Chapter 691: Night Attack II

What to do?

Rush out directly, in such a case, you will only get into a scuffle. But if no troops are sent to respond, the entire Annam battalion will be crippled or even annihilated.

There is too much uncertainty in the battle in the dark.

In the daytime battle, Zhu Houhuang believed that no matter what the situation, he would be able to win.

But now it's a different story.

He didn't want such a decisive battle.

It's just that it's okay to give up this one Annan battalion.

At the beginning, under Thang Long City, the Mo army attacked the camp, and Zhu Houhuang did not move, which directly led to a battalion of the Thanh Hoa army, and almost the entire army was annihilated. It's just that the situation is different now.

First, the previous Qinghua Army was naturally not distressed that Zhu Houhuang was someone else's thing. And now the Annan army is all integrated troops, although the bottom army is still Annanite, but the officers are all Dongyong, which can be said to be Dongyong's own troops.

Other people's things, Zhu Houhuang is not distressed, but his own things Zhu Houhuang is distressed.

Second, he is ready to fight a quick battle under Thang Long City. It stands to reason that the step-by-step siege of the city with artillery is enough to destroy the Ouchi clan, and Nagasaki City is not in Zhu Houhuang's eyes.

But if the Ouchi clan had won such a big victory under the castle, it was unknown what the situation would have been.

Although Zhu Houhuang still has the confidence to achieve the final victory, the time will be delayed. It's not a good thing for Dongyong.

Zhu Houhuang only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately made a decision.

Because for the military, a bad decision is better than not making a decision.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Have the battalions in Annam been assembled? ”

"Assembled."

"Okay." Zhu Houhuang gritted his teeth and said with a bit of hideousness on his face: "Order all battalions in Annan to go to war." The two battalions of the Yongjun army did not move. Wait for dawn. ”

Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "The Japanese soldiers are powerful, but the elite of Annan is also extraordinary, this depends on who can win." ”

In the middle of the battle, Ouchi Yoshiyuki immediately felt that his enemies had increased. When he found out that the Yongjun army had actually sent reinforcements, he was overjoyed and said secretly: "God help me." This Yongwang is still not sophisticated enough. ”

After Ouchi Yoshihei rushed into the camp, he found that the entire camp was divided into several small camps, separated by ditches and fences, and when the whole camp was awakened, it was impossible to break the camp again.

Ouchi Yoshiko already had the intention of retiring from the army in his heart.

It's just that this soldier is not easy to retreat.

Especially in the darkness, as soon as this soldier is sprinkled, I don't know when it will be when I want to get together.

was in distress, and saw that Yongjun actually came to the rescue. suddenly felt that there was a chance to break the Yong army in a war.

He tried his best to control the soldiers around him, and rushed towards the reinforcements of the Yongjun army in a swarm.

What a scuffle.

Zhu Houhuang stood on top of the tower, with several guards standing beside him, using iron shields to block all directions that shot at Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang looked down with a clairvoyant mirror.

But in the darkness, only the firelight could be seen jumping, and the rest could not be seen at all.

The remaining three Annan battalions he dispatched, as many as 15,600 people, were not forced to pass by, but let one battalion go to the rescue, and the other two battalions were outflanked from both sides.

In fact, there are so many open spaces in the camp for fighting.

Whether it was the Yong army or the Ouchi clan's army, all the tents were bulldozed, leaving open space for battle.

So the situation changed dramatically throughout the camp.

The so-called outflanking did not go on at all, and it ran into the Japanese troops attacking the camp, and the whole camp was divided into two parts, one part was the Chinese army under the command of Zhu Houhuang, and everyone was waiting for them. All the torches that could be lit were lit, and the whole camp was lit up.

just waited for Zhu Houhuang to give an order.

But here to the east, it's chaos.

Countless people shouted and fought, from the beginning there was still a little formation, to the current no formation, it is completely you and me, I have you, and I don't even know how to retreat.

