Chapter 577: Waiting for the Fighter

After Bai Guangen defeated the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry in Linqing, he led the train battalion south and reoccupied Liaocheng, the seat of Dongchang Mansion.

Bai Guangen counted the results of the battle and passed the good news to Sun Chuanting of Jinan Mansion.

Sun Chuanting received a report of defeat from Qingzhou Mansion before, and Gao Jie was defeated and captured in less than half a month, losing Qingzhou Mansion. He was having a headache, but he suddenly received good news from Bai Guangen, and he was overjoyed to see it, since the war began, he and the Xuanjia Army had won one victory and one defeat, and there was a draw.

Sun Chuanting immediately ordered that all the war horses, armor, firearms, etc. captured in this battle should be owned by Bai Guangen, and if they are captured in the future, they do not have to be handed over.

Bai Guangen continued to deploy the layout of resisting the invasion of the Xuanjia Army in Liaocheng, dividing the 20,000 train battalion into two, 12,000 stationed in Liaocheng, and then ordering his son Bai Liangbi to lead the 8,000 train battalion to be stationed in Pingshanwei, fighting each other. As long as the Xuanjia army attacks any point, the other side can rush to the aid in time.

Ten days later, Su Hongyu and Zhao Quanzhong led 20,000 Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to Liaocheng. According to the report of the spies, Bai Guangen also stationed a large number of train battalions in Pingshanwei, and fought with the Liaocheng guards.

Su Hongyu immediately decided not to continue to march into Liaocheng, and fell into the unfavorable place of being attacked by two sides. Instead, he moved to Pingshanwei and set up camp to prepare for the next move.

The two sides confronted each other under Liaocheng for half a month, and for half a month, it was rainy for days, Su Hongyu was not in a hurry to attack Pingshanwei, so she was stationed under Pingshanwei, and it seemed that the defenders of Pingshanwei were wasting their days.

The time came to August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rain finally stopped gradually, the sky cleared, and the sun was shining.

The sergeants at the front reported the military situation, and the sergeants of Pingshan Wei also took advantage of the rare sunny day to go out of the city to dig trenches in front of the acropolis and arrange the fortifications on the front line, with at least 5,000 people.

When the sky cleared, the sergeant of Pingshan Wei went out of the city to dig trenches and set up defenses, which was the opportunity for a surprise attack, and Zhao Quanzhong, who received the military information, hurriedly went to inform Su Hongyu that she immediately sent the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to intercept the train battalion that was digging trenches and deploying defenses, and she would definitely be able to win a small victory.

Su Hongyu was reviewing the military newspaper that came from nowhere, and after listening to Zhao Quanzhong's report, she said without raising her head, "Bai Guangen wants to dig a trench, that's very good!" ”

Zhao Quanzhong thought that she had agreed to send troops to attack, and hurriedly said, "Commander Su, I will immediately lead the whole army to attack and annihilate the Ming army that went out of the city this time." ”

Su Hongyu looked up at him and said, "Commander Zhao, this is Bai Guangen's plan to lure the snake out of the hole, if our army attacks, it will be ambushed." ”

Zhao Quanzhong saw that she was looking ahead and missing the opportunity, and said indignantly, "Then Commander Su said yes, what is good?" We're just going to do nothing and keep doing this?! ”

Su Hongyu put the military report, looked at Zhao Quanzhong, who was eager to fight, and counted on Zhao Quanzhong, who had made meritorious contributions, and said unhurriedly, "Of course you have to do things, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the regent and the commander sent 40,000 mooncakes from the rear, and Zhao led you to distribute them to the sergeants, spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together, and then find an opportunity to break the enemy." I am a woman, so it is inconvenient for me to come forward in the military camp, and everything is troublesome to Commander Zhao. ”

Zhao Quanzhong was completely speechless about the thoughts of a woman like her, but the military order could not be violated, so he could only answer honestly and go down to distribute moon cakes to the whole army.

Five days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the 5,000 sergeants of Pingshanwei had dug trenches and front-line fortifications and returned to the city to rest.

This trench is one zhang deep and one zhang wide, and it goes around Pingshanwei, which is just enough to restrict the war horses of the Xuanjia Iron Horse from crossing the trench.

The distance of the trenches was exactly within the range of the artillery shelling on the ramparts. Before the Xuanjia Iron rode to the trench, he had to withstand the bombardment to fill the trench before he could attack the Pingshan Guard.

