Chapter 68 Ningde Meets Ambush Wang Yi offers a plan

General Guoyi of the Dashun Army in Ganzhou is worrying here. The people of the kiln are approaching step by step, and there seems to be no one who can stop them. Although there are more than 50,000 horses here, there is not enough food and grass. Although some grain was transferred from various places before, it could not solve the big problem at all. The continuous drought here for several years is really a shortage of grain, and it was expected to transfer grain from Lanzhou, but as soon as the kiln people came, Lanzhou was already a kiln gang person. In addition, many defeated soldiers fled, and the food was even more insufficient. Now he is looking forward to the kiln people coming over as soon as possible. Because the kiln people came early, they could also fight a battle while there was no shortage of food. Otherwise, once the food is cut off, this battle will not be able to be fought.

At the beginning, I knew that the border here was poor, and no one wanted to come here, so King Chuang directly ordered him to guard here. But now it is said that King Chuang left on his own, and he did not inform them and told them what to do. Hold? Hundreds of thousands of troops are not guarded, and there are tens of thousands of people who have no food and grass and no rescuers outside, can they stand it? He himself didn't believe it at all. But there is nowhere to escape. Did he flee to the Mongols as a slave?

There is no other way but to fight to the death. Thinking of the fight, General Guo Yi was not afraid, they all crawled out of the pile of dead people. I don't know how many battles have been fought.

In order to strengthen the defense capability here, he also has a mobile force in his hand, that is, more than 8,000 cavalry. Although it was a heavy burden to raise cavalry, it was simply not possible to deal with the Mongols without cavalry. Now these cavalry can be used against the kiln people. He thought of a surprise surprise attack.

Knowing that there were still tens of thousands of Dashun troops in front, Ning De didn't dare to be careless. When advancing to Ganzhou, he sent a cavalry regiment to fight in the front. The cavalry regiment not only opened the way to advance, but also sent scout horses and brigades on both sides to advance in parallel.

But Ningde's opponent was General Guoyi, who was a veteran of battle. He expected that the kiln men would give him this hand, so he ambushed the soldiers far away from the main road, which was more than the normal distance of the ambush. However, he also knew that his arrangement had also increased the distance of the cavalry charge, but without this, he would not be able to make a surprise attack. This time he had only 5,000 cavalry in ambush, and his strategy was also to plunder. It was to launch a cavalry attack and fight and leave, which is what they learned from the Mongols here.

General Guo Yi did not listen to the dissuasion of other officers, and insisted on personally leading the team to give the Yaogang people a dismount.

The marching order of the Yaogang People's Army was a cavalry regiment in front, followed by the 2nd Infantry Division of the 1st Army. Just as the 2nd Infantry Division braved the wind and sand until noon, and the sky was hot, they suddenly noticed a puff of smoke and dust on the mountain beam on the right, followed by the sound of horses' hooves rolling like thunder. In the event of an attack, the officers and men of the 2nd Infantry Division immediately understood. In fact, most of the people in the Second Infantry Division were horse-mounted, and the rest were also in horse-drawn carriages. There were quite a few people who sat in the carriage and followed the carriage on the road. However, for fear of being attacked, the horse-drawn wagons with heavy machine guns were on top, and the shooters did not dare to leave their heavy machine guns.

The general Guo Yi found that the cavalry of the Yaogang people took the lead in opening the way, he decided to let the cavalry go, he saw that the team behind was on foot and there were many carriages, he knew that these should be infantry, and decided to attack them. He immediately commanded the cavalry, which had been holding back for a long time, to rush down. He knew there that the carriages had heavy machine guns on top of them. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, when he saw the rushing cavalry, spat out the sand in his mouth, took out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky. This is the signal, meaning that you can shoot.

The heavy machine gunners had people hold the reins of the wagon, fearing that they would startle the horses when the guns rang out. Then the heavy machine gunners on the roof of the car opened fire on the rushing cavalry.

