On a slightly higher mound, Yu Xiang took a telescope to carefully observe the Julu battlefield.

After reading it, he handed the telescope to Li Yan beside him, and after Li Yan looked at it, he handed the telescope to Liu Guoneng.

Yu Xiang said strangely: "From the formation of the Qing people, it seems that they have no intention of attacking it, it is more like a plan to firmly besiege it!" ”

Li Yan said: "I also have this doubt, the Qing cavalry is on the periphery, it stands to reason that if you want to attack, the fastest and most direct way is to use the iron cavalry to step on the camp. ”

Jia Binjiu added: "The time given by the Qing people is a three-day surrender period, and it stands to reason that a big attack should be launched today!" ”

Jia Bin's voice did not fall for a long time, only a rumble was heard, and then the rumble was practiced, and the Qing soldiers launched an attack on Lu Xiangsheng's position.

Liu Guoneng hurriedly handed the telescope to Yu Xiang, and Yu Xiang saw from the telescope a huge red-clothed cannon and several tiger squat cannons on the position of the Qing soldiers bombarding Lu Xiangsheng's requisition, and the Qing soldiers surrounding Lu Xiangsheng's requisition were just bluffing, without the slightest intention of taking the initiative to attack.

Goodbye Lu Xiangsheng rose up with puffs of smoke and dust, completely passive beating, and no power to fight back. The land was busy with it, apparently rescuing the wounded. If the Qing soldiers bombarded with greater firepower, and then charged the camp with iron cavalry, I am afraid that within half a day, the combat effectiveness of Lu Xiangsheng's army will soon be disintegrated, and the entire army may be wiped out in half a day, which is not much different from history.

Besiege but not attack, strongholds to send reinforcements.

Yu Xiang handed the telescope to Li Yan, Liu Guoneng and others beside him, and asked them to analyze the situation of the enemy position. Li Yan and Liu Guoneng agreed that the Qing soldiers surrounded but did not fight, and the purpose was to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and the meaning of the drunkard was to lie in the New Guard.

Yu Xiang carefully looked at the outlying positions of the Qing army, only to see that there were many bulges covered with grass, and then looked carefully, it was the muzzle of the black hole, facing the direction of the New Guards, and behind the artillery was a group of ironclad cavalry, although facing Lu Xiangsheng's expedition, but the formation, but in a reverse arc, if an order was given, these cavalry turned their horses' heads, and they could form a reverse outflanking trend against the New Guards.

Yu Xiang made a quick decision and quickly formulated a strategy to invite the king into the urn, and adopted the tactic of showing weakness to introduce the enemy into the new guard artillery fire coverage circle.

The Qing people seemed to sense the hesitation of the new guards, and the cannon fire became more intense, and they made the appearance of wanting to destroy Lu Xiangsheng immediately.

Yu Xiang will plan the plan, and order Liu Xiangzhong to lead the cavalry to pretend to rush to help, and quickly rush towards the enemy formation, each cavalry also dragged a section of pine branches behind him, because it did not rain for a long time, the bare land was picked up by the branches, and suddenly the ground was covered with dust, like thousands of troops and horses.

Yue Tuo watched with the naked eye, very suspicious, the new guard army could not have such a strong cavalry team, but this formation, like thousands of horses, if once rushed into battle, the consequences were unimaginable, because the tiger squat artillery is ignition, from ignition to artillery There is a time difference, seeing such a formation, the Qing army artillery quickly lifted the camouflage and waited for the battle.

Yue Tuo gave the order to attack with artillery fire.

The artillerymen hurriedly lit the fire. With a rumbling sound, the cannonballs rained down on the cavalry of the New Guard, and the cavalry running in front of them immediately turned on their backs.

At this moment, the cavalry of the New Guard suddenly turned their horses and retreated like a tide.

Yue Tuoha laughed and said, "Yu Xiang Xiao'er, it turns out that you are so vulnerable. ”

Immediately send out the Iron Rider to check.

Rewarded: "The New Guards all had pine branches tied to their tails, bluffing. ”

Yue Tuo laughed and said: "It seems that this Yu Xiang still has some brains, knowing that he came to explore the reality of our army, a group of rat guts, this time he saw the artillery fire of our army, he was even more frightened, and passed my order, the Mongolian battalion iron cavalry attacked, and Yu Xiang Xiaoer should not be allowed to escape." ”

Yu Xiang saw from the telescope that the horses on the position of Lu Xiangsheng turned around and rolled towards the position where Yu Xiang was.

