Chapter 553 The Lang who came to die again
Although the king of Saving the Kingdom was frustrated to attack the station, other areas in the city were progressing smoothly. Dozens of large warehouses built in Tongguan were more than half controlled. However, no matter how you look at the materials in the warehouse, it has nothing to do with the military supplies.
Summer clothing for men and women, summer cloth, bamboo mats, tea, salt, foreign fire, hardware tools, perfumes, foreign dresses... These things cannot be called useless things. If they are sold through appropriate channels, they can still earn a lot of income. But the problem is that this is completely contrary to the original intention of the king's action to save the country. They cannot find the cotton coats and shoes they urgently need, nor can they find guns, bullets and medicines. The traces of arms and wound medicines are missing. Although there are some food, the quantity is far from what they imagined.
Being fooled!
Guo Jian knew that he was used as a gun and became part of the plan to kill two birds with one stone. Needless to ask, the Lu army's pursuit team may be waiting for him outside. As long as he fights out, he will be hit by someone head-on.
Immediately, the scouts sent another news, and a large number of Beiyang soldiers came to attack, posing a huge threat to our army. Several brothers sacrificed themselves and led the Beiyang soldiers to shoot, finally preventing the troops from being beaten and slaughtered.
Guo Jian's expression changed, "What's going on! Why didn't our government's eyeliner send out the news?"
Another soldier came over and muttered a few words in Guo Jian's ear. His expression turned shocked and happy. "Okay! This is the thief in the sky, and we should be saved. Notify the brothers to concentrate their troops and destroy the team in the station. The 20,000-horse team of the Gan army has arrived in Tongguan to help us. The Beiyang soldiers coming outside will be theirs, and the county will be ours. If we fall behind the Gan army, don't live! Tell Mr. Bai not to care about ammunition, fire my guns desperately, and you must suppress the firepower of the station. The other brothers rushed up to me, and whoever snatched those guns will be his!"
Guo Jian's troops and Hu Bai's surrendered troops had a total of more than 40,000 people. In addition to the troops left by Qiang Bai, the attack was about 20,000 troops. Feng Huanzhang's troops stationed at the station were not satisfied with a brigade, and the strength of more than 3,000 people was almost 10 to 1.
Bai Lang's troops were mobilized to the station and began to attack Feng's troops. Because of the capture of Henan, the equipment and training of Bai Lang's troops were stronger than that of Guo's troops in the coalition. Conversely, the desperation of Guo's troops was above the Bai's troops.
These generals from Henan also followed the Beiyang soldiers, lined up in a row, raised their guns and fired their guns in a row, using guns to fight against guns. Several rounds of guns were shot, and then they charged by hand. Feng's troops used guns to rogue guns and bayonets to rogue, without any disadvantage. Feng Huanzhang personally supervised the battle and fought with swords himself. Although the number of soldiers was small, from the scene, he was not at all inferior.
The bayonet was clanging and the charge was on the right hand. This was the first time it was, and no one remembered it. It was just that the corpses on the ground seriously affected the battle between the two sides. If they were not careful, they stepped on the body of the robe and fell to the ground. Before they could stand up, they became a member of the dead body.
The command knife in Feng Huanzhang's hand had already been curled up, and he changed his sword to another ghost-headed sword, and he was still fighting with the enemy. In the northwest, there were many martial arts and boxing. Feng's martial arts are very powerful. He used swordsmanship to fight against these Guanzhong swordsmen, killing each other, destroying one great life after another near the station in this small county town.
"The brigade, the third company commander was killed in battle... the second battalion commander was killed in battle!"
News of the officer's death came over, Feng Huanzhang shook his head and said, "As long as I live, I will support their whole family for the rest of my life." Then he raised his knife and killed him again.
Jiang Hong twitched coldly and grabbed his arm, "Huanzhang, we can't fight like this, we have to be tempted! Didn't the handsome man say he was catching turtles in a jar? Now that the turtle is coming, where is the person who catches turtles? I think he is Zhuge Liang attacking Shangfanggu in a fire, and even Guo Jian takes us to harm him. If not, let's retreat!"
"Retreat? Where can we retreat?" Feng Huanzhang shook his head. If we retreat now, the responsibility for the deterioration of the situation in Shaanxi in the future will be ours. With the order of the Ministry of Army, our numbers will be revoked, and all the brothers will have no food to eat. No matter what his intention is, we have to fight and create a future for the brothers! I'm telling me that all officers go to the grassroots level and go to the front line to fight bayonets. As long as one of our brigades is alive, the station cannot be given to the king to save the country! Besides, listen, guns and cannons are being fired outside, which means that there are also wars outside. I'm afraid that it is not only us who have reinforcements, but also reinforcements on the opposite side."
