Chapter 1290: Zhenyuan City Ambush (2)
"Okay, you!" Lei Feixiang punched Dou Xiaoqi in the chest, "Good fight! It seems that I can hand over the special operations group to you." ”
"Hehe, it's so-so, there are not many enemies killed in this battle, because the enemy ran too fast, so his subordinates didn't have time to calculate, and it is estimated that about 1,000 people were killed and wounded, which is a bit embarrassing for the special operations group. Dou Xiao was a little embarrassed to be praised.
"This is not true, the enemy will not dare to come with less than one legion, the forward force is at least 20,000, after all, you only have one battalion of men, and the enemy killed and wounded twice as much is considered to be up to the standard.
Besides, our task is to delay the enemy, and after you make such a fuss, the enemy will not be able to reach the northern suburbs until tomorrow at the earliest. You just wait for your promotion. ”
In fact, Ding Kui had long told Lei Feixiang to provide a replacement for the commander of the special operations regiment as soon as possible, and Lei Feixiang would be promoted to division commander in the future and take over from the veteran Zhong Wei's class.
Ding Kui does not dislike veterans, on the contrary, he loves the Ding family's old generals very much, and hopes that they will go home as soon as possible to enjoy their old age. In the past, there was no one, but now the young and middle-aged people have grown up, and the veterans can be relieved of their burdens.
Zhong Wei can be the principal of the military academy if he is not the division commander, and if he can't, he will become the county guard, in short, there will be proper arrangements.
"The local army is too cowardly! I'm going to lure them deep into the woods, and blow the smoke to scare them away. "Dou Xiaoqi didn't know that there was another reason for scaring away the enemy army.
"Well, it's better to be timid, at least delay them for a few more hours, and plan One will go more smoothly. Alright, you take a battalion and get ready, there are endless enemies waiting for you. "Lei Feixiang hasn't finished the arrangement yet.
He wanted to block the local army in Zhenyuan City, but it was difficult for the strength of a regiment to be tough head-on, so he had to make arrangements and give full play to the fine traditions of the special operations regiment.
The local army was much more entangled, and Li Jing first thought for a long time and decided to stop the march.
He ordered: "The 4th Division should camp in the south of the forest area, and the 3rd Division should camp in the north of the forest area, and no attack should be made at night under any circumstances." ”
The Chinese army led by Gongsun Mi had to stay in Anyang County.
Ding Kui's subordinates were all good at attacking warfare, and Gongsun Mi did not dare to gather his troops together and march in the safest way.
"Bastard! A little smoke frightened the entire division and regiment to flee for their lives, greatly demoralizing our army, this Wei Lunhui should be damned!" Gongsun Mi was furious after reading the military report.
"My lord is angry, based on the military situation in recent days, it can be inferred that it was the special operations regiment that ambushed the forward troops, and it is normal for General Wei's 4th Division to lose to the other party, although he is afraid of the enemy, but he also preserves the strength of the 4th Division.
Now that the forward troops have not asked for help, the loss of more than 1,000 people will not affect their combat effectiveness, and they can still open the way for the army and find out the current situation of Shibu County for the adults.
Besides, General Wei is Captain Wei's cousin, if he is dealt with now, I am afraid that it will not be easy to separate with Captain Wei in the future, so it is better to escort him back to Nanjing City and hand him over to the State Military Justice Department for interrogation. A staff officer came out to speak for Wei Lunhui.
The captain of the guard army used to be the highest commander of the local army, and the staff officers at the state level were very familiar with Wei Shiwen, and now there are still people who are willing to take care of his cousin's accident.
Gongsun Mi didn't know Wei Lunhui's background, but he himself was a relation, so it was inconvenient to use this reason to exclude Wei Lunhui.
Today, he finally has an excuse to severely punish Wei Lunhui, and he must pretend to be a bit of a show, so as to scare other related households in the army.
Ben Shuai just can't let him lose Captain Wei's face, lest Captain Wei blame Captain Wei for not maintaining the reputation of the Wei family in the future. Someone came, ordered the forward to command, tied Wei Lunhui to the Chinese army, and waited for the marshal to ask him well. ”
Seeing that the commander insisted on this, no one in the Chinese army tent persuaded him anymore, and there was really no way to speak for Wei Lunhui in such a defeated battle.
Li Jingxian spent the night in fear, and the two divisions were safe and sound, so he mustered up the confidence to continue on the road.
After passing through a dense forest area and passing through a town, the forward troops of the local army came to the northern outskirts of Zhenyuan City. Their original plan was to rush to the county seat as soon as possible, try to ensure that the county town is not lost, and then try to defeat Ding Kui's army.
The current situation is not optimistic, the enemy can go to the north of Zhenyuan City to set up an ambush, which means that most of Zhenyuan City is not guaranteed, Li Jing first has to consider whether to attack the city or not?
Zhenyuan Castle is wide open on all sides, and the inhabitants of the city live as usual, and it is said that there have been no rebels since last night. "There's scout payback.
"No one?" Li Jingxian was not happy and worried, "The special operations group fled without a fight? This is not their style." ”
"My lord, will the enemy be ambushed in the city? Or will our army camp outside the city?" The staff officers of the 3rd Division were also afraid of the well-known special forces.
"The special operations regiment is familiar with all kinds of tactics, especially good at small team operations, although I heard that Ding Kui does not like to fight in the city, and the strategy of ambushing troops in the empty city has only been used abroad, but it is not ruled out that they ambush small units in the city.
The concentration of the elite of our army together cannot stop the surprise attack of a squadron of the enemy, but it is impossible to say that we do not enter the city, we are here to help Shibu County resist the rebels, and we cannot let Zhenyuan City go unchecked.
