Chapter 1093 Difficult choice

"Military advisor, this... what should we do?" Wan Meng was confused at this time, not knowing how to deal with this unexpected situation. Losing so quickly and completely, this result brought him

The blow was the worst in recent years. If it weren't for Pu Xueguang and a group of his men, he would have even thought of escaping.

Pu Xueguang's situation was not much better than him. He never thought that Wanjiajun would be so vulnerable in front of this unknown opponent. Their view of the battle was not as good as that from the tower, so the process of the battle between the two sides was not very clear.

Really, with just a random shot of fire cannons, both our infantry and cavalry units collapsed almost at the same time. All the plans proposed to Wan Meng turned into a joke in the face of the opponent's tyrannical force. What about the combination of infantry and horse?

Attacked from both front and back, it collapsed without even a splash of water.

However, although Pu Xueguang didn't know how his side lost, he knew that he couldn't show panic at this time, otherwise Wanmeng would definitely think that he felt guilty because his plan failed. At that moment, Pu Xueguang pretended to be calm and said: "

Don’t panic, Master, because as I see below, the Haihan people may have used some evil magic!"

"Evil...evil magic? Does the military advisor have any countermeasures?" Wan Meng was even more surprised and confused when he heard this. He had only seen fire and smoke on the battlefield from a distance. He was wondering whether it was a fire blunderbuss shooting or something else.

But he didn't have a definite judgment. He himself had no education, and he was more willing to believe that the situation that he couldn't get a reasonable explanation for came from some kind of supernatural force.

Pu Xueguang said: "I haven't figured out the origin of their evil magic yet, and I can't think of a way to break it for the moment. However, there must be loopholes in this evil way. After we take some time to investigate slowly, we can finally find its weakness. It's just that in

Before that, it is not advisable to fight with them to avoid unnecessary losses."

"Yes, yes, what the military advisor said makes sense. I also feel that it is not advisable to fight forcefully. It is better to observe the situation first." Although Wanmeng did not go into battle just now, he was really shocked by this one-sided battle with an unknown outcome.

Moreover, most of the men and horses he brought to Fushan County have been destroyed just now. If he still leads the remaining people out to fight, it is not bloody, but stupid. Even if he wants to take action, it will have to wait until next time.

Let's wait until reinforcements arrive.

Pu Xueguang had spent some time in the rebel camp and had seen the power of firecrackers in combat. He was basically certain that his opponent was using firecrackers. However, during the battle just now, there were constant flashes of fire on the battlefield. What was the continuous shooting on horseback?

With his knowledge, he couldn't figure out how to do it. He could only attribute it to "evil magic" for the time being. It's no wonder that the other party, with dozens of men and horses, dared to run outside Fushan County and wreak havoc. With such fighting methods

, then you can indeed feel confident and can go anywhere.

In two or three hours, the second batch of reinforcements transferred from Fushan County will arrive. Pu Xueguang estimates that there will be at least four to five hundred people. This group of people was originally intended to increase the chance of winning for his own operations, but after this morning's

After a brief confrontation, he was not sure about the next action. The other side came with several more ships in the morning, and it was obvious that reinforcements would arrive, and the hope of defeating the opponent on the frontal battlefield became even slimmer.

At this time, some people who had escaped from the battlefield finally returned to the slums outside the county. Fortunately, the Haihan people did not seem to have any intention of coming to recover them. After hastily cleaning the battlefield, they escorted the prisoners back to the riverside camp. Wanmeng and Pu Xueguang went away.

He quickly asked these subordinates what happened on the battlefield just now.

However, these people had just escaped from death, and they were all in a state of despair. They only remembered that the weapon in their hands flashed when the other party was still a few feet away, and someone on their side was injured and fell down. They had no idea what happened.

Apart from turning around and running away, there seemed to be no other more reasonable response method at that time.

Only one of them clearly remembered that the weapon used by the opponent's cavalry was indeed some kind of firecracker, and the reason he was able to confirm this was because he himself was a firecracker. However, the bird cannon he carried was

During the battle, he only fired one shot, and he didn't know if it hit the target. Before he could load the ammunition, his own camp couldn't withstand the opponent's shot and collapsed. He caught a horse in the chaos.

The horse that lost its owner successfully escaped back.

"Nonsense! How can there be such a one-man-operated repeating fire blunderbuss in the world!" Wanmeng did not believe the description of his men. Although he was not a weapons expert, he had so many people under his men, and he had passed through various methods sporadically in the past few years.

