Looking at the silent 14th Division, Zhang Chongyun also knew what they were thinking, and immediately said: "Everyone, our guard battalion will be responsible for this night attack, but I need you to help me with the sheep attack..." ·························" Hearing what Zhang Chongyun said, several people from the 14th Division also exchanged glances, and then Ye Fu asked He said: "Commander Zhang, how do you want us to cooperate with you?" Because of the failure of the previous night attack, Ye Fu was not very interested in Zhang Chongyun's idea of a night attack, but what was Zhang Chongyun's status, and what he proposed The Guards Battalion was responsible for this operation, so Ye Fu was also prepared to let Zhang Chongyun give it a try.
After all, if Zhang Chongyun successfully blows up the enemy's Serban cannon, then the defense of Wugang Mountain will undoubtedly be much easier.
Zhang Chongyun also introduced after hearing this: "Due to the previous night attack, the enemy troops defended their artillery positions very tightly and the security was very tight. According to the observations of the scouts, there were at least 5,000 enemy troops around the artillery positions, so I thought If you want to take action, you need to lure the enemy away!"
"So my plan is to have your troops attack the sheep at night, and then lure out the guards at the artillery position, and then our troops will make a surprise attack!" Ye Fu fell into thinking after hearing this, and the other three tenth officers present here The commanders of the fourth division exchanged glances again.
Zhang Chongyun's plan sounds very constructive, but the requirements for the 14th Division's Sheep Attack have also increased a lot... Opposite side The Kipchaks are not stupid. The sheep attack of a small group of troops will definitely not be able to draw them out. The sheep attack force needs to reach at least 3,000 people to draw out the enemy. The 14th Division is currently in Wugan. Shan, the total number of soldiers and horses that can still fight is only more than 7,000, and the scale of 3,000 is close to the average!
And the most important thing is that due to the limited field of vision at night, the firearms that the Fengwu Army is best at cannot play much of a role. Although the enemy's cavalry also has difficulty playing a role, the enemy's Kipchak Tiger Division, as the Kipchak Khan The most elite force in the country, its individual combat capability is much better than that of the newly formed force of the 14th Division.
Therefore, once too many troops are sent for a night attack, it will be easy to succeed, but if it fails, it is very likely to turn into a large-scale rout under the impact of the enemy at night!
It was precisely with this in mind that Ye Fu only sent a force of about 500 men to attack the enemy at night, but did not send too many troops to attack at night.
So when they heard Zhang Chongyun's suggestion, everyone including Ye Fu remained silent. After a moment, Sun Kai broke the silence and asked Zhang Chongyun: "I don't know how many troops you plan to send to the night attack, Commander Zhang?" Although feeling the silence of Ye Fu and others, Zhang Chongyun realized that they might not support his idea, but he still said truthfully: "I plan to send 500 people, and I will personally lead the team to carry out this operation..." ··················" Hearing Zhang Chongyun's words, Ye Fu couldn't help but frown slightly. In his opinion,
"Commander Zhang, your courageous idea is very good, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the night attack needs to be considered in the long term!" Faced with Ye Fu's polite refusal, Zhang Chongyun seemed to want to say something else, but at this time Ye Fu He had already started asking some of his subordinates about logistics. Seeing the attitude of Ye Fu and others, Zhang Chongyun couldn't help but sigh secretly and shut up.
The sun had just risen the next morning. Under Esdogan's order, the soldiers of the Kipchak Tiger Division began to assemble. Soon, the shells of the Serban heavy artillery fell one after another on the Fengwu Army's position. However, the soldiers of the 14th Division were accustomed to this kind of bombardment by the enemy, and they all hid in the fortifications in advance.
Therefore, although the Serban heavy artillery seemed to be very powerful, the actual effect was not very good. Dozens of shells were fired in a burst of shelling, but only dozens of soldiers of the Fengwu Army were killed and injured.
Because as a nomadic people on the grassland, the Kipchaks are very confident in their riding and shooting skills. Therefore, even if they have sharp weapons like the Serban heavy artillery, the Kipchaks do not study how to use it, but regard it as a weapon. A secondary weapon to use.
