"Quick, go out of the city and pursue, you can't let them go south."

Hearing this, the adjutant general said: "General, we are all infantry troops, they are elephant soldiers, elephant soldiers are infinitely powerful in field battles, we. We're just afraid we won't be able to beat it. ”

"So what do you think we should do?"

"This..." The adjutant general also made a mistake for a while: "The last general doesn't know." ”

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Gu Li turned and walked down the city wall.

.....

Soaring City.

Sun Yu's arrival made the confidence of all the generals unprecedentedly high, and everyone was full of expectations for the next battle.

After waiting for a few days, Wang Xu also began to think about the Eastern Expedition, now that Sun Yu has come, the strength of the front line has reached the highest peak, and the enemy, now only two or three hundred thousand horses, if the strength is compared, he is full of twice as many as the other party, and the odds of victory are very great.

There's never been a better time!

Wang Xu held a meeting to discuss the entry into the army.

Ye Xiong, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, knew the situation of the enemy army very well, and said at this time: "Your Majesty, Yang Mingyue's army has been digging ditches and building walled walls in the past few days, trying to block our army's eastward movement. ”

Liao Yun said: "What Lord Ye said is extremely true, the harm of using soldiers starts from suspicion, we must make up our minds to fight to the death with the enemy, and as soon as possible, lest Yang Mingyue react and make full preparations, and then it will be difficult to clean up." ”

"Don't worry, I just want him to dig a good trench and build a wall; Our army has hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, which can fill in the river and cross the river, how can the trenches be stopped? No matter how high his wall is, can it withstand the bombardment of my red-coated cannon? I just want him to divide his troops and garrison them, and then consume his forces. ”

Wang Xu said: "Yang Mingyue's mind is not to use the tall and strong wall to consume the strength of our army and delay time, I want to see who consumes whose troops." ”

What Wang Xu said is not unreasonable, but it is an exaggeration. Just imagine, if Yang Mingyue really dug a deep trench, it would still be a little troublesome for the army to cross over, plus the enemy sniped in sections. There are equally powerful artillery, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat in real battles.

Ye Xiong said: "There are several roads to the East, but the only ones that can pass through the army are the official roads. Yang Mingyue dug up the official road, and we had to fight it, although it took a long time, but there was no way. ”

Suddenly, Fu Xu said: "Your Majesty, can we take the path, the path is not only close, but also there is no enemy army to block us, we can go straight to the rear of the enemy army." ”

"No, no." Wang Xu vetoed: "The path is narrow, and it is difficult to march. In addition, our army is almost all field troops, and the most feared thing is the wide avenue, if you take the small road, it is precisely their plan, the small road must have a large number of artillery ambushes, our army will be even more difficult to win. ”

After a pause, Wang Xu continued: "The Eastern Expedition is a century-old cause, and our army should take a flat road and march step by step. Don't seek a quick victory, just seek to be invincible in a hundred battles, although Yang Mingyue is cunning, as long as we deal with it carefully. You can definitely win. ”

"Do you have faith?"

"Yes!"

.。。

Everyone shouted loudly.

Wang Xu said: "Okay, next, I will arrange the distribution of the expedition, and in two days, I will launch a general attack on the enemy." The officers and men of all departments need to kill the enemy bravely, not to break the Eastern Army, and vow not to return to the court. ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xu began to appoint generals such as the vanguard, the middle army, and the rear army, as well as how to attack the enemy army, which was arranged for half an hour.

Zheng Li's subordinates are all troops who are good at attacking cities, so he has 100,000 people, mainly responsible for attacking cities and villages, and Zheng Li is the vanguard.

Sun Yu and Fukangan have a total of 280,000 elite cavalry, which is the Chinese army, which is personally led by Wang Xu, and Sun Yu and Fukangan are the main generals.

Liao Yun and Fu Xu are the rear army, one transports grain and grass, and the other is broken; Of course, this is only temporary, if you need troops, you can also say that the two of them were transferred to the front army to face the battle, with Wang Xu's current military strength, there is no weak brigade at all, so these more than 500,000 people can be used as the main force and as the vanguard.

....。。

The 500,000 troops marched eastward, and arrived at the first camp three days later, which was two hundred miles away from Qianzhu Mountain, and was the first place for Yang Mingyue to resist the soldiers and horses of the Holy Dynasty.

The name of the camp is called Tiger Roar, and the Tiger Roar Village is ten miles wide, and there are 10,000 elite stationed in it, all of which are Yu Yuan's subordinates.

In front of this walled gate, there is a ditch with a width of five zhang, this kind of trench has exceeded the power that the pontoon bridge can carry, even if Wang Xu moves the pontoon bridge, he can not get by, can only rely on filling sandbags, slowly fill up.

Being able to dig such a wide trench also shows that the soldiers guarding the village have done their best and have the determination to fight to the death with the enemy.

Around noon.

