Chapter 219: Night Attack 2
It is better to take advantage of the fact that the Zhenla soldiers have not yet noticed, and directly raid the Zhenla camp to buy respite for the defenders of Nongnai City.
"Yes, a good plan." Chen Shangchuan also nodded, expressing his support for Lin Xu's night attack.
A Ming general immediately asked: "The strategy is good, but why do you think that the Zhenla people will be so obedient, in case the soldiers and horses in his camp are dispatched, with more than 1,000 people under Li Shi's command, how can they resist?"
"That's why we are needed." Wang Shi smiled and looked at the flag officer kneeling on the ground.
"In today's battle, the cattle of the Fan people were scattered and fled by our artillery fire, and their Lu bus happened to be paralyzed under the city wall, our army can go directly out of the city and burn the Lu bus directly, and then the Zhenla Fan people who learned the news will definitely come out of the camp to rescue, and at that time, the reinforcements outside the city will take the opportunity to kill in the camp of the Fan people." Wang Shi said to several generals.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we don't attack and destroy the Lu bus at night today, then tomorrow the Zhenla Fan people will bring mules, horses and even soldiers to push themselves, just go to the city dozens of steps, you can climb the city wall with the ladder of the Lu bus, and then the city will be broken." Wang Shidao.
Lin Xu's plan was eventually approved by the Ming generals, and Chen Shangchuan finally decided to attack the camp at night.
The full moon hangs high,
Lin Xu was lying on a mound of earth, and by the white moonlight, he could vaguely see that two teams of soldiers in rattan armor were changing guards.
From time to time, there was the neighing of war horses and the clattering of soldiers.
A convoy of horses galloped past the side of the battalion, followed by two columns of infantry, though perhaps because of the night march, the cavalry and infantry did not have much distance between them.
Since the last time it was attacked by Nongnai's Ming army.
The Zhenla generals, who felt that they had no face, set up defenses layer by layer, focusing on guarding against the night attacks of the Ming people.
Especially during the siege battle this morning, after the Lu bus fled because the cattle it was pulling were scattered, and collapsed under the city wall, Ruan Youjing, who had a premonition that the Ming people would attack at night and destroy the Lu bus car, immediately ordered the whole army to be on guard, just waiting for Nongnai's Ming army to leave the city.
Ruan Youjing, who was still handling official documents in the camp tent late at night, suddenly heard bursts of shouts and killings from outside the camp, and couldn't help but show joy on his face.
"Report." A small soldier hurriedly ran into the camp tent.
"The Ming army in the city suddenly opened the city gate and killed it." The soldier reported.
"Haha, as I expected, the Ming people in the city really couldn't hold their breath." Ruan Youjing laughed, as if everything was under his control.
"Order the left battalion, the right battalion, and the front battalion to all attack, and it is bound to rob and kill the Ming people under the city wall." Ruan Youjing naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, and hurriedly ordered.
"Bang bang." The Quang Nam gunners on the Lu bus fired desperately.
A falcon cannon sparked in the night, and lead bullets were shot out and smashed straight into the mud in the distance.
The sound of shouting and killing in the distance shook the sky, and Wang Shi and other generals personally led thousands of officers and soldiers and village soldiers to attack at night, which can be said to be pouring out, leaving only 200 soldiers guarding the city wall.
There were only more than 200 Guangnan soldiers guarding the Lu Gongche, which was naturally unable to stop the offensive of thousands of Ming troops.
A jar of fire oil was thrown by the Ming officers and soldiers onto the Lu bus.
Although the Lu bus is tall and sturdy, it is still wooden after all, and it must be afraid of fire.
"Put!" Rockets burst through the air and shot at the chariot.
The huge Lu bus is simply the best target.
Soon, the oil was ignited.
The Guangnan soldiers on the upper floors desperately handed water down to extinguish the fire.
But obviously, in the face of a swift fire, this insignificant storage of water will not help.
