Chapter 193 Tuanshan Defense Line

Kong Zhenhui nodded repeatedly. To be honest, this time, Ding Qirui forced him to lead the troops from Chuzhou. He was in his heart all the way. After meeting with Wanwanji, he learned that they were going to station in the area of Tuanshan, which was more or less reassuring. He was a supervisor and a civilian background. So many fierce generals of the imperial court have failed. In the hands of Xing Tianjun, Kong Zhenhui did not think that he had three heads and six arms. With this point of him in Chuzhou, he could kill the Xing Tian thief in Fengyang Mansion.

Now after looking at the Xing Tianhe who is strong soldiers and strong, he knows that what he expected is a little bit. With the people and horses brought by his men, it is not enough for others to stuff their teeth at all. Fortunately, Wanji and Huang Degong mainly guard the camp and have no intention of fighting, which made Kong Zhen more or less at ease.

At this time, Huang Degong, as the main general, had already arrived in the front camp and was dispatched. Looking at a team of Xing Tianjun outside the battalion, Huang Degong was also extremely nervous. Huang Degong asked himself that he was not as greedy and afraid of death. For so many years, he had killed the tartars in the north for the sake of the imperial court. He has also fought with all kinds of civilian troops, but he has never made him feel aggrieved like when he met Xing Tianjun. Now he has made him feel as big as long as he hears the name of Xing Tianjun.

This time, he met Xing Tianjun again. Huang Degong was full of anger and wanted to take the risk of his troops to go out to fight to the death, but thinking about it, it was just to show off his courage. Basically, there was no chance of winning, so he still had to think about it, but he still had to face the reality.

Huang Degong is very clear at present that with these soldiers and horses under his command, if they go to war, what will be the result? There are only about thousands of armored soldiers among tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. The numerical advantage can't be transformed into the advantage of combat effectiveness at all. Not to mention the enemy's nearly 30,000 horses this time, even if they come to 10,000 horses, they These 40,000 officers and soldiers may not be able to defeat the thief army in the field. You should know that this thief army has created the miracle of defeating 20,000 horses of the Guanning army with 2,000 horses in Jingfu. Looking at this battle, there is no chance of winning the confrontation with the Xingtian Army head-on.

Although Huang Degong is a rough man, he is also a thick and detailed person. After thinking about it over and over again, he finally feels that he is more confident to defend according to the mountain. After all, the officers and soldiers are not well trained, and they are likely to be defeated in a battle when they go out to the field, but if they stick to the camp, the officers and soldiers can more or less exert some combat effectiveness. At least you can compete with it.

So after the army arrived at Tuanshan, he took a fancy to the terrain here and built the battalion according to the mountain, forming a ladder arrangement. They could not only resist the enemy independently, but also support each other. At the same time, they could also send elite soldiers out to counterattack. As soon as the army stopped, Huang Degong led the generals day and night. The soldiers rushed to build all kinds of barracks, barracks, deer forts and other things, and followed the practice of Xing Tianjun to dig trenches inside and outside the wall, and took soil to build low walls as a guard.

Although it was only a few days, Huang Degong led the army to turn Tuanshan into a gully fortress and build a quite perfect defense.

However, these things that Huang Degong did did not attract enough attention from Xiao Tianjian and his subordinate generals. For a long time, the weakness of the officers and soldiers has long caused the contempt of the officers and soldiers. Therefore, this time Xiao Tianjian gathered so many soldiers and came here to deal with the troops. The close officers and soldiers, the whole army showed a feeling of contempt for the enemy.

Luo Li is one of the representatives among them. After the battle was approved, he immediately led the headquarters to go out of the official army camp to scold the battle. Luo Li even galloped back and forth outside the front camp of the official army, and named Huang Degong's name to let him come out to fight.

Huang Degong sat in the front camp with a pale face. He ordered his officers and soldiers not to be noisy. He set up the artillery, and a box of boxes of bees were also transported to the edge of the camp. After a large number of archers, gunners, gunners, gunners and knife cards entered the pass walls inside and outside the camp, he was ready to resist. No matter how Luo Li The officers and soldiers scolded outside the camp, but they just ignored it.

Luo Li scolded for a long time. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were like dead pigs who were not afraid of boiling water, they ignored him and felt quite boring, so he turned around and ordered to prepare for a strong attack.

So Xing Tianjun immediately pushed the cannon out and put it outside the officer's battalion. The gunners gathered around the cannon one by one, loaded it at a fast speed, and began to select the target.

With an order, the Xing Tianjun artillery array began to spewed out flames one after another. The gunpowder smoke rising from the gun mouth soon covered the artillery array. The hot shells roared and fell into the official army camp. Even if the passes of some places were bombarded out one by one, with a The Rejected Deer Fort outside the camp was immediately bombarded into a pile of debris, which immediately caused a scream in the army camp.

