Chapter 526: Sneak Attack
At this time, in the eastern rear, Lan Yue opened his eyes and watched all this, and when he saw Tian Liang slowly retreating up the mountain with his soldiers, he frowned.
"Troops, the enemy does not have artillery units? Why not fight back? ”
This is what Blue Moon is most worried about so far, the red-coated cannon is the most dangerous and powerful weapon on the battlefield, once surrounded, there is no life, so he must ensure the position of the enemy's red-coated cannon, distance, etc., so that the next battle can be carried out, so that it can be fully arranged.
Hearing this, the adjutant general on the side said, "General, maybe they don't." ”
"How is that possible?"
Lan Yue shook her head: "They definitely have, it's just that so far, Ben doesn't know where they are." ”
"Inform all regiments not to act rashly, and wait for the people to expose their firepower before launching a full-scale attack."
"No."
The lieutenant replied and turned to leave.
Lan Yue's thoughts are the same as Wang Xu's, one doesn't want to expose his firepower in advance, while the other expects his opponent to expose his firepower, and then he will prescribe the right medicine.
I have to say that Blue Moon is a good commander, although there are only 10,000 people, but it is not to be underestimated.
The reason why he handed Tian Liang over to the Chinese military account last night was not to blame the other party, but to put pressure on people, so that Tian Liang's attack today would be more violent, so that the enemy would be more likely to expose his firepower.
It's just that no one knows this idea, only Blue Moon herself knows it.
........
The battle continued until dark, at this time Tian Liang's troops had been completely lost, and the second regiment took over the main attack task, but at the same time, everyone had also attacked to a height of 1,000 meters and had reached Wang Xu's second line of defense.
Until now, Wang Xu has not used those two artillery regiments, and he has always firmly believed that it will be of great use to keep them. Maybe that's the difference between victory and defeat.
The two artillery regiments were powerful at the same time, which was enough to destroy everything, which made Wang Xu have to pay attention.
"Hit, fire!"
The commander of the second regiment relayed. Keep attacking.
At this time, Lan Yue, who was standing in the rear, was puzzled.
"No, is it true that the enemy does not have artillery? I think they must have two artillery regiments, and the Shadow has already sent someone to say it, and these two artillery regiments are hoarded in the mountains. You can't go wrong. ”
The adjutant general said: "General, in fact, it's good to attack like this, haven't we already attacked the top of the mountain?" ”
"You know what? This is only temporary, and if the enemy uses artillery, our previous efforts will be in vain. ”
The adjutant general thought about it and nodded, but he reacted again in an instant: "Then general, let's hurry up and support, otherwise won't the soldiers of the first regiment die in vain?" ”
"No hurry, wait." Lan Yue said, "I want to see it." How long can the enemy endure. ”
The adjutant did not say anything, for him, it was enough to obey orders.
.........
The battle did not stop until it was out of sight at night, and the second regiment under Lan Yue occupied a small half of the mountaintop, and then camped in place, as for Wang Xu's two artillery regiments, they were still hidden in the ravine on both sides, and they were well hidden, and they could be put into battle at any time if needed.
Wang Xu, Zhang Meng, Ye Minyan, Fu Xu. The four of them were sitting in the headquarters, Wang Xu looked at the map in front of him, his face was sad, and he was a little hesitant now. I don't know if I should use two artillery battalions, if I do, I will definitely be able to directly destroy the second regiment of the enemy army that climbed up the mountain, but at the same time, I will also expose my own firepower.
This is a difficult decision, and Wang Xu is very difficult.
"Your Majesty, or... Or order the artillery battalion to return fire? ”
Fusu said on the side.
Zhang Meng said: "I don't think it's okay without an artillery regiment." Let's use cavalry, I personally lead the team, and I will definitely be able to catch them off guard. ”
As soon as Zhang Meng finished speaking, Wang Xu nodded, which was exactly what he thought in his heart, now that the enemy has climbed to the top of the mountain, it is best to use cavalry to quickly break through the enemy's defensive line.
"Well, maybe it will work wonders, but you can't go."
Wang Xu said.
Zhang Meng frowned: "Why?" ”
"Have you forgotten what your mission is? You are a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, and your duty is to protect my safety, how can you personally charge into battle. ”
"But... Big brother, I haven't fought for a long time. ”
When he said this, Zhang Meng rubbed his hands, very excited, he was not a peaceful person, and killing the enemy in battle was his favorite thing to do.
However, Wang Xu doesn't think so, modern weapons are more powerful than cold weapons, even if he is a military general as powerful as Zhang Meng, he may capsize in the gutter, Zhang Xue is dead, Wang Xu doesn't want Zhang Meng also...
If that's the case, Zhang Xue won't be at peace under Jiuquan.
"You don't need to say it, I won't agree, I will send someone else for the cavalry raid, and your task is to garrison the headquarters."
Wang Xu said.
.........
In the middle of the night.
After receiving Wang Xu's order, the deputy general of the 1,000 cavalry gathered all the cavalry on the mountain, a total of 1,000.
Originally, there should be five thousand, but the area on this mountain is too small, and it is a trouble to feed it, so Wang Xu put the remaining four thousand elite horses in the nearest city to the west of the mountain, according to which there are still a hundred miles away.
A thousand people, although not much, but to destroy hundreds of enemies, it is still competent, plus send a regiment to help, it should be no problem.
That night, 1,000 elite cavalry were transferred to the headquarters, accompanied by the 2nd Regiment, a total of 3,000 men to attack the enemy's garrison.
Coming to a position five hundred meters outside the enemy's tent, Fu Xu said in a low voice: "Listen, this time is a surprise attack, only success, not failure!" ”
"Wait a minute, first use two red-coated cannons to blow open the enemy's gate, and then the cavalry will surprise and go straight to the enemy's tent, while the second regiment, following behind, will carry out a dragnet attack, and not miss an enemy."
"Yes."
.....
After the task was arranged, Fu Xuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, let's start acting." ”
"No."
In the night, the figures approached, and the soldiers guarding the village were drowsy and did not notice.
In the big tent of the Chinese army in the enemy camp, Jing Yan, the commander of the second regiment, was lying on his back, he did not dare to fall asleep, he had been in a state of fake sleep, after the daytime battle, he had seen Wang Xujun's fierce attack, in order to prevent the enemy from robbing the camp, Jing Yan was in strict formation.
Suddenly, Jing Yan heard two earth-shattering gunshots outside the tent, he turned over and got up, and strode out of the tent: "What's the matter? ”
"Report..."
A soldier quickly ran up: "Regiment commander, the enemy cavalry is coming." ”
Jing Yan was taken aback: "Don't panic, everyone separates, don't get together." ”
"Yes."
The soldier nodded, and turned to give the order, while Jing Yan turned around and entered the account, his own weapon, but by the time he took it out, Fusu's cavalry had already arrived.
The camp of hundreds of people did not even have a mile of land, and the cavalry arrived in the blink of an eye, and there was no time to make any reaction. (To be continued.) )
