Chapter 539: Night Attack Destroys the Enemy
Tian Bao said again and again: "It's weird, it's weird." Why is the artillery of the Jeju Army so powerful, even the artillery of the imperial court is like this. And that giant crossbow, which was fired too fast. ”
Qiao Daoqing was also depressed, and said: "What is the artillery of the imperial court, it is just a good thing, it is okay to use it as a high-letter cannon, and it is far worse than the Jeju army to really go into battle." As for their crossbow arrows, it was indeed strange, and we will have to investigate it carefully when we get back. It seems that we will not spend much effort to build catapults in the future, and we will turn to the study of artillery. ”
Immediately, Qiao Daoqing wrote to Tian Hu, and Tian Bao invited the generals to study how to deal with the current form, and they didn't think of any good way to come to the study, and the matter was very troublesome. Some generals proposed to send 10,000 soldiers to bypass and attack from the east, but this method was quickly denied, not to mention the long way to bypass and would be attacked from both sides by the Hebei army, you must know that now the Hebei army and the Jeju army have common interests.
Let's say that in Xiguan, Jingcheng County, Bian Xiang came over to take over the battle and said to Luda: "Although the current situation is stable, the crisis has not been resolved, Qiao Daoqing is scheming, and there are many brave generals in his army, we still need to guard against it day and night." ”
Luda said: "It's wrapped up in the Sprinkle family, and they are all on patrol duty at night, ten patrols are shuttled back and forth with military dogs, and the Sprinkle family and Shan Shiqi are also on duty in turn." ”
"Okay, you can take charge of the Xiguan city wall, as for the mountain, it will be handed over to the mountain camp, and I have to go back to the east, there is no danger to defend in the east, and it is also very dangerous." Bian Xiang said.
In this way, Tian Bao and Qiao Daoqing couldn't fight, and they didn't want to retreat, so it lasted for three days. In the evening of that day, a company commander was patrolling the eastern wall, and he saw a group of five heralds coming from the east, holding a letter from the military headquarters, saying that the 1,500 vanguard troops led by Yang Zhi and Suo Chao would arrive soon, and please be prepared to greet them.
The company commander didn't dare to slack off, the vanguard army arrived, and the army was not far away, so he hurriedly reported it to Bian Xiang.
Bian Xiang quickly came over and called the herald and said, "You go back and tell Yang and Suo, the two pioneers, don't rush into the customs first, and come back when it gets dark, I have my own intentions." ”
"Yes." The herald went back to Yang Zhi and Suo Chao to say, Suo Chao said: "This battalion commander Bian doesn't know what moths there are. ”
Yang Zhidao: "It's not long before it gets dark now, rest first, and then move forward after dark." ”
Immediately, Yang Zhi ordered the soldiers to rest and eat, and waited for a few hours, and then ordered the team to enter the mountain when it was completely dark. Bian Xiang personally greeted him at the mountain pass and welcomed the vanguard army in.
Bian Xiang asked, "How far is the army from here?" ”
"Less than one hundred and fifty miles, arriving in two days at normal speed." Yang Zhi said.
Bian Xiang said: "The Tian Leopard Army is already less than 40,000, and the morale of the soldiers who have attacked repeatedly is extremely low, and they can be completely defeated with only one blow with all their might, I want to give them a battalion tonight." ”
Yang Zhi said: "How to bloom in the camp? Let's talk about tactics. ”
Bian Xiang said: "Tian Leopard has many soldiers, and the area where he is stationed is also large. I intend to take fifteen hundred cavalry from your division and one thousand cavalry from Ruda's division as the front army, and I will lead four thousand infantry to follow. The brothers Shan Shiqi, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao guarded the city wall. This battle will definitely be able to defeat the remnants of Tian Bao and Qiao Daoqing, and when our army arrives, we can directly march out of Guanxi and directly approach Taiyuan. ”
Yang Zhidao: "It seems risky to attack more than 30,000 troops with more than 7,000 troops, but it is actually feasible, after all, most of the soldiers of the Tianbao Department are newcomers, and it is easy to bomb the camp when they encounter a night attack due to insufficient training, I agree with this sneak attack, let's discuss the details." ”
Next to him, Luda was overjoyed and said: "The Sprinkle family knows that Brother Yang Zhi is a guts, and we will definitely be able to kill them together." ”
Suo Chao said: "Don't forget that there is me, my big axe is not a vegetarian." ”
Luda smiled: "Haha, how can you forget Brother Suo Chao." ”
Bian Xiang immediately presided over the meeting, and everyone studied the map for a long time. The time was not chosen in the middle of the night, because Qiao Daoqing was very cautious, there were many patrols in the middle of the night, and the time of the attack was chosen at dawn.
At about four o'clock in the morning, there was still an hour before dawn, the large battalion of the Tian Leopard Army, the soldiers on duty also dozed off, and the soldiers on duty began to doze off, at this time, several black shadows quickly lurked over, holding sharp sabers in their hands, poof, the cold military thorn pierced into the chest of the sentry, covered his mouth and slowly put it down, solved more than a dozen sentries, the black shadow pulled away the horse and took the torch and shook it back a few times.
"Kill." Not far away, the infantry lurking in the distance swarmed and rushed towards them with fire and thunder shells. Behind were more than 2,000 cavalry led by Luda, Yang Zhi, and Suo Chao.
Originally, the tactic was to make a cavalry assault, rush through the camp tent in one go, and then Bian Xiang led the infantry to follow. However, after lurking over, I found that the problem was discovered, although the vigilance of Tian Bao's military camp was not as high as a few days ago, but the fence was very strong, and there were pitfalls and horses outside. Although the cavalry is powerful, there is no way to trap the pit and reject the horse, and the storming of the camp gate is bound to cause unnecessary casualties, so Bian Xiang immediately decided to change to the infantry to come first, and the method of sneak attack and infiltration lurked in, opened the rejection of the horse first, and destroyed the trap.
Bian Xiang led his troops in, and the primary goal was not to kill or injure the enemy, but to set fire everywhere, so the soldiers took more torches with fierce fire oil, and threw fire bombs and torches towards the tent, and the fire was blazing, burning in all directions. Followed by the cavalry led by Luda, Yang Zhi, and Suo Chao came in. The purpose of the cavalry charge was not to set fire, but to storm the ranks where the enemy might be assembled. The cavalrymen saw where it was possible to assemble and rushed over with their troops.
The camp of the leopards was completely chaotic, the incident happened suddenly, coupled with the sound of Jeju military thunder and bombs, and the fierce fire and oil fire were strong, and hundreds of tents were burned in ten minutes. There were shouts of killing.
Qiao Daoqing reacted the fastest, he was reading a book in the barracks when he heard the shouting of killing from the Chinese army, and he was studying the relevant materials of artillery. Hearing the situation outside, he immediately put on his clothes and took a waist knife and came out, and when he saw that someone was stealing the camp, he calmly began to assemble his troops. There were 3,000 people in Qiao Daoqing's team directly under him, and these 3,000 people all slept in three shifts, so they quickly assembled 1,000 infantry. Qiao Daoqing's rapid assembly also attracted the attention of a Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi brought seven or eight hundred cavalry archers, and when he saw someone gathering more than a thousand soldiers, he immediately shouted: "Kill it." ”
The cavalry rushed forward, and the horses did not reach the bow and arrows first. In the night, Yang Zhi saw a man in a Taoist robe commanding there, and he couldn't figure out if it was a senior officer of the enemy, so he passed by with a wolf's tooth arrow.
