316 Stealing is not successful
For a while, the scene was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke after the firecracker, accompanied by these gunsmoke, there were roars and screams, many bandits who were shot were wailing on the ground, they wanted to sneak attack the Sichuan army, and the Sichuan army was caught off guard, but they didn't expect the Sichuan army to wait here early in the morning, anyway, they were caught off guard.
"Shoot the arrows and charge me, they only have a few hundred people, and they can't ride horses, and there are so many of us that we drown them with a mouthful of spit." Seeing that the attack was blocked, Lao Huihui was surprised, he couldn't think of anything wrong, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, although the Sichuan army had been prepared, but these did not hinder the determination to attack.
What went wrong?
Lao Huihui can't figure it out, but now he doesn't have time to think, Feilai Peak is a cliff on three sides, only the east side is up and down, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and on the other hand, it is easy to surround, the Sichuan army on this Feilai Peak is only a few hundred people, and the advantage of the cavalry is weakened by the mountain, this opportunity is extremely rare, what do you refuse to give up, what is the matter, fight down and talk about it.
"Quick, pay attention to concealment, firecrackers, archers, give me a stand-up" Lao Hui pulled out the knife and shouted loudly: "This battle is not allowed to be defeated, and those who dare to flee will be killed." ”
The subordinates were frightened and at a loss, but when they roared back, they quickly settled down the army, fell to the ground one by one, and began to fight back with bows and arrows and firearms, and the battle suddenly became fierce.
Just when Lao Huihui was surprised that the Sichuan army seemed to be an unknown prophet ambushing here, Lu Haoshan secretly wiped his sweat, and shouted luck in his heart, he didn't expect Lao Huihui to be so cunning, using the clothes and armor of the official army to deceive his scouts and sentinels, and quietly approached his own camp. Fortunately, there is a battle-hardened Tang Qiang by his side, and he can judge from the sound of footsteps that he is not good.
There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, and it is even more rare to have a battle-hardened veteran by his side.
Lu Haoshan was fortunate that in addition to the well-trained subordinates who completed the defensive preparations in the shortest time with the smallest movement, and tested the results of the weekday training, which was related to his own caution, but it was a little inconvenient, Lu Haoshan still chose to camp in Feilai Peak, where the terrain was dangerous. Although he was heavily guarded, he still did a lot of fortifications and built a few checkpoints, not because Lu Haoshan was afraid of death, but because he had too few subordinates and could no longer withstand the toss, that is, this caution would not be at a loss now.
"My lord, the thief has fired an arrow." Zhao Gongchang walked to Lu Haoshan's side and said with a heavy face.
Lu Haoshan said calmly: "Normal." Lao Hui Hui only brought more than a thousand people this time, and it was a fool's dream to eat us, seeing that those people still had so many firearms to fight back, Lao Hui Hui, who had just been annihilated by us, must not have recovered his vitality quickly. It is estimated that it is the same as dealing with Dong Jian's unlucky bastard, and they will join forces to attack, and if they guess correctly, most of them will secretly follow behind. And then you'll be killed. ”
On the surface, he was calm, but Lu Haoshan was secretly glad in his heart, although he was surrounded by people like Dong Jian. However, there are three differences, one is that his soldiers are well-trained, and Dong Jian's soldiers are proud and complacent; the second is that he was prepared in advance, Dong Jian was killed by thieves into the camp before he hurriedly responded to the battle; The third is that when he was surrounded, Dong Jian's people were in the mountain enclosure, like a turtle in an urn, and he was on the top of the mountain, which had a geographical advantage.
Although there are only 700 people, there are more than 500 firearms available to his subordinates, each of whom is equipped with strong bows and artillery, Lu Haoshan is confident that he will let these people die as many as they want, and besides, send carrier pigeons and scouts in advance, and reinforcements will arrive soon.
"Bang Bang"
"Whoosh"
"Brothers, call me."
"Kill, kill one person and reward ten taels, and those who catch Lu Wenhua will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver."
In the dark night, the two armies exchanged fires, in order to annihilate Lu Haoshan, Ma Huihui and others were also desperate, and took out their family funds, not only sent the elite in their hands, but also put together more than 200 firearms, in the dark night Lu Haoshan's subordinates handed over the fire, and the smoke was filled for a while, and the scene was extremely lively.
