In Yaozhou, Shaanxi Province on November 24, everything was silent. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info65,000 officers and soldiers were camped in the field under the leadership of Cao Bianjiao, and the soldiers had already fallen asleep at this time.

Li Zhi's equipment was made very quickly. For Fanjiazhuang industry, which generally uses steam engine tools for machining, the production of 50,000 sets of rainproof equipment is a piece of cake. And the flares used in night battles have long been in reserve, so they can be taken out and used directly.

It only took Li Zhi 30 days to prepare these equipment, and sent a convoy to send the equipment to Cao Bianjiao's camp.

After getting Li Zhi's equipment, Cao Bianjiao tried it out and found that the effect was very good. Although rainproof equipment cannot be used in heavy rain, it is no problem to cope with general light rain. The flare is even more effective, it can completely illuminate the night, just like day.

Cao Bianjiao then sent troops south to attack Xi'an.

Cao Bianjiao went south this time, and did not bring the 25,000 weak soldiers of Datong and Jizhen. These weak soldiers are demoralized and vulnerable, and they are defeated as soon as they are attacked on the battlefield, and they have no other effect than to drag down their morale.

The new army now has only 50,000 men left, and its morale is not as resilient as it used to be. If a battle breaks out, these weak soldiers will collapse at the slightest touch and crush the morale of the new army, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

So only 65,000 officers and soldiers went south.

Cao Bianjiao had new equipment, but Li Zicheng didn't know it. Faced with the aggressive officers and troops, Li Zicheng chose to attack the camp at night.

In fact, night raids were not uncommon in ancient warfare. The most famous "Li Yuxue entered Caizhou at night" is a typical example of night attack. And there weren't as many people as night blind in ancient times. If everyone is night blind, activities such as lantern viewing during the Shangyuan Festival will not be held at all. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, every festival, the women of the market would accompany the streets at night, laughing wantonly. This custom spread throughout the north and south, and it can be seen that night blindness was a minority at that time.

The reason why the ancients avoided fighting at night was because they could not see the flag at night, and it was easy to fall into chaos when they fought.

But for Li Zicheng now, it's worth taking a little risk of falling into chaos. The firecrackers had no vision in the dark, and could only fight hand-to-hand with the intruders, so that the invading troops could overwhelm the officers and troops with a numerical advantage.

In the quiet evening, Li Zicheng selected 150,000 soldiers who were not blind at night and slaughtered the official army camp.

The ancients paid attention to the night attack of the human rank grass and the horse bit, which was to surprise it. However, Li Zicheng knew that Cao Bianjiao, as a famous general of the Ming Dynasty, could not have no scouts outside the camp to defend. So Li Zicheng also gave up the attempt of a surprise attack. 150,000 people made a big drum and made steady progress.

As soon as the intrusive army approached the official army camp, the officers and soldiers all woke up. The 50,000 new troops walked to the edge of the camp with Lu Mi guns and aimed them at the intruding troops who were rushing over.

Li Zicheng rode his horse and stood on a small high mound, observing the arrangement of the official army's camp.

Following the example of the Tiger Army, there are many firewood piles on the 30-zhang line outside the new army camp. These piles of firewood are tended by soldiers on duty at night, providing visibility for the firecrackers. But in Li Zicheng's eyes, these firewood piles are not a problem, the firewood piles can only illuminate a nearby place of more than ten meters, and the light and shadow are enough. As long as the invading army sends some hungry soldiers to storm the firewood, they will soon be able to extinguish the fire.

The soldiers shouted for slaughter and rushed to the fragile official barracks.

Officers and soldiers began to shoot.

However, the view of the officers and soldiers at night was terrible. Even when shooting enemies next to a firewood pile, the lack of light will cause the hit rate to plummet.

In the crackling gunfire, the intruding army did not kill many people, and kicked out all the thousands of firewood piles on the 30-zhang line of the camp.

There is also a line of firewood pile ten zhang in front of the camp. However, since the firewood pile on the first line is so easy to deal with, the firewood pile on the second line is obviously not a problem.

Li Guo stood beside Li Zicheng, looked at the official army camp not far away, and laughed.

"King Chuang, these new troops in the Beijing camp think that they are the tiger army of Li Killing God. Only more than 60,000 people dared to attack our more than 200,000 people in the south. We teach them what it means to hit a stone with an egg! ”

"Don't say that we can defeat them in the rain battle, even if it doesn't rain, we can also beat them in the night battle."

Niu Jinxing arched his hand and said: "King Chuang, if this battle is won, my army can take advantage of the situation to attack Shanxi, which is empty in defense." At that time, Shanxi and Shaanxi will be connected, and I will have a lot to do! ”

Li Zicheng listened to the words of the two, took a breath, and did not speak.

In fact, after Li Zhi's Shandong turned around, Li Zicheng no longer had the ambition to compete in the world. Li Zicheng understood that he was not Li Zhi's opponent at all. Now fighting with the officials and soldiers of the Beijing camp can't change the fact that Li Zhi can't be defeated. Li Zicheng only hoped to hold Xi'an now, and did not dare to attack Shanxi again, so as not to provoke Li Zhi's tiger army.

Song Xiance looked at Li Zicheng, saw the helplessness in Li Zicheng's eyes, and couldn't help sighing.

Song Xiance was about to speak, but suddenly heard a sudden sound in the official barracks, "Boom!" "Boom!" Hundreds of rings. Hundreds of black holes suddenly shot diagonally into the sky from the edge of the camp.

The black hole flew into the sky a hundred feet high, and suddenly exploded with a bang, emitting a dazzling light.

The hundreds of flares were like hundreds of little suns, and like dazzling stars, illuminating the vicinity for miles.

The intrusive army was storming the official army camp where two trenches had been dug in the dark, but they were illuminated by more than 300 flares. More than 100,000 soldiers were all exposed to the field of vision of the officers and soldiers in an instant.

Li Guo shook his body violently and shouted, "Oops! ”

Li Zicheng's eyes widened, and his eyes suddenly became blood-red.

The officers and soldiers began to shoot.

In the sound of gunshots like popping beans, countless black smoke erupted from the mouth of Lu Mi's gun. More than 10,000 rounds of bullets swept like a storm towards the soldiers who stormed the camp.

At this time, the front line of the army had rushed to fifteen zhang away from the official army camp, and the distance was very close. The bullets fired by the Forces nouvelles were unmissable.

Whether it is a veteran thief who has experienced a hundred battles, or a new recruit from Shanxi who has just joined the camp of the army. Whether it's a captain in fish scale armor or a hungry soldier with only a spear, it's a matter of one bullet in front of the firecracker.

The soldiers at the front of the army were like mahjong players who had been pushed down, with blood blooming on their bodies, and they pounced on the ground and fell.

The intrusive army did not have time to react, and nearly 10,000 people were killed.

One platoon of soldiers finished shooting, and the second platoon picked up and fired.

Another storm of bullets swept in, and a pig-killing scream came out of the mouth of the bulleting soldier. Thousands more were killed on the outskirts of the camp, and the scene was like a massacre.

At the beginning, 120,000 cavalry fought hand-to-hand combat with the officers and soldiers for half a day, and the casualties were no more than 10,000. And now they were fired twice by the guns of the official army, and more than 10,000 people died in one fell swoop.

There were also two deep trenches ahead, which it was impossible to rush through in such a bright environment.

With a "boom", the invading army collapsed.

But the soldiers of the New Army did not let go of the fleeing thieves, and the third platoon stood on the outskirts of the camp and continued to shoot the fleeing intruders.
