Chapter 75 The first battle of the chariots

Faced with twenty cannons, Fan Huisheng's drunkenness was the same. After only one hour of artillery bombardment, the north gate of Pingge City was declared lost.

"Sir, why don't you take advantage of the situation to attack the city?" Zhou Er and other generals saw that the north gate of Pingge City were smashed by artillery and were about to lead their troops to attack. Unexpectedly, they heard the sound of withdrawing troops, so they naturally had to go to the Central Army to find Guan Chongguang to find out.[]

"Who is the general in this battle?" Guan Chongguang actually picked up the airs at his students and asked with a cold face. Zhou Er then remembered that he was not facing Zhou Shixiong, the good lord, but the master who had always been known for his severity. He was so scared that he immediately knelt down.

"Hmph, wait for the opportunity to get up." Guan Chongguang just wanted to hit his student, hoping that he would not forget to be close to Zhou Shixiong. When Zhou Er stood up, Guan Chongguang pointed to the map on the table and said, "Come and see, Taiyuan Prefecture is only three days away from Pingge City. If we continue to attack Pingge City, can we occupy this city within three days?"

"Of course, although Pingge City is strong, it cannot withstand artillery attacks, and tearing the city defense is easy." This problem is not a problem at all. The result of the shelling just now is the best evidence.

"Is the 20,000 troops in the city a piece of paper? We only have 10,000 soldiers. It is enough to completely eliminate these 20,000 enemy troops in two days?" Guan Chongguang continued to ask questions, but Zhou Er's answer this time was not so neat.

"If the enemy in the city fights to the death, it may not be completely destroyed in two days. But the city defense is destroyed, the enemy in the city will not stand it, right?" Zhou Er's statement is very consistent with reality. He has never heard of a defender in that city who will still defend the city when all four gates are broken.

"Oh, how important is, even if we capture Pingge City, how can we sank the stubborn enemies in the city and build the city walls within three days? If we can't do it, the reinforcements from Taiyuan Prefecture will be like us and will break into the city without hesitation!" Guan Chongguang was a little disappointed, and Zhou Er became less and less spiritual, which was far from his expected growth rate.

"Ah," Zhou Er was speechless and couldn't answer. He followed Zhou Shixiong in the past six months to fight, and he just needed to manage his subordinates well. He didn't need to worry about how to fight the war. He developed the good habit of obedience. Now Guan Chongguang used the standards of the chief general to demand him, and obviously had a little too high expectations.

"We brought those 100 chariots this time, and attacking Pingge City was just to transfer the troops from Taiyuan Prefecture. This battle is here on the main battlefield." Guan Chongguang used his finger to draw a circle between Taiyuan City Peace Ge City. Zhou Er understood his intention to fight. He had used this trick of surrounding points and fighting aid.

"Although the chariot looks amazing, no one knows how the actual combat power is. It's a bit risky to do this." Zhou Er raised his objection responsibly, and Guan Chongguang nodded to him, "Don't worry, you will see the results soon."

The Langshan Army broke through the city gate but did not march into the city. Fan Huisheng thought hard but couldn't understand what the Langshan Army was doing. Some subordinates suggested, "General, will the Langshan Army want to force us out of the city to fight?" This statement was the only reasonable explanation, and everyone suddenly realized it.

"Send someone to block the four gates. I want me to go out of the city to fight, but I can't follow their thoughts." Fan Huisheng agreed with this statement very much and made a decision immediately. If you want me to leave the city, I can't go out, it depends on how you can do it to me.

The Langshan Army allowed the Taiyuan Prefecture Army to block the blown North Gate with stone stakes, but only blocked the four gates of Pingge City and acted like a siege to siege you. Both sides were acting, and it was unknown who could win the award.

Van Gandhi got the news two days after the Lang Son Army surrounded Pingge City, and immediately ordered Fan Sitong to lead a 10,000 army to reinforce Pingge City. Van Gandhi had a deeper understanding of the Lang Son Army. He believed that Fan Huisheng's 20,000 men could not withstand the Lang Son Army with artillery. Therefore, Fan Sitong led the most elite troops of Taiyuan Prefecture. Before leaving, Fan Gandhi also gave a face-to-face message and ordered Fan Sitong to rescue Fan Huisheng, so that he could save the troops of Pingge City back to Taiyuan City.

Van Gandhi's abacus started again. He wanted to lure the Liangshan army to besiege Taiyuan City, and use the solid walls of Taiyuan City to hold the Liangshan army back. At the same time, he asked his new master Zheng Zai for help, asking Zheng Zai to send troops to rescue Taiyuan Prefecture. Of course, Van Gandhi's idea was not that simple. He hoped that Zheng Zai and Langshan Prefecture would fight hard. No matter who lost or who won, the Taiyuan Prefecture would be the one who benefited.

But Van Gandhi forgot one thing. Whenever he beat the abacus, some strange phenomena would always appear, causing his calculations that surpassed the actuary to make mistakes frequently. This time it was still the case.

Fan Xitong's 10,000 elite troops set out from Taiyuan City, and after two days and nights of marching to Bange Town, fifty miles away from Pingge City. Fan Xitong saw that his subordinates were exhausted and knew that they had to stop and rest, otherwise it would be useless even if they arrived at Pingge City. They would be exhausted and would be very tired, so how could they fight?

