When the Fu Han army captured Zhoujiakou, in Tangzhuang in the northwest of Shangshui, Wang Tenglong led a team of five or six thousand Ganshan horses, quietly waiting for the time to attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

For this battle, Wang Tenglong is still relatively confident. The reason is that the cavalry and horse corps of the Qing army, which exceeds the number of the Fu Han army too much. Of course, Wang Tenglong did not dare to be careless. In the first battle between him and Chen Han, Wang Tenglong was careless, and then he still hasn't gotten up after falling down. He is now the commander-in-chief with the rank of admiral, but he is weaker than the admiral.

The latter can lead tens of thousands of soldiers to take charge alone, while he can only obey orders under the big guy.

In a landlord's house in Tangzhuang, Wang Tenglong was sitting on a table of eight immortals with his generals Song Yuanjun, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Li Tianyou to build the Great Wall. Since the 'final version' of 'mahjong' was made in Chen Ming's hands, it has risen very much in the Fu Han army, and like the playing of cards, it quickly circulated to the people. [Mahjong was finally 'finished' at the end of the Qing Dynasty]

Then from the south to the north, and then from the northern folk to the Qing army.

Wang Tenglong is a mahjong enthusiast, and his generals also play mahjong.

A big reason for playing mahjong in the army is 'gambling'. Each of the Eight Immortals had a pile of silver on his hand.

"Bump!"

"Horse's, broken ......"

The shouts of the house could not be heard at the gate. When playing cards, at first were quiet, but when a few rounds were pushed over, the temperament came up, not only the strength of the mahjong, but also a mantra unconsciously burst out.

And don't blame Wang Tenglong, they don't do their business when they are idle. As a cavalry unit, it is very painful to not find your own relaxation in your spare time from the battlefield.

The war has only just begun, and the Fu Han army is full of energy and high morale. At this time, if the Qing army went to attack and harass, they would not be able to eat any good fruits, so they should wait. When the morale of the Fu Han army fell, and when they finished using the first few axes, it was time for them to attack.

As for the first few days, whether the Qing army in Zhoujiakou Town can withstand it, Wang Tenglong is not worried.

The latter was a military center vigorously operated by the Qing army, and if Zhoujiakou could not withstand the onslaught of the Fu Han army in three or two days, then the Qing army's long-planned tactics -- infantry cantonment and cavalry guerrilla attacks in all directions -- would not need to be mentioned.

"Driving ......"

A fast horse galloped towards the gate. "Report ......"

The sound of horses' hooves stopped in front of the doorway, and the rider turned over and fell off his horse, threw a sign, and gave a password to verify his identity. He hurried towards the courtyard. The anxiety in the long voice made Wang Tenglong, who was playing cards in the lobby, tremble suddenly.

Song Yuanjun, Zhang Zhiyuan, and Li Tianyou also put away their gambler faces at once, and their faces became solemn.

"Report, report to the military gate, Zhoujiakou is lost......"

Tanma came directly to Tangzhuang from Zhoujiakou, thirty miles away, rolling yellow dust, and his face was full of dust. I don't know whether the sweat left on his forehead is cold or hot, but the dust on his face washes out a series of 'ravines'!

"How is that possible?"

"Nonsense."

"What a big dog, dare to lie about the military situation!"

Song Yuanjun and Zhang Zhiyuan slapped the table and stood up, and Li Tianyou was dumbfounded.

Wang Tenglong was also dumbfounded. "You said Zhoujiakou was lost? This ......, how is this possible? ”

The entire Zhoujiakou garrison has more than 10,000 cavalry, and there is Chenzhou behind it, and today Lord A Gui will also arrive with the team, no matter how fierce the Fu Han army is, it is impossible to take a day, no, not a day, now the sun is only west, and Zhoujiakou will be taken in half a day.

