First, Commander Wan Hui of the Chinese Army spoke and said, "The thing is obvious. It's clear that the mercenaries want to cut off the connection between us and General Hong and the others, and then want to destroy them all."
Xianghui's words still have some insights, at least his analysis is correct, but what he didn't expect was that the mercenaries not only wanted to cut off their contact, but also killed or captured them.Just like Zhou Hong, another commander of the Chinese army, quickly expressed his opinion: "It's impossible, isn't the news saying that they only have more than 1 people? Wan Dajun is an enemy, isn't it too arrogant?"
Zhou Hong is a little fat, but has a pair of small eyes.People are like him, they like to use their brains very much, so it's no wonder he has such an analysis.
"I don't know if you are arrogant or not. Anyway, their muskets are very powerful. You don't know that at the beginning, it was like rain, and it fell down with a burst of crackling. There is a commander under my hand who wants to prepare The man who launched the charge was shot to death just after shouting a few words." It was Zhang Qingli, the former commander of the army who spoke, and when he said this, his body was still trembling a little. At this scene, he happened to see it clearly, so he felt a burst of tension and fear.
Zhang Qingli's words were heard by Zhou Hong, and he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, "Brother Zhang, did you just say that the opponent's muskets fell like rain?"
"Yes, this is my true feeling." Said these with a sworn look.
"Well, if this is true, there should be a lot of mercenaries on the opposite side of us. They should have concentrated their strength together to give people such a feeling. If this is the case, why don't we just start from other It’s okay to break through and advance in the direction. The rainforest is so big, they will not be able to guard all the roads for a while.” Zhou Hong put forward his own opinion.
Xiang Hui on the side immediately agreed, but he added, "Brothers are too tired from rushing all the way, why don't you let everyone rest for a while, and wait until dawn to attack the whole line, so that you can play your best?" Come out with better strength."
"Yes, but it can't be too late. After all, if we don't show up in front of General Hong Jin for a long time, who knows what he will think and whether he will blame us." Zhou Hong nodded and agreed with this statement.The army is too tired and cannot fully display its own strength. Under such circumstances, it will suffer a loss when it goes to the battlefield.
Seeing that the two commanders of the Chinese army had reached a unified opinion, Zhang Qingli, the former commander of the army, immediately said: "So, I tell the brothers not to charge, take the time to rest, and send someone to inform Mrs. Lu Hongwan Commander, let him bring the rear army up, and if everyone gathers together, the strength will be stronger."
"I agree." Zhou Hong and Feng Hui also nodded their heads again and again, so they reached a consensus, and decided to take a good rest first, and wait until the dawn of tomorrow morning to launch a full-scale counterattack.
The Han captives became honest and straightforward, which made the auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers around them a little bit depressed.
They were thinking of doing meritorious service.Especially for some temporary auxiliary soldiers, after seeing the power of the eight-one bar, especially the nine-five-style, they are eager to make meritorious service. Once they enter the auxiliary soldiers, or preferably enter the cold front, they will not be able to Is there such a musket that can casually kill a person hundreds of meters away?Thinking that they could kill an enemy with just a flick of their fingers, they felt excited all over their bodies.
"Okay, you guys are going to fight some battles, and this time it's going to be aimed at the entire Jiaozhi. As for now, those who should sleep should sleep, and those who should be on duty are on duty. As mentioned above, it is very likely that there will be a fierce battle tomorrow morning." While everyone was still thinking about doing meritorious service and taking guns, a new order was issued, and in the dark night, one by one, it spread throughout the 9000 auxiliary and temporary auxiliary camps.
The auxiliary soldiers and temporary auxiliary soldiers seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with the captured Han army, and they all became quiet.But in front of them, three battalions of Leng Feng and four battalions of auxiliary soldiers were pressing forward step by step, pressing towards the Cochin Army surrounded by them.
It was completely dark by now.Although there is moonlight, it cannot reach the level where you can't see your fingers, but the visibility is not high.
Often in such weather, except for the siege battle that may continue with the help of torches, other battles cannot be fought, and this has become a tacit understanding for thousands of years.After all, it was so dark that any accident could happen, even if it was a bad one, it was normal for one's own people to hit one's own people.
Then only a fool would choose to attack at night?
But this army that cannot fight at night does not include the Yang family army.Leaving aside the fact that Leng Feng's auxiliary soldiers often have night battle assessments in their training courses, does it mean that their jungle training a while ago was just a game?How to fight at night in the rainforest, fully protect yourself and eliminate opponents is the main purpose of training.Now the time has finally come in handy.