A lot of firearms were brought back through this channel, including more than a dozen native cannons, but the only repeating firearms that can be carried and operated by a single soldier are three-eyed blunderbuss. Even if these Haihan people came from nowhere,

It is impossible to buy some three-eyed guns for everyone. After all, I have never heard of any cavalry in the world equipping everyone with such a clumsy weapon as three-eyed guns.

Pu Xueguang was more attentive and patiently asked this person in detail about the firing frequency and lethality of the Haihan weapon. However, the situation was too chaotic at the time and he could not pay attention to these details. No one was shot in this battle.

Escaped, and the other party had all the corpses and wounded carried away by the prisoners when cleaning the battlefield. The damage caused by this weapon could not be verified.

Although he didn't know what the weapons used by the opponent were, Pu Xueguang could basically confirm at this time that a large part of the reason for this defeat was that his family suffered a loss in weapons and equipment. As for the tactics... How many tactics does Wanjiajun have?

It can be said that they are nothing more than Cheng Yaojin's three-sword ax, and they only know a few moves when they are in battle. And Pu Xueguang, who lacked observation of the fighting situation due to the limitation of the terrain, was not able to realize the true strength of both sides like Huang Qu on the top of the city.

How big of a gap exists.

Wan Meng finally waited patiently for Pu Xueguang to finish asking, and then asked reluctantly: "Military advisor, if this battle is lost, it will be lost, but if this group of people is allowed to do whatever they want, the foundation of the Wan family army in Dengzhou will be loosened.

Come on. Think carefully about what else you can do to deal with them!"

"Master, I think we have to use the mountain-suppressing cannon to defeat these people." What other tricks could Pu Xueguang have? Even infantry and cavalry were used, but it didn't work. In addition to bringing out the big killers of his own camp, he also

I really can't think of any other tricks that can be used. But after using this special trick, Wan Jiajun has no other tricks at all. Pu Xueguang doesn't know whether it is wrong or right to do this. He can only

Let’s use it to deal with Wanmeng first.

"Yes, yes, there are mountain-suppressing cannons in the village!" Wan Meng calmed down a little: "Then he ordered that the mountain-suppressing cannons from various villages be gathered together and transported to Fushan County. No matter how powerful the Haihan people are, they will eventually

It’s still a body of flesh and blood, and it won’t break into pieces after being shot!”

Wan Meng once again put aside his wishful thinking. What he said was true. Although the Haihan Army was powerful, it was still flesh and blood. In this short battle, although there was no

He defeated his opponent in suspense, but not without paying any price.

When Liu Xian led the cavalry to charge in front of the Wanjia Army formation, the gunmen and archers in the opponent's camp were not idle. They also launched an attack, but their number was too small to pose an effective threat to the cavalry company.

.However, two people and two horses were still injured at that time, and they soon lost their combat capability. If they had not quickly defeated the opponent with the advantage of weapons, the battle damage would probably have further increased.

Fortunately, the injuries to both the man and the war horse were not fatal. However, both horses were injured in the legs. It is difficult to say whether they will be able to return to health in the future. Moreover, it took a lot of effort to get them out of the battlefield.

In the end, the military doctor accompanying the team requisitioned two tents and temporarily converted them into stretchers, and asked the prisoners of war to carry the two horses back to the river.

Although he won the battle, Liu Xian's face was extremely gloomy. Due to the loss of these two horses, he would definitely be scolded by Harugong later. Amakusa Shiro and Sun Zhen came to see his appearance and were a little confused. Sun

Zhen asked: "Isn't this just a small injury? The man and the horse are not dead. Do you care so much about it? This is the first victory of your cavalry battalion!"

Liu Xian responded: "The opponent is just a group of bandits. Winning is a matter of course, and there is nothing to show off. It's just a small scene like this where two horses were lost. How can I explain it to Chief Ha?"

Amakusa Shiro said: "On the battlefield, casualties are inevitable. How can there be no losses? Our special operations battalion is known as the undefeated division. It has been invincible in six years since its formation. With such an impressive record, what do you think the special operations battalion's battle losses will be?"

Although they are both company commanders, Amakusa Shiro's military experience is much higher than Liu Xian's. Coupled with the prestige of the special operations battalion, he did not dare to make false claims. He could only say politely: "With the special operations battalion's ability, I guess the battle losses will be inevitable."

Extremely low. In terms of actual combat, the cavalry battalion should learn more from friendly forces."