There was one fire platoon per infantry company, five heavy machine guns in the fire platoon, and one light machine gun per infantry squad. The 2nd Infantry Division just stretched the line very long, and the fire could be spread along the road. If you can reach it, there are forty or fifty heavy machine guns involved in the shooting, and the light machine guns are bored after firing for a while, so they stop. The infantry were armed with automatic rifles, but almost no one fired. Watching a heavy machine gun shoot a rain of bullets, they felt that their rifle was very boring to participate again. They all watched the excitement with guns. Seeing the cavalry of the Dashun Army rushing down from the distant hillside like a tide, the heavy machine gun bullets hit the men and horses constantly rolling on the hillside. The infantrymen seemed to have forgotten that this was their own war. Slowly, the infantrymen began to talk about the feelings of the cavalrymen who rushed down. Someone said: "You see, the cavalry behind must have also known that rushing down was death, but he couldn't control the horses." ”

Another said: "He can't stop it, and the one behind him is rushing up." They were right on top-down terrain, but they were unlucky enough to run into us. It's not easy to run back. ”

On the battlefield, the cavalry rushing down from the hillside was like a cloud drifting down, but the rain of bullets of the second division was like a strong wind, blowing this cloud in all directions.

Most of the heavy machine guns equipped with infantry are water-cooled heavy machine guns, which are difficult to carry, but they can shoot at the cavalry without interruption. Large-caliber heavy machine gun warheads are a sharp weapon against cavalry. The power of cavalry lies in the speed at which the horses run. But no matter how fast the horse is, it is still much slower than the machine gun bullets.

At this time, the artillerymen had their mortars ready again and joined the activities of the reaper cavalry. Raindrops of cannonballs rained down on the cavalry, throwing horses aside, and throwing dead horses and corpses into pieces and into the air.

The brigade rushed down. General Guo Yi only appreciated the power of the firearms of the kiln gangsters, but it was too late. Sober-minded, he did not wait for the cavalry to be killed, and fled west with two hundred cavalry around him.

By the time Ningde, Zhao Jinli, and Wang Yi came over, the battle was already over. The hill in front was covered with the corpses of war horses and the dead corpses of the cavalry of the Dashun army. The blood had already flowed into purple-black streams on the hillside.

The tragic situation made Wang Yi frown fiercely.

Seeing this, Ning De said: "It's a pity, it's worth it if these good things die in battle with the Mongols, but it's a pity that we have internal friction ourselves." Mongolians know it's time to celebrate with a drink. ”

At this time, there was another burst of gunfire in front, and a moment later the explosion of mortar shells. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division came over and said that a group of cavalry had fled westward, and it was estimated that the cavalry regiment had intercepted them.

"Leave some people to clean up the battlefield, and the brigade continues to move forward." Ningde ordered.

The 2nd Infantry Division left one regiment to clean up the battlefield, and the others moved on.

Just walked for a while, the commander of the cavalry regiment who opened the way in front. Escorted some cavalry of the Dashun army over. It turned out that they heard the gunfire behind them and knew that the infantry behind them had been attacked. The angry cavalry commander whipped his leather boots with a whip. After calming down, he led the cavalry to the side and surrounded him. It just so happened that they intercepted more than 200 people brought by General Guo Yi. As soon as the cavalry of the two sides looked at each other, there were more than a dozen cavalry left of more than 200 cavalry. No matter how fast the saber is, it is not as fast as the bullet, and the rest is still the cavalry commander who wants to catch General Guoyi alive. However, after General Guo Yi and them missed their horses, they beat their horses and galloped wildly. General Guo Yi's horse is really good. The horses of the cavalry regiment could not catch up at all, looking at the horses that ran away. One of the gunners of the cavalry regiment asked: "Commander, do you want to kill him?" ”

"Kill him, what are you waiting for?" The cavalry regiment shouted.

The gunner, who couldn't wait for a long time, put the shell directly into the adjusted barrel. A few shells were fired in a row, chasing General Guo Yi's shells, and the last one finally blew him off his horse.

The cavalry chased after him, and General Guo Yi's horse was blown up. General Guo Yi's stomach was blown open, and his intestines were exposed. But General Guo Yi, who had shed a lot of blood, was not dead. So they brought him back on horseback. Ning De saw that General Guo Yi still breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the military doctor: "Hurry up and save him!" ”

"We can't have blood transfusions here, I'm afraid he won't survive!" Said the military doctor.

"We have such good medicine, you must save him too." Ning De knew that if this General Guoyi could live, the rest of the guards would be easy to manage. However, Ningde really regarded the sulfonamide in Yaogang as a miracle drug, and he didn't know the truth of sulfonamide saving people.

The military doctor cleaned the wound of General Guo Yi and sewed the wound on his stomach with casing thread in two layers. He was fed a lot of sulfonamides. Then put him on the bed of the medical steel spring carriage.

Ning De asked the captives and found out that this time they had eliminated five thousand cavalry.