The defenders of the Pingshan Guard are determined to hold the city and fight a war of attrition with the Xuanjia army.

In the early morning of this day, Su Hongyu suddenly asked people to go to Zhao Quanzhong, saying that there was an urgent military situation to discuss.

Zhao Quanzhong was extremely angry when he was instructed by a woman, but he was guilty and couldn't afford to say hard words, so he could only go to the barracks helplessly to listen to Su Hongyu's chatter.

Su Hongyu saw the indignation on Zhao Quanzhong's face, and said with a slight smile, "Commander Zhao, the time has come for meritorious service, you go and order 10,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry to prepare for battle." ”

Zhao Quanzhong saw that she seemed to want to attack Pingshanwei, and said in amazement, "Commander Su, when Pingshanwei was digging a trench before, you didn't attack. Now that the trench has been dug, what else is there to attack. The cavalry could not cross the trench, and even if they crossed, if the battle ahead was unfavorable, they would not be able to retreat safely, and it would be too risky to attack at this time. ”

Su Hongyu said in a deep voice, "When will I ask the Xuanjia Iron Horse to storm the trench?" I ordered you to lead the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry to ambush on the road from Pingshanwei to Liaocheng, and when I broke through Pingshanwei, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry led by Zhao could only annihilate the defeated soldiers who fled to Liaocheng. ”

She got up excitedly and said, "Before, I was still worried about how to completely annihilate the defenders of the Pingshan Guard, this trench dug by Bai Guangen is a cage that traps the defenders, God really helps me!" ”

Zhao Quanzhong was stunned and asked, "The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has all gone to ambush, who will attack Pingshanwei?" How could there be a defeated army fleeing to Liaocheng?! ”

Su Hongyu smiled faintly and said, "Commander Zhao, you just lead the army to ambush and wait for the meritorious service, and you don't need to ask more about the rest." Remember, you must arrive at the ambush site before sunset, there is no moon tonight, and you can't see anything. ”

Zhao Quanzhong couldn't see what she was crazy about, since Jing Jie and she had made a military order, when the time came, the battlefield would not be won, and the direct military law would ask for the crime, so he gave up his orders and went to take the order.

At night, a full moon is obscured by dark clouds, and the vast land is so dark that it is almost impossible to see.

Zhao Quanzhong had already led the whole army to ambush, and there were only 1,000 guards left in the camp, as well as a 500 drone team.

Su Hongyu stood in front of the camp, looking at the bright fire on the Pingshan Guardhouse from afar, and the defenders were obviously still watching every move of the Xuanjia military camp with full attention.

Su Hongyu ordered a thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen to abandon their horses, and together with the sergeants of the three hundred drone teams, they secretly sneaked towards Pingshanwei with a black cloth and dim fluorescent lights.

The crowd sneaked up to the fortification in front of the trench, and just as far as the sight of the defenders on the city wall could see, the defenders on the wall saw it very clearly, and stopped moving forward.

Without further ado, Su Hongyu immediately ordered the drone team to work in groups of three, one to operate, one to command with a lookout scope, and one to be responsible for loading ammunition and preparing for a sneak attack.

She brought a total of 100 drones and 600 white phosphorus bombs on this trip, which was also the first time that white phosphorus bombs were used on the actual battlefield.

The reason why she could judge that tonight was the best time to sneak up was because of the military reports coming from the rear. Fang Yuan and Jing Jie had already brought ten elites who were proficient in Chinese and Western astronomy from Jiangnan University, and made an assessment of the climate in Yanzhou and Dongchang on these days. After today and tomorrow, it may be rainy for days.

Therefore, Su Hongyu seized this last opportunity to carry out a sneak attack, otherwise after these two days, she would have to wait for another ten days and eight days.

Two quarters of an hour later, the drone team finished loading, and just waited for Su Hongyu to give an order, and then they could take off and attack.

Su Hongyu looked at the defenders on the city wall with a radio telescope and was changing guards, and the time for a sneak attack had finally arrived. She immediately ordered, and a hundred drone fighters took off in unison, carrying a hundred powerful white phosphorus bombs, and flew towards Pingshanwei in the night.

"Boom, boom!"

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, a hundred drones easily crossed the defenses of the city wall and dropped the first batch of 100 white phosphorus bombs on Pingshan Weili.

The entire Hirayama Guard was plunged into flames.
