Chapter 602: Fireworks are easy to cold
"Say" Abatai turned around and walked into the tent, the big horn sat down, and the herald knelt on the ground: "There are small groups of men and horses at the east, west, and north gates of the Ming army!" ”
"How many people are there? How far is it? ”
"Two miles away from our army's camp, how many people and horses can't see clearly, those people and horses are caught in the monster roar and there is a dazzling light, it may be those ironclad monsters, we can't get close!"
Abatai and Turg glanced at each other, their eyebrows raised, a few days ago, the Ming army went out of the city to harass one by one, but never came to the main camp in the north, and the strange thing is that when he was about to counterattack yesterday, the Ming army did not move again, could it be that he came out again tonight, and ran to the main camp, which is this singing!
"Tonight is a little unusual, huh?" Turg saw Abatai's doubts: "Could it be that because of the Chinese New Year, the Ming army is worried that we will take the opportunity to deliberately come up with such a move?" ”
"It's not impossible!" Abatai nodded: "Pass the order, let each battalion transfer a team of soldiers and horses to take strict precautions, if the other party dares to attack and disturb me to fight back, I think I will be invincible with a few muskets, right, let them taste my 100,000 warriors' ironclad cavalry!" ”
"Report ......" At this time, another spy arrived: "The Ming army in the north has arrived on the other side of the Huan River and is confronting our battalion!" ”
Oh? Abatai stood up stiffly: "It seems that something big is indeed going to happen tonight, if the Ming army is just to contain us, it will not drive the army so close to it!" ”
"Counterattack?" Turg suddenly spoke: "Could it be that the Ming army is planning to counterattack?" ”
"It is very likely that someone will immediately order all the soldiers to prepare for battle, and the whole battalion will be on emergency alert!" Abatai shouted, and the herald immediately took the order!
"Lord Belle, what should I do? The Ming army's intentions are obvious now! Turg hurriedly asked, and at this moment, many generals who had received the news rushed over: "My lord" and "Lord Belle...... "I could see that they were a little worried.
"Don't panic" Abatai actually smiled, sat down, and waved his hand at everyone to signal them to sit down and calm down: "Although it is still uncertain the exact intentions of the Ming army. But it's not far away, if they just use such a little means, it will be in vain, I can contain the so-called 100,000 troops of the Ming army in the north of the Huanhe River, and it is not so easy for him to break through the defense line, and the Ming army in the city is only more than 20,000 people, relying on the city and dozens of ironclad monsters, especially if you stay in it and live until tomorrow, if you do it out of the city, then I will set foot in Jingzhou in advance! ”
"Lord Belle has a plan for his humble duties" At this time, the wounded Cobusau spoke: "The Ming army is now besieged by us on all sides, and the officers and soldiers inside naturally dare not go out of the city easily. It doesn't have any effect to come out, but what if we bluff now to attack the city, and take the opportunity to transfer the elite troops north to the Huanhe River to eat the Ming army over there? ”
Feasible! The generals in the tent echoed one after another, and Abatai bowed his head and was silent, as if he was pondering, as if he was struggling with something!
"What is Lord Belle worried about?" Or Turg is careful.
"Worried about the Ming army's deception, will it deliberately lead our army north to fight the Ming army, in fact, we have set up a set to wait for us, now is the time. The wind is high and the night is dark, the march is not easy, it is inconvenient to start a war, and it is easier to fall into the trap" It seems that Abatai is really crippled by Rwan. With a psychological shadow!
"What does Lord Belle mean?" Turg and the others also felt that what Abatai was worried about was not impossible!
"In response to all changes with the same, the whole battalion around Jingzhou was ordered to be on alert, and each battalion sent out an elite soldier to drive the other party's little minions back to the city. Drag it until dawn and attack the city directly," Abatai looked solemn
"What about the north side?" Someone asked
"If the enemy does not move, I will not move, presumably it will be dark and the wind will be high, and they will come from a long journey. They also don't take the initiative to attack! Abatay's face was filled with confidence
"If they do it first......"
