Chapter 264 The first victory

Early next morning.

The sky is not very bright yet, and the sky is dark blue. This dark blue sky in the early morning is very beautiful, and it is even more beautiful when paired with the vast fields.

However, in such a beautiful scenery, there is going to be a cruel bloodshed in the world.

Under the dark blue sky, at the end of the vast fields, there is a forest that is not dense but covers a large area. In this forest, there are more than ten scouts from Chang'an camp hidden.

At this time, a group of rebels rushed into the woods aggressively, like a group of ferocious beasts, and pounced on the Chang'an camp scouts hiding in various places in the forest.

The killing suddenly begins! Blood suddenly appears!

Some scouts were struck by swords, some were stabbed by spears, and some were shot by bows and crossbows...

One after another, Chang'an camp scouts died tragically in the hands of the rebels. Even so, some scouts still fired flares into the dark blue early morning sky above the woods...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three flares exploded in the dark blue sky one after another, which meant that the three scouts had fired the flares they carried. It also meant that the rebels could not launch a surprise attack on the 40,000 Chang'an camp troops in the vast field behind the woods.

.

Thousands of Chang'an Camp officers and soldiers were guarding the vast fields in front. These officers and soldiers were mainly used to detain the rebel officers and soldiers who came to surrender. The leading general was Deputy General Di Changping.

At this moment, Di Changping received the signal of the rebel attack. According to the tactical arrangements made by Jia Yun in advance, Di Changping immediately ordered thousands of guarding officers and soldiers to retreat toward the rear of the field.

This retreat was very particular. There was clearly a narrow road in the middle of the field. However, the thousands of guarding officers and soldiers did not retreat from the middle. Instead, they retreated around the sides of the field.

Because more than 300 trip mines were planted in the middle of the field, this was a great gift prepared by Jia Yun for the rebels.

While thousands of guarding officers and soldiers were retreating, dense crowds of figures emerged from the woods and swarmed to the front of the field. There were more than 30,000 people in total, all rebels.

Mu Zhi and Mei Kui originally sent a total of 50,000 rebels to attack Suzhou City. More than 10,000 people were killed, wounded or fled. Currently, only more than 30,000 people remain.

There are only more than 30,000 unstable rebels, many of whom are temporarily recruited civilians. How dare they come to fight against the 40,000 Chang'an camp army? You know, Chang'an camp is a support army that is often on the battlefield, and its combat effectiveness is higher than

The capital camp is stronger.

I have to say that this rebel battle against Chang'an camp was a big adventure.

The rebels also relied on their powerful artillery capabilities.

One of the reasons why Taizu Qing conquered the Qing Dynasty as if he was cheating was that he secretly collected a lot of firearms, mostly Western firearms imported from Southeast Asia, mainly artillery.

Drawing on this experience, Mu Zhi also attached great importance to artillery. The Mu family had an astonishing amount of property, and a large proportion of the property was invested in artillery. The artillery was powerful, which was why Mu Zhi dared to rebel this time.

reliance.

Although there are only more than 30,000 rebels at the moment, they are carrying hundreds of artillery pieces, many of which are quite powerful. There are more than 100 sub-cannons. According to the rebels' speculation, although the Chang'an camp came this time

The 40,000-strong army should not carry many artillery pieces. After all, the journey is long and the journey is fast.

This is indeed the case. The Chang'an camp only brought over a hundred artillery pieces in total this time, among which the main ones were the easy-to-carry and powerful double-deck cannons. There were one hundred double-deck cannons.

At this moment, Mu Chi, Sun Shixin, Mei He, and Gu Zhichong led more than 30,000 rebels to the front of the field. Seeing thousands of Chang'an camp guards retreating from both sides of the field, Sun Shixin felt strange and thought to himself.

Why retreat from the sides instead of the middle?

However, although Sun Shixin was both civil and military, brave and resourceful, he did not know that Yun Guang was killed by a tripping mine. He did not know that Chang'an Camp had recently been working hard to manufacture this novel firearm. Even if he knew, he might not be able to guess at the moment that the trap was laid in the middle of the field.

Trip mine array, because the Qing Dynasty had always paid little attention to land mines, and had never used mine array tactics in the current war.

More than 30,000 rebels advanced towards the middle of the field. Under the protection of some cavalry and archers, artillerymen pushed hundreds of artillery at the front.

At the same time, the 30,000 Chang'an Camp troops originally stationed at the rear of the field have been quickly mobilized. The 10,000 Chang'an Camp troops retreating from both sides of the field have joined these 30,000 troops. A total of 40,000 troops quickly mobilized in the field

A formation was set up at the rear.

