Chapter 364 Yu Lan
"The Nanbo is catching up again..."
The lament and cry like a shrill night owl resounded through the crowd of northern soldiers who were rushing to the throne after the wolf was running, sitting or lying on the ground to rest and breathe, and biting the grass roots or cowhide belts.
Most of them were covered in dust, with ragged robes, and their faces were full of panic and shock. The flags and weapons they belonged to were also lost.
It is just that we will temporarily gather together to protect ourselves according to the level of the military rank. After all, this northern land has become a battlefield full of wars. As a remnant of defeat, the road to escape may not be easy.
The gray-green human wall front, with the sharp spikes on the long guns, and the drums were beating the drums, and they slowly came from the end of the field. They forced their fatigue and weakness, tried to get themselves up, and according to their respective expertise, they hurriedly formed several groups of simple self-protection battle formations in a short period of time.
But these Southern Army stopped and then rows of smoke rose.
The first thing to welcome these remnants of Northern Army brigades were rows of scorching projectiles, and blood was splashing like raindrops, spraying one after another among the dense crowds.
It quickly harvested their lives and fighting spirit like a dense comb that had passed through the crowd, and then they had to shrink and gather together more densely.
But what appeared immediately was a team of cavalry that quickly bypassed the Southern Army's gun teams in the flying dust, and suddenly appeared.
On the side of the Northern Army, they pulled out a long line and suddenly stopped the horse. A series of hand guns were facing each other, and the front row was rolling all over the ground, and then they changed to melee weapons again.
However, these light cavalry wearing double feather hats and helmets obviously only have simple protection. They do not use thick short flag spears or long poles and spears commonly used by the horse army. They hold a slightly curved thin blade and long sword, holding the reins and leaning against the horse's neck and tilt upwards until the last moment they face the enemy, and suddenly become a forward-stinging posture with a slant downward.
At this time, a certain horn sounded in the horse team again, as if a certain killing switch was turned on. The figures sitting on the horse's back leaned forward and leaned down, and only saw
The loud shouts of shouting and waving, like a group of gulls and birds passing by the sea, or like a large group of flying fish jumping out of the tide and waves.
From the edge of the enemy formation that was hastily formed a group, I shaved it with continuous blade lights, and saw the rising and falling of human heads and broken limbs, along with the broken and knocked weapons.
Wherever they passed, the enemies that faced them were either fleeing in scattered or almost all were cut short.
After the spears were scrambling and reciprocating several times, the enemy's formation that was trying to fight against each other shrank a lot, but found that he had been exposed again to the sight and range of the Southern Dynasties gunmen approaching.
Some people also regained their despair and fearlessness, shouted their comrades, took the three rows of densely fired and loaded the bullets, and then suddenly rushed back, and then were covered by the rain of bullets from the waiting fourth row,
When the remaining survivors survived this sparse rain of bullets and rushed to the front of the gun army, they were exposed by several groups of cross-covered guns, and were almost spared.
When he saw the horse-drawn cannon carts appear on the edge of the battlefield, with the thick smoke from the cannons, several bloody flowers exploded among the remaining crowds, the remaining northern soldiers also threw down their weapons in despair and helplessness, raised their hands and knelt on the ground, shouting loudly for words to surrender and beg for mercy.
After the defeat of Weishan Lake, the last remnant of the Northern Army, which was gathered together according to class and convention, and tried to reorganize the military power, was declared destroyed.
Zhang Xian, who was standing in the cannon carts and gun army, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Since he was an elite brigade of the Northern Dynasties, even if he was disbanded after his defeat, he still had considerable military literacy and organization.
If you fail to do your best and wait for a moment to breathe, you will spontaneously move closer and join in, becoming a new obstacle and resistance.
According to the adult's words and instructions, the battle was quite arduous, so this was an enemy who had fully fought with the gun weapon battle formation and had a lot of experience and experience.
If they cannot take advantage of the victory and completely destroy their remaining system and courage together, they will inevitably have an experienced and powerful opponent in the future.
We must pursue them at all costs, even if we run away, we must keep them as much as possible. Therefore, the task of chasing the death and chasing the north after this war was not as easy and easy as usual.
After the soldiers fought hard, they were exhausted after working hard. They were all driven by the momentum of victory, and supported the last bit of spirit, and were able to win a little in the battle of will.
On the banks of Weishan Lake, I am taking stock of my gains after the war, although this battle is the hardest and most thrilling battle I have ever fought since I went out of the battle.
But it was also a great achievement, especially after looting and evacuating the Shenji Army's camp, in addition to the usual gunpowder, fuel, equipment, and weapons.
I obtained at least three large-scale observation floating boats (hot air balloons) with field artillery sets and accessories. Under the name of the artillery regiment commanded by Guo Pharmacist, I finally had a veritable cannon.
As for those small cannons that can only be used as pounds, they will be handed over to the Model Corps, the Teaching Team and the Special Vehicle Group as horse-drawn cannon trucks or load-mounted motorized equipment.
The smaller-numbered rotor cannons are equipped downwards into the first to third battalions of the main battle sequence. Although each battalion does not exceed seven or eight, at best, it is only half a team, but it is enough to strengthen certain attacks and suppress forces.
