Chapter 528: Wind and Snow Night Attack
"Xu gave advice, Jiannu seems to have withdrawn from the army?"
Seeing Jiannu starting to retreat from a distance, Gao Qiqian couldn't help but be overjoyed, wouldn't he? No way? It's not going to be another win this time, is it? Then he will really enter the Marquis.
Throughout the ages, how many eunuchs can be crowned marquis?
Well, the exception is Husband Wang, who is the companion of Long Live Lord.
Gao Qiqian was full of longing, but was poured cold water by Xu Yingwei.
"There is no such good thing." Xu Yingwei shook his head and said, "Jiannu was just frightened by our air force, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while, so he retreated, but he will make a comeback soon." ”
"Let's do it all over again, at least today this siege is solved."
Gao Qiqian was still happy: "We can leave at night." ”
It's good to go, so you don't have to stay here and wait for Jiannu to attack.
While the two were talking, horns suddenly sounded in the north and east.
Immediately, the Mongol cavalry, who were watching from afar, swept towards the west and south.
Seeing this scene, Gao Qiqian's face suddenly collapsed, and he couldn't go.
Xu Yingwei never considered leaving, even if he left, he would win the battle before leaving.
Because Chongzhen clearly told him that the purpose of this battle was to build confidence in the field, he would definitely not leave until he achieved a decisive victory.
At that moment, Xu Yingwei shouted: "Pass the order." ”
"All infantry brigades should hurry up to widen and deepen the trenches."
"All baggage battalions should seize the time to repair the partial vans."
"Besides, the medics are stepping up to treat the wounded."
"Mines should also be planted in front of the trenches, and more mines should be planted."
Anyway, this time I came to Liaodong and brought a lot of mines.
While giving the order, Xu Yingwei turned around and got out of the nest car.
"Xu Wuniu!" With a low shout, the scout captain Xu Wuniu came upside down.
At this moment, Zheng Sen's No. 1 flying car slowly descended, and it was still three feet high from the ground, so Zheng Sen hurriedly jumped over the guardrail and jumped off the hanging basket, but fell because of his leg numbness.
"Brother Da Mu, this etiquette is really a bit excessive."
Xu Yingwei said with a smile: "You don't need to give me a bow." ”
"Who gave you the blame?" Zheng Sen rolled over and got up and snorted a few times.
After spitting out the mud and sand in his mouth, Zheng Sen grinned again: "Brother Zhen, this battle is enjoyable, I have never fought such an enjoyable battle in my life!" ”
"It's like you've fought a lot of battles." Xu Yingwei rolled his eyes and said.
Zheng Sen snorted lightly, and said angrily: "Anyway, it's not less than you kid." ”
After saying this, he said: "I won't tell you, I have to quickly replenish tung oil and bombs, and blow up Jiannu again, Jiannu wants to run is not so easy, can it outrun our air force?" ”
"Don't worry, Jiannu didn't run." Xu Yingwei pointed to the Mongolian cavalry who were coming around, and then said, "In addition, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?" ”
Zheng Sen asked, "Do you have any suggestions?" ”
Xu Yingwei said: "Don't bring grenades this time, the lethality of grenades is very strong, but they are too bulky, you can only bring ten at a time, and the landing time is too long." ”
"That's right." Zheng Sen's face immediately fell.
Xu Yingwei said: "So, you might as well bring a few more scouts." ”
"With scouts?" Zheng Sen's eyes lit up suddenly.
Is it to take the scout cavalry armed with Type 20 rifles into the air, and then let them condescend from high in the air and shoot the Mongol cavalry with Type 20 rifles?
Lead is much faster than a grenade.
This picture is so beautiful that Zheng Sen feels excited just thinking about it.
At that moment, Zheng Sen continued: "It's no problem to bring your scouts, but I also have a condition, you have to borrow twenty Type 20s from our Air Force, how about it?" ”
"No problem." Xu Yingwei nodded happily.
At that moment, Zheng Sen added 2 barrels of tung oil to the flying car.
Xu Wuniu also selected 20 scouts and prepared to take a flying car to the sky.
In this way, together with the commander and driver of each flying car, a total of 40 people, an air hunting team will be formed, which will be able to hunt and kill the Mongol cavalry from the air with impunity.
However, if nothing else, there will be another accident.
The charm of war is that it is always full of uncertainties.
Until the last minute, you never know what's going to happen next.
Just when the Air Force replenished the flying car with tung oil, and when Xu Wuniu and other 20 scouts boarded the flying car and prepared to go to the sky, a fierce northwest wind suddenly blew on the Liaohe Plain.
The wind force has reached five or six levels, to say the least, and it continues to increase.
If it is lifted into the air to fight, the flying car is very likely to be blown away by the strong wind, and it is impossible to defeat the six-level wind power by relying on the power output of artificial instant 1 horsepower cruise 0.1 horsepower.
"!" Seeing this, Zheng Sen couldn't help but curse.
"Quick, put out the fire extinguisher, put away the car, hurry!"
Thanks to Zheng Sen's quick reaction, the Air Force took off in time.
That is, not long after the Air Force retracted the take-off car, the wind increased sharply.
This time, the wind directly increased to level 8, blowing up all the sand and gravel on the plain.
