Chapter 170: It's Raining

When this unexpected news came, Fu Youde behaved very blandly.

"Guogong, the second prince is dying, he wants to see you." The person who spoke was the old man next to Fu Zheng, who had a lot of feelings for Fu Zheng, and was unmoved when he saw Fu Youde. The heart is like a stone. He couldn't help but say.

Fu Youde was still calm, and he said, "I know. What did he want to tell me. You can write it down on paper, or tell you and let you relay it to me."

Then he waved his hand and let him go down.

Before this person could say anything, he was stopped by the guards around him.

Fu Youde's heart is not as indifferent as he imagined.

Fu Youde only has three sons, the eldest son is dead, and now the second son is also dead. And the third son was in the Jingshi as a hostage, in the palace of the guard. He is also the youngest. Fu Youde never counted on his youngest son.

As for the grandchildren, they are all too young.

Still can't see anything?

That is, no matter what happens in the future, to this point, the future of the Fu family is probably a relative, and the influence in the army is not wanted.

After all, everything depends on people to support everything.

If Fu Zhong is still alive, the future Fu family can inherit his current position, if Fu Zheng does not die, the Fu family is estimated to be an important vein in the army after his death, but now Fu Zheng is gone. Fu Youde suddenly remembered Tang He.

Tang He is dead, and no one in the Tang family cares at all. It's because the Tang family is now only one or two hairy boys who have just come of age, how can they support the situation?

The Fu family in the future will probably be like this.

Rich idlers are just big.

It's just that no matter how sad Fu Youde is in his heart, there is really nothing to do at this moment, to see his son for the last time. Because every minute now counts the victory.

Ye Shen can drag it out, but he can't drag it out.

Fu Youde adjusted his mood, returned to the original Gujing Wubo mentality, and slowly marched north with the army. Recently, he could see the tent of the military doctor on one side, but he did not stop after all, nor did he ask which tent his second child was in.

"Boom, boom." Miles away, an explosion sounded.

It is clear that the striker has already collided with the second direction of the Northern Army.

-------

From Fu Youde's counteroffensive to the present. Occupy a quick word. No one expected that Fu Youde would change into a big magic trick almost overnight, and the army that was originally confronting the Northern Army on various fronts suddenly gathered together.

Even abandon the rear of their own wings.

None of this will give the Northern Army time to react.

Once Ye Shen was given a day, the situation would be completely different.

No matter how many people die, they can't stay.

Fu Youde wants to be fast, and Ye Shen has to be slow.

The reason why Ye Shen sent cavalry to counterattack and not rescue the first line of defense, but to build the second line of defense, was also this idea.

Drag it off.

So, in the second line of defense is built in a village.

Various buildings and ravines outside the village were used as fortifications to resist the attack of the Southern army. In addition to this, there is some artillery.

This place is not unfamiliar to the Southern Army, because the Southern Army has retreated from here little by little.

Because of the stalemate between the two sides, the southern army slowly retreated. Everything here is familiar to the Yugoslav army. And the artillery could not keep up with the speed of the army's advance, and on the first line of defense, there was simply not enough artillery, and some artillery could not play a sufficient role in the surging strength advantage of the southern army.

However, the second line of defense is different.

With this small village called Qinzhuang as the core, more than 100 artillery pieces were arranged.

And the number of artillery of the Southern Army was almost none. Without him, for the sake of speed, it would have been impossible for many artillery pieces to follow the army here.

Fu Youde looked at the frontline positions with a telescope and immediately began to attack

However, the focus of this attack is not on Qinzhuang, but on both sides of Qinzhuang.

Prior to this, the two sides were relatively lined up. In essence, when the two sides confronted each other, they found that the casualties of the assault were too large and there were too many problems, so they detoured left and right, and the opposite side would be the same, so the battle line between the two sides became longer and longer.

