Chapter 276: Battle of Jiashan Pass III

Luo Jiming was even glad that he had pre-arranged the troops of a brigade under his command to guard the north gate, just to prevent the officers and troops behind him from taking advantage of the situation to launch a night attack.

At this moment, after receiving the news that the north gate was being attacked, he loudly ordered the heralds: "Go, send two regiments from the reserve to pass, and you must guard the north gate." ”

Mu Qishan was a little unstoppable, 10,000 of the 30,000 people under his command were firearms soldiers, because of the heavy rain, these 10,000 people had been gathered around his Chinese army tent as ineffective personnel, and the remaining 20,000 people bore the brunt of the position reasons, when a Dusi's soldiers and horses were completely annihilated, the former military camp general personally ran to Mu Qishan to ask for the withdrawal of troops.

Mu Qishan naturally wouldn't waste this precious 30,000 border troops here, but in front of him, the north of the camp was broken through, and the news of the attack of the Gaosakadi rebels came from the east.

The rebels did not give them the slightest opportunity to engage in close combat, so they could only increase their casualties in vain.

"The general army, you can only break the camp from the south and get out, otherwise the army will be in danger."

"General Soldier Mu..."A soldier dressed as a general banner ran quickly, and he came to deliver a message: "General You soldiers in the north of Jiashan launched a general attack, Governor Zhang also ordered the whole army to attack, and Huang Zongbing came with 30,000 horses to support. ”

Mu Qishan was overjoyed, he was already preparing to run, but he didn't expect You Shiwei behind him to take advantage of the situation to attack, and Huang Sihai actually came with 30,000 people to support, so he couldn't run even more.

"There should be a lot of fire and powder in the big tent that is not damp, quickly send someone to screen it, and then set up the reserve army tent, and light the cannon in the military tent, and this general will also let this gang of rebels taste the taste of cannons."

"Yes..."

Mu Qishan's 10,000 firearms troops have a variety of firearms, but the most equipped is the turtledove foot gun that Mu Fu bought back from Nanyang, this firearm is more powerful than the flintlock pistol, but the range is comparable to the flintlock pistol, if it can be fired in the rain, it is invincible.

However, Mu Qishan also brought fifty small guns used by the Dutch on the warship, this kind of artillery is a miniature version of the general cannon, but these cannons are all imitated by Mu Fu himself, and they are naturally not too high in terms of lethality.

"Knock knock..."

Several cannon shots rang out, and a black iron bullet flew into the Tianxiong army that had already rushed into the camp, causing them a lot of casualties.

Lu Xiangsheng was also shocked, he never imagined that his opponent could still light a cannon on a rainy day.

"Spread out, beware of enemy artillery."

After the four-round cannon salvo, there was no movement inside the enemy camp, and Lu Xiangsheng immediately reacted, the gunpowder used by the opponent's cannon must have been a part of the damp, and now the shelling was stopped, proving that their gunpowder had been used up.

"The whole army obeys the order, kill it, kill..."

"Kill, kill, kill..."

"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...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The battle is fierce and abnormal, not only the Jiashan Pass Fort, but also the camp where Mu Qishan is located, or the Gaosakadi camp of Sun Chuanting, it can be said that the Jiashan Pass at this moment has become a pot of porridge, and now the competition is only the morale of the sergeants and the combat effectiveness of the fighting troops.

After nearly four hours of fighting, Lu Xiangsheng already felt that his voice was hoarse, and his subordinates had successfully converged with Sun Chuanting's headquarters in the middle of Mu Qishan's camp, and separated Huang Sihai's support troops and Mu Qishan's and Cen Rui's troops on the west and east sides of the camp.

There were no less than 20,000 corpses in the camp, and the troops on both sides were already exhausted at this moment, and after fighting in the rain all night, the ammunition of Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting's troops had all been exhausted, and all the bayonets were inserted at this moment.

"Military seat, the big thing is not good, the fortress has been broken by the enemy..."

Lu Xiangsheng panicked in his heart, and then calmed himself down: "Where is Senior Commander Luo?" ”

"The enemy army attacked from the north gate, the Yulin army was strong in combat, and our army was caught off guard, and now Division Commander Luo is still defending the city in the direction of the south gate."

On his side, there are about 50,000 people, and the enemy army has gathered 150,000 people, three times his own, and now the only thing Lu Xiangsheng can do is to hold this big camp and delay the time as much as possible, because Qian Kai went to move the rescue troops, and the time should have come a long time ago.

"The enemy did not attack again."

Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he got the news, and ordered the sergeant to rest quickly and fight again an hour later.

And Huang Sihai's side has long been on the verge of collapse, if Lu Xiangsheng knew that he only needed to take the initiative to launch another attack, Huang Sihai would definitely be defeated and leave, and it was estimated that he would be angry with himself.

