Valley Emperor

Compared with Fang Dongquan's indecision, another Huang Xueren, who is in a similar situation to him, is much wiser. Huang Xueren, the deputy brigade commander of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, has officially submitted a letter to Li Xuan a few days ago. He was old and could not bear the heavy responsibility of the deputy brigade commander of the Second Infantry Brigade.

This means that I hope Lin Xuan will find him a leisurely position in the Privy Council.

But the deeper meaning is, Your Majesty, I have retired from the main force very wisely and made way for the students of the Imperial Academy. Can you give me a high-ranking and decent position?

Li Xuan is very pleased with Huang Xueren's knowledge. At present, he has sent a decree to recall Huang Xueren, who led the army to fight in northern Guizhou. Although he came back to report his work in name, but if there is no accident, Li Xuan will arrange for him to A leisurely position in the Privy Council, he will also be promoted to major general of the army, and even rewarded with a title, giving him a decent and rich arrangement.

As long as Huang Xueren and Fang Dongquan are willing to voluntarily give up their military power, Li Xuan is still very willing to treat these two veterans who are very early and have made great contributions in the early Tang Dynasty!

However, Fang Dongquan still doesn't know about Huang Xueren's arrangement, but even if he does, he will not give up military power like Huang Xueren.

Compared with these two people, Wang Danxu, who is also a veteran, is much better. He leads the troops honestly and has been quite low-key recently, but he has firmly established himself as the commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment. The 4th Infantry Regiment under Tong's command was fighting in the central part of Guizhou, and now it has almost reached the provincial capital of Guiyang.

And Li Xuan is also satisfied with Wang Danxu's recent performance, and plans to continue to observe Wang Danxu. In the short term, Wang Danxu should not expect to be promoted to the brigade commander of the main infantry brigade, but if Wang Danxu's state continues to be maintained, a main force in the future The brigade commander of an infantry brigade cannot run.

In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone's choices were different, and their futures in the future were naturally different.

However, whether these veterans can keep up with the expansion of the Tang Dynasty, in fact, can no longer affect the development of the Tang Dynasty.

The younger generation of officers led and trained by Li Xuan has now become the core officer group of the Datang Army. The younger generation of generals represented by Hao Bainian, Fang Xitong, and Li Chunjing have actually replaced the early Fang Dongquan, Huang Xueren, and Wang Danxu. effect.

The middle- and lower-level officers are all students of the Wuxuetang and Yuxuetang, especially the students of Yuxuetang. They almost control most of the important positions of the main force, whether this is for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Datang Army, or It is extremely important for Li Xuan to control the military.

Today, these officers are in front of the Ming army camp, continuing to form the team, so that the troops are always in the peak state, so that they can attack at any time!

When will they attack? Naturally, the Ming army on the opposite side could not bear the bombardment of the Datang Army and made changes.

At that time, whether these Ming troops are defeated, retreat, or take the initiative to attack, it will be the moment for these Datang Army infantry units to launch their final general attack!

Now, all they have to do is wait!

The dense formation of neat infantry squares outside the Ming army camp put the Ming army in the camp under great pressure.

And this pressure, in turn, will cause them to suffer great casualties!

Why, because the pseudo-Tang bandit army is just outside the camp, and the fortifications such as the wall of the Ming army camp have been damaged in many places after the intensive shelling, and some places have been razed to the ground. flat.

In this case, it means that the opposite pseudo-Tang thief army may rush in at any time!

In order to prevent the rushing in of the pseudo-Tang thieves, these Ming troops also had to list a tight phalanx ready to fight at any time!

However, the Ming army continued to maintain a dense phalanx of infantry, which provided Chen Tufu's second artillery battalion with the best artillery target.

When he saw that many of the walls of the Ming army camp had been damaged, and the many artillery positions of the Ming army that were scheduled to be attacked were also hit hard by his own side, at this time, Butcher Chen began to order the artillery units to start moving their targets!

The artillery shells began to cross the wall, and then shelled in the depth direction of the camp, that is, the dense infantry phalanx of the Ming army!

At a distance of more than 300 meters, but less than 400 meters, the eleven heavy artillery pieces of the Second Artillery Battalion of the Datang Army dare not say where to shoot, but they can still roughly hit the target.

Especially when the target is still a very obvious dense infantry phalanx!

When the Second Artillery Battalion began to shell the Ming infantry phalanx, the casualties of the Ming army instantly increased.

One after another solid ball shells swept across the sky, then fell into the Ming army array, and then plowed out **** canals!

