Although Shangguan Hongyuan had a good idea to encircle the point to provide reinforcements, the actual conditions were restricting his actions. Counting the grain and grass supplied from the rear, the 70,000 troops and horses located around Dakou Township only had seven days of rations left. ··························
Seven days of rations is neither too much nor too little, but minus the food needed for the retreat to Jinyang, the 70,000-strong army can still hold on in Dakou Township for three days. After considering the siege of Dakou Township, It may take one to two days to completely annihilate the Fengwu Army.
Therefore, before resting last night, Shangguan Hongyuan made a decision. He was finally waiting for one day. If the Fengwu Army cavalry wandering around did not take the bait after one day, he would not wait at all and go directly to Dakou. A massive attack was launched and the remaining 10,000 Fengwu troops in Dakou Township were completely annihilated.
After looking at Dakou Township for a while, Shangguan Hongyuan also felt that there was too much moisture in the air in the morning. He felt a little uncomfortable because of his age, so he walked down the watchtower. However, Shangguan Hongyuan just returned to the ground with the help of the guards around him. From a distance, I noticed some slight vibrations on the ground.
Sensing this situation, Shangguan Hongyuan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he immediately looked to the northwest. At the same time, the shaking on the ground became more and more intense. The general in charge of the camp's security also realized that the troops were in trouble, and immediately became angry and loud. roared:
"Enemy attack!"
"The cavalry group from the northwest charges the camp!"
As soon as these words came out, the soldier in charge of blowing the trumpet immediately blew the bugle, and in a moment, the camp heard the shrill sound of the bugle.
As the bugle sounded, countless Shenwu Army soldiers who were still sleeping were awakened. Although they did not know what happened, they were well-trained and quickly put on their clothes and armor, picked up their weapons and walked out of the camp to quickly assemble. stand up························
At this time, under the command of Guo Zhiping, tens of thousands of Fengwu Army cavalry rushed towards the camp like dark clouds. Although the Fengwu Army's cavalry were not as skilled as the prairie people in terms of cavalry and shooting skills, in order to make up for this To make matters worse, the First Manufacturing Bureau of the Fengwu Army also tailor-made special horse muskets for the cavalry of the Fengwu Army.
Although the horse blunderbuss is not as powerful as the Weiyuan blunderbuss and Polu blunderbuss installed by the Fengwu Army, it is more advantageous in that it is simple to operate and has small recoil, and can be used on horseback. Therefore, it is also loved by the Fengwu Army cavalry. At this time, the horse blunderbuss, Under the joint attack of the Tiger Crouching Cannon and the light red-coated cannon, the Fengwu Army cavalry with only 10,000 people actually suppressed the firepower in the Shenwu Army Camp.
The Fengwu Army cavalry also used this opportunity to quickly clear away the horses and wooden piles in front of the Shenwu Army camp, filling in the trenches in front of the camp, clearing all obstacles for the Fengwu Army cavalry to rush into the enemy camp. .
Shangguan Hongyuan, who observed this scene with a telescope in the camp, was also furious. He looked at the Shenwu Army commander Liu Zhan'ao beside him and asked:
"Where are our cavalry?"
After hearing the news, Liu Zhan'ao said with embarrassment:
"I would like to inform you, Mr. Chief Assistant, that there was an enemy situation on the east side of Dakou Township yesterday. With your approval, commanding comrade Zhang Jin led two battalions of more than 7,000 cavalry to where they went... ·······”
When Shangguan Hongyuan heard this, he remembered what he had instructed yesterday. He suddenly realized that he had fallen into the enemy's plan to divide the troops. Although he was a little upset, he definitely could not mess up his position at this time. He frowned and thought. A few seconds later, Shangguan Hongyuan asked again:
"How many cavalry are there in the camp?"
"There is about a battalion of more than 2,000 people!"
Shangguan Hongyuan looked solemn when he heard this and said:
"Send them all out to harass the enemy!"
Liu Zhan'ao obviously had some disagreements with Shangguan Hongyuan's order, and he subconsciously said;
"Sir, if you rush out at this time, more than two thousand people may have to..."
Just when Liu Zhan'ao was still thinking about what words to use, Shangguan Hongyuan became very angry and shouted loudly;
"You bastard, are you still worrying about the life and death of those two thousand people at this time?"
"You haven't seen it yet. These bastards from the Fengwu Army are here to surround Wei and save Zhao! They are here to fight for my life, Shangguan Hongyuan!"
After being prompted by Shangguan Hongyuan, Liu Zhan'ao also understood the danger of the matter. His expression immediately changed and he nodded without saying a word:
"Understood! Sir, I will go and arrange it..."
