Chapter 191 Confrontation and Counterattack
Entering from Shuiquan Pass to Yangzhuang is the direction from north to south. Wu Youfa's more than 2,000 guards are on both sides of Zhao Sheng. Once they find the Jin army from Changshan County, they will shoot at them.
"Sir, if we get this close, we'll be at a disadvantage if their army charges."
The four thousand men continued to move forward. They were still more than seven hundred steps away from the Jin army's position. Zhao Long felt that they could not advance any further.
Zhao Sheng thought for a moment, then looked ahead. Zhuangzi, who was on the left, could clearly see the cavalrymen. Judging by the heads that showed, there weren't many of them.
On the right side are a few dilapidated houses. There is no green in this season, and the infantrymen look particularly conspicuous inside.
"Stop moving forward." Zhao Sheng ordered at this time.
It is obvious that the 50,000 people in front are all here. If you go any further, it would be too disrespectful to these people. If they are forced into a corner, they will have no choice but to fight you to the death.
At this moment, the encirclement and killing of the Jin army is inevitable.
Four thousand people trying to charge forward was like hitting a rock with an egg.
It’s not that the enemy is so brave, but that there are too many of them.
"The rear team becomes the front team, retreat! The front team holds on for a while!"
Zhao Sheng's carriage was a special one, with iron plates embedded inside, and was equipped with several automatic rifles of different lengths.
There are two guards in front and behind, and they can shoot freely.
The Jin army also saw the approaching forces clearly. They originally thought they would charge forward, but unexpectedly, just as they were about to get close, they suddenly retreated...
"General, these thousands of King Yan's troops are leaving. What should we do?"
The cavalry on the left saw it through the wall from their horses and reported it to the Captain of a Thousand Cavalry.
"We only have 2,000 cavalry. Do not act rashly without orders."
The captain was still relatively calm. There was a commander-in-chief above the troops, and it was not something he, the captain, could decide.
Sure enough, some people around the governor could no longer hold back and proposed the idea of attacking.
"We will first dispatch 20,000 infantrymen on both sides, and then our cavalry will go around them from behind, cutting off their retreat. We will definitely force them to surrender!"
The Jin army is using money to avoid disaster this time. The governor is originally from the Wang family. He secretly led his troops to Weizhou under the pretext of changing guard. It would be best if nothing unexpected happened.
However, they were hired by the Lu family and had a prior agreement that there would be different rewards for conquering the city or capturing prisoners.
Driven by greed, people's hearts are fickle.
"Send the flag signal and order your subordinates to allocate 10,000 soldiers to attack!"
The governor was ultimately unable to escape the temptation of money. With only 4,000 men, he dispatched 20,000 men at once to encircle and suppress the enemy, with a total number of 50,000. Eating this group of people was as easy as a big fish eating a small fish.
It was already past noon, and the sunlight overhead was slightly shining on my forehead.
Hula la.
The infantry on both sides swarmed out, raising a cloud of dust, and rushed towards Zhao Sheng's team.
"My Lord, you go first, I will cover your retreat." Wu Youfa noticed that the infantrymen behind were catching up with him, and hurriedly shouted to Zhao Sheng's team.
"Go, tell Captain Wu to follow orders and make sure they are carried out strictly. Don't do good things with bad intentions."
On the battlefield, it was taboo for Wu Youfa to act on his emotions like this, so Zhao Sheng ordered a guard to go and pass on the message.
After a while, the guards came back.
"Sir, Captain Wu said he knows he was wrong and will resolutely follow your command."
Zhao Sheng pursed his lips, poked his head out of the car, and said to Zhao Long beside him: "Watch Gu Yizhou, and throw the grenade accurately when the time comes."
Zhao Long smiled but didn't say anything. He clasped his fists together, meaning that he understood!
Liang Dong had already climbed onto the carriage. He had been coveting Gatlin for a long time and wanted to have a good time today.
"Grab a guard and get on the train. I need someone in the carriage to load my bullets for me."
In previous situations like this, Liang Dong always protected the front of the car closely. Now with Gatlin, he, the son-in-law, is no longer as popular.
