Chapter 850: The Eve
"Special! These grandchildren really look up to us.
The target of tens of thousands of people was dispatched to chase after two companies of troops; We only have more than 30 people, and we still have 1,7800 people around. ”
Looking at the Yin army under the mountain, only more than 200 people were dispatched to chase and kill, and the remaining large troops did not attack at all, and still surrounded the posture of the Quartet Fort.
In Hu Biao's mouth, he immediately scolded such a sentence.
It's just that in his expression, there is no indignation at all, and even the whole tone sounds more like ridicule than the kind of scolding in the past.
Indeed, Hu Biao's heart is quite calm now; Because all the reactions of the Yin army were expected by them, and they didn't feel anything strange and angry.
At the same time, there is nothing to worry about about the upcoming battle in Sanyuanli.
In terms of their rich battlefield command experience, in a big battle with a combined scale of 10,000 people on both sides, the number of enemies killed is only in the single digits, and the number of wounded is only in the double digits.
A specific battle process must not be so fierce that it will not be much fiercer.
So what they need to do now is just wait for the rain to happen.
You know, in the previous time, they were ready for everything after the rain.
For example, find a place to place all the usable water tanks, barrels, and large bowls on the mountain; Even after digging a big hole, it was padded with a waterproof tarpaulin.
Just wait for the rain to fall, and use these methods to collect a large amount of rainwater.
Even towels and wild soaphorns are prepared in advance, just waiting for the rain to take a bath from beginning to end to wash away the dirt and sweat smell all over the body.
In the words of Xiaomei, the God of Wealth, her whole person is rancid, she has never been so dirty and smelly in her life, and she must wash it well.
Of course, in the above statement, there is absolutely no contempt for the common people who participated in the battle in Sanshori.
They were able to organize and act spontaneously, risking their lives to start such a battle against the Yin Man and the devil.
Just such a point is already a good embodiment of the indomitable spirit, showing his blood and courage, and he is definitely worthy of Hu Biao's greatest respect.
In terms of results, they are a bit unsatisfactory, but all of them belong to some laymen in terms of modern warfare.
Compared with the Daqing regular army armed with their people's fat and people's ointment, I don't know how bright and excellent the performance is......
In fact, the actual battle situation in Sanyuanli was similar to what Hu Biao and the others expected.
A logistics major in the Yin Army named Beecher died many officers in the previous battles with Hu Biao and others.
This time, he was in charge of the command, leading a total of two companies of soldiers to pursue a group of fleeing civilians.
When they drove the largest group of thousands of people, they chased all the way to the back of the bullpen in Sanyuanli.
Suddenly, the crowd stopped; At first, Major Beecher thought that these malnourished young people were finally unable to run.
Just as he was going to fight rabbits, he killed at least a thousand people according to the orders of Lord Yilu.
Show the strength of the Great Yin Empire, break the backbone of these young people, and make them never able to rebel against the Great Yin.
He was horrified to find that from the hidden places on all sides = more than 10,000 people, a total of 15,600 people, surrounded them from all sides, but more than 200 Yin troops.
When a large number of "* your mother", "冚家shovel", "crazy line", "top your lungs", etc., greeted them with greetings in Cantonese.
Such a momentum and sound, for a while, it was amazing.
Under such a wave, the Yin army was also colorless.
Major Beecher was the same as in the original history, and he was frightened in his heart, and he collapsed with his head held high after a heart attack, or he was scared to death.
It's a pity that the battle scene between the two sides behind is not so heroic.
However, it is understandable, after all, we are just some ordinary people who have taken action on their own.
After Major Beecher received the box lunch, a senior captain and company commander of the Yin Army stood up and immediately took over the command of the battlefield.
He gave a command in his mouth, and in the face of the people rushing over, he immediately fired a round of guns.
Even if there was a wooden shield in his hand to block, seven or eight people were killed and injured on the spot.
For this reason, they did not dare to continue to rush forward, so they could only fire with the long-range weapons such as bows and arrows and bird guns in their hands; Watching the fight lively, there was no actual killing.
On the one hand, the Yin army besieged dozens of times the opponent, and for a while they did not dare to move the formation at all.
I can only stay where I am, hoping that the big battalion in the rear can send more reinforcements to save them after discovering that something is wrong.
So in the following time, the two sides entered a state of stalemate with each other here in Sanyuanli.
This situation lasted until about one o'clock in the afternoon.
The sky was still cloudless, with a bright sun hanging, and without warning, the light suddenly dimmed.
After a short time, the raindrops the size of beans were overwhelming and fell on the ground.
The raindrops hit people's heads and faces, and after hitting the exposed hands and feet, they all made people feel faintly painful; The rain curtain formed made everyone's sight barely see about ten meters away.
Boy! In the summer in eastern Guangdong, the boss has a rainstorm......
******
When this sudden rainstorm fell, there were immediately some completely different reactions in several different areas inside and outside the whole Yangcheng.
In Panlonggang in Yuexiu Mountain, on the Sifang Fort.
