In the first year of Zhaowu in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and on May 16th in the fourteenth year of Qingkang Mazi, the main force of the fat man's western expedition led by Lu Fatzi arrived at the foot of Fanchang City, and the 20,000 troops stationed here. The army was good at field battles and was full of vigor, so he resolutely rejected the suggestion of his deputy Garhan to take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Fatty Army and go out of the city to fight with his back. Confrontation, and strive to complete the task assigned by Lord Zhang Taizhang to hold back the main force of the fat man's army¡ªalthough Le Erjin knew very well that Zhang Tai's order was a typical reckless order.
The area from Fanchang to Wuhu has always been the main battlefield of the tug-of-war between the Fatty Army and the Qing Army. In the past year or so, Fanchang City has changed hands several times. Both the Qing Army and the Fatty Army have captured the city several times, and then They all gave up several times because there was no oil and water to fish and they were far away from the rear. After so much tossing and tossing, there are basically no good houses in Fanchang City. Many people died and injured in the flames of war, and fleeing seriously. So strict, but it has not yet fallen to the level of Eza, Tuhai and Zhou Peigong, so after returning to Fanchang City this time, Leerjin simply let all these remaining people leave the city in advance to prevent them from being affected by the flames of war.
When defending the city without human support from the people, it may not have much impact. What worried Le Erjin most was Fanchang¡¯s city defense. It has not been repaired and rebuilt, and can only be filled with straw sacks and sacks of soil, which is so fragile that it can be washed away by a heavy rain; and the moat is even more mixed, so blocked by earth and stone debris that even a child cannot be submerged, and it is impossible to stop it. Stop the progress of the fat army.
There is no other way, limited to the strict orders of Lord Zhang, Le Erjin, who has a strong sense of responsibility, can only follow the orders no matter how dissatisfied, and honestly do his best to strengthen the city defenses, repair the city walls and dig deep moats, prepare a lot of sacks, stones and sacks Wood and other materials for defending the city. But what Le Erjin didn't expect was that the fat man's army was advancing so fast. It set off from Taiping Mansion on the morning of May 14th and traveled more than 120 miles. On the evening of May 15th, the forward of the fat man's army led by Han Daren The team had already arrived at the outskirts of Fanchang, and on May 16th, the main force of the Fatty Army also arrived in Fanchang, leaving no time for Le Erjin to prepare.
The only thing that makes Leerjin more gratified is that, judging from the fact that the main force of the Fatty Army has arrived at Fanchang City in more than two days, the Fatty Army should not have brought too much food and grass this time¡ªotherwise the marching speed must not be so fast, so Fanchang As long as the Qing army can hold out for about ten days, even if there is no help from Prince Zhang, the main force of the fat army will be forced to retreat. At the same time, there is another point that is slightly beneficial to the Qing army, that is, because of sailing against the current, the Fatty Army Navy has just arrived at Sanshan Port, and there is still a distance from the Qing Army Navy stationed in Digang. unfavorable situation.
Before the war started, the scout battle had already started. In order to cut off the connection between Leerjin and Ghent Baturu, the reformed Han Daren personally commanded the cavalry of the fat army to encircle and suppress the scouts of the Qing army, and divided the two thousand cavalry of the fat army into Teams 20 and 15 launched a rigorous search and kill around Fanchang City, and the other five teams kept the mobile team. They immediately dispatched when they saw the fireworks signal, and assisted the friendly forces to strangle the Qing army scouts with all their strength. Not a single Qing army scout would be let go . Le Erjin knew that the fat man's intention to cut off his connection with Ghent Baturu must have no good intentions, so he organized the elite cavalry to go out of the city to fight against strangulation, and at the same time sent a letter to Ghent Batulu, demanding that Ghent Batulu Lu strictly guards Digang, and never sees his own handwritten letters. He must never land to rescue Fanchang City, so as not to let the fat man's army and sailors take advantage of it.
The bloody skirmish continued throughout the day on June 16th. The Qing cavalry, who were proficient in riding and archery, and the fat cavalry who had been honed through hard work, exchanged guns and arrows in the wilderness and hills. There were many fierce battles. The Qing cavalry was slightly better in bows and arrows. After passing the fat man army, the cavalry of the fat man army completely defeated the Qing army in terms of weapons and equipment. During the whole day, the sounds of horseshoes, bows and arrows breaking through the air, muskets and grenade explosions in the outskirts of Fanchang never stopped. Army and Qing cavalry blood stained the battlefield. It wasn't until it was getting dark that the Fatty Army dispatched a large group of infantry to join the scouting battlefield, and the Qing cavalry was forced to retreat back to the city. However, Leerjin's letter to Ghent Baturu was also extremely lucky to break through the blockade of the Fatty Army and was delivered to the In the Baturu Army of Ghent.
When the sky was completely dark, countless torches were ignited on the top of Fanchang City, and bonfires and torches as dense as stars were also ignited in the Fatty Army camp ten miles away, reflecting half of the sky red, making the sound of clanging siege weapons, It can be heard clearly even in the city of Fanchang. Feeling the soaring murderous aura, Le Erjin, who was commanding the Qing infantry on the city wall to strengthen the city defense overnight, was unavoidably worried, knowing that this time must be a tragic and unprecedented decisive battle, and it is very likely that it will be his last battle .
 Hard to mend.