Zhao Gong often blamed himself and said: "My lord, these are all the fault of the villain, and the villain asks the adult to punish him." ”
On weekdays, Zhao Gongchang is in charge of intelligence work, including vigilance, but if it weren't for Tang Qiang this time, it would almost become a catastrophe, and under the guilt, Zhao Gongchang took the initiative to ask for punishment.
"Let's talk about it after this battle" Lu Haoshan waved his hand and said: "Bring me a horse, I want to see how this old man can break through the three lines of defense composed of my hundreds of muskets." ”
"Yes, sir."
Lu Haoshan does have proud capital, although there are few subordinates, but they are all elite, good food and shelter, a lot of gunpowder feeding, the terrain is dangerous, the grain and grass are sufficient, and there are many officers and soldiers around, it will not take long for someone to respond, if it is flat, it is still a little afraid, but with the advantage of terrain, I am really not afraid.
While speaking, the battle situation is still stalemate, the sound of muskets, sharp arrows breaking through the air, and screams are still not unaear, but Lu Haoshan calmly watched the battlefield with a clairvoyant eye, in the clairvoyant, a rebel wearing cotton armor, no, it was a mob, I saw him carefully show his head, and he didn't aim much, and he was ready to fire on the position above, just before the fuse was lit, an iron pellet broke through the air, and hit his right arm at once, the mob was knocked to the ground, struggling in pain, The blazing fire fell to the ground and struck his accomplice in the thigh with a "bang".
There was another wailing voice on the battlefield.
In the confrontation between the fire gun and the bow and arrow, the suzhì of both sides immediately came out, and Lao Huihui's men fell down one by one with a scream, and the corpses under the mountain were already piled up, while Wen Chongjun was only a few wounded, and the casualties were very different.
If you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat more grass, in order to train the troops, Lu Haoshan can be said to invest regardless of the cost, such as arrows, ammunition to release the supply, with a pile of arrows and barrels of gunpowder "feeding", in order to improve its accuracy, the speed of gunpowder consumption is the well-informed Tang Qiang and Zhao Gongchang feel pain, so the accuracy of his subordinates is not bad, and archery is a compulsory item of Wenchong Qianhu, there is this kind of table on the battlefield, it can be said that it is thick and thin.
This point, even the most elite subordinates of Lao Huihui and others are beyond the reach of the dust, they are originally a rabble, the organization and discipline are very poor, most of them are ordinary people with only brute strength, they hide in Tibet on weekdays, and they care about how to survive all day long, and how to train without any thoughts, these gaps are not something that can be made up by desperately.
In the narrow terrain, he couldn't give full play to the advantage of numbers, and when he looked back at the officers and soldiers on the mountain who kept firing guns and arrows, he was jealous and resentful, but he didn't expect Lu Haoshan's subordinates to ride on horses and be unstoppable, even if they dismounted as infantry, it was so difficult.
"Leader Ma, the firepower of the officers and soldiers is too fierce, and the brothers can't stop it." A big bearded man crawled over and said with a worried expression.
Lao Hui recognized that this person was Zhao Desheng, a subordinate of Man Tianxing.
In fact, not only Zhao Desheng was worried, but even Lao Huihui was also very responsible, the sneak attack failed, and he was violently counterattacked by the officers and soldiers.
"yes, it's a hard bone." Lao Hui sighed.
Zhao Desheng said in a low voice: "Leader Ma, it is difficult for us to rush forward, it is better to retreat, stay in the green mountains, and not be afraid of no firewood." ”
"No," Lao Hui flatly refused: "The more difficult it is to attack, the more we have to take him, and it is too dangerous for such an enemy to stay here." ”
After speaking, Lao Huihui added: "Without the war horse, these people are like breaking a hand, and if you don't destroy them now, it will be even more difficult in the future." ”
"However, the casualties of the brothers are too great, and it will not work like this, Leader Ma, you have to think of a way, or the brothers will be gone." Zhao Desheng said worriedly.
Lao Huihui had been thinking about this problem for a long time, and he also put his mind right, and nodded when he heard the words: "The most important thing for officers and soldiers is muskets and bows and arrows, it is these two things that make the brothers unable to rush forward, let people find some planks to make shields, or cut down some trees and tie them together, as long as they are close, we will fight with them, anyway, there are many of us, not afraid." ”
The sneak attack failed, and Lao Huihui also corrected his mentality and regarded this battle as a tough battle. (To be continued......)