Every soldier is carrying two base ammunition, plus night vision goggles on his head, so that the night is not dark, and everything is presented in front of him.From the moment they launched the attack, they have been suppressing the Cochin Army and are still advancing.
Gunshots rang out from all directions, and there was still light rain in the sky. In such an extremely oppressive atmosphere, Cochin soldiers were dying every moment, and urgent battle reports were sent to Hong Jin and Ruan Yongyang.
Two hours have passed since the start of the war.Now it was midnight, and the Cochin Army, which originally had more than 1 people, paid the death price of 5000 people.
Half of the troops were killed in two hours, and the early stage was still because the army was too scattered. The battle report has shown that the more dense the Cochin army is in the later stage, the faster the number of deaths will increase.
Under the temporary wooden tent, General Hong Jin no longer had the natural demeanor of calmly commanding everything before, replaced by a dark face and trembling under the anger.
Originally thought that saving Ruan Yongyang and eliminating the mercenaries would be a great achievement.But he never thought that when he arrived here, he saw Ruan Yongyang, and he didn't even say a few words, and the pressure suddenly appeared.He who was supposed to save others also became the one who was saved by others.
Compared with Hong Jin who said nothing, Ruan Yongyang, who was sitting on the chair, looked even more decadent. He leaned against the back of the chair, looked up at the sky, and ignored his eyes. Let others misunderstand, he is already a dead person.
"I lost, I lost completely, I'm going to die, I'm going to die"
This is what Ruan Yongyang has been muttering, but at this moment his performance has not been noticed by others.Because another commander rushed into the temporary wooden tent with an anxious expression on his face, and then shouted in an anxious tone: "No, the news just came from the front, the nearest mercenary is less than 1000 meters away from us." rice."
"So close?" After hearing the information, Hong Jin, who had a straight face, turned around with an expression of disbelief, then rushed to the map under the coal lamp, and turned around after taking a rough look. To the commander who reported the letter, he said, "Do you have any news from the captured Han army?"
"No, I once sent people to contact them, but they were often killed by muskets not far from the barracks. I also found soldiers with good hearing, and they told me with certainty that there were no gunshots behind us It came. General Hong, is it possible that you and the others have already surrendered to the mercenaries?"
The commander asked nervously and cautiously.Although he also knew that this was unlikely, why did he fight so fiercely on his side, but there was no movement from the other side?
Of course he didn't know that the sound of a gunshot was generally only three kilometers away at the farthest, and then the noise was very small. If you take into account the terrain and vegetation, the season, the specific time, air temperature and humidity, as well as nearby noise decibels and wind direction, etc. If there are a series of conditions, I am afraid that sometimes the sound is very small even one kilometer away. Unless you are very familiar with gunshots, otherwise you will not care too much if you hear such a sound occasionally.
The commander-in-chief raised his doubts, and Hong Jin simply waved his hand: "This is impossible. The Han captives have never had contact with mercenaries before. How could they surrender here?"
Chapter 471 Ruan Yongyang Dies Hong Jin Prisoner (Sixth)
Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty Chapter 471 Ruan Yongyang died and Hong Jin was captured.After all, since the establishment of the Han prisoner army, most of them have been treated unfairly, and maybe they will really surrender.But in front of his subordinates, of course he had no choice but to continue to cheer him up.
"In this way, if the order continues, we must resist it. As long as we persist until dawn, the [-] Han captives will definitely come to us, and we will be safe at that time. And tell the soldiers that the bullets of the muskets are limited. Even if the army is strong, it is impossible to fight without limit, as long as they don't have muskets, they can only choose close combat, so our chance will come."
"Yes, I'll tell the general's words to the brothers right away." The commander's eyes lit up. He had lost confidence at first, but after hearing Hong Jin's words, he felt much better and had his own thoughts because of it, " General, do you want to make a counter-charge when we find that the opponent's muskets are attacking slowly, so that we may be able to grab some muskets back."
"Hey!" Hearing the commander's suggestion, Hong Jin felt his eyes light up, "Very well, you can go on like this and tell the soldiers that once you have such an opportunity, you must take the initiative to attack boldly. If anyone can grab one When the musket comes back, the officer will be promoted to a higher level, and the reward will be 50 taels of silver."
Seeing that his suggestion was adopted, the commander was also very happy, and quickly nodded in agreement before delivering the order.But he really didn't know that the scene he was waiting for would never come true.
Most of the muskets developed in the Ming Dynasty were sudden fire guns, the kind that could only be fired once after loading.And once you shoot several times in a row, the barrel, the gun body, especially the rifling are prone to serious damage, and you need to rest for a while.But the Type [-] used by the mercenaries has no such concerns at all. Most of these guns were taken out by Yang Chendong from the warehouse, and they are modern products. There is no problem with a gun being loaded with an average of [-] bullets.
