Chapter 403: Ants Attack Elephants

It's a strange team with a huge number of cars. Dozens of strange carts, as well as a huge number of carriages, all covered with rainproof cloths, you can tell at a glance that they are full of supplies.

On the surface, this team is very much like a baggage team escorting supplies, but Zhang Xianzhong knows that the dozens of strange cars in front of him are the powerful chariots that Luo Rucai said, and they can be matched by non-human beings.

The only one who owns this kind of car is the Tiance Army.

Zhang Xianzhong asked with a gloomy face: "Could it be that the Tiance Army of Chaling came around to the rear of our army?" ”

Feng Shuangli said: "Great marshal, the last general has counted, this Tiance army has fifty-five chariots. According to Luo Shuai, the Tiance army coming from the north only had thirty chariots, so these people definitely did not come around from Chaling. ”

It's not from Chaling, then there is only one explanation, this is the Tiance army from Anqing.

Zhang Xianzhong's face was even more ugly: "Could it be that Luo Shuai and Chaotianxing have been defeated?" Even if you lose, you should send someone to deliver the letter! ”

Feng Shuangli reminded: "Great Marshal, the horse team sent to Gui Jiachong this morning has not returned, and the Tiance Army is already close at hand, will it ......?" ”

The corners of Zhang Xianzhong's eyes twitched, this situation was too weird, and it made him feel cold in his heart. Luo Rucai and Hui Dengxiang have 50,000 or 60,000 horses, and four or five thousand cavalry, even if they are defeated, someone should come back to deliver the letter.

He immediately decided: "Tell Kewang and Chuang Collapse Heaven to stop attacking Chaling, and use hungry soldiers to block the Tiance army in the direction of Chaling." Quickly mobilize all the cavalry, and mobilize 30,000 infantry from the fifth battalion of the left of the revolution, and eat the Tiance army coming from behind first. ”

Feng Shuangli arched his hand on the horse and said, "Order!" Then he went to give the order.

The Tiance army that came from the rear had fewer troops than Chaling's, so Zhang Xianzhong chose to make it easy first and then difficult.

In fact, the bigger reason is the fear in the heart, Luo Rucai and the others are still silent, could it be that they have been poisoned by this army? So Zhang Xianzhong was anxious to know the answer, and he was also anxious to kill this army, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well.

The Fifth Regiment from Anqing had already seen the army of the Liukou, but it did not stop its advance and was still gradually approaching.

There are more than 350,000 people here, and the lineup is super huge. The Fifth Regiment, together with Wang Yue's guard platoon and naval artillery, was only more than 1,700 troops. Together with the 2,000 escort coachmen of the horse convoy and the 3,000 Ming troops in the Nanjing camp, there were less than 7,000 people.

It's like a little ant attacking an elephant, it looks so asymmetrical.

Liu Bin, the eunuch of the Nanjing Jingying Supervision Army, who is known for his courage and courage to fight, knows better that in fact, the most capable of fighting is the 1,700 or so people of the Tiance Army.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" Liu Bin hit his horse and caught up with the armored command vehicle that had slowed down and shouted.

Wang Yue opened the observation port and asked, "Gonggong Liu, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Bin's face turned white, and he said on the horse: "Lord Wang, you can't move forward anymore." ”

This place was about three miles away from Zhang Xianzhong's army, Wang Yue nodded, and ordered Feng Yuanshan in the car: "The whole army stops advancing." ”

In fact, it's not just Liu Bin who is afraid, but those drivers are even more afraid, they are now unarmed, haven't they seen Hui Dengxiang and Li Wanqing's faces blue?

In fact, before approaching Zhang Xianzhong's army, the armored vehicles of the Tiance Army had gradually adjusted their formation and escorted the entire team.

As soon as the Tiance army stopped marching, it set up artillery positions.

Wang Yue got out of the armored command car and said to Liu Bin: "Let's start." ”

Liu Bin: What are they going to do? They're going to install barbed wire!

The Tiance Army does not need this in combat, even if it is facing an army of 350,000, it can come and go freely, and the barbed wire will restrict maneuvering.

The current Tiance Army is no longer the time of Wanping County regimental training, and the soldiers' use of weapons and armored vehicles is quite mature.

This barbed wire fence is actually a kind of equipment of the security forces, which is carried by the navy.

The firepower of the security forces is not comparable to that of the Tiance army, and in the case of a very large disparity in troops, the required firepower density cannot be reached per unit time, so it is necessary to use barbed wire to restrain the enemy's offensive speed and leave more time for themselves to project firepower.

This time, there were the Ming army from Nanjing's Jingying camp, as well as 2,000 coachmen who had just been turned from a rogue to a regular soldier. The Fifth Regiment has limited strength, and there may be places that cannot be taken care of, causing unnecessary casualties to them.

Especially those drivers who are not very emotionally stable, although they are relatively honest people. But once the scuffle starts, some people may be scared away, especially if they have a horse-drawn carriage, which is very convenient to run, so barbed wire is needed.

These barbed wire fences were brought over with the help of the Nanjing Jingying, and they did not occupy the carriages of the Tiance Army, which were requisitioned from Anqing City. He Liu Bin said that Shi Kefa also has to give face, after all, this is to fight the rogues, and he must be supported.

The installation of the barbed wire is particularly simple, first the outermost periphery is tiled twice, the horse-drawn convoy and the Ming army are enclosed, and then the barbed wire is fixed to the ground with a U-shaped iron, and the barbed wire has a supporting steel bar at intervals, and the U-shaped iron is used to fix it.

These two loops of barbed wire, laid flat on the ground, reached a width of almost ten meters, which were used to block the infantry. The soles of the shoes of people in this era were all cloth, usually not thick, especially the rogues, most of them were straw sandals, and the wire on the barbed wire could pierce the soles of their feet.

Then there was the barbed wire fence that was erected, also surrounded by two layers, which was to block the cavalry. The purpose of the two layers is to increase the density, and it has a certain anti-bow and arrow function.

In fact, it was difficult for bows and arrows to shoot them, because the carriage was all in front of the barbed wire, which not only increased the support of the barbed wire, but also had the effect of preventing bows and arrows, and the coachmen and Ming soldiers could hide behind the carriage. This carriage is all iron, bows and arrows cannot be shot, and the Ming army also has bows and arrows and firearms.

The barbed wire fence was enclosed on three sides, and the side facing the rogue army was handed over to the Tiance army. Well, the drivers have nowhere to run.

Liu Bin looked around the barbed wire, and he was very satisfied, this barbed wire is really a good thing! But I can't afford it, how much iron does it take!

At this distance, the walkie-talkies of the Tiance Army were already able to contact the southbound detachment located in Chaling.

Wang Hongwu reported that the Liukou had stopped advancing towards Chaling, and that the old Liukou battalion, which was located in the rear of the hungry soldiers, showed signs of large-scale mobilization.

In fact, Wang Yue also received a similar report from Feng Yuanshan, the commander of the Fifth Regiment, that Liukou was mobilizing his troops to the rear army, and the target should be the Fifth Regiment going north.

The drones of the two Tiance armies in the north and south are constantly rising into the air, and the movements of the rogues are clear at a glance.
