Chapter 498 One-on-one duel!(1/2)
Sunjiagou, outskirts.
A messenger quickly climbed into the Yan army's formation, knelt on one knee and reported to Zhao Yong, who was observing the fighting in the village attentively:
"Sir, the Fengwu army in the village has been defeated, and our army is pursuing..."
After hearing what his men said, Zhao Yong frowned slightly and then asked the master Xu Zhe beside him:
"How's the situation around?"
Xu Zhe said without thinking:
"Yixiang reported before that there are no traces of Fengwu troops around our army. According to your order, hundreds of scouts have been dispatched within ten miles of the surrounding area. As soon as the enemy appears, they will report the situation immediately!
"
Zhao Yong's frown relaxed slightly after hearing this. After thinking about it for a while, he made a decision and ordered:
"Continue to pursue the Fengwu Army in the village, but the enemy is cunning, so be careful not to fall into their trap!"
"yes!"
After giving the order to fight, Zhao Yong turned his attention to Sunjiagou again. After realizing that Sunjiagou was a trap set for him by the Fengwu Army, his subconscious reaction was to run away as far as he could.
To escape the pursuit of Fengwu army,
However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized that he no longer had the capital to escape. He chose to escape and was followed and killed by the Fengwu Army cavalry. There was no doubt that he would die a worse death, so he might as well take advantage of the fact that he still had a chance to escape.
With the strength to fight, even if you fight against the Fengwu Army, even death is far better than being chased and killed on the road...
Although he was determined to fight to the death, as the old saying goes, it is better to die than to live. No one would want to die if he could live. Therefore, Zhao Yong carefully planned the desperate situation in front of him, although he did not know that Sun Yat-sen was ambushing him.
How many people are there in the Fengwu Army in Jiagou?
However, Zhao Yong estimates that the opponent's troops will not be too many. The first reason is that the Fengwu Army is mainly infantry, and the large infantry marching speed is too slow to catch up. Secondly, if the enemy army is the main force coming, at this time he realizes that
After the ambush plan goes bankrupt, it is time to take the initiative to arrange an encirclement.
And now the opponent is still holding on to Sunjiagou, which means that there are not many people and horses. There should be only a few thousand cavalry of the Fengwu Army who were chasing at the beginning. After realizing this, Zhao Yong, who was originally a little desperate, felt a lot of confidence in his heart.
Although his troops are still at a disadvantage and his food and supplies are almost exhausted, the soldiers in his hands are the most elite Youyan cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he still has the capital to make a comeback and fight back.
After careful planning, Zhao Yong began to prepare for the war. He didn't care about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. He just took out all the food left in his hand and gave it to his brothers to have a full meal. Then he followed suit.
He broke the cauldron, smashed the pot in the army, made the current dangerous situation public, and told the brothers that as long as Sunjiagou was captured, everyone would have a way to survive. If Sunjiagou was not captured, everyone would die here...
···············
I have to say that Zhao Yong's move was indeed very effective. After his operation, the Youyan Cavalry, which was originally low in morale, immediately became full of fighting spirit and roared again, driven by the desire to survive, gearing up to fight the Fengwu Army.
Fight to the death!
After boosting morale, Zhao Yong divided the three thousand troops in his hand into three thousand-man teams. The two thousand-man teams attacked from the east and west sides respectively, while the remaining one thousand-man team was used as a reserve team in case of emergencies.
.
Seeing that the soldiers attacking Sunjiagou had basically all entered Sunjiagou, Zhao Yong had a somewhat ominous premonition in his heart and immediately turned to the master Xu Zhe beside him and ordered:
"Give me the order to expand the scope of the surrounding scouts to fifteen miles... No! Twenty miles!"
Listening to Zhao Yong's words, Xu Zhe said subconsciously:
"Sir, are you worried that not all the soldiers and horses of the Fengwu Army are concentrated in Sunjiagou? They still have ambushes outside?"
Seeing that Xu Zhe understood what he meant, Zhao Yong nodded solemnly and said:
"Well, it's too fast! The attack is too fast! The Fengwu Army has always been cunning and cunning, so we have to guard against it!"
"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away!"
Xu Zhe took the order and left.
·······················
·······················
Just when Zhao Yong was worrying about gains and losses outside Sunjiagou, Cui Desheng was urging Guo Zhiping in Sunjiagou:
"Sir, let's take action now! I don't know what Zhao Yong said to these defeated soldiers. Now these people are not afraid of death. If we don't take action now, it will be very serious if we let them break through the direction of our army.
It’s dangerous!”
Listening to Sun Desheng's words, Guo Zhiping was no longer as calm as he was at the beginning. He narrowed his eyes slightly and thought quickly. This Zhao Yong is really not an ordinary person. Now he is still calm and calm, without attacking all the soldiers and horses in his hands.
Entering Sunjiagou, I was really patient.