Even the Bayi Bar imitated by Chixian City was only manufactured after the steel technology matured. Naturally, the quality is not as strong as the Bayi Bar in Dacang, but it is still no problem to hit about [-] rounds.Especially the one manufactured later, not to mention the accuracy, after testing, it can already guarantee to hit [-] to [-] rounds.And this will continue to improve. After all, there are still samples of the advanced books produced by Da Cangzhong. As long as we work hard, we can always catch up.
Based on these, the opportunity that the commander said to wait for the mercenaries to fight back when they run out of bullets or have problems with their guns does not exist at all.
But having said that, it cannot be said that there is no chance at all. For example, after a burst of strong attack wiped out a large number of the enemy's vital forces, when the enemy's forces are all concentrated together, and they can also rely on some terrain to reflect the bow and arrow, The attack speed of Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers also slowed down.
This slowdown is not to stop attacking.Yang Chendong has already issued a death order. Tonight, before dawn at the latest, [-] Jiaozhi troops must be captured. This is related to whether the [-] Han captured troops can be successfully received.
So their attack slowed down just for the next better attack.Just like now, the original dense gunshots suddenly stopped, that is, Leng Feng and the auxiliary soldiers are moving forward under the cover of the night to ensure that they can get closer to the opponent, and then the power of the grenade can be highlighted. Whatever terrain the opponent wants to use will be useless, and will be razed to the ground.
It's just that before this brewing onslaught began, it did create an illusion for the Cochin Army, that is, the mercenary's muskets were out of bullets, or there was something wrong with the muskets.Just like the order given by the commander before, many Cochin soldiers thought that the opportunity had come.
Since they were attacked in the dark, they have been passively beaten, and they didn't even see a shadow of the enemy clearly, which made the proud Jiaozhi army very distressed.Suddenly, there was an opportunity to fight back, and everyone wanted to seize it, so the hordes of Cochin troops began to gather.The three or 400 people here and the two or 300 people over there started to concentrate, ready to rush out with all their strength to grab the muskets, which would allow them to be promoted to a higher level and get 50 taels of silver.
With the material rewards, everyone's actions are indeed much faster.When the assembly was about the same, the full-strength counterattack began. A dozen teams suddenly rushed out from all directions. The number of teams ranged from a few hundred people to three or four hundred.
This kind of planned large-scale sudden counterattack not only highlights the suddenness, but also the more important personnel are more scattered. In their thinking, even if they encounter a musket counterattack, there will be fish that slip through the net, and once they rush to the mercenary In front of them, their advantage will come.
The sudden counterattack really caught the mercenaries by surprise.But it was only the surprise in the eyes and sight.Because at this time, the Yang family's army was also preparing to concentrate the grenades to launch a frontal assault.
Worried about not being able to find where the main force of the enemy is, this is a good time, they jumped out on their own initiative, this is really wanting to sleep, someone sent a pillow, how can we not seize such an opportunity, it would be in vain to be called Was captured by the elite cold front fighters.
So after just stopping for a few breaths, the excited cold fronts started to fight back. I don't know which company or platoon it started from. The powerful grenade in their hands was thrown away as if they didn't want money. go out.
"Boom boom boom"
When the fire was bright, there were also scenes of various things flying into the sky, as well as various screams of ghosts and wolves.
After the first start, the other troops quickly counterattacked. The grenade that was already in their hands was immediately pulled away from the wristband, and then it was thrown into the crowd of rushing Cochin soldiers.
The originally quiet night became lively again, even more violent than before.Of course, with the cooperation, an unknown number of Cochin troops were blown up, killed, and torn apart.
Under the loud bang, the forest in this area was shaking. I don't know how many animals in the forest scattered away. They felt like the end of the world was coming, and the rest could only flee in panic.
In contrast, life in the temporary Cochin wooden tent is also very difficult.When they heard the first violent sound, Hong Jin and Ruan Yongyang's expressions collapsed.After one after another explosion sounded incessantly, Ruan Yongyang had already sat down on the chair, Hong Jin was not much better, the whole person was shaking, and the pupils of his eyes could no longer focus together.
Originally thought that the counterattack would be their chance.At worst, he will seize most of the previously lost territory, so that he has more space to move around. In this way, it should not be difficult to wait until dawn the next day and wait for the arrival of the Han captured army .
Who would have thought that such a big commotion would be attracted.What kind of opponent are they facing? What the hell are there mines before?
