Chapter 1055: Zou Shixue's Decision
And as long as there are no lives, the five-star army here will not be in charge, and they don't have enough troops to manage it, more than 8,000 people in the 7th Army Division, even if you add 15,000 people from the Vietnamese general Hong Jin, it is only a little more than 20,000, and in the face of hundreds of Han people who come every day, they are really powerless.
"General Hong, I have received a telegram, the matter of Siam City has been resolved, and now the Sixth Young Master is heading north with two main cavalry forces, we just need to stabilize, and when the Sixth Young Master arrives, everything will be fine." Tiance looked at the number of people in the shelter increasing every day, and he was a little worried, but his face showed no expression.
As a commander-in-chief, one of the most important things is to learn to calm down and ensure that no matter what the situation, you can not panic. As a veteran of a hundred battles, Tiance naturally knows the truth of this.
Hearing that the sixth young master was rushing towards Langshan with the elite cavalry, Hong Jin, who was originally very worried, also breathed a sigh of relief, "This is very good, in this way, I will immediately arrange for the army to send a group of people back first, otherwise the people in the shelter will accumulate more and more, and sooner or later there will be problems." ”
Arrange for the army to send people, and pass through the Langshan rainforest, which means that the troops need to be divided, and Tiance, who was originally short of troops, heard about it, but still did not object, and agreed and said: "Okay, General Hong will look at the arrangement." ”
In this way, the original insufficient Five-Star Army was diverted out of 3,000 people, and all the troops left in Langshan were only in the early 20,000s, but the number of people who were contained here was still nearly 50,000, and new people rushed over every day, at this rate, I am afraid that the pressure will only get bigger and bigger. What Tiance didn't expect was that among the nearly 50,000 people, there were also 3,000 elite soldiers sent by Zhu Huiyan, the king of Guangtong, who disguised themselves as ordinary people, scattered and stunned, and did not attract the attention of others in the chaotic situation.
It wasn't until the night of the appointment that these people began to gather in a planned way, and the organic ones had already figured out the way and time of the five-star army's change of guard.
Considering the limited number of troops, the division commander Tiance adopted the method of stationing Leng Feng and the Vietnamese army together. Rotate every three hours, four shifts a day, a battalion of cold fronts, a thousand Vietnamese troops.
The Vietnamese army was mainly responsible for the order and security of the shelter, and Leng Feng was responsible for defending the perimeter to prevent the army of King Minh Minh and the Bengal army from burning out their brains to attack them.
At this point, the division commander Tiance and General Hong Jin still reached an agreement, they did not think that the opponent had the courage to provoke themselves. Just to be on the safe side, they did the basic defenses.
As soon as the evening arrived (that is, from 21 o'clock to 23 o'clock), battalion commander Zou Shixue brought 400 officers and men of one of his battalions to change guards, and then they would be responsible for perimeter security for three hours, that is, six hours, and at that time, the sky would already be bright.
It was November, and even in the south, it was very cold in the morning and evening, and when the fighters arrived at their positions, they quickly quieted down, and in order to conserve the heat in their bodies, even few people spoke.
Just after Battalion Commander Zou began to change guards, Zhu Jian also began to gather 3,000 men to prepare for a counterattack. According to the previous plan of King Guangtong, they decided to launch a surprise attack at ten miles in the night, leaving them less than half an hour.
Zhu Jian is Zhu Huixuan's favorite subordinate, and this time he gave him such an important task. General Zhu also wanted to take this opportunity to show his skills, and when he gathered his subordinates, he called a few small leaders and ordered, "After a while, we will first deal with the 1,000 Vietnamese army, their strength is average, and it is not difficult to deal with, and then set fire everywhere, and then you 500 people and I will deal with the five-star army of that battalion, hehe, they have enviable firearms in their hands, once we can get one, we have made a great contribution, the more we get, the greater the credit, understand?" ”
"Please rest assured, General Zhu, we will know how to do it." The faces of several small leaders flashed with smugness, and then they sneered one by one, feeling that the trick was about to succeed.
Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that there was still a quarter of an hour to reach the agreed time to launch a general attack, Zhu Jian made a gesture to start the operation, and the three thousand elite soldiers each took out the weapons hidden on their bodies and touched the 1,000 Vietnamese troops on the periphery in the dark.
How did a thousand Vietnamese soldiers know that such a thing would happen, some people were still leaning on the big trees and were closing their eyes to recuperate, their mouths were covered with coldness, and then there was a pain in their necks, and the strength of the whole body began to flow rapidly, and blood also flowed out.
