Attacking now can indeed cause the effect of a half-crossing attack, giving the Chu army a lot of casualties, but Dang Shousu is not interested in this.

His target is Emperor Longwu, there is no injustice and no enmity between him and the Chu army, and he has a lot of origins, he is forced to tear his face and start a war, why kill so many people? Is there any benefit in provoking Wang Kefan?

According to the battle plan formulated by him, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen, the ideal state is to trap the Chu army under Ningyuan City, wait for Liu Fangliang and He Zhen's main force to arrive and encircle on all sides, force Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong to surrender, at least hand over Emperor Longwu and Empress Zeng and others, and then let the Chu army leave safely, so that the purpose of saving the car is achieved, and there is also a step under Wang Kefan's side, there is no need to build a strong enemy for himself out of thin air, and it is a strong enemy who can slap himself to death at any time and cannot be provoked at all.

Whether Emperor Longwu can be rescued at the lowest cost, the key is whether the Chu army can be dragged to the death, and then the iron wall will be encircled, so that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have no way to escape. If they attack with all their strength now and retract the Chu army to the opposite bank, Zhou Guodong and Tan Xiao saw that there was no chance to take advantage of it, and they chose other places to break through, or even break through separately, which would complicate the situation, so the party guarded the enemy and showed weakness, hid the main force in the camp and Ningyuan City, and only sent the second-rate Sun Zuye and Sun Chengye brothers to fight, and when Sun Chengye fell into a bitter battle, he did not send reinforcements.

Come on, my strength is limited, you can defeat me if you work hard, hurry up and cross the river to fight me!

Zhou Guodong did not disappoint him.

As if hearing the call of the party's guarding, Zhou Guodong sent more troops to cross the Lianshui River, and anti-guest-oriented, launched a counterattack against Sun Chengye, Sun Chengye just saw Sun Zuye fall off the horse, and only wanted to avenge his brother, leading the chief of the tribe to call out a vicious battle, rather die than retreat, and for a time it was also comparable to the Chu army.

Several of the officers and staff officers under Zhou Guodong also saw the strangeness of this situation, and found Zhou Guodong to remind him that he was careful that this was a trick by the party to lure the enemy, but Zhou Guodong stubbornly held his own opinion and ordered the troops to continue to cross the river and attack the Qinwang army with all their might.

"Needless to say, I know it in my heart." Is it a trick to lure the enemy? Okay, I'm about to do it!

With the increase in the strength of the Chu army, Sun Chengye gradually could not support, at this time, the two Chu armies that crossed the Lianshui River from both sides rushed to the battlefield, and formed a three-sided attack on Sun Chengye.

"Good! It's good to come! ”

Seeing their own soldiers and horses throwing off their armor and fleeing, the victorious Chu army was like a rainbow, and chased after the camp to kill, the party guard Su Xi was in a state of joy - the enemy finally bit the hook, and it was the three-way soldiers and horses who bit the hook together, adding up to more than 10,000 people, looking at the banner Tan Xiao himself is also among them, now, don't think about getting out easily.

The Chu army easily defeated Sun Chengye and took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce attack on the camp of the party's guards.

The party shou used the flag to order the battalions and the city of Ningyuan to hold on to the village (city) and not to take a step back.

When the confrontation across the river just now, the Chu army could run away at any time, and now the main forces of the two sides have been engaged in close combat, just like two people pulling each other to scuffle and fighting, it is not so easy to run, if Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong turn around and want to run, they will have to pay an unbearable price if they are chased and killed from behind by Dang Shousu, and even the whole army will be annihilated.

If you want to break through, you must break through my camp!

But I've been prepared, and I'm waiting for you to attack!

The camp of the party is very strong, the height of the camp wall is more than one zhang, it is made of solid clay tamping, the soldiers can stand on the camp wall, condescendingly kill and injure the enemy who comes to attack, there are two trenches inside and outside the camp wall, the inside is full of bamboo stick spikes, there are mobile fortifications such as horse guns and wooden walls inside the camp wall, which can be plugged at any time, each camp has a well dug inside, and is separated into a separate division with a solid wooden fence, even if the camp is broken by the enemy, it can also be resisted like a street fight.

On weekdays, it is impossible for the party to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to build a military camp like this, but he knows that there will be a fierce battle today, and it is not superfluous to face the Chu army no matter how cautious he is, so he has made great efforts to build each camp like a small city, plus a large number of defensive equipment, and sufficient defensive forces, so that each camp has become an insurmountable fortress.

According to the prediction of the party Shousu, even if the Chu army can fight again, it will take at least half a day to capture a camp, and it will take at least four or five days to capture all the companies and battalions of this platoon, but as long as they hold on until tomorrow morning, Liu Fangliang, He Zhen and others will complete the encirclement, so that Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong have no way to escape.

