Chapter 90: Sand. Jahan launched an offensive and rashly marched into the middle of the plan

Sand. Jahan wanted to move back into the situation through land warfare, and he had a point. The vast Wolmore Empire had almost endless human resources, and mobilizing a million people was not at all exhausted. If necessary, there will be a steady stream of mobilization. And those tribal armies still brought their own food to fight. And the 500,000 standing army of the Wolmore Empire has been fighting almost constantly. The Womore Empire was religiously diverse, rebellious and strife, and the Imperial army was often on the go to extinguish fires and fight wars with unconvincing kingdoms. It is not an exaggeration to say that the army of the Wolmore Empire can fight well. The generals of the Wolmore Empire's army had come from the war and were more eager to fight. Because military merits in the war bring real honor and bring rich benefits.

In fact, sand. Jahan's self-confidence also comes from one of the magic weapons of his army, which is the invincible elephant army. When Genghis Khan swept through Europe and Asia, but when he hit the current part of the Wolmore Empire, he retreated and did not capture this place, one of the big reasons was that they fled when they saw the elephant army.

There are many theories about the fact that Genghis Khan did not occupy Indochina by the Mongols. Some say that it was the Mongols who came to the Ganges, and when they saw that the water of the Ganges was hot, and the soldiers were all from the north, they could not stand it, so they fled quickly. Of course, the sand. Jahan preferred to believe that the Mongols fled because they were afraid of the elephant army.

Sand. Jahan also heard that the Burmese elephant army was defeated by the Ming army. However, he believes that there are too few elephants in Burma to pose a threat to the Ming army. At this time, he forgot that their navy was very large, but it was still defeated by the Ming army.

More than 200,000 men, who had begun preparations for the attack today, had crossed the Brahmaputra River and camped in the woods of a valley on the east bank of the river. The camp of more than 200,000 people is boundless. Due to the terrain of the valley, the camp can only be stationed in the mountains. Rainy mountainous terrain with lush trees. Just near the camp, in a tall tree, a scout from the Mountain Jungle Corps, a Burmese soldier and a hired local Kasi, sat firmly. They were dressed in camouflage uniforms, their faces were painted with camouflage, and they had long since blended with the trees.

Although the officers and soldiers of the mountain jungle have undergone strict jungle survival training, there is still a gap between them and the Burmese and Kasi who are familiar with the situation here.

The three of them had chosen the tree, and when the Kiln Scouts were about to climb it, the Burmese and Kasi grabbed him and laughed. The Cassie pointed to the index and swam in a serpentine shape with his hand. The kiln scout understood that he was saying that there were snakes on it. It would be strange if the scout of the Mountain Jungle Army was afraid of snakes, and he waved his hand disdainfully, still wanting to go up the tree. But the two of them desperately grabbed him.

The scout had to listen to them, he knew that they knew better.

The Cassie people circled around under the big tree and picked up several snakes, large and small, with bamboo poles. The scout was a little surprised, and took out the realgar and sprinkled some around the tree, for he was afraid that the snake would come back. Snakes are afraid of realgar.

The tree was so big that the Cassie climbed the tree in a circle, constantly picking out snakes with their knives that the Scout had never seen. Two people under the tree used bamboo poles to pick the snake away.

The snake was almost done, and the two people under the tree climbed up the tree. They set up a camouflage-hued rainproof tent on a huge tree branch. You can't see them from the outside, even when you come under the tree. But they couldn't look at the camp with binoculars, and their view was blocked by the leaves. However, they have a way of tying a rope to a branch in front of them that obscures their view, and when they need to observe, they slowly use the rope to pull the branch in front of them.

The three of them have been in ambush here for three days and will return tomorrow. It's okay to eat here, but the damp scouts can't stand it. But the Burmese and Kasi seem to be very willing to stay here, in fact they prefer to eat the canned meat and compressed biscuits and dry instant noodles that they bring with them, which are simply the best delicacy for them. They didn't dare to make a fire in the tree, otherwise the instant noodles would be even more popular with the Burmese and Kassi.