When the Qing cavalry entered the artillery coverage area, the new guard did not give the order to attack, but waited for the Qing iron cavalry to enter the fire. Gun firing range, fire. The gun and the tiger squat cannon opened fire at the same time, and I saw that the Qing soldiers and iron horsemen suddenly turned on their backs.

However, due to the iron armor of the Qing cavalry, the bullets did little damage to them, and some of the iron cavalry broke through the vitality defense line and rushed to the fire. In front of the gun, if it rushes into the formation, the consequences are unimaginable.

Yu Xiang had already taken precautions, the special forces led by Zhuge Shanzhen and the martial arts reinforcements led by Xiahou Shangyuan had already been waiting in front of the battle, only to see the martial arts giants such as the martial saint Ai Lianchi, Kongkongdaoren, and Mu Renqing holding spears and blades, majestic and majestic, squatting in the fire. In front of the spearmen, at the front are several rows of contradictory soldiers, layer upon layer of fire. The gunners were protected.

A group of cavalry rushed to the front of the shield spearmen, the spearmen were not afraid, the base of the spear was clubbed, diagonally facing the cavalry, one by one the horse's ass was stabbed in the abdomen, the Qing horse fell off the horse, and was immediately stabbed to death by the spear.

Due to the inertia of the horses rushing forward, although some horses were stabbed, the strong inertia caused the horses to fall into the shield soldiers, and sometimes several shield soldiers would be overwhelmed by the horses. Some sycophants will rush in through this gap, and the cavalry that rushes into the gap will slash and suffer heavy casualties, at this time, the special forces and martial arts reinforcements will come into play.

A clear iron cavalry rushed in from the gap, brandished his saber, slashed and wounded several spearmen, and was about to approach the fire. The spearman, I saw Mu Renqing jumping up, and the spear in his hand pierced the war horse. Eyes, the war horse neighed, raised its front hooves, exposed the horse's belly, Mu Renqing stabbed the horse's belly, the war horse fell to the ground on the spot, the Qing cavalry fell to the ground, before he could get up, Mu Renqing inserted a shot from his face, the Qing cavalry screamed, and died on the spot.

Because of the close-range melee, fire. The spearmen can no longer shoot, so they have to weave the fire coverage area in front of the tiger squat artillery, and the cavalry that breaks through the fire coverage area will be solved by the spearmen, special forces and martial arts assistance regiments, Zhu Yitang and Zhao Xiao's sharpshooter team sniped at a fixed point, and fired at the Qing cavalry.

In this way, the cavalry of the Qing soldiers was consumed in large quantities, although the Mongolian iron cavalry was fierce and brave and good at fighting, but in the face of well-equipped and martial arts masters, they did not have any advantage, and the Mongolian iron cavalry suffered heavy losses.

The New Guards also suffered heavy casualties among the Infantry Guards, and if they were replaced by other armies, they would have already broken their fighting spirit and fled in all directions. However, the formation of the new guard remained unchanged, and the gaps that had been torn apart were quickly filled. This time, the martial arts assistance group exerted great combat effectiveness, and without their help, this battle would have been a bit dangerous.

Besides, Yue Tuo stood on the command car, and saw a group of Mongolian iron horsemen on their backs, and a steady stream of cavalry rushing through the artillery coverage area, but still did not extinguish the artillery fire of the New Guards, obviously, the cavalry was eliminated before rushing to the artillery position, otherwise, the artillery fire of the New Guards would have been extinguished. But the artillery fire of the New Guard showed no signs of abating. And the New Guard's artillery fire was much farther than he had imagined.

Yue Tuo knew that he had been fooled, the Mongolian iron cavalry was Yue Tuo's most reliable fighting force, he didn't want this team to be lost, and hurriedly ordered the Mongolian iron cavalry to withdraw quickly, with a majestic horn sound, those Mongolian iron cavalry turned their horses' heads and frantically retreated.

The position of the new guard army is loose, even the martial arts strong Mu Renqing sat on the ground, panting heavily, they are also human beings, not like later generations said that the way of God, personal individual combat ability is indeed acceptable, they mainly practice fighting skills, but Mongolian iron horses, wearing iron helmets and iron armor, it is difficult to hit with one hit, and it often takes a lot of strength to kill the enemy.

Therefore, all the soldiers who were on the front line were relieved. The positions of the New Guard were covered with corpses, both enemy and our.

