"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Rows and rows of shells kept shooting, except for the first use of iron shells, the next few times were replaced with stone shells, the Chu army was like an unrestrained nouveau riche, these cheap stone shells were constantly fired, and they had the courage to buy soy milk and drink a bowl of poured bowls.

When Mulima was attacked for the first time, it was on the flat Qinhuai River embankment, and there had been a battle on the mountain in advance, and the Qing army had already been vigilant, so after being bombarded, they quickly recovered from the chaos, divided their troops to avoid forward and backward, and withdrew from the range of artillery fire, and the casualties were not too large.

However, on this narrow mountain road, the unprepared Qing troops blocked each other, and under the shelling fell into a strict chaos, the casualties of cannibalism were even greater, and it was difficult for the brigade to withdraw to safety for a while.

It is difficult to withdraw the brigade, and important people still have privileges. After the first round of shelling, Mulima was escorted by several Qing army generals, squeezed through the layers of Qing soldiers, and retreated to a relatively safe place.

Mulima felt ashamed and ashamed to face these loyal subordinates, and he especially couldn't accept that as a battle-hardened general, he could trip over the same stone twice.

If the first shelling was a sudden accident, the second time he should have taken precautions, he deliberately detoured several miles to the north of Fangshan, just to avoid the strange artillery of the Chu army...... However, the artillery of the Chu army chased after it again, and the speed was so fast. It was completely unexpected.

"Could it be that the southern thief had expected it in advance. I'll get guò from here, and I deliberately transferred a dozen cannons? Mulima muttered subconsciously. It shouldn't be. The chief general of the Chu army is not an immortal who can pinch and calculate, these dozen cannons were finally transported to the top of the mountain, and they should join the first artillery bombardment to maximize the results of the battle.

A green battalion general next to him moved his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally swallowed back.

The shelling continues. The Qing army still did not restore order, blocked each other, and the phenomenon of cannibalism and stampede did not improve, and the Qing army retreated with difficulty to both sides, but there were still more than 1,000 people within the range of the shelling. Several Qing generals went up to command, shouting desperately, but they were muffled by the rumbling cannons and all kinds of noise, and the effect was not great.

Mulima was still thinking about it, ignoring the little things. Defeat is not terrible. The terrible thing is that I don't know the reason for the defeat, why was it shelled by the Chu army again? This problem must be clarified, otherwise, the entire plan to encircle Fang Mountain cannot be continued.

"How many cannons are there in the Southern Thieves? Front. Will there be one ahead? The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, and he muttered to himself again.

The general of the green battalion next to him finally couldn't help it, and said with a thousand calls: "Lord Qiqi Zhangjing." If our army goes any further, there is a good chance that it will be shelled by the southern bandits. As long as it's a little closer to the mountain, I'm afraid it's inevitable. ”

"Why?" Mulima turned his head. Stared at him with a fierce gaze.

This green battalion general is named Lu Dongqiu, who is Ma Guozhu's subordinate, responsible for leading the way as a guide, Mu Lima actually attaches great importance to his opinion, but this will be in a bad mood, and everyone will have a fierce face...... The battle was so sloppy that I had already held my breath.

Lu Dongqiu's heart jumped twice, his knees weakened, and he directly changed from beating a thousand to kneeling, licking his lips and saying, "That, Fangshan is a flat-topped mountain. ”

"What's wrong with Pingdingshan?" Mulima didn't react for a moment.

Lu Dongqiu stubbornly explained: "The meaning of Pingding Mountain is that the top of the mountain is flat, and Fangshan is not very big...... The last general thought that the Chu thieves must have pushed the cannon to the north. ”

Mulima was stunned. After a moment's pause, he suddenly flew up and kicked Lu Dongqiu on his heels.

"You didn't fucking say it sooner!"

There are so many mountains in the world, all of them are sharp, why did you come across a flat-topped mountain here!

(Baidu data, Nanjing Fangshan, 208 meters above sea level, is a flat-topped mountain shaped like a square seal, known as Yin Mountain in ancient times.) ）

How can this attack the mountain? Even the encirclement could not be carried out, and retreating farther could certainly avoid the artillery of the Chu army, but the encirclement was larger, and the required troops would be multiplied, and it seemed that the entire battle plan had to be readjusted.

……

In the northeast of the Ningzhen Mountains, in Tangshan, Jurong County, Zhu Mala is trying to break through the ambush circle of the Chu army.

Tangshan is also a general term, including many peaks, such as Tangshantou, Leigong Mountain, Yangshan, Shan Zishan, etc., of course, there are some small peaks that do not have names at all, if they are on the military map of later generations, they will be marked as nameless highlands.

The ambush positions of the Chu army were set up on Yangshan and some unnamed hills nearby.

"Ha, listen, the front mountain is really lively, but it's a pity that we were sent here and can't be mixed up at all."

Veteran Wu has been promoted to an officer, but he still can't change his problem of complaining: "The sixth general is really true, knowing that we just joined the Gongyi Battalion, and we didn't give us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." Hey, Da Gu Niu, did you listen to what my brother said? I know that digging soil and digging pits will lead to a lifetime of suffering. Look at the front of this, the steep slope six or seven zhang high, a husband is not open, what are you digging desperately? If you have the strength, go and dig a trench for my brother. ”

This is an unnamed plateau, less than 200 meters high, the front mountain is a gentle slope of dense forests, but the back mountain is steep and rocky, winding hundreds of meters, just like a to protect the artillery position of the Chu army.

"Sentinel Zhu has explained that each team must repair the fortifications by themselves."

In the recent battles of Guichi and Jurong, Da Guniu, who was dedicated to fighting and resolutely carrying out orders, had just been promoted to the deputy of another team, and was only half a level away from his old superior, veteran Wu. But he was brought out by veteran Wu, and he has been bullied for several years, so he was a little afraid of him, so he moved the sentry officer Zhu Huaqi out as a shield.

"Isn't my brother short of people! When we hit Guichi, our three teams rushed to the front, seven were killed and sixteen were wounded, and we haven't made up for it yet, otherwise we wouldn't have been sent here to guard the back mountain. ”

The sky gradually darkened, and it was about to get dark, Wu veteran snorted and spit out the straw stick in his mouth: "This ravine is exactly the same everywhere, if you go in, you will get lost, and the Tartars will definitely not be able to get through, in fact, you don't have to dig trenches so hard." Hey, I know, the sixth general is kind enough to let us rest, but I still want to go to Qianshan to have a good time, if I am lucky, if my brother kills Zhu Mala with one shot, I can get a sentry officer, and I will be paid an extra three taels of silver a month......"

"You don't dig trenches well, if the Tartars come, something big will happen." The big bull was very worried.

"Don't worry about it, I've already arranged it, there are those recruits to work, Lao Tzu rests by himself, what are you afraid of?" Old soldier Wu has a stinky mouth and loves to complain, on the surface, he doesn't seem to care about anything, but in fact, he has his own measure, and he will never cut corners when he should do it, which is why Wang Kebin reuses him......

Separated by two mountain bags, Gu Yigu led one thousand eight banner soldiers, lightly loaded and unloaded their armor, and moved forward in a roundabout way, touching the direction of the back mountain of the nameless hill. (To be continued......)
