Chapter 111: The Decisive Battle
Thirty thousand against four thousand, when the level of weapons and equipment is basically the same, this is indeed a great advantage.
As long as all departments cooperate to squeeze the scope of the Japanese bandits, it can be said that it is very easy.
From the day of the discussion, the plan set began to be implemented, and the Jinling Zhuwei can be said to go hand in hand.
At first, the encirclement was relatively large, and there was a certain gap between the guards, so it was possible for the Japanese to escape.
The cavalry of the Beijing camp came in handy, and they roamed between the various divisions, and attacked the Japanese who wanted to see the needle, so that the encirclement could be firmly closed.
In a total of three days, from a circle of nearly 100 miles, it was reduced to less than 20 miles, which is indeed called the speed of a soldier.
This is due to the tacit cooperation of the guards, for the glory of the family and the current power, they tried all means and schemes, they really achieved shame and courage.
During these three days, there were basically no major battles, but there were also four or five hundred Japanese soldiers killed, and there were basically no casualties on the part of the officers and troops.
Today, the Japanese have been surrounded in the Maoshan area, and their strength has been reduced to about 3,000 people.
The moment of decisive battle has come.
Of course, according to Zhu Jinghong's meaning, it is best to surround it for two more days, and when the grain and grass are exhausted, they will collapse without a fight.
However, the Japanese were not stupid, they would not stay in the mountains stupidly, but decided to take a risk after a day of stalemate.
All the pirates knew that they would surely die after defeat, so they had already given up their lives.
The Japanese made preparations before the war, so they naturally couldn't hide the scouts' eyes, and the news soon spread to Zhu Jinghong.
"The battle of trapped beasts should not be underestimated, you should go to the guards immediately, and you must tie your pockets tightly for me!" Inside the military tent, Zhu Jinghong's tone was serious.
The place where he was was was only four or five miles away from the col where the Japanese were trapped was no more than four or five miles in a straight line, which was already a very close distance.
At this moment, his order was to Wang Quanyi and Kong Jinshan, and they had to come to coordinate with the guards.
In the past three days, Zhu Jinghong took the two of them to walk between the guards and coordinate the close cooperation of the guards.
"Yes!"
"Go ahead!"
Wang Quanyi and the others left the military tent, and then divided their things and left on horseback.
Both of them had solemn expressions, just because they must not lose today's battle, otherwise they will be held accountable.
The crown prince and Zhu Jinghong are the emperor's sons, and the guilt is only a punishment and a confinement, and they can cut off their heads and raid their homes at every turn.
When Wang Quanyi and the others left, Zhu Jinghong himself was not idle, and went straight to the front line with his guards.
The speed of riding a horse was very fast, and the distance of two or three miles was only a few minutes, and Zhu Jinghong came to the garrison of the Jingying Infantry Army.
There were two generals in Jinling this time, the cavalry was led by Qiu Hong, and the infantry was led by Yang Renzhong.
Unlike Qiu Hong, Yang Renzhong was born in a low-level military household, and then he was appointed as an official in the martial arts examination, and he was killed all the way by the sea of corpses and blood.
Therefore, this person has a killing temperament, and ordinary people are easy to be afraid when they see it.
This is also why, Zhu Jingyuan never summoned the generals alone, just because he instinctively rejected these people.
"See the Thirteenth Master!" Yang Renzhong's tone was majestic.
"Get up!"
Following behind Zhu Jinghong, Yang Renzhong said in a deep voice: "Thirteenth Master, this place is dangerous, why do you want to come in person, if you have something, just send someone to spread the word!" ”
didn't answer his words, Zhu Jinghong asked directly: "You must have known about the movements of the Japanese Kou in front!" ”
"I know, these guys are going to break through!"
Walking to the center of the military formation, Zhu Jinghong took the telescope handed by Zhang Lin, stretched it and observed the situation ahead.
"You are facing the Japanese Invaders, the soldiers of the left and right guards are far apart, and the terrain behind you is open, the Japanese Invaders should rush over to them!"
Such a pattern was set at the beginning, in order to let the Japanese invaders break through in the direction of Jingying.
"Exactly!" Yang Renzhong replied.
Zhu Jinghong put away the binoculars, handed it to Zhang Lin, and walked to an artillery not far away.
