Chapter 275: Battle of Jiashan Pass II

Cen Rui was a Tusi official, who fought with those hostile Tusi in Guangxi all the year round, and sometimes sent troops over the mountains and mountains into Vietnam to fight with the elephant soldiers of the Li Dynasty, and the same tricks as Mufu to deal with the elephants, in addition to using firearms and cannons to deter elephants, their common tactics were to dig pits on the way that the enemy army must pass.

Cen Rui nodded: "My Tusi soldiers are not equipped with firearms, most of them are bows and crossbows, and the soldiers of your mansion have many firearms, but the firearms of the rebels are even worse, and the people of Zhejiang Dusi are all smart, and they know that it is the most difficult to attack Gaosaka, so let us attack the main attack." ”

Mu Qishan didn't want to be a substitute for the dead, the 30,000 people he brought under his command were the soldiers and horses of Mu Mansion guarding the border of Yunnan, the elite was abnormal, if he died here in vain, it would be difficult for him to explain to the Mu family when he went back.

"The general also agrees with Lord Cen's point of view, so that Lord Cen is invited, and our two families join forces to dig a one-zhang wide pit under the Takasaka ground, and then use the excavated soil as a wall, if the enemy wants to attack down, our army can use the earthen wall as a cover, Lord Cen will lead the army to throw spears and other objects, and the general will let the firearms troops deal with it;

As long as we try to block them as much as possible, our task will be completed, and the rest of the things will be left to the people of Zhejiang Dusi. ”

Cen Rui nodded in agreement: "Everything is up to Chief Mu." ”

The two were exchanging opinions, and after a while, they heard the sound of earth-shattering shouts and crackling, which they were familiar with.

"Muskets?"

Cen Rui was shocked: "Hurry up, blow the trumpet, the rebels attack the camp." ”

Mu Qishan could not expect that the opponent would choose to choose a night attack under the heavy rain, this is a taboo for the use of soldiers, the bright moon is in the sky at night in midsummer, but it becomes two different things when it rains, and the consequences of the night attack at night can only be casualties on both sides.

However, when Cen Rui and Mu Qishan walked out of the tent together, violent explosions sounded one after another, and the two of them were surprised that the rebels could actually light artillery on a rainy day.

Of course, the officers and men of the Fourth Division, who were close to the camp in the first wave, under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, threw all the grenades and bullets that only needed to tear off the rope in their hands into the camp, not only blowing up the wooden fence of the camp, but also blowing up the soldiers who were hiding in the tents to avoid the rain.

Occasionally, one or two became duds, and at that time, explosions and gunfire came one after another, and some of these southern soldiers who were hit by a sudden attack could not find their way.

"Raise your gun..."

"Put..."

"Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang..."

The sudden night attack on Guangxi and Yunnan caught the two troops and horses off guard, and the camp where 50,000 people were stationed was not a small place, and the Chinese military tent where Mu Qishan and Cen Rui were located had to go out to the gate of the Yuan Gate for a tea time.

So much so that Lu Xiangsheng, who personally led the troops, broke through their camp with just one face, and a large number of sergeants rushed in.

"The order is that each unit should advance in turn in a company, and the enemy must not be given a chance to breathe."

Lu Xiangsheng had reason to believe that Sun Chuanting on the land of Takasaka was a fool, and he would be trapped on the land of Takasaka while launching a night attack, and under the attack of the two sides, all the 50,000 officers and soldiers under the land of Takasaka would definitely become their prey.

Zhang Yangming was awakened by the earth-shattering cannonade, although he was the commander-in-chief, but he was born as a civilian official, and he didn't need to wear armor, he had already fallen asleep when Lu Xiangsheng launched a night attack on Mu Qishan and Cen Rui, until he was woken up by Huang Sihai with a group of personal soldiers.

Knowing that the opponent braved the heavy rain to launch a night attack, Zhang Yangming was shocked, and hurriedly ordered Huang Sihai to lead troops to rescue the soldiers and horses of the two provinces, and then ordered Huang Chongtao to prepare the whole army and launch an attack on the Jiashan Guan Fortress.

The rain was not heavy before, but when Huang Sihai walked out of the Chinese military tent, the torrential rain mixed with the sound of gunfire made him feel whether he was ringing in his ears.

wiped the rain off his face, but he found that the rain lingered, so he could only keep blinking out of the air to get the rain down his face: "This assault is not a joke with the life of the sergeant?" ”

He wouldn't say this in front of Zhang Yangming, now that the Donglin Party is dominant, he can't swallow the fruit of offending Zhang Yangming, and where is he the opponent of a civilian official.

The personal soldier will approach and say: "My lord, our task is to rescue those soldiers in the south, they can fight, our town soldiers are from the army, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, even if they lose their lives, they are also the guards under the command of Du Si, and they have nothing to do with us." ”

Huang Sihai was woken up by his own general, and then nodded: "Your words make sense, what are we doing?" It was this battle that was lost, and it was still him who commanded Lord Zhang, and the general was just carrying out military affairs;

Gather the horses of your headquarters and rescue them quickly. ”

.

You Shiwei stood outside the big tent, he was dressed in armor, obviously prepared, and looked back at his brothers: "It seems that the rebels can't help it, taking advantage of the heavy rain to attack, the officers and soldiers are not prepared for bows and arrows, so they can only fill it with human lives, our opportunity has come;

Quickly, quickly send someone to ask Zuo Shen to discuss matters in the future. ”

It is rare for You Shiwei to be so polite, the main reason is because Zuo Liangyu really has a set of things, and now he is ready to let Zuo Liangyu exert another effort to take down the Jiashan Guan Fort in front of him, and after the matter is completed, it is also a matter of benefit to his own army.

