More than 3,000 Ming troops came out of the pass. Li Zicheng suddenly became more confident. Outside Ningwu Pass, he defeated the two or three thousand Ming troops who left the city and captured the city. The people who left the city this time were infantry. He should be more confident.
Bigger.
"Mr. Xin, if you lead five or six thousand cavalry and charge into a few formations, I estimate that the group of Ming troops who came out of the pass will be almost dispersed." Li Zicheng didn't think the three thousand people who came out were any trouble. At most, they were nothing.
It can be solved in a day or two. If it weren't for the heavy artillery in the city that prevented the army from gathering, and directly sent 100,000 people over, the people leaving the city could be defeated in one go.
After Li Yan received Li Zicheng's military order, he arranged for his brothers to lead the men into the battle. During the camp, Li Yan's troops were mainly infantry, and there were only six or seven thousand serious soldiers who could ride into the battle.
Li Zicheng asked Li Yan to arrange six or seven thousand men to charge into the formation. It was calculated! After proclaiming himself emperor, he became more and more concerned about gains and losses. He was even more vigilant against Li Yan's troops who did not belong to the old rebel system. Mainly
It’s the Central Plains group, dominated by Li Yan, and there are a bit too many people!
More than 6,000 cavalrymen of the invading army rushed straight towards Mayou Liang's camp from the left and right wings. As a result, before they could reach the main formation, they were blown up by grenades thrown at them from the sky. The soldiers from the old camp emerged from the invading camp.
Except for the cavalry, the other cavalry units were mediocre, especially the war horses. They were frightened by the sound of grenades and would run around on the battlefield, unable to complete an effective attack at all.
The first wave of charges was blown away, and Li Yan was horrified to see that this battle could not be fought! Li Yan quickly went to Li Zicheng to report the situation and asked him to think of other ways to deal with the difficult problems that arose.
"Your Majesty, the Ming army's fire and thunder have made it impossible for our horses to get close to the enemy camp. My cavalry has no effect. We have to find another way."
While listening to Li Yan's report, Li Zicheng was thinking about other plans. He was on the outside of the battlefield and had a good view of the battle situation. The battle situation was indeed as Li Yan said. The Ming army had too many grenades and there was no good way.
People can't get close at all.
"Master Li, do you have any good way to defeat the enemy?"
"Your Majesty, I feel that to open up the situation now, it is best to gather tens of thousands of troops and use night attacks to annihilate the Ming army that has left the city. As long as this Ming army is annihilated, Guancheng will be broken in a day."
Night attack is the best way that Li Yan can think of, but there are many night blindness in the rebel army. The soldiers and horses who can participate in the night attack are tens of thousands of people in Li Zicheng's old camp, and others cannot count on it. Li Yan made this suggestion because
In order to allow Li Zicheng to use his elite troops, he quickly dealt with the Ming army outside the city. Judging from the first wave of cavalry attack arranged today, the Ming army's combat power out of the city is extraordinary. Relying on the Central Plains soldiers may not be enough.
I can chew this hard bone.
"A night attack is a good idea. I think this strategy is feasible!"
After leaving the border, there was only a wave of cavalry charges, and the war entered a stalemate. Looking at the dense formation of intruders in the distance, Mayuriang even felt an impulse in his heart! If he had more than 10,000 in his hands,
He felt that by killing them directly, he seemed to be able to defeat these rebels.
Since joining the army, Mayouliang has never faced the rebel army. After today's battle, he felt that the combat power of this group of rebel troops was really too weak and could not be compared with the Qing army that they had fought against before.
"The mission given to us by the commander-in-chief is to provide a barrier for the army outside the pass to prevent their night attacks. Now it seems that the intruders are really determined to attack our army at night. You must be prepared for night battles and cannot let them
They succeeded. Right now, the most troublesome thing is that during the night battle, the heavy artillery in the city cannot function. Do you have any good ideas?" After suppressing the urge to rush into the battle, Mayu Liang convened several regiment commanders to hold a military meeting.
Study how to deal with tonight's night battle.
The intruders only made one charge and then died out. Mayu Liang figured out what they were going to do next. According to the current situation, there was really no other good way to think of without launching a night attack on the intruders.
"Deputy division commander, you can actually use heavy artillery in night battles!" Fang Ruocheng, commander of the artillery company of the first division and first brigade, expressed his thoughts. After Fang Ruocheng entered the general school, he was assigned to the artillery department because he was not very good at riding. Last year
In winter, when the new army came out of the customs, he followed the heavy artillery team led by Song Yingxing to fight out of the customs. Because of his high artillery skills, he destroyed several Qing heavy artillery pieces in the artillery battle with Kong Youde's troops, so he was promoted to artillery company commander.
He was assigned to serve in Mayu Liang's brigade.
When he arrived at the artillery company of the brigade, Fang Ruocheng felt that it was a little difficult for him to perform his role. There were all tiger cannons and Franco machine guns. Their main job was to cooperate with the infantry and had no other use. They could not play a role in the war at all.
This made Fang Ruocheng, who had always wanted to restore the glory of the Fang family's generals, very disappointed.
"Can heavy artillery be used in night battles? Captain Fang, please tell me specifically what we should do." When Ma Youliang heard that heavy artillery could also be used in night battles, he quickly asked Fang Ruocheng for specific methods. Although he was not familiar with the combat power of the Chuang Army.
Some of them looked down upon it, but with more than 3,000 people facing tens of thousands, and possibly even 100,000 enemy troops charging into the formation, they still felt a little uneasy. If heavy artillery could be used, the large-scale gathering of invading troops could be dispersed and suppressed.
, he can master this battle.

"Deputy division commander, it is difficult to use heavy artillery in night battles, mainly because it is difficult for artillery to determine the distance of the enemy at night. As long as we accurately report the distance and location of the large enemy camp to the heavy artillery team in the city, the heavy artillery in the city will
It can disperse the enemy troops." It is impossible for the opponent to fight at night without using torches. Through the number of torches, the heavy artillery team in the city can actually determine where a large group of enemy troops have gathered. The difficulty is that there is no reference object at night, and it is difficult to pass through the target.
Use visual and simple observations to determine the specific distance of the enemy formation, so that heavy artillery will be useless.
"How to report the distance accurately? It's difficult for us to measure the distance of the enemy here!"
"I will lead a team of observers and take advantage of the darkness of night to hide on the road where the intruders must pass. I will determine the distance in advance. When the intruder group passes, I will set off fireworks into the city and report the distance to the heavy artillery team."
"This! Captain Fang, are you taking a little too much risk? As soon as you set off the fireworks, the intruders will find you, and then you will be trapped in the enemy's lines." After hearing Fang Ruocheng's thoughts, Ma Youliang immediately
I thought about the shortcomings of this plan. This way of leading the way by firing at me is simply killing the enemy.
"It is a bit risky, but it may not be too dangerous if done properly. I saw the situation of the intruders today. They were quite chaotic when they attacked the formation. We pretended to be intruders and gave out the signal, then sneaked into their team.
It will be difficult for them to tell the difference after a while."