I have to admit that Le Erjin, who was called an annoying fly by Fatty Lu, was indeed far superior to the Qing Dynasty God of War Prince Zhang in terms of commanding the army. Still carrying the sack of earth and rushing towards the gap, throwing the sack of earth sack heavily into the gap in the city wall to repair the blockage again, even if the soldiers in front were smashed to pieces by the fat army artillery, the soldiers of the Qing army behind would not hesitate Stepping on the flesh and blood of his companions, he continued to move forward, one after another, without hesitation. At the same time, the only few gunners in the Qing army ignored the dust and smoke, and tried their best to keep their eyes wide open, nervously looking for the headquarters of the flag formation of the Fat Man Army, and also looking for the only hope of victory for the Qing army.
After more than half an hour of violent bombardment, the Fanchang City Wall, which had been in disrepair for a long time, suddenly "bang" loudly. Unable to withstand the salvo of artillery fire from the Fat Man Army, the northeast corner collapsed first, and a hole more than ten feet wide was blown out. There were thunderous cheers from all over the place, and the Qing army was terrified. Only Le Erjin remained calm, just grabbed Baka, and shouted: "Take someone to mend the hole. From now on, you will be responsible for repairing the city wall!"
"Cover!" Baka agreed loudly, and led the troops away at a gallop. De Yeli, a subordinate next to him, yelled: "Master Baylor, Wugou's artillery fire is too fierce! If this continues, please let the servants lead the cavalry to attack and destroy Wugou's artillery formation!"
"Wu Gou's Sanhao rocket is so powerful, aren't you afraid?" Le Erjin asked back.
"My slave's surname is Niu Colu. If you defend, you will die, and if you attack, you will die. This slave is willing to gamble!" De Yeli replied solemnly.
"Go, I will give you a thousand cavalry." Le Erjin waved his hand, "Leave the city through the north gate."
De Yeli slapped Le Erjin a thousand, and immediately rushed down to the city without saying a word. A moment later, De Yeli led a thousand cavalry out of the city from the north gate, and made a detour towards the east gate. The fat man's army had already prepared, and the 20 cannons in the northeast turned their muzzles, aiming at De Yeli's cavalry The Sanhao rocket team, which was useless to attack the city, also took the opportunity to show their power by firing cannons and bombs, blasting out five or six hundred Sanhao rockets in one go.
"Brothers, go!" De Yeli himself rushed to the front holding the military flag, roaring with red eyes, "Come! Go! Fight with Wu Gou!" The Qing army cavalry who left the city with the determination to die also roared. Like thunder, he charged forward without fear.
Bravery can't make up for the huge gap between weapons. Amidst the endless explosions, the cavalry of the Qing army were smashed to pieces one after another. One after another, people turned their backs on their backs, and most of them fell down in the blink of an eye. Only a few lucky ones escaped the artillery and rockets of the fat army. The first salvo. But these lucky ones were not able to continue their luck. When the Fat Man¡¯s artillery fired again and the rockets fired again, more than 90% of the thousand cavalry of the Qing army fell down. On the battlefield filled with gunpowder, human corpses and horse corpses piled up like mountains, smashed flesh and bones It was like laying a carpet of blood on the ground.
"Kill! Kill! Kill Wugou!" De Yeli, who was lucky enough to rush past the coverage of the Sanhao rocket, was deaf and didn't know how many soldiers were left behind, but he still yelled and rushed towards the artillery team of the Fat Man Army . But when he rushed closer, the muskets of the Fat Man Army who were guarding in line had already fired their muskets, and Deyeli and his horse shot more than ten times. However, he was still crawling forward, moaning constantly, "Kill, kill Wu dog" And behind De Yeli, there was no longer a Qing soldier who could stand.
In just a short moment, thousands of Qing cavalry were wiped out. The soldiers of the Qing army in Fanchang City were terrified when they saw this scene, and Le Erjin burst into tears. He couldn't help but sighed, and said, "There are also warriors on the Mangou side. They know that they are moths flying into the flames, but they are still desperate. It is really admirable. Unfortunately, they are the enemies of our Chinese nation."
"Itanbu." Sighing, Fatty Lu called the famous traitor Itanbu to him again, and ordered: "Take a hundred people to clean up the cavalry battlefield just now. Except for the four slaves, the rest Bring back those who are still alive, and let the military doctor do their best to rescue them, I am still useful."
"Decree!" Itambu clasped his fists and agreed. But before the words fell, a shell suddenly fell twenty steps in front of Fatty Lu and exploded, releasing two unlucky soldiers of the Fatty Army. When Fatty Lu urgently ordered to rescue him, he smiled and said, "Little Leerjin!" It¡¯s pretty smart, if you don¡¯t have enough artillery, you don¡¯t shoot at each other, and use it as a beheading tactic. Fortunately, my luck is not as bad as my father-in-law¡¯s.¡± The army was bombarded to death, leading to the defeat of the Wu army)
"Young master, don't be complacent, the cannonballs have spotted our flag array!"
Xiao Erlang screamed and rushed forward, led a few soldiers to set up Fatty Lu and left. As the commander of the whole army, Fatty Lu was about to put on a show of losing his temper for the sake of face, but another shell was on the right side. Then he changed from Xiao Erlang and others carrying Fatty Lu away to Fatty Lu dragging Xiao Erlang away.
"Fuck it! Tell Lan Fu to concentrate firepower and kill the cannons full of dogs! Then push the mother and child cannons one mile forward, and concentrate firepower to bombard me!" (To be continued.
