Chapter 159: Bombing Camp

"Boom...Boom..." The sudden roar from the night sky tore the entire sky. More than a dozen shells exploded the Wu Jun camp tent in the city. The iron nails and debris quickly splashed along the powerful air waves. The Wu Jun in his sleep suddenly woke up, and then the screams of his injured partner, Gesi's deepest.

In the quiet, short-lived night sky, except for the painful moans, it suddenly became quiet. All the Wu soldiers who woke up from their dreams looked around in the darkness, and their panicked eyes revealed the deepest fear in their hearts.

"Ming Gouzi is here." Someone jumped up from the mat quickly and ran to the camp gate to get his knife.

"Kill!" The awakened soldiers found flames coming out of the camp tent. After the artillery bombardment, the high temperature ignited the flammable tent. The terrified soldiers suddenly became irritable. They rushed to the gate of the camp to grab the weapons on the weapons rack.

The camp was bombed! The soldiers lived in fear, especially on the eve of the war. No one knew whether they could come back alive tomorrow. Everyone was on the verge of mental breakdown. At this time, perhaps it was because of the screams of a soldier when he had a nightmare at night, and then everyone screamed together. Everyone fought and quarreled with each other, and even bited each other, chasing officers, enemies, people they didn't know and comrades. The next day, only the corpses were left on the ground.

This row of cannons was the catalyst. When the awakened soldiers woke up, they heard the moans of their comrades, heard the roar of cannons, smelled the burning breath everywhere, and saw flames flowing everywhere, and finally broke down.

"Kill, kill Ming Gouzi!" Countless swaying figures fought together under the illumination of the fire. "Kill Ming Gouzi." Someone shouted from his throat with a twisted face, but without hesitation, he chopped towards a partner wearing the same robe at Zhou Pan, with his head rolling down and blood splashed everywhere.

They all went crazy. After the blood spread, some people who were still rational also went crazy, and countless screams spread. Under the night sky, there were only blood and moans.

The Dingbei Army artillery battalion, which was fired outside the city, was startled by the sudden scream. They were here to harass them. Now they have the road again and have rotating ground artillery. The artillery battalion is like the wind. As long as they are not chased by the cavalry of the brigade, no one can do anything to them.

However, the screaming sound in the city was too terrifying. It was like thousands of troops. Although the city gate was closed as always, the Qianhu officials who led the team were still scared. Originally, they expected that they would have to shell out about three or four rounds. When the other party reacted and sent cavalry, they would retreat calmly. However, in this way, they became a little uneasy. The artillery camp was the lifeblood of the Dingbei Army. General Li also thought that there was no danger in the sneak attack in the middle of the night and decided to give the Qing army a chance to harass the Qing army to make them angry. Before leaving the camp, he had told him to be careful. Therefore, the Qianhu officials did not dare to take risks anymore. He waved his hand: "Don't put on gunpowder. Get ready to escape."

The blood in the city had just begun, and the crazy soldiers began to walk out of the barracks. They stepped on the corpses of their companions, looking at their former comrades. Now the enemies, some machete soldiers were still struggling in pools of blood and not dead. Soon someone stepped on the head of the man's land. With a sneer, a cold light appeared in the darkness, and the sharp sword penetrated the man's brain. The red and white juice gradually spread on the winner's boots. Then the owner of the boots moved. He hid into another darkness with his sword, looking for the next target.

Wu Sangui was also awakened by the sound of cannons. Then there was a shout of killing in the east city. He was furious in his heart. Could it be that Li Dingguo rushed into the city?

The Wu army had 60,000 people stationed in four cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively. The shouts of killing in the east city became more and more intense. Then several blood-covered officers stumbled into the underworld yard of King Pingxi.

"Your Majesty, no good. There are thieves' artillery shelling outside the city. Brothers in the East City are bombing the camp. General Wang was cut off by the army. The old brothers escaped from death and ran out." He was crying and was a thousand-year-old man in his forties. Half of his arm was cut with a deep blood mark. Blood was constantly gushing from the wound. His whole forearm was half hanging from his side.

Wu Sangui's face was shocked. The bombing of the camp was an ominous omen, indicating that the troops were facing a catastrophe. Wu Sangui might not believe this. But the 60,000 troops believed that the land was probably due to the crossing of the river. In this way, the morale of the land might be frustrated. But this time is not the time to consider morale. These are all the capitals of Wu Sangui. If they cannot be properly handled, the 10,000 people in the East City will be completely finished.

"Where did the artillery come from? How are the soldiers in other cities and cities in an mood?" Wu Sangui asked anxiously, while shouting to the personal soldiers outside the door: "What are you doing when you are still stunned? All the personal soldiers gather outside the yamen to prepare horses."

"It should be that the ground cannon sound came from outside the East City. The soldiers in other camps were originally frightened. Fortunately, some officers immediately responded and suppressed. It was not a big deal. Prince. Have you transferred troops to suppress them?" The reply was a rushing blue ling to repair the service officer.