Yu Xiang gave the order, and the position advanced forward. It was not until the artillery positions of the Qing soldiers were in the area covered by the fire of the New Guards Tiger Squat Artillery that they stopped.

The commander of the Qing artillery saw that the New Guards were advancing ahead, he was very excited, thinking that the New Guards were beyond their strength and came to send them to death, they thought that the Tiger Squat Cannon of the New Guard Army was not as far as their Tiger Squat Cannon in any case, but unexpectedly, the New Guard Artillery stopped at a distance of 500 meters, no longer advancing, but erected a gun mount.

Theoretically, the maximum firing distance of the Qing artillery is 500 meters, but on the flat ground, the firing distance is only more than 400 meters, and there is no 500 meters at all.

But the New Guard did not leave much time for the Qing soldiers to think, and suddenly hundreds of iron eggs rained down from the sky, and the artillery of the Qing soldiers was broken by the iron eggs, and the crying father and mother were in a mess. Those cast-iron tiger squat cannons were smashed into sparks, and the brackets were scattered.

The New Guard artillery did not stop there, but continued to advance, the Qing soldiers tasted the power of the New Guard artillery, and dodged in fear, and the Qing soldiers' position was torn open by Yu Xiang's artillery.

The artillery could not advance further, and if the lone army penetrated, it might lead to the Qing soldiers covering up from both sides, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, the cavalry team led by Liu Xiangzhong, who had retreated earlier, rushed away quickly, and Liu Guoneng brought new arms. The spearmen followed, rushing towards the breach.

Besides, Lu Xiangsheng originally decided to fight to the death with the Qing soldiers and sacrifice his life for mercy. When the Qing artillery bombarded the requisitioned land, he ran out of the command post, only to see heavy casualties on the requisitioned land, coming and going, and the vast expanse of soldiers, bandaging and transporting the wounded.

Lu Xiangsheng wanted to go to the front line to command, but was stopped by the deputy general Yang Yanlin, who was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would be injured by a stray bullet, so he insisted on letting him stay in the command room and sent stones and eggs. The son guards the safety of Lord Lu.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng knew Yang Yanlin's good intentions, first, to protect his safety, and secondly, to take the opportunity to protect the young stone egg. Son, Lu Xiangsheng knew that it was not his last moment, and he felt that although he couldn't run today no matter what, if he died, the combat effectiveness on the battlefield would collapse in an instant.

He sat in the command room, listening intently to the sound of artillery on the battlefield, sparse, not like a posture to wipe them out, and then faintly, heard the dense sound of artillery in the distance. He was very strange: could it be that the reinforcements arrived, and he almost knelt down in the direction of the capital to thank the emperor Shengming.

But he was wrong, obviously it was not from the direction of the capital, and the cannon sound came from the south, not from the north.

This time, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't care about it, he wanted to go out and find out.

Stone eggs. Zi said that he wouldn't let him go out, but when he couldn't stop him, he simply lay on the ground and hugged one of Lu Xiangsheng's legs.

Lu Xiangsheng took this stone egg. The son has no temper, and he reprimands the stone egg loudly. Seed, but stone egg. The son is unmoved, just holding his legs.

At this moment, Yang Yanlin entered the command post, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help laughing. He commanded, "Stone eggs. Son, let go of Lord Lu. ”

Stone eggs. Only then did he let go of Lu Xiangsheng's legs, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the guards at the door again, and they all ignored him, he knew that everyone was thinking about him, so he was moved in his heart, and he didn't say anything more.

Yang Yanlin entered the house and said, "The sound of artillery came from the south, not Chen Xinjia's team. And the Qing soldiers seemed to besiege us but did not attack, but only attacked with red-coated cannons and tiger squat cannons, more like using us as bait to lure friendly troops who came to our rescue. ”

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a moment and said, "The reinforcements may be the new guards, let's go, go up to the roof and have a look." ”

This time, Yang Yanlin did not stop, they climbed to the highest roof, watched in the direction of the cannonade, and from a distance, they could see the smoke of gunpowder and the impact of the Qing cavalry. The cavalry besieging them was almost all transferred.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed, and he judged that the team with such combat effectiveness and attack power was none other than the New Guard.

Lu Xiang raised the roof and immediately began to deploy the upcoming breakthrough, he paid close attention to the battle situation and chose the best time to break through, and when the five thousand soldiers heard that the new guards had come to the rescue, their morale immediately soared, and they all grinded their fists and prepared to enter the final battle.