Outside the city, the sound of guns and cannons had already resounded through the sky. Zhao Guanhou rode on his mount and looked at the opposite side with a telescope. While watching, he said astonished: "What did you say? Old Feng must have scolded me for the eight generations of ancestors in his heart. But who would have thought that there was such a coincidence in the world that he met his old enemies here."
Outside Tongguan County, the Ma Zengshou Cavalry Division, who came from Gansu, began contact with Zhao Guanhou's troops.
The predecessor of this army was the remnant of Dong Wuxing's Wuwei Rear Army. Since Dong Wuxing was killed, the Gansu army has disappeared in the battle sequence. However, the children of its clan still live in Gansu. On the battlefield, life and death are inevitable. Although the Wuwei Forehand Army was guarding the two palaces, the search for the rear army was considered a festival, but it is impossible to rebel for this.
However, Ma Zengshou recently received news from foreigners that Dong Wuxing did not die at the hands of the coalition forces that day, but probably died from the assassination arranged by Zhao Guanhou. Including the millions of silver military pay he robbed from the capital, he was also earned by the Wuwei Forehand.
This hatred, coupled with the support the foreigners are willing to provide, and the complex situation in the northwest, Ma Zengshou finally decided to rebel. Relying on thousands of new foreign guns obtained from Tiel Foreign Company, a loan of 500,000 yuan, and his appeal to avenge Dong Wuxing, he formed a team of nearly 20,000 people. He raised his army in the name of saving the king of Gansu, and then went straight to Shaanxi to find the decisive battle of the Lu army.
He also heard the news about Tongguan Station, and he naturally had no reason to let go of such a piece of fat. In fact, if it weren't for the arrival of the Lu army and the death fight between Feng's troops, the cavalry would probably have been together with Guo Jian's troops to decide the ownership of the spoils.
Now, it is the enemy who meets each other and is very jealous. The outpost battle alone is already quite fierce.
Sun Meiyao patted the horse's head beside her, "Master, let me go. I don't believe that these Tianfang cavalry can be better than Cossacks!"
"That's not to say that, there are too many people in their cavalry brigade and you, both my treasures. I don't want you to lose any losses. First seek stability, then win... Damn, I don't like this kind of battle the most. I have no room for tricks and I don't even have time to arrange for fortifications, so I have to fight to the death. Order the special operations brigade to act according to the exercises and not participate in positional operations. Order the artillery, launch the formation, and prepare all artillery fire!"
In order to annihilate Guo Jian, the troops advanced lightly, so heavy artillery was not carried. They were all two-pound artillery, although the number was large, but their power was limited. Moreover, they could not fire shrapnel, so they could only shoot at the Gansu army with solid iron balls. The Ma Zengshou team was even poorer. They did not have any decent cannons, only dozens of local cannons, and even a general who was used in the Jin Dynasty before.
Ma Zengshou was wearing a pre-Golden Times official uniform, and she was wearing a flower feather. She looked at the Lu army's formation with a monocular telescope, and then ordered: "Boys, it's time to avenge our Dong Shuai! Whoever cuts off Zhao Guanhou's head can divide his women first. I will show my skills and kill them!"
The Gansu Army also had some experience in fighting in the northwest. It was known that when facing a team of Lu Army with fast guns and cannons, it was impossible to rush out the defense with cavalry. Therefore, it was also in the form of horse-riding infantry, and after reaching the battlefield, it changed to infantry charge.
The cavalry is used more as reconnaissance and harassment. Only when they find a suitable opportunity can they launch a cavalry charge. They use the battalion system, with five hundred people as a battalion. When the vanguard attacks, four battalions are sent.
These four battalions include an elite battalion equipped with Tiela fast guns, and the other three battalions are all combs. There are no artillery, but there are guns. As the commander's flag swings, the soldiers shouted and charged towards the vanguard of the Lu army.
The side they were rushing toward was a temporary defense line composed of two infantry battalions. Wang Bincheng gritted his teeth, put the telescope on his face, and shouted to the soldiers: "If you want to live like a person, it depends on today. If even these Gansu troops cannot win, they will die in Shaanxi in the future. Give them some strength to see how powerful we are! "
The two battalions followed him from Huguang and went to Shandong. In name, the two battalions had only one battalion, and Zhao Guanhou supplemented them with the system intact. These troops were trained by Wang Bincheng, and Wu Jingfu had always despised his combat effectiveness and believed that it was an empty military pay and was nothing to take.
In Hunan, they were full of jealousy, and it was the only opportunity to come to Shandong. If they still performed poorly, they would have to be eliminated if they were waiting for their fate. Without pay or food, and leaving their hometown, it would be a dead end.
