Valley Emperor
Vol 2 Chapter 323: success or failure
Following Hao Bainian's order, Tang Jun's soldiers also boarded the ship for six consecutive times!
At dawn, such a large-scale river crossing operation is naturally impossible to hide from the Ming army on the other side of the river. In fact, when the Tang army and the others first arrived at the river, they were already spotted by the Ming army on the other side of the river.
When the Ming army deputy Qianhu, who was in charge of defending this place, saw this scene, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
These pseudo-Tang thieves did not appear last night, nor did they appear when it was just dawn, but only when there was a fight over the Lanjiang Ferry.
what does that mean?
This means that these pseudo-Tang thieves are definitely not simple. It is very likely that they are the main force of the pseudo-Tang thieves, hiding until now and starting to raid the river.
Even if the more than 1,000 pseudo-Tang thieves on the opposite side are not their elite main force, but just ordinary troops, it is a force that cannot be underestimated. At least the four or five hundred people under his command are absolutely impossible to stop these pseudo-Tang. Bandit army.
As for whether those pseudo-Tang thieves are also with the No. 2 ferry, their combat power is sparse, and they are just ordinary young people. These thousand households are not stupid enough to guess.
If they were just ordinary young men with weak combat power, they would not have crossed the river at this time, because that would be of no use at all.
So after guessing, he came up with an answer. These pseudo-Tang thieves must be genuine soldiers, and it is very likely that they are the main force in the pseudo-Tang thief army, that is, during the last Lanjiang battle. , to defeat the main force that recruited more than 2,000 troops.
When he thought of this, his face was a little pale, and this time I'm afraid it's over.
No, you must ask for reinforcements immediately. As long as you drag yourself to the point where reinforcements are resisted, then things can still be recovered.
It's just, can he rely on the current army of more than 400 or 500 guards and young soldiers to block this pseudo-Tang thief army?
He didn't want to think about it, because the result was something he didn't want to face.
Soon, he sent his personal soldiers to report Song Zhiwen quickly, and asked Lord Song Zhiwen to send reinforcements.
When he sent his own soldiers to ask for reinforcements, the puppet thieves from the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the river also began to cross the river. Looking at the dense number of pirate troops from the Tang Dynasty on the other side of the river, he forcibly suppressed the unease and fear in his heart and shouted loudly. Drinking: "Array, prepare to meet the enemy!"
But like himself, the soldiers of the Ming army were all panicked. This pair of Qianhu could think that the fake Tang thief army in front of them was the main force. They could not beat them. Even if these soldiers had little knowledge, they were not Silly.
The pseudo-Tang thieves on the opposite side can see that they are the main elites, and the most important thing is that there are four times as many as them.
The main combat force led by Hao Bainian had a total of 1,400 people. In addition, there were about 400 young men who were recruited to carry rafts and transport baggage.
The total number has reached more than 1,900, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 2,000.
In the face of four times the enemy, even ordinary Ming soldiers knew that this battle was going to be dangerous, and they would most likely lose their lives on the beach.
As a result, these Ming army soldiers who were urged to line up almost all had expressions of nervousness, anxiety or fear on their faces.
The two sides have not officially engaged in battle yet. The Ming army has gone up to the generals of the unified army and down to the ordinary soldiers, but their morale is completely gone.
However, Hao Bainian, who was on the bow, naturally didn't know the specific state of the Ming army on the other side of the river. He only saw that the Ming army on the other side of the river had already started to fight. Prepared for war.
As long as they can rush to the beach and defeat the Ming army, even if the scale of victory will be completely tilted to the Tang Dynasty.
As long as they go ashore, it will not be easy for the Ming army to stop his main force. Even if there are two or three thousand people, he is confident in defeating them in the field.
As long as they go ashore, then this strategic decisive battle aimed at annihilating the thousands of remnants of the Ming army and conquering Xingquan Prefecture, which is related to the foundation of the Tang Dynasty and the honor of the new army of the Tang Dynasty, has won more than half of it.
He Hao Bainian knew very well that in order to allow the main force he led to cross the river smoothly, the entire new army of the Tang Dynasty was working hard for this purpose. The Ming army even launched the river crossing operation, which was almost certain to be defeated. According to the news that reached his side, dozens of soldiers and more than 200 young men were injured or killed at the No. 2 ferry.
In addition, the Lanjiang Ferry has also launched a storm in advance. What does it mean to launch a storm in advance, it means more casualties.
These are the prices that many friendly troops have paid to ensure that his main force can successfully cross the river!
After paying so much, how could he, Hao Bainian, disappoint His Majesty and thousands of friendly troops?
No, absolutely not!
Standing on the bow of the boat, seeing that the troops crossing the river had crossed the heart of the river and would be able to reach the other side of the river in a short time, he ordered again: "Officers at all levels must use the spirit of loyalty to the monarch and serve the country, and defeat the enemy in front of you!"
