That night, after Yang Xuan climbed into the watchtower car to observe the enemy situation again, he got down from the watchtower car, shook his head and said: "Zhang Xianzhong is a battlefield general, when you can see our intentions, that is, to take advantage of the other party's shortage of food and grass, relying on strong fortifications, to drag it to the danger of having enough food and food." Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In the past few days, the Great Western Army has only sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the situation on the battlefield has reached a stalemate, which seems insignificant. ”

When Qian Bangxin heard this, he frowned and said, "My lord, what kind of conspiracy do you think Zhang Xianzhong is playing?" ”

Yang Xuan was shocked, rushed to the sand table in front, looked at it, shook his head and said, "Impossible, impossible, how is this possible?" ”

Pan Mengke, an intelligence staff officer, asked: "My lord, tell me, what's impossible?" ”

Pointing to the map, Yang Xuan said with a smile: "After hearing that our army was approaching Chengdu City, Lord Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, took advantage of the weakness to attack Xuzhou Mansion ten days ago, Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, captured Neijiang, and the deputy generals Yang Zhan and Cao Xun occupied Jiading Mansion and Yajiang respectively, Zhang Xianzhong can be said to be embattled.

Even if Zhang Xianzhong led his troops out of Longquanyi, made a detour to the back of our army, and cut off our army's grain and grass, but our army's front-line grain and grass are enough for a month's needs, plus the natural danger of Genting City, even if it is surrounded, there is not much danger."

Following Yang Xuan's wooden stick, everyone looked carefully, and Yang Wei, who was next to him for a long time, arched his hand and said: "My lord, if the expectation is good, this Zhang Xianzhong will definitely send troops out of Longquan Post to attack our army's grain road." ”

Yang Xuan was shocked, the wooden stick almost took off his hand, looked at Yang Wei and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Yang Wei thought for a while and replied: "My lord, Zhang Xianzhong is good at using sneak attacks in battle, and this is not the first time that he has used troops like this.

This Zhang Xianzhong is quite conceited, and now he is holding on to the adults with more than 100,000 people, which undoubtedly tells the world that he was defeated by our army.

Now that our army's frontal fortifications are complete, Zhang Xianzhong led an army of 100,000 to confront our army, and he undoubtedly paid attention to it in secret, and was ready to deal a fatal blow to our army. ”

Yang Xuan nodded, everyone was shocked, and they wiped the beads of sweat on their faces one by one, and Qian Bangqi even asked, did the army retreat?

At this moment, Pan Mengke, an intelligence staff officer, hurriedly came, claiming that some scouts had seen the dust flying 30 miles this morning, and it was obvious that there had been a large-scale troop transfer in the Great Western Army today.

When everyone heard this, they came out one after another to hug their fists and ask for battle.

Yang Xuan was not so flustered, and pointed to the map: "Even if Zhang Xianzhong leads his troops to detour to Jintang Gorge through Longquanyi, it will take more than three hundred miles, while Guo Chonglie's troops are only four or five miles away from Jintang Gorge on Genting City, and the main force of our army is only twenty miles away from Jintang Gorge.

Since our army has detected the possible movements of the Great Western Army, it can calmly deploy its defenses and thwart its conspiracy. ”

When everyone heard Yang Xuan say this, they were a little relieved.

Yang Xuan immediately sent a messenger to order Guo Chonglie to lead the 3rd Regiment to deploy along the Tuojiang River overnight, and ordered the Ma Chao Cavalry Regiment and Cao Zhang's Guard Regiment to set off overnight to reinforce them.

In addition, it is a-for-tat to send troops and horses to attack the enemy camp at night.

In the past 10 days or so, although various regiments and battalions have sent troops and horses from time to time to sneak out of the fortifications to attack the enemy camp, it can be said that such a large-scale night attack has spared no expense.

At the end of the day, Wang Shuji led his troops out of the camp quietly, and under the leadership of Pan Mengke, he walked a full twenty-mile mountain road, and came to the back of the enemy camp at the end of the day.

Pan Mengke is a native of Jintang County, and as a warden, he is very familiar with the surrounding terrain, so he specially picked such an inaccessible path for Wang Shuji.

According to the results of the battle a few days ago, this should be a grain and grass camp of the Great Western Army, under the command of Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, and the defense cannot be as tight as that of the forward combat troops.

The soldiers were eating dry food, and Wang Shuji was picking up a monocular to carefully look at the big tent of the loyal and righteous army ten miles away.

There are five watchtower cars in front of the big tent, and the number of lanterns is hung to guide the departments, and now the big tent of the Chinese army is pitch black, that is, there is no signal to attack.

After half a pillar of incense, suddenly the observer next to him pointed to a row of lights burning in the distance, densely rising into the air, illuminating half of the sky.

Wang Shu was overjoyed, and everyone lit torches and shouted to kill him.

It's hot every day in June, and many people can't sleep at all in the first half of the night.

The sky is like day, when attacking the camp, the loyal and righteous army put a Kong Ming lantern in the air, and saw so many Kong Ming lanterns in the sky at once, suddenly seeing this situation, many people panicked, and one by one did not know what to do.

