Chapter 190: Encounter

The three-way army that encircled and suppressed Wang Zhi was not directly stationed under Taiyuan City, but stationed five miles outside the west gate of Taiyuan City, because they did not think that anyone would attack them, and there was not even a wooden fence when they set up camp.

In this way, the Ming troops belonging to different groups gathered in their respective areas, piece by piece, scattered but distinct.

Because there are many people, and they are ordered by the emperor to suppress thieves, they don't need to look at the faces of local civil officials when they gather here, and Shangguan lives in the city to enjoy happiness, and they don't come to the barracks easily, and the low-level officers and soldiers below are not willing to offend these life and death robes too much, so that the soldiers are uncontrolled, and the barracks that originally had some rules began to scatter, he lived a life of going out of the city to loot and entering the city to enjoy happiness, and gradually did not return to the barracks.

There are one and two, and the other soldiers saw that some people did this, and they also learned in a good way, and later this news reached the ears of the general soldiers who were enjoying the blessings in the city, and thought that a great war was imminent, and that the soldiers should not be punished for the sake of morale, and deliberately indulged, so the lower officers joined them, and the soldiers lost control completely, and the barracks gradually emptied, and sometimes not a single soldier could be seen in the whole barracks.

However, today, the barracks, which had been empty for a long time, were full of people, and Ming troops in tattered clothes and weapons were interspersed in the middle of the barracks, coming and going.

At this time, in the middle of the barracks, there was what appeared to be a makeshift luxury tent. All the general soldiers gathered together. In the middle of the tent knelt a silver-armored young general. He was very embarrassed at this time, not to mention that his helmet had been lost, the hairpin on his head had been scattered, and his cloak was scattered, like a defeated general who had just painted makeup.

In fact, he is the general of the defeated army, this person is named Cao Wenzhao, the number one general under Ma Shilong, and he is currently a guerrilla. Early this morning, Ma Shilong ordered him to lead 2,000 cavalry to snipe the enemy, who knew that as soon as he saw him, he was killed by the machine gun of the Wang family's army, and the rest of the people were also frightened and scattered in all directions.

"I gave you 2,000 iron horsemen to stop the thief army, and you were defeated and returned, losing more than half of your losses. Cao Wenzhao, you are guilty. "Ma Shilong really hates it. Guan Ning Iron Cavalry is the most elite class of troops under him, and this time he brought a total of 3,000 over, and he lost 1,000 at once, and his heart is dripping blood!

"If it weren't for this guy's greed, how could the cavalry have suffered such a big loss."

After setting the tone for this defeat, Ma Shilong was about to ask a few more questions, and he went through a process to condemn the crime of the defeated army on Cao Wenzhao, but he suddenly shouted: "My lord, it's not that the last general is incompetent, but the thief army is too strong, they have a strange fire gun that can fire continuously, I waited for two thousand cavalry, and only one of them took a look, and half of them were killed by the fire gun, and even the people and horses were torn apart by the gun, and there was no corpse." It's just a face, and the other party was all killed before he even got close a hundred steps, my lord, this battle can't be fought! ”

Hearing Cao Wenzhao say this, Ma Shilong's face darkened suddenly, and his generals were so afraid of war, ashamed, he shouted: "Quickly pull out this guy who confuses the army." ”

Hearing this, the left and right immediately pulled down Cao Wenzhao, who was still shouting.

"Master Ma, Cao's guerrilla bravery, even if it is us, we have heard of it, and now he is scared like this by the thief army, this thief army is indeed full of evil nature, should we beware of the kind of fire that Cao guerrilla said can fire continuously?"

Wang Guoliang proposed, he saw the appearance of Cao Wenzhao when he returned to the camp with the rest of the cavalry, there were no injuries on his body, but the person was like a walking corpse, completely without spirit, what kind of strong enemy could scare the dignified Guanning Iron Cavalry like this?

"Then what is the best plan for General Wang?"

The strength of Cao Wenzhao and Guan Ning Tieqi, he Ma Shilong is very familiar with it, even against Shang Jiannu will not have such a big loss, and he does not dare to take this thief army lightly now.