"Junmen, Chen Shun has been protected by the great god Chiyou. The great god Chiyou has appeared on the battlefield, who would dare to fight again......" So the entire Qing army in Zhoujiakou collapsed. The Fu Han army broke the Yinghe defense line in the first attack, and then captured the Jialu River, bypassing the Shahe River, and the whole battle ended in the morning. Only a small part of the 20,000 Qing troops resisted and died, and a few infantry and cavalry units escaped, and the remaining more than 10,000 people were obediently captured.

"Phew. Idiot! Wang Tenglong heard the big joke, and kicked the horse to the ground in a fit of anger, "It's still a great god, it's a ghost." ”

Wang Tenglong is the governor of Shaanxi, and he is certainly no stranger to Chiyou. But they didn't think he would come at all. It feels like it's an existence older than the legendary gods and Buddhas, just like Nuwa Niangniang!

Even if the Buddha comes, the Jade Emperor comes, it is also more reliable than Chiyou.

Tanma was kicked to the ground by him, but he didn't feel any pain at all. turned over and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Junmen, the little one really doesn't dare to talk nonsense." The great god hung in the air of Chen Yijun, his eyes were like attention, scanning the officials and soldiers. That's not what the villain saw alone. Then Tan Ma seemed to think of absolute evidence, and said: "Military gate, military gate." Zhoujiakou was lost in half a day, if it weren't for the appearance of the great god Chiyou, who was so frightened that the morale of the officers and soldiers was completely lost, and the fighting spirit was completely lost, how could Chen Wei be able to take Zhoujiakou in one fell swoop. ”

"There are 20,000 cavalry troops stationed there, and the imperial court has spent countless efforts on it."

Don't say it, it's a very strong proof indeed.

"Zhoujiakou is really lost?" Wang Tenglong suppressed the initial nervousness, stunned and shocked in his heart, and asked with a straight face.

"If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. Chen Wei has really taken Zhoujiakou...... "Tanma's tears are flowing out."

For a while, everyone in the entire hall was cold and dumbfounded.

……

At this moment, on the road between Zhoujiakou and Shangshui, a large number of cavalry troops were rapidly advancing in the direction of Tangzhuang. Chen Kaishan sat on horseback in high spirits, and in front of him was the main force of the cavalry brigade -- tens of thousands of horses' hooves trampled on the earth, and the loess was rising, making a sound like rolling thunder.

Chen Ming ordered the cavalry brigade to follow the opportunity to go straight to Shangshui Tangzhuang. Who made Wang Tenglong's department the only cavalry garrison of the Fu Han Army that had found out its location? Moreover, no traces of a large number of reinforcements were found in Shangshui City.

The army took Zhoujiakou in the morning, and Chen Kaishan was amazed inexplicably, although he couldn't cry or laugh after knowing the truth. But the victory of the army in sweeping Zhoujiakou was real, and there was no way to fake it. That is, Ah Gui's legs are fast, otherwise he will also be a prisoner of war!

"Order the troops to speed up, we must arrive at Tangzhuang before dark."

The Qing army destroyed the direct passage from Zhoujiakou to Shangshui, and now the army is marching in the deserted fields, and there are large and small ditches on the ridges, which are all big troubles when it gets dark.

Look back at the soup house.

Of course, it is impossible for the small Tangzhuang to garrison the next five or six thousand cavalry, and the Qing army horse team occupies more than ten villages centered on Tangzhuang.

There was not a single people left here, the fields were all deserted, and the weeds were reborn. Autumn and winter are coming, and the land is golden.

The Qing army has not yet learned the Qingchu technology, it should be that they have not put their minds on this aspect, this thing has already been popularized among the people of Ruzhou and Nanyang. Especially in Nanyang, the number of cattle and donkeys has increased greatly in the past two years, and seventy percent of the credit will be attributed to the green storage technology.

The Qing army did not have this hand, so they could only let the horses eat forage, and then add fine and coarse materials. For the same livestock, only from the comparison of 'rations', the cost of the Qing army will far exceed that of the Fu Han army.

