Chapter One Hundred and Twenty: The First World War Sets the Southwest (Part 2)
The battlefield changes rapidly.
Sun Hongji, Li Shiji, Zhao Guangrong and three other Tongzhou guard generals fulfilled their mission and sacrificed a group of suicide squads. They successfully won the Lengshui Pass within half a day.
The rapid change of ownership here almost played a decisive role in the entire Nanchuan battle situation.
A few miles away, Chen Ce rode on his horse and frowned when he saw the She army stop moving forward. This was not right.
The tips I received before were that She Chongming gathered a large army and rushed towards him from the front.
But now he roughly estimated that the She Army in front of him had less than 20,000 troops on the three positions, and even fewer cavalry.
Liu Yuanbin also looked solemn, and the rebels could never have only this little power.
Although this was his first time as a cavalry commander to participate in large-scale operations, he, who has always been keen, has noticed that an atmosphere of uneasiness is permeating the battlefield.
"General, the commander of the opposite side is a chief. She Chongming did not show up. I'm afraid we will fall into a trap."
Chen Ce did not look back and pondered: "Where has Your Majesty been?"
"Two quarters of an hour ago, Your Majesty has already brought his personal troops to camp on the Gangqiu, and Huang Degong is guarding him."
"Well, I don't worry if he is here." Chen Ce learned about this man in Yulin, let down his worries, but asked again:
"Didn't there be any news from Qi Jin from the left?"
Liu Yuanbin shook his head.
"The last time the news came, it was a quarter of an hour ago."
"wrong…"
Chen Ce was also afraid that the government army would fall into a trap. These rebels, because they knew the terrain of Shu, often waited for work, and suddenly set up ambush, which made the government army unable to defend themselves.
Just as he was thinking, a fast horse was coming from behind, but the emperor's imperial camp general came. Due to special circumstances, the person who came just held his fist ceremony on the horse and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty said that you should build a watchtower on your post, which can boost morale and facilitate the overall situation."
As soon as the Great Han general finished speaking, he turned around and walked away. He had just rushed a few steps, but turned his horse's head and turned back, saying:
"Your Majesty also said that when fighting in various places, there is no need to ask the imperial camp. From the left governor of the general, to the generals of the generals, to the thousands of generals, you can do things at a cheap price!"
Hearing this, Chen Ce felt more confident and said loudly: "Please tell Your Majesty that there will be no problem with the right wing."
At this time, there was movement on the other side.
There were drums coming in front, but the local chief led more than 20,000 troops to advance suddenly with shouts. They regularly slapped swords and guns on the shields, with great momentum.
"Roar!Roar!Roar!"
The rebels gradually approached with drums and shouts, and many officers and soldiers became nervous. At this time, a model cavalry flew out of Chen Ce's back formation.
Soon, Liu Yuanbin, who received the order, led thousands of cavalry to face him and took a waiting position to stand in front of the artillery battalion where the position was being built.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers had just divided thousands of cavalry from the formation and stepped forward for a while, they stopped advancing, and the local chief who led the troops was also confused.
This stone beach is slightly wide enough to make tens of thousands of troops line up here, and the trickle flows through the stone beach, which is not conducive to the running of people and horses.
Most of the cavalry of the She Army were mules and donkeys collected by chieftains from various places, but the officers and cavalry were excellent war horses.
The array of rock beaches can offset their cavalry advantages.
Thinking of this, the Tu Ke suddenly felt confident in his heart as he looked at the familiar terrain around him, and then sneered a few more times. These officers and soldiers would know that Shitan was powerful in a while.
As the two armies became closer, Chen Ce also received feedback from Liu Yuanbin, which means that the terrain of the stone beach was not conducive to the impact of the cavalry.
When Chen Ce heard this, he began to ponder.
There are mountains on both sides, and there are rocky beaches and streams in the middle. There is neither a tree nor a mound, so it is indeed impossible to exert its cavalry advantage.
But he thought about it and smiled slightly.
Immediately, Chen Ce immediately sent a model soldier to order Liu Yuanbin to immediately attack the rebels on the west side of the stone beach, and to prevent them from standing there.
He decided to use Liu Yuanbin's cavalry as bait to lure some rebels to the west side of the stone beach and divide and surround them.
As for the rebels' wishful thinking, Chen Ce also understood.
Thinking of this, he even sneered a few more times.
Although She Chongming was familiar with the terrain, this time he was smart but was mistaken for cleverness.
As for the terrain on the rock beach, although its cavalry is inconvenient to attack, the rebels on the opposite side are also very likely to be killed by guns and cannons.
Obviously, She Chongming made a mistake.
Although he made sufficient analysis of the advance of the government troops everywhere, he missed a key link - firearms.
Under such terrain, Chen Ce, who has rich combat experience, knows that his cavalry has no effect, but the firearm can exert its maximum power.
Since the cavalry is useless, why not sacrifice and use this as bait to separate and eliminate the rebels?
As soon as the model left, the rebels began to approach the middle route, and the two armies gradually connected.
When they entered the shooting range of the self-generated bird gun, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded on the official positions.
However, it was the more than 2,000 bird gunmen in the brave guard camp who had already started to fire volleys.
The terrain on the rocky beach made it not so easy for the rebels to avoid or resist these flying lead bullets.
After the casualties, the rebels naturally were unwilling to sit and wait for death, and soon they divided some archers and musketeers into shooting.
There were casualties in the officers and soldiers' positions, but in comparison, the number of casualties in the rebels was several times that of the official army.
These self-generated bird guns, improved by Bi Maokang and others, not only have a launch device, but will not be affected by the weather, but also have a much greater power.
The rebels kept releasing rain of arrows to the officers and soldiers' positions, but their rain of arrows was simply drizzle compared to the Jurchens in Liao.
The officers and soldiers all have excellent armor, and the casualties caused by the rebel bows and arrows are very limited.
The Tu Chief found that he could not shoot at the target. After having a deep impression of the power of officers and soldiers, he quickly ordered his subordinates to march forward.
At the same time, he also divided some of his troops and turned to Liu Yuanbin's cavalry on the west side and rushed over.
Despite this, the number of rebels in the middle was still much higher than that of Chen Ce's central army.
Chen Ce rode on the horse, and he could even see from the disdainful face of the local chief that he wanted to use the number of people to fight directly in the middle lane.
I think the Tucheng also knew in his heart that when everyone was fighting together, they were not afraid of the sharp guns and cannons of the government army.
When he saw the rebels split up a part to surround Liu Yuanbin, Chen Ce smiled and they were fooled.
Half a quarter of an hour passed, and after more than a thousand broken corpses were thrown away, the most tragic close contact began.
The two sides fought together, and the Tucheng also led the team himself. After a series of slashes, they realized that these officers and soldiers were very powerful.
Their team is not messy at all, and it is obvious that they are all well-trained elites!
Although the number of rebels was the dominant number, their swords and guns were often driven away when they were stabbed on the official army for the first time.
The officers and soldiers were just the opposite. The sharp swords and spears could easily penetrate the rebels' defenses and stab into the flesh.
The battle lasted less than a quarter of an hour, and the shouts of killing penetrated the mountains and went straight into the sky.
A trickle of water turned into a river of blood flowing with blood and flesh, which was shocking.
