Fan Li's face turned pale: "It's not a way for the enemy and me to keep confronting each other like this. ”

Zhao Shougang nodded and said, "Such a confrontation is extremely unfavorable to our side, although the rebel cavalry has lost the confidence to attack our camp, our soldiers cannot maintain a high level of mental tension for a long time. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the rebel artillery camp position not far in front of him, looked at Fan Li and continued: "In my judgment, the confrontation between the rebel cavalry and our army is on the one hand to protect the rebel infantry and the retreat of the artillery battalion. On the other hand, it must be looking for an opportunity to retaliate, which is the main reason why the rebel cavalry is stranded. ”

Fan Li had experienced the battle just now, and knew that the soldiers' long-term nervousness was the most likely to cause physical and mental fatigue, and it was rare for the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion to continue to maintain a strict military appearance after the oppression of the rebel cavalry of the rebels before!

Now that the weather is hot, it is most likely for the soldiers to be taken advantage of by the enemy when they are exposed to the sun for a long time, so the prolonged confrontation is extremely unfavorable to the soldiers of the Zhenshan Battalion.

I couldn't help but nod and asked, "How does Zhao Qian plan to solve this matter." ”

Zhao Shougang turned his gaze to the rebel artillery camp position and said, "If you want to end the confrontation between the two sides, the best way is to attack the rebel artillery camp position and disrupt the deployment of the rebel cavalry." ”

Fan Li's eyes lit up and said, "What do you mean ......?"

Zhao Shougang nodded calmly and said: "Yes, it is to find a way to approach the rebel artillery camp position, bombard it with gunpowder packs, and force the rebel cavalry to stop it. ”

Fan Li muttered: "Although the rebel cavalry has suffered from our army's firearms, they will definitely not let us attack the rebel artillery battalion. You have also seen the power of the rebels' arrows before, and our army really wants to act rashly. I'm afraid the consequences will be severe. ”

Zhao Shougang frowned and said: "Yes, our army is far behind the other party in terms of mobility and combat effectiveness. The rebel cavalry was afraid of our firearms, and if the rebel cavalry had come up and fired with bows and arrows, instead of directly attacking our camp, I am afraid that the damage would have been greater to our troops. But there is one one, our army's bird guns are higher than the rebels' bows and arrows in terms of firing distance and firing intensity, and now our two armies together have more than 600 bird guns, once the rebel cavalry shoots with bows and arrows, our side should be able to suppress the rebels' archers. ”

Fan Li thought for a while, nodded and said, "Please give an order to President Zhao Qian." I am willing to obey orders. ”

Because according to the establishment of the Zhenshan Battalion, Zhao Shougang and Fan Li are both Qianzong, and their positions are the same, but Fan Li is the new Qianzong of the teaching group, and Zhao Shougang is the powerful Qianzong of the Zhenshan Battalion.

Fan Li cannot be compared with Zhao Shougang in terms of combat experience, personal qualifications and other aspects, and Zhao Shougang is still the commander of the city this time, so in Fan Li's opinion, it is natural to hand over the command to Zhao Shougang, and he is willing to obey Zhao Shougang's command.

Zhao Shougang nodded slightly, pointed to the ownerless war horse on the battlefield with his hand and said, "I thought of an idea." These war horse rebels haven't had time to take it back, and they can just take advantage of it. ”

Seeing that Fan Li was a little puzzled, he simply said: "Send someone to catch these war horses first." With a wave of his hand, he ordered his next team of soldiers to gather the ownerless horses on the battlefield.

Then he went on to explain his thoughts to Fan Li: "Tie these captured horses to gunpowder packets on their backs, light them and drive them towards the rebel artillery camp, which is only a hundred paces away from us. The horses carrying gunpowder packs rushed into the rebel artillery camp, and if the rebels did not stop it in time, they would definitely blow up the rebel artillery camp directly. I don't think the rebel cavalry will stand idly by. At that time, whether to choose to attack or retreat, the initiative will be in our hands. ”

"Wonderful! It's a win-win-win- It can not only relieve the threat of the rebel cavalry, but also inflict heavy damage on the rebel artillery battalion. Fan Li shook his fist excitedly.

……

Cao Shaozhong looked at the array of the Zhenshan camp with a neat lineup on the opposite side. I felt that the other party was like a hedgehog covered with thorns, and when he bit it, he was stabbed instead of eating the meat.

Although he suffered a big loss under the hands of the other party, he could only stare helplessly, this kind of grievance Cao Shaozhong did not feel for a long time, and felt that these soldiers were even more elite than a small number of veterans of a hundred battles in the rebel army.

Their firearms tactics were extremely skillful, and it was reasonable for their cavalry to be caught off guard and attacked by the opponent's firearms.

His cavalry had lost its sharpness after being hit by the opponent's firearms, and even if he ordered to attack the opponent again, the result would definitely be a feather, so he simply held on to the opponent and waited for the opportunity to counterattack.

Wipe the sweat off your face irritably, the weather is hot and dry in June, and you will soon sweat and sweat when exposed to the sun.

Hmph, see how long you can stand under the sun, don't let Lao Tzu seize the opportunity...... Cao Shaozhong was secretly ruthless, once the other party could not hold on or was ready to withdraw from the battlefield, it was the moment when his cavalry thundered and struck, and he wanted to let the defenders on the opposite side resist the casualties of his cavalry.

