858. surprise attack on Changlin
"Soldiers, remember today! Remember these brave brothers who sacrificed their lives! Their blood debts need to be paid to the enemy's lives!"
After more than ten piles of flames gradually extinguished, Liu Hongyi stood among the crowd and said such words loudly.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers around him shouted loudly.
This shout seemed to dissipate the rain and mist that spread in the air.
...
On Jinghu North Road, there is also spring rain here. The world seems to be shrouded in misty rain all day long.
On the official roads outside Changlin County, there are people with family members walking, either heading west to Dangyang County or heading south to Jiangling Prefecture.
Liu Tong, the commander of the Changlin Guard Army, led less than two thousand defenders to escort the officials of Changlin County, and were also on his way south.
However, the Changde Prefecture Garrison led by Wen Qi was missing.
They all lie on the cock ridge.
Gongjiling is hundreds of meters above sea level, with undulating mountains and dense vegetation. It is no longer a problem to hide tens of thousands of people.
It was not until Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led Tiangang and the two armies of Tianli arrived at the foot of Gongjiling that Wen Qi led several generals out of the mountains.
He directly said to Su Quandang and asked, "Su Shuai, what's wrong?"
At this moment, they were all covered in rain and looked very wet.
Su Quandang even had water drops on his eyelashes, but there was a smile on his lips, saying, "The Yuan army does not seem to be planning to pursue us, but is to occupy Changlin County."
Wen started to move, "Then are we going to counterattack Changlin County now?"
"No."
Su Quandang shook his head and said, "Maybe our movements are still under the surveillance of the Yuan army. If we want to counterattack Changlin, we still need to continue to confuse them."
Wen Qi looked at the back of the army and said, "Su Shuai means we should continue to pretend to retreat?"
Su Quandang nodded with a smile on his lips, "I and Chief Liu led Tiangang first, and the two armies of Tianli will go first. Commander Wen, please let the soldiers come out of the mountains and break the back. When you reach the outside of Gongji Ridge, Commander Liu and I will lead the special forces regiment, the Flying Group, and the Grenade Battalion to hide in this Gongji Ridge. Commander Wen, lead Tiangang, the Tianli Army and the rest of the soldiers in the garrison army continue to move south, but the marching speed should not be too fast. Every time you pass a dangerous place, you will leave five thousand soldiers to ambush."
Wen Qi was surprised, "Su Shuai, did you and Liu Juncheng just lead the special forces, the flying group, and the grenade launcher to counterattack Changlin County? Is this too dangerous?"
Su Quandang said, "We just bombarded Changlin and didn't enter the city, so there was nothing dangerous. Even if the Yuan army chased us out, wouldn't there be any soldiers you ambushed to help?"
Afterwards, he thought for a while and said, "If our army takes risks, I will send out a signal flare. Then you will let the soldiers come and pick them up."
This is perfect.
Although Wen Qi was still a little hesitant, he knew that there was no need for too many people to counterattack Changlin, so he nodded slowly.
Su Quandang, Liu Zaiyuan led the Tiangang Army, and the Tianli Army continued to travel south.
Wen started to run back to the cock ridge.
Soon, many soldiers of Changde garrison troops walked out of the mountains and forests.
They followed Tiangang and Tianli armies to advance.
And these are really in the eyes of the Yuan army scouts behind.
But no one noticed that after Su Quandang and Liu Zaiyuan led their army out of Gongjiling, they quietly hid in the deep mountains of Gongjiling with several troops.
The Tiangang Army Special Regiment had a "sharp sword" and the Tianli Army Special Regiment had a "breaking the enemy", as well as the grenade battalions and flying regiments among the two armies, a total of nearly 5,000 people.
Among them, sharp swords defeated the enemy, and there were 1,000 people in the army. There were individual grenade launchers battalions, each carrying twenty grenade launchers. There were also Feitian camps, and twenty hot air balloons.
There are two hundred people in the conventional grenade cannon battalions, each carrying a hundred grenade cannons.
The flying group also has a thousand people, with two hundred hot air balloons.
Of course, many of the weapons were added by Zhao Dongting later. The current imperial guards and firearms are much more amazing than before.
Although Zhao Dongting did not want firearms to spread and affect the development direction of the world, he would not joke about the lives of soldiers.
