Chapter 90 Defeat

Many people didn't expect that Ouyang Qing would choose to attack in three ways, and Ye Xianze, as the main force of the West Iron Armor, could only rush to the scene as soon as possible.

It was General Vasil who attacked Xizhou, and for their tactics, Ye Xianze chose a defensive posture, but he never expected that the enemy's siege artillery was so powerful, and a big hole was opened all of a sudden.

Although he immediately counterattacked with artillery, neither the danger nor the range was the opponent's opponent, and after a round of fire, the wall of the eastern city was opened, and General Vasil ordered an attack, and a group of people with muskets rushed over.

Ye Xianze asked the people around him to line up, as soon as they came in, it was a row of bursts, and those musketeers who rushed to the front obviously didn't expect the enemy to use such an attack, and finally became cannon fodder.

However, after seeing the people in the first row fall, the people behind them all learned well and shot at the hole, Ye Xianze didn't expect the musket to be so dangerous, and the people on his side fell in pieces under the cross-fire.

He could only let everyone hide on both sides, and it was not okay to clash with their weapons, he had never fought such a humiliating battle.

After firing a series of muskets, and finding that there was no enemy, the soldiers all pushed and refused to go in, but at the urging of the non-commissioned officer, they poured in, and the next time they came in was death, as long as it was a white-knuckle battle, they were confident that they would solve them.

But those people threw a round thing in, and Ye Xianze hurriedly shouted: "Run, it's the enemy's improved gunpowder explosion." ”

Under Ye Xianze's urging, some people ran away, but those who didn't have time to run were all blown to pieces.

He knew that the equipment of the two armies was too poor, and the only choice was to retreat, but there were still civilians in the city, so they could only fight and retreat, from the beginning of the frontal confrontation, to the streets and alleys of the battle.

Ye Xianze led the troops to ambush near the street, just waiting for the moment they walked in, it was a round of shooting, and he tightened the sword in his hand, but he didn't expect that they had just solved the soldiers who stepped into the trap, and the enemy behind surrounded their location.

Fortunately, they had already dispersed their troops, and under their harassment, the encirclement of the enemy army could not be formed at all.

But the price he paid was twice as much as the enemy, "Dongcheng can't hold it anymore, Liu Gui, you take people to go first." ”

Liu Gui was removed from his post before, and after he was reinstated, he immediately thought of him and brought him over, also because he felt that he was a reliable person.

Although he gave the order, Liu Gui refused to leave, he roared angrily: "Listen to the order, leave immediately, I will cut off." ”

Liu Gui had no choice but to leave from behind with someone, and Ye Xianze also waited until the troops slowly withdrew and left, but when he left, he grabbed a musket and wanted to take it back to study, so Dongcheng fell in just one day.

Ye Xianze had no choice but to take the remnants of the troops and hide in the mountains, which also cut off the path of the enemy's advance.

On the other side, with the cooperation of Shangguan Mingtian and Zhuge Yu, they were rejected at Tianmen Pass, but Ouyang Qing obviously did not deal with it so simply, although he made it clear that he wanted to attack Tianmen Pass, but in fact, he transferred the main force to attack Fengzhou.

Zhang Yunyi was caught off guard and retreated to Yecheng, but when he left, he burned the entire city, leaving nothing useful for the enemy.

For their transnational warfare, the most important thing is to feed the war with war, because the Austrian country is only a small country, and the grain and grass of its own country are simply not enough to support them in a long-term war.

Although they have a car that can save time and distance, but the mountain road from the Austrian country to this side is rugged, and the weather here is very bad, the best way for them is to fight to support the war, Zhang Yunyi also knows this, so he decided not to leave them at all.

Because of this, Ouyang Qing decided to postpone the march, and he felt that he would adjust his strategy.

Ye Xianze saw that the soldiers were all depressed on the mountain, and he felt very worried, the enemy army had beaten them to the point that they had no morale, if this continued, the next battle would not be able to continue.

Vasil felt that Ye Xianze was just a piece of garbage, and he didn't care about it at all, maybe for him, no matter who came, he could still solve him.