Even if they were fighting, they only ate two meals a day, and their mental and physical health was quite poor.

In addition, the assault position of the Loyal and Righteous Army is not the forward position of heavy defense, but a heavy battalion of grain and grass for more than ten miles in the rear, and there is not much defense at all.

Wang Shuji led a battalion to rush to the front, and in front of it, there were several squads, they dressed up as the Great Western Army, holding torches, carrying cans of tung oil, and rows of firecrackers to take advantage of the chaos to mingle in.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he threw a jar of tung oil on the enemy's tent, grain and grass baggage, and then set it on fire, causing the other party to panic.

Or take advantage of people's unpreparedness to throw rows of firecrackers into it, the sound of firecrackers exploding is like the sound of firecrackers, and the dense sound of firecrackers increases the panic of the other party.

And later, it was the main force led by Wang Shuji, everyone came and went like the wind, did not stop at all, and killed from behind, setting fire on one side and firing guns on the other, killing the soldiers and horses who had just woken up from their sleep and were gathering in a panic.

Due to the attack from the rear, the other party was defenseless at all, and there was a mess everywhere, and after seeing Wang Shuji and others kill from behind, everyone was even more panicked, and everyone fled to the south in pairs, which caused even more panic.

Hearing that the soldiers and horses of the headquarters were attacked, Feng Shuangli, the governor of the rear army, got up from a big house in a panic, and the army garrison at this time Feng Shuangli requisitioned the house owner's house, and was drinking and drying at night, and he had just fallen asleep and encountered this kind of thing, and his panic can be imagined.

Crawled out of the house, looked back, the grain and grass behind him fell into a sea of fire, not to mention the lack of food in the Great Western Army, even if there is no shortage of food, this grain and grass is also the root of life.

It is important to protect the grain and grass, Feng Shuangli shouted, leading a team of people to extinguish the fire and rescue the grain and grass, but now it is June, the weather is dry and dry, and it is very easy to catch fire, so it is even more difficult to extinguish the fire.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Shuji led his troops to easily pass through the grain and grass camp of the Great Western Army and kill them from behind.

At the same time that Wang Shuji led his troops to attack Feng Shuangli's heavy camp, through the guidance of the lanterns on the watchtower car in front of the big tent, all regiments and battalions on the front line also launched attacks, and the artillery regiment also fired at the opponent's barracks.

At the risk of exploding, everyone fired one flowering bomb after another.

As mentioned earlier, there were three kinds of shells in the Ming Dynasty, one was live ammunition, and the projectile was mainly an iron ball, which shot far but had limited lethality.

The second type is the scattered bullet, the projectile is iron sand, driven by fire to the air, and then like a rain scattered on the ground up to several meters, although the momentum is very large, but the lethality is not strong, and the range is less than half of the solid bullet.

The third type is the flowering shell, which is the prototype of our modern artillery shell, the gunpowder is contained in an iron ball, which ignites when fired, and explodes after landing.

However, due to the problem of the lead, this type of shell is generally very easy to explode, and the firing is also very cumbersome, and the general soldiers are reluctant to fire

This artillery regiment has long been equipped with this kind of flowering shells, this is the first large-scale consumption, an artillery regiment has 30 2 kg guns, at the time of firing, someone stands on the watchtower car to guide, with a horn to report the firing position, firing distance, firing results.

Now there was a sudden attack, and the flowering shells fell into the enemy line one after another, although many missed, but the sound of explosions one after another suppressed the shouts of killing on the front line.

One by one, the fireballs fell into the enemy formation and exploded, and then ignited huge fireballs, the power of which can be imagined.

Seeing that the Great Western Army was shot one after another, the morale of the loyal and righteous army was greatly boosted, and one by one they shouted and rushed into the enemy formation under the leadership of the captain.

On the other hand, the various units of the Great Western Army were suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, and everyone was in a mess, especially the soldiers and horses of the Sichuan People's Guard, which were not only underfed in the past, but also discriminated against.

After Zhang Xianzhong handed over the heavy responsibility of staying behind to himself, Zhang Kewang was worried and strictly ordered all departments to strengthen their defense, but who expected that the loyal and righteous army would actually detour to the back to launch a night attack, plus Kong Ming lanterns were everywhere in the sky, the entire military camp was like daylight, and the artillery on the opponent's position was extremely fierce.

The worst thing is the rear army camp, just after the battle, the entire rear army camp fell into a sea of fire, that can keep the military rations of the Great Western Army for several days, and it is the stability of the Great Western Army, seeing that Feng Shuangli's rear army was attacked and disturbed, Zhang Kewang ignored the crisis ahead, and urgently ordered the governor Guan Youcai to lead his troops to reinforcements.

Just sent soldiers and horses to reinforce the rear army, Wang Shangli, the governor of the Chinese army bordering it, claimed that he was attacked by the loyal and righteous army, and asked for reinforcements.

Now that the Loyal and Righteous Army has launched a full-scale counterattack, bonfires are burning everywhere, explosions are coming one after another, and they are suddenly attacked, and the whole army of the Great Western Army is quite panicked, how can it be possible to send reinforcements in such a situation?
