Chapter 384 Decisive Battle!(1/2)
Chen Ergou's mission was quite smooth. According to Wang Rong's instructions, he used this gap to find out where the other party's nest was located. It was one and a half miles away, and the surrounding terrain also observed his experience.
...
On the ninth day, Wang Yun's troops were officially out of food and there was still some water left.
There is no big problem with temporarily cutting off food, as long as the water is constantly going to be. The water can last until tomorrow. If there is still no chance of it before tomorrow, it will retreat according to the planned plan.
During this period, Wang Rong asked the big-headed soldiers not to think too much, mainly to rest and maintain a combat state with appropriate slight movement of joints. Wang Rong himself did not know if he had a chance to fight this battle, but he was still developing tactics with Mu Guiying.
Let’s make it first, and even if you don’t need it, you will kick their butts and kill them in a place with few people. This is what Aunt Mu Guiying said.
Although it is still impossible to determine the specific number of people on the other side, based on the size of the mine cave in this area, the size of the entrance of the horse thief's stronghold reported by Chen Ergou, and the movements and stillness of their several movements, although these are not specific, Mu Guiying's analysis will not exceed 300 people, which is the limit and the worst plan.
Since the worst plan of the enemy was calculated, they assumed that one hundred people were left behind when they attacked, so they had a lot of intentions and had no intentions. General Mu Guiying confirmed for the first time that this tactic was feasible, without detours, and used strong attack methods to raid quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, surround and kill about one hundred horse thieves in the tunnel, and then wait for the return of external cavalry.
In this regard, Mu Guiying formally ordered a meeting of officers over ten generals.
The officers immediately surrounded and watched Mu Guiying draw a drawing of a simulated local mine on the ground.
The aunt pointed to the drawing and said, "Based on Ergou's past experience and the specific investigations of several nearby mines, the mines in this area are roughly the scale and form. The details of the horse thief stronghold are not sure, but these can be referenced or have differences, but they will remain unchanged. This will maintain the established tactics unchanged. Listen to the following, and this will be arranged as follows."
The officers nodded and listened.
Mu Guiying continued to point to the simulated map and said: "Based on the terrain and the mine situation, there must be mechanisms arranged by the Horse Thieves Army, but they are not important. Don't be scared. The mine conditions in this area determine that there will be no large-scale destruction mechanisms, only early warning mechanisms. Each of them will control their subordinates, formulate formations according to the book, maintain pace and rhythm, and advance steadily with shields. Don't care about the feet, don't care about others, even if they are injured or killed by the mechanism, the remaining people will continue to advance. Those who dare to destroy my tactics will never give up."
"Yes." The officers nodded one after another.
Mu Guiying continued: "The thief army in the cave must have torches. We do not need torches. Because we cannot identify the mechanism for a short time with torches. We just need to keep pace toward the bright place. Starting from the entrance of the cave and starting from the assault order, the front row holds shields to defend, second row and third row, and shoot in the enemy's direction, without aiming or seeing people. The purpose is to maintain effective remote suppression of frequency, make them panic, make them retreat, and try to prevent them from starting the mechanism within the cave."
"According to this, we will train our formation, continue to advance, second and third rows of guns are released, third and fourth rows are connected to suppress, and so on, forming a cycle and maintaining a wave-like attack. The real decisive battle will be siege and killing at the bottom of the tunnel when they are scared. At that time, we will take the lead."
After looking around, Mu Guiying said, "Did you understand everything? I'm asking questions now if I don't know."
"I understand." All officers stood at attention.
Mu Guiying waved his hand: "Each of them summoned their subordinates to implement tactical details and mobilize before the war. Although I can't determine whether I will fight, I am prepared for any incident. When the tactics are started, I will not re-order it. If you can't do it at that time, you will cut it down."
So they began to prepare...
Luck is a kind of strength, and Dalian's luck has not been used up yet.
On the tenth day, the horse team galloped again. After waiting for the established time, there was no second wave of horse thieves leaving the nest. At this point, the long signal in the Dalian system actually appeared.
"Let's attack, Chen Ergou stay by my side. If something happens, take me away. General Mu Guiying organizes a raid." Wang Yun issued a combat order.
