Chapter 333: The Qing Army's Night Attack

Ao Bai sent twelve Baijia Bayala scout cavalry to spy on the military situation a stone's throw away from the Ming army's camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the camp of the Ming army, Zhao Xingde, a sharpshooter hiding in a tent, looked at the wandering Qing soldiers outside, about one hundred and twenty steps away from the Qing soldiers from his position, and the rifled gun with a scope in his hand could easily snipe the white-armored Ba Yala who was running outside.

Zhao Xingde's heart was itching, he aimed at the head of a white-armored soldier, and he couldn't wait to pull the trigger. With a flick of the trigger, the white-armored soldier would be transformed into a corpse. You must know that it is Baijia Ba Yala! For snipers, sniping a white-armored bayala is counted as five merit points.

Sharpshooters like Zhao Xingde, who use rifled guns with scopes, kill ordinary minions, although the number of enemies killed is also counted, but it takes ten ordinary minions to kill a little merit point. If you snipe a chief, you will count one merit point, snipe a general, calculate two merit points, and snipe a thousand general, calculate three merit points. Sniping a white-armored soldier is equivalent to sniping a garrison.

But the above ordered them not to shoot without authorization, Zhao Xingde could only look at the white-armored soldiers outside and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if the white-armored soldiers outside were gold and silver treasures, but he couldn't rob them.

The reason why Wang Yuyou did not allow the sharpshooters to shoot at the Qing scouts outside was to confuse the Qing army, deliberately hide their strength, and lure the Qing army to attack.

Twelve Qing spies ran around twice outside the Ming camp, and found that no one rushed out or fired at them, so some of them became more bold and rushed within fifty paces.

But now the Ming army is not polite to that guy, who let you get so close?

Several gunshots rang out in the camp of the Ming army, and blood holes appeared in the body of the Baijia Bayara, who was too close, and the blood mist spewed out was intertwined with the rain and mist, and he fell from the horse on his back.

"How can a thief's firearm still be used?" The white-armored soldiers who didn't get too close to each other outside looked at each other.

One of the leaders said: "The thieves are hiding in the tent, there is a tent to protect from the rain, of course firearms can be used!" However, as long as it rained for three or five days, the inside of the thieves' barracks was soaked, and the gunpowder was damp, and the natural firearms could no longer be used. ”

After Ao Bai came to Yuezhou, he was ready to take advantage of the heavy rain to attack, but after he saw the camp of the Ming army, he dispelled this idea, because the camp of the Ming army was neat and tidy, and the firearms were under the protection of tents, and they could definitely be used, so Ao Bai had to wait, and when it rained for a few days, the firearms of the Ming army would lose their effect.

It rained all day, and it was a little lighter in the evening, but the rain in the sky still kept falling, as if the sky was leaking.

In the middle of the night, Ao Bai went up to the city again, observed the Ming army camp, and found that the camp was still brightly lit! Although it was a rainy day, in addition to hanging a lot of lights, the Ming army also erected a kind of shed, in which a bonfire was lit. This made Ao Bai very surprised: what is the matter with the lamp in such a heavy rain? Also, if you light a bonfire in the shed, won't it burn down the roof?

Because of the distance, Ao Bai couldn't see what was going on. In fact, the lamps that hang out are all glass-covered horse lanterns, and as for the kind of small shed that is set up and lit with a bonfire inside, the roof of the shed is iron, so it will not be burned out.

The next morning, there was a brief pause in the rain, but it soon fell to moderate again. By noon, Shi Lang's sailors arrived in Yuezhou with 30,000 Qing infantry.

"General Shi is here! Prince Kang is here too! The prefect of the city took people out of the city to greet him.

Either Ao Bai and Yue Le were of a higher level than Shi Lang and Prince Kang Jieshu, so it was naturally impossible for them to go out of the city to greet them.

Shi Lang and Jie Shu entered the city, and after arriving at the prefect's yamen, which was the camp of the Chinese army, the two met Aobai.

"People are angry!" Ao Bai touched his beard and nodded, "Now we have a total of 50,000 soldiers, 10,000 sailors, 30,000 auxiliary soldiers, 50,000 Xiangyong, 40,000 Minzhuang, and 180,000 people!" Although most of them are rabble, if we can command it well and take advantage of the rainy weather, we still have a chance to win by surprise! ”

Ao Bai knew very well in his heart that only 50,000 soldiers could use 180,000 horses, and even the sailors could not play a big role if they went ashore, and the remaining 120,000 people were even more rabble. It is said that Xiang Yong fought very bravely, but there was no training, and if he was pulled out to fight people, he would be sent to death in vain.

"Xiangye!" Less than Jackie Chan made a salute, "According to the students' observation of the sky, it will rain for about three days." The night after tomorrow, the rain will gradually subside. In the student's view, we can go to the camp the night after tomorrow! ”

"Stealing camps? The thieves stay up all night and the lights are on, how do we steal the camp? Ao Bai sneered. He looked down on these scholars when it came to war. If you play conspiracy and trickery, the reader has two tricks, but in terms of tactics, the reader can't do it at all. Remembering that when he was outside the Guan, some of the strategies offered by Fan Wencheng, as long as they were related to tactics, Huang Taiji would not adopt any of them, but in terms of government affairs or intrigues, scholars are really powerful.

Fighting a war is a matter for martial artists, so don't mix it up blindly if you read.

Yue Le said: "Master, Xiao Wang thinks that what Zhenjia said is very reasonable!" Although the thieves stayed up all night and the lights were bright, we couldn't steal the camp, but we could fight openly! As long as Zhenjia is not wrong in observing the celestial phenomena, we will attack the night after tomorrow. It had rained for so many days, and the outer defense of Minggou's barracks was also damaged, the earthen walls and ditches must have been softened, and the wooden stakes laid were not strong, and the wall was easy to collapse. On top of that, Minggou's gunpowder may get wet, and the ground inside the tent is full of water, which is not conducive to the use of firearms. ”

"Attack while it's raining, it's doable!" Ao Bai agreed with Yue Le's proposal.

Two days later, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the heavy rain fell, and the Qing army opened the gate of Yuezhou, and a total of 50,000 soldiers and 100,000 rabble walked out of the city and approached the Ming army camp.

Although Ao Bai decided to prepare for a strong attack, after the Qing army left the city, it was still tied up with horses, extinguished torches, and wrapped the horses' hooves in cloth, quietly approaching the Ming army camp, and waited until it was close to the range of the Ming army's fire, and then launched an attack, so as to reduce the reaction time of the Ming army as much as possible.

Because the Ming army was powerful in firearms, if the Ming army was given time to react, the Ming army could enter a circle of tents on the periphery and shoot the Qing army with firearms. If the reaction time of the Ming army is shortened, even if the Ming army reacts, it will not have time to enter the tent to discharge the formation of firearms shooting, and can only fight in the rain, so the firearms of the Ming army will lose their effect.
