Chapter Ninety-Four: Too Much Deception!
From behind the Qing army's pile defense line, the surprise attack was the Ming army's Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi.
After breaking through the Qing general's defense line on the sea, the remnants of the Ming army on the western front protruding from Wushan went straight to the stele pavilion on the western front of the Hushuai base under the command of Yuan and Hao.
On the way, they encountered two battalions attacked by Yu who had never participated in the battle, and due to heavy rain, the Qing army could not give full play to the advantage of firearms, and were repelled by the brave and desperate Ming army.
The Ming army did not pursue the Qing army, and took advantage of the situation to expand the results of the battle, but only dispersed the rout, ensuring that they could not go to the eastern front to report the news.
During the military discussion on the way, because the Qing army had a second line of defense on the periphery of Beiting Village, and the main general Mu Shenghui was also a fierce general, the two old marshals Yuan and Hao took the initiative to ask them to fight Mu Shenghui.
In view of the large number of casualties in the department, if there was another bad battle, there would not even be seeds, Wang Wu did not refuse the kindness of the two old commanders, and was willing to lead two battalions of soldiers to support the whole army.
In order to ensure that they could break through Mu Shenghui's defense line in one fell swoop, the two old marshals Yuan and Hao asked Wang Wu in detail how to restrain the Qing army's firearms.
Wang Wu directly led the two old commanders to see his "earthen tank", and ordered people to shoot in turn with firearms, so that the two old commanders could feel the power of "knowledge" more intuitively.
The two old commanders who were amazed immediately ordered that all the dozens of carriages carried by the generals be converted into "earthen tanks".
Wang Wu didn't feel safe.
The Qing prisoners captured before confessed that the green battalion of the second line of defense was equipped with a large number of artillery, so it was very likely that the Qing army in the second line of defense would be severely attacked by the Qing artillery.
If the shield car could not successfully approach the Qing army's defense line, it would not be able to destroy the Qing army's piles.
The piles can't be broken, and the remnants of less than 10,000 people are alive and being caught between the Eastern and Western Qing armies.
It's better to die in real life.
The most effective way to deal with artillery is artillery.
But the Ming army didn't even have a small cannon, so take the head to top other people's shells!
And all the people were troubled.
Liu Heng, the prince of Anhui who took the initiative to give up the right to send troops, proposed a solution, that is, there was a lot of gunpowder seized from the military village in the sea, so it was better to put all this gunpowder on the carriage and then drive the carriage to rush to the Qing army's defense line.
Even if the power generated by such an explosion could not blast through the Qing army's defense line at once, it could still blow up a hole in the Qing army's pile defense line, thus saving the Ming army's difficulty and time in operation.
Supplemented by the "earth tank" to block the gun, the dead soldier was selected to wear armor and hold a wooden board to climb the wooden stake and fight hand-to-hand with the Qing army, as long as it can cause chaos in the Qing army on the inside of the pile, so that the Qing army can not effectively shoot and kill the Ming army that destroys the pile, there is a seventy percent chance to open the gap.
This method is actually a copy of Wang Wu's deal with Huguang Green Camp Niu Wancheng.
The difference is that this time the Ming army had far more gunpowder than that time.
It is more than 3,000 catties.
Properly used, no less than dozens of cannons fired at the row of piles at the same time.
The method of blasting is also Liu Tichun's best method, and Liu Heng is also a family heirloom.
Yuan and Hao, two veteran commanders who had been using soldiers for many years, understood as soon as they heard it, and they all agreed to do it according to this method.
It's just a pity.
The Ming army was far inferior to the Qing army in firepower because of the extreme lack of medicine, and now it was difficult to capture 3,000 catties of gunpowder, but it had to be used to blow up the Qing army's pile defense line at one time, which was really painful.
However, compared with the whole army going to meet with the tiger marshal, don't say that 3,000 catties of gunpowder is worth 30,000 catties!