The two guards at the front of the car are now Zhao Yongzhu and Pei Xin, and the guards at the rear of the car are Ma Si and Zhuang Yan.
They were all recruited by Luancheng. Among them, Pei Xin was from Nanzhao Village, and there was no need to introduce Zhao Yongzhu, he was Zhao Xinnan's third son.
Zhao Erniu and Zhao Hu both wanted to come over to be personal bodyguards this time.
Zhao Long was the earliest guard and is now the commander-in-chief.
Zhao Yongsheng is now the director of the Luancheng Intelligence and Security Bureau.
Chen Da only worked as a guard for three months, but the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 2nd Division couldn't do without him.
Zhou Tong is now the county lieutenant of Luancheng, and Mao Wang has taken over the duties of the county lieutenant.
In short, everyone around Zhao Sheng has been promoted, and everyone wants to come, not just for promotion.
Zhao Erniu and Zhao Hu are not like that. They are really doing it for Zhao Sheng, their own family member.
This time, Li Shuya wanted Mao Wang to come with her, but now Luancheng is indispensable to Zhou Tong and Mao Wang, while the industrial zone is missing Zhao Yongqiang and others.
The Jin army was getting closer and closer, and the cavalry really surrounded their retreat route.
"Damn it, you asked for it."
Wu Youfa received the order and shot at the cavalrymen who were surrounding him from behind, aiming at the people on horseback.
Two thousand rifles were aimed at two thousand cavalry.
After a dozen breaths, most of the horses became the spoils of the 22nd Regiment.
"Sir, we captured the Jin army's cavalry, and ninety percent of them were killed by us."
Zhao Sheng felt a tightness in his heart when he received the report. He hated to see family members killing each other the most, but it happened inevitably.
"My Lord, the Jin army's infantry is only three hundred steps away."
The personal guards brought the news, but they did not panic.
"Pass the order down. Attack when they get close. Use red incendiary bombs as the order."
The flares developed by the new army were probably not well made. When fired at a crowd, they would emit red flames and cause large-scale burning.
"Yes, get closer before you attack, and use red incendiary bombs as your command!"
"Send the order, come closer before attacking, use red incendiary bombs as the order!"
The messengers rode on horses and passed on the orders one by one...
"Commander-in-Chief, our cavalry is gone..."
"What did you say? Our cavalry is gone? I didn't even see any fighting?"
As soon as the cavalryman who had escaped finished speaking, the commander-in-chief of the Jin army reached out with a cold face and grabbed the other's collar.
"Commander-in-Chief, they have a weapon that can cause fire and makes a loud noise. Our men fell off their horses after hearing the noise."
The governor was shocked again. Seeing the 20,000 people chasing him so madly, he did not believe what the cavalry said.
The front is getting closer and closer, and it will be only a hundred steps away.
Soldiers of the Jin army could already be seen preparing to draw their bows and arrows.
The opponent's formation also changed. They stopped retreating and began to spread their wings.
"Boom bang bang..."
Flames burst from both wings, and a cloud of blue smoke appeared above the team.
“Da da da…da da…da da da…”
On a carriage, a weapon was emitting sparks and shooting out a long fire snake, making continuous noises.
Wherever the fire snake pointed, groups of people fell down.
In another carriage, a strong man threw something at the crowd.
The Jin army blocked it with shields.
"Boom~boom~boom..."
Objects that fell into the crowd were stopped by shields and exploded immediately.
The weapons of the two guards battalions are different.
Zhao Sheng's personal guards have a lot of five-shot shotguns. They don't need to aim when shooting into a crowd, and they can make a hole in any nearby shield.
Zhao Yongsheng's personal guards were basically armed with rifles.
Watching Zhao Sheng’s personal guards shooting, there is only one word to describe it - awesome!
Twenty thousand infantrymen faced three thousand five hundred spears.
After several rounds of shooting, there were almost no Jin troops still standing on the battlefield.
As they ran back, they hated their parents for making their legs shorter.
After all, these were not northern barbarians. Zhao Sheng quickly asked them to stop shooting and not to be too murderous towards their comrades!