When the three of them were fine, they slept in the tent in the tree. That night, they finished eating the canned food and ate some mustard, otherwise their stomachs would not be able to bear it. Suddenly, I heard that the inside of the Wolmore Imperial camp seemed to be very lively.

They pulled open the branches and looked carefully inside the camp of the Imperial army of Wolmore with binoculars. They found that there seemed to be a meal in the camp today. The cannon seems to have been pulled out and placed. The scout judged that it might be that the Wolmore Imperial army was going to make an operation tomorrow. Immediately took out the radio, put on headphones and "tick-tock" to send the situation back to the command.

I don't know how many of them are in the entire front line.

Qin Peng and Jiang Wei received information from all over the place, and after synthesizing it, they knew that the Wommore Empire's army was going to attack tomorrow.

Qin Peng said: "Just wait for them!" Although we are in a good position to confront them, we still have a lot to do and we cannot afford to wait. ”

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Hehe! The Womor could not afford to wait. It is estimated that the troops on both sides of the Brahmaputra River are estimated to be at least hundreds of thousands, or even more. They eat and drink in the sky. Not to mention that it's so fucking difficult to transport here. It's like you can't do it if it doesn't rain for a day. Jiang Wei couldn't help but curse at the ghost weather here.

"Yes! It's hard for us officers and soldiers from the north. Fortunately, most of the soldiers in your Mountain Jungle Army are southerners. It's still Mr. Zhang who thought early, otherwise we are all soldiers in the north, and it will be even more difficult! After Qin Peng finished speaking, he pulled the conversation back to the topic, "According to the predetermined plan, we will fight in front and retreat immediately!" ”

"Don't worry! Our long-range artillery has long been ready to shoot Zhuyuan, and they have also carried out test firing. Heavy weapons are in the rear, leaving only weapons in front that can be taken away at any time. Jiang Wei said, "Tomorrow I will give them a little bitterness, and I will also give them a little sweetness!" And then we'll bring them into our preset battlefield. ”

Confronting the Wommore Empire head-on was the first line of defense built by Qin Peng and them, which was a defense line composed of fences and wooden stakes that stretched for more than ten kilometers along the hills, and from the side of the Wommore Empire's army, it was also a majestic lineup. However, the defense line that Qin Peng and the others put so much effort into building was all for the Womor Empire's army.

Sand. Jahan knew the importance of winning the first battle, and he got up very early this morning, and set off with his team after breakfast.

However, it was not a simple matter for a large group of men and horses to be dispatched, although the Wolmore Empire's troops were very professional, and the sun had already risen very high when they lined up their troops in front of the Yaogang people. Today is a rare sunny day, as if God wants to see how a bloody battle goes.

Sand. As far as the eye could see, the Ming army's front was hunting with flags, and the soldiers were all holding swords and guns.

Sand. Jia Han looked at the majestic team behind him, full of confidence, and waved his hand to order: "Generals, the time has come to make meritorious contributions!" Let's go! ”

As soon as the drums in the Imperial army of Wolmore stopped, the sound of "dong dong" artillery sounded, and the smoke from the artillery positions quickly obscured the positions. The opposite position was also blown up with thick smoke, and the Womor Imperial cavalry took the lead, and the infantry held back, rushing towards the Ming army's position that had blown up several gaps. At the same time, the crossbowmen fired rain-like arrows and crossbows at the Ming position.

However, the sand. Jia Han saw that on the Ming army's position, they still stubbornly began to counterattack, many shells fell in their attacking team, and many ** were detonated on the ground, and many soldiers and war horses were blown to the ground. However, the stubborn Wolmore Imperial army, unmoved, still attacked very resolutely. Just as the army was about to approach the rejection of the horse and attack the Ming position, suddenly a lot of bullets were fired from behind the fence of the Ming army, and the attacking cavalry and infantry were knocked down piece by piece.

At the same time, the shells that fell into their attacking ranks were more dense.

The Wolmore Imperial Army, which had fought many battles, had never encountered such a fierce bullet strike, nor had it encountered so many artillery attacks.