This scene happened in many places, an unsuspecting Vietnamese soldier was attacked and killed, in order to cover up the bloody atmosphere, and in order to block the rush of the Five Star Army, the fire began to be ignited all over the shelter, and then the sky turned red when the fire reflected in the sky.
"Haha, Zhu Jian, they have already started to act, and they ordered the whole army to attack." On the periphery of Langshan, Zhu Huixuan, the king of Guangtong, who was waiting here with a large army, had a smug glint in his eyes, and then issued an order to attack the army, and at the same time, he also said to General Rajiv on the side: "This time it depends on your cavalry." ”
"Well said. We have 20,000 cavalry, enough to level any opponent's formation. Rajiv said proudly, he also has such confidence. After all, cavalry always has a natural advantage over infantry.
In this way, the horses' hooves stomped on the ground, and the rumbling sound sounded on the ground, and in the darkness, the blackened enemy rushed towards the Lang Son asylum.
The moment the fire broke out behind him, the battalion commander Zou Shixue knew that something was wrong, and several company commanders under him also ordered the battle to ask for a counterattack, but he felt that things would not be so simple, was it as simple as just burning a few fires behind him?
Thinking that there were 300,000 enemy coalition troops on his side, Zou Shixue decisively gave up the plan to turn around and extinguish the fire, but ordered all the soldiers to cheer up and concentrate to prevent the enemy from breaking through from the front.
Zou Shixue's prediction was very correct, and soon he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and his intuition told him that the number of cavalry coming from the opposite side would not be too small, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that there were thousands of troops and horses, so he shouted loudly at the moment, "Everyone take out their grenades, and once the enemy is too close, fight with them." ”
The musket is still a little too little of a threat to the cavalry, after all, the speed of the war horse is too fast, maybe you can't fire a few shots at all, and the enemy will kill you. Only a killer weapon like a grenade can stop the enemy for a moment, and of course, this is also a very heavy price.
It's just that at this moment, Zou Shixue has long put his personal life and death aside, and what he is thinking about now is how to buy time to buy enough time for the retreat of the army and the shelter behind him. As for their own battalion, even if fate chooses them, they are resigned to fate.
When the order was given, all the four hundred soldiers of a battalion were in full spirit, and then they looked forward with dark faces, and at this moment their hands holding the muskets tighter, and their eyes were much deeper.
At this moment, the four hundred fighters already knew what the battalion commander represented when he did not give the order to retreat, but not a single one of them came out to blame. Even if they chose to join Leng Feng, they must be ready to face death at any time, which was originally the oath they made the moment they joined the army.
"Family, relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms say goodbye, I believe you will definitely avenge us."
"Hit!" With the faint moon, he noticed that a black shadow was getting closer and closer to him, and the battalion commander Zou Shixue immediately gave the order to shoot. The soldiers of the first battalion of cold fronts with the heart of death sprayed out of the muskets at this moment, and at this moment they no longer cared about aiming at the opponent, nor did they care about saving bullets. At this moment, there was only the sound of continuous gunfire, and streamers flashed out one after another, shooting at the approaching enemy.
In the rear barracks, the fire in front of the fire had already faintly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the division commander Tiance and the Vietnamese general Hong Kim all walked out of their camp tents.
"It's not good, the enemy really launched an attack, General Hong, you quickly divide the people into two parts, one part of the people will take away the supplies, grain and grass, and the other part will rush to the shelter, you can bring as many people as you can, if the grain and grass that can't be taken away are burned on the spot, it must not be left to the opponent. The soldiers of the other seven divisions went with me. Tiance was silent for a few breaths, and then made a series of military deployments.
"Heavenly Master, you can withdraw with us." Hong Jin's face said with a little anxiety, everyone knows that staying at this moment to fight the enemy will definitely be sacrificed. Leng Feng is a treasure.
"General Hong doesn't need to be persuasive, what I said just now is a military order, please carry it out." While talking, Tiance had already taken the holster from the guard's hand and hung it on his body, and then rushed forward with the main force of the Seventh Division.
Tiance's first goal was not to put out the fire, because at this time, the fire was so big that it was out of control, and what he was thinking about now was to pick up the battalion responsible for defending the periphery, which was four hundred Leng Feng brothers.
It's just that the soldiers of the Seventh Division have just rushed forward a few hundred meters when a roaring explosion comes to their ears. From afar, the fires were shining one after another. Seeing this, the Tiance Master couldn't help but slam his fist into a big tree beside him, with an angry look on his face.
The fire flashed, and as a cold front soldier, he naturally knew why such a thing happened, and it must have been a movement caused by the grenade being ignited. Considering that the attack range of this object is limited, doesn't it mean that the comrades in front of you have already come into close contact with the enemy?