Liu Heng, the tiger father and no dog, personally handled the blasting matters.
In order to maximize the power of the gunpowder explosion, Liu Heng asked the soldiers of the rear battalion to make a few boxes urgently, and then packed the gunpowder into the box and sealed it, leaving only a fire rope outside.
Wang Wu had been watching from the sidelines, and finally came to the conclusion that the wisdom of the peasant rebels was passed down in one line.
The use of gunpowder by the Chinese has actually gone far, but unfortunately this process has been interrupted by the times.
After letting Ma Changyuan lead the rest of the left battalion to cooperate with Yuan and Hao, Wang Wu led the remaining officers and soldiers of the front battalion and the left battalion to the rear.
Hao Shaoqi was very worried that the Qing army in Shaanxi behind him would catch up, but there was no trace of the Qing army that had come from the old road of Laomugang two days ago.
I don't know if I was frightened by Yu Haihai's death and didn't dare to chase it, or if I was waiting for reinforcements.
Before leaving, Hao Shaoqi deliberately found Wang Wu and repeatedly told the Qing army to chase the soldiers up, don't fight with them, just delay.
Once the front is broken, immediately lead the troops to stand out.
Wang Wu agreed.
But I don't think the Qing army will come up.
It is almost certain that the Qing army following behind is Lao Niu.
After the two old marshals Yuan and Hao led the team to set off, I don't know whether it was a bad taste or a kind reminder, Wang Wu asked people to find a wooden card, and found some ink and wrote a few big words on it - "Attention, there is an ambush ahead!" ”
Someone was ordered to insert the wooden sign directly in the middle of the road.
After waiting for a long time with his subordinates and still not seeing Lao Niu come up, Wang Wu felt that the time was almost up, and he didn't bother to care whether Lao Niu came or not, so he directly led his troops to the east.
In less than an hour, more than a dozen green battalion soldiers carrying firearms leaned out of the mountain road in the distance, nervously walking forward, while holding firecrackers and looking at the hillsides on both sides.
It seems that he is worried about the ambush.
Until you find a wooden sign in the middle of the road.
Soon, the old cow came.
"Huh?"
Looking at the wooden card and looking at it, the old cow was angry and didn't fight in one place, and pulled out the knife and cut the wooden card into two pieces with a "clang".
"Too much deception, too much deception!"
The old cow's face is green.
What do you mean by attention?
What does it mean that there is an ambush ahead!
This is not coming at him, Niu Wancheng, but at whom!
If this was written for others to see, he Niu Wancheng would be killed directly by his head!
"My lord, this shows that Wang Wu is bluffing us."
Du Si Qi Yikui took the wooden card that was split in half by the lieutenant general in his hand, and suggested that the lieutenant general Mo Li would move forward boldly.
The reason is very simple, the Ming army is in a hurry to jump out of the encirclement of Wushan and go to Li Laiheng, so how can there be kung fu to ambush them.
"If you think like this, you'll fall for that kid's trick, and people have prejudged your prejudgment!"
Lao Niu was sure that Wang Wu's kid might really set up an ambush for him in front.
But he couldn't figure out why this kid wanted to fight his ambush, could it be that the friendship boat between the two sides capsized?
At least from this moment on, he Niu Wancheng came with a good heart.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
"The dog bites Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people! It's not that Lao Tzu dragged it for you, and people stabbed you in the ass! ”
Niu Wancheng said "people" refers to the Sichuan Green Camp that has rushed to the Yellow Lawn.
If it weren't for his deputy general Niu to "chase" in front, Cheng Tingjun, the chief soldier of Chongkui Town, who was worried about the relationship between the two provinces and had not received an order, would have led his troops to chase after him.
After scolding, Lao Niu ordered to camp on the spot.
He won't be fooled.
Although he couldn't figure out what else in himself could be worth thinking about Wang Wu, that bastard.
In short, caution is better.
