The Jin army set up camps in two places. The distance between the two camps was not large, only three or four miles. If an unexpected military situation occurred, support could be provided at any time.
At this time, there were only a little more than 80,000 people in the Jin Army. In order to balance the two camps, 40,000 people were divided into each camp. The camp was set up in one day.
While setting up camp, Xiyi and Zong Han began to dig trenches in front of the camp and packed some soil and sand in sacks to form lines of defense.
However, on the night when the two camps of the Jin Army were set up, Xiyi and Zong Han were exhausted and just fell asleep. Suddenly, a burst of fierce artillery fire rang out in the Jin Army's camp.
Then there were screams one after another. Zong Han and Xiyi were awakened by the sound and rushed out of their tents in shock. What they saw was that the tents were being destroyed by artillery fire flying from a distance.
The entire camp was filled with flames, followed by screams and soldiers fleeing in all directions. Xiyi and Zong Han's eyes were splitting as they couldn't believe what they saw.
How is this possible... They are more than ten miles away from the people's army camp in front. At this distance, their artillery can't even hit half of it. But the artillery of the People's Army over at Yunze could actually cover the entire camp.
They were regarded as targets by the People's Army on the opposite side. Xiyi and Zong Han almost vomited blood when they saw the tragic situation in front of them.
He secretly resented why the People's Army did not attack during the day, why they did not attack when they were setting up camp, but waited until they had set up camp and set up camp, and then waited until they fell asleep before firing artillery.
This is just to play with them. They are standing there and letting the people's army on the opposite side fight them, and they can't even get past them. No one could be seen.
There were heavy casualties on his side, but the enemy could not be found. This feeling of suffocation made the two of them tremble with anger. Their throats sweetened, and Xiyi and Zong Han vomited blood together.
It's ridiculous that they still want to fight a protracted war with the People's Army. It's ridiculous that they think they can learn the tactics of the People's Army. Only now do they realize how ridiculous they are.
They want to learn the tactics of the People's Army, but the People's Army doesn't give them a chance to use them. New tactics come at a moment's notice. This kind of long-range strike is simply tailor-made for them.
It's too late to break up the stronghold and escape now. Moreover, if they retreat at this time, they may encounter a strong attack by the People's Army, and then they may be defeated thousands of miles away.
Xiyi and Zonghan came to their senses, and quickly extinguished the lights in the camp and extinguished the fire. Everyone dispersed, not giving the People's Army a chance to see their target and losing the obvious target. The People's Army should not I will attack them again.
Sure enough, as the lights of the two camps were extinguished, the People's Army seemed to really be unable to find its target, and the attack stopped.
After waiting for about half an hour and seeing that there was no further artillery fire, Zong Han and Xiyi ordered someone to inventory the battlefield and inventory the losses.
About half an hour later, the damage was inventoried. This time, they were attacked by artillery fire for nearly half an hour, even if it was not an intensive artillery attack.
However, due to initial negligence, the camps on both sides each lost nearly 2,000 people, and the army of more than 80,000 people lost nearly 4,000 people in total. The reduced Jin Army now only has about 78,000 people left.
Xiyi and Zonghan's veins popped out, and besides anger, their eyes were filled with rage and helpless roars. Even if they know that they are being tricked by the other side, what can they do? He tried to fight back but couldn't.
The two were exhausted, and for the first time they felt the fear of fighting the People's Army. Compared with the fear of being dominated by Yun Ze in Tokyo, the fear of being dominated was deeper.
They were really too tired. Seeing that the other side seemed not to continue the artillery attack, Zong Han and Xi Yi quickly called for people to watch the night. They were going to sleep. They were really too tired. Tired!
This time, they learned the lesson and did not light any more candles. It was not that they didn’t want to light it, but they really didn’t dare to light it. They were afraid that if a tiny bit of fire light spread to the other side, allowing the other side to capture the position and bombard them again, then Trouble.
It was already close to midnight. Not only Zong Han and Xi Yi were exhausted to death, but also the soldiers under their command were mentally weak, with fear in their eyes.
Even before the battle was fought, their morale was already greatly reduced. Xiyi and Zonghan had a vague feeling that if they continued like this, they would be defeated without having to confront the People's Army head-on.
Zong Han and Xi Yi eagerly look forward to the arrival of Abao's troops. Only with Abao's troops can they have a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Even now, they don't think that all the 100,000 people on Wanyan Abao's side will be wiped out. After all, Wanyan Abao was facing Beijing's Ming Army. Compared with the People's Army and their Jin Army, what kind of combat power could Beijing's Ming Army have. It is simply a daydream to destroy their 100,000 gold army.
Just as they were falling asleep, on the People's Army artillery position opposite, Yue Pengju was standing there, with five of his generals next to him, and everyone was eager to try.
