Chapter 300: Interception of military rations

On the main road east of Jiaozhi City, 10,000 rebel guards and thousands of grain trucks have entered the encirclement preset by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the 20,000 horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army ambushed on both sides of the road are ready to attack.

However, the more than 10,000 men and horses of the rebels were completely unaware of the danger around them, and the brigade still marched forward step by step in a marching column.

Tie Niu and Zhao Wu glanced at each other, and then ordered loudly: "Soldiers, attack, kill ......"

Hearing the order, 20,000 soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army suddenly rushed out of the woods on both sides of the road and killed the marching rebel ranks.

"It's not good, it's the Jin army, it's the Jin army." The rebels were suddenly attacked, and for a moment they were thrown into chaos.

The Northern Expeditionary Army seized the opportunity, and the whole army rushed to the enemy like a tiger descending from the mountain, and soon the two sides were short to each other, and after a period of fighting, the rebels could not resist the fierce offensive of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and began to scatter in all directions, and the men and horses responsible for transporting grain and grass had already fled.

For the rout of the rebels, the Northern Expeditionary Army did not chase after them, but immediately transported the grain carts abandoned by the rebels to Jiaozhi City.

Half an hour later, thousands of grain trucks have been transported into Jiaozhi City, and the main force of the rebels responsible for harassing the Northern Expeditionary Army also got the news that the military rations were robbed, and suddenly, all the rebel soldiers were nervous, this batch of grain and grass is related to the safety of the 60,000 main forces in the direction of Guilin County, but now it has been robbed by the Jin army, how can this be done.

The rebel generals really couldn't figure out how such a well-designed plan for transporting grain and grass could be cracked by the Northern Expeditionary Army so lightly, thousands of grain trucks, loaded with tens of thousands of denier of military rations!

The angry rebel generals got together to discuss for a while, and then began to lead the army to attack the city, wanting to recapture the grain and grass that belonged to them, but where was this rabble the opponent of the elite division of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the infantry had already returned to the city, Hua'an decided to teach them a good lesson, so that this group of rabble would know the combat power of the elite division of the imperial court.

"Thunderstorm, you immediately led all the cavalry in the army out of the city from the north gate, went around the back of the rebels to deal a fatal blow to the rebels, and my personal battalion was also handed over to you." Huaan ordered the thunderstorm.

"Yes, big brother, I'll go now." Thunderstorm took his command.

"Zhao Wu and Tie Niu, you two are responsible for defending the city, and when the cavalry of the thunderstorm is about to detour behind the rebels, you will open the city gate and fight the rebels head-on." Hua An then ordered.

"Yes, big brother." Zhao Wu and Tie Niu clenched their fists to receive their lives.

After issuing the order, Hua An stood at the head of the city, looked at the rebels who were killing the city, and said to himself: "I was going to let you go first, but since you took the initiative to send you to death, it is no wonder that I am alone." ”

This is Hua'an's true thoughts, there are nearly 30,000 rebels outside the city, if it is a head-on decisive battle, the Northern Expeditionary Army will definitely have a lot of casualties, and many soldiers will die, which Hua'an does not want to see, but since the rebels have launched a challenge, as the general responsible for countering the rebellion in the imperial court, Hua'an naturally cannot show weakness, and must strike hard at the arrogance of the rebels, even if they pay a lot of casualties.

"Big brother, the rebels are on par with our army, and if they rush to a head-on decisive battle, the casualties will definitely not be small." Wang San also took this into account.

Hua An nodded and said: "The rebels have taken the initiative to launch a large-scale attack, and their arrogance is so arrogant, how can our army not teach a hard lesson, even if the losses are large, this battle must be fought." ”

"This is also, if you can't hold on, it will inevitably be regarded as weak, now the rebels' tens of thousands of denier rations have been intercepted by our army, this battle, as long as our army can defeat the rebels, it will be difficult for the rebels to gather the scattered men and horses again." Wang San frowned and analyzed carefully.

Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth and said: "Wang San, your analysis is very correct, the rebels have lost their food and grass, as long as they are defeated in a battle, they will no longer have the strength to confront our army in a short time." ”

"Big brother, be careful." One of the rebels' arrows shot at Hua'an, and Wang San's eyes were quick, and he stretched out his hand and pulled Hua'an to a safe position.

Watching the arrows fly over his head, Hua An couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, just now because he was proud in his heart, he was careless.

The rebels are all composed of fierce South Vietnamese people, and if you talk about individual combat strength, they are not necessarily weaker than the Northern Expeditionary Army, but the rebels lack formal training, have no formation at all, and fight all by virtue of courage and lack of discipline.

Such a force is very powerful when it charges, but once it is attacked and it breaks up, it is difficult to organize again, and the rout means complete defeat.

The rebel soldiers carried dozens of simple ladders and launched a fierce assault on the city of Jiaozhi, gathering the rebel crossbowmen under the city to cover it, and the intensity of the attack was very large, but it was the 20,000 main army of the Northern Expeditionary Army that guarded the city, and the rebels wanted to break through the city, which was obviously a fantasy.

The attack lasted for three minutes, the edge of the rebels gradually showed signs of weakness, hundreds of rebel corpses piled up under the city, and at this time, the thunderstorm army in charge of the detour was about to arrive at the designated position, Hua'an immediately decided, in the interval between the two rounds of attacks of the rebels, ordered to open the city gate, and the main infantry all launched an attack on the rebels outside the city.

The city gate slowly opened, and the main infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army lined up in a neat pace, and under the leadership of the main generals Tie Niu and Zhao Wu, they slaughtered outside the city and launched an attack on the rebels besieging the city.

Only Hua An, Wang San and hundreds of guards were left on the city wall, and Hua An held the female wall with both hands, looking at the battle situation under the city.

When the rebels saw that the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army in the city actually opened the city gate and went out of the city to meet the battle, they were all shocked in their hearts, and they were stunned for a moment, and then shouted to kill the main infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army lined up in a decisive battle formation under the city of Jiaozhi, and killed the rebels in a neat pace, and the two armies were not far apart, and they fought together in an instant.

Although the rebel soldiers were extremely brave, the most important thing in the battle of the large corps was the use of formation and strategy, and the combat power of individual soldiers could only be ranked last, so although the fierce attack of the rebels caused a lot of casualties to the Northern Expeditionary Army, it could not shake the neatly arranged formation of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

As long as the cavalry corps of the Thunderstorm comes out from the flank of the rebels, it will inevitably be able to disperse the rebel soldiers, and at that time, the main force of the infantry of the Northern Expeditionary Army will immediately be transformed into an offensive formation and launch a fierce attack on the rebels.

"Kill, rush!" Thunderstorm shouted loudly and led all the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army to attack the rebels' flank.

The cavalry corps appeared in a timely manner, and the rebels were caught off guard, and the team was scattered and scattered.

"The rebels are defeated, the rebels are defeated, kill all the rebels, kill all the rebels." Thunderstorms shouted loudly to boost morale.
