Chapter 152 The Great Savior (4)
In the Bear Ear Mountains, the sound of cannons roared.
Wang Jinglong had several "transfers" but could not get rid of the Qing soldiers behind his butt. Seeing that the morale of the team became increasingly sluggish, what was even more terrifying was that he had to drop a large amount of supplies during several transfers. The ammunition and arrows in the army were enough, but the food was less and less day by day, which forced him to make up his mind to fight the Qing army.
The Qing army who fought hard and asked him to take a ruthless battle, so that he could get a few days to rest. Moreover, a large war would inevitably reduce the number of troops in the army, which further reduced the burden of logistics and supplies.
Wang Jinglong never thought that he would become so cold-blooded and ruthless one day, but this is war.
Either ask everyone to die together, or some people ask to die, while the other people can still have a glimmer of hope!
"The next step is to cut off their backs."
A very simple map was placed on the case in the military tent. Yin Jitu pointed to the southeast of the rebel defense line and said to E Bao, the deputy lieutenant of Jianrui Battalion under his command, "Your unit's mission is very simple. It is to take advantage of the firearm battalion to attack the front stall of the thief army, take the opportunity to penetrate the side and occupy the surrounding hills and highlands as soon as possible. Cut off the retreat of the thief army!"
A Gui knew very well that Meng Can and Wang Jinglong's troops did not have much force, so the Qing army he sent was also a team of four or five hundred people. After encountering Wang Jinglong's army, although the Qing soldiers could not defeat them, they were enough to withstand for a period of time. During this period, it was enough for the Qing army to come from all directions to reinforce.
This is Agui's killer weapon to compress Wang Jinglong's range of activities little by little.
The combat power was not enough to swallow the next Qing army in a short time. Wang Jinglong's army clearly saw everything clearly, but he was helpless.
I can only retreat again and again.
At the same time, Agui raised elite troops and organized several pursuit troops, following Wang Jinglong's butt and lingered them.
The firearm battalion and Jianrui battalion led by Yin Jitu are the most elite and most difficult to deal with in the Qing army.
The Firearm Battalion was a team specializing in the Qing army to practice firearms, with strong firepower; the Jianrui Battalion was a special mountain force in the Qing army, with its melee combat capabilities not only not weaker than the Rebels, but even surpassed them.
With his previous combat effectiveness, Yinjitu made great contributions, and he looked at the rebels' defense line ahead with confidence.
The latter's continuous transfers were already a tired army, but the Qing army took turns to fight. His troops had rested for a while before, but now their morale is in full swing.
How can it be invincible to attack tired soldiers with strong and sharp soldiers?
If Wang Jinglong can be captured successfully this time, his Yinjitu will be successful.
The deputy lieutenant of the Firearms Battalion guards on the front line, Leshan, is also full of confidence at this moment. Although the war is cruel, it is also an opportunity. If he has no military achievements, when will he, a fourth-rank guards leader, become a successful leader?
"Don't worry, sir." E Bao was ordered sternly.
He was more utilitarian than Leshan, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Xishan Jianrui Camp?
"The gunners of the Firearms battalion are all elites who have experienced a lot of battle formations. The mortars in their hands are just right for the current terrain. If you go all out, you will be unable to resist the thief army. At that time, you will be able to penetrate the thief army's side and make the king lose sight of one thing."
"As long as this battle can be fought well, not to mention capturing Wang Jinglong alive, it can at least severely damage the thief army. We all made great contributions."
"Be sure to work hard!"
Yin Jitu patted E Bao on the shoulder and said.
"If you cannot cut off the thief army's back, I will come and see you!"
...
The rebels on the mountain naturally discovered the actions of the Qing army, but no one pointed at the Qing army and laughed and laughed. They were all nervously building fortifications and tunnels to deal with the upcoming attack of the Qing army.
Of course, as a qualified military leader, Wang Jinglong did not forget to protect his retreat. Not only did he place the rear camp there, but he also strengthened hundreds of young and strong people.
"Boom boom boom..."
The battle began soon, and the Qing army launched a feint attack on the rebel army.
More than one hundred people were bombarded by a row of gunfire in the rebels.
Qingshui Cult has many guns and cannons in his hands. I won’t mention the captures of Linqing, Dongchang and other places before. How many weapons did Xu Ji alone send to them? What’s more, Shuhede’s defeat and help.
Previously, Wang Jinglong's army even had many artillery pieces. Although they were all light small cannons, they could also play a good role in combat.
But with a series of defeats, the small cannons were also lost.
Yin Jitu did not pay attention to the success or failure of the Firearm Battalion offensive. It was just a feint attack, not to mention that his real killing move was not the Firearm Battalion at all.
E Bao, with Jianrui Camp and the eight mortar cannons in the army, had quietly turned to the flank of the Rebels' front line.
But midsummer is the season when the grass and trees are densest in Zhongshan. As long as you are careful, the actions of the Qing army are not something that the rebels in the battle can detect.
Not to mention that the Jianrui Camp team has only three or four hundred people.
E Bao carefully moved the team, then stopped, quietly waiting for news about the firearm camp.
