Chapter 51 Closing the Net

"I'm fighting with them for time. Speed ​​up the marching speed. Don't blame me if I can't run. I'm delayed in training and didn't work hard. I will naturally suffer in war."

"Run forward quickly!" Zeng Shanbao ran in the front with a hundred cavalry. The infantry behind were slightly behind. The soldiers who were dragging behind were about to catch up with Yan Lisan's two cavalry companies. The vanguards of the First Battalion and the Third Battalion were less than two kilometers apart.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Zeng Shanbao rode his horse and whipped, galloping on the grass quickly. However, several cannons suddenly sounded in the originally quiet night sky ahead.

"What's going on? They still have people in front of them?" Zeng Shanbao was suddenly shocked when he heard the sound of cannons. Now there is only one way out. The other party actually planted people in front of them, immediately tied the reins and stopped moving forward.

"Reporting to the commander, someone was firing at us a kilometer ahead, but their gunfire range was not enough and they did not come." The scouts came back soon to report.

"Impossible, how could their artillery run so fast with cannons?" Zeng Shanbao felt even more confused at this time. There were people in all directions, and I wonder what to do.

"Can you see clearly how many people there are?"

"I can't see clearly. Before our scouts approached, they fired fire and we couldn't get through."

"Damn it, it's all messy. You can't leave here, and there are ambushing artillery fire over there. What's going on? Why did Yan Lisan's troops even maneuver so quickly?" Zeng Shanbao began to scratch his head and said anxiously, but he didn't know that the other party was not using cannons, but the grenades fired by the rifle.

"Then just rush to the left. There are not many people on their left, at most only a few hundred people, and they should be dispersed soon. However, they occupied the favorable terrain and hid on the hills. It would take some time to kill them. It is impossible for us to run out, and we can rush out as much as we can."

"Transfer my order, everyone will rush to the left to the opponent's defense line, and you must rush out!" Zeng Shanbao was very confused at this time. I don't know if it was easier to rush from the front or the easier to break through the left, but I thought I had to take my luck now.

Zeng Shanbao didn't know that there was only one platoon of troops in front, which was the easiest way to rush through their positions. They were just firing grenades and bluffed them. As expected, they scared him and turned around to escape to the left. There were two companies of people on the left, all of whom were carrying a large number of grenades, but they had not yet shown their strength. As soon as they approached, the grenades would naturally be fired like rain, and they would crazily harvest their lives.

"Helping!" Zeng Shanbao turned his horse's head again, hoping to rush out from the southwest direction, but he didn't have much time left.

At this time, the two vanguard companies were blocking Zeng Shanbao's way from left to right. Hu Chengzhi, the company commander of the First Battalion, was observing the enemy's movements through the moonlight. The people in the First Company were crawling on a small hill. They saw someone flashing from a distance, but they couldn't see clearly.

"Company Commander, Zeng Shanbao's men were scared away by the second row of howitzers and came to us." The scouts quickly came to report.

"Please note that they have a team of cavalry, and Zeng Shanbao is likely to be among them. Everyone is ready. After the opponent's cavalry enters the range, aim at their horses and shoot." Hu Chengzhi knew that it was a bit difficult to aim at a person with a rifle in the night, but the target of flattery was larger and he could see a blurry shadow, so he immediately ordered.

"KaKaKaKa..." All the rifles pulled the bolts and were ready to shoot. At this time, the scope did not work much, but the shadow of larger objects could be seen through the scope, but it was just not very clear.

"Let's fire!" Hu Chengzhi issued an order.

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." A dense gunshot suddenly sounded, and bullets shot towards Zeng Shanbao's Qing soldiers with a whistling sound.

"Boom!" A war horse was shot and raised its head in pain, neighed, and then fell to the ground to one side, and pushed the soldiers above under the horse, life and death unknown.

Then several war horses neighed and fell on the mountain. Several soldiers were thrown out and fell unconscious, while the rest of the war horses retreated frantically.

"Third Battalion, charge forward for me, and you must break out!" Zeng Shanbao did not dare to lead a hundred cavalry forward rashly, and immediately ordered more than 500 people from the Third Battalion who followed him to charge forward.

"kill!......"

A roar of shock suddenly came from the mountains. Five hundred people from Zengshanbao's Third Battalion began to carry rifles and ran towards the front with their waists.

"Report to the commander, the people from the Fifth Battalion also encountered the opponent's blockade, and the number of opponents was unknown!" At this time, a subordinate ran over to report on the situation on another mountain.

"I can't care about that much. I'll rush over to death. I must open a gap!" Zeng Shanbao thought about the First Battalion and the Fifth Battalion. There was always a battalion that could break through a hole so that he could escape with his cavalry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

A fierce sound of artillery fire rang out immediately. Hu Chengzhi issued an order to replace more than 130 people in the first company to attack grenades. Then, a dense sound of artillery fire came from another mountain a few hundred meters away. Zeng Shanbao's third battalion and the fifth battalion were respectively blocked by two vanguard grenades.

