Chapter 221: Attack on the camp
Under the guise that the road was rotten and could not march, Gao Jie stayed still in place, and even soldiers went to damage the road in the middle of the night, digging large pits of stagnant water, and the passing business travelers were indeed unable to pass, so they could only make a detour, and the Donglin Party was able to have enough time to gather troops.
The original plan was to find a dangerous area to set up an ambush and take the Royal Guards Independent Battalion by surprise, but due to the damage to the road surface and impassable, the Royal Guards Independent Battalion camped still, and it may also retreat and return to the Beijing Division from another road, plus this is the boundary of the Beijing Division, and it is a big trouble to hide tens of thousands of horses without a trace, just eating and drinking Lazar is enough for the boss to have a terrible headache, and the time is pressing, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is, and the bosses of the Donglin Party can only change their plans and change the ambush to a sneak attack and a strong attack.
Theoretically, 10,000 is 7,000 more than 3,000, the number is completely crushed, and the Royal Guards Independent Battalion marches all the way, the tired division, the usual training is not a drill battle formation and fighting skills, but a variety of Qiba shows, which are useless, there is no reason why they can't win, and the bigwigs of the Donglin Party are quite confident in this battle, so they can't wait to order the army to attack, destroy the Royal Guards Independent Battalion, and burn all the evidence.
Due to the damage to the road surface is temporarily impassable, business travelers are detoured, plus private soldiers set up cards to guard, there are no pedestrians on this official road, tens of thousands of private soldiers dare to swagger in broad daylight to line up to march forward, the team is messy, but the Donglin Party boss who leads the team can't care so much, and it is the king to hurry up.
On the left side of the official road was a dense wooded area, on the right side of the overgrown wasteland, and under a few low trees, several men were lying on the dirty, damp mud floor, their faces covered with black mud and their heads covered with camouflage nets of tree branches, three of whom were holding monoculars to observe, and the other two were aiming with guns mounted on a removable iron tripod.
The two spears were just produced in small quantities, only equipped with rear-loading snipers from the hunter battalion snipers, using conical bullets, with an effective range of four or five hundred meters, and the two snipers had already locked on to the Donglin Party bosses of the unified army, but without an order, they could not shoot.
Gao Jie led his headquarters to act as bait, of course, he had to be cautious, not only digging fortifications, but also scattering groups of scouts to keep abreast of the movements of the Donglin Party's private soldiers.
The scout captain who led the team patted the backs of the two snipers and signaled to retreat, it is cool to kill the commander of the enemy army with one shot, but it is the right thing to kill this enemy army, they dare to shoot, and they will eat military law when they go back, even if the handsome man is in love, if he doesn't cut off their heads, the emperor will cut them, and no one dares to joke about his own head.
More than 10,000 Donglin Party private soldiers stopped seven or eight miles away from the camp of the independent battalion of the Royal Guards, and camped in the woods on the side of the road to rest, they did not dare to bury the pot to make a fire to cook, they could only gnaw on dry and cold hard rice balls, fortunately, the boss had money, and each private soldier had a large piece of cooked meat to gnaw, in addition to the place where they lived was too uncomfortable, the private soldiers could still bear it, and the fighting spirit was also quite excited.
In the grass not far from the main camp, there were several scout squads of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion, and any movement of the Donglin Party private soldiers was under their close supervision.
The night was uneventful, and it was not until the sky was about to light up that the well-fed private soldiers of the Donglin Party came out of the woods and swooped down on the camp of the Royal Guards Independent Battalion by the light of the hazy stars.
When approaching the camp, the sky began to brighten, and if the camp was quiet, the soldiers in the camp seemed to be still asleep, and there were only two soldiers standing guard outside the camp, yawning from time to time.
Private soldiers are the armed forces of each family, some of them are proficient in martial arts, and some even make a resounding name in the rivers and lakes, and these masters naturally act as vanguard warriors who steal camps.
"Someone, stop, or you'll shoot."
