golden scales

No one knew that Zhen Feiyu's palms were already sweating when he heard the gunfire.

The sound of the cannon was like thunder in his ear.

He is very clear about the deployment of his troops in this round, which is a typical infantry battalion configuration.Each team has two bird guns, which belong to the secondary training subjects, as long as the soldiers know how to use them, they are considered qualified.As for big things like artillery, there are only five tiger squatting cannons, which are placed directly under the guard team in the bureau.

Moreover, these five tiger squatting cannons are all small tiger squatting cannons with a length of two feet and a weight of 36 kilograms.This cannon is made of wrought iron. Each time it uses seven or eight taels of gunpowder, it can fire a hundred lead bullets weighing five qian. Or big rocks are slowly built into the muzzle of the gun... In this way, the range can be moderate, but it will definitely not be able to hit the barracks of the intruders-otherwise, there is no need to wait until now to fire the cannon.

The arrangement of She An's general attack today is very confidential, but the mid-level and high-level military officers still can't hide it from each other.It is impossible for food to be dispatched, arranged by the military judge, and the preliminary preparation of various preparations.And strictly speaking, the officers of the Eastern Palace Guard Battalion were all taught by a teacher, and everyone knew all kinds of movements well.

Although the intruders will not come here just now, but they must carry out defensive mobilization and be more vigilant.The surprise attack that She An painstakingly arranged was most likely to be completely ruined with the sound of the cannon.

If it's not the tiger crouching, then there is only the Franji of the Chinese Armed Forces Firearms Bureau.

Zhen Feiyu felt relieved.

The Firearms Bureau is His Royal Highness's darling. There were even rumors that the Firearms Bureau would be upgraded to a Firearms Camp, and the entire camp would use firearms.Commander Xiao Mo logically said that he should be more aware of the importance of firearms, but he still divided them into three parts to guard important checkpoints.Among them, in order to meet She An, a Francophone was assigned to come over, nominally under the jurisdiction of Zhen Feiyu, but in fact it was a bit distant.

That captain had to report to his own boss for orders even if he had any serious matters, and he didn't take Zhen Feiyu seriously at all, which made Zhen Baizong feel bad for a long time.Seeing that they have made such a big mistake now, I feel a little happy unconsciously.

But the euphoria quickly faded.

Because the trouble in front of me has burned to the eyebrows.

Liu Zongmin left a total of [-] Zhongquan personal guards, as well as auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands. The total number is also around three to five thousand.Today's intruders are no longer the rogues who saw the officers and soldiers hiding and escaping. Now they also have military merit incentives and military law constraints. When they hear the sound of cannons, the first reaction is naturally an enemy attack. The generals of all ministries are in a hurry to find their sons , subordinates, really messed up for a while.

After beheading a few heads, the commotion was finally suppressed and did not cause a bigger commotion.The mighty general who led the army did not understand why the officers and soldiers fired artillery but did not attack. However, he did not have the curiosity to prove it.Anyway, the order he got was to stick to the camp and prevent the Ruyang army from going south to support Ruzhou, so that Liu Zongmin would have enough time to catch the "big fish" in Ruzhou city.

——But if a battle starts later, it is too dangerous to have such a cannon by your side!

The mighty general thought for a while, then raised the big whip in his hand: "Send someone to find out their reality, it's best to get rid of their cannons!"

No one wants to face each other in front, with artillery bombarding the flanks.And according to the consistent surname of the Ming army, although the artillery is powerful, the soldiers in the army will flee when they see the enemy, so just rushing over is a great contribution.What's more, it's different now. At that time, everything in the battalion was lacking, and if they got cannons, they could only melt and forge weapons.Now the battalion also has its own gunners and cannons, which were used a lot when fighting Xiangyang.

As a witness of the Battle of Xiangyang, this mighty general absolutely does not want to leave behind this trouble.Although he spoke vaguely, the people under his command were very familiar with him, and within a short while he assembled three hundred soldiers, among them there were hundreds of cavalry soldiers, all of whom were fully armored.In addition, there are five or six hundred auxiliary soldiers, each holding a big stick, looking mighty and murderous, and the formation is not much worse than that of the officers and soldiers.

The status of General Mighty in the camp is second to General Guo Yi, and General Guo Yi is already qualified to be a high position as a Marquis.A person who can achieve this position and is favored by Liu Zongmin, how can he be incompetent?Since he is in charge of the rear guard, he will not shrink back and be beaten.But finding the enemy is a profound knowledge, otherwise hitting the iron plate will only leave a laughingstock.