With his head held high and his mouth and arms open, Hu Biao let the slightly salty rain pour into his mouth and wash over his body.
After the long-lost coolness was swallowed into his throat, it was so comfortable that he even felt his soul floating up at this moment.
In my ears, there were constant howls of 'ah, ah, ah', and 'it's finally raining'.
It was a number of people from the AT, Old Snake, Cangguan and other teams, shouting and cheering frantically in their mouths; Many people cried excitedly, but no one could see it under the rain.
Don't blame them, the performance is so unbearable now.
Because they never felt that it was such a happy thing to be able to drink water in large gulps and without restrictions, or to drink rain.
When they drank a stomach full of water and felt a little nauseous and nauseous, everyone began to scrub their stinky bodies directly under the rain.
As long as one finger goes down, you can rub a clear trace.
At the same time, the wounds on their bodies that had not yet healed were washed and stimulated by the rain, and some clear pain also rose.
But even so, they still feel that this process is extremely enjoyable.
On top of Panlonggang, it is also full of joyful sounds......
And on the Yin army camp at the bottom of the mountain, when the raindrops of beans fell one after another; A second ago, he was still holding a cup of black tea in his hand, and he was a gentleman George Yilu, the commander-in-chief of the Yin Army.
The next second, after realizing something, the whole person was stupid under the great horror.
I forgot that there was a tent not far away, so I could go in and take shelter from the rain.
Fortunately, his adjutant reacted quickly, and after a while, he held an umbrella and stretched it out on Yilu's head, blocking part of the rainstorm.
But by this time, George Yilu had already been drenched like a chicken in soup.
After a gust of wind blew, and the body temperature suddenly dropped by at least ten degrees, the commander-in-chief of the Yin Army couldn't help but shiver all over his body.
Under such a trembling, Yilu finally reacted and knew that now was not the time to be in a daze.
Immediately stood up as if he had cheated the corpse, and shouted in his mouth to the soldiers of the Yin Army who were hurrying and looking for a place to hide from the rain:
"Damn it, who let you hide from the rain; Immediately put a rainproof rack on the artillery, and the others formed a battle line to prepare for all battles. ”
In such a roar, the officers who reacted also commanded their subordinates to act.
It's just that after seeing all this, George Yilu didn't have a sense of security in his heart.
In the previous time, they relied on the power of their guns to have enough confidence to block all forms of Daqing's schemes and attacks.
But after the rain, especially in the midst of such a heavy rainstorm.
None of their guns were usable, and the Burke front-loading flintlock musket, which accounted for 60% of the muskets, was completely unusable.
The firing method was adopted, the new Brunswick front-loading smoothbore firing pistol.
Although it was able to fire in heavy rain, it was undoubtedly affected considerably.
If there were at least 18,000 green troops in the city, plus those knights with terrifying melee ability on the mountain, they would also rush down the hill together.
In such a melee battle, they have no second possibility but to rout.
If it weren't for the retreat in such a heavy rain, if the opponent would have been defeated by a surprise attack, George Yilu would have issued an order to throw away the cannon and all baggage, and retreat immediately.
Realizing all of the above, he was particularly alarmed......
And the young soldiers in Yangcheng will seize such a rare opportunity?
At the same time, outside the luxurious mansion where Yishan lived in Yangcheng, there were many middle-level and grassroots officials of the Youth Army who were covered in wet rain.
They were kneeling on the bluestone slab behind the gate, letting the rain wash over them.
But in their eyes, there was an unprecedented sparkle and expectation.
All because they are now, waiting for an order, an order to take the initiative to kill.
Because they also know that under the current heavy rain, the musket that can't be fired in the hands of the Yin people is not as good as a burning stick, and it is definitely the best fighter to defeat the Yin army.
It's just that without the orders of Yishan and other adults, they can't take the initiative to lead the troops to attack.
So after the heavy rain fell, many of the officers in the city ran here to ask for battle; As time passed, a total of fifty or sixty officers gathered here.
Among them, the highest official rank was the guerrilla from Sanpin who was beating drums and cheering on the city wall when Hu Biao and others charged that day.
The smallest official rank is just a foreign commissioner like Hu Biao, the general manager of Jiupin.
There are a total of fifty or sixty people, and at this moment, among the bureaucrats of all sizes in Yangcheng, they generally account for about 10% of the share, and they are also the last men whose blood is still completely cold.
But as they waited longer and longer, the fleeting fighters were also being consumed.
They vaguely guessed something, and their fiery hearts began to gradually become cold.
Such a situation, until the door was opened in the sound of 'squeak~', and the rebellious general Yishan took Yang Fang and Longwen and walked out of it.
Yishan, who is a relative of the emperor, said coldly in his mouth:
"Whether you take the initiative or not, this matter is a big matter, you don't have to kneel here now, just go back and wait for the news of the peak."