The screams continued to sound one after another!

The ordinary soldiers of the Ming army were screaming, and the middle and low-level officers of the Ming army were also panicking, looking around from time to time, they tried to get orders from the upper peak, whether they launched an active attack or retreated, they were better than now. If you don't get beaten, your hand is much stronger. If you continue like this, morale will drop rapidly, and then the collapse of the troops will be inevitable.

And the senior generals of the Ming army, who are regarded as the pillars by the middle and low-level officers, are also in trouble now, and they simply don't know what choice to make!

"Pseudo-Tang thieves' weapons are sharp, and they really live up to their reputation. No wonder even Zhu Zhihai was defeated by Liping!"

"Yeah, their artillery hits too far. The two sides are more than 200 steps apart and they can give us such a large amount of damage. Look at their heavy artillery, I'm afraid it weighs thousands of pounds!"

"This kind of artillery is even more powerful than the Folang cannon I've seen at the navy's side before!"

"The thieves' weapons are sharp. It's not good to continue like this. If you don't fight back, you will be finished sooner or later!"

"What should we do now? Why don't we just rush out and fight with them! Our main force is not damaged now, and rushing out to fight now may not have a chance of winning!"

"Go out and fight with them? Are you kidding me? Have you forgotten how the 3,000 soldiers in Rong County were wiped out, and how our 5,000 soldiers were defeated two days ago?"

"Yes, we must not rush out, and now we are courting death if we rush out!"

"But what if we don't rush out? Is it possible to stand here and be beaten all the time?"

"Let me see, it's not feasible for a large group to rush out, but it is possible to let the archers take a hundred steps forward and shoot arrows at their infantry phalanx. In this case, the enemy's infantry phalanx will also suffer heavy casualties?"

"Rush out and shoot arrows, how far? If it's far, the muskets of the pseudo-Tang thieves can shoot farther than our bows and arrows, and don't you see that their bowl guns are placed a hundred paces away, just Waiting for our archers to rush up, and there are also many archers in the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army. If you shoot at them from a distance, our archers will definitely suffer heavy casualties!

If they rush close, of course they can kill the thieves, but how will their phalanx of spearmen rush up, and these archers will not be slaughtered by then! "

"Then we will send melee soldiers to cover the archers!"

"Nonsense, in this case, wouldn't it be the whole army's counterattack? Are you sure we can take advantage of the whole army's hand-to-hand combat?"

"This won't work, that won't work, so what should I do? You can't keep dragging it all the time!"

These senior generals of the Ming army gave me a look, but no one could come up with a way to improve the current crisis.

Wei Yan at the top looked at the group of generals under his command who were obviously at a loss, and even the generals who were scared to death. He was angry and helpless at the same time.

He can also see what his generals have seen. At the same time, although he is not proficient in military affairs, he can also know from the discussions of his generals that the current situation is very, very bad for him~www.wuxiaspot .com~ And the most important thing is that there is no way to fight back against the attack of the pseudo-Tang bandit army!

No, there is a way to fight back, and that is to rush out to fight to the death, but looking at the attitude of these generals, if I force them to rush out, I am afraid that the whole army will be disintegrated before rushing out.

They were already frightened by the field ability of the pseudo-Tang thief army, and now they don't even have the courage to fight to the death!

Could it be that the pseudo-Tang thieves on the opposite side are really so powerful? Is it really as invincible as the people from Guizhou say?

Wei Yan once again looked at the pseudo-Tang bandit army outside!

In the line of sight, the infantry formation in the front row of the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army is still very close, and the melee bandits in the front row are almost all wearing heavy armor. No less than eight hundred!

Don't think that for the nearly 10,000 people of the pseudo-Tang thief army, there are only 800 hand-to-hand combat soldiers in heavy armor. In fact, this is already a lot.

This can be seen by comparing the troops under Weiyan himself. The 8,000 people under Weiyan’s command are basically officers and some of the personal soldiers of senior generals in heavy armor. Even if they are all counted, at most Just two or three hundred people.

Moreover, there is a cavalry of more than 200 people on the side of the Pseudo-Tang Bandit Army, eyeing them!

However, the eight thousand Ming army under Wei Yan had no professional cavalry, at most there were dozens of generals riding horses!

Not to mention whether our own infantry can beat the infantry of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, in case the infantry and the infantry of the pseudo-Tang bandit army engage in hand-to-hand combat, the two hundred or so cavalry of the pseudo-Tang bandit army will circle to the side and rush back. Go up, this will be the end!

This battle is not easy to fight! ()
