Picking up the binoculars and taking a closer look, it turned out that the ship was just a straw man model.

I wanted everyone to stop firing guns and arrows, but the other side ships were hung with wet quilts, and I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, although I knew the tricks of the volunteers, but I was helpless.

Seeing that there were many fewer artillery and arrows on the river, the volunteers on the other side cheered loudly one by one: Thank you General Liu, thank you General Liu.

In the Ming Dynasty, three or four percent of the children have gone to private school, which is much higher than the end of the Qing Dynasty, even those who did not go to private school, everyone has heard of Zhuge Liang, heard of grass boats borrowed arrows.

Now that they see themselves as Cao Bing, they are even more demoralized.

Zhang Wenxiu complained bitterly, seeing the ships rushing over, through the curtain I don't know if it was really full of soldiers, seeing a team rushing over, everyone knew that the plan was in the middle, but they could only release arrows to block the attack, and the pain can be imagined.

The sun set, the two pontoon bridges were getting closer and closer, seeing that there were only more than 100 meters, the situation on the battlefield became extremely tense again, Zhang Wenxiu personally transferred a team of 1,000 people in front, firing guns and arrows, while the soldiers of the volunteers hid behind the pontoon bridges and returned fire through birds and arrows.

The two sides came and went, and the battle situation entered the white heat again, especially the small boat that was still cruising on the river just now suddenly rushed over.

Standing on the hill on the opposite bank, Yang Lin held a monocular in both hands and closely watched the battle between the two sides.

In order to ensure stability, just as Napoleon placed a telescope on the shoulders of a soldier of the Escort Regiment, nervously watching the scene of the battle.

On the battlefield where hot and cold weapons alternate, the cruelty of the battlefield is far from being comparable to that of later generations, some people charge frantically with broadswords, while others hide behind and release cold guns and arrows.

Due to the close proximity, the wailing of soldiers on both sides was faintly seen, and sometimes even the severed arms flew out, and the whole scene was not tragic.

I put down the binoculars, rubbed my eyes with my hands to stabilize my inner turmoil, and then took a long breath of relief to eliminate the panic in my heart.

Feeling the mood fluctuations of the main general, Yin Chengqi came up and said: "General, the situation on the battlefield has been decided, although Zhang Wenxiu led the main force of the pro-army to kill, but the Jing Keqin regiment and Feng Youqing's regiment still firmly gained a foothold on the other side."

Killing chickens with cattle slaughtering knives, this time it is bitter for the dragon frame and their brothers. ”

Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, pointed to the battlefield and said: "It seems that there are many contradictions within the Great Western Army, everyone looks at the battlefield, except for Zhang Wenxiu's pro-army in red clothes, all of whom are fighting hard, the situation of other departments is different.

Some resisted at the front, while others kept firing arrows back and forth, not daring to make a head-on contact. ”

Everyone was quite nervous when they heard this, and Ye Dabin said, "My lord, do you suspect that the rogue is cheating?" ”

The head of the independent battalion shook his head Wang Zhibang and said: "How is it possible, if I am not mistaken, Zhang Xianzhong will rectify military discipline, kill dissident generals, and intensify the contradictions in the Great Western Army."

Ladies and gentlemen, two years ago, Zhang Xianzhong led an army of 200,000 into Sichuan, and even more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were recruited in Sichuan, and the strength of the army expanded dramatically, but there were many internal contradictions.

The most desperate is, of course, its four righteous sons, and those Shaanxi and Yu soldiers and horses who followed, but this is a minority, and the largest number is the Huguang soldiers and horses that came to the Huguang and the four guards.

In the past few years, there have been many complaints under the rule of Daxi, and the people's grievances have boiled, not to mention the soldiers of the Sichuan Guard, the Huguang soldiers, even those Shaanxi and Yu generals, are not as hard as in the past. ”

As soon as everyone heard the discussion, Yang Lin was worried that there was an atmosphere of underestimating the enemy in the army, so he hurriedly stopped: "Everyone, although the rogues are full of contradictions, and they are not as well-trained as the officers and soldiers, but as the saying goes, you must eat one bite at a time, and you must win the war one by one.

The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the ancients will not deceive. A few months ago, the Great Western Army was in a huge southern expedition, and it was too complacent, and in the end, wasn't it finally destroyed by Yang Zhan's fire?

Ladies and gentlemen, the battlefield is a matter of life and wealth, everyone must not be sloppy, even if the other party is a sick tiger, we must fight it as a tiger. ”

Although everyone didn't think so, when they saw Yang Lin say this, they nodded yes.

With Feng Youqing's 7th Regiment and Wang Zhibang's Independent Battalion successively put into the battlefield, the battlefield situation gradually reversed, and at this time, Yang Lin felt that the time was ripe for a counterattack, and immediately ordered the pro-army behind him to light the beacon.