The soldiers on duty found that someone was sneaking closer, and immediately shouted with their guns, if it wasn't for Gao Shuai's order, they would have fired a gun long ago, and their acting skills were quite so-so.
Bang bang –
The crisp sound of gunfire pierced the silent dawn, and the two warriors who rushed forward fell down with a scream, although they were shot, they did not hit the vital point, lying on the wet and dirty mud and rolling and howling, they were a little puzzled, didn't they light the fire rope first, and then use the fire rope to light the fuse before they could shoot, I didn't see the two soldiers standing guard light the fire rope and shoot, what the hell is this?
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
After the two soldiers standing guard opened fire, they ran into the camp while shouting warnings and hurriedly closed the camp gate.
The whole barracks seemed to have blown up an ant nest, and countless soldiers came out of their tents, shouting and screaming, and the soldiers ran around and became a pot of porridge.
"Attack!"
The Donglin Party boss in charge of the command issued an order to attack, although the stealing camp failed, but the royal guard camp was obviously defenseless, looking at the chaos in the camp, you know, if you are lucky, the army can be solved with a charge.
"Kill!"
Thousands of private soldiers armed with knives, guns, clubs, and other weapons, let out an earth-shattering roar of killing, and slaughtered the barracks like a tide.
Bang bang......
The soldiers in the battalion hurriedly loaded ammunition, and then put their guns indiscriminately, but the targets were very dense, and they could shoot with their eyes closed, even if they shot indiscriminately, some people were still shot and fell, but the gunfire was sparse, and only about 20 people fell from the bullets, plus the morale was high, no one paid attention or was afraid.
As more and more soldiers reacted, the sound of gunfire gradually increased, and more than 100 private soldiers fell after being shot, but due to the rain a few days ago, some gunpowder could not be fired due to moisture.
After firing a few rounds of guns, the officers and men defending the barracks saw that the dense private soldiers had rushed closer, threw down their positions in a panic, and retreated in a panic, and the first line of defense was quickly lost.
The morale of the private soldiers was greatly shaken, and they launched a fierce attack on the second line of defense of the officers and troops, and after paying more than 300 losses, they captured the second line of defense, but when attacking the third line of defense, they were met with stubborn resistance from the officers and soldiers, and the damp, dirty and messy mud floor was covered with corpses of various deaths, and there were many wounded soldiers who screamed for help.
"Rush, rush me, the rebels can't hold it anymore."
The boss of the Donglin Party brandished his long sword, urging the private soldiers to continue the attack, breaking through the second line of defense of the independent battalion of the royal guard in one breath, so that he could see that the goddess of victory was beckoning to him, as long as he broke through this line of defense with one more blow, all the troubles would be solved.
The rebel is the name of the Donglin Party for the independent battalion of the royal guard, if it is an official army, the more than 10,000 private soldiers are afraid that they will be frightened and scattered, and it is possible to tie him up and receive a reward, so he can only fool that it is a rebel.
Not to mention, the reputation of the Donglin Party still makes ordinary people quite believe, a lot of flickering like a lot of skyrockets, destroying the rebels, and being promoted to the rank of knight, plus Gao Jie was once the leader of the thieves, not being treated well, and the possibility of rebelling again is extremely great, all the private soldiers really regard the independent battalion of the Royal Guards as a thief who rebelled, and there is naturally no psychological pressure to kill the thief.
"The shield hand pressed forward, the archers suppressed the cover, and the muskets and artillery were all bombarded by Lao Tzu, and the bastards on the opposite side were killed!"
This Donglin Party boss still knows a little bit about military affairs, at least in the command of arranging troops to attack or something, he can't find any major faults, but he is a little bit unlucky to provoke his soldiers. Having said that, it's not that he doesn't understand physical provocation, but he thinks it's unnecessary, do you understand the word cannon fodder? Don't understand? While playing in the mud goes.
After destroying the independent battalion of the Imperial Army and destroying all the evidence, he still has a headache How can he kill so much cannon fodder, only the dead will not talk nonsense, the best result is that both sides are dead, and there is no one left, so he doesn't have to bother to deal with it.
