Chapter 226: Ambush

The voices coming from the south were getting louder and louder. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Xuan soldiers in the outpost looked at each other when they listened, and an officer sighed, "It seems that the firepower of the mobile unit is very fierce." ”

"This is natural, we lack cavalry, if we want to defeat the same or even more than the number of enemy attack troops in a short period of time, we can only rely on strong firepower, I analyze, it should be all the firepower directly under which brigade."

The sound of various firearms was mixed together, with a shocking effect, and they kept approaching, and everyone knew that reinforcements were not far away.

Sure enough, in less than two minutes, to the sound of drums, the mobile troops of the Xuan Army appeared in the sight of the garrison of Post 3 with neat steps.

Judging from the flying flags, the number of mobile troops that came to reinforce Post No. 3 was about 1,000 men, and they were two squadrons belonging to the Fifth Mixed Group, numbered the 13th Squadron and the 5th Squadron.

The three companies of the 13th Squadron were constantly alternating, firing, and advancing, like a wall of firepower, preventing the enemy from approaching, and then the heavy fire of the squadron and the heavy fire of the 5th Squadron were constantly clearing all possible hiding places of the enemy from the left and right. Constantly compressing the enemy's space for movement.

The outflanking troops of the Houjin Army, which had already lost troops at Post 3, were soon discouraged by the powerful firepower of the mobile troops, and all the enemy troops were forced to surrender except for the dozens of people guarding the horses.

The commander of the mobile unit, a major, came to the outpost after ordering the troops to clean up the battlefield and tie up the prisoners.

"Who's in charge here?"

The commander of the 9th company immediately couldn't run, and immediately saluted, "The person in charge of the No. 3 outpost, Dongfeng Dongfeng, the commander of the 9th company of the second brigade, reports to you." ”

The major didn't talk nonsense, and directly ordered, "Hurry up and gather your team and prepare to retreat." ”

"Yes"

The commander of the 9th company turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the major again, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing, from now on, the garrison of the 3 good post will temporarily be under the command of the mobile force, and after returning to the battalion after the battle, the formation will be restored." ”

As he spoke, he handed over an order issued by the command, which was exactly what the major had just announced.

After reading the order and confirming the authenticity, the commander of the 9th company happily agreed "yes".

This is completely in line with the combat regulations of the Xuan Army, not to mention the official order of the Xuan Army Headquarters, so the commander of the 9th Company did not hesitate to turn around and go to assemble the team.

"Gather all of you, clean up the battlefield, especially our bullet casings, which are copper, very valuable, and can be reused, give me a single one to pick up."

The major looked at the commander of the 9th company speechlessly, and complained in his heart, "Is this guy the reincarnation of an iron rooster?" However, thinking that the enemy was still far away from here, he didn't rush, turned around and went out of the post to check on the situation of the troops outside cleaning the battlefield.

More than half an hour later, when the enemy's more than 3,000 cavalry arrived, the Xuan army even picked up the copper bullet casings that fell to the ground during the battle, and the dead body of the Houjin army was revealed, where there was a shadow of half a living person.

A bearded Jurchen officer asked with a gloomy face, "Did the sentry follow?" ”

"Master, the minions have sent people to follow, the first batch of spies have reported, the number of enemy troops is about 1,000 or more, but there are less than 200 cavalry, the rest are all infantry, and they are fleeing towards the camp of the Xuan army in the south."

"Very good, give an order to the whole army, keep up, and be sure to complete the commander's order,"

After waiting for the people around him to give the order, the bearded man said to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "We really can't afford to drag it anymore." ”

And in the marching column of the Xuan Army's mobile unit in the south, Gazi was riding on a horse, his brows were furrowed, and he hesitated to ask the squad leader, "The enemy's sentry is following us, squad leader, don't you really need to clean it up?" ”

The squad leader said with a straight face, "Don't act rashly, this is the major's order, we just need to carry it out." ”

"But why? Most of us are infantry, just so slow, let the enemy sentry follow, what if the enemy cavalry of the brigade is summoned? ”

The squad leader glanced at Gazi, "Execute the order, don't ask so much." ”

"Oh." Gazi answered, but his heart was like a cat's paw, he was too curious, slowly slowed down his horse, and leaned next to Xiucai's war horse.

"Brother Xiucai, do you know what's going on?"

"You still haven't seen it?"

"Uh, what do you see? Tell me about it. ”

"Then I'll tell you about it." Xiucai looked left and right, leaned into Gazi's ear and whispered, "Look at the section of about 5 kilometers ahead." ”

"Huh?" Gazi turned his head, looked at it carefully for a long time, and was so depressed that he said, "Ha no." ”

Xiucai's face was mysterious, "Yes, it's nothing." ”

“??” Gazi's head was full of question marks, but he didn't say anything if he asked Xiucai again.

Gazi had to stare hard at the road ahead, and looking at it, Gazi exclaimed, "Ah, I see." ”

From the front came the voice of the military judge: "Pay attention to marching discipline. ”

Gazi immediately covered his mouth, and after a while, he came back to Xiucai and said, "Brother Xiucai, I figured it out." ”

"I knew you could figure it out, isn't this what our reconnaissance force does, you just didn't think about it."

"Yes, although the birds kept singing in front, it had been a long time. Not even a single bird has ever flown up, such an obvious sign, I didn't even notice it, it's really dark under the lights, the falcon scared away the nearby birds, where to pretend to be other birds, isn't this our Xuanjun's master ambush and cover up skills. ”

Saying that, Gazi himself smiled embarrassedly, and after a while, he began to be curious again, "Brother Xiucai, how big do you say the scale of this ambush will be?" ”

Xiucai rang for a moment and said, "Didn't we detect the enemy army before and dispatched more than 3,000 cavalry?" If we are dispatching a regular army, the number of people should be around this number, and if we bring a new army to train our courage, it may be more. ”

Gazi felt that what Xiucai said made sense, and the number of ambushes depended on whether the new army would come out to see the world, but this was none of his business, and this kind of brain-consuming matter was left to the general to worry about. All you have to do is follow the order and kill the enemy.

After knowing the purpose of the superiors not allowing him to clear the enemy sentry, Gazi's mood immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and he coldly looked at the enemy sentry who fell behind, "I'll let you live a little longer." ”

In the command headquarters, Chen Xin always paid attention to the battle reports on the front line, but there was no nervousness in his heart, and the Xuan army had formed a set of its own combat system, which could operate very well.

Moreover, as long as it is not a decisive battle between the two sides, the more than 10,000 regular troops of their own side will not be afraid of any army in this era when the number is equal.

After formulating the battle plan, as long as you wait here quietly, the rest of the work will naturally be completed by relevant departments and personnel.
