Chapter 211 Before the general attack

Ren Zhankui's horse was shocked. He was quick-eyed and his hands. He immediately strangled the horse's head and clamped the horse's abdomen. The horse hiss twice. Suddenly, his front hoof knelt down and fell to the ground. Ren Zhankui jumped up suddenly, so that his leg was not unfortunately broken by the horse.

At this moment, the horse was already sad. He looked down and saw that there was a small hole in the front abdomen of the horse, and blood was constantly flowing out.

If the horse hadn't been shocked and stood up just now, I'm afraid that the one who fell to the ground and bled now was herself. Ren Zhankui had a cold war. What kind of fire is it? Is it so powerful? This is 300 steps away!

Some soldiers around him were not so lucky. When a rain of bullets came down, more than 20 soldiers fell to the ground. Some of them rolled around in pain, and some of them were out of breath.

Ren Zhankui's blood flowed. However, he hasn't reacted yet. The person who attacked him later has already rode away!

The guards ran to the back of the team and saw only a few fallen horses, more than 20 injured and killed bodies, and the rest of the frightened soldiers.

When asked about the situation, he also felt that it was ironic. Isn't it too strange? Behind them came a team of cavalry who didn't know their way. A few hundred steps away, they shot with fire, killed a few people, injured a group of them, and then ran away? What do they want to do?

"Your Excellency, the back team was attacked and injured a group of people." The guards ran back to the side of the timid and reported with the timid.

Attacked? It's a little strange to be timid. He is still in the boundary of Taizhou. How could he be attacked? Who is so bold to attack his own team of 10,000 people?

"Who did it?"

"I don't know. I only know that the other party's weapons are all fire, and the range seems to be very long. I heard them say that the distance is at least 300 steps. As soon as the other party's firearm rings, they were shot and fell off the horse." The guard said.

Lie about the military situation! Obviously, they were afraid of being punished and attacked by fire 300 steps away? Are you still injured? I don't believe it. In the military weapons bureau of Taizhou, there are the latest firearms of the imperial court, with a range of only more than 100 steps. Moreover, the accuracy is not high. In addition, the manufacturing is complicated, that is, a few reserves. So far, they have not been equipped in the team.

"Let the rear team be more vigilant, and we will continue to march." He was timid and firmly believed that it must be that the new attached troops in the back team were wary of the surname difference, so they were taken advantage of by others.

Cooking, it took two steps, followed by another sound of fire.

The ghost is not scattered! I'm not angry.

"Send the order, let Mu Ge take a hundred-man team, catch up with the group of annoying guys behind, and kill them all!"

"Yes, my lord."

After a while, a small torrent was separated from the people of the brigade and rushed to the back team aggressively.

Shi Wenshang felt that his current behavior was a little like a fight between two children. He pushed each other first. He didn't respond, and then pushed the other party, but he still didn't respond. He pushed again. The other party was furry and he was about to sway over when he raised his fist.

After leaving quickly just now, Shi Wenshan found that the other party was dumbfounded by his own attack and did not react at all.

In that case, let's play again.

He led the team forward again, but this time, the people from the back team rushed up fiercely.

Ren Zhankui was angry. He was a 100-man team and lost more than 20 people for no reason. They were all careless just now. Now he knows that the other party's intention is not good, so he naturally wants to get face back. Before the other party approaches, he left 30 people to guard the food and grass, and the other 50 people. Riding a horse, he rushed up.

It's just right, kill them all! Shi Wenbing made up his mind.

"Prepare, shoot!"

The scene of ninety fireshots and volleys is also very spectacular. After a round, the other party only approached more than 20 steps, and more than a dozen people fell down. They did not panic and continued to load, shoot, then load and shoot.

After shooting five times, only the ownerless horses were left, and the rest of the people were lying in the place where they had just charged, more than a hundred steps away from Shi Wenbing.

It can be imagined that if there is enough sky, no matter how many tars are not afraid! Shi Wenbing is very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of his 100-man team.

In the distance, another team of people came. Looking at the costumes, they were all all tantar soldiers.

