In a blink of an eye, there were more than one hundred mules and horses out of the fortress … Every mule and horse was hunched with three bags of food and didn’t stop at all …
Half an hour passed quickly, but the cavalry still didn’t stop at all …
At this moment, several soldiers of Tiger and Leopard Army holding binoculars each showed a stunned and shocked expression.
Because this half an hour out of the fortress mules and horses have more than one thousand horses to transport food is more than an astonishing three thousand bear … "
See here led the company commander’s face has been replaced by hot.
Continue to note the fortress and at the same time can’t help but exclaim, "The teachers are right. The court has been paying the Gansu-Ningxia New Army. Otherwise, no one in the two provinces of Gansu-Ningxia can consume so much food at one time …"
"Since the food is for this new army, we will follow them to find this new army base … yes, let’s do it …"
Chapter seven hundred and thirty-one Forced out to play
Another half hour passed and the cavalry kept coming out of the fortress and finally saw the end.
The company commander of the cavalry team, who delivered a full 6,000 loads of grain in front of him, did not hesitate to divide a platoon of cavalry scouts into two …
A squad of soldiers continued to observe every move of the fortress …
Two classes of soldiers are personally commanded by the company commander, who is closely following the imperial grain transportation team to find the Gansu-Ningxia new army compound and give it to the Gansu-Ningxia new army …
Maybe it’s because it’s very close to Sichuan, and the military strength of the tiger, leopard, army, Gansu and Ningxia provinces has not yet expanded here.
Protecting these mules, horses and grain along the way, a thousand imperial loyalists without the slightest vigilance directly broke into the headquarters of Ganning New Army with butch scouts dozens of miles away …
So when a little puss-head for more than a month, the Ganning New Army finally showed its figure to the Tiger and Leopard Army.
After listening to several reports from the company commander, the 10th division headquarters of Tiger and Leopard Army was directly replaced by the hot face.
Then a face of excitement said, "Sure enough, this time I see where you can hide …"
"The chief of staff, Ma Pai, reported to the commander that we had found the headquarters of the Ganning New Army … All the speculations of the commander in the Ganning New Army were right. We can destroy them if the commander returns to Ningxia!"
With the help of ten thousand butch soldiers, it took only five days to join the ten divisions with two muskets left …
After understanding the whole battlefield situation, a bold idea of darts directly appeared in Sun Chengzong’s mind …
Several division heads watched Sun Chengzong without any reservation. "According to the investigation, the total strength of the Gansu-Ningxia New Army in this dense forest is 40,000, including 67,000 musketeers, 34,000 cavalry, and about 30,000 knives and shields. It can be said that it is strong and well-equipped …"
"And my fifth army has lost less than fifteen thousand people after Lien Chan’s total strength … including a cavalry division, three muskets and a heavy artillery regiment … We are not dominant only in terms of strength …"
See everyone’s face with approval, opposition and anger … all kinds of expressions.
Sun Chengzong (turn) continued, "Of course, some people may say that our equipment is better than theirs, firearms are more advanced, and we also have a large number of artillery … But I want to tell you that it is … the firearms of the Ganning New Army are not badly equipped …"
"According to the investigation, all the firearms of the Ganning New Army are equipped with muskets … Because these muskets were seized from us, there are about four thousand …"
"In addition to muskets, grenades and mortars, this new army is equipped with a lot of …"
On the surface, our equipment, especially heavy artillery, still occupies a great advantage, but what I want to say is that we are about to face this battle, which is fought in the mountains. Many equipment advantages cannot be brought into play, especially when heavy artillery is transported into the mountains, and there may not even be a chance to participate in the war.
Sun Chengzong’s words are like a pot of icy cold water directly dousing the heart of the Ministry, and Ran Ran rises hot and fiery.
Even the atmosphere in everyone’s room was suddenly quiet with this pot of cold water.
At this time, just lost a musket regiment, eager to retaliate, and the tenth division teacher spoke.