The news of the total defeat of the three armies was a huge blow to them, and although it prevented their attack, it was not happy.

Ye Xianze looked at the musket for a few minutes, and then took out the musket next to him to compare, only to find that the new musket was superior to the old musket in terms of power, accuracy and range.

However, even if there are skilled craftsmen who can rush out of the work, they cannot be put into mass production immediately, and the current military situation is tense, this method is simply impossible to achieve.

But after thinking about it, it occurred to him that if he snatched the enemy's ordnance, wouldn't it be much better than studying it himself?

He pulled Liu Gui and said: "Now, I have a plan, we will attack the military camp at night and rob their ordnance, and if we can't rob it, we will burn it." ”

Liu Gui also hesitated about the boldness of this plan, after all, with the current state of the soldiers, it may not be realistic to go to the night attack, and now without knowing the enemy's personnel allocation and ordnance location, it may be counterproductive to rashly sneak attack.

So Liu Gui said: "No, I hope the general will consider this matter carefully, after all, we don't know the enemy's situation at all, for the sake of safety, let's fight steadily!"

Although Ye Xianze knew the situation in front of him, he knew that he had no other way except for the advantage of the surprise soldier.

Vasil is an arrogant person, tonight for this big victory, he drank with the soldiers to celebrate, there is no defense at all, if Ye Xianze really acts according to the plan, he can take back Dongcheng.

But he had already missed this opportunity, although he wanted to send a suitable sentry, but there was no suitable candidate, so he decided to go in person, but Liu Gui took the initiative to take this responsibility.

And he stayed to appease the people, looking at the dark night, he only felt a sense of depression.

Not only him, but even the soldiers, time passed minute by minute, and when Liu Gui came back, the soldiers were warming each other over the fire, and the night on the mountain was too cold.

Liu Gui said: "I just went to find out, they have repaired the wall of Dongcheng, but it is newly built, if we go down the mountain one step earlier, maybe we can recapture Dongcheng." ”

Ye Xianze only felt a headache, but he didn't expect this great opportunity to be missed like this.

Liu Gui said: "It's all my fault, and I lost this opportunity in vain." ”

"I don't blame you, you also fulfilled the duties of a deputy general, you are right, I really didn't think about it comprehensively, if there is a problem in the troops, then the responsibility is all on me. ”

"Of course, we still have hope of victory, we are local natives, no one knows the terrain better than us, and we will use the advantage of the mountains to catch them off guard. ”

Ye Xianze analyzed: "If they want to march, they must pass through this mountain, and then we will ambush at the pass, no matter how powerful they are, we will also bury the dead brothers." ”

Although it was such a plan, Ye Xianze felt a little uneasy, if he took a long detour to attack Wancheng directly, it was also possible, everything could only be assumed, after all, he didn't know the opponent at all.

When Vasil didn't know him either, in his opinion, Ye Xianze would have already run back to Xizhou, and he wouldn't have thought of attacking by a detour at all, although Ouyang Qing had already written a secret letter, asking his soldiers to hurry up and be sure to hand it over to Vasil, and the content of the letter was also a detour to attack.

But when Vasil received the letter, it was already time for him to be defeated, and that's for later.

In short, before dawn, Ye Xianze had already deployed everything, just waiting for Vasir's arrival, he wanted to show him the tactics of the Western Iron Armor Country.

Vasil is not in a hurry to send troops, for him victory is just a gesture, pleasure is the most important thing, Ye Xianze did not expect him to be such a general, they have not eaten from last night to this morning, although they have gone to the nearest city to get it, but it will arrive in two days, even he is hungry.

Vashir, of course, did not know about this, he was eating and drinking in the eastern city, and although his men tried to dissuade him from attacking immediately, he refused, his reasoning was, "It is only a matter of time before I deal with a rabble, and the most important thing is that I must be prepared." ”

For his shamelessness, his subordinates have understood, but there is no way, after all, the identity is different.

At this moment, Ye Xianze made an important decision.
