Chapter 527: Ambush on Ten Sides
The camp is surrounded by many people. It was as if thousands of troops were coming from all directions. The shouting and thugs were incessant, and the camp was in chaos, and Ban Bushan had already gathered a group of generals and shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy, everyone get on the horse."
The heralds spread Bambushan's orders around. The Qing soldiers who had been driven to the camp tent hurriedly came out. Go to the stables to look for horses, after a nervous gathering. Thousands of Qing soldiers hurriedly clenched their sabers, mounted their horses, and rows of Qing soldiers were placed behind the cabinets, ready to go.
"It happened to be Bambushan thinking to himself. He was not afraid of the Han attack, he believed. If the Han Chinese fight their subordinates face to face. He has a better chance of winning, although this is not a good place for horse fighting.
The Qing soldiers on horseback took out their bows and arrows and began to build their bows, but to their confusion, although there were still many people in the surrounding forests. The shouts of killing are still ringing, but why don't you see a single Han person coming out?
"My lord, there seems to be something wrong Niu Lu, who was guarding the camp gate, hurried to Baan Bushan's side and said cautiously, his men and horses were deployed near the forest, so he knew more about the situation in the forest, and he could even see many figures in the forest shaking. It's just that these figures are not rushing forward to kill, but running back and forth left and right, Niu Lu can be sure that those Han people have absolutely no intention of attacking.
Ban Bushan also seems to feel that something is wrong, these Han people are thundering and not raining, but he can't cancel his vigilance, the so-called reality is false. Fiction is true, what if once the warriors are allowed to return to the camp to continue to rest, what if the Ming army suddenly rushes over? According to his current estimates, the number of these Han people was no less than that of his vanguard battalion, and in this forest, the advantage of the cavalry was greatly reduced, and he even believed that if the Ming army attacked the camp in one fell swoop, it was not impossible to fall the entire camp, he shook his head: "Let some of the people go back to rest first, and leave half of them to guard." ”
The Niu Lu nodded, it seems that it can only be like this, Ban Bushan's order, some of the Qing soldiers began to return to the camp one after another to rest, but there was a commotion around here, as if the Han people were about to fall from the sky at any time, and the shouts of killing were endless. In this environment, I am afraid that no one can sleep. Especially in the second half of the night, the Han people got gongs and drums from nowhere, and the sound of beating was earth-shattering, which made many Qing soldiers restless.
Ban Bushan can only endure it, the Qing army is not good at night fighting, and there are many people who suffer from night blindness.
After dawn, the Han people around the forest seemed to be gone, and the Qing soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as they wanted to have a good dream, many people did not sleep for a day and a night, they were already exhausted, and what they did not know was that it was not only the Han Chinese who besieged them last night, but the Indian soldiers accounted for the majority. After a few whistles, they went deeper into the mountains, and then another group of soldiers from the mountain battalion came to their original position, and this time they brought with them a complete range of men, all kinds of snorts, gongs and drums, and tin trumpets, and then there was a cheerful beating of gongs and drums and shouts of killing.
Ban Bushan can't stand it anymore, these insidious Han people are really despicable and shameless, so they can use three indiscriminate tricks, he even wants to take people out of the camp after dawn to rush and kill for a while, but now the entire pioneer battalion is exhausted, let them rush to kill, I'm afraid it's really reluctant.
It was noisy until noon, and many Qing soldiers squinted slightly, Ban Bushan ordered to pull out the camp and set off, this ghost forest is really unbearable, Baan Bushan expects to get out of this forest quickly before the evening, as for the army behind him, he can't take care of so much, each has a destiny, and then toss, there is no need for the Han people to impact the camp, and they will collapse first.
More than 5,000 sleepy-eyed Qing soldiers went on the road like this, but there was no rest all night, the degree of this march was naturally extremely slow, and the group fell behind in groups of three or five, and these degrees were slower, and the chances of surviving were probably very few, and later, the offensive of the Han people began to become more and more bold, and even the large forces of the Qing army dared to attack and disturb, sometimes a group of mountain battalion soldiers shot crossbow arrows from both sides of the jungle, and then a group of Qing troops were shot down. The grass was dense and green, and by the time the Qing soldiers went over to search, the other party had completely disappeared.
Entering the mountains and forests, it is equivalent to entering the territory of the mountain camp, the continuous mountains and lush jungles are the natural comrades-in-arms of the mountain camp, the Qing army may have been poisoned by people when taking water, when there is a Qing army on the side of the road, maybe a pound will suddenly emerge in the jungle, people come, the edge of the dagger is in the ten empty and a half arc, that is, blood is splashed. A pound appeared in front of them, and when the net of the first Qing soldiers had just turned, they were greeted by a row of Ming soldiers with crossbow arrows and motive brackets, these ape-like warriors rolled or crawled in the forest, or hung hooks and locks between the trees and kept moving, and they set traps on the way. Even lurking in the river with a straw, as long as the opportunity is abandoned, it will explode infinite killing opportunities.