In addition, there are a large number of standard vehicles for various purposes and various spare parts for supporting them, so that our car array and artillery team have them.
The biggest harvest in the Northern Army camp was not the weapons or supplies that were enough to arm one or two armies, but the large amount of animal power in stock during the period. You should know that compared with the Southern Dynasty, where horses were rare, as a first-class unit of the Northern Dynasty, the military and horse epidemic rate was quite high.
This way, with existing vehicles and other vehicles, it can provide transportation and rotational rest for at least half of our soldiers during the journey.
It took me a whole day to gather all the scattered subordinates back, and it took me a whole day to add up the disabled friendly forces, and to arrange the extra soldiers, and to spend more than one day.
At this time, Shuaisi's order was delivered with the rewards.
Almost accustomed to most of my fait accompli, and announced that it had once again expanded the scope and authority of my "command of the North Defense Command". The other seven military numbers that returned were all classified under my official jurisdiction.
Of course, most of them are short-term troops with serious lack of organization. In this way, I temporarily obtained the right wing of the new army, and the horse army's recruitment power. In theory, as a unit with complete military services, the missing last link was also filled.
Then, I quickly moved closer to Xuzhou, carried out on-site rest and supply, and sent troops to search to cross the other troops of the Hebei Army.
According to the current military information provided by the Shuaisi, in addition to the large troops I defeated, there are at least two or three northern soldiers with military numbers in Xuzhou. Their destination is currently unknown.
Therefore, you must never slackew or neglect.
"So, I'm sure..."
To the west of Yanzhou, above the vast field, in a vast array of marching, Zhang Shuye, the deputy envoy of Hebei Travel and Taiwan, also confirmed a certain result again.
"Are the Pinghai Army and Shengwei Guards from Andong no longer built..."
In his words, Xiao Shu and sighed in his mind. When did things actually become like this?
Since he was unable to catch up with the Xuzhou defense war, as a follow-up alternative solution made by the eastern station of Hebei, he specially planned a counterattack plan involving more than a dozen military orders, with as many as 110,000 troops rushing to cross Henan.
Although the local guards led by Zhang Shuye worked hard to coordinate due to command and coordination, due to various accidents and emergencies, the ownership and command sequence of each army have emerged one after another. In the end, there were only more than 80,000 troops who successfully crossed the river.
Among them, one of the losses lost by the failed landing in Yunzhou was eliminated, and at least more than 20,000 people were isolated to the west by Yunzhou. This was also the first variable encountered by the Hebei Army Group after crossing the river.
Therefore, as a front-line leader, Zhang Shuye had only 50,000 or 60,000 troops in his hands, but he was not angry. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to acquire the remnants of local Henan and Huaibei soldiers and strengthen the lineup.
He also subdued the powerful local forces and the armed forces of the land unit, making them the front drive and guide, avoiding the lack of geographical advantages of the passenger army to the greatest extent, and also used all the things to do, driving attacks and nuisances of the rear and food roads of the Southern Army, making them unable to look at each other and heard the alarm day and night and were shocked.
Then, in the smoke and shocking sounds, they plan to plan and move the movements, and do not dare to act rashly in the southern army that had not had time to react for a while, but were trapped in various places, and they were trapped in the field or defeated the field battles, or even between the trap and the lonely base, and did not dare to act rashly.
With more than half of the troops less than expected, he still made a huge situation in a vivid way, and gradually moved back to the predetermined target - Pengcheng.
But just like God's will, it was a variable that once again played a role. The troops stayed in Yunzhou once again defeated the second and third-tier troops who followed the river, and reunited the Southern Army, trapped and guarded, followed again.
Zhang Shuye made another decision because the left wing of this new army was said to be equipped with a large number of firearms, and it was known as the best brigade in the field defense, not to mention that there were many troops along the way.
Therefore, the original plan was to let the left army of Pinghai be specifically responsible for blocking and delaying this unit, but unexpectedly, Yang Cunzhong, the always loyal and reliable commander, actually crossed the central army and asked for help from Xianghou's neighbors without authorization, and a decisive battle broke out with the Southern Army.
These three groups went south to serve the king and were included in the Andong army under the Hebei Xingtai. Although they had various problems in military discipline and customs, they were still willing to act as orders as a whole. They did not expect that this time they actually left alone and made an irreversible big mistake.
Although Yang Cunzhong has already been in the enemy's mortality, his actions have brought extremely serious consequences and damage to Zhang Shuye's overall plan and great situation.
If he loses the two armies and one guards that block the enemy by himself, he will have less than half of the remaining armed forces.
Therefore, he had to give up. The Pengcheng strategy, which was only one step short, spread the news of the collapse of the three armies of Pinghai and was attacked from both sides of the city. Before the evolution of the city, he sacrificed a small number of troops to make a strong attack and threatening attitude, quickly broke away from the contact between Bianshui, and adopted another alternative strategy and goal.
After all, he had considered the worst case and prepared for it, at least this was not the most sinister situation, and his men still had the potential to do it.
He said in his heart, to himself.
Just like when he had just stepped out of the battle, he entered Lianyun Village in the Taihang Mountains alone, persuaded surrender and recruited five local hills, and then had his first team.
He is not that susceptible to setbacks and blows.