Therefore, the level of these Kipchak gunners is very limited, which also causes the accuracy of the Serban heavy artillery in their hands to be erratic... ··In such a situation, if soldiers launch a charge during shelling, it is easy to blow up their own people. This has happened many times in the past wars, and it has also caused some disputes within the Kipchak Khanate.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem and avoid this situation from happening again, Esdogan directly ordered that in future battles, the soldiers would not charge at the same time as the shelling, but wait until the shelling was over before the soldiers charged.
At this time, after a round of shelling, the Kipchak soldiers roared like wild beasts and launched an attack on the Fengwu Army's position on Wugang Mountain!
Faced with this kind of charge from the enemy, the Fengwu Army's Fengwu Guns, Weiyuan Guns, and Tiger Crouching Cannons also started shooting. But just like before, although these firearms can do a lot of damage to the enemy, they are very difficult to do so. Suppressed the attack of the Kipchak Tiger Division.
Half a stick of incense later, and after paying more than a hundred lives, the Kipchak Tiger Division began to approach the Fengwu Army's camp, and the two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.
On the Fengwu Army side, under the orders of generals at all levels, all soldiers tried to maintain a formation in which the swordsmen and axemen were in the front, and the spearmen were second and the gunmen were last.
As for the Kipchaks, as prairie people, riding and shooting seems to be their innate instinct. Although their cavalry attacks are subject to certain restrictions in the mountainous and hilly terrain of the Wugang Mountains, their archery skills It can still function normally... However, they were basically able to hit two out of three arrows. Under the cover of this rain of arrows, the soldiers of the Kipchak Tiger Division had been trying to rely on their personal bravery to rush into the battle formation of the Fengwu Army.
The Kipchaks are very aware of their advantages in personal bravery, so as long as they can destroy the Fengwu Army's military formation, they can give full play to their advantages. By then, it will be easy to defeat the Fengwu Army and capture Wugang Mountain. !
Seeing that the soldiers' originally compact battle formation began to become loose in the face of the constant impact and pull of the enemy troops. Seeing this, Ye Fu not only felt his heart sink, but also realized that the Kipchak generals were not just for nothing. Several days of fighting also allowed the other side to find a way to deal with their side.
Seeing that the soldiers under his command were becoming increasingly unsustainable under the constant attack of the enemy, Ye Fu couldn't help but look at Zhang Chongyun beside him.
In the past few days, Zhang Chongyun and the soldiers of the Guards Battalion under his command have been acting as fire-fighting captains under Ye Fu, and they have to go to the rescue wherever there is danger!
So when faced with this situation now, the first thing Ye Fu thought of was Zhang Chongyun's role. Originally, Ye Fu had no intention of letting Zhang Chongyun and the Guards Battalion go into battle so soon, but now it seems that there is no other choice... ········································Feeling Ye Fu’s gaze, Zhang Chongyun also understood what the other party meant, and immediately nodded heavily, and then With a wave of his hand, hundreds of personal guards rushed out from the Fengwu Army camp. Their appearance immediately helped the Fengwu Army stabilize the battle line.
However, at this moment, Esdogan in the Kipchak army formation could not help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. What he was waiting for was this moment when he ordered: "Let the warriors start hunting! Let the ordinary soldiers go." Military forces, concentrate all their efforts on hunting down these Ye Mingsheng’s personal guards!”
"Yes!" As Esdogan's order was issued, the archers of the Kipchak Tiger Division immediately let go of the Fengwu Army of the 14th Division and aimed their bows and arrows at the Guards Battalion as much as possible. Compared with ordinary Fengwu Army soldiers, the better equipment of the battalion officers also made them very easy to distinguish. Under such precise hunting, more than ten Fengwu Army guards were soon hit by arrows.
Seeing this situation, the smile on Estogan's face became even stronger. In his opinion, the Kipchak Khan, the firearms of the Fengwu Army were indeed as powerful as the rumors. In the past few years, God caused a lot of trouble and huge casualties to the elite Kipchak Tiger Division.
