Chapter 52 Fearless in the face of danger

The reason why Diao Zheng can be promoted from a soldier is that he has now become the left and right arms of Yan Chongxi and a deputy capital. He is not nepotism or a person who is a brave and resourceful person. He is a real general who has been tempered in blood and fire. Not only is he brave and abnormal when he goes to battle, but he is also very calm and good at learning in war. He is known for his resourcefulness when fighting. This is also the reason why Xiao Tianjian gave him this important task this time, that is, he values his calmness and wit.

After finishing the pre-war mobilization, Diao Zheng was not in a hurry to immediately lead his troops out of the camp and go to find the officers and soldiers desperately. Instead, he ordered his subordinates to take a rest on the spot first, so that people could send the war meal over and let his men have a full meal first.

This time he mobilized more than 2,000 people under his command, and the remaining hundreds of people were assigned to the other three sides as a unit. Each team will be assigned to a batch of newly selected auxiliary soldiers, each responsible for guarding one direction, and the remaining more than 2,000 people followed him as a assault force, ready to pull out the official. Military field battle.

As for the officers and soldiers, they were really busy when they arrived at the place. They pulled out the artillery carried by the army and put them in front of the army. All kinds of bee rockets were also carried out and set up. After all, they are all soldiers outside the customs. Both the quality of equipment and the training are better than some officers and soldiers in the customs. On some, the firepower is also strong enough. If Diao Zheng is rushing out to fight with them at this time, he will suffer a lot of casualties. Therefore, Diao Zheng is very clear about his weaknesses and is not in a hurry. Instead, he first orders all the soldiers and civilians in the battalion to hide under the dug trenches and low walls, and let the officers and soldiers first. Launch an offensive, and then seek opportunities to launch an assault.

And the officers and soldiers have an absolute military advantage. They will not wait for Xing Tianjun to go out to fight with them, so it didn't take long for the officers and soldiers to arrange artillery, rockets and other things around the outside of the battalion. At this time, they can't take care of the cold wind and piercing. They wrapped themselves tightly and rode on a good horse with high spirits. Fa looked at the arrangement of the officers and soldiers under his command. After seeing that all kinds of preparations were basically in place, he waved his hand forward and shouted in a shrill voice, "Start the attack for this prison!"

With the high waving of the army flag in the submerged, when the sound of the war drums sounded, the officers and artillerymen who had been ready and those soldiers who operated the rockets excitedly began to point the cannon and the rocket of the rocket.

In an instant, the area around Nanying Village was like boiling a pot. The sound of cannons roared in pieces. A large number of rockets rose from the ground like flying crows. In an instant, they flew towards the big camp of Nanying Village, and all kinds of shells also flew away and hit Nanying Village heavily. Camp.

Suddenly, a mass of dust rose in Nanying Village, and the shells hit the camp heavily, which made the gray stones fly around for a while. Fortunately, Diao was rushing to dig a lot of trenches inside and outside the camp and build earth walls, making these officers' shells fall into the camp. Unable to jump up and continue to fly forward, they are blocked by the earth wall one after another, and the earth wall is watered, which turns into ice and becomes extremely strong. Generally, after the shell hits the earth wall, it is impossible to destroy the earth wall. Often the ice and soil smashed on the earth wall fly around, leaving a pit.

But after all, the officers and soldiers are Guanning Army. Some of the artillery they equip are Hongyi cannons. More than 2,000 catties of Hongyi cannons are fired, but the power is very huge. In order to strengthen the firepower, the Ming army gunners not only stuffed a cannonball into the gun chamber, but also fort a fortress. There are a dozen small shells. Once the cannonball jumps to the ground and falls into the crowd, it will cause great casualties. At the same time, once the cannonball hits the earth wall, even the frozen earth wall can't stand it. Even if it is bombarded down, the soldiers and civilians who often hide behind the earth wall will be bombarded out and die miserably.

After all, most of the people in the camp are ordinary people. I have never seen such a battle. The shells keep falling, and the rockets are falling like raindrops. From time to time, people will be torn to pieces by bullets, or the arrows will scream and throw them down. Suddenly, there is a sound of exclamation and crying in the camp, some timid Even if the people jumped up and wanted to escape to a safe place, the result was that there was no safe place for them to shelter at this time. Many of the people who jumped up were immediately overturned by overwhelming rockets and became victims for nothing.

The officers and soldiers can't care whether you are the Xingtian Army or the ordinary people. They carry out indiscriminate treatment. At the beginning, they want to break up these Xingtian Army and the people, so that they can attack the camp effortlessly.

Looking at the panicked people, some Xingtian soldiers roared and ordered them to avoid the earth wall or jump into the trench. Some soldiers rushed out and pressed the people back to the earth wall or trench, scolding them for their stupidity. For a moment, there was the scolding of the generals everywhere.

