Chapter 203: Very vegetable
Go and do it yourself, Mo Xiancheng shook his head, Meng Yun is the commander of the artillery battalion, and it is understandable to dispatch the artillery battalion first, but it is really incomprehensible to do it himself.
Raising the clairvoyant mirror, he saw Meng Yun start to act, and soon after, Mo Xiancheng became even more dizzy.
"What is this for? Xiaohu, without the cooperation of the foot soldiers, the artillery battalion went up directly like this, what should I do if it was swept by the enemy? ”
"This time it's a military training! Let me see what happened to Li Chengdong and Li Benshen's army? ”
"Not how? If so, will they run? Mo Xiancheng understood, this Zhou Huchen didn't say how Li Chengdong and Li Benshen were, Zhou Huchen meant to see if his artillery could stop the fleeing army in the move, and then use cavalry and infantry to completely defeat it.
It's a crazy and dangerous tactic, the enemy army is 100,000 people, isn't it a bit big!
Well, Mo Xiancheng actually saw it, Zhou Huchen was ready, nearly 10,000 cavalry were on the flanks to prevent artillery accidents, just play, anyway, in Mo Xiancheng's impression, Zhou Huchen has not tasted defeat so far. Will Li Chengdong and Li Benshen be able to defeat their own army? Unless it's a dream.
The drizzle had been falling for a long time, and the road was looking a little muddy.
Li Chengdong led the team in front, and the governor Li Benshen was in charge of the Chinese army, and as long as he crossed the Bianhe River in Sizhou, he could go straight to Yangzhou. Although Yangzhou is the territory of Zhou Huchen's father and son, although there have been some conflicts, Li Chengdong believes that the cooperation between the two sides in Henan some time ago was quite good. Although there is a suspicion of being fooled, but after all, they have fought side by side, Li Chengdong is confident to persuade Zhou Huchen and his son, how to say that his 100,000 people are also a huge help, Li Chengdong believes that Zhou Huchen and his son will not refuse to "assist in defense" in Yangzhou.
There is a big difference between knowing history and not knowing history, whether Li Chengdong met Zhou Huchen, if it wasn't for Zhou Huchen knowing the history, of course he would welcome Li Chengdong and Li Benshen to jointly defend Jiannu. It's a pity that Zhou Huchen is a traverser.
"Report to the marshal~~ Discover the enemy!"
The scout's return made Li Chengdong fight a clever and enemy situation, and the scout reported the enemy situation, that is, there were enemy troops in front.
It is impossible for the Qing army to appear here, and the defenders of Sizhou do not have the guts, could it be Zhou Yuji's army? But how could Zhou Yuji's army regard themselves as enemies?
Finally, Li Chengdong saw it, although it was still far away, Li Chengdong saw many soldiers moving forward. Without flags, the soldiers' costumes were vaguely familiar.
Li Chengdong couldn't understand that these people didn't look like they were greeting him, but like they were attacking him. However, just that little person, his 100,000 army is simply a drop in the middle, what is the difference between this and sending him to death.
"Cavalry ready, show me whose team it is." Li Chengdong is still a little cautious, if it is really Zhou Yuji's army, it is better not to have a conflict.
Several of Li Chengdong's cavalry scouts marched forward, and in front, a team of about three or four thousand people was also moving forward.
Meng Yun's artillery was protected by gunners and auxiliaries, who were also responsible for the delivery of ammunition. And those mortars Meng Yun was reluctant to let these auxiliaries transport, mortars were too precious, Meng Yun thought that it would be more reassuring for his own gunners to transport them.
Several scouts from the other side were getting closer and closer, and Meng Yun directly ordered: "Fire Gunner, go and kill them for me!" ”
Suddenly, the scouts sent by Li Chengdong found that two squads appeared in front of them, and quickly formed a left-right flanking trend. What's going on? The cavalry is the king of mobility, and it was actually flanked by the infantry.
At the moment when he saw it clearly, Li Chengdong's scout turned around and left, because they knew these firecrackers and had suffered losses in Xuzhou, and this firecracker was very powerful and terrible. Now that I can see clearly, it is Zhou Yuji's army, and there is no doubt that the clothes are a little different from the ordinary Ming army. These people continued to advance without fear, and behind them, Li Chengdong's scouts also faintly saw that tens of thousands of troops were eyeing them.
Meng Yun led the team to still advance, and on both flanks, the firecrackers were ready to cover.
At the same time as the scouts returned, Li Chengdong suddenly found that his team was a little chaotic, not only the noisy sounds, but also the speed of progress seemed to slow down. The front team and the back team were a little unorderly crowded, which made him frown.
Li Chengdong understood that his subordinates were afraid of being beaten by the other party, but he couldn't figure it out, Zhou Yuji's army weishenme wants to be like this, I haven't offended you recently!
"Quick, the person who went to inform Zhou Shuai is his own person! Just go! ”
Li Chengdong's order could not be disobeyed, but the scouts were a little worried, and they rode out again, this time much slower.
Meng Yun did not stop, according to visual inspection, it was now less than three miles away from the Ming army on the opposite side, and this distance was not within the range.
The scouts sent by Li Chengdong were approaching, while Meng Yun's team was still advancing unhurriedly.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and suddenly, Li Chengdong's scouts found that the other party ran violently for a while, and then stopped. The efficiency was very high, because Meng Yun gave the order, and the artillery was set up in the blink of an eye.
In the confusion of these scouts, there was a loud bang, and while these Li Chengdong scouts were frightened by the war horses under their crotches, countless small black shadows crossed these scouts in the sky.
Li Chengdong was very unlucky, because half of Zhou Huchen's mortars were mortars with the addition of No. 1 on the basis of the original mortars. These mortars were improved and made by Chen Xing under the instruction of Zhou Huchen, Chen Xing was very responsible and serious, and the production of these mortars was impeccable, not only with a longer range, but also with more powerful shells.
One shell fell, two shells fell, and the shells in the back kept falling as if they didn't want money. As long as it is within range, no one is immune, the projectile is too dense. This frantic shelling continued without any intention of stopping.
In fact, the most terrible thing is not the number of projectiles, nor the excessive frequency, but the explosions, which do not stop
After several shellings in a row, there was no need to look at the battle situation in front at all, Meng Yun's war knife pointed forward, and the artillery team began to advance in the smoke of gunpowder.
The artillery bombardment was the signal of preparation, and Zhou Huchen's infantry began to follow, and a few miles away on the right flank, Liu Qi's cavalry also began to move.
If Li Chengdong could see and live, he would cry and cry to death. Zhou Huchen brought not many people than his soldiers, but the weapons were better than him, and the cavalry was an existence that he needed to look up to, and of course, he didn't need to look up to the artillery - it was a nightmare.
The terrible shelling stopped after nearly half an hour, and Zhou Huchen's infantry quickly engulfed his own artillery team. Liu Qisuo, who was facing east, led the cavalry to arrive, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves replaced the sound of cannons
The smoke of gunpowder went away with the breeze, and Zhou Huchen, who was riding on a war horse, raised the clairvoyant mirror: "Very vegetable!" ”
