No one knew that Zhen Feiyu's palms were already sweating when he heard the cannon.

The sound of the cannon was like a thunderclap in his ears.

He knew very well that the strength of his bureau was a typical infantry battalion configuration. Each team has two bird guns, which belong to the secondary training subjects, and as long as the soldiers can use them, they are considered qualified. As for such a big thing as artillery, there are only five tiger squat guns, which are placed in the guards team directly under the bureau.

Moreover, these five tiger squat cannons are all small tiger squatting cannons that are two feet long and weigh thirty-six pounds. This cannon is made of wrought iron, each time with gunpowder seven or eight taels, can fire five coins heavy lead bullet 100 pieces, in order to prevent the small mouth from large, scatter the disadvantages of powerlessness, but also use a large lead or large stone weighing 30 taels to slowly build into the muzzle...... This will have a moderate range, but it will never hit the camp of the thieves - otherwise there will be no need to wait until now to fire.

The arrangements for She'an's general offensive today were very secretive, but they could not be concealed among the middle and high-ranking officers. It is impossible for the transportation of grain, the arrangements made by military judges, and the preliminary preparations for all kinds of preparatory materials to be airtight. And strictly speaking, the officers of the East Palace Guard Battalion were all taught by a teacher, and everyone knew all kinds of movements.

Although the thieves will not be able to attack them just like this, they must definitely mobilize their defenses and increase their vigilance. The surprise attack battle that She An painstakingly arranged was most likely completely destroyed with this cannon sound.

If it weren't for the tiger squat, then there would only be a Franco machine from the Chinese Military Firearms Bureau.

Zhen Feiyu's heart was relieved.

The Firearms Bureau is the heart and soul of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and there were even rumors before that the Firearms Bureau would be upgraded to a firearms battalion, and the whole battalion would use firearms. The commander Xiao Mo should be more aware of the importance of firearms, but he still divided them into three parts to guard important checkpoints. Among them, in order to respond to She An, a Furlong machine was also divided, which was nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhen Feiyu. In fact, there is some immediacy.

The captain had to report to his own president Bai for everything, and he didn't take Zhen Feiyu in his eyes at all, which had already made Zhen Baizong unhappy. Now seeing that they have made such a big mistake, I unconsciously feel a little happy.

But the pleasure quickly faded.

Because the trouble in front of me has burned to the eyebrows.

The total number of 1,000 Zhongquan guards left by Liu Zongmin, together with auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands, is also around 35,000. Today's thieves are no longer the rogues who saw the officials and soldiers fleeing in the past, and now they themselves have military merit incentives and military law constraints, and they hear the sound of cannons. The first reaction was naturally an enemy attack, and the generals of the various departments hurriedly looked for their righteous sons and subordinates, and there was really chaos for a while.

After cutting off a few heads, the riot was finally suppressed and did not cause a larger roar. The mighty general who led the troops did not understand that the officers and soldiers of Weishenme had fired their cannons but did not attack, but he did not have the curiosity to verify them, so he just asked people to wait in formation, ready to wait for work, no matter where the officers and troops attacked, it would not be beneficial. Anyway, he was ordered to hold the camp. Contain and hinder the Ruyang official army from going south to support Ruzhou, so that Liu Zongmin has enough time to catch the "big fish" in Ruzhou City.

- But if the war starts, it's too dangerous to have such a cannon on your side!

The mighty general thought for a while, and raised the long whip in his hand: "Send someone to find out their truth, it's best to get rid of their cannon!" ”

No one wants to be in front of the battle, with artillery bombardment on the flanks. Moreover, according to the consistent urine nature of the Ming army, although the artillery is powerful, the artillery soldiers will flee when they see the enemy. So just rushing over it is a big credit. And now it's not the same as it used to be, when there was nothing in the camp. If you get a cannon, you can only melt the casting weapon. Now the battalion also has its own gunners and cannons, which were used a lot in the first attack on Xiangyang.

As a first-hand witness of the Battle of Xiangyang, this mighty general never wanted to leave this aftermath behind. Although he spoke vaguely, his men were very familiar with him, and in a short time he had three hundred soldiers, including a hundred horsemen. It's all armor and complete. In addition, there were five or six hundred auxiliary soldiers, each with a big stick in their hands, looking mighty and murderous, and the formation was not much better than the officers and soldiers.

The position of the mighty general in the camp is inferior to that of General Guo Yi, and General Guo Yi is already a high position qualified for the title of marquis. Someone who can do this position. was favored by Liu Zongmin again, how could he be an incompetent person? Since he is in charge of the rearguard, he will not be beaten with a smile. But finding the enemy is a profound science, otherwise you will only leave a laughing stock if you hit the iron plate.

