Chapter 824: Ambush
"Newspaper-" A person rushed up from behind him and ran behind Xia Hongsheng on the top of the mountain, and the voice was not loud, because in the ambush, he tried not to make any big moves and not be discovered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Xia Hongsheng hurriedly got up, patted the pine needles on his body a few times, and said to the tanma: "How is it?" ”
"General Hui, the lowly rank has already discovered the traces of the Japanese army, at its current speed, excluding the time when the lowly rank returns, it will be here in about a few hours!" The man said to Xia Hongsheng.
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Okay, you go down and rest!" ”
The spies retreated to rest, and Xia Hongsheng went over to find Li Xiaogong, who was resting behind the tree with his head tilted against the trunk, shook him, and woke Li Xiaogong up.
"The spies have found the Japanese army in front, and the Japanese army can reach here today." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Xiaogong.
"Unitary time?" Li Xiaogong stood up, looked up at the sky through the leaves in the forest, and said, "Time is running out, but are you ready?" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded: "It's all in place, the soldiers are ready, just waiting for the arrival of the Japanese army." ”
"After the 100,000 troops of the Japanese Kingdom, I am afraid that they will no longer be able to resist." Li Xiaogong said: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can directly take Fujiwara Jing, capture Shu Ming, the lord of the Japanese Kingdom, and dedicate it to His Majesty. ”
"The battle of the trapped beasts of the Japanese kingdom is in vain after all." Xia Hongsheng said to Li Xiaogong: "I'm afraid that in two more hours, the Japanese army will arrive, I think it's time for the soldiers to eat something, and they will have the strength to fight later." After all, the enemy army was numerous. ”
Li Xiaogong nodded: "Yes, but don't eat too much, if you are too full, your body will not be good." Thou shalt not make a fire, for this is not a place to stay, and if there is smoke or fire, it will be suspected. ”
The soldiers brought with them rations, cakes as dry as stones. Nibble hard, then take another sip of water in your mouth, soak until soft and swallow. In addition, there is dried meat, the beef and horse mutton are smoked into strips and dried for a long time, and when you eat it, you can cut it off with a knife and send it to your mouth to chew for a while, which is the main source of meat for the soldiers in the army. There is also a hard tea brick pressed, which can be crushed and ground when boiling water, and some broken tea leaves are soaked in water, which can be regarded as improving the taste.
Xia Hongsheng looked at the dry cake in his hand that was so hard that it was estimated that it could knock people out, and there were a few tooth marks, and shook his head helplessly. I've been in the army for so long, and I still can't eat this thing.
Even if the soldiers were eating, they were still in their places. Fight at any time.
After eating, start preparing. The medicine bag is placed in the dug ravine, and the person lies on the back. The terrain of this place is very suitable for ambushes, the side of the mountain on both sides of the road is very steep, difficult to climb, and the Tang soldiers on the mountain only need to throw the medicine bag with a fuse to throw it directly into the middle of the Japanese army passing below.
The front of this section of the canyon was dug out of the trench by the Tang soldiers, and the artillery was mounted there, blocking the way of our army. The gasoline barrels were on the front hill, and after the Japanese passed by, they could push down the gasoline barrels, and then blow up the gasoline barrels with a medicine pack, igniting the gasoline, and intercepting the retreat of the Japanese army from behind.
There was artillery bombardment in front, fire in the back, and explosives bags on top of the head, it was really a big meal.
It's a pity that there are no mines, otherwise, thousands of mines will be buried along the road, and I am afraid that these 100,000 Japanese troops will be able to kill thirty percent of them in one go.
The key is that Xia Hongsheng didn't understand why the ground mine on TV was so simple, and the rope could explode when pulled hard. In other words, knowing that it is the principle of friction, but not being able to make a flintlock device that can fit into a projectile.
The sun was gradually turning westward, and a mountain bird suddenly flew in the distance.
Everyone is in good spirits, here it is!
Five hundred people had already laid down on the top of the hill along the road and laid an ambush, and everything was at hand.
All of them hid themselves, held their breath, and waited.
The sound of horses' hooves began to be heard on the road under the cliff, and human voices could be faintly heard. There were footsteps again. Then, the army of the Wa Kingdom appeared in the field of vision of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
The Japanese army was very long, and the Tang soldiers were waiting. The army entered the valley and gradually moved forward, and was about to go out of the valley at the front, when suddenly a trumpet sounded in the mountains.
Almost at the same time as the sound sounded, countless iron buckets suddenly rolled down from the mountain at both ends of the valley, and those iron barrels rolled down in the blink of an eye, and a pungent smell instantly emanated from the air.
At the same time as the iron bucket rolled down, a lot of wrapping things suddenly appeared in the sky. Those things fell down in dense clusters.
"Enemy attack!" The army of the Wa Kingdom was not slow to react, and was about to withdraw from the valley immediately, and the giant shield was immediately lifted by the two of them and resisted on top of their heads.
Clinker, the wrapping thing suddenly made a loud "boom", with that loud noise, the ground seemed to shake, and the cliffs on both sides seemed to shake. The huge shield actually shattered one after another, and the people below also turned into pieces of flesh and blood in the sky, scattering in all directions.
The Japanese army was about to retreat immediately, but they saw that the flames had risen at both ends of the valley, and they had already been burned from a long distance, and they could not rush out of the fire.
There was also a sound of "boom boom" in the distance, like thunder, and the ground kept exploding, and every time it exploded, pieces of minced meat flew one after another.
The panicked soldiers climbed to the sides and tried to escape. But to no avail - the artillery used flowering shells, and with each projectile exploded, hundreds of fine, but sharp fragments of iron filings burst out, causing them to fall.
There was no time to react at all, and the sudden bombardment was too powerful! And the gasoline fire was so ferocious. The people in the valley can't get out, and the people behind can't get in.
"In the mountains! The Don army is on the hill, up the hill from both sides! Before they could enter the valley, the generals who led the troops shouted loudly in the Japanese army behind. So the soldiers of the Japanese kingdom began to go up to the mountains on both sides of the valley.
One by one, the medicine packets that ignited the fuse rolled down the hillside and exploded, and the Japanese people were blown down one after another, dripping with flesh and blood.
"Keep throwing the medicine bag! Start throwing the Thunderbolt! Li Xiaogong looked at everything below with a calm face, and ordered: "Artillery withdrawal!" ”
The sound of the military horn was changed, and Li Xiaogong's order was conveyed to the gunners in the distance.
A hundred rounds of projectiles had just run out, and the gunners immediately turned around, and there were already prepared war horses behind them. Directly hung the gun carriage behind several war horses, slapped it hard on the horse's buttocks, and several war horses pulled a cannon and immediately ran away.
The throwing of thunderbolts and pill packs, as well as the fire that was still burning and beginning to spread in all directions, bought time for the artillery to retreat.
Seeing that the fire was too big to ignite the surrounding pine forest, even if the Tang soldiers had cut down the surrounding trees during the ambush, there was still a danger of being engulfed by the fire.
"There were more dead and wounded than expected. The goal has been achieved. Li Xiaogong said: "Withdraw the troops!" (To be continued.) )
