Chapter 553: Lang who came to die again

Although the attack on the station was frustrated, the rest of the city was progressing relatively smoothly, and more than half of the dozens of large warehouses built in Tongguan had been controlled. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But no matter how you look at the materials in the warehouse, it doesn't have much to do with military supplies.

Men's and women's summer clothing, summer cloth, bamboo mats, tea, salt, fire, hardware tools, perfumes, dresses...... These things can't be called useless things, and if you sell them through the right channels, you can still get a lot of income. But the problem is that this is completely contrary to the original intention of the operation to save the country, and they can not find the cotton clothes and shoes they urgently need, nor can they find guns and ammunition. There is no trace of arms and medicine, and although there is some food, the quantity is far from as large as imagined.

Fooled!

Guo Jian knew in his heart that he was used as a gunman and became part of the plan to kill two birds with one stone. There is no need to ask, the pursuit team of the Lu army may be waiting for them outside, and as long as they are killed, they will be attacked by others.

Immediately, the scouts sent another piece of news, a large number of Beiyang soldiers, killed at the end of the ranks, posing a huge threat to our army. Several brothers sacrificed themselves and led the Beiyang soldiers to shoot, so that the troops would not be beaten with sticks.

Guo Jian's expression changed: "How did you do it!" The eyes of our government, why didn't we send the news! ”

Another soldier flew in and muttered a few words in Guo Jian's ear, his expression turned to surprise, "Okay, very!" This is the Heavenly Death Zhao thief, we should be saved. Inform the brethren to concentrate their forces and destroy the team at the station. The 20,000 horses of the Gan army have rushed to Tongguan to meet us, the Beiyang soldiers from outside belong to them, and the county belongs to us, if we fall behind the Gan army, don't live! Tell Second Master Bai, don't care about the ammunition, give me a desperate gun, and be sure to suppress the firepower of the station. The other brothers rushed up for me, and whoever grabbed those guns would be the one who got them! ”

Guo Jian's troops plus Hu Bai's surrendered troops totaled more than 40,000 people, and in addition to the troops left behind in Qiangbai, the number of troops dispatched for this attack was about 20,000. And Feng Huanzhang's department stationed at the station was less than a brigade with a strength of more than 3,000 people, which was almost a difference of ten to one.

Bai Lang's men and horses were mobilized to the station and began to attack Feng Bu. Because of the capture of Henan, in the coalition army, the equipment and training of Bai Lang's troops were stronger than those of Guo. On the other hand, Guo Bu's spirit of death is above Bai Bu.

These generals from Henan also followed the example of the Beiyang soldiers, lined up in a row, raised their guns and fired a volley, and fought against the platoon of guns with a platoon of guns. A few rounds of platoon guns came through, followed by a white-knuckle charge. Feng Bu used platoon guns against guns, bayonets against bayonets, and did not fall behind in the slightest. Feng Huanzhang personally supervised the battle, personally armed with a knife hand-to-hand combat, although the number of soldiers was small, but from the scene, he did not fall behind at all.

The bayonet is sonorous, and the white-edged charge is made. This is already the first charge, and no one remembers. It's just a corpse on the ground, which seriously affects the battle between the two sides, and if you don't pay attention, you step on the body of the robe, you fall to the ground, and before you can stand up, you will also become a member of the dead body.

The command knife in Feng Huanzhang's hand had already been chopped up, and he had replaced it with a ghost-headed broadsword, still tearing and killing the enemy in close quarters. In the northwest, there are many martial arts and boxing, and there are many men with strong martial arts in Fengbu, and these Guanzhong swordsmen use knives to knives, kill people who come and go, and bury one good life after another near the station in this small county.

"Brigade seat, the commander of the third company was killed...... The commander of the second battalion was killed! ”

When the news of the death of officers came over, Feng Huanzhang only shook his head and said, "As long as I live, I will feed their whole family for the rest of my life." Then he raised his knife and slew again.

Jiang Hong grabbed his arm with a cold squeeze, "Huanzhang, we can't fight like this, we have to be uplifted!" Didn't the handsome man say that he caught a turtle in an urn? Now that the turtle is here, where is the person who caught the turtle? I think he is Zhuge Liang's fire attacking the upper valley, and even Guo Jian and us want to cause harm. If it doesn't work, let's retreat! ”

"Retreat? Where can you retreat? Feng Huanzhang shook his head, "If we retreat now, the responsibility for the erosion of the situation in Shaanxi in the future will be ours." At the order of the War Department, our number was to be revoked, and all the brothers had nothing to eat. No matter what kind of heart he has, we have to fight hard to build a future for the brothers! Pass my order, all officers go down to the grassroots level, go to the front line to fight bayonets, as long as one of our brigade is alive, the station will not be given to the salvation monarch! Besides, if you listen to it, there are guns and cannons going on outside, which means that there is also a war outside. I'm afraid it's not just us who have reinforcements, there are also reinforcements on the other side. ”

Outside the city, the sound of guns and cannons has resounded in the sky, Zhao Guanhou rode on his mount, looked at the opposite side with a telescope, and said while looking: "What do you say, Lao Feng must have scolded my eight-generation ancestor in his heart." But who would have thought that there would be such a coincidence in the world and meet an old enemy here. ”

Outside the county seat of Tongguan, the Ma Zengshou cavalry division from the direction of Gansu began to make forward contact with Zhao Guanhou's troops.

