Chapter 421: Bait II

"The battle situation in the forward position is extremely fierce, the defensive wall composed of the Tartar Wugang and the Tartar is gradually advancing, and the 33rd Regiment is struggling to defend..."

"Does the chief of staff think that the Tiger Squat Artillery will be mobilized to enter the forward positions of the 33rd Regiment ..."

"In addition, the cavalry of the Tartars are all hiding behind the car formation and throwing arrows and throwing guns, and the casualties on the front are quite large, and the deputy division commander has mobilized the 32nd Regiment to fight with the 33rd Regiment..."

A series of reports made Huang Degong's brain a little swollen, it was obvious that the tactical tactics of the Tartars were no longer the reckless tactics before entering the customs, and they alternately covered the attack with the cooperation of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles and the Armored Vehicles, which was exactly the same as the new tactics he taught when he was studying in Huangpu.

"Report..."The herald walked into the command post: "Divisional seat, forward position report, a large number of Tartar cavalry appeared on the left flank of our department. ”

Huang Degong stood up suddenly, and couldn't sit still anymore: "Order, the whole division immediately entered the combat position and distributed all the firearms." ”

Sun Youguang led 20,000 Manchu and Han cavalry to attack the left flank of the 4th Division according to the battle plan, but he obviously found that the attack in front of him was very smooth under the cover of the Wuhan Iron and Steel Vehicles and the Qiangcha.

"General Sun, our left flank has found the cavalry of the Ming army."

It was none other than Zu Dashou, Chen Cao ordered him to tour the battlefield, as a deterrent, and before Huang Degong could react, he came with 10,000 cavalry from his headquarters.

From the first part of the battle to the last cavalry charge, the left flank of the 4th Division has become a huge cavalry battlefield, dusty and almost invisible.

Huang Degong personally arrived in front of the formation, and really watched the cavalry in front of the left fighting, but his own side could not effectively give corresponding support to the cavalry.

"Master, the Tartar cart formation is coming up again."

Huang Degong put down the clairvoyant mirror and roared angrily: "Extend the artillery, put the tiger squat cannon in front of the formation, and bombard it." ”

After receiving the support of the tiger squat artillery, Li Suyan's confidence was greatly shaken, and he was ready to resolutely implement the division's 'bombardment' tactics.

"Throwing guns..."

"Be careful..."

"Fire..."

"Fire..."

Knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock...

The scattering power of the Tiger Squat Cannon was greatly strengthened after the improvement of gunpowder, but then it was necessary to cool it with water after each shot, otherwise it would inevitably explode.

And the resulting recoil is not low.

The fierce tiger squat cannon made the Qing army behind the car formation never expect to have such great power, and the Wuhan Iron and Steel car within fifty steps was also bombarded, so it really effectively stopped the car formation from continuing to advance.

"Shoot..."

'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...'

"Ahh

"Help me..."

"My legs... My legs..."

"Mother..."

"I... No... Die..."

The herald hurriedly ran into Chen Cao's big tent and said rightly: "Report to Your Majesty, the 4th Division is in a bitter battle, the cavalry of the Qing army has launched a large-scale attack, and the 3rd Cavalry Division of Zu Dashou's department is blocking the enemy. ”

Chen Cao looked at the map, and then said: "Move Yan Chun's headquarters to Huang Degong's right flank, extend the military artillery to the front, and don't care about the stock of artillery shells." ”

"Emperor..."Zhao Xin quickly ran into the big tent: "Good news, the first part of the Shenwu Army has arrived in Shuanggou and is rushing to the battlefield." ”

Chen Cao's confidence was shocked: "Okay, no matter who comes, let them go directly back to Xuzhou City from the side of Yunlong Mountain, how to fight, let the leader decide for himself." ”

"Report, Emperor Qi, Yunlongshan came to report to the 10th Division, they were attacked by the Qing army."

Chen Cao immediately looked down at the map, and then asked: "Zhao Wenhui and they have not heard from Xiao County, and the distance from the battlefield is only thirty miles, so immediately send someone to ask, you go back and tell Cao Wenzhao, let them hold Yunlong Mountain at all costs." ”

Huang Chunyao recovered well, he had just received the news, and hurriedly walked into the big tent: "Your Majesty, the minister is worried that the Dangshan defense line will be lost. ”

Chen Cao also has this bad idea, once Liu Butang misses, it means that hundreds of thousands of horses in Haoge in Guide Mansion can drive straight into the Xuzhou Plain, then according to the intelligence, there will be no less than 100,000 cavalry in Haoge's department, which is not a small number, once these 100,000 cavalry enter Xuzhou to participate in the war, it will be a big blow to the Dingwu army, and it can fundamentally affect the existence of the entire war situation.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is important to strengthen the defense of Xiao County first and ensure the safety of the left flank of our army, and then transfer part of the troops of Yunlongshan to come back to help, and temporarily engage the Qing army in the case that the Shenwu army has not fully arrived, and contain the main force of Abatai, if Haoge's department has not fully entered Xuzhou, we can also mobilize Lou Xingye's troops to act together, first eat all of Sun Degong's troops, and defeat Xuzhou."

I have to say that Huang Chunyao's strategy is very constructive, and from the perspective of protecting himself, he can further explore the opponent's movements.

After listening to this, Chen Cao nodded and agreed: "I can only do this in front of me, and it is still unknown what means Abatai has." ”

.

The stalemate in the battle was completely unexpected by Huang Degong, but now both sides are fighting for the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car and the Wuhan Iron and Steel Car in front of them.

In the case that the car formation was completely stopped by the tiger squat artillery attack, the Qing army infantry behind them relying on the car formation as a cover could only resist the firepower of the 33rd regiment, and the bullets shuttled in the car formation like raindrops.

This dealt a big blow to the morale of the Qing army in the follow-up attack.

"Rush..."

The regiment commander Li Suyan personally led the team to launch a charge, shuttling back and forth between the car formations, shooting one shot after another, and finally, the Qing troops behind them could not bear the pressure of the muskets, and because of the extension of the artillery fire, the position of the artillery explosion extended from the middle battlefield at the beginning to the rear of the Qing army, causing a lot of casualties to the Qing troops who wanted to use the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles to advance.

However, the artillery of the Qing army was also very sharp, and the 32nd Regiment, which rushed to support the 33rd Regiment in front of the forward position, was hit fiercely, and the casualties were more than 400 people in an instant, which was particularly heavy.

If it weren't for Li Suyan leading the team to defeat the frontal enemy, so that the retreating Qing army hindered the movement of the artillery, this allowed the 32nd Regiment to disperse, otherwise the casualties would have been greater.

"Regimental seat, the reconnaissance squad returns, the artillery position of the Tartars is in a hollow in front of us on the right, and there is a forest around it as cover..."