This time, not only the Ming army and the Qing army suffered, but the Mongolian cavalry who was responsible for monitoring the Ming army was even more miserable.
However, this was actually a good thing for the Mongol cavalry.
Because it avoided being hunted by the scouts of the Ming army.
Originally, Xu Yingwei not only planned to let the scouts hunt from the air in a flying car, but also planned to send out the remaining scout cavalry to hunt and kill the Mongolian cavalry outside.
If it weren't for this gale, hundreds or even thousands of Mongol cavalry would have been hunted and killed.
However, this sudden northwest wind directly frustrated Xu Yingwei's wishful thinking, and the wind blew so much that people couldn't open their eyes, how could they shoot? I can only cancel it.
……
Dolgon: This would have retreated five miles away.
Cao Eryu took the army's clothes to set up the tent and spread the felt on the ground.
Dolgon sat down on the felt, tired from the day, and did not want to move.
"Hengjiu, a few of you also sit down to rest, you are all tired for a day." Dolgon motioned for Hong Chengchou and several hardcore traitors to sit down and rest, and asked Cao Eryu to serve soju.
After a few sips of soju, my body finally warmed up.
The wind suddenly increased, blowing the tent to the ground.
Cao Eryu hurriedly went out of the tent and took the coat to strengthen the big tent.
Ning Wan glanced outside the tent and said worriedly: "Master, this is a white-haired wind, and if there will be heavy snow tonight, it will be troublesome." ”
"Nothing trouble." Dolgon smiled and said, "Our warriors of the Eight Banners of Manchuria have grown up in the white mountains and black waters since childhood, what kind of battle have you never seen?" A mere wind and snow is nothing. ”
Seeing that Dolgon had made up his mind, I didn't say anything more.
If it really snows heavily, the Qing army will have a hard time, and the Ming army will be the same.
And there is another advantage of snow, that is, Chongzhen is even more unlikely to run away.
Dolgon instructed: "Spread my will, tonight we will add food to the Eight Banners Han Army and the Green Battalion, in addition to the wheat rice tube, add an additional four taels of preserved venison for each ding!" ”
……
It was getting dark very quickly.
The northwest wind also stopped.
But as soon as the wind stopped, it began to snow.
Fortunately, it is not too big, and if it continues to fall until midnight, it is estimated that it can accumulate two or three feet thick, which will definitely have an impact on the actions of infantry and cavalry, but this can be overcome.
After a full meal, 50,000 Qing troops returned to the battlefield.
Seeing from a distance that a bonfire had been lit on the Ming army's position, Dolgon couldn't help but look happy.
Because this means that the green battalion can take advantage of the cover of night to approach to 300 or even 200 steps, and then use the light of the bonfire to aim at the wall of the Ming army's side carriage and directly approach the artillery bombardment.
At such a close distance, it is dark to hit the light, and it can be hit very accurately.
If nothing happens, the first shelling alone can destroy at least 100 vans.
At that moment, Dolgon shouted: "Spread the order, let the green battalion put the camels on their heads, quietly lean up, and then carry out artillery bombardment after approaching two hundred paces, and strive to destroy the side car wall of the Ming army on the periphery in the first round of shelling!" ”
Dolgon's orders were quickly heard, and the Green Battalion began to sneak forward quietly.
……
Because the periphery of the battlefield had been cut off by the Mongol cavalry, the Ming army did not know that Jiannu had returned.
When Jiannu came back, Xu Yingwei was sitting with Zheng Sen and a few other Qinwang scholars to eat, and the other soldiers had already eaten dinner, but a few of them had not eaten until now.
The food was also dry food, and the small stove was not opened.
This is a bit of a meaning of suffering in the front and enjoying in the back.
At least so far, the morale of the scholars is very good.
Zheng Sen took a sip of wine and said, "Jiannu is probably not coming tonight." ”
"It's hard to say." Xu Yingwei shook his head and said, "If I am the commander of Jiannu, I happened to surprise us tonight." ”
"What a surprise." Zheng Sen said abruptly.
"Haven't you already secretly sent dozens of ambush troops?"
"You've seen it all?" Xu Yingwei said with a grin.
As a result, as soon as the words fell, a bang sounded outside the position.
"The thief is really coming!" Zheng Sen jumped up from the ground.
Xu Yingwei's reaction was even faster than Zheng Sen's, and he had already jumped up and shouted: "Order, all infantry battalions immediately extinguish the bonfires, immediately extinguish all the bonfires, quickly!" ”
The herald quickly hung up the tri-color signal light.
After seeing the signal lights, the Ming troops on the periphery extinguished the bonfires one after another.
Suddenly, the entire Ming army's position fell into darkness.
In the darkness, the soldiers of the Ming Army, who were originally sitting on the ground to rest, got up one after another, and under the guidance of the military horn, they quickly entered the line behind the wall of the side carriage.
In the blink of an eye, the line array was re-arranged.
This time, it's a dense array shoulder to shoulder.
"All of them, bayonet!" In the darkness sounded the voice of the priest's command.
The soldiers of the Ming army who heard the command pulled out their bayonets one after another and put them on the barrels.
The soldiers in the front row even put their flintlock muskets with bayonets on the wall of the side van, and a long row of faint cold light immediately appeared in the darkness, but they could see it clearly when they got closer.