"In order to deal with the firearms of the thief army, I think we should outflank them in three ways and disperse the enemy's firepower." Although the Ming army used less firearms, it often used artillery rockets and the like, and also had a certain understanding of the performance of thermal weapons, knowing that dispersing troops could reduce losses.

"So who attacked from the front." One of the chief soldiers of the Ningxia guard asked.

The three-way outflanking of the frontal battlefield, with only the front and the left and right flanks, will definitely suffer the most attacks and the greatest losses.

"Since it is a proposal, then my Shanxi soldiers will be responsible for the frontal attack, but the frontal attack will be the strongest, I hope you can support some shield carts and box carts."

Wang Guoliang's abacus played very well, he learned the tactics of Jiannu, when attacking, the shield car was in front, and then covered with quilts and cowhides and other things, the bullets of the fire gun could not be pierced, and the soldiers behind could move forward safely.

But he didn't know that the bullets of the machine gun could even penetrate the steel plate, let alone a shield car.

The generals also saw Wang Guoliang's thoughts, and they also wanted to use the shield cart to protect their own people, so they excused themselves and said: "I am waiting for the king to travel far away, 100,000 are in a hurry, where will I bring the shield cart and other things." ”

Hearing this, Wang Guoliang was about to speak, and a probe suddenly rushed into the camp tent: "Report, the thief army is only five miles away from our army. ”

The thief army was already in front of them, and the generals were in no mood to continue arguing, feeling that it was right to go back to their respective camps and arrange troops to wait for the enemy army.

"My Liaodong army is attacking the left flank, and your Shaanxi army is attacking the right flank, is it okay?" Ma Shilong asked the general soldiers on the three sides of Shaanxi.

"Okay."

"Yes."

"What a question?"

The general soldiers of Shaanxi replied in a big way, as long as it is not just frontal, it makes no difference whether it is left or right.

After the area was demarcated, the general soldiers went back to reorganize their arms and fight

The distance of five miles is converted into kilometers and less than three kilometers, and the two sides can already see each other.

Standing on the top of the tractor, Wang Zhi took the telescope to watch the movement of the enemy barracks, they were arranging troops, it was nothing more than that set, the artillery was in front, the infantry was in the rear, the difference was only in this group of enemy lines stretched very long, it seemed to be outflanked from the left and right.

It's just that there are some shield carts next to the cannons of the group in the middle, and there are statues of tiger heads carved on them, which are scary to look at, but there is an egg, and someone is covering it with a quilt, probably trying to use this to block bullets.

"Naive."

Laughing in his heart, Wang Zhi also began to arrange troops according to the opponent's formation, this is a general battle of tens of thousands of people, different from the previous direct frontal encounters and small battles, you can't be careless, otherwise you will really be rushed in by the Ming army, with the psychological quality of these recruits, it is inevitable that it will be a big chaos.

Since the other side stretched the battle line so long, it was obvious that it was to outflank from the flanks, Wang Zhi also had to take precautions, and arranged the two battalions of the field troops brought out to the left and right sides, and the firepower of nine machine guns on one side was enough to beat them to call Dad, as for the front, it was withstood by the garrison troops, many of them had received firearms training, Wang Zhi drew out 20 machine gunners from them, and arranged 20 machine guns, Wang Zhi could not think of anything that could break through the dense firepower of 20 machine guns.

In the center of the formation, there are tractors, these fifty tractors are different from the previous tractors, it is specially modified, the glass has been replaced with bulletproof glass, and the steel of each part has been thickened, which can be used as a tank in this era, and the body is also heightened and thickened in order to protect the people inside.

In the body of the tractor sat two squads of twenty men, which they used to pursue the router.

Behind the tractor, there were auxiliaries led by a part of the spearmen, and the combat units in front were only responsible for fighting and chasing the routers, and it was their job to capture prisoners.

After this simple formation was laid out, Wang Zhi, who was standing on top of the tractor, put down his binoculars and took out a loudspeaker: "The whole army is attacking!" (To be continued.) )
