Qiu Yuancai's troops are indeed in a hurry,

If at this time, the Huai army is bombarded by a burst of artillery, they can only hide in the ravine.

However, the Huai army used so many foreign gun teams, which made them laugh.

"Hide from all his brews, don't sacrifice unnecessarily." This is Luo Yang's words, which were transmitted to Qiu Yuancai as they were, and also became the mantra of the commander of Huaxia Tian**,

In terms of the use of artillery, Hua Xia Tian did not say, and in terms of evasion, he did not say, what should be said is that many generals could not seriously implement it, and they all thought that they were very awesome, such as Qiu Yuancai, he suffered a big loss,

If, according to Luo Yang's orders, they set up camp and dig fortifications, most of the infantry are hidden in them, the artillery fire of the Qing army can be avoided in large quantities, so that the enemy is ineffective, but unfortunately, Qiu Yuancai, who is brave and good at fighting, gave up this principle, and as a result, a small half of his 8,000 people remained, and now, he felt regretful, so he ordered the officers and soldiers to dig a large number of fortifications, and it was the way Luo Yang requested,

Semi-circular, digging two more small holes in the side wall, just like the cat's ears, which are very normal in modern mountain warfare, are advanced, so, a large number of infantry who have excavated fortifications are hidden in them, only a few four or five hundred people, the division is in the light, waiting for the attack of the Qing army, in fact, they are just ordinary reconnaissance eyes and ears, watching the movements of the Qing army, providing intelligence targets for artillery, those flying thunder guns with sufficient ammunition,

Flying thunder cannons are cheap heavy weapons because explosives packs are so well made.

"Hide and leave only a dozen or so people watching." Thinking of not obeying Luo Yang and causing such heavy losses to the troops, this fierce general Qiu Yuancai became much more cautious,

Cheng Xueqi, the commander of the Qing army, was watching the situation in one place, and just when the foreign gun team was in formation, he suddenly ordered: "Open the cannon." ”

Of course, it was to bombard his own people, but to bombard the Huaxia army, deliberately hiding a cannonball, in order to lure the enemy into being fooled, although the night had been slightly revealed, so that he could not see carefully, but the artillery had already been prepared,

"I'm afraid you think that Lao Tzu has so many shells."

Although there are many remaining artillery shells, Cheng Xueqi's tricks convinced him that he can inflict heavy damage on the enemy, and in the foreign gun team, his officers and soldiers are already informed.

"Squat down at once, squat all in."

"Hmm."

"The chief soldier has an order, squat down and wait for a while."

No one dared to disobey the chief soldier, that guy had a strange temper and was very fierce, even the foreign bun soldiers were afraid of him, so everyone lay down,

Boom, boom, shells, suddenly, towards the barracks of Qiu Yuancai's army, the earth trembled slightly, the smoke of gunpowder was on the artillery position, and as soon as a round was fired, many soldiers began to cough violently,

"Light." Cheng Xueqi observed with a telescope while commanding,

The artillery of the Qing army had been aiming for a long time, and as a result, seeing that Qiu Yuancai's fence and other barracks obstacles were blown up in a mess,

Okay, the shells are over, Cheng Xueqi comfortably put his arms behind his back and returned to the barracks: "Serve wine." ”

"Lord Commander, this."

"Wine and food." Cheng Xueqi patted the table, in his opinion, the matter has been successfully resolved, those Chinese officers and soldiers who are not afraid of death, there will definitely be no more way to live, tonight, he wants to sleep comfortably,

He didn't expect that tonight, he wouldn't have a chance to sleep again, because, Huaxia Tian ** had already anticipated a large-scale counteroffensive, and had planned to destroy all the Qing troops overnight.

In the camp, Luo Yang personally presided over the meeting, because the generals were lit in the tent at night, and every general was filled with nervous and excited emotions.

"King Rui."

"King Rui."

"Well, okay, please take a seat."

In fact, a grand strategic plan has been issued a long time ago, and at this time, it is just a meeting before the war, and it is just emphasized again, after all, there are many things that will change, and it is necessary to coordinate and unify and make decisions again.

The situation was reported, and everyone was still optimistic about the situation of Qiu Yuancai's army, because the Qing army's position was in place, and during the day, their movements could be observed through the telescope.

"Our army will launch an attack on the enemy tonight in accordance with the original plan, pay attention, our offensive has many requirements, to be specific, I repeat, we must advance slowly, with the power of our army's existing flying thunder artillery, destroy all the enemy's obstacles, as for our foreign artillery, because of the shortage of shells, it cannot be used for the time being, our infantry, to give full play to the spiritual tradition of heroic and good fighting, using grenades as the main weapon, once close combat, we need to work hard, but we do not master physical hard combat, It is better to use our advantages to the fullest and defeat the enemy. ”

Luo Yang emphasized the main points, the main generals all claimed the specific tasks of their troops in detail, and then, everyone encouraged each other to determine the timetable for contact and development.

Huaxia Tian ** still has no watch, although in Europe, there has been large-scale production, there is no watch time, it is really a terrible time, so Luo Yang is very worried, only here,

After the shelling, the Qing army's foreign spear team did not move, but observed for a while, and then began to advance, and immediately the Qing army's infantry short knife group and iron spear gunmen surrounded to protect the foreign gun team.

The first group of infantry stepped forward to test it, and suddenly, something of unknown protrusion from a vague place, causing a large number of infantry to scream,

The foreign gun team immediately opened fire, although it was not very clear, but it was the same for the enemy, and the foreign gun team was very experienced, and the more it bombarded at nightfall, the more it could have a shocking effect, because the flame afterglow of the muzzle was very powerful, it was a photoelectric effect,

Rows of foreign guns hit past, the officers and soldiers of the foreign guns team did not look at them at all, and operated mechanically, and they fought this kind of battle many times, because the enemy could not see clearly, they often leaned out to observe, or swarmed, so the power of foreign guns can be exerted to the extreme.

All the officers and men of the foreign rifle team can rejoice while loading and firing, thinking that their results are very amazing.

They didn't know, there were people who were as surprised as them, that is, their chief soldier, looking at the flames of the guns from a distance, Cheng Xueqi came over with a wine glass to observe, hahahaha, he couldn't stop laughing,

Courage and conspiracy are both in him, so he can become the first general in the Huai army, Li Hongzhang's big celebrity, his insidious cunning is not only on the battlefield, but also in other aspects, for example, Suzhou killing prisoners of war is his idea, although there are many excuses, however, he is worried that so many traitors will crowd in, which will threaten his position,

If it weren't for the fact that this guy died early and became seriously ill in history, perhaps, it would not be impossible to become the first person in the Huai Army, and even, to become a hero like Zhu Wen of the fifth generation.

There are many people who are surprised, it is Qiu Yuancai's Huaxia Army,

Suddenly, when the Qing army's foreign gun team was advancing proudly, a loud bang broke out,

It was the long-awaited flying thunder cannon of the Huaxia Army, and even, many of them were direct infantry throwing book grenades, and the Qing army was in chaos, especially the foreign gun team, which was torn to pieces by the bursting shells.
