Chapter 62: The golden cicada sheds its shell to lure the enemy to chase
"Please come to my barracks as soon as possible and discuss the evacuation plan." Zhu Cijiao said and returned to the barracks.
This is Zhu Cijiao's accommodation and war room, although it is a little simpler, but there is no problem in deploying the combat plan.
Zhang Yi, Zhang Yin, Buck Hua, the five five elements guard commanders, and the five action captains entered the barracks one after another, and Zhu Cijiao immediately made combat arrangements.
"Now our location is here (Guishun), there is a small village called Jianpo ten miles to the west, branch off at Jianpo, go to Zhen'an in the northwest direction, and go to Quang Nam in the southwest direction." Zhu Cijiao first introduced the geographical orientation to everyone.
"This Jiancheng is an important strategic location, we will fight a battle here and turn Jianpo into a grave for the enemy, do you have any confidence?" Zhu Cijiao asked.
"Yes!" Only buckwheat replied, and the others seemed to have no bottom in their hearts.
"The soldiers are not tired of cheating, and still adopt the tactics of 'leading, intercepting, and slashing in the middle', this tactic has been practiced yesterday, and everyone should be very clear, I will only talk about how to cooperate with the front, middle and back."
"The artillery action team and the arrow rain action team rushed to the Jianpo ambush as quickly as possible, and you don't need to bring mortars, ammunition, and arrows, I will distribute them to the designated location." Zhu Cijiao took a bamboo pole and pointed to the map hanging on the tent to deploy.
"The nose-pulling action team led the enemy to Jianpo, and then led to the direction of Quang Nam, the current enemy army is about 15,000 people, and after 10,000 people pass through Jianpo, the artillery team and the arrow rain team will attack and eat the 5,000 people behind." The bamboo pole in Zhu Ciyi's hand struck twice at the place marked "Jianpao" on the map.
"The three guards of the Five Elements Guard, the Wood Guard, the Water Guard, and the Fire Guard also quickly rushed to Jianpo to ambush two miles in the direction of Guangnan, and after the battle started, they responded to the nose-pulling action team, and the nose-holding team took the opportunity to evacuate to Zhen'an." Zhu Cijiao said, looking at Hei Tan, He Miao, and Lin Yan.
"The side response action team, set off in advance, go to an ambush one mile away from Jianpo, and after the battle starts, cooperate with the arrow rain team to annihilate the enemy."
"After the artillery team, the arrow rain team, and the flank response team annihilated 5,000 enemy troops on the Jianpo slope, they quickly rushed to Zhen'an to respond to the lead, so as to prevent the nose team from being bitten by the pursuing enemy troops."
"Deputy Commander Zhang, Staff Officer Zhang, do you have anything to add?" Zhu Cijiao said and looked at Zhang Yi and Zhang Yin.
"If there is no more, everyone will follow the commander's arrangement." Zhang Yi had no new opinions, and all of them agreed.
"I don't have any new opinions, as long as some members of the nose team are really poor in physical strength, don't participate, otherwise the action of the entire action team will be delayed." Zhang Yin saw the crux of the problem.
"Chief of Staff Zhang's opinion is very good, please take the nose captain to clean it up immediately, see how many can't run, just stay nearby and don't participate." Zhu Cijiao adopted Zhang Yin's opinion.
"Do you have any opinions?" Zhu Cijiao asked again.
"Nope."
"Do the action teams and guards know their mission?"
"Report to the commander, it's clear."
"Good! Then act immediately according to the plan, and I will pay tribute to everyone's triumphant wine in the town at night! ”
Zhu Cijiao said, holding a sword in his hand, walked out of the war room, and saw off the teams at the gate of the camp.
The Five Elements Guard, the Flank Response Team, the Cannonball Team, and the Arrow Rain Team quickly assembled, walked out of the camp in order, and set off towards the sharp slope.
In the end, only Operation Nose and the vanguard remained, waiting for the pursuit of the enemy army on the camp.