So all the staff went out quickly and orderly, without supplies, and all the mother had drunk all the water, and now they were counting on going to the other party's nest to grab some food.
Since you are on the move, there is no way out and you don’t need to hide it. What you need is speed. Start running fast from half a mile. Even if you are not a cavalry, there are still a lot of movements when a hundred people run neatly.
At some point, two hundred steps away from the bandit stronghold, this time the big son was riding Aunt Mu Guiying. Two people carrying bows and arrows came out of the cave to check the movement.
When they saw a hundred hooligans coming to eat black, the two horse thieves changed their faces. At the same time, they quickly removed the bow and arrow on their backs while warning them.
bump
The big lun's flintlock rifle fired first, and one of the horse thieves shot the head one hundred and fifty steps away, while the other ran into the mine without time to shoot arrows.
"Sprint!"
Mu Guiying threw the big blind to Chen Ergou and issued the final sprint order.
Before the brigade of horse thieves reacted, Funing soldiers rushed to the entrance of the cave. Before they could enter, there was already chaos and movement inside, and cavalry were running, and they were approaching the entrance of the cave.
Mu Guiying ordered urgently: "Don't be busy with assaults. With their qualities and organizational discipline, they will not be activated and engaged in combat. Gather the fire and drive the first wave of cavalry back! A group of ten people, no need to aim, fire!"
Bump and bump
Smoky vine, ten guns in the first row opened fire.
It doesn't matter whether anyone inside was killed or not. Mu Guiying heard that the cavalry that was about to leave the cave was in chaos, and then seemed to have stopped the subsequent horse thieves from charging.
Mu Guiying said: "God helps me, and the assault officially begins according to the established tactics."
Next, the first ten-man team ran to the end and started to load the medicine. The rest, as Mu Guiying's earlier explanation, was like the Japanese entering the village, under the protection of the heavy shield in the front row, and he was furious and rushed into the tunnel.
Bump, bump
There were always gunfires of attacks.
Chen Ergou was with Wang Rong outside carrying an old gun, always listening to the movement inside, but he couldn't go in and fire the gun. He seemed very anxious and walked around.
The horse thieves from the northwest came and went without a trace, and they always had a fierce label. In terms of personal qualities, they were afraid that the thirty-many military power could be massacred by the Funing Army's 100 team. Unfortunately, they were also a mob. With the Funing Army's well-trained and tactical execution problems, the cavalry was restricted to the mine to fight to the decisive battle.
In fact, there is no tactic without any problem, but it is about correspondence. Of course, Wang Yun and Mu Guiying's tactics have loopholes. It is just that these mobs cannot find the corresponding method immediately in a hurry. So the mobs who are used to the free kite flying tactics will be restricted to the mine, and will not be transferred by anyone's will.
It is a bit exaggerating to say that there are zero casualties. In this battle, three soldiers of Funing Army stepped on and fell into the trap during the raid and injured their legs. The other two were injured by the other party's bows and arrows during the process.
However, when I pushed it to the bottom, I entered the state, and there were no more casualties and I was shot in line. So Dalian shamelessly regarded this as zero battle loss and annihilated 113 horse thieves.
The only living whistleblower left behind said that the number of people attacking horse thieves was slightly larger, about 150.
Next, clean the battlefield, make pockets, and after a slight adjustment, quickly deploy the next battle.
Five injured big-headed soldiers were dragged out, one of them had a pool of blood under his crotch. He covered the egg and shouted: "Wori... I'm done this time, I'm afraid the second brother will be gone, and I haven't even married yet."
Then he asked the big head soldier next to him and said, "You said you don't have eggs, will Qiuqiu still want me?"
Chen Ergou pulled his pants away and looked at it. Then he slapped him in the back of the head and said, "I didn't shoot the egg again, why are you calling me?"
"You are all lying to me, my eggs will definitely be gone." He still didn't dare to look at them by himself. He had been in love with Qiuqiu for two years and finally got a good job. He seemed to have the confidence to soak her, but he had no eggs.
Thinking of Qiuqiu's reaction, Chen Ergou slapped him again and pointed at him and said, "If there is no egg, why is it going to lift up?"
The soldier looked down with courage and saw that he was still there. So he quickly started to stop the bleeding and pulled his pants.
