Sky Shadow touches his head, it's really messy, what should I do?

Whether to retreat or reinforce Phoenix Town, he knows the strength of Phoenix Town, and the enemy obviously wants to attack the east and the west and capture Phoenix Town.

Rui Cheng here is obviously a trap for the enemy to attract troops, and Sky Shadow closes his eyes and tries to remember what the military intelligence department told him about Shang Kexi's troops.

70,000, but obviously he can't use 70,000 to do his best to work for the Qing army, this is not Shang Kexi's character, he and Wu Sangui, these Han people, can't sell their lives for the Qing army, it can only be said that this is a cover to attract the Huaxia army, and it is obvious that Yao Qisheng sent troops to Shaanxi and Gansu to disperse and contain the Huaxia army.

At this time, there were constantly cavalry coming and going, reporting to him the movements of the surrounding enemies and the movements of our army, and he led the team to Dawang Town while thinking of a way.

I have to go to Dawang Town, where nearly 200 wounded soldiers and nearly 200 dead soldiers have to be brought back, and the bodies of more than 300 dead soldiers collected by the militia team over there have to be taken to Dawang Town for temporary resettlement.

The corpses of the enemy and the corpses of the horses had already been thrown into a mountain den, and then they had to throw some boulders and branches into it to get some fallen leaves and bury them, and there was no such effort to dispose of their corpses.

Almost half of the more than 1,300 people have become stretcher teams carrying the wounded and carrying corpses, I don't know how many dead bodies there are in Dawang Town, I heard that several villages here have been slaughtered, and this time the Huaxia army suffered a lot of losses.

He vigorously broke a somewhat withered old branch hanging down from an old willow tree beside him, threw it out, and cursed: "These dog traitors, don't let me catch them, I will kill them all." ”

A militiaman who had just joined the army over there looked at Tianying, and the old militiaman beside him whispered to him: "The Huaxia army has always treated those enemies who slaughtered their own people more ruthlessly than the enemy. ”

It took the team forty-five minutes to run to Dawang Town halfway up the mountain, and people said that Wangshan ran dead horses, and sure enough, seeing that it was only five or six minutes away, they climbed for nearly 50 minutes to reach Dawang Town on the mountainside.

Dawang Town is backed by a mountain, and the slopes are full of thorn trees, low grass, and occasionally one or two pine-like trees grow crookedly on the protruding rocks, but where it is already very steep, ordinary people have to climb it with great difficulty.

This side is a continuous more than a mile of more than ten meters high hills, below the hill is a mountain path that goes down, the whole Dawang Town is between this hill and the steep slope of a winding hill less than 100 meters wide, towards the Phoenix Ferry The terrain is getting higher and higher, you have to climb a mountain to see the road on the other side.

There are archways at the intersection on both sides, and there are walles of the village thirty meters back, all of which are built with wood and boulders.

They entered the stockade from the lower terrain, and on the flat ground on both sides of the stockade were some shops and wooden houses, and in the higher places there were some stone houses, and there were some caves on the side of the road further up, and the further up the caves there were fewer and the steeper the terrain became.

On the lower side, there are also several caves on the hills, and a three-meter-wide road across the stockade winds through the village, which is Dawang Town.

In the most central part of Dawang Town, under a rounded hillside that has been cut upright, there is a threshing floor that can accommodate 1,000 people, which is the most spacious place in Dawang Town.

There are no buildings on the edge of the threshing floor, there is a stone house half built of stone under the upright hillside, the first half of the stone house is a large courtyard built of wood that can accommodate dozens of people, and there are some houses in the yard, all built of wood, divided into east and west wings, demolition houses, toilets, as well as stables, sheepfolds, and pigsties.

This is where the most powerful people in Dawang Town live, and it is also the place where Dawang Town deliberates, and it is the mayor's house.

The threshing floor is communal.

The mayor of the town is a native of Shanxi Prefecture, a local, or the company commander of a local ordinary militia company, this is the policy of the Huaxia Army, generally find the local people as the main position, the Huaxia Army people as the deputy position, try to respect the customs and habits of the local people, and appoint the local people, so that they can manage the local area well, but this local person must be the original Chinese Army of the southern and northern wars and more loyal people.

The town was a little dilapidated and a little miserable, after all, it had been attacked by an enemy who had outnumbered them several times as much.

A militia company was scrapped, leaving only a few dozen people in combat effectiveness, and the others were either killed in battle or went out on a mission and disappeared or did not come back, needless to say, it can almost be judged as killed, because it is impossible for the enemy to capture them, without that time and energy to take prisoners, the scene where the special forces raised in the TV series are walking around with prisoners is impossible to appear, and the war is generally only possible when there is a large-scale battle. In the field, an enemy army in action will not leave a prisoner to annihilate the enemy army, and it is generally killed on the spot, otherwise it will definitely slow down the march, unless the prisoner has a relatively high official rank and is valuable.

Because he was anxious about Ruicheng County, as well as Phoenix Town, Tianying left behind all the bodies of the wounded and dead, and then left a militia of fifty people, and the others were taken out by him and rushed to Phoenix Town.