In this way, you take the 4th Division to the city defense barracks, only arrange the men and horses to patrol the streets, and do not need to divide the troops to guard the city gate, if you encounter a strong enemy, you will defend the barracks to the death and release the signal, and I will lead the troops into the city to rescue.
The 3rd Division followed me to the east gate near the barracks and set up camp, and a large group guarded the east gate and kept in touch with the barracks at any time. Li Jing first used his staff to command the 4th Division, and he was a little afraid that the 4th Division would flee without a fight again.
Although there are less than 9,000 people left in the 4th Division, if they stick to the barracks while on guard, they should be able to hold out for a while, at least until he leads the army to rescue.
It was customary for the army to stay outside the city, and it made sense for Li Jing not to enter the city first, but it was relatively rare to have three city gates that were not defended.
Lei Feixiang couldn't understand this arrangement, "Is this to live in peace with us? They go to theirs, and we go to ours?"
The special operations regiment is really ambushed in the city.
"Hahaha, you still want to be beheaded in the City Lord's Mansion, and the enemy will not give you a chance. Dou Xiaoqi laughed heartlessly.
"It's all your fault! "Lei Feixiang, I'm afraid the No. 1 action plan is going to fail.
"Hahaha, okay, blame me, why don't we light the smoke in the city and scare the enemy away?"
"Look at that posture, the enemy is going to defend the barracks and the east gate to the death, where are you going to scare them? "Lei Feixiang is a candidate for division commander, how can he only have one set of action plans.
In the afternoon, fireworks suddenly appeared from the city lord's mansion, and a small group of scouts who were responsible for guarding there had no news, most of them were poisoned by the enemy, and the staff officer of the 3rd Division ordered the whole army to retreat to the barracks.
How could the residents of the city allow the city lord's mansion to catch fire, and what if a gust of wind and fire spread to nearby houses? The people spontaneously formed a firefighting team, and more than 100 people worked together to put out the fire, and it took more than an hour of hard work to extinguish the fire.
"What? The 4th Division and the residents of the city are fighting?" Li Jingxian began to sit in the camp regardless of the fire, but now he heard that the people in the city had gathered to make trouble, and they all hit the front of the barracks.
"Yes, the 4th Division forcibly drove away the crowd, wounded a few people, and aroused the resentment of the people, and then the people gathered more and more, some of them also carried bows and arrows, and the 4th Division went out of the camp again to drive people away, and was shot and wounded more than 100 people and then retreated to the camp, and now the door is closed. "The staff officer of the 3rd Division specially sent someone to inform Li Jingxian.
"It must have been the enemy who provoked it and deliberately inspired the people to go to the barracks to make trouble. "The staff of the 4 Division was left outside the city.
"Hmph!" Li Jingxian smiled contemptuously, "Order, a large group of people who go to drive away the troublemakers outside the barracks, and leave the east gate alone." ”
The order was a bit strange, but a large group of them still followed it strictly.
Thousands of officers and soldiers were killed, and their hands showed bright blades, and the hot-headed people immediately sobered up, and the hundreds of people nested outside the city defense barracks dispersed like flowing water.
"Report! The east gate is on fire, and the enemy has occupied the tower. The scout hurried to report.
"Hahaha!" Li Jingxian laughed, "Special operations group, but that's it! Come on, ask the magician to release the signal, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth teams will go out with the general." ”
It turned out that all the reactions of the local army were designed by him, in order to lure out the special operations group hiding in the city.
Woo hoo, three magic signal flares rose into the air, the city defense barracks opened the gate, and the staff officers of the 3rd Division led the neat troops to kill out, and the 3rd Division rushed to the east gate with a large team.
Outside the city, Li Jing led 3,000 men and horses first, and put on a goose-shaped formation to force the east gate. A total of 6,000 men and horses came to attack inside and outside the east gate, and if it could not be defeated, there would be follow-up reinforcements, and he did not believe that the special operations regiment could hold it.
However, they rushed to the east gate and pounced, and the enemy who had just occupied the east gate ran away!
"Oops! Hurry back to the city defense barracks!" Li Jingxian knew what he was planning.
"No, my lord, look!" the staff officer of the 3rd Division pointed behind Li Jingxian.
Li Jingxian's heart skipped half a beat, and he immediately turned his head to look, only to see thick black smoke coming out of the military camp outside the city.
"It's okay, all the soldiers will go back with me to rescue!" He was not alarmed, and did not forget that there were still 6,000 soldiers and horses over there, 6,000 men and horses around him, and nearly 6,000 men and horses in the city, even if the military camp outside the city was defeated by the enemy, he had the ability to fight back.
The men and horses gathered at the east gate hurriedly rushed to the military camp outside the city, and Li Jingxian ordered the accompanying magicians to fly back to the military camp first, and they must control the fire and not let the military camp burn.
However, the accident happened again, and before they could return to the barracks, the magician who had gone first turned around and flew back, and reported: "The garrison has repelled the enemy, and the enemy has only burned the two camps in the rear camp. ”
"What?" Li Jingxian's impression of the special operations group was not so weak.
Can the garrison troops defeat them so easily?
"Oops!" the staff officer of the 3rd Division shouted, "That is another suspicious tactic, will the enemy take the opportunity to open the city defense barracks?"
Li Jingxian quickly turned his head again and looked at it, the east gate was quiet, and there were no fireworks in the city.
"How can the special operations regiment be so impermanent? Isn't there still six brigades in the city defense barracks? He made a decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.