-- Most of the reasons why this camp opened artillery inexplicably were due to problems with military discipline, otherwise how could it have disturbed the enemy by firing artillery for no reason? In this case, the persimmon picks the soft pinch, and it must start with them first. If he wins the first battle and takes the courage of the officers and soldiers, he may be able to go down to Ruyang and Baisha in a row and make great contributions.

The mighty general said secretly in his heart.

……

"A rabble!" Zhen Feiyu stood on the sentry tower and looked at the thief army coming from the dark sky. This is the first time he has been in battle, and he has only seen the battle drills of the East Palace Guard Battalion before, and they are all in clear formations, and they are well-founded. However, this rushing thief only vaguely divided the three-layer horizontal formation of horse infantry, once it faced a vertical formation like the Mandarin Duck Formation, it could not give full play to its advantages in numbers, and was finally broken through and defeated.

"Report!" The herald galloped his horse, stopped at the foot of the sentry tower, raised his head and said loudly: "Report to the general of the hundred, the fifth division will ask the general She An: Why did you fire the cannon for no reason!" ”

"It's been checked. There was a folk man who was bewitched by thieves who detected the sneak attack of our army, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards to fire a warning shot. "Zhen Feiyu found out the truth as soon as possible, and the Tangma who reported to She An and Xiao Mo had also been dispatched, I am afraid that he had gone wrong with the people sent by She An. If the Tangma who went to Ruyang also went badly, it is estimated that Xiao Mo's people will also come soon.

Although the Fran machine is not as good as the general cannon, it is only better than the rear-loading type because of its high rate of fire, so it is favored by the prince, but at this quiet shijie and time point, its roar is enough to shake a radius of five miles.

The herald was about to turn his horse's head and leave, but was stopped by Zhen Feiyu again. This Bai general said: "Inform the vanguard officer that our department will resist the thieves, and ask the vanguard officer to attack head-on and break the enemy in one fell swoop." ”

The herald gave a military salute on his horse, shouted "Ride", and slapped his horse away.

Zhen Feiyu looked at the gradually falling flying dust, and once again set his eyes on the approaching thief. Behind him, there was the camp of guards of the East Palace, which had been neatly arranged, standing quietly, feeling the vibrations coming from the earth.

……

"Zhen Feiyu is asking for help." She An listened to the briefing, and the anger caused by the sound of the cannon had dissipated a lot. Although this shot caught him off guard, it was his idea to take in the homeless, who knew that he would be mixed in with the thieves' spies!

Truly the kindness of a woman, woe will be.

Fortunately, it doesn't have to lose.

"He can only ask Xiao Mo to send troops to save him, the enemy's own formation must be ready, if our troops move, the enemy will attack me sideways, or go straight to the rear of our army, so that our troops are tired of mobilization, and they will inevitably be killed." She An drew the terrain between the two armies in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion: "Only by confronting and engaging with the main force of the enemy, there is no extra manpower to save Zhen Feiyu." ”

"I just don't know how long Zhen Feiyu's side can hold out." A staff officer worried: "If Xiao commands the reinforcements that have not yet arrived, he has been broken by the enemy, then the reinforcements will be set up inside." ”

"What about the retreat?" The instructor asked weakly.

The officers and staff officers of the guard battalion of the East Palace didn't look at him. Now that the desire to fight in the camp is extremely strong, even if Xiao Mo orders Zhen Feiyu to withdraw from the army, Zhen Feiyu may still want to fight and leave. Moreover, as soon as Zhen Feiyu retreated, the flanks of the Fifth Division would be exposed under the enemy's blades, and the Fifth Division would only be able to retreat at that time.

This is absolutely unacceptable to She'an.

"Report! The enemy brigade is attacking this position! "Sentinel Pegasus delivers military information to the front of the tent.

She An gently shook the fish scale armor on his body and said, "After all, he has to come, otherwise his partial division that beat Zhen Feiyu will be useless." All of them! Array! ”

Everyone looked at the map, and there was only one thought in their hearts: it was a mule or a horse, and it was time to slip away.

Bang!

Another cannon rang out, hitting everyone's hearts like thunder.

She An picked up the clairvoyant mirror and followed the sound to find it.

It's the low mountain that doesn't even have a name. Just for the sake of clarity in the military order, this mountain was given the code name of "Egg Mountain". Who would have thought that the thieves not only stationed more than 100 people on the mountain, but also carried artillery.

Can that Wonder Soldier still work? (To be continued......)
