Chapter 147: The War in Guangdong (3)

An hour, two hours, three hours, and four hours passed, Zhang Shuo's mood became more and more impetuous, how could there be no Zhenwu Army to sneak attack the barracks, this is not in line with his own thoughts!

It was almost dawn, Zhang Shuo couldn't hold on any longer, he could only order the army to rest, otherwise it was not impossible to cause a mutiny among the soldiers, you must know that dozens of people were really killed last night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the officers and soldiers were given the order to sleep, they all sat down and fell asleep in an instant, and many of them were snorting.

What the Qing army did last night was really incomprehensible, and it only showed that Zhang Shuo was too confident and thought he knew Zhenwu Army very well, but he didn't expect this result.

Last night was no less than a disaster for the entire Qing army, and it was very huge for the physical consumption or mental torture. It's definitely not something that can be recovered in a day or two.

The Qing army fell asleep, but what they didn't know was that the Zhenwu army, which was ten miles away, had begun to move.

At the request of Song Naruto, the Zhenwu army went to bed early last night, got up early today, and after breakfast, the army began to advance towards the camp of the Qing army.

Along the way, the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army and the recruits of the government soldiers were all full of energy, and the neat pace, and the creaking sound of the cars pulling the artillery was a wonderful rhythm in everyone's ears.

All the soldiers were full of confidence, and they felt that as long as they followed the instructions of their superiors, they would be able to do a perfect job and beat the Tartars to the ground.

An hour later, the Zhenwu army was only two miles away from the Qing army's camp, and Song Naruto immediately ordered all the troops to form a military formation and slowly march towards the enemy camp.

At a distance of five hundred meters, the enemy did not react, although Song Naruto was very puzzled, but he was very excited in his heart, then it will be two hundred meters later, if the enemy still does not react, I am afraid that this time he will receive an unexpected harvest.

Sure enough, as the Zhenwu army advanced, the enemy did not react in the slightest, and finally when the Zhenwu army was only two hundred meters away from the enemy camp, the Qing army did not react at all, but Song Naruto and the army were happy in their hearts.

Then Naruto Song decisively ordered the artillery to prepare to start loading the guns, and all the gunners were very excited and immediately carried out the brigade commander's order. The artillerymen were very skillful in starting to operate, and soon they were all ready, and they quietly waited for Naruto Song's order.

Naruto Song kept an eye on the preparations of the gunners, and when Naruto Song found that the gunners were all ready, he immediately ordered all three hundred guns to be fired.

Hundreds of shells flew towards the enemy camp like meteors, and in their sleep the Qing army only heard earth-shattering explosions, and even some soldiers were killed directly in their sleep.

This scene, so that the enemy army was not mentally prepared at all, all the soldiers needed were awakened from their sleep, they panicked, many soldiers were at a loss, in the panic they could only get up and hold their weapons, ready to fight.

But they didn't know where the enemy was, and they were in a hurry. Of course, Zhang Shuo was also awakened by the earth-shattering cannon, and his heart was extremely shocked, what the hell is going on?

Zhang Shuo immediately called the guards, and in a panic, the guards put on armor for Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo immediately sounded the trumpet and ordered the army to assemble and prepare for battle.

However, since all the soldiers did not sleep well last night, both speed and condition were much worse, and all the generals began to quickly assemble their troops after hearing the sound of artillery.

The Qing army began to assemble quickly in panic, but the shells of the Zhenwu army still fell mercilessly in the barracks, and even worse, they fell directly into the crowd, and dozens of people died in an instant.

In just a few minutes, the Qing army camp had already exploded, and many parts of the camp were devastated and miserable.

Naruto Song estimated that it was almost done, and immediately ordered an army of 30,000 to press up against the enemy camp from the front and west.

The weather had just brightened in the morning, and the sun had not yet risen, and at this time, the Fourth Brigade and the government soldiers and recruits had all advanced rapidly towards the enemy camp under the command of Song Naruto.

Dozens of soldiers came out of the gate of the Qing army camp one after another to check the enemy's situation, and they looked at such a huge army and hurriedly ran away, but most of them still failed to escape the guns.

The Qing soldiers who ran in immediately began to shout loudly, "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, and there are many enemy ......."

But it was too late at this time, but the speed at which Song Naruto led the army was very fast, and in less than a minute, the front army had already attacked the enemy camp.

The reason why the Zhenwu army attacked the enemy camp so easily was not because Zhang Shuo misjudged the military situation? Who is to blame for all this? The Zhenwu army attacked the enemy camp from both the front and the west.

At this time, the enemy army had not yet been assembled, and many of them could not find their generals, and the generals did not know their soldiers. In a normal attack, the Qing soldiers will generally spend about half an hour to assemble and adjust the team.

The soldiers of the Zhenwu Army who attacked the enemy camp were tantamount to wolves entering the flock and immediately launched a crazy slaughter against the Qing army. At this time, the Zhenwu army was a whole against zero, and the more attacked less, because the Qing army could not gather together to fight all at once.

Zhang Shuo was like an ant on a hot pot at this time, in a hurry, at a loss, walking around the camp, how could this be, as a general of the unified army. In this case, it is clearly not in line with the appearance of a supreme commander. But Zhang Shuo really had no choice, because he had already given the order, but it was impossible for the general and other low-ranking officers to gather the army for a while.

The wait is often long, especially in this case, Zhang Shuo is very anxious, he can only continue to wait, although every minute and every second there are Qing soldiers killed by the other party, but at this time the army is not assembled, Zhang Shuo and several generals can only watch coldly.

It can't be said that they are ruthless, in fact, at this time they can't do anything except wait for the army to be assembled, so let them fight with hundreds of guards? It's not realistic.

As time passed, the Qing army's army was finally assembled, and they drove to the middle of the camp, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Zhenwu army, because they had received the news that the Zhenwu army had advanced for almost two miles. In this time, the Qing army had almost lost more than 5,000 people, which was a relatively terrible number.

Song Naruto also got the Qing army's approach, but he sneered in his heart, the Qing army was obviously looking for death by doing this. This is because Zhang Shuo does not really know enough about the Zhenwu Army, and in this kind of almost positional warfare, no army is the opponent of the Zhenwu Army. (To be continued.) )
