Chapter 991: Fight Xicheng Again
"Arquebus ......"
Wu Sangui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly smiled: "Lord Wang, as long as it is not a flintlock musket, it is easy to do, you should know that the flintlock musket can be fired almost on a rainy day, and it is extremely powerful, but the arquebus is not good, once it encounters rainy weather, then nothing can be done, now it is the rainy season, Jianghuai is rainy, hehe, we only need to choose to attack the Beijing camp in rainy weather, their muskets are not as good as burning sticks!" ”、
Azig's heart shook slightly, and he immediately burst out laughing.
"Haha, King Pingxi, not bad, not bad! Arquebus, once it rains heavily, it's a burning stick! ”
Tan Tai on the side also laughed, without the musket, it is equivalent to abolishing more than half of the combat power of the Ming army, after all, although the artillery is powerful, after all, it is a minority, the number is limited, and the rate of fire is also slow, if you want to stop the cavalry assault, it is impossible, as for the rocket, maybe the power is not small, but the water overcomes the fire, caught up with the heavy rain, the rocket has not fallen into the cavalry array, I am afraid that it has been extinguished.
"Pass the order, the army will be fully prepared, hum, once we encounter a change in the sky, then we will launch a fierce attack on Huai'an Mansion, a Huai'an Mansion is not valuable, but Zhu Jie's head is very valuable!"
Azig stopped Wu Sangui's words, and felt a little better, isn't it more than 3,000 casualties, Azig can still afford it, as long as he can take off Zhu Jie's head, even if it is 30,000 casualties, it is definitely worth it.
After all, the arrival of Zhu Jie has brought a certain amount of pressure to the Manchurian elite, although there are not many famous troops, but the deterrent power of these dozens of artillery pieces and rockets is too great, with so many firearms, it is almost impossible for the Manchurian elite cavalry to take Huai'an Mansion, and the only chance is to defeat the Beijing camp brought by Zhu Jie first, so as to be able to hit the troops to take Huai'an Mansion.
It's just that what I didn't expect was that the three of them had only brought in the tent for less than an hour, and there was a rumbling cannon sound from the southwest direction - the cannon sound was extremely dense!
The three of them even felt the whole earth tremble and shake!
Azig raised his eyebrows, and an arrow stepped out of the handsome tent, and Tan Tai and Wu Sangui only followed.
What's the situation?
"Lord Wang, this, this is the Beijing camp attacking our position to the west......
Wu Sangui was shocked, he didn't expect this Zhu Jie to be so crazy, he didn't even breathe when he arrived in Huai'an, and even after a big battle with the Manchurian elite cavalry, he directly threw himself into the attack!
"Order, immediately rush to the aid of Fei Yang in Xicheng, hurry!"
Azig reacted very quickly, just now the three of them were completely caught in the thinking of dealing with Zhu Jie, but they forgot that Zhu Jie has never played cards according to common sense, this time it is ruined, although the distance is not too far, but from the dispatch of troops to the arrival of Xicheng, how can it take more than half an hour, Fei Yang is only in control of three thousand Guanning iron cavalry in Xicheng, in addition, there are two thousand ordinary green battalions, only five thousand people, once they encounter Zhu Jie's full attack, it is absolutely unstoppable, You must know that you have just led 10,000 Manchurian elite cavalry to attack, but they have not been able to take advantage of the slightest, and finally returned home.
Outside the West City, now Zhu Jie and Xia Wanchun have launched the most rapid offensive, fifty artillery, fifty rockets, all put into the battle, before Fei Yang's five or six thousand troops have reacted, they have already blown up Fei Yang's battalion beyond recognition, this is not only an artillery attack, but also rockets!
In less than a quarter of an hour, more than 200 shells and 500 rockets all fell in Feiyang's camp, how can the 5,000-strong barracks still be good?
Shells and rockets fell one after another, the military camp was filled with gunsmoke, flames soared into the sky, and the unfortunate Qing army was blown up to the point where ghosts cried wolves and howled, scurrying around, but the artillery was okay to say, the soldiers had not seen artillery there? But this rocket is the first time to encounter, its power is still more than that of artillery, with huge flames, and there is also a huge explosion power, has completely frightened the Qing army, even if Fei Yang even restrained the army, it can't work at all, especially the two thousand green battalion soldiers, who were hit by rockets and scurried around, bringing the originally relatively calm Guanning Iron Cavalry to chaos.
"Wanchun, order the charge, Luyang, the musket battalion is ready, ready to stop the Qing army rushing to help at any time!"
Zhu Jie shouted.
Xia Wanchun urged the war horse, commanded the cavalry to rush up to the Qing army camp in Xicheng, and now the Qing army's west camp has been chaotic, and then the Beijing cavalry rushed up for a while, and collapsed directly, originally Guanning Iron Cavalry still wanted to hold on a little longer, waiting for the rear army to come to help, but Xia Wanchun's cavalry did not give him a chance, and the two or three thousand green battalion soldiers did not give him a chance, these green battalion soldiers were still a little useful when attacking the city, but in the field battle, the combat power was low, It is not much different from Zuo Liangyu's Jiujiang Town soldiers, under the bombardment of artillery and rockets, they have already been frightened out of the sky, crashing everywhere, and even messing up the Guanning Iron Cavalry that Fei Yang had finally assembled!
At this time, where can Fei Yang still be able to resist Xia Wanchun's attack, the cavalry of the three thousand Beijing battalions has just repelled the Manchurian elite cavalry, it is the time when the morale is at its highest, and the combat power has been exerted extraordinarily, in contrast, the Guanning Iron Cavalry is in chaos, this is not the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry was in the south of the Daimyo Mansion, it was already served by Xu Yifan, these Guanning Iron Cavalry are just some elite Wu Sangui as the backbone, and the cavalry was formed again later, The combat power has not yet reached the peak of the year, and in the panic, it is impossible to stop the attack of Xia Wanchun's cavalry.
In less than half an hour, Fei Yang was already defeated, and the entire periphery of Xicheng had been caught, Xia Wanchun held the Zaoyang lance in his hand, and deployed the cavalry in the outermost layer, and the two wings were four thousand musketeers.
Defeated Fei Yang, Xia Wanchun did not rush forward, now is not the time to fight a decisive battle with the opponent, the most important thing is to send the supplies and baggage into Huai'an City first, as long as there is food, grass and ammunition, soon, the Tianwei army can recover its combat strength, compared to the Beijing army, even if only 10,000 Tianwei troops have recovered their peak combat power now, it is definitely much stronger than the 20,000 Beijing camp army.
Lu Yang has now begun to command the infantry to continuously transport grain, grass and ammunition to Huai'an City, Song Jiaxing at the head of the city burst into tears, three months, it is not easy to persist in these three months, and finally the reinforcements are coming!