"That means they're cheating!" Abatai snorted coldly: "Our army can only meet the battle and not pursue, now go and arrange it immediately, and drive those little minions outside Jingzhou City back to the city first!" ”
"It's already eleven fifty now, why haven't you come yet" Huang Degong stood on the city with a telescope and stared at the Qing army camp tightly, scolding in his mouth, according to the previous discussion, at eleven o'clock, he ordered the artillery to go out of the city, throw it out of the south gate, the east and west city gates each sent two artillery, three chariots, and the north gate of the main force of the Qing army turned out to be more than 20 gates, the reason why it was pulled out of the city was because the Qing army camp was far away five miles away and the range on the city was not enough, and the Qing army spies reported that there were dazzling lights, The roaring ironclad monster wasn't the chariot they'd seen before, twenty tractor heads dragging artillery!
The tactic devised by Huang Degong and his generals was to bombard the Qing army camp with artillery at midnight, and then the chariots opened the way, and the army entered the camp. Therefore, he concentrated the artillery mainly in the main camp of the Qing army, and as for the two Qing army camps in the east and west, two artillery pieces can be solved each, and Nancheng does not need to move at all, once the war starts, they will naturally run south, where is the first army of Texas waiting!
But there was a little accident in the matter, Huang Degong was impatient to pull the artillery out at eleven o'clock, in his opinion, it made no difference a little earlier and a little later, anyway, the Qing army would think that it was Ma Han and others' personal guards who went out to harass and ignored them.
Who knows, soon the observation post found that the Qing army camp had stopped singing, laughing and dancing, and began to dispatch troops, it seemed that they were going out of the camp to meet the battle, which made him a little panicked, the artillery just pulled out and then beat back, it was a joke, unless the war started in advance, once the Qing army came out of the camp, so many people and horses were killed directly, and it was easy for them to be beaten back to the city, and a good counterattack would become a guard war, different in nature, the results would be different, and the battle situation would be incomparable.
"Are the battalions ready?" Although Huang Degong is a veteran of the battlefield, he is still sweating in the face of such a big battle, and the soldiers around him immediately approached when they heard the words: "Uncle, the battalions are already in place, Qi Yilong's nearly 10,000 horses are in charge of the Qing army in the east and west, General Ma led 5,000 brothers to assist him, and the rest are under the city led by General Weng and are waiting for the signal!" ”
"What else? The tank company is ready? Huang Degong shook off the sweat in his palms, and at this moment a white light flashed, and Lu Wang stood beside him: "Hey, it's going to war?" It doesn't seem to be there yet! ”
"Hold the grass, you are here", Huang Degong threw the binoculars: "The Qing army found an abnormality and was ready to leave the camp, if we don't open fire, we can only withdraw and let them block and fight!" So it's going to be early."
"Then what do you have to say. Open up the artillery bombardment", Lu Wang said and picked up the binoculars and looked at the Qing army camp, only to see that there were already people and horses leaving the camp and heading in the direction of the artillery!
"Turn on all the searchlights," Lu Wang said, waving to the people next to the tower: "It's New Year's Eve, set off fireworks!" ”
The hour hand points to 11:58! When there were still two minutes before 1642, a hundred flowers suddenly bloomed in the city of Jingzhou, and the sound of firecrackers greeted the old and the new, and the people in the city immediately cheered. Growing so big, seeing such beautiful fireworks for the first time in my life, it is simply so beautiful, so beautiful that it is dazzling, and of course it will kill people!
Just when the fireworks suddenly went off, the Qing army outside the city was also surprised, and suddenly the sound of distance exploded, especially the main camp of the north gate, which exploded at a distance of dozens of sounds. Make the camp a sea of fire!
At the same time, the Qing army camps at the east and west gates of Jingzhou City were also suffering from the same situation, and the Eighth General Army, who had been paying attention to the direction of Jingzhou on the bank of the Huanhe River, more than 20 miles away. I vaguely saw the fireworks in the city, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "Uncle Huang, do you want to do it?" ”
"Hold your breath and wait for orders," Rwan said, holding the walkie-talkie. With a smile on his face, he stared at the sea of fire in the Qing army camp in the distance, and listened to the explosion that burst his eardrums. At the herald standing at the entrance of the city ladder, he shouted: "Send troops!" ”
At the sound of the order, the officers and soldiers who had been ambushed in the city immediately rushed out, followed by the chariot company, and slaughtered towards the Qing army camp! The same is true of the other two gates, the only difference being that there are fewer people and only three chariots!
