Chapter 185 Defeat the Han Army
"Yang Guangyi, you bring people to prepare a trench machine and transport it to the left and right of the Han army, place it in place, and prepare some stones."
"yes!"
"Wang Shenqi, you will lead people to bury some explosive packs two miles south of the Han army. If the Han army takes the initiative to attack, give them some surprises!"
"Get orders!"
"Wang Zhengzhong, you lead people to guard the left wing of the Han army, responsible for cutting the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to eliminate it!
Zhao Kuangyin, you lead people to guard the right wing of the Han army, responsible for cutting the enemy and waiting for an opportunity to eliminate it!
When the war began, Yang Guangyi and Wang Zhengzhong met and echoed each other, and Wang Shenqi and Zhao Kuangyin met.
No one has 1,500 people, and I will lead the 1,000 people to directly attack the Han army formation. Whether this battle can be successful depends on the power of the explosive pack!"
"yes!"
Guo Hao made arrangements and Li Yun had already sent people. Since it was not a siege, the more than a thousand prisoners could not be used, otherwise it would be no fun to attack the Zhou army in turn.
In early summer, a breeze blew by at night, and the Han army camp was silent, but there was movement across the opposite side.
"Report—There is something happening in the Zhou army, and it is suspected that it will attack our army!"
Liu Chengjun was reading a book in the big tent at this time. When he heard the news, he put down the book in his hand and immediately ordered: "Gather troops immediately to prevent the Zhou army from attacking!"
The Han army was moving very quickly. Because many torches were lit, the already bright Han army camp became brighter, but the Zhou army was dark.
The brightness on both sides made Guo Hao see clearly that the Han army had gathered together, so he gave the first order, and a firework flew into the sky.
Whoosh, bang!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
The stones fell into the Han military camp one after another, but unfortunately they were both good at mastering their strength, either entering or falling far away, and did not cause any harm to the Han army.
Some Han soldiers laughed: "Catting? We are not in the city, and we can run away. How could stones kill so many of us!"
After a brief panic, the Han army quickly calmed down. Yang Gun was also disdainful in the army, asking his subordinates to be careful of stones, and at the same time observing the situation of the Zhou army.
The night gave the Han army temporary cover. The Han army did not know the enemy's weakness and did not dare to advance rashly for a while.
"Come on, go and explore the situation. The Han army will not just throw a few stones when attacking at this time!"
Liu Chengjun ordered to go and investigate, but he really hit it. Guo Hao really threw only a few stones and then ordered to retreat.
There was no movement on the opposite side. The scout only saw the backs of two catapults retreating. He did not dare to continue moving forward in the darkness, so he went back to report to Liu Chengjun.
"Guo Hao is not our opponent during the day, so he wants to lure us out at night, but I won't be fooled. If he wants to ambush us in secret, I won't give him a chance!"
Liu Chengjun was a little proud, as if he had seen through Guo Hao's conspiracy, and Guo Hao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Han army did not catch up with him.
The next day, during the day, the two armies were still confronting each other. Guo Hao guarded Taigu and did not send troops, and Liu Chengjun did not let anyone attack the city, just stopped them.
In the next few days, Guo Hao sent people to harass him from time to time. Every time he made people deliberately miss it, and the stones were getting smaller, as if they were teasing the Han army.
Although Liu Chengjun has a gentle personality and likes to study, he is not a fool, so he is not fooled at all. However, Yang Gun is determined to send troops, but Liu Chengjun persuades him to stop.
"General Yang, Guo Hao is huddled in Taigu City during the day. We cannot attack the city, nor can we attack the city, otherwise we will be just right.
At night, Guo Hao obviously wanted to anger us, and then took the opportunity to ambush us to consume our strength.
So we can't be fooled. He is more anxious than us now. Murong Yanchao and Nan Tang have already opposed Zhou. As long as we persist for a few more days, Guo Hao might withdraw his troops!"
Liu Chengjun was in a good mood and told Yang Gun not to worry. Yang Gun was here to help, and thought to himself that you didn't have to worry, so why should I worry?
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. Guo Hao tried it repeatedly several times and was sure that Liu Chengjun would not chase him out. He was planning to come true this day!
It was another clear night. Guo Hao mobilized everyone as planned. After the catapult was in place, the explosive pack was ignited and threw it into the Han army camp.