To Sun Chengzong a face of unwilling asks "captains don’t we play …"
"Of course …" Sun Chengzong answered without thinking …
"He gan ning new army killed so many of our brothers. If we don’t fight after finding him, how can we live up to those brothers who died in the battlefield … We will not only fight but also destroy them in this battle …"
Sun Chengzong’s answer made everyone’s eyes dim and hot again
In the seven pairs of eyes, Sun Chengzong waits for Sun Chengzong …
Without keeping everyone waiting too long, Sun Chengzong began to answer, "Compared with the Gansu-Ningxia New Army, we have an advantage in equipment. Although there is no way to play a big role in the battlefield, we have one thing that the Gansu-Ningxia New Army does not have, and that is, adequate wages should be …"
"Let’s think about it. If we cut off the expenses of the new army in this area, we should … prepare the troops and expenses of the new army in this area …"
"When the limited salary is exhausted and not replenished, they will go out of the mountain whether they like it or not, otherwise they will starve to death in this mountain forest …"
"If we want them to leave this dense forest, our firearms advantage will be completely exerted …"
"I butch army has fought many times since its formation … in the field battlefield, no matter how much strength advantage I have in front of the powerful firepower of butch army, it will be shattered by our firepower …"
Several departments opened their mouths with a bright eye and asked, "Commander, you command us, and we will fight how you want us to fight … We must destroy these new armies of Gan Ning and make them pay the price …"
Five miles away from Qingchuan County, Sichuan Province, in a dense forest, 2,000 tiger and leopard arms gunmen lurk quietly on both sides of the road like hunters, waiting for the loyalist grain caravan to arrive.
At this moment, it has been hovering day by day since they lurked here. In front of everyone, the official road does not say that the cavalry has not even seen a single person.
As time went by, when two thousand butch and leopard arms gunmen ambushed here slowly began to stir up.
The gates of Qingchuan County, two miles away from the battlefield, were closed and finally opened …
Then hundreds of imperial loyalists poured out of the city gate and looked around with weapons in their hands …
After confirming that there was no danger around the city gate, a mule and horse with three loads of grain walked out of the city gate directly … Then a steady stream of mules and horses began to walk along the official road to the position of two thousand butch and leopard troops …
"To command the brothers to prepare for the battle … all muskets can fight against the imperial loyalist, so don’t hurt those mules and horses … so much food can’t be transported back without mules and horses …" The head of the monocle telescope ordered with a full face of hot determination …
After that, he couldn’t help itching. He actually picked up a musket and aimed at the road to get ready to shoot …
Of course, with two thousand mules and horses, it is not clear that a big net full of pitfalls has covered their department and may close the net at any time to kill them … "
Chapter seven hundred and thirty-two Not what it used to be
"Bang …" A dull gun sounded on the battlefield, and the leader of the musket regiment took the dark muzzle firmly and aimed at a loyalist officer riding a war horse dozens of steps away to pull the trigger.
For the firing musket, the range of dozens of steps is still very accurate.
When the first shot on the battlefield rings and the commander stares at the officer, he should fall off his horse and become a corpse …
A quiet battlefield, guns are orders.
The head of the regiment fired a lead bullet and instantly persuaded two thousand soldiers not to hesitate to pull the trigger on their target …
Suddenly a dull and dense gun sounded like firecrackers on the battlefield.
The white smoke produced by musket shooting blocked everyone’s field of vision for the first time
However, the constant screams of the official road have clearly told everyone that the official road of the imperial court must suffer heavy losses.
After all, there are more than one thousand musketeers shooting at the same time.
And the official road escorted this cavalry, and there were 1000 people at the very most …
After shooting the first round of lead shot, more than 1000 musketeers directly gave up and continued to reload the musketeers.
Instead, the bayonet was pulled out from the waist and firmly inserted into the barrel, and then it was like a leopard rushing out of its hiding place to attack the government officials who had been in chaos …
One thousand lead bullets killed more than 500 loyalists in just a moment at a distance of fifty paces.
There are less than 500 people who can continue to fight with the tiger and leopard army when the 1000 musketeers are standing with their bayonets and musketeers screaming at the road.
More importantly, there are less than 500 loyalists left, and many of them were stunned by the sudden blow, and they didn’t respond for a long time.
A face of stunned looking at butch army bayonet inserted into his chest without any response.
The one thousand musketeers rushed to the official road in an instant, and more than two hundred loyalists directly fell into the first round of the Tiger and Leopard Army.
To less than five hundred loyalist suddenly lost more than two hundred people …
There are more than 200 loyalist remnants left. No matter how severe they are, they can’t be more than 1,000 musketeers …
Soon the road fight will be over.
There are more than 200 loyalists left, but less than 100 people were killed, and more than 100 people were threatened with death. Without hesitation, they directly raised their hands and surrendered and became prisoners of the Tiger and Leopard Army …
Looking at the road where the prisoners have been made, the loyalist crouched down and trembled. Seeing the bags of mules and horses in the north, it was hard to eat rice. The tight face of the colonel finally revealed a heartfelt smile.