Of course, there must be a fierce battle after this, and Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong are now under siege

After that, it will definitely not be caught, the trapped beast is still fighting, more fierce, before Liu Fangliang and He Zhen's main force arrives, this pressure must be borne by the party Shousu, the party Shousu has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will still not be able to hold out, if necessary, he can give up a few camps, anyway, Liu Fangliang and He Zhen outside have already been surrounded, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong no matter how much they jump, they can't jump out of the palm of the Buddha......

Everything was well conceived, but after the war began, the situation was not right.

"Thief, mother! Chu Jun's gang, why are they so fierce?! ”

The offensive of the Chu army was sharper than expected.

They began to attack from the outermost camp, except for the direction with their backs to friendly forces, the other three directions were attacked at the same time, and the three walls of this camp were in danger at the same time, and the reserves were sent up like a stream, and soon all the forces were thrown into battle, and they had been stretched to the limit.

This is a very dangerous state, there is no reserve, as long as the slightest loss will collapse on the whole line, the party Shousu immediately sent reinforcements, but the Chu army blocked the gate of the village and could not enter, so he had to watch the Chu army kill on the camp wall, and the defenders started a white-knives battle.

"Hold on!"

Dang Shousu subconsciously rubbed his fingers vigorously, and his heart was very entangled.

The attack of the Chu army is too sharp, according to this degree, the camp can only last for about two hours, less than half of the expected time, but send troops to rescue, and have to face the interception of the Chu army, Zhou Guodong's main force has crossed the river, plus Tan Xiao's two troops, the Chu army on this side of the river has reached 15,000 people, if you want to rescue the camp, you have to put all the mobile forces into the battlefield, and the Chu army has a decisive battle in advance, which not only does not have any benefit to the party guard, but has a huge risk.

"Forget it, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, it's up to you."

In the end, the party decided that the overall situation was important, and even if the camps were broken down like this, they could not risk a decisive battle with the Chu army.

When he was a little distracted, he suddenly heard a loud bang, like a dull thunder, Dang Shousu raised his head to look at the sky suspiciously, and then realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the position of the Chu army in the distance, sure enough, the Chu army pushed up a row of artillery, facing the camp wall in front, and the loud bang just now was the first test firing.

"How is that possible?"

Dang Shousu's heart sank suddenly, the Chu army had walked hundreds of miles of mountain roads, how could they still carry heavy artillery? This, this makes no sense at all!

He left Huguang for two years, the time is not short, it is not long, and he still looks at the Chu army with old eyes, but he does not know that the Chu army is in a period of high development in the past two years, not only a large area of flint guns, but also artillery has undergone upgrading. Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's department is equipped with the latest generation of light infantry artillery, after repeated optimization and improvement, the weight of the three-pounder gun has been reduced to about 1,000 catties, and the four-pounder gun is more than 1,200 catties.

Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong's troops, a total of twenty-four three-pounder guns and eight four-pounder guns, at the moment half of the artillery pushed up, after several rounds of test firing, began to concentrate fire bombardment, these light artillery siege power is insufficient, but the village is enough, one by one shells with huge kinetic energy, with a unique trajectory that seems to be slow and fast, fluttering to the opposite side of the camp, although the camp wall of the party Shousu is seriously repaired, but the time is too hasty, the clay is not dried layer by layer, far less than the real city wall, Every time it is hit by a shell, it shuddes violently, leaving small circular craters in the wall.

In the roaring sound of shelling, there were more and more small craters in the wall, and cracks began to appear visible to the naked eye, and the cracks gradually became larger and longer, like spider webs all over the wall, until they were hit by the last shell and collapsed.

"Rush!"

The soldiers of the Chu army, who had been waiting for a long time, swarmed up and entered the camp from the gap.

The defenders tried to seal the gap, but the flesh and blood and the wooden wall of the horse were even more vulnerable in front of the shells, after the Chu soldiers opened the gap, they immediately pushed the light artillery up, continued to expand the breakthrough, and advanced to the depth, when the second and third gaps appeared in the camp wall, more Chu troops rushed into the camp from all directions, and the defenders were no longer able to resist and had nowhere to escape, so they had to lay down their arms and surrender.

It only took one hour for this camp to be lost, which was half the time less than the party had expected, and the Chu army did not delay, and immediately attacked the second camp.

It was also an hour when the battle flag of the Chu army was planted on the camp wall.

Immediately after that, there was the third camp......

Seeing that the camps were lost one after another, the party guards were anxious, but there was nothing to do, seeing that the Chu army had so many artillery, he did not dare to go out of the camp for a decisive battle, so he could only hide in the camp and be beaten passively, delaying for a moment. Wonderful! ( = )