"After boarding 6, you can only advance and not retreat. The supervising team listens to orders, and there is no order from this official. Anyone who retreats without authorization will be executed on the spot!"
If this battle is unsuccessful, he will become a benevolent, not only him, but all the soldiers in the army!
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Hao Bainian also specially brought a team of supervisors. This team of supervisors can be regarded as the first professional team of supervisors in the new army of the Tang Dynasty. It was formed by Li Xuan himself.
There are not many people, only half a team with more than 50 people, but they are the most ruthless people selected from the entire army.
Naturally, this supervising team cannot be used to fight, but it is naturally the most appropriate to use it to enforce military law, because they will not be lenient in killing their own people.
The supervising team played for the first time in the second Lanjiang battle a few days ago, and executed more than ten people on the spot at the Lanjiang ferry, including a second lieutenant platoon leader.
And today, it will be their second time participating in actual combat!
After hearing Hao Bainian's order, Zhou Shanbao, the captain of the supervising team, who was from Li Xuan's personal guard, immediately stepped out, holding the commander's knife engraved with the dragon pattern that Li Xuan personally gave him, and said expressionlessly, "Follow the order!"
Looking at the expressionless Zhou Shanbao and the golden dragon-marked command knife in his hand, a group of officers felt a little cold.
This Zhou Shanbao is not a good person. In the second Lanjiang battle, he personally used this imperial golden dragon pattern command knife to kill the second lieutenant who had retreated without authorization.
For such a ruthless man, a group of officers instinctively rejected him, but Zhou Shanbao obviously didn't care about the eyes of these people.
The boats crossing the river are getting closer and closer to the river!
The Tang army soldiers on the boats and rafts were all ready, waiting for the boats to land on the shore and immediately board 6 to rush up.
As for the musketeers and archers, they were already ready, and when they were almost close to the shore, they continued to fire with the orders of the officers at all levels.
The Ming army on the shore would not sit still, and soon returned fire with bows and arrows.
After the ship under Hao Bainian's feet had completely docked, without Hao Bainian's order, the officers at all levels were already shouting loudly: "Quick, get off the boat and rush up!"
When the Tang army's boats and rafts landed on the river, countless Tang army soldiers jumped down and rushed towards the Ming army defense line in front of the river cement slurry!
For a time, this narrow river beach with only a few hundred meters suddenly turned into a Shura field, and the smell of gunpowder mixed with blood filled the surrounding space.
Shouts and screams and gunshots resounded throughout the river!
Hao Bainian stood at the bow of the boat, motionless as he watched the soldiers in front of him charge!
The first to rush up was the elite 1st Infantry Battalion of the entire army. They did not list a complete and neat formation as they did in the previous frontal field battles, because time did not allow them to do so.
The 6th stage was too chaotic. Many ships that were scheduled to arrive together did not arrive at the same time. Because the ships were relatively small and the troops were scattered, a team of soldiers often needed five or six ships to transport across the river. Therefore, the team officers of each team It is almost impossible for them to gather all their subordinates in a short period of time.
The only thing that can maintain a relatively complete organization is the platoon-level organization, because when crossing the river, it is often a platoon collectively riding a large raft or boat.
These platoons with only more than a dozen people can maintain a complete organization and formation after reaching 6~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and then gather in a row.
In a desperate situation, it doesn't matter whether you are in the first team or the second team, take it directly, and then line up to charge.
Before crossing the river, the staff around Hao Bainian thought about the time to climb the 6th, because the time was tight and the scene was chaotic, it was difficult to maintain the integrity of the establishment and attack. Form an attack immediately.
At the same time, taking into account that the Ming army will be intercepted by dense bows and arrows when ascending the 6th, which will cause casualties to the officers.
This is to avoid officer casualties, or the situation where there is no mid-level and low-level commander leading the soldiers after the troops are in chaos.
When the soldiers rushed to the river beach, Zhou Shanbao also led the supervising team to the river beach, but he did not rush up with the supervising team, but watched the soldiers in front fight from behind.
Although in the eyes of outsiders he is an executioner who kills without blinking an eye, but in his heart he does not want to point the gun at his own people, and this time all the elites in the new army of Datang participated in the war, especially the first wave of the 6th. The first-step infantry battalion is the earliest infantry battalion in the army. The quality of the soldiers is the strongest in the entire Datang New Army.
Therefore, he was not worried that the 1st Infantry Battalion would retreat without authorization.
In his sight, the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion were scattered at first, but as the mid-level officers such as the corps officers and deputy officers stepped forward, they gathered nearby platoons and even the disrupted skirmishers. Those who lined up and started to attack, some soldiers in the front row even rushed up and started to fight the Ming army hand-to-hand.
This battle across the river was the most tragic battle at the very beginning! ()
