Chapter 0347 - Reduced to a Laughing Stock

When the sky was bright, Han Zhiping led a regiment and the scout battalion to successfully capture Baishanshu, because the defenders were camped in the fort, and no one escaped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The small number of troops at the outpost outside Fort Info faced most of the Zhou army, and they almost didn't even have a chance to escape.

There was no time for breakfast, so Han Zhiping immediately sent fast cavalry to report back to the main force behind, and at the same time drove out all the prisoners of war and disarmed them, tied them up in a long line and imprisoned them in the barracks, found one of the small thousand household chiefs and their assistants and interrogated them, and learned that there were only 1,000 soldiers stationed in Anguo Town, thirty miles to the west.

Han Zhiping's mind suddenly became active, and he summoned a group of officers to discuss, and everyone agreed to take advantage of the victory to attack and take it by surprise. Because the nearest Anguo Town of the enemy army is thirty miles, and the second is even farther away from the garrison city, even if the Ma army wants to rescue, it will be too late.

The main function of the scout battalion is to explore the way, and attacking the fortification is just an additional task, so Han Zhiping stayed behind to garrison it, and led the soldiers of his headquarters to rest for a while, and then set off again after breakfast, and rushed to Anguo Town with only light siege equipment such as wooden ladders.

Thirty miles during the day was no challenge for the soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army, and everyone ran and walked as children, and they arrived outside Anguo Town in the middle of the day. Because of the preparation for war, the dilapidated Zhangduo high wall has been repaired, and the garrison at the head of the wall has been notified by the people on the outskirts of the town, holding knives and guns to defend the wall. But the discipline did not look very good, the equipment appeared to be uneven, and the weapons used were not of the regular standard.

Han Zhiping lined up with two battalions or so, and a thousand soldiers lined up into ten small phalanxes to form two large phalanxes.

"Do you think you can attack directly?" Han Zhiping looked at Zhang Zhixing, the senator of the regiment, a little flattering, but in fact, he looked down on it in his heart. Zhang Zhixing was the first to follow the commander's personal command, and only then did he become a regimental senator and a lieutenant of Zhenwu, and the scattered officers of Zong Jingcheng, Xue Wenqian and others were added to the guerrilla generals.

"Absolutely! If we are replaced, we will not want to take 2,000 soldiers! Zhang Zhixing is quite confident, his words are simple, and the expression on his face is also a little rigid, less cringe and honest back then.

"Huh? You have eyesight! Han Zhiping was a little surprised, and laughed: "This town is located on flat land, there is no danger around, the size is only more than three miles, and the garrison of 1,000 soldiers is a little crowded, so we will press it at once!" ā€

"There's no hurry! After the war, these Tibetan people will also be included in the governance, and I will first come forward to shout and surrender to try, and it will not be too late to fight if I don't surrender! Deputy Senator Shang Hua Qingdao said that the Senate is doing this kind of political work, which is within the scope of its authority.

"Then you can try it......" Han Zhiping nodded indispensably, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, obviously not optimistic.

Shang Huaqing took ten cavalry soldiers to fight horses and marched forward, a hundred steps away from the wall of the town, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the thief army on the wall, you and other people have been attached to the Great Zhou, that is the people of the Great Zhou, and now from the traitors such as the Folding Jiashi for chaos, the court will never allow it, thinking that you do not know the loyalty, do not know the ambition of the Folding Jiashi, if you put down your weapons and surrender to sincerity anyway, the Great Zhou can not be blamed in the past, I hope you will consider it!" ā€

Shang Huaqing shouted again, and saw a commotion among the defenders at the head of the wall, chattering about something, and it seemed that there was a possibility of surrender. But soon a group of soldiers in iron armor went up to the wall, shouting and scolding, waving leather whips in their hands to drive away, and the soldiers guarding the wall immediately took their own positions, and no longer dared to gather.

"Something is wrong! Those in iron armor seem to be elite soldiers, and I don't know how many there are. Shang Huaqing stood close and saw that the defenders at the head of the wall had no reaction, so he had to run back to Han Zhiping.

"I got up in the middle of the night last night and hurried, the brothers were tired, so they should fight early and rest early!" Han Zhiping asked the generals to take their places, and then gave the order to attack.

The drums were beating, and the soldiers on the left and right of the first battalion carried the wooden ladders forward, and the commander and the battalion Yu Hou each brought their own soldiers to shoot arrows to cover first. The 2nd Battalion also advanced 100 paces and was ready to commit at any time.

The veterans of the Zhenyuan Army have experience in attacking the city, and the wall is not a little psychological pressure for them, and when the wooden ladder is picked up, the soldiers behind them almost run and rush up, and they are greeted by a rain of arrows and rows of spears.

However, with the sword and shield hand in front of the shield to cover and block, and the excellent iron armor protection, although some people fell down the ladder, it was only so high, it was difficult to fall to death. With dozens of wooden ladders set up, the defenders were a little clumsy, and the soldiers were good at riding horses to kill, and the rules were poor according to the wall.

Soldiers on the left and right sides of the main gate were quickly attacked, but there were not many people to hold their ground. The soldiers were fierce, shouting loudly and waving their swords, desperately resisting. However, they have poor discipline and do not pay attention to any formation, but they are surrounded by more people on all sides.

