Chapter 663: Attack of the Evil Spirits (10)
"It's all the credit of Dingguo, ambush the Fifth Division in Songluo Mountain, and destroy it in a battle, you two take your troops to Songluo Mountain to lurk, there are grain, grass and water sources in the mountains, give me to defend Songluo Mountain, and Dingguo and I are waiting for an opportunity to raid the Fusang Army on the periphery."
The two straightened their chests, guaranteed to complete the task, and immediately led the troops to Songluo Mountain, and Ling Jingyang and Li Dingguo also led the troops to withdraw.
A day had passed since the annihilation of the Fifth Division, and the Sixth and Seventh Divisions had arrived at Songluo Mountain, which had long been cleaned up.
More than 30,000 corpses of the Fifth Division were stripped naked and thrown on the ground, as terrifying as they were, and the Fifth Division was beaten to this death.
Every Fusang soldier was thinking that the 7,000 Fifth Division, which was equipped with rifles and breech artillery weapons, had only been annihilated by the Ming army in just a few days after it entered the Huizhou Mansion, and more than 70,000 people of the Sixth and Seventh Divisions were so frightened that they did not dare to take a step forward.
But what the Fusang army decided to do, at least it had to work very hard, and after the two division commanders discussed, it was better to occupy Songluo Mountain and wait for the arrival of the large army.
In this way, the emperor would not impose the responsibility for the total annihilation of the 5th Division on the 6th and 7th Divisions.
The two men did what they said, and ordered an infantry wing to bury the body, while the other troops camped at the foot of the mountain and waited until dawn to launch an attack on Songluo Mountain.
The Fusang army sweated like rain under the mountain, Zhao Tu and Xu Sheng's two soldiers and horses rested in Songluo Mountain, there were grain, grass, water, herbs and other materials, the physical strength of the whole army quickly recovered, Ling Jingyang understood that the strength of the two armies was insufficient, and specially transferred 500 people from the rifle battalion to strengthen the defense of Songluo Mountain.
The Fusang army and the Ming army confronted each other at Songluo Mountain, at the foot of Baishan Mountain, seven kilometers south of Songluo Mountain, where tens of thousands of Ming troops set up here.
Li Dingguo and Ling Jingyang were communicating in a whisper, since the last time the two separated, the situation in the world has changed so much, Li Dingguo listened to the military information sent by the scouts, and there were more than 70,000 Fusang troops besieging Songluo Mountain.
He was not afraid of the large number of Fusang soldiers, but was more eager to fight.
"Dudu, let's defeat two more Fusang divisions, and we can achieve a record of destroying 100,000 enemies, which is a record that many warriors have dreamed of."
When Ling Jingyang heard this, he was full of pride.

"I also thought that the Fusang people were crazy and tough, but the Fusang people who didn't have rifles, grenades, bullets and other weapons were just a rabble."
In his opinion, there are hundreds of thousands of Fusang troops in the land of China, but the combat effectiveness is uneven, most of the divisions and regiments are very similar to the Ming army, only some elites such as the retainers led by the main general, and most of the light infantry can not compare with the Ming army.
As long as the 6th and 7th divisions are defeated, they will be able to gain a psychological advantage over the Fusang army, and eat 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Fusang army in one go, which can greatly strengthen the determination of the Chinese people to resist the invasion of the Fusang army.
Ling Jingyang despised the Fusang army, but the Ming army also had shortcomings, the consumption of weapons and ammunition captured before was very serious, and the fifth division was annihilated in this battle, and a lot of weapons and ammunition were captured.
There were more than 4,000 rifles, but there were very few bullets.
The Fifth Division carried two packs of ammunition for each battle, one rifle with two packs of ammunition, that is, 60 bullets, and when the whole army arrived at the Huizhou Prefecture, it carried 700,000 rounds of ammunition, and when two-thirds of the ammunition was consumed, it had to report to the emperor and request the issuance of bullets.
Most of the other Fuso armies used old weapons, but the infantry squadron of the division commander could still be equipped with rifles and grenade shells, which also made bullets a strategic material.
Almost every division took bullets very seriously, and the arsenal of the Fuso Army was in Lin'an City, and the ammunition of the whole army was issued by the Guards Division to the units that used rifles.
Koizumi consciously controlled weapons and ammunition to prevent them from being captured by the Ming army, and this tactic of the Fuso army made the Ming army capture fewer and fewer bullets.
The Ming army annihilated the Fifth Division and only captured more than 200,000 rounds of ammunition, making the Ming army have more guns than bullets.
Although there were not many bullets, Ling Jingyang was very relieved that the Fusang army did not have many bullets, and after fighting a few more battles, the Fusang army consumed weapons and ammunition, bringing this battle back to the seventeenth century that belonged to him.
The two paid close attention to the Battle of Songluo Mountain, and the scouts were constantly wandering, which also prevented the Fusang Army scouts from discovering the traces of the Ming army, and the Ming army climbed Baishan at night to achieve the silence of the whole army.
That night, the 6th Division surrounded Songluo Mountain from the north and west sides, and the 7th Division surrounded Songluo Mountain from the south and east sides.
After dawn, two

The army each mobilized a wing to launch a tentative attack on Songluo Mountain, and Zhao Tu and Xu Sheng led the army to resist, but were stopped by a rifle battalion Qianzong.
Mr. Qian and the two said: "General Zhao, General Xu, and Governor Lingdu let us stand up first, we can't stand it, you go again." ”
Ling Jingyang fully considered that Zhao Tu and Xu Sheng's two soldiers and horses would definitely not be enough to rest for one night, so he ordered the soldiers of the rifle battalion to defend and repel the attack of the Fusang army, and it could also give the Fusang army the illusion that the elite troops of the Ming army were in Songluo Mountain.
The Fusang soldiers who attacked Songluo Mountain were far less arrogant than when they attacked Zhejiang.
When they saw the flag of the Ming army, flying high on the top of the mountain, they immediately attracted the Fusang army.
Both infantry wings wanted to take the lead in capturing the hill and capture the Ming flag, and there were still more than 200 meters from the top of the mountain, and 500 Ming riflemen pulled the trigger and poured bullets on the enemy.
A series of gunshots killed many Fusang soldiers, frightened other Fusang soldiers to roll down the mountain, losing at least more than 100 people.
No wonder the Fifth Division was annihilated, not because the Fifth Division was careless, nor because the Sixth and Seventh Divisions did not reinforce in time, but because the Ming Army was also equipped with rifles.
The Fuso generals also heard that the guns of the Ming army were not intense, and the Ming army should not have many rifles, so it was a great achievement to eliminate the Ming army in the mountains and capture the Ming army's rifles, and the emperor must be very happy when he knew about it.
On the morning of the same day, the two divisions quickly organized six infantry wings to launch an attack on Songluo Mountain.
A large number of Fusang infantry stormed Songluo Mountain, the riflemen were a little not enough, they fired desperately, but still could not stop the Fuso army from approaching step by step, many soldiers were unfortunately hit by a small number of Fusang soldiers equipped with rifles when they fired, and the casualties of the rifle battalion began to increase.
The number of rifle battalions on Songluo Mountain was too small, and they gradually couldn't resist the charge of the Fusang army, Zhao Tu and Xu Sheng finally shot, and there were more than 8,000 soldiers under their command, and in a drum beat, the Ming army soldiers came out of the hidden cave and the mound, and gave the Fusang army a head-on blow.
A large number of stones, arrows, and guns flew into the Fusang army, and the Fusang army that was attacking was instantly beaten, thinking that there were not many Ming troops in the mountains, and how did they know that there were so many Ming troops, and they were beaten to the ground.