The voice fell, and the guerrilla, anxious in his heart, opened his mouth and shouted:
"Think twice, this is a rare fighter? As long as I am allowed to fight, we are willing to make a military order, and we will definitely break through the Yin army and return. ”
After hearing this, Yang Fang, who had not spoken, immediately became furious.
scolded on the spot: "Idiot, the situation is complicated now, is it just as simple as defeating the Yin army; What if the traitors on the Quartet took the opportunity to escape, and how could they explain to His Majesty and the imperial court?
Get back to me and stand by, and if anyone goes out to fight privately, he will be punished as a rebel. ”
Hearing such a sentence, in the voice of 'chirp~', the faces full of anger and helplessness had to bow down to Yishan and others, who represented the current Daqing Imperial Power......
At such a time, Hu Biao and the others had already finished washing themselves, a bath that made them lose at least half a pound of weight.
Like boiled prawns, they are scrubbed until the skin is red.
Hu Biao looked in the direction of Yangcheng through the already small rain curtain.
When he saw that there was still no movement in Yangcheng now, even if he had already been mentally prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but sigh a long sigh.
You must know that in their 'Plan A', it is assumed that the green army will take advantage of the heavy rain to kill.
Even if they dislike Daqing very much, they still plan to temporarily put down the gap and unite with the outside world, cooperate with them to kill them from the mountain, and give the Yin army a front and back attack.
In this way, even if the Yin army still has some muskets to use, it will still suffer a crushing defeat.
It's just that everything in front of them shows that they think too much, or Daqing's concept of 'preferring outsiders to domestic slaves' has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
Finally, after a long sigh, Hu Biao shouted out of his mouth:
"Brothers, implement Plan B, let's ...... ourselves"
*****
As for the Niulangang in Sanyuanli, when the people found that the Yin army using muskets had sharp foreign guns in their hands,
The people, who had been confronting the Yin army, launched an attack in the face of heavy rain.
Facing the bayonet formation formed by the Yin army, they had to grow a spear in their hands, which was too cheap to occupy in such a battle.
In a very short period of time, the Yin army was stabbed several people.
Seeing this, the captain of the Yin Army who came up to command him no longer dared to stay where he was.
Commanding a group of Yin troops, while trying to maintain the bayonet formation, he began to slowly and forcibly retreat in the direction of his own camp.
They struggled to retreat on muddy field paths after heavy rains, and their morale was extremely low.
There is about the same as in history.
Unlike in history, because the big camp was in great danger there.
So in this battle, there were not two companies equipped with Brunswick front-loading smoothbore muskets, which could still shoot muskets in the rain.
Successfully rescued them from the heavy encirclement.
So in the process of retreating, the Yin army suffered a lot of casualties here in Sanyuanli.
In the end, on the way to the evacuation, they left behind fifty or sixty corpses; Even after reluctantly retreating from the battalion, almost every person was wounded.
The fear on their faces began to spread like a plague in the Yin army camp.
And such a brilliant battle, which was almost ten times more than the original history, naturally made the morale of the people participating in the war more and more high.
When the news of the victory began to spread to the surrounding districts at an incredible speed, more ripple effects continued to develop......
It's night! A bright moon hung high in the sky.
In Panyu, Huacheng, Zengcheng, Conghua and other areas around Yangcheng, a large number of militia groups carrying earthen cannons and bird guns, or people holding farm tools and firewood knives.
stepped on a bright moonlight and rushed to the foot of Yuexiu Mountain outside Yangcheng.
Many local handicraftsmen and farmers in Yangcheng are naturally like clouds.
Even some women and children are also involved, they are too weak to fight foreign devils, but they are not weak in delivering water and food.
In the past few days, the Yin Army, which has exposed the nature of the robbers, has aroused the anger of these old people.
When they realized that as long as they united, these Yin troops who could fight the big green and embarrassed were like this, they began to take action.
There is only one thought in my heart, surround these damn yin people and foreign devils, starve to death and die of thirst.
It should be noted that on the eve of this volcano about to erupt, Hu Biao and the others did nothing except heal and rest after eating and drinking.
Including letting Lao Hei, Cangguan, Lao Snake, War Elephant and others use fire guns and bows and arrows to sneak attack the Yin Army, so that they have no way to rest well tonight.
Such an attack plan was also not carried out.
The reason for this is according to the content of 'Plan B'.
They have to be in the best shape possible after dawn.
But even so, everyone in the Yin Army camp still failed to live a relaxed and peaceful night as before.
Although by more than three o'clock in the afternoon, the rainstorm had completely stopped.
After some urgent wiping and roasting, the guns in their hands were able to continue to be used; This just made them feel a little more at ease.
Everything they encountered during the day finally made them realize one thing clearly:
They face the people, not the third brothers they are familiar with; The biggest resistance is just sitting, which can't hurt them at all.
Instead, they gathered like drops of water, forming a terrifying torrent that could completely crush them.
In such a quiet, but dark night, they were like those little beasts before the rainstorm, and their hearts were full of fear and uneasiness.
Obviously, outside the big camp, there is no opponent personnel.
But they always felt that there were countless pairs of hateful eyes staring at them, ready to rush up and tear them apart, and there was no way to fall asleep......