"Captain, let's continue!"

"No, evacuate quickly!" Shi Wenbing said.

The small victory just now did not make Shi Wenbing's mind hot. The new attached army, which was not strong in combat effectiveness just now, and there were only a few dozen people, so I was sure that I could kill them all before the other party was close to me. Now it is the brave and good Tattar soldiers. Moreover, it seems that there are still a large number of people. The secret given to him is that the eldest brother is to fight if he can beat it. If he can't fight, he can run away and protect it. Only by yourself can you fight the enemy.

Therefore, Shi Wenbing decisively withdrew from the battle.

Mage led the team forward, but only saw corpses all over the ground. Those unlucky people were not dead. As a result, after falling off the horse, they were repeatedly trampled by the horse and could not die again. This is also the sadness of the cavalry. On the horse, it is a warrior galloping. Under the horse, it is a fragile ant.

"Chase!" Looking at the dust in the distance, it was a trace of the other horse running.

In the territory of Taizhou, they are the only ones who bully others. When is it their turn to be bullied by others?

There was anger in the eyes of the cavalry.

The short-trained riders are indeed different from the people who have grown on horseback since childhood. The tar cavalry is getting closer and closer to the small cavalry in front of them.

"Captain, what should I do?" A soldier asked.

"Prepare a grenade." Shi Wenshan said.

It is not easy to take out a grenade on a flying horse. Moreover, it is a test of the soldier's horse control skills by igning the twist of the grenade.

There were only four or five cavalrymen, who were on the twist.

"Throw it in the back, as far as you can, as far as you can, quickly!" Shi Wenshan shouted.

Now the distance between the two sides is almost close to the range of the tar bow and arrow. The tartar soldiers in the front row have taken out their bows and put on the arrows in the process of running, just like acrobatics.

Suddenly, something smoking was thrown from the cavalry in front of him.

They didn't slow down at all. Those who didn't know were not afraid. They didn't know what the other party was throwing, and they didn't want to know. They only knew that as long as they were fifty steps closer, they would enter the range of the bow and arrow.

Fifty steps, for a running horse, it is just a momentary thing, and because the other party is busy throwing things, the speed is obviously slowed down.

And fifty steps closer, just close to those smoking things.

Just throw it by hand, or throw it backwards. It can't be thrown far at all, but thanks to the bravery of the Tatar cavalry. The tartars in the front row have crossed the smoking things.

"Boom, boom!" A few loud noises suddenly broke out in the Tutar cavalry, so violent that the ground shook the mountain.

Within ten steps of the center of the explosion, there are no standing creatures. Just the huge air wave can lift the running man off the horse.

Part of the horses were frightened and caught off guard, and several Tatar soldiers fell down.

Muge stopped his horse and looked at the scene around him. He felt as if he had a nightmare, but this nightmare had just begun.

Hearing the explosion behind, Shi Wenjun immediately ordered to slow down and stop. The running cavalry can't stop immediately. Otherwise, if it stops in the front and doesn't stop in the back, it will crash.

Turn the horse's head and lift the sky, and they come to harvest the lives of the tars again.

Slowly moved to a distance of 300 steps. Looking at the tartar cavalry that had been stunned by the explosion, Shi Wenbing gave the familiar command: "Shoot!"

The explosion just now has wiped out more than 30 tars. The remaining dizzy tars, in Shi Wen's eyes, are already lambs that can be slaughtered by themselves, and are no longer hungry wolves who have just chased themselves.

"Ban, bang, bang." With the sound of fire, rows of tar cavalry fell down.

"Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" Mug finally understood that if he didn't run away quickly, he would probably lie here.

However, in the end, no one ran away. They had lost their best chance and fell on the endless field. The ownerless horses were on the ground.

" Put these war horses away first, leave two people to watch, and then go to have fun with me." Shi Wenbing said with a smile.

"Wow, let's have fun!" After these two battles, everyone has fallen into this thrilling and fulfilling "looking for fun" operation.

