Chapter 2623 Guizi scroll fierce battle heroic soldiers, life and death (2)

Such a camp stands abruptly on this flat ground. Even a fool can imagine the purpose of the opponent setting up the camp here, which is to take advantage of the terrain advantage of this small hill to block the enemy, and setting up the camp is just to block this kind of attack. It's just expanding again.

How to stop the enemy, of course, is to use one's own advantages to attack the enemy, and firearms are the advantage of the Zhou army.

Because of this, it is inevitable to use cavalry and shooting around the camp to inflict damage on the enemy troops in the camp. They also know that cavalry cannot remove such a nail, and infantry will still have to be used in the end. , but it is also the first option to use its own advantages to weaken the enemy as much as possible.

It's just that these Jianzhou cavalrymen obviously underestimated the Zhou army's preparations for this. Even if they had to prepare at night, they kept a considerable distance, and at the same time took advantage of the light cavalry maneuvering to circumvent to reduce the risk of being directly attacked. When hundreds of firecrackers shoot at the same time, this kind of damage is also unavoidable.

The Jianzhou rangers who were like bombing battalions sprinted away, trying to escape the design range of the firecrackers, but the first round started, and the second round followed. Jianzhou cavalry were shot one after another.

In just a few breaths of time, hundreds of corpses of Jianzhou cavalrymen and the wounded who were still howling were left within [-] paces around the camp. , This scene actually looks a bit vicissitudes.

The loss of a hundred people was insignificant to Hu Erhan, but this kind of loss just after the battle made Hu Erhan feel a little depressed.

The situation reported from the front also made Hu Erhan realize that the Zhou army was not unprepared, but he was not afraid. On the contrary, the opponent set up a camp to block the enemy instead of taking the initiative to meet the ground, which fully shows that the enemy army is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, especially It was the fact that he didn't know the prominence of his own army, which added to Hu Erhan's confidence.

It's just that this camp set up on a small hill happened to be stuck at the throat of this plain. If you pass through here, you will inevitably enter the strike area of ​​the opponent's firearms, especially if the opponent is still behind the largest camp. The establishment of slightly smaller camps is obviously to use the mutual cooperation between these camps to block the advancing team of one's own side.

In other words, this is a strategy of delay, forcing one's own side to pull out these camps if they want to pass here smoothly and without interference, and it is a bit embarrassing for the cavalry in the forward position.

"It seems that Zhou Jun has already taken precautions. Although he said he didn't know where we came from, he set up a defensive camp here in advance. However, under such pressure from Lord Fei Yingdong, it should be impossible for them to stay here. How many troops should be left for defense, if my prediction is correct, there will be no more than 3000 in total!"

Hu Erhan made a decisive judgment.

The strength of the Zhou army on the western front is not sufficient, and the fierce confrontation with Fei Yingdong has delayed most of the Zhou army. Even if the Zhou army is cautious and vigilant, and has deployed defenses on the flanks in advance, 3000 people should be the limit.

In fact, Zhu Mei and the others did only deploy a defense line of 2000 people here before, and even divided it into several sections. Only after Feng Ziying raised the possibility that the Jianzhou Army might attack from outside the side wall, Zhu Mei only started to strengthen the defenses here. With the information she learned, it proved that the Jianzhou Army that might attack was going to use this trick to directly penetrate the Zhou army's defense line from the flank. When it was promoted to a higher level, only Zhu Mei had 6000 people and then increased to 2000 people and Feng Ziying's pro-army as a reserve team.

If Hu Erhan's judgment did not have Feng Ziying's previous prediction, then it is true that no matter how the blocking force of two to 3000 people is deployed, it will be difficult to withstand the attack of the Jianzhou army. Thousands of troops should be the limit.

But now the situation has changed. More than 8000 troops are far beyond Hu Erhan's imagination, but Hu Erhan doesn't know. He only hopes to break through this entrenched camp in the shortest possible time and rush to the main battlefield as soon as possible.

"My lord Hu Erhan, if the Zhou army deploys 3000 men on this front line, the Zhou army's defense strength should be around 1000 for this most critical throat fortress, but the Zhou army mainly consists of firecrackers, and there may even be some Artillery team, if we want to take down this camp, especially if there are auxiliary camps around it, I am afraid it will not be easy to fight."

It was half a reminder, half a message to the Sajia assassin at the side, Hu Erhan understood the well-planned delivery, nodded slightly, and turned his eyes to Sajia assassin: "Forget it, let's take this here first, so as to avoid future troubles." , or should our Jianzhou army go first? Sajiala, how about your troops sweeping the formation?"