Although the Qing army's firepower was obviously superior in the battle, it should not be underestimated by the stances of the bandits. The firearm battalion could not easily suppress Wang Jinglong's army. It would take time to achieve the expected goals.
But what should come is still coming.
The heavy pressure made Wang Jinglong have to press all the troops in his hands to the front, and he began to draw troops from the rear.
E Bao waited for the fighter he had always dreamed of.
Three or four hundred Jianrui Camps rushed over, and the rebels would of course find out.
Wang Jingchang is Wang Jinglong's brother, and he is not so stupid that he united all his troops in one place. He still sent some soldiers as a front-end to expand the team's alert range.
Naturally, when the soldiers of Jianrui Camp entered the sight of the rebel soldiers, their whereabouts were discovered.
If your whereabouts are discovered, then beat them!
Without a trace of hesitation, E Bao immediately led his troops to attack the rebel army. The sound of gunfire suddenly rang behind Wang Jinglong.
There is no real back camp in the rebel army - the elderly, weak, women and children, but compared with the front camp and the central army, the back camp is indeed the least and least incapable of attacking.
The hundreds of young and strong men who were transferred by Wang Jinglong have been transferred to the front by him. Wang Jingchang currently has only more than 200 people in his hand. Not to mention no cannons, he can't even have one shotgun.
E Bao left no effort, commanding Jianrui Camp to rush up the mountain, while concentrating the mortar in his hand and firing with all his strength.
If the Rebels were an elite force with a long battle formation, they might be able to support it, at least relying on their geographical advantages to resist in front of Jianrui Camp. But they were really not. Moreover, the Qing army also had mountain warfare "artifacts" such as mortars. Just a wave of offensives, the Rebels at the hillside could not support it, leaving behind thirty bodies and wounded soldiers, and retreated to the top of the mountain in a panic.
Wang Jingchang could not leave his brother alone and ignore him.
So he fought to the death on the hill and went into battle himself.
"Aim, aim and then hit-"
During the mountain war, the rebels had long abandoned their muskets and fired them volleys.
Facts have also proved that in the mountain war, when facing the enemy who was struggling and struggling and attacking the entire line, the soldiers' volleys had no effect at all.
Only by allowing soldiers to choose their own goals can they maximize their firepower by relying on their own abilities.
But under the current situation, I am afraid that the most elite former battalion brothers in the rebel army can't keep aiming and shooting, right?
Many rebel soldiers could not even load ammunition under the bombardment of mortar cannons.
Those timid and impatient people, as the soldiers of Jianrui Camp are getting closer and closer, and when they are blooming and exploding on the hill, their hands are shaking like Parkinson's patients, can be imagined.
But things are relative.
There were those timid, and there were those who were brave and fearless. Seeing that the Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer, they could see the faces clearly, so they simply threw away their bird guns and started a more convenient sword and gun.
"Follow me, follow me. Quick, hurry--"
Seeing that the troops who had just arrived were about to rush to the top of the mountain, E Bao immediately raised his waist knife below, raised his knife to point at the top of the mountain, and he jumped up the first step.
More than 200 soldiers from Jianrui Camp behind him immediately burst into loud calls for killing.
"Bang!"
The pistol knocked down a soldier from Jianrui Camp who rushed to the front. Wang Jingchang threw down the pistol and waved his sword to slash at the second enemy.
The hand-to-hand combat began, and the sound of the trumpet that the army was wiped out was also heard.
Because the Qing army had more people.
A soldier from Jianrui Camp fell, two, three... Ten soldiers from Jianrui Camp rushed up.
One-third of the soldiers under Wang Jingchang's men had fallen, but the Qing soldiers were still crowded, as if they could not count them.
"Die, die, everyone die..." Wang Jingchang's eyes were not sure whether blood was splashed in his eyes, or whether it was really red, and extremely scarlet.
Since you are looking for death, I will send you to death!
"Uncle Six, Uncle Six. Order the medicine barrel and the medicine powder barrel. I will die with them!"
Wang Jingchang roared hysterically.
He was not afraid of death after all this. He was not afraid of death. He was not the timid rat-free person Wang Wei, nor was he like being captured alive by the Qing army and sent to Beijing to cut into pieces. He was still happy to die together!
The rebels still have a lot of gunpowder in their hands.
In this way, six suddenly exploded powder buckets ruined E Bao's offensive tonight and even more ruined E Bao's life.
Landslides and rocks cracked, and huge shock waves swept across the splattering earth and rocks. The small stones are bullets, so it's not too easy to penetrate human flesh and blood.
E Bao's face was covered with small stones and his head was beaten to pieces.
The sound of the earth moving and mountain shaking is completely an earthquake, and it is not comparable to the previous explosion of the mortar cannon flowering bomb.
The soldiers of Jianrui Camp who rushed on the mountain suddenly fell halfway, and their morale was suddenly curbed, although the morale of the rebels completely collapsed.
The sudden explosion not only dealt with a large number of Qing troops, but also sent many rebels to the vacuum hometown of Wusheng's mother.
Chapter completed!
