Chapter 283: Sudden Heavy Rain
"Therefore, in this battle, it is necessary to use strategy to pull the British army out of the four-sided battery position, and then destroy it.
First of all, Master Xuanzheng led 200 soldiers and thousands of villagers to the Sifang Fort to make a feint.
When the British army came out to fight, they did not fight hard, turned around and retreated, and reached the hilly area near Niulangang in Sanyuanli.
I will lead the rest of the main force to ambush near the bullpen post, and wait until the main force of the British army has passed, and cut off the retreat of the British army.
After that, we can attack from both sides and wipe out the British headquarters that we are chasing. After that, we can confront the British again, and we will be able to gain the initiative on the battlefield. Li Xian studied the terrain and felt that the hills near Niulangang in Sanyuanli were undulating and the terrain was relatively complex, so he took this place as the main location for the ambush.
Several of you here have experienced many battles during this period of time and have some military experience, so they discussed together how to implement this plan.
Li Xian has always advocated the speed of soldiers, and after the discussion was properly discussed, the next day Xuanzheng began to organize the villagers to march to the Yongkang Fort, that is, the Sifang Fort.
Li Xian's strategic plan was implemented smoothly at the beginning.
Sanyuanguan has been operating in the vicinity of Sanyuanli for hundreds of years, and Xuanzheng's prestige among the local villagers is also extremely high, and the villagers are happy to obey Xuanzheng's command.
After arriving near the Yongkang Fort, Xuan Zheng instructed the villagers to beat gongs and drums, waving flags, and making the illusion of deciding to attack the Sifang Fort.
The British defenders of the fort were startled when they saw thousands of villagers rushing over, and waited under the command of the British commander, Ugu.
However, the commander of the British army, Ugu, who was experienced in warfare, soon saw that the thousands of men and horses in front of him were just untrained peasants with little combat effectiveness, so he led 700 soldiers to kill them from the forts of the four sides and drive the villagers.
According to the plan discussed in advance, Xuan Zheng led two hundred soldiers to the palace, and the main force of the villagers began to retreat to the area of Niulangang in Sanyuanli.
Seeing that the Chinese villagers retreated so easily, Wugu was even more firm in his original judgment, believing that the group of people in front of him was just a rabble, and no matter how many they were, there was no threat, so he led 700 soldiers and horses to chase them down.
When they reached the vicinity of Niulangang, the British army entered the ambush circle, and Xuan Zheng stopped here, set up a camp and waited for a decisive battle.
At this time, as soon as the trumpets sounded, tens of thousands of peasants who had been lying in ambush around appeared, waving their flags and shouting.
Then Li Xian also appeared from the back road, firmly held the way of the British army, pushed out the artillery and rocket artillery, and made a posture of annihilating the British army in front of him.
It was only at this time that Ugu was really surprised, and understood that he had fallen into the enemy's plan to lure the enemy, but he was conceited that the British army was well-trained, and he still wanted to command the army to fight his way out of the encirclement, and he had no intention of giving up the battle.
Li Xian was a little complacent at this time, feeling that as long as the artillery and rocket artillery on this side were powerful, they could break up the formation of the British army, and when the time came, the soldiers under his command would attack, coupled with the encirclement of the villagers, they would definitely be able to easily eliminate this British army, and when he raised his hand, he was about to give the order to shoot, and felt that something cold fell into his hand, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help exclaiming: "The blue sky and the white sun, what is this?"
It turned out that the people present were attracted by the atmosphere of the battlefield, and they didn't pay attention to the weather, but they didn't expect a large black cloud to come, and the black pressure pressed up, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily.
Sure enough, from the first drop of rain, in less than ten seconds, the rain turned into a downpour, pouring down from above, watering all the people below who were caught off guard.
However, this is still secondary, and the most important thing is that the cannons and muskets were soaked with rain, and the gunpowder also got into the water, and more than ninety percent of the weapons could not be fired.
"God help me, rush back out. Seeing this, Wugu was overjoyed, and ordered the soldiers to load their bayonets, rush back and forth, and rush straight to Li Xian's side.
It turned out that Ugu came in a hurry, and he came lightly, putting heavy things such as artillery in the quadrangular batteries.
Seeing that there were not many troops on Li Xian's side just now, but more than a dozen artillery pieces and rocket artillery were withdrawn, and it seemed that they were all military artillery, not common commercial weapons, Wugu was a little desperate in his heart, but he didn't expect such a heavy rain.
In this way, although the British army could not use firearms, but the other side could not use artillery, Ugu felt that he still made his own money, and he still made a lot of money.
Seeing the British army rushing over with bayonets, looking menacing, Li Xian couldn't help but sneer.
"Do you really think that we are the kind of soft-footed shrimp of officers and soldiers, and we can't fight with bayonets.
The order was given, and everyone loaded their bayonets and had a decisive battle with the British army. Li Xian decisively ordered, and the coalition of guards and warriors around him immediately raised their bayonets.
Originally, the coalition forces had advantages such as artillery and grenades, and all the weapons they used were rifled guns, which were much better than the smoothbore guns of the British army, but at this time, they could only give up this advantage and fight hand-to-hand with the British army.
The first large-scale battle between the British and Li Xian's army was fought in this way, and under God's deliberate arrangement, no one could use firearms, and could only use the most primitive cold weapons to prove their strength.
Li Xian stood at the forefront of his own ranks, holding a Nirvana shield in his left hand and a jungle knife in his right hand, and waited until he approached the British army before rushing out with the first column of soldiers.
There is a clear difference between the British army and Li Xian's army, the British army is a water spear and bayonet, Li Xian's side is the first column of warriors with shields, and the second column is muskets and bayonets.
A British soldier stabbed at him with a spear, Li Xian waved it with his shield, thinking that he could use his powerful strength to beat the other party into a rolling gourd, but he didn't expect this British soldier to be extremely strong, so he just took a step back, and then rushed up again.
Li Xian continued to rush over, entangled with several British soldiers, and for a while he couldn't tell the winner.
Li Xian was secretly surprised in his heart, and when he looked carefully, he saw that the bodies of several British soldiers besieging him had swelled up, grown bigger, and even had longer hair and protruding noses, like wolves.
"Damn, there are werewolves in the British army!" Li Xian was really taken aback at this time.
It turns out that in addition to the vampires and other necromantic creatures in Europe, there are also many other special races, such as werewolves and berserker warriors, etc., who are no different from normal people in peacetime, and will transform in the event of war, and their strength and reflexes are increased several times, which is a very powerful type of troops.
Wugu has a very high status in the British army, and the proportion of this special combat race in the personal guards under his command is very high, and he took these personal guards with him in this pursuit of Xuan Zheng and others.
This is also where Wugu dares to lead 700 people to attack thousands of troops.