The torches that were originally lit were either knocked down and extinguished in the darkness, or some tent was lit, and there was a bigger fire. Some of the fires were so big that they swept a lot of people into it. Turned into a charred corpse between breaths.

But these fires will not last long, and over time these fires will slowly dim and go out.

Without lighting, many people can't tell the difference between friend and foe. Almost kill people when they see them, like a camp roar, it is simply the place where Shura's hell is located.

Zhu Houhuang held the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, the bones crackled, and the upper fingers of his hands were pinched and pale, without a little blood.

Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "This one is a loss." ”

In this scuffle, the casualties of the four battalions of Annan must have been very large, and Zhu Houhuang didn't need to look at it to know that now everyone on the battlefield has lost their minds, and they can't tell the difference between friend and foe, and they are all frantically fighting each other. I fear that he who dies at the hands of his own will not die any less at the hands of others.

In such a situation, it is no wonder that the losses of the four battalions of Annam can be smaller.

Zhu Houhuang felt a secret surge of remorse in his heart. But he couldn't do anything now, but waited quietly for the dawn.

Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's short.

The time of Ouchi Yoshixing's attack on the camp was already after midnight. The sunrise in summer is relatively early, and it stands to reason that it will not take much time for the sky to dawn, but Zhu Houhuang has a feeling that the days are like years.

In the second half of the night, there was much less fighting in the camp.

After most of the bonfires were extinguished, the Ouchi clan and the Annam army held each other together, and the entire camp became a myriad of small groups fighting.

When they don't fight, they sink each other, and when they fight, they will distinguish between life and death.

Ouchi Yoshixing is holding the Japanese sword with both hands, only to feel that the palm of his hand is a little wet, not sweat, but blood, I don't know when, on his arm, he has been hit by a sword, blood flowed down the arm, penetrated into the palm.

Ouchi Yoshihei said secretly: "This battle can be regarded as a defeat. ”

Ouchi Yoshiko wants to decide the winner in a battle, but it has become such a mess, and now he can't control his army at all, and he doesn't know how many people are left in his army.

And he looked at the bonfires in the west from afar, knowing that the Yongjun still had a complete reserve, even if it was a big victory, it would be impossible to drive the Yongjun into the sea.

Ouchi Yoshihei said secretly: "After dawn, retreat immediately." ”

It's not that he doesn't want to retreat in the dark, it's just that everyone is scattered and has become a plate of scattered sand, how can he retreat. Know that retreat is a more difficult military operation than an offensive.

After the fish belly turned white in the east, the sky seemed to suddenly change from night to day. 、

The light around him gradually became stronger, and the person who had been hidden in the darkness suddenly revealed his figure.

In an instant, the shouts of killing sounded again.

In fact, after a night of fierce fighting, both sides had no intention of fighting each other, and it was only after dawn that many of them discovered that they were so close to the enemy, and even some of them were in the dark, mixed in with the enemy's ranks, and killed their own people all night.

All kinds of chaos can't be explained clearly for a while.

They don't want to fight, but the other party enters their own safe distance, lest the other party strike first, only to strike first.

Ouchi Yoshiko immediately sent his soldiers, gathered the generals of the various ministries, and announced the order to retreat, but he did not care about anything else and went first.

Although Ouchi Yoshiko did not pay much attention to this melee, he also found that the losses of the Annan army were far greater than those of the Japanese army.

Without him, it is because of the question of the composition of the Japanese army.

Most of the Japanese army is a private army, and the soldiers under each general will follow this general for a lifetime, and even in the dark, they can determine each other's identities even if they are in the dark, and they cannot see each other, which is one of their great advantages.

Although the Japanese army is not able to control the large establishment, its organizational strength still exists in the small establishment.

But the Annan Army is different.

In order to eliminate the influence in the Annan army, Zhu Houhuang completely mixed the Annan army, and almost all of these Annan soldiers were strangers, although they had been trained for more than half a year, they could not fully trust each other.