There is more sunlight in the sky, and there is more light on the fields.

The rebel artillery pushed hundreds of artillery pieces and was close to the middle of the field. The hundreds of artillery pieces were divided into several rows, and each row contained hundreds of artillery pieces. As long as these artillery pieces continued to advance some distance, they would reach the rear of the field.

The Chang'an camp army will enter the attack range of the artillery, and they can fire.

No general among the rebels discovered that there were more than 300 trip mines hidden in the middle of the field, a terrifying trip mine formation, and the gift that Jia Yun had prepared for the rebels. Because no general could think of such a thing.

, because these trip mines are hidden, and also because it is the early morning hours with limited light.

The trip mine array in the middle of the field was carefully arranged. There were more than 300 trip mines arranged in four rows. In the first three rows, there were hundreds of mines in each row, with an average of one every two meters.

At this time, the hundreds of artillery pieces pushed by the rebels at the front encountered hundreds of trip mines placed in the first row by the Chang'an camp.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang...

In an instant, dozens of trip mines were activated.

In an instant, dozens of explosions sounded, like an enhanced version of firecrackers, and each trip thunder was very powerful.

In an instant, more than a hundred of the rebel artillerymen who were at the forefront were killed without even having time to scream, including a general who led the artillery. The military attaché did this.

The rank is already quite high, and the next step is to become a high-ranking official of the second rank. It is pitiful that this general from the Hangzhou Battalion died miserably in such a way, similar to Yun Guang and Bao Liangcai who were killed by a trip mine.

In addition to more than a hundred people being killed, some people were injured, there was a burst of heart-rending screams, and some artillery pieces were even blown up...

Although for the rebels composed of more than 30,000 people, such casualties are not huge. However, this kind of mysterious trip thunder array kills and kills, which is a great deterrent to the rebels. The invisible enemy is more terrifying.

, not to mention that there are no enemies in the middle of the field right now.

This kind of mysterious killing, coupled with the artillerymen who were killed and injured, as well as the artillery that was blown up, made the rebels walking in the front feel terrified, and the rebels were already unstable and had low morale.

As a result, some of the rebels walking in front suddenly fled in panic, many of them cavalry. The fleeing of the cavalry was more likely to cause chaos, because in addition to soldiers, there were also horses. As these rebel officers and soldiers fled in panic

, more people followed and fled, and the scene was chaotic for a while.

Just at this moment, the Chang'an camp army launched. More than a hundred artillery pieces, including a hundred primary and secondary artillery pieces, fired from the rear of the field toward the middle of the field.

Boom boom boom boom boom...

The sound of artillery came one after another, resounding through the sky, deafening. One after another, the artillery shells fell in the middle of the field and exploded. The artillery fire continued in the sky, and people fell on their backs. The rebels in the middle of the field were already in chaos, and many people were already fleeing. Now as these artillery shells fell from the sky,

Not only did a hellish scene of rapid casualties and bloody deaths occur, but the chaos also became more serious, from chaos to chaos, with more people fleeing.

This very chaotic situation caused the rebel artillerymen in front to get into chaos. Many of the people who fled were artillerymen. These people abandoned the artillery they managed. For a while, many rebel artillery pieces seemed to be

They became ownerless, and some of the artillery pieces were hit and damaged by artillery from Chang'an camp.

This chaotic situation happened so quickly that the rebel generals such as Mu Chi, Sun Shixin, Mei He, and Gu Zhichong were unable to stop it in time. When they shouted to stop it, the rebels walking in front

The army, including artillery, cavalry, and archers, was about to collapse. Hundreds of artillery were either abandoned or damaged. This was the rebels' biggest reliance!

Naturally, the rebel generals would not withdraw their troops. They shouted for the rebels to attack and for the artillerymen to come forward and use their artillery to fire.

However, there were many trip mines in the middle of the field. When some rebel officers and soldiers attacked, dozens more trip mines were detonated, and many people were killed and injured. Therefore, no matter how loudly the rebel generals shouted, there were not many rebel officers and soldiers.

Dare to rush through the middle of the field.

The trip mine formation in the middle of the field prevented the rebels from charging through the middle of the field.

At this time, more than a hundred artillery pieces from the Chang'an Camp army continued to fire while advancing, and there were also archers sandwiched between them. The artillery was constantly firing to bombard the rebels, and the archers were also shooting arrows at the rebels. At the same time,

, a large number of shotgunners attacked the rebels from both sides of the artillery.