Seeing that it would be attacked in a while, Han Zhiping was overjoyed, and was about to order the second battalion to follow forward, not wanting a few sentry spies to rush forward, so he shouted loudly: "There are three hundred horses coming from Ximen!" Hurry up and assemble and change formations! ā€

Han Zhiping was taken aback, his face suddenly became ugly, the first battalion could not withdraw, so he had to order the five squares of the second battalion to quickly gather in the middle, and prepare for the battle with guns and shields as the outer layer. As soon as he had done this, he heard the sound of horses' hooves like a shower, and hundreds of horsemen rolled up puffs of sand and dust and rushed from the corner of the north wall.

"Definitely!" Han Zhiping shouted, a little panicked in his heart, he was not in the front during the battle of Huining, he had only seen it on foot, and he had no practical experience, although he had studied in the training camp, but it was all theoretical things.

And now he is lightly armed, he is not prepared to reject the horse and the big gun, and the shield of the soldiers in the front row is not high enough, and the gun and shield are good at rejecting the horse formation, but whether he can withstand the impact of the horse army, Han Zhiping is very uncertain, and he is already thinking about calling the first battalion back.

Hundreds of horsemen slammed into them like a sharp arrow in the blink of an eye, and there was a muffled sound in the front row, and several soldiers were knocked out of the way and flew upside down screaming, which was obviously impossible to survive. However, several horsemen in the front row of the enemy's horse team collided with the dense guns and rose up with the people, and then fell to the ground, and the momentum was also lost.

The Fan cavalry team failed to break through one wave after another, more than a dozen horses overturned, and more than ten horses were blocked in place, but the second wave followed, knocking over more than ten riders in waves. But the second wave was carried again, and the horses could not rush forward, and there was no gap to turn in, and they were carried down by their companions who were rolling on the ground.

The horses' hooves rushed and trampled, the noise was chaotic, and the ground was full of stumps and broken arms oozing thick blood, but more soldiers and war horses were on the ground. The front row of the second battalion of the infantry formation was knocked backwards, or directly knocked into the air. There is a big mouth missing, but there are still two and three rows that are still unmoving.

"Ride in steps, there is no advance or retreat! Kill! Han Zhiping's heart was pounding, only to feel that his throat was dry, and he roared hoarsely, the horse team was dozens of steps away in the front row, and it seemed that he was about to crash into front of him in an instant, only by yelling could he release the fear in his heart, but he was the main general, and he could not show his cowardice at all.

The infantry army of the same strength was at a great disadvantage against the horse army, and the front row was knocked out of a large arc-shaped depression at once, but the follow-up of the Fan cavalry team was affected by the overturned companions in front, and the speed of the second wave of collision was a little slower, and the second wave of collision was still blocked.

"Not good! The first battalion turned back and responded to the second battalion! At the same time that the Fan cavalry rushed through the corner of the wall, the two commanders of the first battalion also discovered that they did not think that the second battalion could withstand it, so they immediately gave an order, and led two teams of archers to rush over first, and fired arrows nearby, which caused a certain amount of damage to the Fan cavalry follow-up horse team.

The soldiers of the first battalion, who had not yet climbed the ladder, were divided into many squads, and when they heard the order, they turned around and killed back under the leadership of the head and the team, and trotted so quickly towards the Fan cavalry. The scene looked chaotic and I couldn't bear to look at it directly, but all the squads were moving in the same direction, and no one deliberately fled, and a tidal wave of counteroffensive was formed at once.

There were only 300 horsemen in the Fan cavalry team, and they could break through the infantry formation with three or four waves of impact, but at this time, the front horse team was a little weak in the assault, and there were soldiers who overturned people and horses, causing a lot of obstacles, but the follow-up was getting slower and slower.

The Zhou army squad roared madly from under the wall, and the formation gradually ran out of order, regardless of it, and the soldiers were crazy and chased the horse team with guns and stabbed them in a chaotic manner. And the fan wanted to fight back, but found that the scimitar could not reach, and wanted to collide but there was no open space, and the horse's speed could not be raised at all. A large group of horse team hedgehogs gathered together and became a live target.

The first three rows of the infantry formation have been broken, Han Zhiping is desperate, with his own soldiers holding large shields, and the soldiers in the back row are holding spears to go up, and only a thin line is left in the middle, and it will collapse after a wave of impact. Both soldiers were still there, but they couldn't fill it up for a while.

At this moment, there was a whining horn, and about half of the remaining horsemen turned around and headed north. But they failed to break through after repeated charges, and the speed of the horses had slowed down a lot, but they were not trotting faster.

The soldiers of the second battalion had not yet recovered their senses, and the soldiers of the first battalion rushed over from the side, a little unable to hold their feet, and actually chased the horse team to cover up hundreds of steps before they could catch up, and looked at the hundred more than 100 horses away. A few horsemen went to inspect it, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the team had not entered the town again, but had turned around and ran south.

The battle was only a cup or two of tea, and a mess was almost defeated, Han Zhiping only felt that all his strength was drained, and he was crumbling with only half of the gun left, and he couldn't say a word.

"Deputy Master Han! Are you still fighting? Zhang Zhixing's face was pale, blood flowed from his thighs, and he came over to ask with the help of a personal soldier.

"Fuck it! The iron-clad ones grabbed and cut them all! Han Zhiping roared hysterically, he raised his eyes and swept it, estimating that the horse team rushed to kill just now, causing two or three hundred casualties to his side, and this battle report was definitely a laughing stock.