Wu Sangui's face was so deep that it made people feel cold, and his blade-like eyes kept flashing in the candlelight: "Send a team of cavalry immediately. It is not easy to transport artillery. Even if the thief army wants to escape, it may not be able to escape. I want to let these dog thieves' heads."

"Zhe!" A sect leader who was on standby beat him up and turned around and was about to go out, but was stopped by Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui's face suddenly relaxed and he couldn't help but grow old: "No need to chase him. Since Li Dingguo dared to let his artillery come to bomb the city, he must have a way to escape unstoppable. Maybe this was the plan set by Li Dingguo to lure the enemy, and he deliberately lure our army out of the city."

"Instruct each battalion to surround the riots. If there is any weapon, kill them!" The most urgent task is to solve the mutiny soldiers first. Wu Sangui hurriedly led a team of people out of the government office and personally dispatched the army of each battalion to form an encirclement to the east city.

Countless torches began to burn in the city. The soldiers in the East City watched the crowds of black people on three sides surrounded with spears. Then countless gongs were ringing continuously. Someone was yelling: "The King of Pingxi has an order to put down his weapons and forgive his death penalty. All those who want to survive are squatting on the ground."

The night wind blew, and under the bright torches as bright as day, the soldiers began to calm down gradually. After the madness, there was endless panic and fatigue. Everyone let go of their hands, and with a tingling sound, the weapon fell into a pool of blood...

The entire riot lasted only half an hour, but it caused the Wu army to lose more than 4,000 soldiers. Wu Sangui didn't care about anything else and kept appeaseing the battalions and treating the injured. The entire Karen City was in chaos all night.

The Wu army's bombing camp was something Li Dingguo did not expect. This time, the artillery battalion was sent to test the performance of the new artillery and to hit the morale of the Wu army. In addition, this kind of horse-drawn artillery moved fast enough on the road. As long as it was not the Wu army's cavalry was dispatched, there would be no problem to retreat calmly.

As for whether Wu Sangui's cavalry would go out of the city to attack, Li Dingguo was very sure. This veteran who was good at using tricks had already predicted Wu Sangui's character. Wu Sangui was a veteran and had always been quite afraid of himself. Since this was the case, Li Dingguo asked the artillery to attack the enemy. Wu Sangui must have believed that his military veteran would never only let the artillery camp be listed under the city without any preparation. How could a veteran military veteran make such a low mistake? Wu Sangui didn't believe it, so he was deceived.

This tactic is similar to the empty city strategy, and it is a trick of being virtual and being virtual.

The Dingbei Army has been hiding in the ups and downs of northern Myanmar. When the artillery battalion returns to the camp, the Qianhuguan comes back to report that Li Dingguo has already stroked his beard and nodded: "Although he has only had one round of artillery bombings, safety is the priority. If you can bring the artillery battalion intact, it is a great achievement. Your name must be written on the merit book."

"Thank you for your kindness in the promotion of the General Manager." The Qianhuguan happily withdrew from the Central Army camp and did not sleep all night. Now it is the time to make up for your sleep.

As soon as the Qianhu officials left, Li Dingguo frowned. Although he took some small advantage this time and wiped out the Wu army's spirit, the real decisive battle was just beginning. If the 20,000 people under his command might be enough, but how easy is it to wipe out the enemy completely?

The war report in northern Myanmar was a few days ago. Li Dingguo had already passed the flying pigeons to Haidu, but it was not safe to pass the letter from Feidu, which was easy to cause mistakes. For this reason, a scout named Pegasus was specially sent to report along the Chidao to Haidu. If the flying pigeons could be transmitted to Haidu, then the emperor's will could be transmitted back in one or two days. If the reinforcements from Haidu borrowed the Chidao and rushed to the road overnight, they would probably only arrive in seven or eight days. I don't know how many variables there are in this.

"Master, the news from Haidu is coming. Here is the emperor's secret order." A cheerful cry came from outside the tent. An officer huddled a yellow silk the size of a silk squid in his hands without waiting for the personal soldiers at the door to report it.

"Oh? It's so fast." Li Dingguo was shocked. He respectfully used his hands to pick up the yellow silk that the officer held up, spread it gently, and looked carefully. Then he meditated for a moment with a serious expression, sometimes nodding, sometimes shaking his head, and later his face gradually turned pale.

"Master, can't Haidu City send reinforcements?" The officer asked softly when he saw Li Dingguo's pale look.

Li Dingguo waved his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "This is not, but the strategy set by the emperor in the secret decree is really dangerous. If he wins, he will naturally destroy Wu Ni in one fell swoop. What if something happens in the middle? Alas, the emperor is young and energetic. Although it is a good move, it is also extremely dangerous."

The officer was confused when he heard this, but he also guessed the general's concerns and comforted him: "God blesses the Ming Dynasty, the emperor is the true dragon emperor. Since we have decided to annihilate the enemy, we will act according to the plan, so the general does not have to be too responsible.

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "Well, it's precisely this principle. The emperor is so talented that he is beyond our ability. Let's act according to the secret order. Let all the generals and follow the camp."

"Affect the order."
