Breaking the Car Formation
Thanks to Zhang Zongxian's constant request for them to make plans, all aspects were prepared. When the young men arrived at the county seat, they first went to the school grounds to report, and then were led by the squad leader of the new army, who was familiar with them, to collect weapons and equipment. Then they were pulled up to the city wall as a squad unit.
defense.
As more and more young adults in training reported, there were more than 300 squads on the city wall. Most of them were equipped with lances. Only the squad leader was equipped with a firecracker.
After the good minister determined the number of troops, he immediately announced that all new troops would be upgraded to one rank and expanded into a brigade on the spot.
All city wall defenses were handed over to the government officials and the people. All new army teams immediately arrived at the school grounds for reorganization.
Under the leadership of the squad leader, the reorganization was completed within an hour. After leaving five running groups at the east gate, the regiments were used as units to quickly leave the city from the north and south gates and surround the enemy troops outside the east gate from three sides.
The good minister also borrowed a cavalry from Hu Biao, gathered together the prairie men recruited by Hu Biao, and took them out of the city.
When Qian Dianshi saw the good ministers gathering troops to leave the city, he came to stop them.
"O good minister! You can rely on the city wall to hold on, why go out and fight the bandit army. The bandit army is so numerous, what will you do if you lose?"
The good minister did not quarrel with him and just said that most of the bandits had already gone to besiege Changsheng Fort. He had to defeat the bandits under the city to rescue his master. After saying that, he led his troops out of the city quickly.
After Qian Dianshi heard that most of the bandits were besieging Changsheng Fort, he also began to worry about Zhang Zongxian. He thought that if Zhang Zongxian died, no one would help him get promoted.
Suddenly Qian Dianshi realized that if Zhang Zongxian died, wouldn't all his property belong to him?
After this idea came up, Qian Dianshi couldn't help but think about it. Hu Biao in the horse market is a gangster and easy to deal with, but the shares were given too much. Just give him three melons and two dates as a steward. If he didn't
If you know who he is, he will be killed in the name of a bandit.
It's a pity that the winery and woolen mill are both in Changsheng Fort, so the bandits will definitely not let them go.
However, the Taiping grain store and the main bank account are still in the city, and the female doll Su'e is also in Changsheng Fort. If Zhang Zongxian is to die, these will all be his.
Qian Dianshi was almost blinded by greed. He thought about running to stop the good minister from rescuing Zhang Zongxian, but he also thought that the good minister didn't listen to him just now, let alone now.
I also have a grandson in Changsheng Fort. If the fort is destroyed, he will probably not be able to survive.
Thinking of his grandson Qian Dianshi, he sobered up a little and called his close servant. He asked him to ride a horse and follow the reinforcements of the good ministers. If Changsheng Fort was breached, he should come back and report to him as soon as possible.
In this way, Qian Dianshi had time to control the defensive forces in the city. The property left by Zhang Zongxian became his. As for the good minister, he died in the battle. He would not be allowed to enter the city until he died.
Those bandits came here to seek money. They had already captured Changsheng Fort and they probably didn't want to kill anyone anymore. If they gave them more money, they would be able to fight. With a plan in mind, Qian Dianshi began to secretly contact his former confidants.
As long as Changsheng Fort is breached, move quickly to control the county.
The troops quickly dispersed after leaving the city, led by each regiment, and soon began to surround the bandits at the predetermined position outside the east gate.
When the bandit army found out, three regiments were approaching them from three directions. The hundreds of households left behind did not know what to do, and they deliberately left the old, weak, sick and disabled to run away. But if they wanted to run away, they had to withstand the pressure from two directions.
The enemy's attack. If you run away easily, the team will disperse.
If he went to Changsheng Fort alone, the man named Wang might sacrifice his head to the flag.
During the hesitation, the three regiments had moved to a place 500 steps away from the bandit army's formation. Now the bandit army could not escape even if they wanted to.
After each regiment was in place, Liangchen ordered the artillery team to hide behind the queue and aim at the bandit army's thousand-man band near the city wall. As long as they defeated the remaining bandit army, they would not pose a threat.
The artillery team's ten tiger cannons were quickly loaded and fired upon the officer's order. The infantry in front of the artillery team quickly evacuated from the front of the artillery team under the leadership of the squad leader.
The hundreds of households who stayed behind shouted "avoid the artillery" after seeing the artillery team exposed. Before they could finish speaking, they jumped off the cart and hid under it.
Before the others could react, lead bullets from the Crouching Tiger Cannon were already hitting them like raindrops.
As long as you are hit by the lead of the Tiger Cannon, you will definitely not survive. Even if you scratch your arm, it will be torn off. Just one round of shelling defeated the thousand-man team, and all the remaining bandit troops were hiding in
Don't dare to show your head under the cart.
Seeing the effect of the artillery fire, the good minister was very satisfied and immediately ordered the entire army to attack. The artillery team continued to fire for two rounds and then stopped firing.
After the good minister ordered the whole army to attack, he saw the soldiers of the three regiments lined up in two horizontal lines. They were holding lances as spears, and the squad leader was holding a firecracker with a bayonet. They were marching to the beat of the waist drum.
They continued to advance towards the enemy camp with neat steps.
Many bandit soldiers could not stand the oppression and shelling of the military formation and wanted to escape before the three regiments encircled them. They were overtaken and hacked to death by the cavalry not far after running out of the vehicle formation.
The prairie men in the cavalry also picked up the severed heads of the bandits and held them on their swords, constantly circling the car formation. Sometimes they even threw the heads into the car formation. Now no one in the bandit army dared to run out of the car formation.
.
The good minister promised the cavalry team to give them five taels of silver if they killed a bandit, so the cavalry team was particularly active in pursuing the bandit army.
After the three regiments completely surrounded the vehicle formation on three sides, they did not directly attack the bandit troops inside the vehicle formation. First, they used lances to drive the enemy troops out of the cart, and then the squad leader holding a firecracker continued to attack the vehicle formation.
The bandits were shooting. As long as the bandits gathered together, there would be a volley of gunfire.
Since the founding of the army, Zhang Zongxian has constantly emphasized that we must give full play to our firepower advantage. If we can use firearms to solve the problem, we will never use human lives.
The artillery team from behind also rushed over quickly and once again aimed at the dispersed Thousand-Man Team. After five rounds of continuous bombardment, the firing was stopped due to the overheating of the gun barrel. This was done by using vinegar to cool down.
At this moment, no bandit army dared to resist in the military formation, and those who led hundreds of households who tried to organize a counterattack were killed by firecrackers.
There were only a dozen soldiers of the three regiments who were wounded by bows and arrows, and none of them were killed. On the contrary, the cavalry team lost more than ten people. During this period, the people from Biao Camp wanted to lead Master Ma to break out of the encirclement, but they were stopped by the cavalry team. All the people from Biao Camp were stopped by the cavalry team.
He was hacked to death by the cavalry.
Master Ma fainted from fright, and was captured by the cavalry team and exchanged with good ministers for reward money.
After the bandits were unable to organize resistance, they ordered the carts to be moved and began to enter the vehicle array to clean up the bandits.
It was still necessary to advance from three sides to drive the bandits who were still able to move under the city wall, and to hand over the injured bandits who could not move to the government officials later.
After disarming the bandits who were driven under the city wall, they were all taken to Beimen Wengcheng.
After adding all the trained young men who arrived during this period into three regiments, Liangchen already had an army of nearly 5,000 men.