"Can your soldiers and horses stop it?" 、
There were more than 3,000 people in the siege, and Yang Renzhong's troops were only more than 1,300 people, so it was indeed not easy to win.
Yang Renzhong replied honestly: "As long as all departments cooperate closely, our department will definitely be able to win the battle!" ”
After all, there were a large number of troops stationed nearby, and as long as they attacked when the Japanese broke through, victory was almost a certainty.
"Very good, it's good if you have faith!"
After saying this, Zhu Jinghong turned to face the front of the military formation, looked into the distance and said, "General Yang Shen ......"
"The Ministers Are in ......"
"You crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, you have to seize the opportunity in today's critical battle!"
In the face of Zhu Jinghong's kindness, Yang Renzhong immediately hugged his fists and said: "Thank you Thirteenth Master for mentioning something, the minister must go all out!" ”
Looking back, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "Fight a beautiful battle, I will ask for credit to the saint for you!" ”
He is now more and more adept at these tricks to win people's hearts.
"Thank you, Thirteenth Master!" Yang Renzhong was very excited.
It's no wonder that he can't control his mentality well, he Yang Renzhong is a small general, and he doesn't know how far away from the emperor.
As soon as Zhu Jinghong opened his mouth, he wanted to ask the emperor for him, and it was normal for Yang Renzhong to be excited.
"Thirteenth Master, the Japanese have moved!" Hou Jing reminded in due course.
Zhu Jinghong nodded, and then turned around and walked towards the rear of the military formation, of course he would not fight in person.
At this moment, he came over, in addition to wanting to have a relationship with Yang Renzhong, but mainly wanted to see the battle in Beijing.
These infantry are all equipped with muskets, and there are still thirty artillery pieces in the team, and Zhu Jinghong really wants to see it in hot weapon combat.
Standing on the hillside behind, Zhu Jinghong continued to observe the situation with a telescope, only to see that the Japanese had already lined up and began to advance.
The two sides are almost two miles apart, and it takes at least ten minutes to walk before the two sides meet each other.
But if there are muskets and artillery in the Beijing camp, will it give the Japanese a chance to engage in short-handed combat?
Time passed, and after determining the direction of the Japanese invasion, the soldiers of the various guards also moved, and they also marched in the place of battle.
But the road to the place where they were stationed was not easy to walk, and it would take at least twenty or thirty minutes to arrive, and Yang Renzhong had to hold back the Japanese for so long before reinforcements could rush out to support.
As for why the cavalry was not allowed to go up, it was because the mountain col was narrow, and the cavalry could not be used at all, unless they were used as infantry.
"Thirteenth Master, the Japanese are about to enter the range of artillery!" Lu Yuxin reminded him.
Only because of this moment that the artillerymen have already begun to reload, and someone has begun to adjust the muzzle.
When the pirates reached a distance of five hundred meters, the artillerymen lit the fuse, and thirty cannons made a loud noise at the same time, and the shells flew out at a great speed.
But due to errors, only a dozen of the thirty shells hit, but thirty or forty lives were also taken.
In addition to the killing effect, the artillery also plays a very important role in deterring the enemy and suppressing its morale.
Of course, because of the intention of death, these Japanese formations were not messed up, and the dead were immediately replaced.
They continued on their way, but at a faster pace.
On the side of the Beijing army, the soldiers were immediately busy after the artillery was fired, some adjusted the angle of the muzzle, some cleared the remnants of the breech, and some prepared charges and shells.
It can be seen that these people are skillful, and they must have a lot of contact on weekdays.
"Putting ......"
About a minute later, another artillery salvo was fired, this time slightly better, and dozens of lives were taken.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Our army is waiting for work, and the weapons and equipment are more sophisticated, these gangs of Japanese will be defeated!" ”
So at this moment, he couldn't figure out why the prince could fight the battle to a pulp, this was obviously a situation where he could win by lying down.
"Perhaps...... For a person like Gao Shuyan, it is not a bad thing to continue to stay by his side! Zhu Jinghong muttered in a low voice.
As he pondered, the gunners fired a few more shots, and the pirates were already within a hundred and fifty meters.
At this time, the gunners, who were ready, went to the front line of the artillery position, waiting for the pirates to enter the firing range.
Thanks to the "Minnan Festival Envoy" for the reward of "I can't think of a name".