Where are there still many troops waiting for him to command, he asked the militia company commander with makeup, and found that Wan Douni did not appoint a commander-in-chief for these troops, so many troops do not have a commander-in-chief, if it is a field army, it is better, but these are militia companies, who obeys whom, even if they are sorted according to the official rank, the militia units may not be able to be pinched together, only themselves, the garrison general from the corps headquarters, can make them completely convinced, and obey the command, even if there is some disobedience, they can't make much of a big harrier.

The field army is prestigious, these militia companies are waiting to be promoted to the field army, and being able to deal with him, a senior staff officer, is something they can't desire, and now that they are in front of them, they will definitely do their best.

In the night, a bright moon hung in the sky, which made it more convenient for the troops to move, and Tianying quickly rushed to the ferry port of Phoenix Town with a force of about 1,200 people.

At this time, he didn't know that nearly 10,000 Qing troops were besieging Ruicheng County.

On the city wall of Ruicheng County, Wan Douni and the elite soldiers of the infantry company of the field army stood on the city gate tower and looked at the dense enemies in the mountains and fields with binoculars.

Counting them, there were probably 10,000 of these enemies.

So he sent a cavalry squad to desperately rush out of the city gate, several cavalry squads were intercepted by the enemy's fire, two squads were completely wiped out, and one squad was half wiped out, but in the case of the enemy deliberately releasing water, they rushed out smoothly and went to the Phoenix Town ferry to find reinforcements.

On a hillside in the distance, dozens of people were lying on the hillside looking at the mountain city in the distance.

A pipe belt pressed the handle of the knife and quietly said to a middle-aged veteran who was wearing an overcoat, with blue top thick eyebrows and big eyes, a round face, a slightly shrunken chin, and seemed to have a scar, "General, the enemy's cavalry for help has been released, do you want to attack the city immediately?" ”

The veteran said: "Well, since the enemy has sent people to move the rescue troops, then we should also take this mountain city, and when the enemy rescue troops come, we just rely on the city wall to defend and drag the enemy." ”

He turned back to Guan and said: "Your troops go down the mountain to defend the ferry, don't want the enemy to reinforce from the ferry, you must block it for me, I will give you the cavalry, don't want the enemy to come from the opposite bank to reinforce you, otherwise you will come to see you." ”

The pipe band immediately knelt on the ground, "Wow." The last general went to guard the ferry. ”

The veteran turned back to the red-topped general beside him and said, "Investigate ahead, how many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" ”

The red-topped military general said: "Report to the general, the enemy originally had 5,000 soldiers and horses, and the others were scattered in the countryside, a total of 25,000 soldiers and horses in this area, and then from the other side of the river came a battalion of the enemy's regular army, about seven or eight hundred people, currently in the city, during the day, I saw that there were 200 cavalry and a company of infantry of the militia elite brigade here, that is to say, the enemy's regular soldiers and horses were only about 500 people.

During the day, we saw that the enemy had sent about 2,000 men and horses out of the city, and they did not return, which means that the enemy now had 2,000 to 2,500 men and horses, half of them. ”

The veteran muttered: "The enemy's main force is the militia force, the combat effectiveness is equivalent to the green battalion troops, we have 5,000 Xiangyong and 2,000 regimental bravery, there are 10,000 regular soldiers and horses, five or six times the enemy's soldiers and horses, okay, let those Xiangyong, Miao remnants and Tusi soldiers and horses test the attack, you take the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to suppress the formation, bring a battalion of artillery pipes, see that it is wrong, let the soldiers and horses of the artillery pipes directly bombard him." ”

After the red-topped tube was taken away, he muttered: "Lord Wang, success or failure is here, I hope you can break through the ferry and annihilate the enemy's soldiers and horses." ”

"Bang bang bang," the Miao people's muskets began to fire at the enemy's city wall in an orderly manner, but now they still have a road of nearly three hundred meters, and their muskets can't hit anything at all, and the range is only a few tens of meters, purely to listen to the sound and scare the enemy on the city wall.

There are not a few torches on the city wall here, and the enemy can be faintly seen by the moonlight.

The Tusi soldiers and Miao soldiers, as well as some of the village warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, began to charge towards the city, because it was a mountain city, there was no moat at all, and they could directly rush to the city through the flat ground of several hundred meters around the city wall.

The city wall is only a little more than two meters high, the stone city wall, the stone on the mountain is convenient, some places simply use wood and soil to build the city wall, the width of the city wall is different, some places are only more than five hundred wide, some places are more than one meter wide, and some places that width can park a Dongfeng truck.

The city is not very regular, crooked, using the surrounding hills and slopes, and even the city walls built by large tree trunks, the thickness is different, the high ground is uneven, some are more than five meters high, some are only about one meter eight high, but the stones and slopes below are one or two meters high, and the average city wall is a little more than two meters high.

When the Miao soldiers approached the city wall thirty or fifty meters, the soldiers of the ordinary militia brigade on the city wall began to fire, and the muskets in their hands were much more advanced than the enemy, at least the Jingai-2 arquebus, which the Huaxia army had eliminated for a long time.

In the night, the sparkling firelight on the city wall suddenly rushed towards the black figure of the enemy outside the city wall, like a firefly flying rapidly.

The sound was like the sporadic sound of firecrackers before the New Year's festival reached midnight.

There was a crackling sound, and there was a scream under the city wall, but the people on the city wall only had low shouts and hurried footsteps, and there was not much movement.