After saying that, Liu Zhan'ao left in a hurry. Looking at his leaving figure, Shangguan Hongyuan shook his head with some disappointment. His old subordinates had made great achievements for him a year ago, and the commander of the Shenwu Army made Yang Chongqing's old illness relapse. Being bedridden, Shangguan Hongyuan could only let him recuperate at home, and then promoted Liu Zhan'ao to be the commander of the Shenwu Army.
In terms of loyalty, Liu Zhan'ao is certainly no worse than Yang Chongqing, but in terms of loyalty, none of the three Liu Zhan'ao can compare to Yang Chongqing. If Yang Chongqing was here, why would the situation in central Jin be like this?
Just when Shangguan Hongyuan was missing his old subordinates, one mile northwest of the Shenwu Army Camp, a messenger reported to Guo Zhiping:
"Lord Commander, our army has cleared the attack route!"
Hearing this, the serious-looking Guo Zhiping nodded slightly. Things were progressing smoothly and faster than expected. It took about a cup of tea. I hope this next offensive has a good start!
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiping turned his eyes to the Fengwu Army cavalry arrayed aside. There were about three hundred of these Fengwu Army cavalry. Each of them had a very determined expression, with fierce and murderous intent in their eyes, as if they were going to kill him at any time. Fight with the enemy for your life!
Their attire is almost the same as that of the ordinary Fengwu Army cavalry. The only difference is that each of these three hundred people has a small baggage with a fuse... ···············
Looking at the three hundred cavalry, Guo Zhiping also felt a little sad in his heart. If there was no other way, he would not have wanted to come to this point, but at this time, the situation that his third army was in was a narrow escape, and he could only try his best to die. Only by seeking survival can we gain a glimmer of hope!
Thinking of this, Guo Zhiping no longer hesitated and shouted in a deep voice:
"Bring me the wine!"
Following Guo Zhiping's order, the guards on the side poured a glass of white wine for each of Guo Zhiping and the 300 warriors. As the commander, Guo Zhiping picked up the wine bowl and said loudly to the 300 warriors:
"I, Guo Zhiping, would like to toast all brothers with this glass of wine!"
After he finished speaking, Guo Zhiping also drank all the white wine in the bowl. Looking at the heroic Guo Zhiping, the three hundred people also shouted in unison:
"Respect the commander!"
After saying that, the three hundred people also finished their drinks. After finishing their drinks, Guo Zhiping, with a firm look on his face, promised loudly:
"From now on, as long as I, Guo Zhiping, have a bite to eat, I will never let any of your brothers' families go hungry! If I break this oath, it will be like this bowl!"
After saying that, Guo Zhiping slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground. With a crisp sound, the wine bowl immediately fell into pieces. Looking at the fragments of the wine bowl, the three hundred warriors were very moved and answered in unison;
"Thank you very much for your sympathy, Commander! I will repay your kindness in the next life!"
Guo Zhiping closed his eyes and nodded:
"Go!"
As soon as these words came out, the three hundred warriors saluted Guo Zhiping one after another, and then embarked on their journey... ·····
After a cup of tea, more than two thousand Shenwu Army cavalry rushed out from the gate of the Shenwu Army camp. Shangguan Hongyuan asked them to break out of the Fengwu Army blockade regardless of casualties, and bypass the flanks of the Fengwu Army cavalry to harass them. This was used to attract the attention of the Fengwu Army and reduce the defensive pressure on the front of the camp.
Although Shangguan Hongyuan was given an important task, as soon as this two thousand cavalry showed up, they were hit by the Fengwu Army's concentrated fire attack. Guns and artillery shells hit their heads like raindrops. More than a hundred cavalry Both men and horses were immediately knocked to the ground.
Although the casualties were very heavy, the mission assigned by Shangguan Hongyuan still allowed these Shenwu Army cavalry to rush out bravely. At this time, Guo Zhiping also came to the front line, and he immediately ordered that the enemy troops must not be allowed to rush out.
After receiving Guo Zhiping's order, the Fengwu Army cavalry also stood ready. After several cavalry charges from both sides, hundreds of Shenwu Army cavalry were killed. Seeing that there was no hope of standing out, they could only retreat to the camp with their tails between their legs.
Seeing that the time had come, Guo Zhiping directly ordered a general attack without any hesitation. Under the cover of firepower from the rear, tens of thousands of Fengwu Army cavalry shouted slogans of loyalty to the commander and walked along the paved road towards the Shenwu Army. Zhaimen launched the most violent attack···························
Shangguan Hongyuan on the watchtower observed this scene, and his right eyelid jumped suddenly, which immediately made him feel a little bad.
