Chapter 167 Ask for Help
Wu Sangui stared at his men and horses rushing up, as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest. The Xing Tianjun's army immediately burst out a dense and bean-like sound. This kind of sound can be said to be endless, fighting out of the array, hitting Wu Sangui's soldiers in a series of miserably, almost within dozens of steps. It became a dead place. No matter how he rushed, he could not rush to the front of Xing Tianjun and was repelled by waves. The loading speed of Xing Tianjun's fire seemed to be very fast, as if there would be no pause at all. The fire was fired line after row after row, so that the officer's understanding of the bird was completely overturned. He was only beaten upside down, but It has never been possible to shake the array of Xing Tianjun.
The array of the Xingtian Army was like a rock. The officers and soldiers were slapping them like huge waves, but they were still motionless, constantly sending death to the rushing officers and soldiers. The exchange of casualties between the two armies was so large that the officers and soldiers almost collapsed.
After all, the officers and soldiers under Wu Sangui's command belong to the elite soldiers outside the customs, and the generals under his command also have some brave men. Some people braved the rain of Xing Tianjun and rushed to Xing Tianjun, but what was waiting for them were the long gunmen and knife players of Xing Tianjun who were already in a hurry to fight back, and immediately Either he was stabbed to death in front of the battle, or he was turned to the ground by the enemy's knife player, but he could never break through the Xing Tianjun's array from any direction.
The officers and soldiers also fired firearms and arrows, but they could not suppress the Xing Tianjun in terms of firepower, and the new chest armor of Xing Tianjun played a good protective role. The arrows shot on their armor pieces and could not penetrate effectively at all. Most of them slipped through the armor pieces, unless they were shot at the Xingtian Army. On the face of the door or on the limbs with poor defense, it can cause casualties to the soldiers of the Xingtian army, but there are few opportunities to shoot them. Shooting the limbs can't cause too much damage. After many Xingtian soldiers are hit by arrows in their limbs, they can continue to fight in pain, but the officers and soldiers are hit by the bullets of the Xingtian Army, no matter what. If you are shot, you will basically lose the ability to fight immediately, and if you don't die, you will be seriously injured.
Even the bullets fired by the officers and soldiers are difficult to effectively penetrate the chest armor covered on their torso if they are not hit at close range. It is often a pit, which is scary. Even if it penetrates, there is a layer of cotton armor in it, which is difficult to cause a very serious killing. Injury, unless at a very close distance, the three-eyed armor can effectively penetrate this strong chest armor.
Therefore, this battle also tested the defensive ability of the Xingtian Army's chest armor, which made many soldiers feel at ease. At the same time, it also protected the lives of many soldiers, making the soldiers of the Xingtian Army more and more brave.
The result is obvious that Wu Sangui failed to defeat the Xingtian army, which was much less than his, so he could only retreat and re-evade the soldiers and horses. They were stunned, frightened and uneasy, and gathered together to re-arrange, and no longer dare to go up and kill easily.
"Army Gate! The criminal thief really lives up to its reputation! Their tactics are really powerful! There is no way for us to fight like this! Please also ask Sun Dushi for help again!" A subordinate of Wu Sangui said to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui can be said to be in a bad mood at this time. He originally wanted to lead the soldiers to ask for a bargain. He wanted to show the power of his generals in front of Sun Chuanting and those officers and soldiers in the customs. He made a head of merit, but he didn't think that this time he bumped into a spirit of the criminal thief. Soldier, not only didn't get it cheap, but also didn't get the achievements. Instead, he kicked it on the iron plate and broke his toes. This can be said that the dog raised the door curtain. Originally, he wanted to show his nose, but instead of showing his nose, he touched a nose dust, which made Wu Sangui depressed.
At this time, he also realized the power of Xing Tianjun, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, there are only about 2,000 people in the thief army today to stop them. If there are 18,000 people coming, they are likely to be defeated on the banks of the Jindi River. Thinking about it, fortunately, a large number of main forces have not come to the north bank of the Jindi River. If this is the case, maybe if there is a mess by the river, his people and horses may be completely destroyed here in the Jindi River.
After eating such a big one, Wu Sangui completely put away his contempt for Xing Tianjun. He knew why Sun Chuanding was so careful to lead his troops to rescue Jiningzhou this time. Xing Tianjun did have such a ability that no one dared to despise them. Now he can also see that if he relies on these four Five thousand people, not only can't kill this criminal thief, but if one may make the other party counterattack, it may even defeat him. In that case, he can immediately become a big joke.
But if he wants to defeat this thieves, his heavy artillery is still on the north bank of the Jindi River. The temporary bridge to cross the river has not been built, and it can't be transported in a short time, so he only has some light tiger squat guns and Fran machine guns, but because of the hasty arrival, he doesn't even have these heavy weapons. Bring it here, so in the face of this fire of the criminal thief, his firepower is at a complete disadvantage.
And this time he also brought basically his subordinates who crossed the river in advance. These are all the soldiers of the Wu family! In a short time, one or two hundred people died and more than a hundred people were injured. Even dozens of cavalry horses were killed, which almost made the thousands of horses under his command collapse. With so many people killed and injured, they will be paid a pension when they go back. Although you can reach out to the court, the situation in front of the court is also very difficult. This money It's still a question whether you can come back or not!