Cowardly knows that he has been stuck. The hundred-man team responsible for escorting food and fodder in the back team has lost its combat effectiveness, leaving only more than 20 people, and a hundred-person team he sent to chase has not replied for a long time, and the rear is still scratching. I'm afraid this hundred-person team is already more and less lucky. Those are all brave and good soldiers of their own family. In addition to being timid and heartbroken, he has realized that although the other party is not large, it is extremely difficult to deal with. They never do it from the front, but they always make sudden attacks. If you ignore it, you will continue to bring sporadic casualties to yourself. If you send troops to chase, you will fall into the trap of the other party and fall into the end of the whole army. If you stop the brigade and start the battle, the other party will disappear without a trace.

It's not, and I'm not willing to leave. In this way, I rubbed until dark and didn't go out of the territory of Taizhou.

Looking at Luoxi Mountain, he finally stopped in a village called Wangzhuang, and he was already sleepy. If you are timid, you have to let the cavalry live in this village for the time being and leave at dawn tomorrow.

In order to prevent the attacks of those ghosts, a large number of bright whistles and dark whistles are all archers. At night, the power of those firearms will not be exerted. If you can kill a few invading enemies, it will be regarded as revenge for yourself.

The night gradually darkened, and only the sound of garter seemed particularly clear in the dark night sky.

In the water network in the south of the Yangtze River, the Dao River is a relatively famous river. It has nurtured countless villages on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. As a hometown of fish and rice, Jiangnan naturally has its unique conditions. On both sides of the Daohe River, there is also a strange kind of strange building, the hanging foot building, which is a kind of two or three-story wooden structure. Half of the ground floor is built on the water. There are strong piles at the bottom of the water to support the body of the hanging foot building.

Small bridge, flowing water, people, if there is no war, this is a quiet picture of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Outside Taizhou City, the Daohe River is divided into two parts, flowing to the vicinity of the North Gate, and then flowing south along the moat on both sides. Next to the North Gate, there is a wharf and a ship carrying goods, where the goods are docked and unloaded.

Zhang Yang's siege plan focuses on this north gate. Under normal circumstances, the men will put down the sails and park the ship on the dock long before this, and Li Bosheng needs to go the opposite and hit it fiercely.

Before the cannon is built well, this plan, although with a certain ingenuity, is also the most appropriate choice. Only by surprise can we defeat the enemy.

Li Bosheng, who undertook this task, although this is the first achievement of attacking Taizhou, Li Bosheng has always been careful for fear that a negligence will lead to a big mistake.

Countless hanging buildings passed by the side of the boat. Finally, without alarming anyone, the boat had quietly approached the waterway three miles away from the city. It was already midnight. Li Bosheng asked the soldiers to stop the boat, check the wind direction, and check the flow of water to determine the appropriate time to ignite the fuse. The rest is waiting for the big brother's signal.

At this time, there were already crowds in the woods ten miles north of the city. Shi Yi, Tang He, Lv Zhen and Bian Yuanheng, the commanders of these four battalions, have all led their troops to the designated positions on time. They gathered beside Zhang Yang and waited for the next instructions.

Because he was afraid of leaking the target, he did not light the torch. Only the stars in the sky were blinking.

"Good, since each battalion has arrived at the predetermined place, we will remain unchanged according to the original plan." Zhang Yang said, "It's just a little accident. At noon yesterday, the Tartar soldiers in Taizhou sent about 10,000 horses to attack our salt field in an attempt to strangle our uprising in the cradle."

It's past midnight, so it's the beginning of a new day.

Ten thousand people? A trace of sadness flashed on the faces of several thousand commanders. Isn't this action too coincidental? I didn't fight early, I didn't fight late, but I came out and began to attack.

But looking at the confident expressions of the eldest brother and Mr. Shi, it seemed that everything was under control.

"The Tartars are all elite troops, which is beneficial to us. When we attack Taizhou City, the pressure will be greatly reduced." Zhang Yang said.

"What about the salt farm?" Shi Yi asked.