Counting the 30,000 people under Huang Sihai's department, the entire Dongda Battalion has more than 80,000 officers and soldiers, but more than 30,000 people were killed by Lu Xiangsheng's division in a night of fighting, and the reason why they always hung their breath was that the Guangxi wolf soldiers under Cen Rui's command were too capable of fighting, and they had been at the forefront of their resistance, otherwise not to mention Huang Sihai, even Mu Qishan would have to turn around and run.

The two sides were in such an awkward stalemate, but it broke the deadlock because You Shiwei personally led his troops to cover the killing.

"Brother Boya, you can't spend it here, once the morale is drained, you can only be slaughtered by others."

Most of Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army was composed of Liaodong soldiers, and this group of soldiers who had been in Liaodong for a long time were different from the new army's exiles and untouchables, and they paid attention to morale, and the new army paid attention to military discipline from the beginning, but this group of reorganized troops has long formed a situation of fighting by morale.

Sun Chuanting also carefully considered Lu Xiangsheng's words and agreed: "Although the casualties are heavy, there are at least more than 20,000 people now, you and I will each lead a surprise attack from two directions, even if we can't rush out, at least we must break up the enemy's camp, so that they have no good fruit to eat." ”

"That's it..."

.

'Boom...'

With a loud bang, the wall of the south gate of Jiashan Pass was knocked down, and the tidal wave of guards shouted and stepped on the corpse of the Tianxiong sergeant to kill in the pass.

Huang Chongtao's forehead was full of cold sweat, although he was soaked, but at the moment when the wall collapsed, he clearly felt that there was a wave of heat on his body that began to spread all over his body.

The rebels were too strong, and in the second half of the night, the 50,000 guards under his command retreated, and he himself personally killed two guard commanders to be able to hold down the position, but even so, there was still no way to break through the wall in front of him.

If it weren't for the sudden changes in the rebel fortress when the rain was light and the frontal defense was weakened, how could the remnants of his army be defeated and easily break through the wall.

It was Zhang Yangming, a civil official, who personally arrived at the frontal battlefield with the supervision team, and killed a few thousand-level generals who wanted to escape from the battle again, so that these greedy guards who were afraid of death were deterred, otherwise it would be difficult to rush in with morale and rewards.

"Boom..."

A violent explosion rushed into the sky, and a wave of air flew sideways at a speed visible to the naked eye, knocking everyone on the south side of the gate to the ground, Luo Jiming's ears were bleeding, and he stood up in a trance, and faintly heard someone report that the enemy had blown up their fire and powder store.

Even Lu Xiangsheng, who was three miles away, could feel the trembling of the earth.

Luo Jiming shook his head vigorously and shouted, "How many people are there in our army?" ”

The commander of the guard who followed him replied: "Division, we are the only ones left in the whole division, and the other brothers are all dead..."

Luo Jiming looked around, on the mud bag sandbag position piled up on the spot, there were less than 1,000 people at most, and there were more than 16,000 people in the entire division under his command.

"Concentrate all the ammunition and put all the bayonets on it, even if you hit the last man, you must not surrender."

"There is an order from the division, all of them are bayonets..."

"On the bayonet ..."

You Shilu sighed very much at the will to fight of Zuo Liangyu's department, driven by money, Zuo Liangyu's department finally took the lead in rushing into the fortress in front of him, and killed so many rebels with cold weapons in the flesh, and the severed heads could not be placed in the rear, and they had to send people to guard these heads that symbolized their military exploits.

"My lord, the rebels are surrounded in the village, and their number is no more than a thousand..."

Zhang Yangming, who was rewarded, was overjoyed, although there was no good news from Huang Sihai's side after all, but at this moment, the success of Jiashan Pass was taken, which already symbolized that the victory of this battle belonged to the imperial court.

"Go, send someone to the front of the battle to shout and persuade this remnant army to surrender..."

"The rebels inside listen, you and others are attached to the thieves, the court has the virtue of a good life, and you are allowed to put down your weapons and go out of the position to surrender, and the governor promises that only the first evil will be pursued, and the followers will not be investigated..."

"Only pursue the first evil, and the followers will not be investigated..."

However, the people who persuaded them to surrender shouted more than a dozen times, and the Tianxiong army headquarters in the opposite position still did not move.

Huang Chongtao in front of the battle couldn't wait for a long time, now they have obvious advantages, and they are fighting a good battle, wanting to eat the rebels in front of them who are less than a thousand people is like an elephant trampling an ant.

On the other hand, although Zuo Liangyu's department on the opposite side was surrounded in the rear, most of them went to loot and loot, but it was You Shilu who led his subordinates to help guard the rear of Luo Jiming's department.

He also had the same thoughts, now that the rebels were at the end of their power, it was just a matter of words to completely deal with them.

Zhang Yangming saw that the rebels still did not move, so he said coldly: "Kill..."

Huang Chongtao was overjoyed when he received the order, and shouted with his sword: "The whole army listens to the order, the archers prepare, the tiger squat cannon prepares, and the arquebus prepares..."

Luo Jiming held a knife in one hand and a gun in the other, and shouted: "Brothers, there is death and no life..."

"There is death and there is no life..."

"Put..."
