Chapter 519: The ambush under the city of Yinglou

It seems to be an instinct, when people encounter an emergency, the first thought is to run. And if you have to describe it, then you have to add one word in front of this running word, which is chaos.

That's right, it's running around.

Perhaps only by doing this will they feel at ease, and as long as they keep exercising, they will feel safer and know that they are still alive.

But they didn't know that there were 3,000 mines buried around them. Although the number is not too much, at least it is much less than Yang Chendong buried 10,000 at a time when he dealt with Ruan Yongyang in the Langshan rainforest. But here in the dark of night, under the sudden blow, when the three thousand scattered mines are stepped on by someone, the shock can be very strong.

"Boom, boom... Boom Boom Boom"

The explosions were endless, the flames were everywhere, the blood was spilling, the corpses were scattered...

When everything appears, it is like a purgatory on earth, and human life has become the most worthless existence.

A captain in the army who was lucky enough not to be affected by the war, on the premise that he could not find General Latty, he was an ostrich under the protection of his own soldiers, and at the same time sent people to Yinglou City, forty miles away, to ask for help.

In terms of the number of troops, there are more here, but anyone can see that under the sudden blow, their morale is already confused, and their morale is low, pointing to such an army There is no need to think about winning any battle. And if there are reinforcements that can appear, it may be like a booster to boost the morale of these soldiers, and then it may be possible to turn the situation around.

Thinking about the news I got before, it was the mercenaries who sent troops from the Changshan Mountain Range, and they went to Xiyu City to confront the army of the King of Jiaozhi, and they wanted to divide their troops around, there should not be many enemies among them, and maybe there was a chance to turn defeat into victory.

But the captain didn't know that his actions were not to save the defeat, but to bury the last bit of hope.

The war continued, the gunfire continued, and under the drizzle, there were still many soldiers of the Lancang Kingdom who were hit and fell to the ground, losing their breath of life. From time to time, some people will step on a landmine because they are afraid of running around, not only paying for their own lives, but also dying along with their comrades-in-arms.

In such a chaotic situation, it seems that there are enemies everywhere and there is no security anywhere. Even the five thousand so-called elite marksmen have no combat effectiveness at all under such a general trend. In the darkness, they could only see tongues of fire with flames around them, but they couldn't see where the enemy was. Whenever they wanted to go over and see what was going on, there were often bullets piercing through their bodies before they could get over, causing them to fall one by one on the path of temptation.

After several successive times, after throwing down nearly five hundred corpses, they became much more honest, and did not dare to test anything lightly, but changed from standing to lying down one by one, because they found that once they did, their safety was more assured, because the bullets of those muskets would not "take care" of them.

This discovery made more soldiers of the Lancang Kingdom see the hope of life, so less than half an hour later, all the soldiers who were alive changed from standing to lying down, and they were too honest to do it, so the external environment became much quieter from the sound of gunfire. Unless someone wants to run away for a long time, it will attract a few gunshots, but most of the time it is quiet.

Although it is not easy to lie on the ground at this time, and many people have been soaked by rain or even leakage, it is certainly a good result compared to the loss of life.

"Battalion commander, they're all lying down and not moving." Feeling the swaying figure in his sight began to decrease, until it was almost gone, an officer reported to Chen Bo.

"Well, isn't that what we want to see? Tell the soldiers, don't waste bullets at will, as long as they don't move, we won't move, and when dawn is the time to reap the fruits of victory, it's up to Chunyang and Company Commander Xu to them. Chen Bo said quietly, but if you listen carefully, you can still hear the sense of relaxation in his tone.

Although it was well planned, an ambush was carried out in this place three days in advance. But until he saw the results, his heart hung all along. Now that there is finally a result, which is still a good result, it is no wonder that his mood can be much more relaxed.

......

Win the city.

As a temporary resting place for reinforcements from the Lancang Kingdom, it was once very safe. Even if General Lati led the troops to take away the main force, there were still 5,000 Lancang soldiers and 2,000 Jiaozhi soldiers here.

A city with less than 40,000 permanent residents has 7,000 soldiers, which is already a very high proportion. This also means that the people here have not been affected too much by the war in the outside world. Even if there is news that the capital of their country has been occupied by the army called mercenaries.