However, this kind of scolding is good for the people, and the people also understand them. After the initial chaos, the people also found that it was much safer to hide under the earth wall or in the trench, so they settled down and no longer dared to jump out casually. In this way, after paying a certain price, Nan The camp village was not as chaotic as the officers and soldiers thought. Instead, it began to stabilize. Under the overwhelming rockets and shells, the officers and soldiers gradually could not see anyone in the camp.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the whole camp was covered with a layer of rockets. The ground seemed to suddenly grow a layer of arrows. On the earth wall, the trees were shot like hedgehogs. Some of the injured were screaming, and the crying of women also came out from time to time. The whole Under such an attack by the officers and soldiers, Nanying Village seemed to suddenly become a dead place.

Gao Qiqian looked at the situation of Nanying Village proudly, admiring the spectacular scene of this kind of artillery and a large number of rockets. When he saw that there was no movement in Nanying Village, he proudly asked a general who followed him, "My big weapon is really powerful. This time, it will not make the thieves in the camp and the people. Let's all be killed!"

The military general quickly bowed with a flattering smile and replied, "If you go back to the high prison, how can the rats of the Xing Tian army be our opponents? Today, there is a high prison supervisor who supervises the battle here. The generals and soldiers in the army are all brave. How can the thief army withstand such a scene? It must have been scared! At this time, as long as Gao Dajian is ordered, the army will attack together, and he will be able to flatten it immediately!"

He laughed sharply: "Haha! Then what are you waiting for? Start the attack! This prison wants to kill this group of thieves in one fell swoop! Save these people who were held hostage by the thieves!"

The shelling lasted for a long time and the rocket gradually stopped. Although the Hongyi cannon is very powerful, the heat dissipation is a problem. It can't continuously fire a lot of shells. After firing a few shots, you have to stop and wait for the gun body to cool down. Otherwise, it is easy to cause gunpowder spontaneous combustion, and the officer's Hongyi cannon is not There are fixed cloth bags and medicine bags. Once the chamber is overheated or there is little little Mars, it will cause spontaneous combustion, so the officer gunners should be very careful to avoid self-injury. As for the rocket, there is no such problem, but there is a problem of unstable flight. Once the officers and soldiers start to attack, they dare not dare to do it again. The rocket is launched, otherwise one can't do it well. If you can't shoot the enemy, you will shoot your own man from behind.

After a large number of officers and soldiers got the order, they immediately held shields and guns, or came out with three-eyed guns, bows and arrows and other objects, and began to line up outside the Nanying Village camp. With a high order, the flag was waving, and the officers and soldiers also shouted in unison, "Kill the thief... Wansheng..." and began to advance towards Nanying Village.

The tactics of the officers and soldiers are just like this. The front row is the fireman and the archer with a three-eyed gun or a small amount of bird gun, followed by the knife hand presses the array, followed by armored infantry with long guns. First, use the archer and arrow hand to attack the fireman to attack the enemy, and then use the knife hand to cooperate with the gunner to launch the attack, and There is no essential difference in the tactics used by the Tasant soldiers. They just use more firearms, but the same tactics, once they encounter the Tatar, often because the Ming soldiers will be afraid of life and death, they dare not fight desperately. As a result, they will be defeated by the Tarot soldiers. Today, in their opinion, this danger does not seem to exist. After all, the number of enemies Too little. They still have a large number of cavalry in the rear. No matter how they fight this battle, it seems that they should have won, so the Ming army generals stared at the Xing Tianjun's battalion one by one and pushed forward with high morale.

However, the camp in Nanying Village is silent at this moment. The newly selected auxiliary soldiers who are extremely nervous are sweating one by one. They hide behind the outer earthen wall tremblingly. They are a little at a loss, and they are often surrounded by one or several generals of the Xingtian Army, constantly calming. Comfort them so that they don't have to be afraid. Listen to their greetings later, and then get up to fight with the officers and soldiers.

Most of these soldiers of the Xingtian Army are firemen. Their faces are as heavy as water as if nothing happened. Some people even have a smile on their faces. They carefully check and wipe the self-fired fire in their hands. Finally, they check the flint on the self-fired fire, and begin to load the ammunition into the fire in an orderly manner. , pound the ammunition hard with a cane, pound it at the fire door with a small cone, pat the body to make the gunpowder pour out of the fire door a little, enter the medicine pool, and be ready to launch.

In each direction, 150 firefighters were arranged. These firefighters were divided into three rows and fired in groups. Although the firepower was not dense and the troops were thin, there were potholes dug within dozens of steps in these three directions. If the officers and soldiers wanted to get close to the outermost low wall, they could not make it. With attack tools such as a car, coupled with a large number of auxiliary soldiers with bows temporarily put together, they should be able to hold on for a period of time.

On the contrary, the officers and soldiers in the south are the most concentrated because of the terrain. They want to take the south as a breakthrough and enter the camp of the Xingtian Army. The officers and soldiers sent are very thick. They are determined to solve this war as quickly as possible. The thief army was wiped out here and completed the task given to him by the emperor. As long as he took back these people, as for how many people died, it was nothing to him. The more people died, the better. It happened that he could use their heads as the heads of the thief's army to ask for credit, so after reviewing the terrain, he concentrated the main force in the south. In order to conquer this Nanying Village in one fell swoop.