Wang Tenglong was restless in the hall, he convened the camp officials from all over the place to discuss, and also sent a scout horse to the direction of Zhoujiakou to investigate.

Now Song Yuanjun and Zhang Zhiyuan have returned to their respective teams and are ready to fight. There was only one Li Tianyou left by his side. is also the same as Wang Tenglong, anxiously waiting for the return of Tanma.

The sun was setting in the west, and it was approaching dusk, and two fast horses galloped to the front of the courtyard with the familiar faces of the two Wang Tenglong soldiers.

"Zhang Twelve, Old Five, why did you two come back so quickly?" Has it only been an hour since I went out?

The pro-soldier in front of the gate asked in dismay.

"Come back soon? Hurry up and fart. Chen Wei called, hurry up and prepare. The scout, whose name was Zhang Twelve, was running into the courtyard and shouting at the soldiers at the door.

"It's called......" A group of pro-soldiers at the door looked at each other.

Too fast, too bold, right?

……

Zhoujiakou at the moment, Shanxi Hall.

Chen Ming has already taken it as his headquarters, and countless staff officers are coming in and out. Information from all sides from outside is also being sent to the command in a steady stream.

After capturing Zhoujiakou, Chen Ming sent a cavalry brigade south to attack the Qing army's horse team at Shangshui Tangzhuang. In order to increase the chances of victory for the cavalry brigade, which was much weaker than the Qing army, Chen Ming deployed a batch of rockets to the cavalry brigade.

Besides, they set out for Tangzhuang at three o'clock in the afternoon, and by the time they arrived at Tangzhuang, it was already dark. In the evening and dusk, there is no big battle. And it is impossible for the Qing army to retreat in the case of the Fu Han army, so the greatest possibility for them is to stay where they are.

So Chen Ming prepared a batch of rockets for Chen Kaishan.

In the original time and space, the British used rockets to beat the Qing army, and the backward things of the British were not very lethal, but the range was quite long, and they had a good harassment effect on the Qing army's infantry and cavalry. Especially the cavalry, at that time, the Qing army's war horses were not used to hearing explosions, and when rockets with smoke and fire fell into the horses, the team immediately dispersed. Then it will be difficult to pose a sufficient threat to the British army!

In the battle of Bali Bridge, as soon as Seng Lingqin's Manmeng horse team was defeated, it was due to the rockets.

Moreover, some of the rockets that Chen Ming allocated to the cavalry brigade were specially frequented special shells, and this time the 'ingredients' were no longer mustard or chili peppers, but yellow phosphorus, powdered wax and a small amount of coal paste. Coal paste is coal tar!

This special bomb is an incendiary bomb to be precise. Chen Ming also didn't know if such a 'combustion' level could reach the effect of the first generation of incendiary bombs in the late 19th and early 20th centuries of the original time and space, anyway, in terms of experimental results, it was still very good.

"Your Highness, the Qing army in Xihua has been dispatched. One part arrived at Fangkouji, and the other part advanced to Lijia Town. ”

Fangkouji is located directly north of the Fu Han army, and Lijiazhen is located in the diagonal rear of the Fu Han army.

Chen Ming's fingers compared these two places, and there was a gap of twenty or thirty miles between them, which seemed to be very close, but on the battlefield, such a large gap was enough for the Fu Han army to cut and surround them.

These Qing troops jumped out of Xihua, a strong nest, with a very simple purpose, that is, to contain the Fu Han army and slow down the pace of the Fu Han army to attack Chenzhou City. And presumably by tomorrow, a large group of cavalry will cut to the Shahe River behind the Fu Han army.

"Is there any news from Chen Kaishan?"

"Back to Your Highness, there is no news from the cavalry brigade yet." Xiong Bingzhang followed Chen Ming again, "But there is news from the secret camp." ”

The distance between Chenzhou Mansion and the land of the Fu Han Army is so close, it is naturally the key business place of the secret camp. And to put it this way, in the past few years, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been constantly looting and squeezing, making Chenzhou, a relatively wealthy prefecture located in the East Henan Plain, very miserable. Not only the common people are miserable, but also the gentry and wealthy households in the territory are also miserable.