Wang Xu led the army to arrive, and took Zhang Meng and Ye Minyan to follow Zheng Li to the front, and from a distance, the enemy was fully prepared, and more than a dozen red-clothed cannons visited the walled gate, and the banner of the eastern capital fluttered in the wind, and it was majestic.

"What a tiger roaring village, tall and mighty, and extraordinary!" Wang Xu sighed.

Zheng Li said: "That. . Shall we still fight? ”

"Of course I want to attack, go and call Fu Xu, transfer the artillery battalion to me, aim at the enemy's front camp, and give him a ton of explosives first, if you can't kill her, you can scare him to death."

Wang Xu Bingran said with a smile.

Zheng Li arched his hand and turned around to transfer troops, in a battle of this level, his vanguard army is really not good, and it must have a strong artillery battalion in order to deter the enemy; Thinking about the battle of Qianzhu Mountain, the power of the artillery battalion is still fresh in my memory, which makes people shudder.

After a while, the ninth regiment, that is, the artillery regiment, a thousand red-clothed cannons were pushed out, and Fu Xu patted his horse and came: "Your Majesty, the artillery regiment has been transferred, do you want to attack?" ”

"How many explosives do we have?"

Fu Xu thought for a while and said: "It's not much, there are only two tons left, but Lord Jia is transporting it to the front line, and it will arrive in three days, and we will have five tons of explosives by then, don't worry." ”

"Okay, then blow it up for me, first destroy the enemy's ten cannons, and then attack without a target until you run out of a ton of explosives."

"No."

..

On the wall of the wall in the distance, Qin Ling, the general guarding the wall, held his long sword tightly, looked into the distance with a telescope in his hand, and when he saw countless red-clothed cannons being pushed out, he was immediately frightened.

"Quick, fire at me, don't let them come close."

Judging from the entire battlefield, the distance between the two armies is 1,500 meters, and as soon as Wang Xu's red-coated cannon is launched, he must advance a thousand meters before he can shoot the cannonball into the enemy's camp, but at the same time, the enemy's ten red-coated cannons will also attack, because the distance between the two is the same, with a range of 500 meters.

But compared to the number of thousands of cannons, ten is too little, it is simply not enough, Fu Xu Li ignored it, and directly ordered to move on.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

There were ten loud bangs in a row, and suddenly, ten bombs exploded in the Fuxu artillery regiment, when even a dozen red-coated cannons were destroyed, and the soldiers, more than 30 people died, this loss was expected, Fuxu gritted his teeth and let the artillery regiment continue to advance.

When it was only three hundred meters away, it suddenly stopped.

"Set the Yuan."

"Ready!"

"Fire!"

Boom Boom Boom !!

On the walled gate, ten red-coated cannons were blown up at the same time, and the walled wall turned into powder with a bang; Tens of thousands of soldiers worked hard to build the Tiger Roar Village for ten days, and half of it was damaged at this moment, which can be described as vulnerable.

"Quick, back off."

Qin Ling took three steps and made two steps, turned around and fled, however, a cannonball came and landed right in front of him, black smoke filled the air, and the wooden gate burst into flames, cutting off Qin Ling's escape path.

Boom Boom Boom !!

The sound of the cannon has no intention of stopping, and it continues.

Wang Xu nodded again and again as he looked below, with such powerful firepower, he was afraid that he would not be able to destroy the enemy, and believed that victory was not far away.

Tiger Roaring Village was a strong fortification built by the enemy for ten days, but at this moment, everything came to naught, which made people wonder.

The battle here was also noticed by Cai Wenzhuo and others in Beijun, and the Holy Dynasty was all subdued, and Cai Wenzhuo was even more convinced of what he thought in his heart, he must be friendly with the Holy Dynasty and not become an enemy.

You can't go against the Holy Dynasty for at least ten years, otherwise it will be like the current Eastern Capital, which seems to be a powerful force, but in front of Wang Xu, it is vulnerable.

"Prime Minister, should we send troops to help Wang Xu, so that we can befriend him."

"Don't rush, it's useless to go now?"

"What do you mean?"

Cai Wenzhuo said: "It's better to send a bowl of soup when people are poor, than to send 10,000 taels of gold when others are rich." ”

"Wang Xu is now carrying the 500,000 Eastern Expedition of the Great Victorious Army, and the limelight is strong, even if we send 300,000 troops to help, he will not be grateful to us, if he is in trouble, it is best when life is small, even if we go to 3,000 troops to help, she will be grateful, do you understand?"

Zhu Aoqing nodded, this is very meaningful, it is true, but he is a little worried: "Prime Minister, Wang Xu is so powerful, how can he be in trouble, I think the victory of the Holy Dynasty army is imminent." ”

Cai Wenzhuo said: "You underestimate the Eastern Capital too much, although their strength is not as good as that of the Holy Dynasty, but it is no problem to win one or two battles, and when we make another move, it will definitely be better than now." ”

"Prime Minister Gao Jian."

Zhu Aoqing smiled. (To be continued.) )