In order not to let the enemy notice that most of the personnel had moved lightly, Zhu Ziyi deliberately left ten mortars and ten boxes of shells when he collected the mortars.
"The vanguard team and the nose team each select ten gunners with good physique and fast running, and two of them are responsible for one cannon, and when the enemy attacks, we will immediately withdraw after shooting these shells." Zhu Cijiao arranged on the spot.
A total of 20 gunners from the vanguard and nose team were selected on the spot, and they stood in front for Zhu Ci to see.
Zhu Cijiao looked at them one by one, patted his body again, and nodded and said, "Just twenty of you, come here, and I will teach you how to fire shells." ”
Everyone followed Zhu Cijiao to the mortar erected on the steps, and Zhu Cijiao taught everyone how to adjust the gun position and how to drop the shells.
"The target of the mortar is determined by adjusting the angle of the barrel, the general angle is sixty degrees, and after the shell is fired, a parabola is formed to hit the target." Zhu Cijiao first explained the principle.
"How can you be sure it's a 60-degree angle? The angle formed perpendicular to the ground by the barrel is 90 degrees, and the 90 degrees are divided into three parts, two of which are 60 degrees. Zhu Cijiao picked up the barrel of the cannon and gestured to everyone.
"Let's follow this method and make adjustments as soon as possible." Zhu Cijiao said that the angles and directions of each barrel should be corrected one by one.
The enemy army really came in time, and as soon as the adjustment of the artillery positions was completed, the enemy troops with a strong lineup surrounded them.
In front of them were thousands of archers, followed by soldiers with cold weapons such as broadswords and spears.
Fortunately, the enemy's ten cannons were still moving slowly behind the soldiers due to the inconvenience of transportation on the mountain road.
"In addition to the gunners, Staff Officer Zhang, and Buckwheat Liaison to stay, please ask Deputy Commander Zhang to evacuate with the rest of the personnel first, and each person will bring a wooden plank when evacuating."
Zhu Cijiao had predicted in advance that the enemy would use archers to attack, and in order to prevent the rain of arrows from hurting people, he had already made preparations in advance, and transferred a large number of anti-arrow planks from his weapons.
Zhang Yi led the vanguard and the rest of the nose team, each picked up a plank on the camp, and hurriedly set foot on the mountain road leading to the sharp slope.
"Each gunner quickly opened the shell box, took out the shell, pointed the bullet upward, held the shell in both hands, and sent it into the barrel with force." Zhu Cijiao demonstrated unhurriedly.
Twenty gunners imitated Zhu Cijiao and successively sent cannonballs into the barrel, and more than a dozen shells were fired out one after another, blowing up the archers who were rushing in front of the enemy army.
"Quick, quick, get all the shells out and get out." Zhu Cijiao walked back and forth, directing everyone to fire cannons.
There was only one box of five shells for each emplacement, and with a loud rumbling sound, it took less than five minutes for each emplacement to finish firing.
"Quick, get out." Zhu Cijiao commanded everyone to evacuate, and Zhang Yin, Buck Hua and him evacuated last.
A total of 50 shells were fired in just a few minutes, and the scene was blown up in smoke, and the enemy suffered countless casualties.
By the time the artillery fire stopped, the smoke cleared, and the enemy rushed up the steps, the camp was empty.
At this time, Zhu Cijiao's 20 gunners, carrying mortar barrels, had already run far away and successfully realized the golden cicada shelling.
"You see, the remnants of Zhu Youlang ran over there, chase, chase, this time we must not let him escape." The enemy general pointed to the direction in which Zhu Cijiao fled and gave an order.
As a result, tens of thousands of enemy troops were led by Zhu Cijiao's nose team to pursue in the direction of Jianpo, and there was a great tendency to chase Zhu Youlang to the edge of the sky, but the enemy army never thought that their opponent was Zhu Cijiao, who had just turned seven years old.