Fan Xitong wanted to rest and someone refused to agree. Yebusheng, who had been monitoring the official road, had already discovered their traces and sent the information back to the Langshan military camp under Pingge City. Guan Chongguang did not expect that the generals of Taiyuan Prefecture would cooperate so much, and immediately ordered Zhou Er to lead three thousand infantry soldiers to cooperate with Yu Jiaao's 100 chariots to ambush near Bange Town, waiting for the arrival of Taiyuan Prefecture's soldiers.

Since Bange Town is located in the margins of the Taiyuan Prefecture Plain, it has a plain landform and is not suitable for ambushing. Guan Chongguang's approach to the opposite direction is beyond the public's imagination, which is also the reason why Fan Xitong easily entered the shell.

"The chariot team attacked!" Zhou was the commander of this ambush battle, and Yu Jiaao was the commander of the chariot battalion. Guan Chongguang clearly divided the power and responsibilities before setting off. Zhou was only responsible for the overall tactics, so how should we inquire about Yu Jiaao on the battlefield. This shows why Yu Jiaao was so excited when he started the order. He finally had the opportunity to stand alone again. It would be strange if he was not excited.

Following Yu Jiaao's order, one hundred chariots were divided into four square formations, and they killed the Taiyuan Prefecture soldiers who were about to camp in a formation of five by five. Cheng Hu and Cheng Bao led a thousand infantry to follow the chariots, allowing Zhou Er to wait for the Langshan army to see what chariot-step coordination is.

Fan Xitong saw a row of moving monsters rushing towards him in the sunset. No matter how he imagined it, he couldn't understand what these moving objects were. After many improvements, the chariots had been unrecognizable to the first version. The trapezoidal shell was hung with various armor and extensions, and the spears protruding from both sides kept swinging in the air, looking like an octopus covered with tentacles.

The crossbow soldiers on the roof of the car were blocked tightly by the shield, so they could carry out loading and shooting guns with confidence. The most worth mentioning is that the Iron Master Craftsman invented the elephant earmuffs, which can effectively reduce the sensitivity of the elephant's hearing and avoid the problem of violent noise causing elephant irritability.

As the chariot gradually approached, Fan Xitong finally saw the appearance of this huge object. Those who kept swaying were not monster tentacles but long spears. This discovery made him feel a little relieved. "Flame!" Yu Jiaao stood on the command chariot and shook the red flag. The communication soldiers on the phalanx of each chariot received a signal and quickly conveyed the order to the crossbowmen. A few seconds later, each chariot had three crossbow guns, a total of three hundred guns, and a total of three hundred guns rose into the air and pierced the Taiyuan Prefecture Army's position, which was no less than two hundred.

Driven by huge kinetic energy, the gun rubs violently with the air, and a sharp whistling sound sounded instantly. These sounds were not only once. The modified crossbow continued to fire at a frequency every fifteen seconds, and the sound of the gun breaking through the air was continuous.

"What kind of monster is this?!" This sentence is Fan Xitong's last words left in the world. He was very lucky to be shot by the first wave of scatters. Two guns passed through his chest and abdomen, nailing him to the spot, and accidentally created a live-action statue.

The first appearance of the chariot was both successful and failed. Ten thousand elite soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture were chased by 100 chariots for 30 miles. More than 6,000 people knelt on the ground and surrendered, more than 1,000 people died in battle, and less than 300 people returned to Taiyuan City. The missing part was temporarily missing. In terms of battle results, this was a great and brilliant ambush. From the battle scenes, the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture were frightened by the chariots. Except for the more than 100 people shot by the slapped gun at the beginning, everyone else was scared away. From this perspective, the chariots were very failed. Therefore, after counting the results, Zhou Erhongguang found Yu Jiaao Camp Manager with a face full of congratulations. Yu Ying Guan had no expression and could be fully understood.

The three thousand elites led by Zhou Er fell into the fields where they were guarding, but no one complained, because the results of the chariot camp were so scary. In the eyes of these elites who had experienced battle formations, the elephant chariot was comparable to a divine beast.

"Master Guan, the soldiers of Taiyuan Prefecture were stunned at that time. Many of them were shot by a gun but didn't respond. Then they turned around and ran away. Fortunately, the speed of the chariot was not slow, otherwise they would not be able to catch so many people." Zhou Er danced excitedly in the tent, describing the wonderful scene after the chariot appeared to Guan Chongguang. Yu Jiaao stood aside with a ugly face, as if Zhou Erkuo's chariot had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, the chariot battalion won the first victory in the first battle and returned to Lang San City to ask for merit from the lord of the palace." Guan Chongguang's heart finally fell back to his chest. This battle plan was formulated by him and he strongly recommended it to Zhou Shixiong. If the chariot could not become famous in one shot, Guan Chongguang's first battle would end in failure. This was something he could not accept.

"Master Guan, I think there are still many problems with the Chariot Battalion. This time the victory of the Chariot Battalion is very small, please consider it again." The generals in the tent were easily defeated by the reinforcements of Taiyuan Prefecture. Everyone in the tent smiled happily. Yu Jiaao came out to pour cold water at this time, which was a bit out of place.

"Yu Ying is in charge, and the chariot and battalion defeated the enemy, so I personally see you. You can't do it." Guan Chongguang probably understood Yu Jiaao's thoughts, but he couldn't rely on Yu Jiaao's temperament, so he asked again.

"The words of Lord Hui Guan are indeed true."

"The chariot camp chased the enemy for thirty miles and captured more than 6,000 enemy troops. There are prisoners of war as evidence. I can't make a false statement, right?" Guan Chongguang said so clearly. Yu Jiaao was not a fool. He could only bow and salute, "I understand. Please forgive me for talking nonsense."
