Chapter 70: The Siege of Suzhou (3)

On the opposite side of Yang Wu, Wang Wencai's response can only be said to be decent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He asked the three battalions to move closer to each other, concentrate their forces on defense, and take the remaining battalion back as a reserve, thinking that he would wait for the Huainan soldiers to be exhausted before launching a counterattack.

"Damn, I really made a mistake today, I knew that I would have defended the city directly. Where is this Yang Wu despising me, it is clear that I despise Yang Wu; If I defend the city in peace, the enemy army may not be able to help me, even if I add 4,000 people from Guojia Village; No matter how bad it is, if you abandon the city and run away, the other party may not be able to catch up. ”

He knew that since ancient times, if the ambush warfare was discovered, the most dangerous situation would occur, such as he was now forced to resist the opponent's superior forces with inferior forces without preparation. Fortunately, the other side did not completely press up, but left a battalion as a reserve; But even so, the other party still caused him a lot of pressure and made him curse in his heart.

However, there has never been a regret medicine in the world, and at this time, Wang Liangcai can only prepare for war.

"The king treats you well every day, and now is the time for you to serve the king! After a while, if someone beheads and makes meritorious service, when they return to the city, they will be rewarded with thirty yuan for each head, and they will be promoted according to their merits, and they will never break their promises. ”

"But if someone escapes, no matter who it is, Ben will not be spared!"

"Crossbowmen, pay attention, wait for the enemy to enter fifty paces before shooting! Retreat immediately after a round of launches, without hesitation! ”

In field warfare, the role of the crossbowman is limited, and he can only shoot fifty paces, and it is difficult to shoot the target at fifty paces, and within fifty paces, if it is not a city wall or high ground, the enemy generally only has the time to shoot an arrow.

"Attention sword players, you guys will come forward to cover the crossbowmen in a moment!"

……

There is no passion in Yang Wu's imagination, nor is there any enthusiasm in his imagination. As soon as the armies of both sides approached, they quickly fought each other.

"Kill!" A high-pitched roar came from the distance, shaking the four fields.

With the wielding of knives and guns in the hands of soldiers on both sides, blood flew for a while, and people continued to fall down. The sound of cries, screams, and the muffled sound of a human being pierced by a spear filled the eardrums of everyone on the battlefield.

After a short engagement, the soldiers on both sides showed a burst of panic and fear, but the Huainan side had been trained for a long time and quickly calmed down under the leadership of the captain and the captain; On the contrary, the two Zhejiang soldiers were still a little flustered, they went out of the city today to ambush the opponent but were discovered, and they were forced to engage the superior enemy army at this time, and their morale was naturally not high.

Yang Wu retracted his mind, his face was not happy or sad, his expression was indifferent, and he looked at the battlefield in the distance, while Cheng Xun was guarding the left and right with his guards, standing with a knife, and at the same time paying attention to the battle situation ahead.

Strictly speaking, the individual combat effectiveness of the Huainan soldiers far exceeded that of the two Zhejiang soldiers, not to mention that Yang Wu's soldiers had undergone strict training, and the number of soldiers also exceeded the other party, so this battle quickly gained the upper hand, and the number of people who fell in the battle was much less than that of the other party.

"Sons, kill with me!" Wang Liangcai shouted hard, he saw that the three battalions in front of him were quickly losing the upper hand under the attack of the other party, and hurriedly took the remaining battalion to go up to reinforce him. Under his leadership, the two Zhejiang soldiers stabilized their positions slightly, but they were still at a disadvantage.

On the other side, Fan Yu hurriedly reported, "Childe, the scout has carefully investigated just now, and there are no ambushes in the forest." ”

"No?" Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, "The terrain around here is flat, and there is no way to hide ambushes." If there are no enemy troops in the forest, it means that the enemy army has been fully engaged in the battlefield. ”

Seeing that the other party had fallen behind, Yang Wu was secretly happy, "When the outflanking battalion is also surrounded, this battle can basically be settled." ”

"Tian Neng, if the enemy army is defeated, you will immediately launch a pursuit. But be sure to remember not to enter the woods. He immediately ordered Tian Neng, who was in charge of the horse team.

The role of cavalry in the woods is very small, which Yang Wu naturally knows, not to mention whether there are enemy ambushes in the woods.

After a while, the situation on the battlefield became completely clear, and as the outflanked battalion surrounded it, the battalion where the enemy was flanked gradually became confused.

"Here's your chance!" Yang Wu immediately made a decision, pointed to the captain of the horse team of the battalion where the other party was in chaos, and ordered, "Tian Neng, attack immediately and attack there!" ”

"Yes!" Tian Neng reacted quickly, and he waved his hand, "Sons, charge with me!" ”

Yang Wu's cavalry quickly attacked the other side with the long neighing of the horses. Although they were only fifty men, they formed a tight formation like an iron wall, and their charging momentum was very terrifying, and as soon as they entered the enemy array, they brought a rain of blood splashing.

Under such a charge, the enemy forces quickly wavered, and many soldiers turned and fled.

"Resist, hold on!"

At this time, Wang Liangcai not only personally went into battle to kill the enemy, but also slashed those fleeing soldiers with a knife again and again, but he still couldn't save the defeat, and more and more soldiers fled.

"General, let's run away! If you don't run away, it's too late! His guards saw that the Huainan horse team was dispatched, and hurriedly persuaded him.

Looking at the enemy cavalry that came suddenly on the battlefield, there were still fewer and fewer people on his side resisting, while there were more and more Huainan soldiers around, Wang Liangcai also knew that the general trend had gone, he did not hesitate much, and quickly fled from the battlefield under the escort of the guards.

The defeat was like a mountain, and at this time, even if Gu Quanwu came, there was no way to recover it. Although Wang Liangcai was loyal to Qian Biao, he had no intention of dying for him.

With his escape, the Changshu garrison collapsed further.

"Surrender or die!"

As the slogans of the Huainan Army resounded on the battlefield, many enemy soldiers simply did not flee, but knelt down and surrendered, but more enemy troops chose to flee, so one frontal battle after another turned into a pursuit battle.

However, except for Wang Liangcai and the guards around him who were able to escape on horseback, the other soldiers were basically captured, which is the difference between cavalry and no cavalry.

Although Yang Wu also defeated the enemy army last time, most of the enemy fled; This time, they were basically left behind.

"Okay, now send someone to inform General Qin and ask him to rush to the county seat!" After the overall situation was decided, Yang Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief. From beginning to end, the battalion of 500 men he held in his hands was not sent out, this was his reserve, a killer weapon to prevent the worst.

And the result of this battle also made him satisfied. With a slight advantage in numbers, the whole battle was firmly controlled on their own side and did not give the other side any chance.

Moreover, during the battle just now, Yang Wu also found that although his soldiers were also very frightened, they quickly calmed down and maintained their formation, and none of them escaped. This made Yang Wu feel heartfelt joy.

"At least there aren't many problems with military discipline." He believed that as long as discipline was strict, the combat effectiveness of the army would not be weak.

"Childe, I'm so happy!" At this time, Fan Sicong came over to report the results of the battle, "Our army only killed more than 60 soldiers and more than 200 wounded, while the enemy has lost more than 200 dead and more than 400 wounded, and the rest of the prisoners are even more than 1,000. ”

"Good!" Yang Wu was equally happy in his heart, "After a short rest, continue to move forward, and strive to win Changshu tonight!" ”