Although he did not expect that this Fengwu army would not follow common sense and did not go to save his comrades in Dakou Township, but instead came to him to desperately try to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao. However, out of caution, Shangguan Hongyuan also ordered his soldiers to build this camp. It was very strong and equipped with trenches to resist horses, so Shangguan Hongyuan did not panic after being attacked by the enemy.
It was precisely because of the obstruction of these horse-rejecting trenches that the Fengwu Army's cavalry had no way to directly attack the stronghold. They could only clear out the horse-rejecting trenches and fill up the trenches. In Shangguan Hongyuan's view, they had reached this point. The enemy's raid this time has been declared a failure, and their outcome is destined to be heavy casualties and failure!
But at this time, his right eyelid was twitching very hard, which made him feel a little suspicious...
Are there any methods the enemy has not used yet?
When Shangguan Hongyuan realized this possibility, the Fengwu Army cavalry had already rushed within a hundred steps of the camp. The Shenwu Army soldiers in the camp also used Shenwu muskets and Zhengdong cannons to bombard the Fengwu Army cavalry. and shooting, hundreds of Fengwu Army cavalry fell in a pool of blood.
However, despite the heavy casualties, the Fengwu Army's cavalry charge still did not stop, and the slogan "loyal to the commander-in-chief" was still heard.
And when the Fengwu Army cavalry rushed fifty steps in front of the stronghold, the momentum of the Fengwu Army cavalry charge suddenly changed, and the three hundred warriors rushed to the front of the team... ·········
In the horrified eyes of the Shenwu Army officers, three hundred warriors pulled off the fuse three times in succession, and then heard a loud noise. The gate of the village guarded by the Shenwu Army was blown open, followed by the Fengwu Army cavalry. He was not afraid of being killed, and followed closely into the enemy camp.
At this time, the thousands of Shenwu troops guarding the gate of the village had not yet recovered from the explosion. They were lying on the ground and howling like ghosts. At this time, the Fengwu Army cavalry that rushed towards them were like demons coming out of Abi Hell. Waving the butcher knife in his hand, he ruthlessly harvested the lives of these people.
Seeing the enemy cavalry breaking into the camp, Liu Zhan'ao, the commander of the Shenwu Army, also changed his expression, and immediately asked Shangguan Hongyuan:
"Master Chief Assistant, please retreat to the back village! I will drive the enemy out immediately!"
Faced with Liu Zhan'ao's request, Shangguan Hongyuan also lost his temper at this time, looked around angrily and said loudly:
"I'm not going anywhere! I'm right here. I want to watch you drive the enemy troops out!"
Seeing Shangguan Hongyuan's temper rising, Liu Zhan'ao secretly cried out in his heart and knelt down and begged:
"The rich son of the chief minister cannot sit down in the hall. Please push him to the back village immediately. If you can't repel the enemy, you must raise your head to see him..." ········”
In response to Liu Zhan'ao's plea, the angry Shangguan Hongyuan still showed no face at all. He pulled out the sword from his waist and put it on Liu Zhan'ao's neck and shouted angrily:
"I order you, Liu Zhan'ao, not to talk nonsense with me here, but drive the enemy troops out immediately!"
As soon as Shangguan Hongyuan finished speaking, Liu Zhan'ao saw that he could not persuade Shangguan Hongyuan and had no choice but to give up. He immediately stood up and prepared to execute the order. At this critical moment, a stray bullet was shot from nowhere and hit Shangguan Hongyuan directly. A guard beside Yuan's neck.
The next second, red blood spread across Shangguan Hongyuan's face. Seeing Shangguan Hongyuan's face covered in blood, the surrounding guards were all frightened.
Although Shangguan Hongyuan shouted that I was fine, Liu Zhan'ao and the surrounding guards naturally did not dare to let Shangguan Hongyuan stay here anymore after being so frightened. They immediately ignored Shangguan Hongyuan's order and held the six-year-old man in front of him. In the tenth month of the dynasty, the first assistant of the dynasty retreated to the rear stronghold.
Seeing Shangguan Hongyuan's withdrawal, the Shenwu Army, which had reorganized its defense line to resist, suddenly became disorganized and was once again overwhelmed by the Fengwu Army cavalry!
Seeing that the situation had become so bad, and countless Shenwu Army soldiers fell in blood, Liu Zhan'ao, the commander of the Shenwu Army, was helpless even though his eyes were splitting with anger. Although he was very reluctant, he had no choice at this time. All we can do is command:
"Send an order to Wang Muzhi and ask him to come to the rescue quickly..."