On the other hand, this group of Qing soldiers, before they set off, they may still show off their might, or they may still be full of ambition, but at this moment, they have become a target without the power to parry, they don't know what the next move of the Han people is, they don't know where those damn Han people will appear, they don't know how many traps are set up in front, and they don't know how many people in the rear are following them.
As a result, the Bambu Shanjige thug, who had planned to leave the Qimei Mountains before evening, was disappointed. Because of a few pounds. Just after the detour. The original system predicted, but I didn't go half the way. And at this moment, the days are gone. Continuing to rush will only allow the Han people to take advantage of it, after all, the Qing army has little experience in night battles, and marching at night in this forest is simply sending yourself to death.
Ban Bushan could only order to continue camping, but in a mountain in the distance, a temporary tent was hidden in the forest, the facilities in the tent were simple, the candlelight was flickering, and the people's faces were dim, and the guerrilla generals of the three mountain battalions muttered softly around a simple map of Qimei Mountain, the three of them were old friends, and they were all new recruits when they were training the mountain camp in Haidu Li Xiao, but now they have become the camp owner of one side, leading the rank of general.
"Lao Wang, in my opinion, it's time to close the net tonight, if it is delayed any longer, how to carry out the next step of the deployment of the main force of the godson? We've been messing around with this little bit for a few days, and the soldiers are very tired. It's better to catch them all, so that you can free up your hands and deal with the main force of the rear team. "The man who spoke was a dark-skinned man with a short stature, he was a guerrilla general in the mountain battalion of the Indian Colonial Legion, and the heat in South India was unbearable, and he, the officer who had been transferred to the city to train in the mountain battalion, was now also sunburned
。
The guerrilla surnamed Wang stared at the figure motionlessly. Holding his chin and muttering, according to the knowledge that Li Xiao taught them back then, it must take three days to attack and harass a small group of enemy troops in the mountains, three days is enough to consume all their energy and morale, and then it is best to end them in one go, but now the situation is a little complicated, after all, this Qimei Mountain is not comparable to the mountains in the southwest, and it takes a day or two to get out, and now the time for the attack is not half of three days. Now close the net, the most afraid is that those Qing soldiers and dogs jump off the wall in a hurry, once this is the case, the loss of the mountain battalion will be great, after all, the mountain battalion is good at raiding, and the emphasis is on the enemy's light and my secret, once it surfaces, it is not the strength of the mountain battalion He looked at another guerrilla with his eyes: "Brother Zhang, what do you think?" ”
The guerrilla surnamed Zhang already had an idea: "In a word, you must not let Yuezi go out of the mountain, and you will close the Internet tonight." ”
The guerrilla surnamed Wang hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Since that's the case, then it's tonight." ",One by one,""
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the full moon is hanging high in the sky, and a dim light is sprinkled on the ground, but in this mountain forest, the bushes are overgrown, blocking the little silver light, and there are more people in the camp of the Qing army. Countless Qing soldiers wearing uniforms patrolled back and forth. Last night, these people were already tossed and scared, and many people were even nervous, for fear that the Han people would come again tonight. Therefore, even though many Qing soldiers had not slept for a day or a night, Baan Bushan still forced half of them to rest in their accounts, and the rest to prepare for the garrison. Such an order naturally caused a lot of scolding, but the Eight Banners military system was strict, and it stands to reason that Ban Bushan is equivalent to the master of these people or the master of the master, so no one dares to express his grievances, at most he just scolds in his heart.
The Qing soldiers of the garrison lazily found everything to rely on to rest half-lying, and many people even thought that they were lucky to think that those Han people had made a fuss all night yesterday. Presumably I'm tired now, I'm afraid I won't come tonight, with luck in my heart, my eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and many people are resting outside the tent half asleep and half awake.
Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting from the woods around the camp.
"Hooray," a myriad of voices rippled in a row.
Here again, many Qing soldiers were awakened, hurriedly looking around, the Qing soldiers resting in the tent were also woken up, but most of them did not come out of the tent, but the good master also experienced the attack of the Han people last night, these Han people only thunder and do not rain, in addition to this despicable means. Do you dare to fight head-on with the real sword and real gun? Damn, these Han dogs, when the master is full of sleep and walks out of this mountain, he always wants you to look good.
Sure enough, the shouting and killing around called Lao Zhongtian, and no one called the police, obviously the Han people were bluffing again, taking advantage of this effort. The Qing soldiers in the tent fell asleep again, and the Qing soldiers outside the tent resumed their lazy appearance after a short period of haste, they were so tired, since they entered this hellish mountain, they had not slept well, and they were barely cheered up by the noisy Han people, but now they knew that the Han people were bluffing again, and they couldn't help but relax again.
"Kill the godson," Lin Mang shouted again.
"Hooray," a myriad of voices rose and fell in the night.
It's this thing again, many Qing soldiers even laughed in a low voice, can't these Han people play something new?
The only frown was the tired Baan Bushan, who felt that there seemed to be something unusual tonight, and it was these warriors under him who worried him the most, and it was obvious that they did not seem to be afraid, although he summoned the generals to reprimand them several times, and asked them to patrol the camp. Let the warriors cheer up a little, but the morale is not as good as before, and many people are exhausted by the toss, even if it is those bulls who use whips to whip up the Qing soldiers who patrol the night. But as soon as the front foot walked, the man fell crookedly and half-fallen.