Because it was also reported that the king of Le Le was mobilizing a heavy army for a counterattack. In addition, seeing that Lancang sent 100,000 troops to be stationed in this city, there was nothing to be afraid of. Not to mention that mercenary is only a little over 10,000 people.

The people were not afraid, and even more so the soldiers. Especially after General Lati led the 95,000 troops to the expedition, the 7,000 soldiers who stayed here lived like an uncle, in addition to closing the city gate to prevent accidents, they would eat and sleep in addition to eating and sleeping these days, and occasionally get together to gamble a few handfuls, and their lives were not too good.

In fact, the 5,000 people left behind are not high in their own combat power, and they are the weakest existence among the 100,000 people, so they have no military discipline at all, and they also know that the other soldiers have followed the general to make meritorious contributions, and only they stayed, who were originally outcasts. In addition, there has been a light rain in the past few days, so it is really pleasant to drink a little wine, sleep well, and gamble a little money.

It's just that this "good" life was quickly disrupted. News came from the front, saying that because the mercenaries suddenly launched an attack from the Changshan Mountains to the inner border of the Lancang Kingdom, General Lati would not help the Jiaozhi Kingdom in the war, but would return to his own country. And he may return to the city today, and the good days will not come to an end?

The general was coming back, and one by one the soldiers put away their playful attitudes, cleaned the barracks, prepared to eat, and for a whole day, five thousand people were busy. And just when they were almost ready for everything, suddenly a cavalryman of their own came from under the city gate, and came the unbelievable news that their general Lati and nearly 100,000 troops had been ambushed, dealt a blow and suffered heavy losses.

As soon as the news came out, many people didn't believe it, if it weren't for the fact that the cavalryman who came was still a commander, and he was indeed his own person, I am afraid that some soldiers would doubt the authenticity of this news.

"Hurry up, the army is still fighting the enemy and needs your help now." The commander shouted loudly from the city. As if he was afraid that those people would delay the war, he also shouted with the method of agitation: "Aren't you still regretting that you can't go out with the army this time and won't get military merits?" Now the credit is in front of you, dare not fight for it. ”

The commander was still shouting, using his own methods to stimulate the five thousand Lancang soldiers who stayed behind. And on the ground about two hundred meters away from him, several figures were lying there closely watching all this.

Although it was still raining, the land was already muddy. There are even mosquitoes that fly around in front of their faces, looking for an opportunity to bite them from time to time. But these black shadows just lay there motionless, like statues.

Who can be so unaffected by external factors and have such iron-clad discipline that they are not the most elite cold front fighters?

In fact, on the land outside the east gate of Yinglou City, there were two hundred such black shadows. They consisted of fighters from the reconnaissance company directly under the 2nd Regiment and the 1st Company of the 2nd Battalion.

They arrived when it was dark. Under the cover of the rainy night, they slowly moved outside the city gate in a crawling manner, and then each found a favorable terrain and lurked. At the closest place outside the East City Gate, the few figures lying on their stomachs were the commanders of this two-hundred-man force. They were Xu Yunsheng, commander of the reconnaissance company, and Changchun Yang, the first company of the second battalion.

The two of them were given the order to take the city and destroy all the 7,000 enemies in the city. Even if Chen Bo made a military order in front of Yang Chendong, saying that he wanted to annihilate the 100,000 troops of the Lancang Kingdom, then the 5,000 Lancang soldiers who stayed in the city would naturally be destroyed, otherwise wouldn't it be imperfect?

It's just that with 200 people to 7,000 people, the disparity is still too great. In order to accomplish this task. Chen Bo transferred all the two bazookas standing in the second battalion to the first company Chang Yang, as well as two squad machine guns.

This is the treasure of the second battalion, and only the most elite Leng Feng is equipped with such a good thing. Now that all of them have been given to the first company, this is the only place where Chen Pi, as the battalion commander, can support them.

When the two bazookas and two squad machine guns were in their hands, Chunyang also made a military order in front of Battalion Commander Chen Bo to ensure the completion of the task. Speaking of which, the two hundred of them had to face only the two thousand Jiaozhi troops in Yinglou City, and with the addition of mental calculation and unintentionality, the task of having such firepower was not very difficult to complete.

At this moment, the company commander of Chunyang, who was under the city tower, was discussing the battle plan with the company commander Xu Yunsheng.