And Fu Youde broke out at the beginning and broke the first line of defense. Just as a gap was knocked out in the northern army's defense line, Ye Shen urgently formed a second line of defense to ensure that the southern army could not directly attack Guangwu Town.

What are the troop forces that can be mobilized?

It is the nearest force, and the troops on both sides are withdrawn. Because of the distance, the troops on both sides of the gap were the first to withdraw. In this way, a fault line was formed between the army in the distance and the second line of defense.

Fu Youde naturally knew that it was impossible for the two wings to hit Guangwu Town.

After all, Ye Shen couldn't be unguarded against this at all. But attacking the two flanks was to divide the entire northern army into three sections, and to block the men and horses from the periphery for a while, so that they could not join the army in time.

Give Fu Youde more time to fight.

The rest of the people were the same as before, attacking Qinzhuang at all costs.

Qin Zhuang's defenses were not too strict. After all, before today, the Northern Army had never thought of a fierce battle here. Therefore, there was no time to repair the offensive at all. But the problem is that Qinzhuang has a certain foundation, and some houses can block the fortifications to use, and the fire gun cannot penetrate the rammed earth.

The Yugoslav offensive was fought hard.

But at the same time, as Fu Youde expected, the two wings also cut off the contraction of the two sides of the Northern Army.

Both sides are locked in fierce battles in all three directions.

At this time, the intentions of the representatives of both sides were already very clear.

Everyone knows what the other person is going to do.

All that's left is to fight.

And at this time, a new situation happened.

That's when it rains.

When the heavy rain hit Fu Youde, Fu Youde was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "Your Majesty is protected by heaven, this is the will of heaven. Give the order and the whole army will attack, so that the whole army will know this."

Although it is said, He Xi has made a lot of suggestions for the development of firearms. But the problem is that the firearms used now are still black powder, although the flintlock is not an arquebus, it seems that it is not affected by the weather, and it can continue to fight in the rain, but the problem is that many things are probable.

In fact, the firing rate of flintlock pistols is never 100 percent. Generally speaking, in eight or nine achievements are qualified. After all, whether it started or not, I felt it. Just a few more hits without starting. But in the rain, this probability increases a lot.

What's more, the Northern Army did not think of fighting here. Gunpowder reserves are not much, not less. I didn't have time to do the water treatment. A lot of it is stacked in the open air.

Of course, the gunpowder itself is waterproof, and many of it is wrapped in oiled paper.

But how much can such waterproofing play in heavy rain. It's hard to say.

Although the Southern Army is also facing the same problem, as mentioned before, Fu Youde actually wants to fight hand-to-hand combat, because in hand-to-hand combat, the local numerical advantage of the Southern Army can be maximized, rather than being limited by firepower, and it is useless to have more people.

Heavy rain does not completely offset the advantage of firepower. But it's enough.

For Fu Youde, isn't God helping me.

With Fu Youde's order, the morale of the Southern Army was obviously high. Moreover, the heavy rain also brought about a decrease in visibility, which gave more cover when the officers and men of the Southern Army rushed forward. There were quite a few fewer casualties.

Suddenly, Qin Zhuang's pressure increased greatly.

-------

Ye Shen looked at the heavy rain outside the window and listened to the sound of artillery not far away.

The sound of the cannon was much quieter.

Although it is said that artillery can be fired in the rain, after all, it takes many more steps. Ye Shen also understood how unfavorable this heavy rain was for them.

Actually, Ye Shen also knew that it was normal for it to rain now.

on the Yellow River

There is rain in the Yellow River, the Yellow River is rising, the flood season has arrived, it is normal for the Yellow River basin to rain, and it is not normal to rain without rain, but this heavy rain is too bad time.

A few days earlier, a few days later, it's very different.

This made Ye Shen have to have a special idea, that is, he felt that he was far inferior to Fu Youde in some places, such as the prediction of the weather, did Fu Youde have predicted the arrival of this heavy rain in advance before choosing this time?
