Chapter 328: The General's Wisdom (Fourth Watch)

Seeing that the second general flag was out of the village without artillery cover, the courage of the Weishan battalion became bold again, and the archers carried out a covering fire!

The musketeers, on the other hand, maintained the momentum of Mount Tai and did not bend down, and marched neatly against the rain of arrows and marched neatly on the cheerful musketeers' marches. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing this formation, the Weishan camp, including Cheng Laohu, changed color in unison, the last time they saw this scene was at night, and they didn't feel anything, this time under the morning sun, they felt this kind of scene of seeing death as home, and everyone's hearts were deeply shocked.

What kind of army is this, and how did their commander train such an indomitable momentum? Although it was for the enemy, the soldiers of the Weishan battalion also had a feeling of admiration in their hearts.

"Raise your gun and aim!"

"Shoot!"

Under the order of the chief flag officer, the musketeers carried out three rounds of alternate cover, and the Weishan battalion finally saw with their own eyes the muskets that did not need to be ignited, and now they did not dare to stay any longer, and ran back desperately.

Cheng Laohu was not only a little annoyed when he saw that the soldiers had run away from the formation, but he knew that these enemies would become his comrades in the future, and he would not be ridiculed to death by them when he saw them in the future?

The musketeers ignored them and strode forward, as if they had not come to fight, but were just conducting an ordinary marching training.

After chasing out five miles, he saw the Weishan battalion waiting in front, and before the musketeers could catch up and shoot, Cheng Laohu's long knife waved and there was a dense rain of arrows, and then all the personnel turned around and left.

After repeating this several times, the chief flag officer saw that the other party was always dangling in front of his own side, and judged that the other party was luring the enemy. After last night's chase battle, the Volunteer Battalion already knew that the opponent's main general was scheming, and if he chased it further, it would be worth the loss if he was ambushed, so he decisively ordered all the troops to return to the army.

Seeing this, Cheng Laohu did not chase after him, and retreated to the north with his people, and the chief flag officer saw it from a distance and put his mind at ease, the secret thief army was really just harassing.

Cheng Laohu led the men and horses of the headquarters for three or five miles, and Wuding led the army to meet him, and said from a distance: "The pioneer officer has worked hard, please take the brothers back to the camp to rest, and the following will be handed over to us!"

"Okay, brothers go back to camp!"

On the side of the camp, Tang Jinyi has also been wandering around not near or far, and the small volunteer battalion has never dared to eat with peace of mind, for fear of being attacked by the other party and losing the camp. And the chief flag officer, who had been busy for most of the hour, had just returned to the camp, and the horn of "Woo-woo-woo-woo~" sounded again.

"Enemy attack!"

"The thieves are here again!"

"Damn, I won't let people eat!"

"Damn thief army, I'm going to pick your skin. “

Chang Ping ordered: "The shield soldiers will go to the wall to defend first, the artillery will suppress, the musketeers will shoot, and those who have not eaten should hurry up and eat a stick of incense and then go out of the village to drive away the thief army!"

When the musketeers came out of the village again, the soldiers of Wuding ran away again, and Wuding's command ability was stronger than that of Cheng Laohu, and this time the musketeers were lured to chase ten miles to end this round of pursuit.

It was a full hour before the musketeers returned to the camp. When the volunteer battalion, which repelled two waves of harassment, thought that they could finally finish their meal, the familiar horn of the Weishan camp sounded again.

"The enemy is attacking, and the thief army is here again!"

"Damn, these thieves who kill a thousand knives, can't they let Lao Tzu have a stable meal!"

In desperation, the musketeers tightened their belts, glanced at the "breakfast" that had been eaten from morning to noon, and took up arms to continue the battle.

He Wenlie in the third round was brave and resolute, and he didn't know the inside story, and after the musket team chased him out of the village, he actually launched a desperate attack, and this time the two sides really fought. The commanders Chang Wei and Chang Ping, who were anxious to watch the battle on both sides, immediately withdrew their troops and did not dare to fight any further.

By the end of this round, the Weishan battalion had nearly 100 casualties and the musket battalion had lost more than a dozen people. Although Chang Wei didn't want to fight, the morale of the officers in the battalion was high.

In particular, He Wenlie's words are the most representative: "The musket battalion has been disturbed by repeated attacks in the middle of the night, and it has become impetuous, impetuous, and demoralized. ”

Chang Wei glanced at Wu Ding, and the latter said in a loud voice: "Enough is enough, Wen Lie, when you attacked in the last round, the opposing commander had already shrunk his troops, and he obviously saw through our army's strategy. I don't think the other party will be fooled again, and if we continue to fight like this, our soldiers will be too tired to run. ”

He Wenlie hurriedly said: "But at the moment, our situation is very good, and the other party is not easier than us." ”

The generals immediately chimed in: "Yes, as long as we can win, the morale will be maintained, and no one will feel tired." ”

Chang Wei raised his head, his eyes slowly swept over the big tent, although he entered the camp for a short time, but several times in a row, both skill and strategy made the officers extremely impressed, now the prestige is comparable to that in the camp, the generals saw that he had something to say and immediately quieted down.

Chang Wei said: "From last night to now, our army has been marching to lure the enemy, and there has been almost no rest. When you have the upper hand, you naturally don't feel tired, but once the offensive is frustrated, the fatigue will increase. We've almost reached the limit by now, and now unless we can finish off the enemy all at once, the longer we drag it out, the worse it will be. ”

"But you have also seen that the enemy can only attack a hundred and ten people every time, and he will return after a few miles of pursuit, which shows that the opponent's commander is a cautious person, and it is impossible to defeat them at once. ”

Speaking of this, Chang Wei Huoran got up and pointed in the direction of Taiping Mountain, and said loudly: "Do you still remember what our combat goal is? Contain the enemy and weaken the offensive on Taiping Mountain! As you wish, you will fight hard with the opponent's muskets and artillery here, and there will be two results: First, the opponent's main general will fight to the death with us, and they will definitely not be able to fight with few people, and we will win a miserable victory; second, the other side will turn around and enter Xue City, and set up cannons on the head of the city to bombard us indiscriminately, and they will easily win. ”

Chang Wei smiled and asked, "Which do you think the final result is?" In fact, no matter what the result is, I think that when we return to Taiping Town in a fiasco, Lord Right Governor will definitely not mind punishing us." Maybe we will take advantage of the situation to forcibly absorb the Weishan Battalion, and the best outcome for us will be to end up in an idle position, and at worst, we may be beheaded for public display!

At first, everyone was not convinced, but after listening to Chang Wei's malicious speculation, sweat broke out on their foreheads. Since they followed the White Lotus Sect, they have always been Hong Yongchang's foolish general, and the military in the battalion is all supported by Wuding. Although Wu Ding was a general, he did not receive enough support to guarantee the good future of the Weishan battalion.

Hong Yongchang's death made Chang Wei rise suddenly, which really made them promoted and made a fortune, and the recent performance of Weishan Camp also made people look up to it, even Cang Lingxuan showed a bias that he did not have in the past, and all of this was brought by Chang Wei. Now that he has said this, how dare the generals not listen?

Everyone bowed and saluted with convincingness, and said, "The general is wise, but the last general is reckless!" )