Just like Chen Yi and the big proprietor of the firm, it has a close connection with the dark camp itself. When Chen Han's soldiers and horses visited Zhoujiakou for the first time, Chen Yihe escaped by relying on his relationship. At that time, Chen Liang was still running the SF Express firm and bought a lot of sulfur saltpeter from Chen Yihe. Although the Fu Han army was on the defensive in the Henan battlefield later, the secret connection between the two sides was never severed. And the Chen family is just one of the many contacts in the Chenzhou Mansion!

"According to the intelligence statistics in the dark camp, there are only five or six thousand cavalry of the Qing army in Chenzhou Mansion at present. Ah Gui had already left the city of Chenzhou with a large group of cavalry. In the current Chenzhou Mansion, because of the rumors of 'Chiyou Xiansheng' and the news that Zhoujiakou was broken in half a day, and then the departure of Ah Gui and his troops, the morale of the army was chaotic and morale was low. ”

"Do you know where Gui is?"

"I only know that Ah Gui led the troops out of the city from the south gate."

"What about time?"

"Around half past three in the afternoon."

Chen Ming looked at the map and was silent for a long time, Ah Gui walked from the south gate of Chenzhou, could he still go back to Shangshui?

"Send the order to Chen Kaishan. Let him be careful. "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. If Ah Gui really dared to risk losing Chenzhou Fucheng, the focus of the Qing army's military needs, and go to Shangshui to make a fool of himself, then the cavalry brigade would have to be careful.

……

After dawn, there were still a few Liao stars hanging in the sky, and the eastern sky was slightly white. The sound of horses' hooves like rolling thunder resounded outside the soup house.

Wang Tenglong and Li Tianyou were all dressed in military uniforms, and the cavalry under them were also ready to go. Although the sound of horses' hooves outside was loud, Wang Tenglong's ears were not deaf, at most four or five hundred horses were swinging, and the cavalry of the Fu Han Army who arrived in the evening was no less than three thousand.

Since receiving the news of the killing of the cavalry of the Fu Han Army, Wang Tenglong's reaction was no different from what Chen Ming expected.

He did not retreat in a hurry in the dark sky, nor did he attack the cavalry brigade of the Fu Han Army, but chose not to fight or retreat. The cavalry and horse teams of more than a dozen surrounding villages were gathered into five villages centered on Tangzhuang. The Tangzhuang itself has a small cavalry of 2,000 cavalry, and each of the other four villages has thousands of cavalry!

Outside the soup village, Chen Kaishan did not sleep. The distance he was located was quite close to the soup house.

The five villages are not specially arranged, and the four villages on the periphery of the soup village are only roughly shrouded in the soup village, in fact, the location of the four villages is an almost oblate diamond shape, and the soup village is located in the northeast of this oblate circle.

With the range of the rocket, as long as the angle is set, it can completely enter the soup village. It's a pity that the number of rockets is limited, and if the main soup village is the main one, the other four villages can only be harassing fires.

Chen Kaishan ordered a battalion of cavalry to gallop on horseback, firstly, to create a tense atmosphere; The second is to cover up his movements.

"Brigade, get ready."

"Then launch—"

The dawn had passed, and Chen Kaishan didn't want to wait for a quarter of an hour.

In the deep darkness, there were suddenly bursts of fire, and twenty rocket launchers were fixed to the ground by long iron nails.

"Whoosh ......"

Ignition, the tail of the rocket spewed out a violent flame, the white smoke rose to pain, accompanied by a strong heat wave, the loess was sprayed in the smoke by the exhaust, and the rockets came out like meteors from the launcher.

It's like lightning flashing through the dark sky!

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" The sound of violent explosions resounded inside and outside the soup village.

"Didn't Chen Wei bring a cannon?" When Wang Tenglong heard the sudden explosion, his face immediately changed. (To be continued.) )