Amakusa Shiro shook his head and said: "Even if you have the upper hand, fighting will eventually lead to death. Currently, there are more than two hundred soldiers from the special operations battalion buried in the Sanya Martyrs' Shrine, and the number of those who have been discharged due to injuries is not less than ·1

Yes. When Chief Qian recruited the first batch of soldiers in Heitu Port to form this army, there are now less than thirty of them still serving in the army."

Liu Xian was surprised and said: "It turns out that so many brothers in the special operations camp died on the battlefield!"

Amakusa Shiro said: "When troops are deployed overseas, most of the time our special operations battalion takes the lead and serves as the vanguard, so battle losses are bound to be inevitable. Having said that, if the brothers had not sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, the special operations battalion would have been able to have the undefeated division.

Honor. How can you become an elite division without being tempered and tested by life and death! If you care more about life and death in battle, you will be more timid in action in the future, or even afraid to move forward! Company Commander Liu, I think this is true.

You should be able to understand!"

After hearing these words, Liu Xian suddenly came to his senses as if enlightened. He clasped his fists at Amakusa Shiro and said, "I am confused! Liu, thank you Brother Amakusa for your advice!"

Amakusa Shiro also returned the greeting and said: "I don't take the advice seriously. In my opinion, Captain Liu has just entered the battlefield for the first time and may still be a little uncomfortable with it. After commanding a few more battles in the future, his heart will gradually harden."

The growth history of the special operations battalion can almost be seen as a microcosm of the development history of the Haihan Army. After its establishment, this unit went to war in both the north and south, and participated in most of the important battles in the expansion of the Haihan Army. It has made numerous military exploits.

, and also trained a batch of outstanding soldiers. Even the executive committee agreed that this unit is the ace division of the Haihan Army. Whenever there is an important mission, it must first be considered to be handed over to the special operations battalion for execution. But this unit

The loss of personnel in the army's growth process is also unavoidable. While it has achieved brilliant results, it has also suffered casualties that cannot be ignored.

If the frequency of combat is taken into account, the casualty ratio of the special operations battalion is already very low compared to the army of the same era. Although Qian Tiandun also cherishes the lives of his soldiers, he will never deliberately instill in them the need to control in battle.

The idea of ​​​​battle damage is to avoid fear of war in the hearts of soldiers over time. Amakusa Shiro has been in the special operations camp for so many years, and the number of battles he has experienced is far beyond what Liu Xian can compare with. For life and death on the battlefield

Also see more clearly.

After Amakusa Shiro enlightened Liu Xian, he got back to business. Just when the cavalry was fighting with each other on the outside, several immigrants also took out sharp knives from their belongings and tried to cause trouble, and injured two soldiers who were not prepared. However, this kind of

The means were immediately suppressed by force, and the few people who tried to cause trouble were quickly dispatched with bayonets by the soldiers who surrounded them. Afterwards, the soldiers conducted an interrogation of the remaining immigrants and found several people who had hidden weapons but did not have them.

A gangster who dares to take action.

Sun Zhen immediately conducted an emergency interrogation. After cracking the heads of the two prisoners, the remaining suspects all confessed their origins and intentions. After Amakusa Shiro returned with the prisoners in custody, Sun Zhen reported the relevant situation to him

, and then the two came to Liu Xian to communicate the news.

Liu Xian was slightly surprised after hearing this: "The Wanjia Army actually sent so many people to lurk in. We have already arranged for some people to board the ship. I don't know if they have thoroughly investigated it."

Sun Zhen responded: "We have sent people on the ship to re-check everyone's belongings. If there are any of their accomplices, they should not be able to escape."

Liu Xiandao: "In this way, the Wanjia Army does have some skills. When I led the troops to charge into the battle, I found that they actually formed a coordinated formation of infantry and horse. The cavalry also knew how to seize the opportunity to attack, but the combat level was too low.

It just has its own shape. But I remember the past battles of the Haihan Army fighting abroad, and it seems that I have never encountered bandit armed forces with such capabilities."

"Most of the people I encountered in the past were pirates, so there was no cavalry tactics to speak of. Shandong is a place where thieves are everywhere, and the number of routes is different from that of pirates in the south." Sun Zhen answered Liu Xian's question: "But

This group of people are asking for trouble when they offend us. I think their leader must also be worried about whether he should suffer this bad fate and avoid us, or bite the bullet and continue fighting with us."
