Chapter 219 Night Attack 2
It would be better to take advantage of the fact that the Zhenla foreign soldiers had not noticed it and directly attacked the Zhenla camp to get some rest time for the Nongnai City defenders.
"Yes, it's indeed a good plan." Chen Shangchuan nodded and expressed his support for Lin Xuye's attack.
A Ming general asked immediately: "The strategy is good, but why do you think that the Zhenla Fan people would be so obedient? If the troops in his camp were all out, how should they resist it with more than a thousand people under Li Shi's command?"
"That's why we need it." Wang Shi smiled and looked at the flag officer kneeling on the ground.
"In today's battle, the cows of the foreigners were struck by our artillery fire and fled in all directions. Their Lu Gongche was just scattered under the city wall. Our army could go out of the city and burn the Lu Gongche directly. The Zhenla Fan people who heard the news would definitely come out to rescue them. At that time, reinforcements outside the city would take the opportunity to enter the foreigners' camp." Wang Shi told several generals.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we attack and destroy Lu Gongche today, then tomorrow, the Zhenla Fan people will lead mules, horses, or even the soldiers to push themselves. Just a few dozen steps under the city, you can climb up the city wall with the ladder of Lu Gongche. At that time, Nongnai City will be broken." Wang Shi said.
Lin Xu's plan was finally recognized by Ming generals, and Chen Shangchuan finally decided to attack the camp at night.
The full moon hangs high,
Lin Xu lay on a pile of soil, and with the bright white moonlight, he could vaguely see two teams of soldiers wearing vine armor changing defenses.
From time to time, there were also the neighing of war horses and the croaking calls of foreign soldiers.
A team of horses galloped past one side of the camp, followed by two rows of infantry, but perhaps because of the night march, there was not much distance between the cavalry and infantry.
Since the last time he was attacked by Nong Nai's Ming army.
The Zhenla general, who felt deeply invisible, set up layers of defense, focusing on guarding against the night attacks of the Ming people.
Especially during the siege battle this morning, Lu Gongche fled in scattered cattle and scattered under the city wall. Ruan Youjing, who had a foreshadowing of Mingren, would immediately order the entire army to guard the police and wait for Nong Nai's Ming army to leave the city.
Ruan Youjing, who was still processing official documents in the camp late at night, suddenly heard the sound of shouts of killing outside the camp, and couldn't help but look happy.
"Report." A soldier hurried into the tent.
"The Ming army in the city suddenly opened the city gate and came out." The soldier reported.
"Haha, it's true that as I expected, the Ming people in the city couldn't hold back." Ruan Youjing laughed loudly, as if everything was under his control.
"Appoint the left camp and the right camp, and all the front camps will attack, and they will inevitably rob and kill the Ming people under the city wall." Ruan Youjing naturally would not miss such an opportunity and quickly ordered.
"Bang bang bang." The Guangnan gunner on the Lu Bus fired desperately.
A falcon cannon was sparking in the night, and lead bullets hit them straight into the mud in the distance.
The sound of killing in the distance was shocking the sky. Wang Shi and other generals led thousands of officers and soldiers and village soldiers to attack at night. They were all out, leaving only two hundred soldiers guarding the city walls.
Lu Gongche, who had only more than 200 Guangnan soldiers guarded, naturally could not stop the offensive of thousands of Ming troops.
A jar of tincture oil was thrown onto the Lu Gongbus by Ming soldiers.
Although Lu Gongche is tall and has a strong texture, it is still made of wood after all, so it must be afraid of fire.
"Let it go!" Rockets broke through the air and shot towards the chariot.
The huge Lu Gongche is simply the best target.
Soon, the tincture oil was ignited.
The Guangnan soldiers on the above floors tried their best to hand over the water and put out the fire.
But obviously, in the face of the rapid fire, this insignificant water storage is useless.
But before the Ming army could continue to project rockets, bursts of shouts of killing suddenly came from Zhenla camp.
I saw fires in the camp of the foreign people, and shouting to kill the sky.
"No, the foreigners had expected that we would attack at night." A Ming army general's face darkened and he said unhappy.
"It's okay, listen to the shouts of killing, and we have led the foreign troops in the front camp and left and right camps out of us." Wang Shi laughed.
"Sir, I really expect things like a god." Seeing the Ming army coming out in full swing, she hid herself and said in praise.
"The front battalion has 800 vanguards, and the left and right battalions have 500 troops. The two armies combined are enough to deal with the Ming army. If they cooperate with the horse team, they will definitely defeat the Ming army." Several foreign generals also laughed, as if they were sure to have the Ming people.
On the hill more than two miles away, Lin Xu was looking coldly at the firelight looming in the distance.
"Sir, all the foreign troops in the left and right camps have emerged and fought with General Chen's army." Li Shi said anxiously.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer." Lin Xu was calm, like an old monk entering into meditation.
Li Shi couldn't help but be so anxious that all the Ming troops guarding Nongnai City had already emerged. If the Ming army would attack Zhenla camp overnight and stabbed the knife in the back, then Nongnai Ming army would likely have collapsed the city.
"It seems that the foreigners are still very alert, and the army in the central camp has not been mobilized." Lin Xu frowned.
The central camp of the foreigners also had about 800 troops, but they had not been mobilized.
The Hou camp was where the foreigners stored the supplies, grain and grass, and there were only more than 200 soldiers guarding them.
Not only Li Shi was anxious, but Lin Xu was also anxious.
This time he had only one thousand troops, and the foreign soldiers left behind in the camp were about one thousand, but fortunately, he brought out six Folang machine cannons and two thunderbolt cannons this time.
Seeing that the foreign soldiers in the camp were no longer mobilized, Lin Xu immediately ordered an attack.
Ruan Youjing personally rode a large horse and led the horse team to supervise the battle in the camp.
Previously, he handed over more than half of the cavalry to Li Youcheng.
As a result, all of them were killed under the artillery of the Ming people.
Now, he still has more than fifty riders in his hands, which is the only mobile power he can rely on.
What surprised him was that the Ming army fought with the foreign soldiers after breaking out of the city wall.
Seeing that Zhenla reinforcements arrived, not only did not retreat, but instead became more and more braver.
Even the Lu Gongche didn't bother to destroy it, and kept fighting with the foreign army, which was completely different from the previous appearance of defending the city and avoiding war.
Suddenly, waves of cannon sound came from behind.
Immediately afterwards, there was a shocking shout of killing.
"Not good." Ruan Youjing's hair was standing up. He finally understood why the Ming army, who had been guarding the city and avoiding war, had the courage to come out.
"Damn it, when will the Ming people's reinforcements arrive?" Looking at the back camp of the army with flames soaring into the sky, Wei Wu was furious.
He had always been worried that the Qianhai camp of the Ming people would raid the flanks of the army, so he sent Mosin to lead the army to wipe out. Who would have thought that the Ming people were so stubborn that the Zhenla army would lose its troops and even Ruan Youjing's Guangnan cavalry came in.
In desperation, Niu Wu had to give up besieging Qianhai camp.
And now there are obviously more than one or two hundred Ming troops coming.
"The Ming people set up many camps in Dongpu. I guess the Ming people scattered the camps and soldiers from all over the country came to fight." Mossin was commanding the Central Camp's Fen Army at this time and spoke when he saw the flames of the rear camp.
"Sir, the back camp is where our army stores supplies and food. What if the Ming people burned our army's supplies and food?"