In the past, warfare was mainly fought through signal flares, and in ancient times, through beacons, with the help of beacons, important information was conveyed.

This time it was the same, while Jing Keqin, Feng Youqing and others crossed the river through the pontoon bridge and raft, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Yang Lin arranged for Long Zhijiao to lead 300 dead soldiers to swim across the Tuojiang River ten miles downstream.

As mentioned earlier, after the Tuojiang River rushed out of the canyon, it turned a U-shaped bend in Huaikou Town, and the downstream canyon was deep and the water flow was turbulent, which was not suitable for large-scale river crossing operations, but a small part was still okay.

In order to cover the dragon frame crossing the river, when building the pontoon bridge, everyone deliberately pulled out some algae and some floating grass and went down the river with the river.

When the Great Western Army set fire to the boat, Long Zhijiao led three hundred good swimmers to cross the Tuojiang River, and then went deep into the rear of the opponent with the help of grass and trees.

At first, two points were set to kill, which were when the raft crossed the river, and if the attack did not go well, it would encounter a serious counterattack.

Or after the pontoon bridge is built, the other side counterattacks with all its strength to cross the Tuojiang River in order to protect the soldiers.

But the two points that were conceived were going well, and Yang Lin was now suddenly attacking to defeat the other party.

The beacon was lit, the dragon frame led the troops to kill, the opponent was caught off guard, and the various units defending behind were in chaos, and the volunteers were like a bamboo.

At the same time, the Volunteers made a more frontal offensive, in addition to Jing Keqin and Feng Youqing, Yang Bingyi also led the 5th Regiment to rush out along the pontoon bridge.

Although Zhang Wenxiu personally led his troops to resist, his generals could not restrain his troops at all, and some even bypassed Yunding Mountain and retreated to Jintang County behind.

Seeing that the Great Western Army was in a mess, Yin Chengqi came up and whispered a few times in his ear, Yang Lin was overjoyed, and immediately exchanged for Hong Zhenglong's whispering a few times.

Peng Jianxin nodded again and again when he heard this, and led his troops to leave.

Seeing the retreat of the Great Western Army, Yang Lin led his troops to advance step by step, and when the sun set, the forward arrived in Genting City, and immediately set up camp and settled.

Zhang Wenxiu was annoyed, and originally wanted to take advantage of this night to have a good rest, but in the dead of night, singing came from the hill in front of him.

There are special ones for the people in northern Shaanxi, telling everyone that their homes are now occupied by the barbarian Qing Tartars, and the villagers have become captives of the country.

There are targets for the people of Huguang, and everyone is coerced one by one, becoming thieves and slandering their ancestors.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, the shouts of killing in front of him were everywhere, and more than 1,000 volunteers occupied the hill in front of them, and now they were rushing over.

It turned out that yesterday the Great Western Army was defeated, and the whole army retreated into Genting City, and the surrounding fortifications could not be taken care of at all.

The volunteers took advantage of the situation to occupy the front mountain, and now they are killing in a mighty way, everyone relies on the small hill in front of them, and mounts the Franco machine guns in the distance, and one brigade after another is killing in a mighty way.

Zhang Wenxiu led his troops to meet the attack, but at this moment, the fire on the front mountain was bright, the smoke was billowing out, and shells fell from the sky and fell.

This is a scatter bullet, which is different from a solid bullet, which is composed of a lot of lead, and although it has a long range, it has a very wide range of fall, falling like rain and scattering flowers, and can kill and injure enemies several meters around.

Everyone was afraid, but the volunteers in front had already killed, and everyone had to deal with it calmly, under the cover of the red-coated cannons and Franco's machine guns in the back, these volunteers also carried tiger squat cannons to attack at a close distance.

In addition, the most annoying thing is that the earth-shattering thunder, when approaching the walled city, suddenly threw two of them, which made people unguarded.

However, the terrain of Genting City is extremely dangerous, although the firepower of the volunteers is strong, and the front-line soldiers are also quite brave, Zhang Wenxiu is confident that he can hold it for a few days, and when the reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult to break through Genting City.

Everyone you come and go, in front of the mountain to kill non-stop, so at noon, suddenly there was a shouting sound from the back mountain, Zhang Wenxiu fixed his eyes, I don't know when to kill more than 100 men, some of them are fireproof, and some are even more straight to the front village.

It turned out that last night, seeing that the Great Western Army was in chaos, Yang Lin ordered Hong Zhenglong, the former commander-in-chief of the Great Western Army, to lead more than 100 people to disguise themselves as the Great Western Army and blend into the city.

Now seeing that the battle between the two sides is in full swing, Hong Zhenglong led his troops to make a temporary attack, Zhang Wenxiu saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly led the army to withdraw, so it only took two days of effort, and the volunteers captured Genting City, which was used as a place for the army to eat food and grass, so rested for two days, and the whole army approached CD House.
