Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Battle
Zhang Qiang stared at the map for a while, then turned to Wei Wuji and said, "You take your hundred soldiers from this side, bypass the stream, go to the opposite bank, and lie in ambush in the woods on the opposite bank, remember not to let the enemy's sentry cavalry find out." ”
Then he said to You Haibo: "Take your three hundred soldiers, go around to us, block the enemy's retreat, and when we attack, you will block the fleeing enemy, kill the stragglers, disperse a small group of enemies, and most of the enemy will be let go." ”
He said to Xuanyuan Longfei again: "You and Zhou Congee, with two hundred soldiers, approached the enemy from our side, blocked the enemy's sentry outside, and at the same time outflanked the enemy, so that the enemy could not escape." ”
"Hu Kui, your people stay here, stabilize the people, and if you can't do anything, take the people to Wuyi County, or go back to Jinhua Mansion,"
Zhang Qiang straightened up, "I took two hundred people from the pro-army, as well as one hundred selected young and strong people to attack head-on, and the other young and strong people were issued weapons, and Hu Kui stayed here, Hu Kui, let our sentry cavalry go to the left and right sentry sentry, the road from Jinhua Mansion and the road ahead of Wuyi County." ”
You Haibo said worriedly: "My lord, my lord, my soldiers may not be able to defeat the enemy in the field. Even if the enemy is defeated, I think with our strength, we will no longer be able to defeat the enemy in the field and in the dark, and if we are counterattacked, the consequences will be very serious. ”
Zhang Qiang was very angry and smashed his fist on the table, "The brave wins when we meet on a narrow road, as long as we show the courage to fight, the victory will definitely belong to us!" ”
"Your Excellency is mighty." Zhou Congee Zhou immediately stood up and shouted.
Xuanyuan Longfei, Hu Kui, and Wei Wuji also shouted: "Your Excellency is mighty. ”
"Okay." You Haibo bowed and accepted Zhang Qiang's command.
At this time, Xuanyuan Long flew forward, "My lord, where can I go to find more than 100 soldiers?" ”
Wei Wuji also said: "Yes, my lord, we only have a total of two hundred soldiers, plus Master You's three hundred soldiers, we are only five hundred soldiers who can fight." ”
You Haibo added, "Yes, my lord, are you mistaken?" ”
Zhang Qiang smiled mysteriously, "It's not enough, then go and find it, don't we still have a thousand people?" ”
You Haibo frowned, "Let the people go to war?" They have never experienced fighting, we are facing the enemy's elite, I am afraid that they will be crushed at the first touch, and at that time, we may be afraid of killing them, and we will not escape the enemy's poisonous hands. ”
Zhang Qiang leaned over the table, the burning torch illuminated his face, and his eyes glittered in the flickering firelight, which was confident and confused.
Zhang Qiang grabbed the map, knocked on the map and said, "Wei Wuji has to draw thirty combatable soldiers from my own soldiers, and seventy combatable soldiers from Old Master You's family to intercept the enemy. ”
"Zhou Congee drew twenty combatable soldiers from my own soldiers, supplemented by one hundred of Master You's families, and then pulled three hundred people, your task is to block the enemy's possible stragglers attack, and the people behind will raise torches and hide in high places or in the woods to shout in unison."
Master You took the remaining more than 100 people on this side of the stream, the north of the enemy, hidden in the forests and hills, when the enemy came, he could attack sideways, not hard block, let the enemy escape, leaving only a small group of enemies. ”
I personally brought a hundred personal soldiers as the main force of the battle, and of course I had to send the young and strong people among the 100 people to follow, waving the flag and shouting and cheering, and if necessary, they could fight with us.
Our goal is to crush, not annihilate, the enemy.
Once the enemy changes from a large force to a small one, the threat to us is not great, at this time, we can easily sweep away the enemy who has no time to escape, and if we want to find a surprise attack, the enemy will definitely panic and will not stay and fight with us.
After all, they are not a fully organized Qing army brigade, and after they escape, they will definitely try to escape as far as possible, so that we can spend the night with peace of mind tonight. ”
You Haibo clapped his hands and admired, "The adult's clever plan, the grass people admire." ”
Zhang Qiang's face turned red, what kind of trick did he have, this is not the experience he got in the game, the demoralized enemy, even if there are many people, the combat effectiveness is not at all, the prepared surprise attack is in the dark night, although the strength is a quarter of the enemy, but such a battle, he thinks it should be a complete victory, playing is just a surprise attack, falling into the well.