"Commander, aren't you going to attack? This is a good opportunity. The artillery attack just now must have frightened them. If this time passes, the Jin army will be defeated. We have 150,000 troops in our hands. Now The Jin army may not even have 80,000 troops left."
Yang Xing said to Yue Peng excitedly. The remaining four people were also full of excitement when they heard this.
Hearing this, Yue Pengju shook his head and said seriously: "They were digging trenches during the day, and they also had firearms. We rushed over. Although we can eliminate them, they have not lost their will to fight yet, even if we If we can win, it will definitely be a miserable victory. Don't be impatient... We'll grind them down slowly, and besides, Young Master has already cut off their retreat."
"This time, they won't be able to escape. Even if we win, we will win completely. The lives of the People's Army soldiers are more valuable than theirs." Having said this, he looked at the dark night sky opposite, even if there was a trace of moonlight. But at such a long distance, the telescope cannot see the situation over there.
If there had not been fire before, their artillery would not have been able to hit that side. After the fire went out, although they could continue bombarding based on memory, such accuracy would be greatly missed. After all, the artillery would shift after one hit.
If you want to aim again, you can only aim by the light of the fire, otherwise you will waste ammunition.
At this time, he suddenly curled up the corner of his mouth and said to the generals beside him: "They should be sleeping again now, why not give them another surprise."
Following his voice, the eyes of the surrounding generals suddenly lit up, with surprise in their eyes.
"Commander, are you ready to..." Yang Xing asked tentatively. He did not continue what he said, but looked behind him. Following his gaze, he saw hot air balloons rising one by one.
"Haha... Okay, we can see them showing off their power again. This time it's enough for those golden bandits to drink a pot!"
Everyone burst into hearty laughter, their eyes filled with anticipation. They knew what Yue Pengju was planning to do. Since the establishment of the Air Force, they have had very few opportunities to see the Air Force in combat.
But every time the Air Force goes to war, their blood boils. The air force can be said to be a crushing weapon. No matter what enemy you encounter, you won't even have a chance to resist.
Following their laughter, the hot air balloon quickly rose into the air and flew towards the Jin Army's position ahead. There were hundreds of hot air balloons dispatched this time.
After Yuncheng's military industry and several other military factories were put into production, not only artillery and rifles have been mostly equipped with the army, but the Air Force now has three hundred hot air balloons alone.
Yue Pengju brought a hundred hot air balloons this time. He was preparing to give the Jin Army a big one. Not giving the Jin army any chance to breathe.
During the two days that the Jin army came here, they were almost exhausted. First, 10,000 people were killed, and the 20,000 people who attacked from both sides were killed, and nearly 10,000 people were killed.
He finally wanted to fight a protracted war with the People's Army, but he didn't expect that Yue Pengju would not give him any chance to rest. So far, the Jin Army has lost more than 20,000 people, and the People's Army has not even suffered half a casualty.
This period of fighting made the Jin Army on the opposite side feel aggrieved, but the morale of the People's Army was unprecedentedly high. Everyone is beaming.
At this time, not only several generals and coaches were watching the excitement, but also many soldiers.
The hot air balloon flew several miles ahead, and it took less than a quarter of an hour. At this time, in the Jin Army camp, the Jin Army who were keeping watch also saw the light spots flying from the opposite side. From far to near, the light spots penetrated Through the moonlight, a huge round ball can be faintly seen.
All the night watch golden soldiers didn't know what it was for a while, but they couldn't warn them casually. After all, everyone was too tired and finally fell asleep. If they woke up randomly, they would be eaten alive by those people.
Moreover, when they saw something flying into the sky, they were all dumbfounded by such a miracle, and even had the urge to worship.
While the Jin Army was watching in shock, these spheres flew over their heads. Through the moonlight, the People's Army soldiers on the hot air balloon saw the Jin Army camp stationed below. There were fifty hot air balloons on each side of the camp. spread over the camp.
As the first People's Army dropped its ammunition, more than fifty People's Army soldiers on the hot air balloon began a full-scale bombing.
They have been strictly trained to throw bombs, and they throw them accurately and hard. Almost every bomb will hit a tent. Suddenly the sound of explosions, accompanied by screams, filled the entire camp again.
Xiyi and Zong Han had just squinted their eyes and had just started to wake up from sleep. They were awakened by the shocking explosion. Their first reaction was to be confused. Didn't people already put out the candles?
Who dared to light a candle? They had the urge to cut their disobedient soldiers into pieces. They were even more furious, and the two of them rushed out of the camp angrily.
While they were thankful that their camp had not been bombed, they were about to ask about the situation, but what they heard were the sounds of explosions everywhere, and the sight of their soldiers looking towards the sky in horror and fleeing.
The two of them looked up at the sky from their respective camps. Their expressions were dull for a moment, and then their faces were full of shock. How could this be possible...
They saw the ball in the air, and the exploding ammunition fell from the sky. They blew up the people below and fled in all directions. His eyes were full of fear and despair.