The shouts of "kill" still did not stop. Suddenly, one shadow after another appeared in Lin Mangzhong, and behind them, more people rushed out of the darkness."
"Shoot." There is one in the dark
The sneering sound was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, so that the Qing soldiers at the gate of the camp felt something, and when they noticed it, a puff of crossbow arrows had been shot out, and many people responded to the call, and the surviving Qing soldiers were obviously confused by these sudden crossbow arrows, and they were stunned for a few seconds before they raised their voices: "The Han dog is coming, meet the enemy,"
"Meet the enemy,"
"Woo woo woo woo," the Qing soldier on the watchtower was awakened, wiped the saliva that had remained on his lips when he was asleep, and immediately picked up the horn.
The Qing soldiers didn't believe it at first, when they heard the sound of the horn, they hurriedly came out with their weapons, many people didn't have time to get on their horses at all, they could only run to the fence, and at this moment, the Ming troops who came out of the forest from all directions carried crossbow arrows and shot at the camp, and the camp in the mountains was very simple. Only a rudimentary fence was built, more than a meter high, and it could not resist the crossbow arrows at all, the camp was in a mess, and no resistance could be organized for the time being, only some Niu Lu were looking for their own troops in vain, and many Qing soldiers lost their command and could only follow the flow of people. Like a headless snake, some people picked up bows and arrows to shoot back, but the aim and lethality of bows and arrows were too far behind those of crossbow arrows.
In the forest, hundreds of Ming soldiers are filling the inside of a sacred fire crow made of thin bamboo or reeds, which is connected to the bottom of the crow's two "fire-starting" cartridges on each side of the crow's object and the gunpowder line inside the crow's body. During the battle, the thrust of "fire" was used to shoot the crow to more than 100 feet, and the gunpowder contained inside the crow was ignited and exploded when it landed. When it explodes, the crows resemble rockets.
This kind of weapon originally appeared as early as the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and now after improvement, it is more powerful, because it is easy to carry, and can attack dead corners, it is the most important gunpowder weapon in the mountain camp.
"Ignite the lead," with the officer's order, a hundred Divine Fire Crows were ignited, the soldiers held the Crows and slowly let go, the Crows with the help of the gunpowder thrust behind the buttocks like a bird spread their wings and flew towards the Qing army camp, the distance was already calculated by the Ming soldiers, just over the Qing Army camp, the thrust gunpowder behind the buttocks just burned out, and the Shenhuo Crow that lost its thrust circled in the sky with the help of its wings, and after it landed, it was a burst of explosions.
The Qing army camp began to catch fire, and the Qing soldiers were frightened, and they rushed out of the camp like headless flies, which was in the arms of the Ming army.
And the Qing soldiers also began to fight back, but their bows and arrows are really not suitable for shooting in the woods, and the accuracy is difficult to master.
"Kill." With a loud roar, the Ming army launched a general attack, and the Ming troops from all directions poured out from all directions, slaughtering the chaotic Qing soldiers.
The fate of this group of Qing soldiers is really very bearish. At first, he was disturbed by the harassment of the Ming army. I haven't slept for a day and a night, and now I have given the Ming army a surprise attack, plus I don't know how many Ming troops there are in the night, and I saw the camp splashed by the fire of the divine fire crow, which was even more chaotic."
,,,,,”
Li Laiheng stood on the school field, watching the Diedong Regiment stand straight in the shouts of the instructors of the new military camp, these 30,000 soldiers selected from the 13th Army of Aidong were already sweating at this time, this cruel team training was fine at the beginning, but the longer they stood up, the more uncomfortable it became, but these instructors urgently dispatched from Nanjing had no mercy, and used various methods to torture these recruits, Li Laiheng went to the barracks after inspecting it.
The Pengdong Army had just been formed, and the governor was naturally Li Laiheng, and most of the soldiers were carefully selected from the original Diedong Thirteen Army, because of the urgency of the war, the emperor did not send them to Nanjing for recruit training, so all the instructors of the new military camp in Nanjing were transferred. Taihe is located in the northwest of Anhui Province, in the hinterland of the Huanghuai Plain. It is an important passage from the northwest to Anhui, in Zhu Jun's heart, the Aidong Legion has just been built, and there is a combat effectiveness, so let the Biandong Legion garrison Taihe, the main reason is to guard against the northwest, although Wang Fuchen in the northwest expressed his surrender, but Zhu Jun is still a little uneasy, stationed in a legion here, although the strength is not good, most of them are still a rabble before this, but resist for a few days, warn Fengyang, so that Fengyang is ready again There is no problem.
According to the rules, the governor has no right to interfere with the legion in a state of training under special circumstances, so Li Laiheng is idle. Every day, I just go to see the training of new soldiers, and the rest of the time is mainly to dispatch scouts to patrol in the northwest direction to observe the movements in the northwest.