The unprepared first attack of the Wolmore Imperial Army was repulsed. But they didn't know that the kiln men had spared a hand, and only used a small part of the firepower, otherwise they would have suffered more casualties.

Sand. When Jahan saw that the attacking army had withdrawn, he went mad and executed two officers with his troops. However, he saw the firepower of the Ming army's counterattack, which was too fierce.

The second attack, Sha. Jahan was the first to organize preparations for more intense artillery fire. But how did they know that the Yaogang people built a lot of anti-artillery fortifications on the position, and their inpowerful shells and artillery damage were very limited.

The second attack was more dense and outnumbered. When they rushed to the front of the kiln fence to resist the horses, they were killed by bullets, but the officers and soldiers of the Wolmore Empire army behind them swore not to retreat and continued to attack.

Sand. Jahan knew that this was the most critical time, and the drums of war behind him shook the sky. Finally, the sand. Jahan saw that there were finally some places where the Ming army couldn't stand it. The army of the Wommore Empire, with a great increase in confidence, broke through in many places. In the end, the defenders retreated.

However, the follow-up Wolmore Empire army encountered it, and the Yaogang people alternated cover, paying a lot of casualties to drive the defenders out of the first line of positions. To their surprise, the speed at which the opponent fled was simply too fast. Soon he fled without a trace.

Jiang Wei personally organized this battle to lure the enemy into the front line, and the whole battle was defeated very really. Jahan also believed that the Ming army could not stop the attack and retreat of his own army.

Coming to the position of the kiln gang, Sha. Jahan is even more convinced that the opponent really can't stop the retreat. Because he saw that the Ming army on the position would have spent a lot of strength, and there was still a lot of food left.

At the celebration banquet, Sha. Although Jahan was very proud, he still reminded the generals that the firearms of the Ming army were very powerful, and they must be treated with caution in the future.

A general took advantage of the first victory and said: "Your Majesty, although the Ming army has powerful firearms, they can't withstand our onslaught when they fight to the death!" ”

Another general said, "Your Majesty, our elephant army has not yet entered the war." With today's victory, when our morale is boosted, we will kill tomorrow. Catch up with the Ming army and drive them out of Burma once and for all! ”

Sand. Jahan waved his hand and said, "The front is all hills and valleys, the roads are not wide, and the march is difficult. The Ming army's position was nearly a hundred miles away from here. We have to be very careful. When more troops and supplies have crossed the Brahmaputra River behind us, we will advance. Otherwise, we will be disconnected from the front and back, and it will be easy to be separated by our opponents. It is not conducive to us to give full play to the advantage of being numerous. ”

Qin Peng and Jiang Wei were also very helpless about the slowly soaring way of fighting the Wommore Empire, so they could only wait patiently.

However, the scouts reported that many more Wolmore Empire troops had built two bridges and crossed the Brahmaputra River, and Jiang Wei happily said to Qin Peng: "General Qin, this is God helping us!" We only need to blow up the bridge over the Brahmaputra River, and we can completely annihilate the main force of the Dormore Empire's army east of the river. ”

"yes!" Qin Peng pointed to the Brahmaputra River on the map and said, "We should first send a small team to ambush the Brahmaputra River from the jungle to the south, and wait for the order to blow up these two temporary bridges." When we fight back, we have to let our navy cooperate with us. Intercept the fleeing armies of the Womore Empire. ”

Jiang Wei personally arranged a small detachment, led by the Cassi, to carry out the task of blowing up the bridge.

Sand. When Jahan took command of his army again, his good luck seemed to be gone, and it began to rain incessantly. Hundreds of thousands of troops, pulled out far in the valley. Finally, they came to a wide place. The road ahead was blocked by a landslide. Sand. Jahan ordered the army to be reined in, and he knew that if the Ming army attacked them, they would not be able to fight back.

By midnight, when the rain had stopped, more than 300,000 people had gathered in the valley. In the muddy valley, horses, elephants and many people were drenched in rain. The tent that was erected by the strong face was also wet, not much stronger than the outside.