But if this is the case, then the 14th Division will not be able to hold on now. They will be able to conquer Wugang Mountain two or three days earlier and capture Ye Mingsheng alive... ·······The most important reason why the Fengwu Army was able to persist on Wugang Mountain for so long is the existence of this Fengwu Army's personal guards!
Although Esdogan, as a relentless enemy, should not appreciate them, as a warrior and a pure soldier, Esdogan admires these Ye Mingsheng's personal guards very much!
Although these personal guards are not many in number, they are very brave and good at fighting. In the past nine days, whenever the Kipchak Tiger Division was about to take over Wugang Mountain, they would rush out to turn the tide and save the building. It's about to fall!
If it weren't for these Ye Mingsheng's personal guards, Esdoan felt that they could have taken Wugang Mountain at least three days in advance. He saw the rumored Marshal Ye of the Fengwu Army trembling under his horse's hooves!
But it is a pity that because of the existence of these personal guards, the eagle flag of the Kipchak Khanate is still not planted on the slopes of Wugang Mountain to this day!
So Estoan changed his deployment last night in pain and thought, thinking that priority should be given to attacking these Fengwu army guards and doing the maximum damage to them!
He believed that as long as he caused heavy damage to these Fengwu Army guards and prevented them from playing the role of firefighters in the Fengwu Army formation, then Wugang Mountain would be captured in an instant!
Seeing his men fall one after another, Zhang Chongyun immediately realized the opponent's tactics, but he didn't have a particularly good idea to deal with the opponent's tactics... ····While Zhang Chongyun was thinking hard about countermeasures, Ye Fu had an idea and said to Zhang Chongyun: "Commander Zhang, please let the soldiers of the Guards Battalion exchange clothes with our brothers from the 14th Division, so that the enemy archers I can't tell the difference!" As soon as Zhang Chongyun said this, he immediately ordered both parties to change clothes. As the clothes were exchanged, the Kipchak archers could no longer distinguish effectively. The soldiers of the Guards Battalion and the The difference between the soldiers of the 14th Division!
Seeing that the strategy he came up with was broken by the Fengwu Army, Esdogan was also a little annoyed, but at this time he had no particularly good way, so he could only order the soldiers of the Tiger Division to increase the attack. Try your best to tear apart the Fengwu Army's formation!
The situation fell into a fierce battle for a while. Although the Fengwu Army's situation became very dangerous under the desperate attack of the enemy, under the pressure of the Guards Battalion, the Fengwu Army's formation was never overwhelmed by the enemy.
The fierce battle lasted for a full hour. Seeing that the momentum of the attack on his side gradually decreased, the Fengwu Army's military formation showed no sign of being overwhelmed.
Estogan's face couldn't help but darken, but he also knew that in this situation, continuing to fight would only increase casualties, and it would be impossible to win Wugang Mountain. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Estogan I can only sigh and order to withdraw my troops... The Kipchak soldiers who were about to fall to the lowest point also retreated like a tide. The Fengwu Army on Wugang Mountain also burst into cheers of victory. Ye Fu couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, and then talked to the people beside him. Zhang Chongyun looked at each other and smiled.
Although he managed to hold on and repelled the enemy's attack, it was too dangerous just now! If the enemy army can maintain that momentum and hold on for half a stick of incense, the Fengwu Army's military formation may really be overwhelmed by them!
After pondering for a while, Ye Fu asked Zhang Chongyun: "Commander Zhang, the casualties in your guard camp will definitely be heavy today, but I want to ask you, do you still want to attack the enemy camp at night?" Faced with this Ye Fu Zhang Chongyun seemed very surprised by the sudden question, but he still nodded firmly and said: "I believe my brothers are fine!" Feeling Zhang Chongyun's decisive tone, Ye Mansion said in a deep voice without hesitation: " It's better to choose a day than to hit it, let's start tonight!" Zhang Chongyun was even more surprised when he heard this, wondering why Ye Fu, who had long-term plans last night, would just give it a go now?
It had only been six or seven hours, how could Ye Fu change his gender so quickly?·························· ··