There was continuous artillery fire, gunfire, war, and smoke.

After a powerful and strange attack with artillery, bows and arrows, and shotguns, the number of rebels who were killed, injured, or fled has reached thousands, from more than 30,000 to less than 30,000. The remaining

With less than 30,000 people, not to mention ordinary officers and soldiers, even some generals did not dare or did not want to fight.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

The timid Mei He was so frightened that she couldn't help shouting.

Mei He was one of the four leading figures and the leader of the Zhenjiang Camp rebels. Now that he shouted, the Zhenjiang Camp rebels on the scene naturally collapsed.

The Zhenjiang Camp rebels collapsed, and the Hangzhou Camp rebels naturally followed suit...

However, in a battle of this scale, it is not easy for the army to escape.

Nearly 20,000 Chang'an camp cavalry rushed towards the defeated rebels from both sides of the field. Many of them used bows, and many of them used crossbows. The rebels collapsed, but the Chang'an camp's cavalry charged at them, using bows and arrows.

Crossbow arrows form a rain of arrows.

After a fierce pursuit, the battle ended with Chang'an Camp's victory.

It was already early morning, the sun was rising in the eastern sky, the sky was already bright, and the vast fields showed their lushness in the sunlight. However, what appeared in this lush field was like hell.

It was a horrific scene, with corpses scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

In this single battle, the rebels left more than 5,000 corpses here, and tens of thousands more fled or were injured. Of the originally more than 30,000 rebels, there were only less than 20,000 left, and,

Almost all the hundreds of artillery pieces were gone! Relatively speaking, Chang'an Camp's losses were very small.

At the moment, Chang'an Camp is taking inventory of the battlefield, and the person in charge of the inventory is Deputy General Fang Degong.

After an inventory, Fang Degong excitedly came to Jia Yun and respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, a total of more than 400 artillery pieces of various types were seized in this battle, most of which are still usable. It is estimated that the rebel artillery was almost wiped out."

Jia Yun nodded, her expression calm, but her heart was unavoidably excited.

This is the first battle of the Chang'an camp to counter the rebellion in Jiangnan. It is also the first battle of the Chang'an camp led by Jia Yun. It can be said to be the first battle. This first battle is a great victory and is of great significance! This first battle not only caused losses to the rebels

The tragedy also allowed the Chang'an camp to obtain a large amount of loot, especially hundreds of artillery pieces.

Fang Degong looked at Jia Yun with admiration and even admiration.

In the past, when Jia Yun was a first-class imperial guard, Fang Degong, who was the Minister of Sanzhi of the Internal Guard Department, was Jia Yun's superior. Because of this, Fang Degong was recently transferred by Emperor Tianzhi to the position of deputy general of Chang'an Camp, which in turn made him the deputy general of Jia Yun.

Fang Degong was somewhat depressed about Yun's subordinates. But now that Jia Yun had led the Chang'an camp in such a first battle, Fang Degong's depression dissipated and was replaced by appreciation and even admiration for Jia Yun.

This sixth prince, who was only recognized by Emperor Tianzhi recently, is truly a genius from heaven and a natural-born general. Fang Degong really admires his tactical deployment in today's first battle. In addition, Fang Degong originally looked down on Tiao.

Thunder is a firearm developed by Jia Yun, but I didn't expect that a small trip thunder would play a major role in today's war.

Di Changping, Lu Qi and other Chang'an camp generals all had similar thoughts to Fang Degong. Even Cao Wu, who was used to Jia Yun's awesomeness, had more respect for Jia Yun because of this great victory.

The battlefield had been inventoried, and after the Chang'an camp had made some adjustments, Jia Yun issued a military order: "Hunt the rebels!"

The so-called "Don't chase the poor aggressors" is not suitable at the moment. What Chang'an camp should do is to chase the poor aggressors with the remaining brave men. The rebels suffered such heavy losses and their morale has been weakened. The morale of the Chang'an camp is high and there are hundreds more artillery pieces. This

Wouldn't it be foolish not to pursue him from time to time?

Jia Yun wants to destroy this rebel army as soon as possible, and there is Hangzhou city waiting for him to attack. Once this rebel army is destroyed, it means that the counter-insurgency in Jiangnan will most likely win, and it may be a big victory.

Win!

Immediately, the mighty Chang'an camp army, led by Jia Yun, left the bloody grassland and headed toward the rebels in pursuit of the rebels.