Thinking about the time when he was attacked by the enemy's elite small army in the game, at that time, it made him often lament.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qiang's troops drove out of the abandoned village camp one after another, and some mules and pack horses were also untied from the carriages and handed over to the people or soldiers who could ride horses, so that they could go out to investigate.
An hour later, when the troops arrived at their positions, Zhang Qiang waited for another half an hour before leading a hundred soldiers, one hundred young and strong, towards the woods on the hillside where the enemy was stationed a mile away.
Before they reached the slope of the hill where the enemy was, they saw the enemy rushing out of the woods in a hurry, and when the first group came, they lit their torches, hurriedly led their horses, and turned over on their horses.
Zhang Qiang said secretly: "It's a pity, it's a Tartar, I found myself so far away."
In a hurry, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but hesitate, and shouted suddenly, "The young and strong are lined up left and right, the musketeers are lined up in front of me, and the musketeers are following me left and right, lined up,"
"Raise the fire!"
More than a dozen people followed behind lit torches together, and the battlefield was suddenly bright.
At this time, there was also a light on the other side of the creek.
The woods on the hillside were noisy, shouting incessantly, the clash of weapons, shouting and scolding, and there was a chaos.
Immediately afterwards, a group of tattered Ming soldiers rushed out and fled in all directions, followed by some Mongols and Jurchens, struggling to kill the fleeing Ming army.
Zhang Qiang was overjoyed, the enemy had bombed the camp.
Just what the doctor ordered.
The Mongols and Jurchens, who had turned over and mounted their horses, saw the light, roared angrily, and rushed over.
Zhang Qiang snorted coldly, "Look for death." ”
"Gunners prepare,"
A group of Manchu cavalry rushed down the hillside one after another, getting closer and closer, getting closer and closer to Zhang Qiang, estimated that they were more than forty steps, Zhang Qiang shouted, "Shoot the firecracker." ”
In the dark night, the firelight flashed one after another, and the Manchu cavalry that rushed in front of them, five or six horsemen fell to the ground, and three or four horsemen were startled, turning in circles, and the riders fell.
"The Gunners reload."
"Musketeers prepare."
Zhang Qiang shouted quickly.
The musketeer stepped forward and raised his gun to aim, and Zhang Qiang quickly shouted, "Shoot." ”
Although there are few musketeers, their accuracy and power are much more accurate and powerful than those of musketeers.
Forty paces away, and at once he knocked down the enemy seven or eight horses.
This group of Manchu cavalry was only twenty or thirty horsemen, and they lost more than half of them at once, and in the dark night, they also hesitated, looking left and right, wanting to take their horses elsewhere.
"Throw javelins," Zhang Qiang shouted.
The young men on the left and right threw their spears and branches in their hands, and even the stones in their hands.
A Manchu cavalryman was hit by the Mongol cavalry behind, and was hit on the head by a strong stone, and fell off his horse with a scream.
The Mongol cavalry behind fired a rain of arrows in a panic and led their horses to run to both sides.
"Bang" Zhang Qiang fired a shot, and a Manchu cavalry who had lost his horse and rushed over with a strange scream fell to the ground unwillingly.
The remaining seven or eight Manchu cavalry were ready to rush again, one or twenty steps, they were unwilling, and the dozen or so Mongolian cavalry behind also turned their horses' heads again, and the Ming cavalry and infantry that ran down from behind swarmed, and they couldn't turn around, so they could only run to Zhang Qiang.
"Prepare for the firecracker," Zhang Qiang shouted.
The Torch Bearer raised the Flame Hammer on the spot.
The young men retreated one after another, lined up behind the musketeers who turned around and loaded, Zhang Qiang and their entire team had retreated more than twenty steps, retreating while fighting, this is the tactic formulated by Zhang Qiang, while walking, he explained to them in detail, how much he can comprehend can only depend on God, but the hundred soldiers around Zhang Qiang are very sure of carrying out his orders, after all, they are blessed by the riding and chopping system, which is almost equivalent to marionettes.