But before the Ming army could continue to project rockets, there were bursts of shouts and killings in the Zhenla camp.
I saw the fire in the camp of the Fanren people, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.
"It's not good, Fanren expected us to attack at night." A Ming army general's face sank and he said unhappily.
"It's okay, listening to the shouts and killings, the troops of the left and right battalions of the front camp have been led out by us." Wang Shi laughed.
"Your Excellency is really like a god." Seeing the Ming army pouring out, he said approvingly.
"There are 800 pioneers in the front battalion, and 500 troops in the left and right battalions, and the two armies together are enough to deal with the Ming army, and the horse team will definitely be able to break the Ming army." Several Fanren generals also laughed, as if they had decided to eat Mingren.
On the hill more than two miles away, Lin Xu was coldly looking at the faint firelight in the distance.
"My lord, the troops of the left and right battalions have all been killed, and they are fighting with General Chen's army." Li Shi on the side said anxiously.
"No hurry, wait." Lin Xu was unhurried, like an old monk in a fixed place.
I can't help but be so anxious that Li Shi is so anxious, the Ming army guarding Nongnai City has been killed, if at this time, the Ming army does not attack the Zhenla camp at night and stab the knife in the back, then the Ming army of Nongnai is very likely to overthrow the city.
"It seems that the people are still very vigilant, and the army of the middle battalion has not been mobilized." Lin Xu frowned.
The middle battalion of the Fanren also had about 800 troops, and it had not been mobilized.
The rear camp is the place where the heavy grain and grass of the Fan people are stored, and there are only more than 200 soldiers guarding it.
Not only Li Shi was anxious, but Lin Xu was also anxious.
This time, the troops in his hands were only 1,000, and the soldiers left behind in the camp were about a thousand people, but fortunately, this time he also brought out six Francophone cannons and two Lei Fei cannons.
Seeing that the soldiers in the camp were no longer mobilized, Lin Xu immediately ordered an attack.
Ruan Youjing personally rode a big horse and led the horse team to supervise the battle in the camp.
Previously, he handed over more than half of his cavalry to Li Youcheng.
As a result, they all died under the artillery of the Ming people.
Now, he still has more than fifty horsemen in his hands, which is also the only mobile force he can rely on in his hands.
What surprised him was that the Ming army fought with the soldiers after they came out of the city wall.
Seeing that after the arrival of Zhenla's reinforcements, instead of retreating, they became more and more courageous.
Even the Nalu bus didn't care about destroying it, and it fought with the army vigorously, which was similar to the appearance of defending the city and avoiding the battle before.
Suddenly, there was a burst of artillery from the rear.
Immediately after, there was an earth-shattering shouting of killing.
"Not good." Ruan Youjing's cold hair stood up, and he finally understood why the Ming army, who had been guarding the city and avoiding the battle, had the courage to kill it.
"Damn, when will the Akito's reinforcements arrive." Looking at the rear camp of the flaming army, the hidden man was furious.
I had been worried that the Qianhai camp of the Ming people would attack the flank of the army, so he sent Mo Xin to lead the army to exterminate it, who would have thought that the Ming people were so stubborn that they would let the Zhenla army lose their troops and lose their generals, and even Ruan Youjing's Quang Nam cavalry was put in.
In desperation, he had no choice but to give up the siege of Qianhai camp.
And now the Ming army that has been killed is obviously more than one or two hundred people.
"The Ming people set up a lot of camps in Dongpu, and it must have been the camps scattered by the Ming people scattered all over the country to kill them." At this time, Mosin commanded the middle camp army, and when he saw the fire in the rear camp, he spoke.
"My lord, the back camp is where our army stores heavy grain and grass, if the Ming people burn our army's heavy grain and grass?"
"I know, you immediately lead the middle battalion to help the rear battalion." Before Mosin could finish speaking, he immediately ordered him to lead the army of the middle battalion to help.