Sajiala has always regarded himself very highly, thinking that their savage Jurchen warriors are more brave than Jianzhou warriors. Along the way, Hu Erhan also knew that many old subordinates were dissatisfied with Sajiala and these savage Jurchen warriors, and there were many disagreements during the process, but Due to the overall situation, Hu Erhan severely suppressed his subordinates. In the face of a big enemy, he must unite as one to defeat Zhou Jun.

But now such an opportunity is in front of him, it depends on Sajia's attitude, Hu Erhan believes that Sajia should not be able to bear it.

That's fine, let him touch the Zhou army's barracks in front of him, and beat him down. This is a chance for him to show him that entering the main battlefield in the next step can make him more arrogant and rush to the front line. Can’t beat it down, um, this point Hu Erhan thinks it’s unlikely, after all Hu Erhan has [-] pawns in his hand, no matter how he can gnaw this bone down, the loss will be bigger at most, and it will also make this guy die in the future. Don't set your eyes above the top, and really treat the heroes of the world as nothing.

"Master Hu Erhan, you don't need to use aggressive tactics like this. Since we are here, we are fighting. The achievements of this first battle, our East China Sea Jurchens will definitely be determined, and it can be regarded as the first battle."

Although Sajia is rough on the outside, there is also a delicate side on the inside. Donghai Jurchen has been attached to Jianzhou Jurchen. Jiala knows that he should use his strength to prove himself, otherwise he will only be looked down upon by the Jianzhou Jurchen group forever.

Hu Erhan laughed loudly: "Okay, Sajia, you have ambition. I have heard about the bravery of the Donghai Jurchen warriors. I have seen the tenacity of the Donghai Jurchen warriors along the way. Now it is time to witness the bravery of the Donghai Jurchen warriors." Well, there are about a thousand soldiers of the Zhou army in this camp, but the soldiers of the Zhou army are not good at close combat, but their firearms are sharp. You also know that hundreds of cavalry were lost before, all of which were killed by the Zhou army's firearms. You are attacking this camp You also need to be careful when fighting, and do a good job of protection and shelter, and I asked my department to provide you with another [-] large shields, so that you can get closer and attack."

Since the number of cavalry attacking and galloping gradually decreased, Tao Dasheng knew that the pre-dinner order was almost over.

The Jianzhou cavalry is very cunning. After two or three rounds of firecrackers, they have already tested the shortcomings or shortcomings of the camp. Because such a camp centered on the high ground is long, they avoid the front and the At the rear, they constantly galloped across the flanks, using cavalry and archery to bring arrow rain coverage to bring damage to one's own side.

To a certain extent, this also puts some pressure on our own side. Although various preparations have been made before, wooden shields and double cowhide shields are propped up to isolate most of the arrows, but some of them have always changed their directions and angles. The flow of arrows will get in, and it will still cause casualties.

But all this is worth it. The artillery team only suffered less than five casualties, one of them was killed and four were injured, and two of them were still able to fight. People were injured, and the number of gunner casualties was close to a hundred, but fortunately there were more minor injuries.

In contrast, the Jianzhou cavalry was shot by gunners in the process of continuous galloping. Tao Dasheng initially estimated that there should be about 300 people.

Tao Dasheng is satisfied with such a comparison of battle losses, and has firmly written it down in the credit book. After this battle, as long as everyone is still alive, the reward will not be bad.

It's a pity that the tiger squatting cannon can't be used, otherwise, if a round of cannon fires down, at least dozens of Jianzhou cavalry will be left behind, but Tao Dasheng also knows that this can't be used on these slippery cavalry. Knowing the layout of the artillery array, they will not only avoid it easily, but more importantly, they will provide it to the Jianzhou infantry who will attack later.

They could not have taken this camp without infantry.

When the Jianzhou army in the distance kept advancing and came into sight, Tao Dasheng knew that the real test was coming.

It can be seen from the binoculars that the formation of the infantry in the center is a bit scattered and rough, and it is also a little different from the infantry on the two wings. The clothing is more fur rather than the unified Jianzhou armor. This makes Tao Dasheng also a little surprised. It looks like the established Jianzhou Army, more like a tribal army that has just been assembled.

But these are not important anymore, no matter who they are, as long as they dare to come, Tao Dasheng will leave them with a memorable scene.

"Hu Er, it's time to get ready. It's time for the big work." Tao Dasheng finally stood up, moved his body, and raised his jaw to signal to the fellow who had been squatting aside with a wooden shield on his shoulder, the artillery whistle. Officer Hu Er.

"Understood, I'm still not blind, let Pan Laosan and his gunners fight for two rounds first, and hit the two wings to force them to lean towards the middle, so we can give them a big meal..."

Hu Er's voice was a little hoarse, but it was more like some kind of bloodthirsty emotion was brewing. Before every artillery battle, this guy would have this excited hoarse voice.