The predecessor of this army is the remnants of Dong Wuxing's Wuwei rear army, since Dong Wuxing was killed, the Gan army has disappeared in the battle sequence, but the children of his clan are still living in Gansu. On the battlefield, life and death are inevitable, when the front army of Wuwei guards the two palaces, the matter of searching and killing the rear army, although it is a festival, but it is impossible to rebel for this.

It's just that Ma Zengshou recently got a message from foreigners that Dong Wuxing did not die at the hands of the coalition forces that day, but probably died in an assassination arranged by Zhao Guanhou. Including the millions of silver military salaries he looted from the capital, they were also obtained by the former army of Wuwei.

This hatred, coupled with the support that foreigners are willing to provide, and the current complex situation in the northwest, Ma Zengshou finally decided to raise troops against the water. Relying on the thousands of new foreign guns obtained from Tiele Foreign Bank, as well as a loan of 500,000 yuan, plus the appeal to avenge Dong Wuxing, he formed a team of nearly 20,000 people. In the name of Gansu to save the country, he raised troops, and then went straight to Shaanxi to find the Lu army for a decisive battle.

The news of Tongguan Station, he also heard the limelight, such a piece of fat, he naturally has no reason to let it go. In fact, if it weren't for the arrival of the Lu army and the death fight of Feng, this cavalry would probably have joined forces with Guo Jianbu to decide the ownership of the spoils.

Now, it is the enemy who meets each other, and they are very red-eyed, and the outpost battle alone is already quite intense.

Sun Meiyao patted the horse's head on the side, "Boss, let me go." I don't believe it, these heavenly cavalry can be better than the Cossacks! ”

"That's not the case, they have too many people, the cavalry brigade and you, they are all my treasures, I don't want you to lose anything. Seek stability first, then win...... Damn, I don't like this kind of battle the most, there is no room for tricks, and I don't even have time to arrange the fortifications, so I have to work hard. The special operations brigade was ordered to act in accordance with the drill and not to participate in positional combat. Order the artillery, unfold the formation, and prepare all the artillery fire! ”

In order to annihilate Guo Jian, the troops advanced lightly, so the heavy artillery was not carried, and they were all two-pounder guns, although the number was large, the power was limited. And it can't fire grenade shotguns, so it can only shoot at the Gan army with iron ball solid shells. Ma Zengshou was even poorer, they didn't have any decent cannons, only a few dozen earthen cannons, and even a great general who had been in use since the pre-Jin era.

Ma Zengshou was still wearing the official uniform of the pre-Jin era, and he was not lacking in wearing a flower feather, looking at the formation of the Lu army with a monocular, and then ordered: "Babies, the time has come to avenge our Dong Shuai!" Whoever cuts off Zhao Guanhou's head can divide his woman first. Give me all the skills to kill! ”

The Gan army fought in the northwest and also had a certain amount of experience, knowing that in the face of a team like the Lu army, which had a quick gun and artillery, it was basically unable to break through the defense with cavalry. It is also in the form of mounted infantry, and when it reaches the battlefield, it is changed to an infantry charge.

Cavalry is used more as reconnaissance and raiding, and only when a suitable opportunity is found can a cavalry charge be launched. It still uses the battalion system, with 500 people as a battalion, and the vanguard attack, so it sends four battalions of troops.

These four battalions, including an elite battalion equipped with Tiele fast guns, and the other three battalions, are all arquebuses. There were no artillery, but there were raised guns. As the commander's command flag waved, the soldiers shouted and charged towards the advance of the Lu army.

On the side they rushed to, there was a temporary defensive line composed of two infantry battalions, Wang Bincheng gritted his teeth, put the binoculars down, and shouted to the soldiers: "If you want to live a personal life, it's up to you to look at today." If even this gang of Gan troops can't win, they will die in Shaanxi in the future. Give them a little bit of awesomeness and let them know that we are awesome! ”

These two battalions followed him from Huguang to Shandong. There were two battalions in name, but the actual strength was only one battalion, and Zhao Guanhou later supplemented it, and the formation was complete. These units were trained by Wang Bincheng, and Wu Jingfu always despised their combat effectiveness, believing that they were useless and worthless.

In Hunan, they have suffered a lot of white eyes, and coming to Shandong is the only opportunity. If they still don't perform well, the fate that awaits them is only to be eliminated. If you have no pay or food, you will leave your hometown, and that is a dead end.

The soldiers in the first row knelt down on one leg, the soldiers in the second row raised their guns to aim, and the guns of the soldiers in the third row were set up in the gap between them and the soldiers in the second row. It wasn't until Gan's projectiles caused casualties in their own ranks that these soldiers pulled the trigger sharply.