Looking up at the "hedgehog" 500 steps away, I saw that the "hedgehog" queue was still neat and orderly, and a team of "hedgehog" soldiers was collecting the dead cavalry horses on the battlefield.

Cao Shaozhong's eyes were sparkling, his cavalry were all good at fighting on the battlefield, but he didn't want to be killed by the explosives thrown by the other party, and the death was really wronged, and even the war horses in the battlefield became the trophies of the other party, and they cheapened these "hedgehogs" in vain.

Hey, what did the other party tie up on horseback? Cao Shaozhong's eyes suddenly widened, and Zhu Bao'er looked at the other party's actions in surprise, and his hand wiping sweat stopped in mid-air and forgot to put it down.

Yes, it was the explosion from this package that caused great damage to his cavalry! Da Futian Cao Shaozhong felt cold, and he thought that the other party must be planning to lead the explosives to the cavalry queue through the war horse to explode......

Cao Shaozhong immediately ordered: "Everyone prepare bows and arrows, and shoot Lao Tzu to death anything that comes close." ”

The frightened rebel cavalry drew their bows and arrows one after another, staring at the opposing team that had caused them to suffer a big loss.

Fan Li looked at the more than forty tall and divine horses, and was very reluctant in his heart, such a good war horse had to be used as cannon fodder, you must know that the Zhenshan Battalion is now in urgent need of war horses to expand the cavalry force!

His eyes turned to Zhao Shougang and found that there was also reluctance in the other party's eyes.

"Hey. What a pity for these war horses! Isn't it too much to release more than forty war horses at once? Fan Li said reluctantly.

Zhao Shougang shook his head, "There is only one chance, if I can't destroy the rebel artillery camp because I wait for a few war horses, it will only be a chicken and egg fight in the end, and it will be difficult for our army to get out calmly." ”

Fan Li naturally knew the situation that the Zhenshan Battalion was facing now, don't look at the rebel cavalry on the opposite side watching from a distance, but as long as his side showed the intention to retreat, the rebel cavalry would definitely kill him mercilessly.

Reluctantly took his eyes off the war horse, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his head, looked up to watch the movement of the rebel cavalry, and suddenly said with a smile in his words: "The rebel cavalry must think that these war horses are going to deal with them, and look at them as if they are facing a great enemy." ”

"It's better to make the rebel cavalry feel the danger, so that the war horses will only have a greater chance of success when they storm the rebel artillery camp." Zhao Shougang laughed.

As they spoke, there were three gunpowder packs tied together on all the horses, and only one of them had a long powder line on it, needless to say, igniting the powder line, and the rest of the powder packs would explode.

Soon, the gunpowder pack fuses on the backs of all the captured war horses began to "snort" and burn, and Zhao Shougang, Fan Li and others waved daggers and stabbed at the buttocks of the war horses.

"Herod"'s body was stabbed, and the war horse spread its hooves and ran towards the position of the rebel artillery camp, and it was more than a hundred steps away, and it was time in a blink of an eye.

Because the artillery battalion of the rebels had to defend against the artillery attack of Pingdu City, each Western cannon was piled up with neat earth and stone walls in front of it, and each cannon was ten to fifteen paces apart, and fifty guns were distributed within a radius of 500 paces.

At this time, the rebel artillery camp was in chaos, and the artillery men were busy disassembling the artillery fixings while worrying that the earthquake mountain camp a hundred steps away would suddenly kill, and the scene of the rebel cavalry defeat just now was vivid, and the elite cavalry were all repulsed, and the artillery men who lacked defense were not opponents.

The artillerymen were not as tough as the rebel cavalry, and when they saw dozens of frightened horses coming straight to the artillery camp position from a distance, most of the artillery crews immediately gave up dismantling the artillery and began to look for a place to hide, and for a time the entire rebel artillery camp position was in chaos.

With a "boom", the gunpowder bag carried by the first war horse exploded among the gunners of the artillery battalion, and the sound of three shelling explosions resounded in the sky after three "booms", and in an instant the rebel artillery camp turned into a sea of fire, and the explosion wave brought countless stumps and broken arms......

Fan Li turned his face and couldn't bear to look at the tragic scene at the scene of the explosion, but Zhao Shougang kept his eyes on the rebel cavalry.

In the earth-shattering sound of artillery bombardment, first of all, the war horse of the rebel cavalry began to jump uncontrollably because of the violent fright, the rebel cavalry held the bow and arrow in their hands, and the cavalry on the horse was disorganized, and the body of the cavalry on the horse was uncontrollable, and in the panic abandoned the bow and arrow to concentrate on controlling the frightened horse.

The gunpowder packets may have ignited the stored gunpowder of the rebel artillery battalion, and the earth-shattering sound of shelling resounded in the sky one after another.

Cao Shaozhong controlled the war horse in a panic, and the continuous explosion made the war horse completely panic, not to mention attacking the other party, it was very difficult for the cavalry under his command to even control the war horse, and the army on the opposite side was really doing everything, there was such a group of people in this Pingdu City, who else could take it down!

Suddenly, Cao Shaozhong felt disheartened, raised his head and saw another team of about 1,000 people coming from the direction of Pingdu City, and the little thought in his heart to exterminate the other party was completely extinguished.

He hissed and shouted, "All the cavalry will withdraw to the camp with me." "I couldn't care about the rebels who fled, so I rode my horse and galloped towards the rebel camp!!! (To be continued......)