"Ah!..." The soldiers of the third battalion who were rushing in front were immediately submerged in artillery fire, and were blown up by shrapnel and fell down one after another. Seeing this, the soldiers behind were all crawling on the ground and dared not continue to charge.

"Commander, they have the support of artillery fire, we're done!" A soldier ran over with a sad face and said.

"Bang!" Zeng Shanbao was furious when he saw this and immediately shot the soldier in the head, and the soldier fell to the ground and died.

"After your mother, please shake my morale!"

"Run forward for me, no matter how many people die, they will rush out!" Zeng Shanbao let out an angry roar, and bloodthirsty fire in his eyes.

"Commander, no, their cavalry company has rushed to our backs and started to catch fire with our soldiers. Moreover, they have artillery support, and our soldiers have suffered heavy casualties." At this time, someone came over to report the unfavorable news.

"Damn, how could the cavalry have artillery fire?" Zeng Shanbao immediately frowned and asked in confusion.

"I don't know that their barrels can contain shells. The shells were fired from the barrels, and my subordinates saw them with their own eyes."

"The gun barrel was fired. What kind of gun did Yan Lisan's troops use? Damn it, this is still a human being. Could it be a heavenly soldier?" Zeng Shanbao's scalp was numb, unable to accept the opponent's firepower was so weird and fierce that he almost fell off the horse's back.

"Report to the commander, the 7th Battalion has surrendered, and the two opponents of the other party have followed and captured a large number of our captives. The 8th Battalion can hardly bear it. Some people have already raised their hands to surrender." The news of the defeat came one after another, and Zeng Shanbao was sweating heavily, becoming a frightened bird, at a loss.

"Cycle, all the cavalry brothers and the people from the Third Battalion rushed over from the front in the fire!" Zeng Shanbao was already crazy. If he didn't leave at this time, he would have no time. He immediately roared and shouted.

"Come on!" Zeng Shanbao's cavalry began to rush towards the mountains ahead, and the people from the Third Battalion also began to get up from the ground and charge forward in the fire of artillery.

Suddenly, there were trunk heads all over the mountains, mixed between weeds and low numbers.

"Company Commander, they all rushed over."

"Continue to fire grenades. When you see someone running closer, you throw the grenades and block them all!"

"Run!" Zeng Shanbao knew that the pursuers behind had arrived and had no way to go, so he rushed forward with his cavalry.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." Hundreds of grenades emitted brilliant colors in the night and exploded among Zeng Shanbao's men. One by one, the soldiers fell into pools of blood, and their broken limbs and arms spread out. The difference in equipment comparison between the two sides was too big, and the rifles could not play a role, which completely became the first performance of launching grenades in the first line.

"Their cavalry rushed over and beat me hard!" Hu Chengzhi shouted immediately when he saw a team of cavalry rushing two hundred meters away.

"Zeng Shanbao is likely to want to escape on a horse. Please be careful, you must not let the rider rush over!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Grenades shot into the cavalry team.

"Rare for me, the disobedience will die!" Zeng Shanbao saw that the soldiers of the third battalion were a little scared and hid behind and did not dare to sprint, and immediately roared almost madly.

"Company Commander, our grenades are almost finished, and the soldiers are starting to change bullets and shoot."

"Damn it, it would be great if there were a few hundred more grenades." There were only a few dozen grenades left, and Hu Chengzhi was also a little anxious.

"Boom!" A shell landed near Zeng Shanbao's horse head. Zeng Shanbao felt countless pieces shot at him, and then screamed, flew out, landing on the grass several meters away.

"Commander, Commander!"

"Oh no, Commander Zeng was killed by the bomb. Brothers, we can't rush any more. If we rush again, we will all die. Let's surrender!"

"Surrender!"

.........

"Put down all the guns, and stop killing them!" The people from the First Company began to shout loudly to Zeng Shanbao's people on the top of the mountain. At this time, there were only a dozen grenades left, so they simply stopped firing.

"**, will we surrender?" A sentry officer asked anxiously next to the radar name of the Third Battalion's pilot.

"Do we have any choice in this situation? The opponent uses artillery fire. If we charge again, we will all die here." Radarming didn't know that there were very few grenades left in the opponent's first company. At this time, he was already desperate and had no confidence and courage to fight the beasts.

"Put down your guns and surrender!" Radarming gave the order in pain.

Then the soldiers of the Third Battalion threw their rifles to the ground and began to line up on the grass, waiting for the other party to come and accept surrender.

"Raise your hands!"

"Raise your hands!"