"In this battle, Abatai's bones are going to be broken!" Lu Wang threw the walkie-talkie to Huang Degong: "Keep in touch with me at any time, and once the Qing army breaks and flees, notify the Eighth General Army to do it immediately!" ”
"Where are you going?" Huang Degong took the walkie-talkie and was stunned,
"Help!" Lu Wang smiled, beckoned to more than a dozen pro-guards who had rushed to the city, and then a helicopter appeared in front of him, and the express got in, and in less than two minutes, the helicopter flew into the sky with a loud bang, and went straight to the direction of the Qing army camp in the north.
A few minutes later, the fireworks dispersed, and the people calling inside the city finally realized that something was wrong, and the continuous explosions outside the city made them instantly return to reality, and at the same time, they were a little frightened!
"Don't panic, it's not the Tartars attacking the city, it's the Hou Ye counterattacking the Tartars, it's the counterattack ......" At this time, the government had already begun to come forward to comfort the people.
Yes, the Jingzhou counterattack began in full swing, Luwang, who had been besieged for more than ten days, finally began to counterattack at midnight on the Chinese New Year's Eve, at the beginning of the battle, Jingzhou was surrounded by shelling except for Nancheng, all Qing army camps were shelled, the power of gas artillery does not need to be repeated, and the night attack is easy to magnify the fear, at this time you don't know that the opponent has few people, especially when the opponent's artillery strikes are nine deaths, there is only one thought in your mind that is to run.
The camps of the Qing army in the east and west of Jingzhou were the first to be opened, although only each camp Luwan was only equipped with two artillery pieces and three chariots, but the Qing army, which had been frightened, had no time to resist at all, and subconsciously began to flee in the direction of the camp, Qi Yilong and his subordinates let go of their legs and heels and chased after several chariots.
The Qing army camp is even more miserable, you must know that there are more than 20 artillery pieces here are constantly bombarding, although the battalion stretches for more than ten miles, although the range of the artillery is only three miles, but this kind of concentrated bombardment destructive and deterrent power is unbearable for people in this era!
"Artillery to the west, to the west! The dynasty will take you to the west to open the way for the artillery, Weng Zhiqi, Weng Zhiqi, rush the camp from the east, the camp over there has been broken up by artillery, rush in, rush in......" Huang Degong stood at the head of the city and shouted vigorously with a telescope, in fact, he was just passing the word, passing the word for Lu Wang, because at this moment Lu Wang's helicopter was hovering over the Qing army camp, the whole battle situation was clear at a glance, where the Qing army's defense was bombarded by artillery fire, he immediately transferred troops to rush, where the camp has not suffered artillery, he mobilized artillery to deter if he resisted! Of course, the seven guards on his helicopter were also throwing gunpowder packets down non-stop!
Huang Degong felt that his voice was going to be hoarse, and he could only vaguely see the figure a few miles away through the night vision binoculars.
The soldier next to the "uncle" handed him a bottle of mineral water: "Why does Hou Ye have to wait for the defeat of the Qing army camp before giving the order to start a war in the north, and at the same time it is not better?" ”
"You know a p Huang Degong rolled his eyes, my brother is to reduce casualties, we are fighting here, the Eighth General Soldiers know, but those Qing Dogs opposite them don't know, if the war starts those Qing Dogs will definitely defend the defensive line, the Eighth General Soldiers will not be able to fight at all, but when the news of the Qing Army's rout and escape from the war here spreads, do you think those Qing Dogs still have the heart to fight to the death, and they will flee if they deal with it, and the Eighth General Soldiers will have no pressure, and they will easily fight with an army of 150,000!"
"I see"! The pro-soldier nodded with admiration on his face.