A salvo. The projectile storm swept past Gan Jun, and the voice of the shout suddenly became low. Dense formation, there are large gaps. Then he left a bullet in his hand and threw it towards the ranks of the Gan army. These poorly equipped Gan soldiers didn't have bullets in their hands, and after seeing this thing, they didn't know how to dodge.

Explosions sounded, and the dazed and ignorant Gan Jun paid the price for his stupidity. The effect of the explosion of the hand-held bullet was surprising, and two pipe belts were killed on the spot, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The rest of the troops, not knowing what they had thrown out, thought they were facing some new weapon with infinite power, and began to turn and flee.

What greeted them was the bright sword light of the Gan Army Law Enforcement Team.

"Escape from the battle, rectify the Fa on the spot!" Ma Zengshou stood on his horse and announced loudly. "Give it to me again, I won't believe it, and I won't be able to break through his camp!"

Wang Bin's troops were greatly boosted by the victory of the first round of battles, and finally found that they were not wastes, and the troops fought more actively, and in the face of the second round of attacks of the Gan army, the soldiers became more and more calm and confident.

The so-called Tiele fast gun is actually a smoothbore gun that has been eliminated after the expiration of Tieler's service period, and the accuracy and range cannot be compared with the guns in the hands of the Lu army. Even the reckless rifles are much better in quality than these old guns. The advantage of weapons is reflected on the battlefield, that is, the Lu army can hit the Gan army, but the Gan army's rifle cannot hit the Lu army because of the lack of range.

Moreover, the troops of the Gan army, equipped with old guns, could not use bayonets, but could only wield large blades and launch hand-to-hand combat against the king. After throwing the bullet out again, Wang Bincheng pulled out his saber violently and shouted, "Brothers, rush with me!" "Lead the troops, and bump into one place against the Gan army.

"Kill!" With a shout, one of Gan's cavalrymen was chopped off his horse by his opponent. The killer wiped the blood from his face and shook the saber in his hand, "My name is Long Yangjian!" Come on, deal with these Gan Jun with me! ”

The battle of cavalry and infantry took place at about the same time, and then it was the time of entry for the god of war. Dozens of round balls whizzed past and landed in the ranks of the Gan army, and the beaters shouted and neighed. Ma Zengshou angrily pointed to the artillery position, "Babies, deal with these artillery with me!" ”

A chain of horses, consisting of hundreds of horses, rushed towards the artillery position, but soon they found themselves in a trap. In front of the artillery positions of the Lu army, a mine line was constructed.

This trick may not be useful against others, but it is just right against Gan's army, who lacks knowledge of new weapons. The horse team that rushed in front stepped on the mine, the bombed man turned on his back, the other horses were frightened, and began to rush and run, just when Ma Zengshou was desperately restraining the team, the cavalry of the Lu army had already killed from the flank, and the Gan army who only cared about the front was like a wind and a fallen leaf under the horse.

"Ma Zengshou, you are old and outdated after all. Now this era is no longer your era, the old army's stuff, it doesn't work. ”

Zhao Guanhou smiled coldly, Ryanstein and his foreign soldiers are treasures, and he doesn't want to waste it in this kind of war of attrition. But Reinstein's command was far more useful than his foreign charge. Under the small test, Ma Zengshou has suffered a big loss, and he almost buried himself in it.

Reinstein shook his head, "A bunch of armed thugs who don't qualify to be Earl Ryanstein's opponents." War is not a simple comparison of numbers, they may not lack courage, but they lack skill and the level of combat. Now let them see what war is. ”

His orders flowed out, and were conveyed downward by heralds.

"Li Zongyun Brigade, all attack." The immortal general of the Lu army, brandishing a saber, shouted loudly, "I am Li Zongyun, Li Zongyun who can't be killed, if you are not afraid of death, come on!" ”

"Children, follow me to seek wealth, and if you want to please your wife, you will open up to me and kill people! Don't take prisoners, and again, let's not take prisoners! Sun Meiyao rode on a horse, led the cavalry, and took the initiative to launch an assault on the ranks of the Gan army.

"Our second mixed brigade is not a bad breed, it is a master, give me some of the man's example, the time for meritorious service has come!"

"Bayonets on cannons, bayonets on all cannons. Our artillery battalion also has to eat something dry, push the cannon to the front line, and hit this group of dirt buns! ”

Li Zongyun Brigade, Shang Quan Mixed Brigade, Cavalry Brigade. One after another, the elite banners of the Lu army moved forward, and countless battle flags moved towards the position of the Gan army.

Ma Zengshou raised his sword, and the children of the Gan army, with the same blood bravery, returned the charge with tribute. Soon, however, the banners of the Gan army began to retreat and scatter until they fell to the ground. In the direction of the Gan army's baggage team, another special team also launched a surprise attack, sprinkling a handful of salt on the wound of the Gan army, and then rubbing it vigorously!