Therefore, these soldiers fought their best. They did not rush to shoot. The first row of soldiers knelt on one leg, the second row of soldiers raised their guns to aim, and the third row of soldiers' guns were placed in the gap with the second row of soldiers. It was not until the Gansu army's projectiles caused casualties in their own team that the soldiers pulled the trigger violently.
A round of volleys and projectile storm swept through the Gan army, and the sound of shouting suddenly became lowered. The dense formation had a large gap. Then it left bullets and smashed them into the Gan army. These poorly equipped Gan army had no bullets, and after seeing this thing, they didn't know how to dodge.
The explosion sounded, and the ignorant Gan army paid the price for their stupidity. The effect of the bomb left by hand was surprisingly good. Two guards were killed on the spot, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. However, the remaining troops did not know what they were throwing out, thinking that they were facing a new weapon with infinite power, and began to turn around and flee.
What greeted them was the bright sword light of the Gansu Army Law Enforcement Team.
"Escape at the last stage and rectify the Dharma on the spot!" Ma Zengshou stood at the horse and announced loudly. "I don't believe it if I come to me again, and I can't break through his camp!"
Wang Bincheng's troops were greatly motivated due to the victory just now. After finally finding out that they were not a waste, the troops fought more actively. Faced with the second round of attacks by the Gansu army, the soldiers became more and more calm and more confident.
The so-called Tieler quick gun is actually the smoothbore rifle that has been eliminated after the service period of Tieler. The correct head and range cannot be compared with the guns in the hands of the Lu army. Even the Lu rifles are much better than these old guns. The advantage of weapons is reflected in the battlefield, that is, the Lu army can fight the Gan army, but the Gan army's rifles cannot fight the Lu army because of their range.
Moreover, the Gansu army equipped with old guns could not get bayonets, so they could only wave the big blades and launch a hand-to-hand fight at the Wang army. After throwing the bullets out of his hand again, Wang Bincheng suddenly pulled out the sabre and shouted, "Brothers, come with me!" He led the troops and hit a place facing the Gansu army.
"Kill!" As a shout, a cavalry of the Gan army was chopped off by his opponent. The murderer wiped the blood from his face and shook the sabre in his hand. "My name is Long Yang Jian! Come on, deal with these Gan army with me!"
The cavalry contest and infantry contest were almost at the same time. Then, the entry time of the God of War was the God of War. Dozens of balls whizzed by and fell into the Gansu army. The people who beat the horses were neighing. Ma Zengshou pointed at the artillery position angrily, "Boys, get rid of these artillery soldiers with me!"
A chain of horses composed of hundreds of war horses rushed towards the artillery position, but soon they found themselves in a trap. Before the Lu army's artillery position, they built a mine defense line.
This move may not be useful to deal with others, but it is just right to deal with the Gan army, which lacks awareness of new weapons. The horse team rushing in front stomped on landmines, and the people who were bombed were overturned. The other horses were frightened and began to run around. Just as Ma Zengshou was desperately restraining the team, the Lu army's cavalry had already emerged from the flank and cut the Gan army, which was only concerned about the front, under the horse like the wind swept the fallen leaves.
"Ma Zengshou, you are old and outdated after all. This era is no longer your era, the old army's things are not working."
Zhao Guanhou smiled coldly. Reinstein and his foreign soldiers were treasures. He didn't want to waste it in this war of attrition. However, Reinstein's command was far more useful than his foreign soldiers' charge. After a small trial, Ma Zengshou had already suffered a great loss and almost buried himself in.
Reinstein shook his head, "A group of armed thugs, they are not qualified to be opponents of Count Reinstein. War is not just a matter of number of people. They may not lack courage, but they lack skills and level of combat. Let them see what war is."
His orders were issued like flowing water and conveyed downward by the messenger.
"Li Zongyun's brigade, all attack." The immortal general of the Lu army waved his saber and shouted loudly, "I am Li Zongyun, I can't beat Li Zongyun, who is not afraid of death, come!"
"Children, follow me to seek wealth and honor. If you want to seek a wife, open up killing me! Don't take prisoners, say again, let's not take prisoners!" Sun Meiyao rode on the horse, led the cavalry and launched an escalation on the Gansu army.
"Our second mixed brigade is not a coward, it is a man. Let me show you some manly. It's time to make contributions!"
"The cannons are bayonets, and all cannons are bayonets. Our cannon bayonets must also eat something to eat, push the cannons to the front line, and hit these buns of earthy buns!"
Li Zongyun's brigade, Shangquan Mixed Brigade, Cavalry Brigade. One after another, the elite Lu army's banner moved forward, and countless battle flags moved towards the Gansu army's positions.
