Monk Lingqin's reaction was very fast, and when he heard that Tanma had discovered that a force of the Jingwu Army outside the city had occupied Xujia Village, which was thirty miles away, he immediately sent more Tanma to spy on him.

Soon, Seng Lingqin learned more detailed information from Tanma's mouth again, that is, there are really a large number of elite troops stationed in Xujia Village, although because of the sharp firearms of the other party, they can't get close, but the preliminary estimate is that the number of people should be around 5,000, and it should be a forward army.

The most important thing is that the Tanma sent out this time not only saw the five-star red flag, but even saw the moon-white plum blossom flag, which made Monk Greenqin excited!

As we all know, the five-star red flag is the military flag of the Jingwu Army, and the moon white plum blossom flag is Li Yongji's home flag, so the plum blossom flag is here, either Li Yongji personally came over, or this army is Li Yongji's personal soldiers!

Considering that Li Yongji, as the leader of the thieves, will not take risks lightly, then nine times out of ten this unit is Li Yongji's pro-soldier unit, at least it is also the forward force of pro-soldiers!

No matter what the situation is, while the opponent's large army has not yet come, it is good to eat this army one step earlier, at least it can boost the morale of your own army!

Thinking of this, Seng Lingqin ordered Zheng Kuishi's department, which was closest to Xujia Village, to immediately guard to prevent the other party from sneaking attack, and at the same time, he himself personally gathered an army with a total of more than 50,000, including 20,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and then rushed towards Xujia Village with great momentum.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the army led by Seng Lingqin had arrived ten miles outside Xujia Village, echoing Zheng Kuishi's troops, and then, Seng Greenqin set up camp very steadily, built earthen ramparts and trenches against Xujia Village, and began to observe the layout of Xujia Village.

Because the troops brought by Li Yongji had strong firepower and convenient communications, they did not form a dense formation to meet the enemy. Instead, they all lay down in the trenches one by one, paying great attention to concealment, so they could not see the strength of the Xujia Village position from the outside, but could only see the barbed wire fences and the trenches and earth barriers, as well as the farmhouses behind the earthen barriers.

Although it is impossible to see how many soldiers and horses the other party has hidden inside, the five-star red flag and the moon-white plum blossom flag are really visible, because they stand alone on the most important mound in Xujia Village, which is very conspicuous.

Although Xujia Village is not large, the entire village is surrounded by barbed wire, and their firearms are sharp. Once a small number of Qing troops approached within 300 meters of the barbed wire, they would immediately be subjected to a burst of concentrated fire and would basically not be able to return.

"Amma!" Seeing that Monk Greenqin took back the monoculars, Boyan Nemohu, the commander of the Red Banner Protector Army and the eldest son of Monk Greenqin, took the initiative to ask, "Let me fight, I will lead my headquarters soldiers and horses, and go to rush to have a look first." ”

"Hmph, what's the hurry." Monk Greenqin frowned. Suddenly, he shouted, "Baltai! ”

"Wow!" A stout officer with a big shoulder and a round waist next to him clenched his fists in response, "What does the prince command!" ”

"You take 20,000 cavalry to take the lead," Monk Greenqin said coldly. "Give me a hard rush, just rush in!"

"Wow!" Baltai quickly took the order and left.

When Baltai was gone, Monk Grinqin said to his son, "You lead your escort battalion to follow behind, and wait for the cavalry to rush in." You immediately followed up, did you hear me? ”

"Yes!" Boyan nodded his head, and then wondered. "But Amma, now the enemy situation is unknown, and the other side is on guard at a glance, you have invested so many troops at once, what if the other party has any traps?"

"Traps? Hehe, it's right to be careful, but it's also time to score. Monk Lingqin said proudly, "They came from afar, they were already exhausted, and they dug trenches and set up camps, so they were even more tired, how could they have the time to dig traps."

We just want to take advantage of their initial arrival and unstable foothold, first rush them with the momentum of thunder, and then take advantage of the chaos to fight them in close combat.

Hmph, these short hairs are just relying on the firearms of foreigners to be so arrogant, and they are really close, where are the opponents of our Mongolian warriors.

As for this time, although the enemy situation is unknown, we are also very clear about our own strength, which is called knowing oneself and not knowing the other, winning and losing. As a general, sometimes you have to be a little gambling!

Since I want to take action myself, I naturally have to win the battle, otherwise how will I be the coach in the future? How can you convince the public?

However, fighting a war is not child's play after all, although I am very sure, but you still don't have to take the lead, just follow behind to reap the benefits, understand? ”

"Yes, I understand Amma, and Erchen will go and prepare." After saying that, Boyan Nemohu also slapped his horse and left.

Soon, with a long and heavy whining, the already restless Mongolian cavalry began to move again.

Since there is a plain outside Xujia Village, there is enough space for cavalry to gallop, so this cavalry charge is a kind of frontal assault with nearly 100 people in a horizontal column and nearly 100 people in a column, a total of more than 10,000 cavalry launched at the same time.

10,000 cavalry charged at the same time, the dust raised covered the sky and the sun, and the shouts of killing resounded through the clouds.

And behind these cavalry, the infantry of the brigade is not fast to follow, and the total number is not 10,000 people, judging by this scale, this is a general attack.

Unfortunately, these cavalry infantry faced elite troops using modern rapid-fire weapons and explosive weapons, and the result could only be tragic.

Seeing that the other party actually launched such a large-scale charge all at once, Li Yongji, who had been prepared, shook his head with a smile, and then waited quietly, waiting for the moment when he broke out.

