Chapter 423: Artillery Position II

Li Suyan pulled the bolt of the gun, knelt down on one knee and raised the gun to aim, firing the first shot.

A Qing cavalry who rushed in front of him was in the middle, and when he raised his head, he fell off his horse and was trampled by the war horse behind him.

Then the gunfire rang out, and when Su Meiha rushed to the front of Li Suyan's Ming army with people less than ten paces away, there were less than 50 of the more than 200 people under his command.

"On the bayonet ..."

With a sharp shout, the bayonet shining in the sun stabbed at the neck of Sumeha's war horse, and the painful war horse rose up, causing the defenseless Sumeha to fall from the war horse, and then seven or eight bayonets stabbed into Sumeha's body in unison.

Li Suyan shouted: "Press up, rush..."

Huang Degong was anxiously waiting for Li Suyan's news, the battle on the frontal battlefield was already intractable at the moment, but after observing from the clairvoyant mirror, he still understood that his side had the upper hand with the power of the rifle and the training advantage of the soldiers, and the Qing army was forced to hide behind the car formation to avoid the flying bullets, although there were still throwing weapons such as arrows and throwing guns behind their car formation, but at this moment the significance was not too great.

Chirp...

A sharp whistle sounded, and then Huang Degong saw a green signal flare rising in the sky in the distance, which was still a little dazzling in the daytime.

"Good..."

As soon as the applause fell, Huang Degong clearly felt the tremor of the earth, followed by a violent explosion a few miles away in the distance.

"Send someone to answer, quick..."

Chen Cao waited for news from all walks of life in the camp, and after noon, the messenger hurriedly ran into the camp.

"Your Majesty, Li Suyan, the commander of the 33rd Regiment of the 11th Brigade of the 4th Division, personally led a battalion of soldiers to raid the Qing army's artillery positions outside Xuzhou, and he has already succeeded, destroying hundreds of artillery pieces of various types."

Chen Cao nodded: "No wonder the sound of artillery before noon suddenly stopped, I still wondered, it turns out that Huang Degong's men still have capable people." ”

"Although it was successful, the 33rd Regiment was almost wiped out after the sneak attack from the beginning of the war, if it wasn't for Division Commander Huang to answer it in person, Commander Li himself might not have been able to come back."

Chen Cao looked at Huang Chunyao and said: "This Huang Degong is bold, and it is good, although he did not take all the artillery of the Qing army, but I believe that even the artillery position outside the city is at least half of Abatai's artillery, in this way, our casualties have been reduced a lot, meritorious, you go back and tell Huang Degong, he will discuss the matter of the proposed merit himself, and submit it to me for me to see." ”

Huang Chunyao arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the destruction of the artillery positions of the Qing army will inevitably be a big blow to its morale, and our army can take this opportunity to strike first." ”

"That's what I thought, too."

Jierharang also never imagined that the artillery position so close to Xuzhou City could be attacked by the Ming army, and even the escort cavalry including Sumeha was wiped out, Sunan ran very fast, although he lost his position, but fortunately, he still brought back a lot of artillerymen, these are precious people, and he can be regarded as meritorious service if he can be saved, plus Sunan's surname is Guarjia, and this identity can also protect him from death.

"Lord Wang, the slave should die."

Although Zilharang is young, he has experienced a lot of battles, and he can be regarded as experienced: "Sunan, you really deserve to die, if it wasn't for Sumeha blocking your gun in front, you wouldn't have had a chance to come to me and say that you deserve to die." ”

Hearing this, Sunan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said with his head pestle: "Slave Xie Wangye." ”

"Get out of here, immediately check the stock of shells and gunpowder, the Ming army will soon launch an attack."

"Tsk..."

Sun Degong obviously felt the pressure of the frontal battlefield, and the soldiers under his command began to gradually appear reflexively fleeing back, which was not a good sign for him: "Come on, let Youguang lead people to attack from the left flank of the Ming army, and also, the pro-army team was immediately sent out, and then found that those who did not obey the order to retreat were immediately killed." ”

As soon as Sun Degong finished speaking, Abatai strode into his big tent, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly saluted: "The last general will see the prince." ”

After Abatai stood still, he said coldly: "This king gave you 30,000 people, and you were able to give the Ming army an opportunity to blow up our army's artillery position." ”

Sun Degong was covered in cold sweat, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general never expected that the Ming army would do such a thing, their attack on the front was not weak, and the last general's defense was very difficult. ”

"Hmph..."Abatai snorted coldly: "Sun Degong, this king will give you another 10,000 people, if you can't delay it before noon tomorrow, this king will have to march the law." ”

Sun Degong's body trembled, and then hurriedly clenched his fists: "The last general will definitely not disappoint the prince." ”

Abatai didn't reply before leaving: "If the people of the Han Army Banner run too much, this king will ask you." ”

"Shoot... Shoot it... Bastard thing..."

Sun Youguang launched an attack from the flank, but he was surprised to find that the car formation that he had lost on his side had actually turned into a cover for the Ming army, and a fierce battle broke out between the two sides, and the musket bullets roared towards each other, and the fire was everywhere.

In the evening, the offensive of the Ming army on the opposite side became more and more intense, and all kinds of explosives exploded on their side.

Sun Youguang suddenly felt bad in his heart, so he ordered his relatives to immediately ask for cavalry support, who knew that in less than half a moment, the soldiers returned to report that their cavalry was entangled with the Ming cavalry on the edge of the battlefield a few miles away, and they couldn't come, and even received a request from their father not to let them quit.

"How to fight this battle, you can't win it..."

Sun Youguang said decadently, and the guerrillas beside him said: "My lord, it's not a way to fight like this, the Ming army obviously wants to fight at night, once it gets night, we can only passively defend, the battlefield has been pulled from the first three miles to the current ten miles, and the last general thinks that if you fight like this from the central battlefield, maybe it will be a battlefield within thirty miles, and there are still seven or eight thousand people on our side, but the morale is not as good as when the war just started in the morning." ”

Sun Youguang frowned: "Withdraw? ”

"The military gate ordered that no retreat be allowed, general, I'm afraid it's a death order from the county king."

Sun Youguang was shocked, and then remembered Abatai's plan, Prince Su's team was on the way to come, thinking of the previous order that made him not allowed to retreat, and immediately reacted: "We are all bait, broken..."

The guerrilla also reacted, and then said: "General, the last general suggested digging a trench immediately, and how long can it be blocked." ”

"Yes, yes, yes..."Sun Youguang was a little out of his mind, and nodded again and again: "Quick, let people move, we are bait, bait to lure the Ming army into being fooled." ”