After pondering for a while, Guo Zhiping opened his mouth and ordered:
"Send the order, and the people on the east side of the village will retreat to the big locust tree..."
Before Guo Zhiping finished speaking, the anxious Cui Desheng wanted to retreat when he heard this. For a moment, he forgot the rules and interrupted Guo Zhiping's words and asked anxiously:
"Sir, are you still going back?"
The words were interrupted by Cui Desheng. Guo Zhiping did not get angry, but looked at Cui Desheng with calm eyes. Under Guo Zhiping's gaze, Cui Desheng also realized his gaffe, obediently closed his mouth and lowered his head.
He bowed to Guo Zhiping and apologized.
Because he also knew that Cui Desheng was driven by impatience and did not intend to challenge him rudely, Guo Zhiping did not pursue further and continued to issue the order:
"If Zhao Yong still doesn't come in, then launch a counterattack. Remember, even if you launch a counterattack, you are not allowed to put all your troops into it. You have to counterattack bit by bit and eat away at it step by step. I don't believe Zhao Yong can still hold on!
Also tell the soldiers and horses outside not to be anxious and wait for my signal!"
"yes!"
Following Guo Zhiping's order and the Yan Army's continued offensive, the Fengwu Army gave up its position and withdrew toward the large locust tree that marked the center of the village. Soon, Zhao Yong, who was still outside Sunjiagou, also got
Got this news.
After hearing the news, Zhao Yong couldn't help but feel a little moved. He hesitated whether to throw all the troops and horses in his hands into Sunjiagou. In the first battle, he drove the Fengwu army out of Sunjiagou and got the food and grass in Sunjiagou.
supply··············
Just when Zhao Yong was hesitant, the new messenger ran over again, panting and reporting:
"Sir, the Fengwu Army began to counterattack, and our army was forced to retreat one mile!"
After hearing the news, without waiting for Zhao Yong's reaction, his master Xu Zhe began to persuade:
"Sir, after one vigorous effort, we are exhausted again and again. Our army was already at the end of its strength, and the fight up to now was all based on bloody courage. If we are defeated now, everything will be over! Even if the Fengwu Army really has some troops outside.
Ambush, as long as we attack Sunjiagou, there is still hope!"
Seeing that his most trusted master said this, Zhao Yong also put his heart into it and nodded and said:
"In my opinion, sir, I will give it my best!"
After speaking, Zhao Yong drew his sword and shouted loudly at the thousand reserve troops beside him:
"Brothers, come on after me! Rush into Sunjiagou and drink and eat meat!"
"Kill!"
After Zhao Yong entered Sunjiagou for a cup of tea, Cui Desheng rushed into Guo Zhiping's headquarters. Before he could speak, Guo Zhiping was the first to ask:
"He came in?"
Cui Desheng nodded and said:
"Zhao Yong personally led the team, and all the Yan troops have entered the village!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Zhiping's eyes immediately showed an undisguised murderous intent, and he immediately ordered:
"Send a signal to the brothers outside! Counterattack on all fronts! Counterattack on all fronts!"
"yes!"
Cui Desheng, who had been prepared for a long time, was shocked after receiving Guo Zhiping's order, and immediately conveyed the order...
After a cup of tea, Zhao Yong, who was personally sitting on the front line supervising the battle in Sunjiagou, suddenly heard a crackling sound in the air. He instinctively looked up and saw an orange-red firework jumping into the sky and blooming in the sky.
There were brilliant flowers.
Watching the fireworks appear, Zhao Yong subconsciously sighed:
"What a beauty!"
After sighing, Zhao Yong seemed to have realized something. His face was startled and turned ugly. Just when he was about to say something, he heard a deafening sound of cannons around him. Countless Yan army soldiers did not wait for a response.
When they came over, they were knocked to the ground, and the shells dropped a huge shock wave, which smashed the Yan army's formation into pieces.
Guo Zhiping, who was holding a telescope on a hidden observation deck not far away, saw this scene with a satisfied smile on his face. The red cannon is the unique weapon of the Fengwu Army, although it is powerful and full of lethality.
But it has a fatal weakness, that is, due to technical limitations, the red cannon is large and heavy, making it very troublesome to transport. It is easier to transport on plain roads, but it will be very troublesome if it encounters mountain roads, and this has become
A major pain point for the Fengwu Army.
Under Ye Mingsheng's order, the Cancer Manufacturing Bureau actively collected suggestions from military generals, gathered a group of technical backbones, and worked overtime to overcome technical difficulties. Finally, before the Fengwu Army entered the border, the red cannon codenamed Shenwei was launched.
second model,
Compared with the original red cannon, the power of this divine cannon has been reduced. According to tests, it has been reduced by about 20%, but its volume and weight have been reduced.
Nearly half, which undoubtedly reduces a lot of manpower and material resources for transportation...