Since most of these soldiers were new to the new weapons, in order to give full play to the power of the weapons, Li Yongji marked some references on the front line of the position in advance.

That is, the front-line positions are divided into grids in advance, and then marked with numbers, using some stones and the like as references, these are the parameters of the firing range of various weapons.

Then, Li Yongji asked people to lock the elevation angle of the two heavy weapons of 107 mm rocket launcher and 82 mm mortar in advance, that is, to lock their firing range, so that when their soldiers use it, they don't need to adjust the elevation angle or anything like that, they only need to follow their own orders and launch them at the approximate target.

Bazookas are not used with machine guns, submachine guns, or semi-automatic rifles, which soldiers quickly become familiar with the characteristics of these weapons as long as they give the order to fire. Even if you are not familiar with it, you will never have a problem with strafing with dense fire, just remind them not to overheat the chamber, and the bullets will be enough anyway.

It was precisely because he had done this in advance that Li Yongji was so calm, and seeing that the other party had launched a dense cavalry charge, it was right in the middle.

Li Yongji did not rush to let his troops open fire, but let the opponent's cavalry continue to advance, and waited until the opponent's vanguard cavalry had advanced to 400 meters away from his first barbed wire. He began to give the order to attack.

The first to fire was the Type 63 107mm rocket launcher, which can shoot 12 107mm rockets in a single salvo, a total of 24 rocket launchers, and a salvo shot 288 rockets!

The maximum launch distance of this Type 63 107mm rocket is 8,500 meters, but here in order to increase accuracy and make the bombing effect better, it is actually aimed at a target of 5,000 meters, that is, ten miles away.

Due to the early locking of the launch range. Therefore, this 107-mm rocket is aimed at a target within a range of 5,000 to 3,000 meters, and within this distance, it is the middle of the Qing cavalry assault brigade, in other words. At this time, the rocket artillery was fired, in fact, to cut off this area, so that the people in front could not retreat, so that the people behind could not advance.

Also firing at the same time were 82-mm mortars.

As a result of hitching a ride with domestic arms dealers. Therefore, the mortars that Zhang Xinda gave Li Yongji this time are all domestically produced PP87 82mm mortars, and they are no longer the original 81mm mortars. The main reason is the price factor.

The rate of fire of this mortar can reach 30 rounds per minute, the firing range is more than 5,000 meters, and the power of the shells is also very good, and the killing radius of the steel ball high-explosive grenade is 26 meters, which is much larger than the 12.5 meters of the 107-mm rocket projectile.

The 42 mortars were each with a different scale, aimed at a target within a range of 3,000 to 1,000 meters, and all of them fired simultaneously and then fired at an average rate of 20 rounds per minute.

In this way, more than 800 shells can be fired in one minute, and 13 shells can be dropped in almost a second, plus the use of high-explosive steel ball grenades, almost turning a range of 3,000 to 1,000 meters into a death zone.

It can be said that the cavalry within the range of mortar bombardment suffered most of the steel balls that exploded, and most of them did not die immediately, but they were going to die eventually, so the misery was worse than suffering from 107 mm rockets.

As for the cavalry within a kilometer to 500 meters from the barbed wire, it was handed over to 40-mm rocket launchers, which were also made of steel ball grenades, and the explosion effect was not inferior to that of 82-mm mortars.

The last 500 to 200 meters are within the range of machine guns, submachine guns, and semi-automatic rifles, and of course, if the cavalry rushing here is not frightened by the miserable situation behind and continues to run forward, the final result will still be death.

Of course, even if they ran backwards, they would not survive, because it would take time for the cavalry to stop their forward charge, and the soldiers who fired would not give them a chance to escape.

In this way, because Li Yongji set up a stage firing area in advance according to the range and power of various weapons, and then launched it at the same time, the effect caused by it was also quite obvious, but this burst of guns and cannons rang out, and the 10,000 charging cavalry immediately suffered heavy losses, just losing more than 3,000 cavalry at once, and the remaining cavalry was also frightened and lost their souls, and scattered and fled like birds and beasts.

Not only the cavalry, but also the infantry who were rushing behind were also frightened by the miserable scene in front at this time, and they shouted and retreated backwards, no, they fled.

At this time, even the monk Greenqin was frightened to death, and he also knew that he couldn't stop this rout, so he was persuaded by his own soldiers, so he half-pushed and half-pushed his horse and fled.

Seeing that the Qing army began to fully rout and flee, a terrible charge horn sounded, and the two thousand cavalry who had been prepared for a long time jumped out, rushed out of the arranged cavalry passage in turn, and then brandished their sabers and began the pursuit and annihilation battle loudly!

In this way, the total battle was less than two hours, and the battle called the sniper battle of Xujia Village by later generations ended, and the Jingwu army only suffered five minor injuries, all of whom accidentally fell from their horses during the pursuit, and the Qing army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and even the son of Monk Lingqin was killed in this battle.

What's even more terrifying is that this battle dealt a severe blow to the morale of the Qing army, and those soldiers who fled back always exaggerated the scale of this battle, whether they were really scared or in order to shirk responsibility, which in turn caused the morale of the entire Qing army camp and other departments to waver.

In short, although this battle was short, the significance was heavy, and he directly shook the military spirit of the Qing army, especially the will to resist of the commander Seng Greenqin, which also cleared some obstacles for the later major counterattack operations, and added some victory weight for the Jingwu army.