Therefore, Wu Sangui cherished the soldiers very much. It was not a way to fight like this, so he quickly ordered to suspend the attack and retreated hundreds of steps away from the Xing Tianjun. Seeing that the Xing Tianjun did not seem to have the posture to attack, it seemed that he only wanted to delay them, so he stopped and retreated. Then Wu Sangui ordered to stop the attack. Withdraw.
"Come on, go and ask Sun Dushi for help! It's better to get some cannons. Please send people here as soon as possible!" Wu Sangui put away his arrogance and finally decided to ask Sun Chuanting for help. He can't just kill his Liaodong soldiers. Sun Chuanting's men should also die.
Although Wu Sangui was shocked, he did not think that the two thousand thieves could really defeat him at this time. After all, their officers and soldiers had crossed the river for more than 10,000 people, and it could be said that it was a joke that they could not stop the two thousand thieves. Therefore, after re-evaded the soldiers and horses, Wu Sangui was not very nervous.
At this time, Sun Chuanting had already heard the shouts of killing and dense fire in the distance of the South Bank on the north bank. Sun Chuanting knew that Wu Sangui had made friends with the thief army. He was a little worried, so he climbed up and looked far away from the other side, but because the distance was too far away, only He could only see the banners of the two soldiers and horses, and heard the faint shouts of killing, but he didn't really see it. So Sun Chuanting was ready to cross the river in person and go to the other side to have a look first. However, his family members and generals stopped him one after another, saying that his identity was not easy to be dangerous, and it was better to sit on the north bank to watch the enemy's array command.
So Sun Chuanting thought so. As a supervisor, he often came to the front line in person. Obviously, he did not trust the generals under his command, and there was Wu Sangui, a young tough general in front of him. I'm afraid that doing so he would make Wu Sangui unhappy, so he sat in front of him and waited for Wu Sangui to send back the news. Sure enough, Wu Sangui sent someone to run back soon. It is said that the thief army was fierce, and the Liaodong Army failed to defeat them. Instead, it was because there was no cannon to suppress the other party. As a result, it was seriously killed by the other party's fire. Sun Chuanding asked him to send reinforcements as soon as possible and transport the artillery to help the battle.
After listening to this, Sun Chuanting's heart tightened and quickly asked about the situation again. When he learned that the number of troops of the thief army who came to block the road was indeed only more than 2,000, Sun Chuanting thought about it and was a little relieved. He had an unforgettable experience of Xing Tianjun's strength, and the auxiliary (reserve battalion) combat effectiveness of Xing Tianjun. It's okay, but as long as they meet their main battle camp, often the officers and soldiers can't get any advantage of them at all. When Wu Sangui asked for war just now, he had a feeling that this time I'm afraid it was the main battle camp of the Xing Tian Army. Although Wu Sangui's Liaodong Army is tough, it is only relative. For the officers and soldiers in the mainland, but for the battle barracks of the Shang Xingtian Army, they are not necessarily their opponents.
Now it seems that his prediction is still reasonable. Wu Sangui really went to get rid of his nose. Now he has come to ask for help. After thinking about it, Sun Chuanting first ordered Ye Bu to search the two wings on the north bank of the river to prevent the Xing Tianjun from hiding soldiers and horses on the north bank of the river and secretly attacking the back of his palace. In addition, he considered Once Wu Sangui was defeated, if the Xing Tian army waved his army to cover up, it might cause the collapse of the officers and soldiers who had crossed the Jindi River, so he quickly ordered that Ma Dazhi, who had crossed the river in advance, lead 2,000 soldiers and horses, to Wu Sangui to listen with some of the tiger squat guns and small and medium-sized Franco cannons that had been transported across the river. In addition, the auxiliary soldiers were ordered to speed up the construction of the convenient bridge, so as to transport the heavy artillery across the river in advance, defeat the roadblock army on the south bank of the Jindi River, and cover the rest of the soldiers and horses to cross the river.
Tens of thousands of people crowded on both sides of the Jindi River and stretched out along the river bank for more than ten miles. The thickness also reached several miles wide. The black pressure was full of soldiers, mules and horses. It was really lively.
However, Sun Chuanting was worried when he saw such a scene. As a member of the court who presided over the suppression of bandits and military affairs for many years, he knew that this was the weakest time for soldiers and horses. Although when he ordered to cross the river, the establishment of the officers and military departments could not be chaotic, it was not easy to do it. Soldiers and horses from everywhere gathered together. Although they obeyed his orders, the order was not unified. In particular, the generals of the Liaodong Army under Wu Sangui were very arrogant and did not follow his command at all. In the early stage, they crossed part of the river first, and the rest did not want to go down into the cold river, so they stayed. After waiting for the bridge to be built on the north bank before crossing the river, so that when Wu Sangui asked for a battle, most of the people and horses under his command did not cross the river on the north bank of the Jindi River, which made the establishment of many soldiers and horses begin to be chaotic at this time. If they encounter a large-scale raid by the enemy at this time, then It will collapse immediately.
(Today, thank you for the reward of the doomsday glorious friends!)
