Chapter 577: Offensive and Defensive Trends
"Order the whole army to bypass Xuzhou City, and let's destroy the northeast railway!"

Wang Baobao finally gave the order, and 10 cavalry rushed towards the northeast of Xuzhou City, a majestic cloud of smoke and dust shot up into the sky, looking from a distance, it looked like an erupting mountain torrent and tsunami!
Wang Baobao didn't know what a railway was or what it did, but he knew that the railway was extremely important to Fang Qiang in Xuzhou City, and that was enough!

Above the city of Xuzhou, Fang Qiang looked solemnly at the 10 troops marching towards the northeast. This Wang Baobao deserves to be a generation of generals who are decisive in killing and attacking, but he has his own limitations after all, and it is too simple to think about the problem. !
Fang Qiang took into account today's situation when he was building the railway, so how could he have no countermeasures!
"Brother Chang, follow the plan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chang Yuchun agreed, and then issued an order to his [-]rd Artillery Brigade!
"Tell you Brigadier, once the enemy enters the reserved position, hit me hard!"

"Yes!"

It turned out that the [-]rd Artillery Brigade was not stationed in Xuzhou City, but near the railway station. There was a whole brigade of troops and [-] new artillery pieces. They were stationed in a mountain depression day and night. emergencies!

"Kill..."

Thousands of horses galloped outside Xuzhou City, and they were about to enter the attack range. Suddenly, a layer of gloom shrouded Wang Baobao's heart. This is wrong, it's too quiet!
It stands to reason that the troops of the Ming Empire should have swarmed here, but now there is no movement at all, Wang Baobao's heart is at a loss!

"Get ready to shoot!"

Even so, there was no room for manoeuvre. The Xuzhou City Railway Station was right in front of us, so we had to take it no matter what!Wang Baobao shouted loudly, and the messengers around him blew their horns, which was the signal to bend their bows and shoot arrows!
The Mongolian and Yuan forces are worthy of being a nation on horseback, and the ability to ride and shoot is integrated into their bones!The mighty 10 cavalry bowed and shot arrows together, and there was no sense of disobedience. All the movements were smooth and uniform, which looked very visually impactful!

"Fire arrows!"

Following Wang Baobao's order, 10 arrows flew to the train station outside Xuzhou City like raindrops!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
The arrows fell like raindrops, and the place they passed was a mess.

With just one salvo, the entire ground was filled with arrows, as if it were a neat wheat field!
On the top of the wall, Fang Qiang was very excited when he saw this neat round of salvo. He looked at Chang Yuchun next to him, and asked, "Brother Chang, do our cavalry have such means?"

"This one……"

Hearing this, Chang Yuchun somewhat hesitated, his own riding skills are quite superb, the cavalry under him is known as the number one in the whole army, but compared with the Mongolian cavalry in front of him, it is still not enough, so he thought in his heart Very ashamed!

"Your Majesty, our cavalry is slightly inferior. Once we meet the opponent in the wild, we will suffer a lot. This can be seen from the casualty ratio of the scouts on both sides!"

"Oh? Really!" Fang Qiang asked a little strangely: "Then what is the ratio?"

“1:5”

"What?" Fang Qiang's eyes widened involuntarily. This ratio is really unacceptable. 1:5 means that five scouts will die on his side, and only one on the opposite side will die!
Is the gap between the two sides really that big?

"Brother Chang, it's embarrassing, but it doesn't matter. Know your shame and be brave. What do you think is the main deficiency of our cavalry? Why are the Tartar cavalry so powerful?"

"His Majesty!"

Chang Yuchun really thought about this question, so he answered without hesitation: "The Mongolian and Yuan nobles are people on horseback, but after decades of corruption and degeneration, they are not as good as before. The master can't even ride a horse, but the cavalry under Wang Baobao are not nobles, but civilians! They have been fighting on the border of the Mongolian Empire all year round, and they are quite skilled in riding and shooting! After all, our cavalry has been established for a short time, so it is really a disadvantage in fighting inevitable."

"Unexpectedly, Wang Baobao still has such a team in his hands, and he will keep it here today no matter what!"

While Fang Qiang and Chang Yuchun were talking, Wang Baobao's 10 cavalry had already reached the attack range!

"Fire, fire, fire..."

The Third Artillery Brigade is equipped with all new artillery and ammunition, and its power is quite amazing!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

The uneasy feeling in Wang Baobao's heart became more and more intense. At this moment, there was a sound of piercing the sky from the southeast!
He was very familiar with this sound. It was caused by the fierce friction between the arrow shaft of the Eight Ox Crossbow and the air!
"No, we're in an ambush!"

Wang Baobao let out a heart-piercing roar. He has dealt with Chang Yuchun all the year round, so how could he not know the power of the Ba Niu Crossbow? The power of this thing is astonishing after it is tied with explosives, and it explodes into a large piece. He died after the explosion all these years There are no less than 10 Mongolian cavalry!
Therefore, when Wang Baobao heard this voice, he knew he was in an ambush!
boom!boom!boom!
There was a burst of fire outside the train station, and the intense explosion sounded like the sky was falling apart, followed by the screams drowned in the explosion, broken arms and limbs were blown everywhere, like raindrops pouring down. Down……

In less than two breaths, the outside of the train station is already a purgatory on earth!
Wang Baobao was lucky, he was walking at the end of the team, far away from the center of the explosion, so he was lucky enough to save his life during the firing of thousands of cannons!

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

Wang Baobao didn't care about the chirping sound in his ears, he turned his horse's head and galloped away. The most important thing at this time is to keep his useful body, and other things are secondary!
Chang Yuchun has been monitoring the situation at the train station. When he saw Wang Baobao was about to run away, he asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, once this guy is allowed to escape back to Beiyuan, there will be endless troubles. Shall we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

"No need! Now is not the time, let him go this time!"

"Yes!"

Chang Yuchun agreed, and then put down the binoculars in his hand. He knew that Wang Baobao had suffered heavy losses this time, and he would not be able to organize an attack in a short period of time. Besides, his most elite cavalry had been disabled, so even if he regrouped, It is also difficult to form effective combat power!
From this moment on, the offensive and defensive momentum of Bei Yuan and Ming Empire completely reversed!
The days of unifying the country are not far away!
For this, Chang Yuchun was very much looking forward to it!
Fang Qiang didn't stop at Xuzhou City, and took a special train back to Jinling City three days later. The next place he was going to inspect was the navy!