After arriving in the jungle, the thousands of people became dormant.
Wen Qi led more than 20,000 soldiers to continue traveling south as if nothing had happened.
Some scouts from the Yuan army ran back to report the news, while others continued to follow the Song army.
Until late afternoon.
The rain stopped.
Red clouds suddenly rolled in the sky.
Outside Changlin County, the Yuan army finally stopped hesitating and walked towards Changlin County.
Countless food and grass were transported in the army.
Behind the horse is a cart with two huge wooden wheels. On the cart is a piece of grain filled with burlap bags. Each bag is extremely full.
The army spread to no end.
And this scene was naturally seen by scouts from the Song army.
After seeing this scene, these scouts quickly ran towards Gongjiling and found Su Quandang and others in Gongjiling and reported on the movements of the Yuan army.
Su Quandang, Liu Zaiyuan and others all laughed.
Unexpectedly, the Yuan army would hurriedly transport all the food and grass to Changlin County. It seems that although the Yuan army has never attacked the city, they still have a little eager to occupy the garrison.
Ma Feiqi, the leader of the Sword Group, was originally the leader of the personal guard under Su Quandang, and had extraordinary skills. Later, he received the guidance of Su Quandang and had outstanding achievements in marching and fighting.
At this moment, he smiled and said, "Su Shuai, it seems that your plan has been successful."
Su Quandang smiled and said, "Don't talk too much for now. Let's cry the Yuan army in Changlin County! Haha!"
As he said that, he couldn't help laughing louder.
I didn't expect that I could just drive away the Yuan army, but now it seems that there is such a possibility.
The Yuan army transported the food to the city. If all the food was blown up, even if there were many soldiers, they could only retreat.
The night gradually shrouded in.
The originally gloomy sky quickly turned dark.
But there was no fire in the cockrooster ridge.
Su Quandang and others led a large army to hide in the mountains. Some people were trembling with cold, but they all endured it. This battle was of great importance.
The same is true in many mountains south of Gongjiling.
Wen Qi arranged for the soldiers who were ambushing to endure the cold than to light a torch to keep warm.
Further away, the remaining soldiers led by Wen Qi had already set up camp. Torches were stained everywhere in the camp.
You can see soldiers standing vaguely under the fire.
Until late at night.
The soldiers in Gongjiling were still staring at each other.
You can't sleep on such a humid and cold night because it is very easy to cause colds. Some people are drowsy and will always be awakened by their brothers next to you.
"Prepare to set off!"
Su Quandang felt that there was too little time, so he suddenly stood up and said.
Liu Zaiyuan, Ma Feiqi and other generals next to him all stood up, with a slight excitement on their faces, and they ran away.
Soon, thousands of soldiers were traveling through mountains and rivers in such nights, heading towards Changlin County.
From beginning to end, they did not appear on the official road.
They did not appear on the official road until they were about a mile away from Changlin County and had no mountains to walk on.
In such a thick night, it is not easy to move. Some people fall under the cliff, but this is an inevitable thing.
Finally, when they saw the torches on the head of Changlin County, the soldiers all showed relief on their faces.
The army is quiet.
After stopping, Su Quandang ordered to the generals beside him: "Going six hundred meters ahead, let the grenade launcher handrail cannons! After the cannons are fired, the flying group will take off to bomb! Go to the city to bomb!"
All the generals conveyed this order.
At this moment, the Yuan army on the city wall was completely unaware of it.
The grenade launchers in the army touched the city gate again, and did not stop until about 600 meters. Then they set up guns in such a thick night.
This is a technical job.
Fortunately, the grenade launchers in the imperial guards are already very familiar with grenade launchers. Even if they are in the dark, they can combine cannons.
A total of 240 grenade launchers were spread along the line hundreds of meters outside the east wall of Changlin County.
This is definitely a cannon formation.
Since Zhao Dongting invented the grenade launcher, there has not been so many grenade launchers bombing at the same time.
Behind Su Quandang and others, a total of 440 hot air balloons and more than 2,000 flying soldiers were also on high alert.
They covered the ground with hot air balloons and waited for the cannon to ignite the fire.
Finally, a general in front led the way and found Su Quandang, "Su Shuai, the grenade battalion is ready!"
Su Quandang sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth and ordered: "Fire!"
Chapter completed!