Wang Rong was also dizzy about this, but the people trained by Lao Ma were just so virtuous. This is why there was a political commissar like Di Yong to do ideological work for them. Ma Jinwei was a hooligan, but Di Yong was a standard soldier.
Shaking their heads and quickly trimming them, Wang Rong and Ergou began to observe the terrain and landform around to decide the next move.
It is not difficult to win, but to make them not miss any, you have to be careful.
If you can't fully annihilate after observation, Wang Rong will not fight, and it is the kingly way to take people to hide quickly.
Because it is impossible to determine whether it was Cao Shouyi who agreed to these horse thieves lurking in Suide County. If so, Cao Shouyi's cavalry was deployed in the not-far area. If one of the horse thieves was allowed to escape one, it would be troublesome. The group of infantry soldiers who had been hungry for a day in the Funing Army would easily be captured by Cao Shouyi before crossing the Dali River.
Thinking, quickly searching for observation around.
Not far from the horse thief stronghold, there is another small mine, which is not eye-catching.
After observing that time had passed a lot, Wang Yun hurriedly called Mu Guiying and told Mu Guiying about his general idea.
The aunt hesitated for a while and nodded, "It's a bit difficult, but theoretically it can be hit. This mine is about 700 away from the main battlefield stronghold. Our flintlock rifle is about 600 steps. With effective command, some people will attract the attention of the main force of the horse thief army, delay it until the ambush team quickly advances to the better killing distance of 350 steps to 400 steps, and conduct front and back attacks. This point may be achieved."
"How much do you have to be sure?" Wang Rong asked.
Mu Guiying frowned and hesitated for a moment, saying, "It's not difficult to win, but it's only half of the total annihilation. If the soldier's shooting skills are the same as you, and he has the chance to advance from the rear to within 300 steps, he can basically not miss the net."
"Want or not, we must decide now." Seeing Da Yun hesitate, Mu Guiying urged.
"I've beaten."
Wang Rong nodded and confirmed, and began to make the final deployment. He selected 60 soldiers with the best shooting skills to be the main ambush in Mine No. 2, led by Wang Rong and Mu Guiying themselves.
"Chen Ergou." Wang Rong said again.
Finally, Ergou stood up and said, "Yes."
Wang Rong said: "You bring forty people, including those injured, directly in a conspicuous place in front of the horse thief stronghold, waiting for the horse thief army to return. According to the details of General Mu Guiying's deployment, you will retreat while fighting and lead the thief into the cave. You cannot be confused. The reason why you lead the injured soldiers is not to let you sacrifice them, but to let the horse thief see that you have packages and casualties and boost their morale."
"Yes." Chen Ergou understood Dalian's combat intention.
Then, after Mu Guiying explained some details about Chen Ergou, he hid in the No. 2 stronghold with Dalian and the main force of the sixty people.
At some point, dust was flying in the distance, and more than a hundred horse thieves with pure riding skills were returning and quickly rushing to the stronghold. At about the time, the horse thieves found that there were many corpses lying outside their strongholds, and some unknown black thieves were transporting their wealth?
"Let go! That's grandpas!"
After seeing that this was a killing and robbing treasure, the horse thief army was furious. The leader led them to shout and whistle, raising the sabre and began to sprint.
Chen Ergou kicked the box next to him and ordered: "Don't panic, put down your things and maintain formation, and attack in waves."
It's a big fuss
The soldiers of the Funing Army who made a little panic moves reluctantly made four rows of formations, each row led by ten generals.
According to the range of the flintlock rifle and the acceleration of the horse thieves running head-on, theoretically, it can be shot at 700. However, in order to be more secure, Chen Ergou ordered until about 600: "Scam!"
Bump and bump
Smoke was everywhere, and after the first row of ten guns opened fire, they quickly retreated to the end and hurriedly started to charge the medicine.
"volley!"
The second row was connected to the fire, and then the medicine was taken back.
"volley!"
Understanding the rhythm of the aunt's order, Chen Ergou ordered again, bumping and bumping
According to Mu Guiying's instructions, it is not the purpose to resist and kill at this time. In fact, it is impossible to complete large-scale killing. It is really a big killing, so they ran away in a mobile state.
Only a small amount of damage can cause their madness without knowing fear and traps.
"volley!"
