Chapter Seventy-Three: The Night Attack of the Would-be Bandits
Chen Di led 3,000 Flying Tiger troops to Beipo Town, outside Taizhou City. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of the 3,000 Flying Tigers, 1,000 were newly recruited recruits. The combat power of the recruits is naturally inferior to that of the veterans who participated in the battle of Haicheng Port. Chen Di simply came to a mix of old and new. Half recruits and half veterans are arranged in each bucket king's eight formations.
Chen Di led Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang around Beipo Town to survey the terrain.
Tang Shunzhi, Yu Dayou, and Qi Jiguang all rode high-headed horses, and Chen Di, a fourteen-year-old young prefect, rode a donkey. The buttocks of the donkey prefect were followed by three famous generals riding war horses, which was quite a strange sight.
But Tang, Yu, and Qi willingly followed behind the young prefect who rode a donkey. Because they have already admired Chen Di's talent and wrists!
Chen Di said to the three of them: "You see, the east of Beipo Town is a plain, a flat river. There is a small hill on the south side, and half of the twelve Fran machine guns of our right team are transferred, and all six of them are equipped with son-mother guns, and they are placed on the small hillside to bombard the Japanese invaders together with the Shenwu General cannons. ”
When the Fran machine artillery was introduced to the Ming Dynasty from the West, it could only fire solid shells. The skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty made good improvements, replacing the solid cannonballs with iron-shelled flowering shells, filling the cannonballs with gunpowder and placing external time-delaying medicine twists, which were extremely powerful.
Tang Shunzhi asked: "What about the other six Furlong machine guns?" ”
Chen Di replied: "The other six Furlong machine guns, all of which are loaded with loose guns, will deal with the Japanese who are charging head-on!" ”
Chen Di ordered again: "The sword and axe men of the left team are personally led by Second Brother Yu, and they form an iron bucket king eight formations to confront the Japanese Kou. The firecrackers of the right team were arrayed by the second brother Qi in the south, and bombarded the Japanese from the flank! ”
The Flying Tigers were waiting outside the city. I waited for a long time, but I didn't see any trace of half of the widows.
Tang Shunzhi was puzzled: "Strange thing! According to the previous spies' news, the Japanese should have arrived in Beipo Town an hour ago. ”
Yu Dayou also said curiously: "Could it be that after the Japanese invaders landed, they were afraid of the prestige of our Flying Tiger Army and retreated to the sea?" ”
Chen Diluo thought about it and guessed what Inoue Shiro thought.
Before the Wa Kingdom was attached to China, it did not have its own written language. After the Tang Dynasty, I learned from China everywhere. After the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" by the Yuan people Luo Guanzhong was introduced to the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom actually enshrined it as a military book! If Chen Di is not mistaken, the history books record that during the Warring States Period in the fifteenth century, the so-called "famous generals" all used "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" as a classic of the art of war! The generals of the Wa Kingdom are almost every one in their hands.
In the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", there are many chapters that talk about night raids. For example, Gan Ning attacked Cao Ying at night, Zhang Jaw attacked Zhang Fei at night, and Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Ying at night.
It's almost dusk now, isn't Inoue Shishiro going to use the methods of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to carry out some kind of night raid?
It's a pity that the Japanese don't know that when it comes to the art of war, the Chinese are the ancestors of the Japanese invaders. And touching the camp and attacking at night, itching China is the ancestor of the ancestors of the Japanese invaders!
Chen Di said to Tang Shunzhi: "Let the brothers stop lining up and camp on the spot." ”
"Camp on the spot? What if the Japanese suddenly come from the front? Yu Dayou asked.
Chen Di smiled at Yu Dayou: "Don't worry, I have my own opinions." ”
The 3,000 soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army received the order, set up camp tents on the spot, and buried pots for cooking.
On the horizon, several cavalry of the Japanese suddenly appeared.
The cavalry seemed to be scouts of the Wokos, who circled the camp a few times before disappearing into the sunset.
Night.
The autumn wind of October is blowing. In the camp of the Flying Tigers, there were only three or five patrolling sentries. Most of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army seemed to have been driven into a warm tent by the bleak autumn wind.
Three or four hundred black-clad robbers quietly approached the camp of the Flying Tiger Army in the dark.
The leading Japanese is Muraichi Watanabe, the number one advisor of Inoue Shishiro. And these three or four hundred black-clothed Japanese robbers are samurai with superb sword skills selected from tens of thousands of Japanese robbers!
Watanabe Muraichi is the typical kind of person who thinks he is smart. He believes that he has been familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" since he was a child, and he has studied the art of war deeply. After landing with Inoue Shiro, he suggested to Inoue Shiro that he use the method of Gan Ning's night attack on Cao Ying in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to defeat the Cao army, and use elite soldiers to carry out a night attack on the camp of the Flying Tiger Army.
If you have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" a few times, even if you understand the art of war, then there should always be millions of people in the Ming Dynasty who can live Zhuge .
Watanabe Village was overjoyed to see that the Flying Tigers' camp was defenseless except for a few sentries. If he took three or four hundred elite samurai to solve the Flying Tiger Army, his lord Inoue Shishiro would definitely give him a heavy reward.
Before the fight started, Murachi Watanabe had already dreamed of it. I don't know how many Kaga's beauties Inoue-kun will reward himself this time? How much gold and silver?
It was late at night. Watanabe Muraichi believed that the soldiers of the Flying Tigers had fallen asleep. As soon as he gave an order, three or four hundred black-clothed robbers quietly entered the camp of the Flying Tiger Army.
After entering the camp of the Flying Tiger Army, three or four hundred Japanese invaders were divided into groups of ten, and each group entered a tent. Their plan was to move in units of ten, kill one tent, and move on to the next.
According to Watanabe Muraichi's estimate, it would take one hour to assassinate all the Flying Tiger soldiers.
It's a pity that the Flying Tigers are not lambs to be slaughtered!
Ten pirates enter a tent, only to find it empty.
Ten other pirates entered another tent and found it empty.
Soon, Watanabe Muraichi found himself facing an empty camp!
Watanabe was furious and ordered the black-clad robbers to set fire to the barracks.
At this moment, the seven or eight camp tents in the center suddenly opened the camp curtain, and hundreds of soldiers of the Left Army of the Flying Tiger Army with firearms poured out.
Outside the camp gate, the sound of sudden killing shook the sky. Two thousand ambushed sword and axe men of the right team of the Flying Tiger Army caught three or four hundred black-clothed robbers from both sides.
Watanabe Village said wholeheartedly: "It's not good, it's a trick." ”
He ordered all three or four hundred black-clothed pirates to retreat.
The military camp of the Flying Tiger Army is not something that the pirates can come and leave whenever they want.
Chen Di stood in the middle of the left team of musketeers and ordered the musketeers to fire.
The 700 guns are divided into three teams, and a salvo is more than 200 guns. The dense guns weaved into a barrage of death, and pounced on three or four hundred black-clothed robbers.
In two volleys, seventy or eighty black-clothed robbers were beaten into a hornet's nest.
These three or four hundred black-clothed pirates are the elite of the pirates. The sword skills are superb and the martial arts are strong. It's a pity that no matter how superb your sword skills are, no matter how strong your martial arts are, you can't resist the bombardment of more than 700 firearms.
Watanabe Muradaichi shouted, "All retreat to the camp gate!" Fast! ”
Watanabe Muraichi didn't know that what greeted them at the gate of the camp was twelve Fran machine guns full of loose guns!