"Really?"

After Zuo Liangyu got You Shiwei's permission, his face was full of joy.

You Shiwei nodded: "General Zuo, your record in Suzhou and Huating is outstanding, and the general has already sent someone to report your victory, I believe that it will be no problem to promote you to the rank of deputy general after this battle." ”

"I have thanked the chief soldier for his support..."

Zuo Liangyu was not only happy to be promoted, but also after breaking the Jiashan Guan fortress in front of him, You Shiwei once again promised him the right to loot wantonly, and promised that the Yulin border army would not participate in it, even if the people from the Zhejiang Dusi attacked, he would also stop the guards and let his soldiers get the benefits first.

After several battles, the soldiers under Zuo Liangyu's command are extremely tough, of course, the most important thing is because of the promise he gave to his soldiers, as long as there is the benefit of looting, who is not willing to do it?

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu is not greedy, and promises to hand over only half of the looted materials to his subordinates, which is also a great opportunity to make a fortune.

"The humble duty must do his best to serve the court."

You Shiwei nodded: "General Zuo has a heart, you listen to the sound of the cannon, it must be the people of the Zhejiang Dusi who launched the attack, although the heavy rain makes the firearms unusable, but fortunately, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Zhejiang Dusi, even if they use human lives to fill it, they can also fill the Jiashan Guan Fort in front of them;

With such a credit, how can they be robbed of all the people in Zhejiang? ”

You Shiwei's incendiary words stimulated Zuo Liangyu, and he immediately hugged his fists and said: "There are nearly 20,000 combatable soldiers under the command of the lowly position, and they are willing to be the main force of the forward." ”

You Shiwei was overjoyed: "Okay, General Zuo is really a model of the warriors of the country, you can rest assured, the firearms battalion under the command of this general has firearms captured by the rebels, and they can still be fired in the rain, so they will be sent to cover the left and right flanks for General Zuo." ”

Zuo Liangyu clenched his fists: "Let's arrange it." ”

Looking at Zuo Liangyu, who was leaving in the rain, You Shilu leaned in and said, "Second brother, this person will definitely be a big scourge to the country in the future." ”

You Shiwei couldn't see Zuo Liangyu's character, so he sneered: "The moment when the rain stops after all, when the sun comes out, his umbrella will be useless;

Order, the whole army is ready, Shilu, you take 10,000 horses and people from the firearms battalion to assist Zuo Liangyu in the battle, and my eldest brother and I will take the rest of the men and horses to Gaosakadi to help from the inside, and strive to be able to take the rebel camp in Gaosakadi. ”

Sun Chuanting is not a person who sits and waits for death, as early as the moment the gun rang out, he knew that it must be Lu Xiangsheng who sent people to attack in the rain at night, of course, he also had this idea after the rain at night, but as the enemy dug a pit, he gave up this plan, and could only send troops to build a fence on the front line to confront the officers and soldiers.

"My lord, the enemy camp is in chaos, and the shouts of killing are shaking the sky, presumably it must be the military seat leading the troops to attack the camp."

Yi Zhongming, commander of the Sixth Division, bowed his hand: "Why don't you take this opportunity to cover up and kill, you will definitely annihilate this enemy army." ”

Sun Chuanting also agreed with Yi Zhongming's words, and was about to give an order, when a herald came in the rain: "Deputy commander, the big thing is not good, a large number of enemy troops have appeared in the northwest direction, and they are groping from the west of the camp. ”

The officers and troops in the northwest were You Shiwei's headquarters from the direction of Songjiang, and Sun Chuanting had long been on guard against this sudden group of officers and troops, and at this moment he came to report that they had moved towards his side, thinking that he must have taken this opportunity to launch an attack on his own battalion.

After all, the location of the Gaosakadi camp is too special, and if it is not taken, it will not be able to threaten the Jiashan Guanbao Village.

"Order, Yi Zhongming led a brigade of troops to attack the enemy head-on, remember, they have dug pits, don't pursue too deep, this officer will personally go to meet this enemy army who dares to sneak attack."

.

"Grenade Bomb Preparation..."

Luo Jiming, who has not worn armor for many years, is just a regular military uniform at the moment, and after being wet by heavy rain, he can actually feel a trace of chill over time, and the heavy rain can extinguish the beast oil torch, but the torch wrapped in fierce fire oil is not something that the heavy rain can extinguish.

Obviously, his opponent was also reluctant to reveal his target too much, so much so that he stood on the wall of the fort and saw a little blurred black shadow moving in the distance.

However, the enemy troops who came to attack were obviously also prepared, and one after another crossbow arrows broke through the rain, and they even killed and injured dozens of people under their command, and the opponent's crossbow machine was obviously not an ordinary hand crossbow, I am afraid that it came with a crossbow bed.

The shouting of killing at the front door suddenly became louder, and under the heavy rain in the dark night, countless guards carried big shields and ladders and rushed towards the fortress of Jiashan Pass, crackling gunshots accompanied by the opponent's fall to the ground, Luo Jiming was surprised to find that the guards who were originally mediocre and afraid of death actually rushed forward with casualties.

"Report, there is an enemy attack at the north gate."