Huang Degong was dressed in heavy armor and walked around the camp with his usual two iron whips. He did not care about the cannonballs of the Xingtian Army that kept falling in the camp, and shouted loudly scolding the panicked officers and soldiers in the camp. When he saw some officers and soldiers panicked, he turned around and fled from the hiding place and messed around the camp. When he ran away, he waved his whips angrily and killed these soldiers on the spot without mercy.

"Those who dare to make noise and run around will be killed without mercy!" Huang Shengqiang shouted in the camp. After saying that, he whipped a man who left the position privately and died on the spot.

At this time, the officers and soldiers were scared. In the eyes of the soldiers, they were already very big officials, but they were casually slaughtered by Huang Degong. Therefore, the officers and soldiers who originally wanted to escape from the position were so scared that they had to return to their respective positions one after another, squatting under the wall or wooden fence, not even their heads. If you dare to show it, you can only trembling and let Xing Tianjun's shells roar above their heads.

And there are also artillery in the officer's camp. During this period, Ding Qirui tried his best in Nanzhili. On the one hand, he ordered the Nanjing Military Bureau to cast a large number of artillery and allocate them to the armies. On the other hand, he spent a lot of money and hired some foreigners from Quanzhou, Macao, Guangzhou and other places in Fujian to teach the art of cannons. At the same time, even Zheng Zhilong, who is known as the commander-in-chief of Fujian and the governor, did not hesitate to send dozens of various types of Hongyi cannons to Ding Qirui this time, and hundreds of exquisite bird guns made by southern craftsmen to help Ding Qirui defend Nanzhili.

Therefore, for more than a year, although the quality of weapons and equipment is not good, the number of artillery has increased a lot. At least there are several Hongyi cannons and dozens of other cannons in the Huang Degong Army.

However, after the Xing Tianjun fired the cannon, Huang Degong ordered any gunner not to fire back without authorization, because he knew very well that he was fighting with Xing Tianjun now. They were still at a disadvantage. The artillery battle certainly did not take advantage of it. Instead of being overturned by the thief army as soon as he started the war, it was better to use it at a critical time.

The tactics of Xing Tianjun over the years have undoubtedly affected the generals of the officers and soldiers, so that they have to reconsider how to fight with the Xing Tianjun. Before the establishment of Xing Tianjun's military governance, they can only think of other ways to deal with Xing Tianjun as much as possible, and Huang Degong, Xiao Tianjian's veteran The defeated general is undoubtedly one of the best. After repeated defeats, he has also learned a lot.

So under the artillery fire of the Xing Tianjun, although the officers and soldiers flew around in the battalion, under the strong pressure of Huang Degong, the officers and soldiers did not collapse in panic as usual, and Huang Degong swaggered around in the camp braved the artillery fire of the Xing Tianjun, which undoubtedly made the officers and soldiers feel at ease. As the saying goes, the calmness of Huang Degong undoubtedly affects the generals under his command, so the officers and soldiers gradually stabilized from the initial panic.

Because Huang Degong built a lot of pass walls and trenches in advance, most of the officers and soldiers hid behind the pass wall. The thick pass wall greatly absorbed the kinetic energy of Xing Tianjun's artillery shells, making it difficult for the shells to form bouncing bullets after landing, and the road was blocked by the earth wall one after another, so it looked very lively and also destroyed some pass. Walls and barracks, but in fact, the casualties of the officers and soldiers in the battalion are not very big. When the officers and soldiers hiding behind the barrier wall see this situation, they are more relieved. They lie in the wall and trenches and don't say anything. Unless they are unlucky enough to be directly hit by shells, otherwise, solid bullets are really not good for them. How many ways are there?

Luo Li made an empirical mistake this time. After seeing the firing of the artillery battalion, he made the officers and soldiers fly around, so he firmly believed that the officers and soldiers had been scared. He didn't look down on Huang Degong, the defeated general at all. After a while of shelling, he immediately raised his big iron gun and roared, "Come with me. ! Step through the army camp and show the brothers behind us how powerful we are! Kill it!"

Behind Luo Li immediately sounded the sound of a tsunami-like shouting, and thousands of Xingtian soldiers immediately followed Luo Li, raised their shields and roared and ran towards the officer's camp.

Listening to the shouts and killing of the Xing Tianjun outside the battalion, many officers and soldiers hid under the wall and trembled with fear. Their faces were blue, and their eyes were full of fear. If it hadn't been for Huang Degong, the main general, had been bombed in the battalion, many officers and soldiers would have lost their guys and fled to the camp, but these The officers and soldiers did not dare to escape. If they fled, it was clear that they were dead, so they could only squat nervously under the open wall and wait for the orders of the generals.