Ningde said: "In the future, cavalry will not be of much use. ”

Zhao Jinli said: "Cavalry is still needed for rapid mobility, but it is not very useful to charge into battle. ”

When camping at night, Ning De asked the military doctor, "How is that guy?" ”

"I fed him some milk and some sulfonamides. But I haven't woken up yet. The doctor said, "It depends on what happens to him tomorrow!" ”

"I said, why can't you have a blood transfusion?" Ningde asked.

"I can't check my blood type here, and if I don't have the right blood type, I can't have a blood transfusion." Said the military doctor.

"I know that if I don't have the right blood type, I can't have a blood transfusion." Ning De asked, "When they were in Yaogang, Zhang Bingchen and they were able to check the blood type." Why can't you, this thing is only useful on the battlefield. ”

"Dean Zhang, they are working on blood testing equipment that can be brought to the battlefield, but we can't do it when we come out." The medic replied.

Zhao Jinli and Wang Yi came over, and Ning De said, "I'm looking for you." You say, how can we use this General Guoyi? ”

"Deputy Commander, you better listen to me first." Zhao Jinli said, "We just tried the prisoners. Those captives had to eat something. It turned out that they were running out of food. That is, their cavalry was better, and they took care of a meal before they came out. In other places, the porridge is not drunk. ”

"Huh! Let's stop fighting, let's starve them and surrender again," Ning De felt wrong after speaking, "No! If people are hungry for this, the people will not be well. ”

"And yes! Even if they surrendered, there were still forty or fifty thousand people," Wang Yi said, "and the people had no food." ”

"Don't worry, the grain from Lanzhou has begun to be transported here. We can take out some of our rations first. Ningde said, "The summer grain is coming down." Just stick to it for a few months. ”

Zhao Jinli said: "If only this General Guo Yi could wake up tomorrow." He knew that their men would starve to death if they didn't surrender, so just let him give the order to surrender. ”

"This guy hasn't died yet, I don't know if he can come back to life." Ningde was also worried about this.

"Hey! Pregnant. Those prisoners were General Guo Yi's own soldiers, and we can do that. Wang Yi said a plan.

The soldiers took the prisoners and brought them over, and Wang Yi said to them, "I am Wang Yi, a mighty general, come with me." ”

Wang Yi led a few of them to the medical tent. The captives were a little excited when they saw General Guo Yi lying asleep on a bed covered with snow-white sheets. Wang Yi stopped them with his hand, led them out and said, "The general is seriously injured, and his intestines have been blown out, so don't disturb him now." Whether he can survive or not depends on his creation. However, when the general woke up, he said that before he returned, he told your soldiers not to move. Which of you is going to deliver a letter? ”

A small leader of the pro-soldiers said: "They can only believe me if I go back." However, I did not hear the general's own orders. I can't speak. ”

"That's good! You just wait for the general to wake up," said Wang Yi angrily, "I'm afraid that the brothers in the castle would have starved to death by then." You're well fed anyway. ”

"This ....."

"What is this," said Wang Yi, "I tell you, we have brought in a large amount of grain. If you don't inform them, they will go hungry and the consequences will be severe. ”

These soldiers knew that in that case, the hungry soldiers would have to blow up the battalion.

"Then I'll go back and send back the news that the general is injured and the grain has arrived." The leader of the pro-soldiers said.

"Well, give you a fast horse, the faster you are, the better." Wang Yi said. When the soldiers left, Wang Yi didn't forget to bring him two large pieces of cooked horse meat.

Seeing that this personal soldier was gone, Zhao Jinli said to Wang Yi: "General Wang, you are bad enough, aren't you afraid that these two pieces of horse meat will kill him?" ”

"Huh! General Guo Yi's personal soldiers had a very high status in the battalion, and ordinary people did not dare to provoke them. Wang Yi said, "As long as he sends back the news that the grain has arrived, those desperately hungry soldiers will hope that General Guoyi will wake up and lead them to surrender." Can't wait, they came on their own. ”

Early the next morning, although General Guo Yi's high fever subsided, he had not woken up yet. The medic poured some more milk.

Ning De, Zhao Jinli, and Wang Yi were all waiting anxiously in the camp. Until noon, the Dashun army on the Ganzhou side couldn't wait. The soldier who had sent the letter came with a mighty general, and a dozen horses in all.