"I have sent the second team of the base camp to contain the enemy. They have been attacking and harassing the Tartars and making them move slowly. So far, the Tartars have not been out of the territory of Taizhou. During the day today, the tars can't get out. Zhang Yang said, "So, we must attack Taizhou quickly this time. We must fight for the morning to completely take down Taizhou. In this way, the Tartars who are ready to attack the salt field will definitely come back to support. The danger of the salt field being attacked will disappear invisibly."

This is the reason for besieging Wei to save Zhao.

Everyone nodded. Indeed, the eldest brother made sense. Attacking Taizhou is just one word: Hurry up!

"Yuan Heng." Zhang Yang said.

"Yes."

"Tomorrow, our main direction of attack is the North Gate. Your fourth battalion and the first team of my base camp will be in charge. After taking down the North Gate, your team will immediately open the East Gate and the South Gate. Before the tars react, they will hold these three doors in our hands. The base camp will keep up and expand the results. Yes."

"Yes, big brother."

"Shiyi, after your first battalion entered the city, you quickly wanted to surround the north with the fourth battalion and the base camp to get rid of the tartar soldiers in the northern barracks. It's a hard bone."

"Yes, big brother." Shi Yi replied.

"Tang He, your second battalion, after entering the city, quickly control the Taizhou Yamen and the Military Bureau, especially the people of the Military Bureau, are not allowed to let go."

"Yes, big brother."

Zhang Yang is particularly important to the Military Bureau. Why did he play Taizhou? A very important reason is that I like the blacksmiths here. With these hundreds of blacksmiths, Tianque can quickly equip the troops like a fine steel spear. Moreover, there are many geniuses in this field. They find out the higher Wu surname from among them and beat out the cannon. In the future, it is impossible to attack the city and land without this thing.

"Brother, what are we doing?" Lv Zhen asked that he was guarding the west gate, and his task was to defend the reinforcements of Yangzhou. However, if Taizhou was taken down in such a long time, it was estimated that Yangzhou would not have responded. Why don't we go to the city too!"

"No, the west gate is left for the tars to escape." Zhang Yang said that I don't know if I can eat the tars in the barracks. The number of tars in it should be quite a lot. If the gates in these four directions are in my own hands, then it may not be a good thing for the trapped beasts to fight. This is also the result of his repeated discussions with Shi Nai'an.

Shi Nai'an shook the fan and added in the back: "The task of your third battalion is relatively flexible. Under the fierce attack on three sides, the people in the city want to escape. They can only go to the west gate. You hide first. If you escape, if you are a well-ordered tar cavalry, let them go. If you want to say that the defeated soldier of a homeless dog, it will suddenly appear, giving them the greatest casualties. More importantly, if you escape from the rich businessmen. , absolutely can't be let go. It's okay for people to leave, but things have to be left and confiscated. Their property is all derived from the exploitation of the peasants.

This is a fat man. Although Lv Zhen was not satisfied, she had to accept it. He secretly made up his mind that he would not let go of any of the defeated soldiers who escaped.

The generals of the soldiers gradually dispersed. Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief. The battle was about to begin soon, which was almost all his own. If you win, you will sit in Taizhou, a military town. You can attack, retreat and defend. If you fail, you will be beaten back to the prototype and have nothing. However, it's too late to return to the school now. Now that you have come here, you can work vigorously, and it's not in vain for yourself as a traveler.

"Your lord, are you worried about the attack in the early morning? Shi Nai'an approached Zhang Yang and asked.

Zhang Yang didn't say anything, but was still looking at the sky and meditating.

"No one can say that they will win every battle. In a war, they will encounter all kinds of sudden ** situations, such as this sudden attack on our salt farm. As commanders, what we can do is to do our best, take every situation into account from all aspects, and deal with all kinds of unexpected situations at any time. As for the result, it depends on God's will. There is an old saying that work is in people, and success is in heaven..."

"No, I'm confident that I will succeed this time." Zhang Yang interrupted Shi Nai'an's words and said, "I firmly believe that I, Zhang Shicheng, was designated by God, and things happen in heaven? God will help me." Otherwise, why did you send me here?

"Command the team to move forward and prepare for the war."