——This camp that opened fire for no reason is probably due to a problem with military discipline, otherwise, how could it have fired for no reason to disturb the enemy?That being the case, if the persimmon is picky, it must start with them first.If he wins in one battle and takes away the courage of the officers and soldiers, he may even be able to defeat Ruyang and Baisha and make great contributions.

The mighty general thought to himself.

……

"The mob!" Zhen Feiyu stood on the sentry tower, looking at the mob of thieves coming.This was his first time in battle, and he had only seen the confrontation drills of the Eastern Palace Guard Battalion before.However, the rushing bandits were only vaguely divided into three horizontal formations of cavalry and infantry. Once they faced a vertical formation like the mandarin duck formation, they could not take advantage of their large numbers and were eventually broken through and defeated.

"Report!" The messenger galloped and stopped under the sentry tower, raised his head and shouted loudly: "Report to the chief executive, the fifth division chief She An asked: Why did you fire the cannon for no reason!"

"It has been found out. Some civilians who were bewitched by the thieves detected our army's sneak attack plan, and took advantage of the guards' unpreparedness to fire warning shots." Zhen Feiyu found out the truth immediately, and Tang Ma, who reported to She An and Xiao Mo, also It has already been sent out, and I am afraid that the person sent by She An has gone on a errand.If Tang Ma, who was going to Ruyang, also went away, it is estimated that Xiao Mo's people will come soon.

Although the Franji is not as good as the General Cannon, it is favored by the Prince because of its high rate of fire in the rear, but in this quiet world and time, its roar is enough to shake a five-mile radius.

The messenger was about to turn the horse's head and leave when Zhen Feiyu stopped him again.The Baizong said: "Let's tell the vanguard officer at the same time that our troops will fight against the bandits. Please attack the vanguard officer head-on and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

The messenger gave a military salute on the horse, yelled "Drive" in his mouth, and patted the horse away.

Zhen Feiyu looked at the flying dust that was gradually falling, and then turned his attention to the approaching bandit soldiers again.Behind him was the Donggong Guard Battalion, which had already been formed in order, standing quietly, feeling the vibrations from the ground.

……

"Zhen Feiyu is asking for help." She An heard the announcement, and the anger caused by the sound of the cannon had dissipated a lot.Although he was caught off guard by this shot, it was his idea to recruit refugees, who would have thought that he would get in with the intruder's spies!

It is the benevolence of a woman, and disaster will come.

Fortunately, you don't have to lose.

"He can only ask Xiao Mo to send troops to rescue him. The enemy's main formation must be ready. If our troops move, the enemy troops attack me from the side, or go straight to the rear of our troops, making our troops exhausted. Killed by them." She An drew the terrain between the two armies in her mind, and finally came to the conclusion: "Only by confronting and fighting with the enemy's main force, there is no extra manpower to rescue Zhen Feiyu."

"I just don't know how long Zhen Feiyu can hold on." A staff officer worried: "If the reinforcements under Xiao's command have not arrived yet, he has already been defeated by the enemy, and the reinforcements will be inside."

"Where is the retreat?" The training officer asked weakly.

The officers and staff officers of the Donggong Guard Battalion didn't even look at him.Now that the camp is full of desire for war, even if Xiao Mo ordered Zhen Feiyu to retreat, Zhen Feiyu might still want to fight before leaving.Moreover, as soon as Zhen Feiyu retreated, the flanks of the Fifth Division would be exposed to the enemy's blade, and the Fifth Division would have no choice but to retreat.

This is absolutely unacceptable to She An.

"Report! The enemy brigade is attacking the formation!" The sentinel sent the military information to the front of the tent on a flying horse.

She An lightly shook the fish scale armor on her body, and said: "After all, he will come, otherwise his partial division that beat Zhen Feiyu would be useless. All of them are there! Line up and fight!"

Everyone looked at the map, and there was only one thought in their hearts: it was a mule or a horse, and it was time to saunter.

Boom!

Another cannon shot hit everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt.

She An picked up the binoculars and followed the sound to find it.

It's the dwarf mountain that doesn't even have a name.Just to clarify the military order, this mountain was given the code name "Egg Mountain".Who could have imagined that the intruders not only stationed a hundred or so people on the mountain, but even transported artillery up there.

Can the Raiders still be useful? (To be continued.)
