Chapter 299: Taniguchi's Fierce Battle (I)
The valley was full of fog, Li Zicheng and others, who were in charge of exploring the way, cautiously moved forward in front, Zhang Xianzhong responded in the middle, and Gao Yingxiang led the army to press the formation in the rear. The whole army www.biquge.info of more than 100,000 people, like a long dragon, stretches for nearly ten miles, from Yangliugou to the drum platform.
Seeing that the vanguard of the Liukou had crossed the drum platform and marched towards the county river, Wang Pu couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The drum platform is only more than ten miles to the county river, and after crossing the county river, it is necessary to enter the carriage gorge. According to the current marching speed and the long line of the Liukou, once the Liukou discovers a clue, then Liu Fan's plan to lure the enemy will be in vain.
We must find a way to solve this problem, and at the moment, Wang Pu couldn't care about hiding, and hurriedly led people down the mountain to Gaojiapo, where the third battalion of the Broken Army was ambushed.
Gaojiapo is less than five miles away from the county river, and is the last line of defense leading to the Fengqiao Bridge at the entrance of the Carriage Gorge, and the Breaker Army set up an ambush here, the purpose of which is to disrupt the marching sequence of the Liukou before the Liukou enter the Carriage Gorge, confuse the public, and attract the attention of the Liukou.
Seeing Wang Pu's sudden arrival, Yu Shan, the commander of the third battalion, was also shocked, and asked with a puzzled face, "General Wang, what are you doing when you are not in front of you to attract the attention of the rogues and come to me?" ”
Wang Pu was at a loss, and only after half a sound did he say embarrassedly, "That Yu battalion officer, just now our department launched two small-scale attacks on the Liukou according to the plan. But he didn't expect the rogue to react super quickly, and immediately divided a large group of cavalry to attack the brother who was responsible for intercepting in front. Seeing that the situation was not good, I asked my brothers to withdraw first. Now the Liukou has crossed the drum platform and is coming in the direction of Gaojiapo! That's why I want to take my brothers and Yu Yingguan to join together to stop the rogue! ”
With Wang Pu's words, Yu Shan's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and by the time Wang Pu finished speaking, he was already furious. As a middle-level officer of the Broken Army, Yu Shan didn't have a good impression of Wang Pu and the others, but now seeing that they couldn't even do this little thing, he was even more disdainful in his heart, and unceremoniously ordered, "Wang Shen will come in the future, can I still drive you away?" The Overseers were ordered to lead all the rogues into the Carriage Gap in Dogridge. This is the last line of defense, and it looks like we're going to have to fight it on our backs. General Wang, your troops will go down the mountain now, and be responsible for facing the Liukou head-on in the valley. I took three battalions of men and horses to ambush on the mountain, and when the signal came, we acted together to give the rogues a dismount! ”
Wang Pu's face changed, the anger in his heart rolled, Yu Shan's indifferent expression, and unceremonious orders deeply touched Wang Pu's self-esteem, according to the rank, Wang Pu and Liu Fan were at the same level, although Chongzhen's order was under Liu Fan, but he was also a general, a serious military attache of the imperial court, and the leader of the four thousand Beijing battalions. Where does such an identity go, it is not flattered and lifted. But it's good here, a small battalion officer, who doesn't have the title of guerrilla, dares to give orders to him. At this moment, Wang Pu doubted for the first time, was it right or wrong to follow Liu Fan all the way to the dark?
But Wang Pu knew that now was not the time to be angry, and he couldn't show the slightest discoloration, otherwise it would be even more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Broken Army in the future. Taking a deep breath, Wang Pu forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, Wang Pu was neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Rest assured, Officer Yu, since my brother in Jingying has taken over this task, he will definitely be responsible to the end." Facing it head-on, our department is duty-bound. But Wang still has one more thing to ask for, I want to ask the battalion officer to transfer the artillery team to me for use, I don't know if it is feasible? ”
Yu Shan's heart chuckled, how did he know? In addition to the artillery battalion directly under Liu Fan, each battalion also has its own artillery team, equipped with a total of five three-pounder guns and 20 tiger squat guns, which are mainly used for small-scale offensive battles. This was specially allocated by Liu Fan when he was in Chenggu in order to facilitate the extermination of the bandit cottage. Yu Shan has always regarded the artillery team as a treasure in his heart, and he easily refused to use it. It stands to reason that when they suppressed the bandits, Wang Pu should not know anything about them in Hanzhong City, right?
When Yu Shan was full of hesitation, Wang Pu added a fire again and said, "Officer Yu, you have to do a full set of plays, my army is known for its sharp firearms, if there is no firearm to help, even if we play well, I'm afraid the rogue will not believe it, so not only the artillery team, but also your musket team will also lend me a favor!" ”
"Here you go! It's all for you! Yu Shan gritted his teeth and said, Wang Pu's words were high-sounding and Yu Shan could refute it, Yu Shan had to focus on the overall situation at the moment, and agreed to Wang Pu's request. But after eating this dumb like this, Yu Shan was a little unwilling, and hurriedly admonished, "General Wang, let's talk ugly ahead, I can lend you people, and you can use whatever you want, but after you use it, you must return it to me in its original form!" Our third battalion has this little belongings, if you lose it, my third battalion will have a good life! ”
Wang Pu laughed, his heart was full of pride, he patted Yu Shan's shoulder with a smile and said, "Officer Yu Yingguan really understands the righteousness, and Officer Yu can rest assured, as long as there is a little possibility, Wang will definitely protect the artillery team!" But then again, this battlefield has no eyes, no one can guarantee what will happen, if it is really unfortunate to be taken away by the rogue, brother, I can't help it, right? After speaking, he didn't look at Yu Shan's ugly face, and strode down the mountain.
With the addition of the artillery team and the musket team, Wang Pu's confidence is obviously sufficient. In the valley below Gaojiapo, Wang Pu led the men and horses of the Beijing camp to meet the enemy at the narrow valley mouth at the southern end of the valley, and the artillery team behind him reached the predetermined position, and the cannon muzzle of the black hole hole was aimed at an open space in front of the valley. The entire Beijing camp and the Broken Army are in full array, quietly waiting for the arrival of the rogue!
This section of Gaojiapo is one of the several wide valleys in the eastern section of the whole Phoenix Mountain, the north and south of the canyon are more than five miles wide, the terrain in the valley is flat, the terrain is relatively open, and it is very suitable for the deployment of cavalry. The reason why Wang Pu and Yu Shan chose this place as the last ambush site was to hold back the vanguard of the Liukou in this place, so that they could have time to gather the army together. Otherwise, if the rogues were to hold on to the dragon, they wouldn't be able to wipe them out.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a black cavalry broke through the dense fog and appeared in the field of vision of Wang Pu and the others. The sound of horses' hooves became louder and louder, and the enemy army was getting closer and closer to Wang Pu's camp. Liukou's figure became clearer and clearer, and when the two armies were less than five hundred paces apart, Wang Pu shouted, "Open fire!" ”
The scorching projectile pierced through the dense fog and fell from the sky with a sharp whistle, and the projectile with a powerful impact force smashed the Liukou people and horses into minced meat, and the stumps and broken arms flew all over the sky, and the sound of violent explosions sounded in the ears.
Ambushed again! The thought arose in unison for all the rogues (to be continued.) )