When the Zhou army was discovered to be moving, the Han army was too lazy to move. A pack of explosives fell into the military camp. After a huge explosion, countless stones popped out at high speed, and the flames ignited the camp.
"What happened!"
Liu Chengjun was shocked and woken up in his sleep. His place was safe. When he came out, he saw a fire on the military camp and there were sporadic screams.
Guo Hao in the distance found that the Han army was awakened. The Han army walked out of the camp one after another. At this moment, two more explosive packs fell, and the flames mixed with high-speed stones were ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Han army!
"It's the thunder, this is the thunder!"
Some Han troops did not recognize firearms and regarded the explosion as thunder. The more people gathered, Liu Chengjun and Yang Gun didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly distanced themselves from their own people.
What Guo Hao wants is this effect. The harassment before was not just harassment, but also practice. Now they can throw it accurately. Although there are some errors, it doesn’t matter.
Seeing that the Han army was getting together, one by one, one explosive pack fell down, and the Han army was blown up by the bombing, with heavy casualties.
Only then did Yang Gun realize that this was a firearm and they could not gather together, so he shouted: "Disast quickly! Disast quickly!"
But it was too late. More than a dozen explosive packs fell, and many Han soldiers were injured, and the camp tents were fired. Some Han soldiers were ignited by the fire and some were casualties.
The Han army's camp was in chaos, and countless people fled in scattered areas. At this time, they were already frightened birds. When they saw things falling from the sky, they scattered, even if they were just stones.
Thinking that the time was ripe, Guo Hao issued an order to attack, and the three armies rushed towards the Han army. It was not until the Han army approached that the enemy was really coming!
It was blown to death, it was scared to death, it was burned to death, it was trampled to death, it was run away...
The Han army was defeated, like a mob, and was directly dispersed and strangled by the Zhou army, without any resistance. The Zhou army easily defeated the other side.
Only Yang Gun's Khitan soldiers still have some combat effectiveness. At this time, Guo Hao was fighting against a young general, and it was the Liao general Yang Gun!
Yang Gun held a big knife in his hand and fought against Guo Hao's iron spear. After several rounds, both sides were secretly shocked.
"You are a Han, why are you dressed in Khitan?"
"I am a Liao general, so I am naturally a Liao person, so why are I Han people!"
Guo Hao shook his head, feeling a little regretful: "It's really not easy for you to surrender to me, I won't treat you badly!"
"dream!"
After a disagreement, the two of them were about to fight again. At this time, a sharp whistle was heard. Yang Gun turned around and saw that the Han army was completely defeated and they were about to be surrounded by the Zhou army.
"I'll spare you today, and I'll take the head of your neck in the future!"
After saying that, Yang Gun pulled back, but Guo Hao did not pursue him. He commanded the Zhou army to clean up the battlefield. In less than an hour, the Han army was wiped out. Eight thousand Han army killed two thousand, captured one thousand, hundreds of prisoners, and hundreds of them were killed. Many of them were burned and trampled to death. The rest fled.
"It's so satisfying!"
Zhao Kuangyin came to Guo Hao, and Guo Hao asked, "How are the casualties? Thanks to the big brother's bombing...spells, we only lost a few hundred people. The Han army was completely confused and had no resistance at all."
Guo Hao nodded when he heard this. The result was acceptable. There were only five left in more than 20 explosive packs. I don’t know if it could break through the city gate of Jinyang.
The reason why this battle was so smooth was mainly because the Han army had never seen explosives before, and they were frightened by the explosives bags. They paniced, which allowed the Zhou army to take advantage.
Liu Chengjun led hundreds of people to flee north. The huge roar made him feel scared now. The explosion in the south of Taiyuan could be heard in both counties around him. Liu Chong, who was far away in the Jinyang Palace, suddenly woke up from his sleep.
"What happened? Did it thunder!"
"Your Majesty, nothing is wrong, it should be raining."
The eunuch comforted Liu Chong, but in fact he didn't know what was going on. Liu Chong walked out of the palace gate and found that there were stars outside, and there was a dark cloud.
"No, it must be something happened there!"
It turns out that he was afraid of anything. Two hours later, news came from outside the palace that Liu Chengjun's 10,000 troops were wiped out. Zhou's army defeated the Han army and had already come to Jinyang!
Hearing this news, Liu Chong's body tilted and fainted. Guo Hao had already made a decision. He asked Li Yun to send a group of troops to suppress three thousand prisoners to Jinyang.