The mighty general came to the front of the camp to see Wang Yi by name. Wang Yi greeted him out, and someone came to ask him, "What happened to our general?" ”

Hearing that the tone of the person who came was not good, Wang Yi did not show weakness, "What's the matter, didn't he say anything when he went back?" ”

"He, he said," the mighty general was at once speechless, "I want to hear from you." ”

"Huh! Did I sound good? Wang Yi was not polite.

The mighty general wanted to be angry, but he knew that this was not the place for him to be presumptuous, and he didn't know what to say at once. Wang Yi gave him a step and said, "Do you want to see the general?" ”

"Exactly." The mighty general said gratefully.

"Then dismount and come with me." Wang Yi waved his hand and said.

The dozen or so people dismounted, tied the horses, and followed Wang Yi into the camp. They came to the medical tent, and the military doctor had just begun to change the medicine for General Guo Yi and did not let them enter the tent.

Wang Yi said, "Let's wait first. ”

At this time, the camp was just opened, and the smell of rice and meat wafted together. The mighty general who came still endured it, and the pro-soldiers, their noses couldn't help it, and they inhaled in with their noses.

Wang Yi smiled and said, "General, we have to wait a while, let the brothers eat something first!" ”

"This ....."

"Alright!" Wang Yi said, "No matter what, we used to be brothers who ate together. Even if we continue to fight, let's eat first and then talk about it. ”

"Good! Thank you. The mighty general was also very cheerful, and said with a fist.

The steamed buns in the camp today, and coincidentally, the flour they used was still transported from the kiln. Because the flour in the kiln has been ground to make monosodium glutamate. So the face is extraordinarily white. The steamed buns just out of the pot smell fragrant and sweet. Today there is a vegetable, and there is a casual broth.

Although the soldiers brought by the mighty general can eat better than ordinary soldiers, they will definitely not be able to eat such things. They ate coquettishly, and they didn't care about anything.

Wang Yi asked the man to cut a piece of meat and brought it up, and said, "General, let's eat something, but unfortunately the rules in our camp are strict, otherwise I will invite you to drink some wine." If you come in the evening, I can think of something to do. You see, no matter who is in the camp, there is no one who drinks. ”

"General Wang, you're welcome!" The cannibalistic mouth is short, and the mighty general speaks much more politely.

"We know that your camp has run out of food for a long time. So we came out of Shandan with a lot of food. We don't want to fight you, we want to wait until you're too hungry to move, and then we go into the city? While eating, Wang Yi said intentionally.

"Needless to say, you're also from one of our battalions. You can't watch the brothers starve to death, can you? General Wei Wu said.

"To tell the truth, if the Yaogang People's Army really attacks hard, none of you castles can hold it, and many people will die. You see them sweeping all the way, how can they stop it? Wang Yi whispered again, "If you can stop it, can the prince leave hundreds of thousands of us and leave by himself?" ”

Hearing this, the mighty general was a little angry again, "Then you shouldn't surrender to the Yaogang people!" ”

"I don't surrender, and none of my brethren have a way to live. The question is that the prince is not fighting, and we are all killed in battle, is it useful? Why? Wang Yi was also a little excited.

"But, but," the mighty general couldn't say, "did our general really say that he wanted us to wait for him?" ”

"Probably," Wang Yi said, "at that time, his intestines came out, and people were already confused, and at that time, it was also a sentence of east and west." However, he is sober, and the choice he faces is to starve to death in the city or surrender. Speaking of attacking, he himself led 5,000 cavalry to sneak attack, but it was all gone in less than an hour. Can you still fight? Wang Yi knew that he really told him that General Guoyi was going to surrender, but he didn't necessarily believe it.

After eating, General Weiwu followed Wang Yi to the tent where General Guoyi lived. Seeing that the conditions here were very good, General Guo Yi was still unconscious.

Wang Yi said: "We gave him the best medicine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to survive now." ”

"Is the general's intestines really coming out?" The mighty general did not believe that such an injury could still be lived. If their brother is injured on the battlefield, they will help to make up for it, so that he will suffer less. Because you can't live at all.

Wang Yi did not answer his question, and the mighty general felt that the question was a bit abrupt. Smiled sheepishly.

When the mighty general was about to go back, he asked with some embarrassment: "I don't know when the general will wake up, and we don't know what to do?" ”

"Hey!" Wang Yi said in a high voice, "We are also embarrassed, and he doesn't have a letter, if he says that it will fall, we will send you food quickly." If you don't send it, tens of thousands of you are hungry, and we are embarrassed. Our deputy commander repeatedly urged the military doctor. But as you can see, the general never woke up. ”