The two of them felt chills in their hearts. They no longer had the high spirits they had when they arrived, and no longer had the ecstasy of being about to capture Jingchao. Instead, they only had a sense of powerlessness and deep fear. What kind of existence did they... provoke?
They have been fighting for half their lives, and even when they destroyed the Khitan, they were not as aggrieved and fearful as they are now. At that time, they charged and killed wantonly, and the Khitan people were like chickens and dogs in front of him.
But now? They excitedly reached Danyang City in Yunze, but what did they face? They didn't even have a chance to fight the People's Army head-on.
The firearms they were proud of had never been effective. What shocked them even more was that the weapons of the People's Army were far more advanced than theirs, and their tactics were even more advanced.
From sniping to shelling, and now... Sora? Attack! ? Words like this popped up instinctively in his mind. An attack from the sky was an air raid!
The soles of their feet were sweating. How could they fight such a battle? Not to mention whether they can fight or not, this weapon alone makes them unable to fight.
"Raise the camp and...withdraw the troops!" Xiyi and Zong Han both issued orders instantly. At the same time, they each conveyed the news of the withdrawal to another military camp of their companions.
There is no way, if they don't withdraw their troops, they are afraid that the People's Army will be tortured to death here. There will be bombings from time to time. How many of them can be the targets of the People's Army?
Even if they couldn't bomb at night, if it came during the day, he was glad that the People's Army did not bomb during the day.
But he didn't know that the reason why Yue Pengju didn't bomb during the day was to give them an opportunity to set up camp, so as not to scare them away from the bombing during the day.
It's a little late to think of evacuating now, but we can't do it without evacuating. Those balls in the sky are like reminders, constantly harvesting the lives of their soldiers.
As they issued the order, the Jin Jun who reacted immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts were filled with ecstasy. They were really afraid. The unknown fear made them almost go crazy.
In just two days, they were tortured to the point of collapse by the People's Army. They had lost the courage to fight against the People's Army. If they did not leave, they were afraid that they would die here along with their comrades for no apparent reason.
The explosions in the air continued, which greatly affected the Jin army's withdrawal, but it did not affect their withdrawal. Zong Han and Xiyi decided to abandon most of their supplies and leave lightly.
They originally wanted to wait for Abao to join them, but now they couldn't wait any longer. They had no choice but to leave here first and then find a way to counterattack.
Just after the Jin Army's withdrawal movement appeared, Yue Pengju in the distance had seen everything through his telescope. The Jin Army camp was in flames and the entire army was fleeing in panic.
He frowned, with a look of thought in his eyes. Yang Xing and the others beside him also saw this situation, and their eyes suddenly showed anxiety.
"Commander, those grandsons can't stand it. They're going to run away, but we can't let them run away!"
"Yes, Marshal, give the order to keep them here. Moreover, if they escape to the Young Master, with the strength of the Young Master's side, I am afraid they will..."
There was anxiety and worry in the eyes of several people, but more importantly, they were excited and excited. They wanted to go out to fight. Until now, except for one battle with King Zuikang's army, they have stayed here until now.
King Kang's army was so overextended that they didn't fight at all. They didn't fight happily. When they encountered someone from the Jin Army who was slightly stronger, they wanted to go against them.
When Yue Pengju heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said in a cold voice: "Okay... fight... you each lead 10,000 cavalry, divide them into three teams, and sneak over from three directions. If they leave the camp, I will chase them." , beat them hard, if it’s just the suspected soldiers who lure us over, you’ll come back.”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xing and the five men immediately accepted the order. They ran down with joy on their faces. Soon, 50,000 cavalrymen from the People's Army were dispatched.
The remaining people stayed on the position, and the faces of the soldiers guarding the position were full of envy. He looked at his departing comrades with burning eyes.
At the same time, the raid stopped as the whole Jin army escaped from the camp, not only because of the difficulty of pursuing the bombing, but also because the ammunition they brought was almost used up.
Even though Zong Han and Xi Yi knew that the ammunition in the air might be used up, they did not dare to gamble anymore. This was the best time to leave. If they waited for the balls to go back and bring in ammunition, they would face the fear of being bombed again. .
The Jin army was indeed good at riding. After reorganizing their army, they quickly left the camp. The entire army was divided into two groups, and everyone who could walk left.
Zong Han and Xilai had no time to count the losses, but judging from the size of the military formation, they probably lost another five to six thousand people this time. It is estimated that there are ten thousand people in total.
In other words, the 100,000-strong army that arrived fought for two days and lost more than 30,000 people. The most annoying thing is that they have not had a direct confrontation with the People's Army until now.
Just thinking about Zong Han and Xi Yi makes me want to vomit blood. They glanced behind them bitterly and quickly rode away.
But just at this glance, their pupils shrank instantly.