At dawn, the officer who opened the road in front came back and reported that the road ahead seemed to have been destroyed by the Ming army, and a large amount of earth and stones had been piled up, and it could not be dredged in a short time.

Sand. Jahan, who was in the same mood as a gloomy rainy day, commanded, "Don't report such things to me!" Send more people to open the way! ”

When the officer left, Sha. Jahan suddenly felt very bad, and when he left the big tent, he saw that in this mountain pass, hundreds of thousands of troops had been gathered. But everything was a mess.

Sand. A chill arose in Jahan's heart, and he said to one of the ministers who came out, "What should we do if the Ming army attacks us in our hearts?" ”

"This, this?" The minister did not dare to answer, and said, "Your Majesty, the Ming army has been frightened by us and has fled far away. Do not worry! ”

But the sand. The more Jahan thought about it, the more frightened he became, and ordered: "Organize a regiment to be on combat duty immediately." Be ready for battle. Prepare the horses, I'm going to the front to see the road conditions! ”

But it was too late. It's in the sand. Jahan rode his horse, escorted by the guards, to the place where the road was cleared in front of him, and before he could speak. Behind him, at the bottom of the valley where a large number of troops had gathered, suddenly there was a sudden explosion in the ground as if a pot was boiling.

The kiln people have done a lot of work here. There weren't that many anti-infantry**, but the kiln people buried a lot of ** in the ground here. These ** were detonated at the same time, and with a loud bang, the entire valley floor was covered like boiling soup in a pot. All the tents flew upward, and when they fell again, they were all in pieces. Those who were not blown up were also shocked and bleeding from their mouths and noses.

Sand. The unsuspecting Jahan Guards were also blown off their horses by the blast wave. Sand. Jahan had escaped the disaster, but hundreds of thousands of troops were torn apart by the bombing, and he got up from the ground and stared blankly at the rising smoke clouds rolling at the bottom of the valley.

At this time, countless soldiers wearing colorful camouflage appeared on the valley, and they slowly pressed towards the valley.

Sand. The captain of Jahan's guard picked him up on a war horse and ran into the jungle beside him. The captain of the guard must not let the sand. Jahan was captured.

The Kiln Gang infantry rushed into the valley where a big explosion had just occurred, and eliminated the soldiers of the Wommore Empire who did not die one by one, just like picking up garbage. The soldiers of the Wommore Empire who did not die were as if they had no souls, and they had no intention of resisting. The soldiers knew that even if they didn't kill these people, many of them would have ruptured internal organs, and they would probably not live long.

At the same time, the Wommore Imperial troops marching in the long valley also felt a violent explosion in front of them, and the earth jumped. But they didn't know what was going on. However, they soon became careless, and kiln soldiers appeared on several hills. The soldiers on the hill shot at them, throwing their hands **, and they were powerless to fight back.

Where the number of the Womore Empire's troops was concentrated, there would be cannonballs whistling down, flying their arms and legs everywhere.

The Wolmore Imperial army lost contact with each other before and after, and did not know what to do. There was no way, and the fight continued until night, and the soldiers of the Wolmore Empire began to flee for their lives. Soon the fleeing soldiers formed a torrent in the valley.

At dawn, when the rout retreated to the original first position of the Yaogang people, the generals behind stopped the rout and arranged the defense line. The generals here don't know what's going on in front of them, and they don't know the sand. How's Jahan? However, the responsibility of the soldiers made them consciously organize the defensive line, and ordered that there would be no forgiveness for those who fled backwards.

There were also more than 400,000 troops who crossed the Brahmaputra River. It's still very combative. Until the evening, the sand. Jahan returned to the army under the escort of the guards.

Only then did the generals know that they fell into the Ming army, and the defeat of the Ming army was deliberately leading them into the valley where many ** were buried.

Here the generals and the sand . Jia Han felt that this defeat was not defeated, but fell for the Ming army.

Sand. Jia Han thought to himself, although he lost a lot of his elite army today, he still had most of his army, and he still had the strength to fight with the Ming army. He also has to avenge the dead officers and soldiers.
