Chapter 236 Wu Qigong's Night Attack on the Taiping Army
In the dead of night, people are quiet, but the foot of the mountain to the north of Yushan Mountain is brightly lit.
Three thousand elites led by Li Xiucheng camped at the foot of the mountain, and Li Xiucheng sent soldiers to various intersections of Yushan to block the roads in and out of Yushan. At the Chinese army's main tent, Li Xiucheng carefully arranged the night defense again
, leaving some soldiers to patrol at night to prevent Wu Qi's army from attacking at night.
All Li Xiucheng has to do now is wait patiently.
Wait for the fish to take the bait!
When Li Xiucheng went to sleep, he did not take off his armor. Instead, he slept in his clothes. There was a sword beside him so that he could stand up and get up at any time. Not only that, Li Xiucheng also ordered the soldiers in the army to sleep in their clothes.
You cannot take off your clothes to sleep. Only in this way can you quickly assemble and respond to emergencies when the camp is attacked.
…
Yushan, in the mountains and forests, rustling footsteps can be heard.
Under the soft and cool moonlight, there were crowds of people.
This team is the defeated remnants of the more than 600 Jiangbei camps led by Wu Qigong. After a day's rest, the more than 600 soldiers have adjusted themselves to fight in the best condition. Wu Qigong led the soldiers from the mountains
After setting off, we gradually approached the foot of the mountain. At the edge of the mountain forest, Wu Qigong and his soldiers lurked down and took a closer look at Li Xiucheng's military camp.
"Hi! His!"
It doesn't matter if you don't look. After Wu Qigong looked at it, he took two breaths of cold air and his heart immediately hung in the air. Looking at the situation in Li Xiucheng's military camp, there were many difficulties, and it was also difficult to lure Li Xiucheng out.
"Sir, Commander-in-Chief, give the order to attack the bandits' camp!"
Just when Wu Qigong was complaining in his heart, the voice of a general came from next to him. Not only was this general not afraid, but he was slightly excited. Because the general only needed to convey Wu Qigong's orders and did not need to charge into the battle. Under the general's command,
In his mind, he thought that he could lure out Li Xiucheng with just a little seduce the bandit, but he didn't understand Wu Qigong's worries.
When Wu Qigong heard this, he shook his head and said, "There's no rush, just wait."
To be cautious, Wu Qigong did not launch an attack.
Time gradually passed, and the moon in the sky had been covered by dark clouds. The night was as thick as ink, and the cold wind was blowing. It was already midnight. The military camp was quiet, with only the chirping of insects around. Taiping Military Camp
The soldiers inside were already asleep, and the soldiers on patrol at night were all absent-minded.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wu Qigong took a deep breath and said: "Give me the order, I will shoot and attack!"
"yes!"
After the general received the order, he immediately passed it on.
Soon, all the soldiers in the army knew about Wu Qigong's order. While these soldiers were afraid, they were also a little bit excited. As long as Li Xiucheng was lured out, they could get out of the current predicament.
Wu Qigong aimed his gun at Jiangbei Camp and pulled the trigger.
"boom!"
The gunfire rang out and bullets shot out, but they were inaccurate bullets.
"kill!!"
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the army.
Immediately, more than 600 soldiers roared like tigers and wolves and rushed out of the forest. They raised their guns and shot at Li Xiucheng's military camp. More than 600 soldiers charged, with roars that shook the sky. Gunfires rang out one after another and flew in random directions.
Bullets streaked across the sky and shot into the Taiping Army camp. A few bullets hit the soldiers guarding the camp and immediately splashed with blood.
"Capture Li Xiucheng alive!"
Wu Qigong raised his breath and roared suddenly, but instead of rushing in front, he encouraged himself from behind.
"Enemy attack!!!"
In the Taiping Army camp, a soldier standing guard suddenly shouted.
His voice sounded loud and clear, and the resounding voice resounded throughout the camp. In an instant, the horn sounded again in the camp. As the horn sounded in the sky, all the soldiers in the camp were immediately awakened. Here,
Before that, the soldiers on night watch had already gathered, and rows of guns were aimed at the charging bandits.
The two sides exchanged fire, and the defensive strength was insufficient.
Under the charge of Wu Qigong's soldiers, the power of the night patrol was retreating steadily.
At the critical moment, Li Xiucheng rushed out of the tent.
Li Xiucheng wore a helmet on his head, a sword hanging from his waist, and a gun in his hand. He fired shots randomly outside the camp. As Li Xiucheng rushed out, the soldiers resting in the camp also rushed out and quickly gathered. Because Li Xiucheng ordered the soldiers
He slept with his clothes on, and when he came out he didn't appear disheveled. Instead, he came out well-trained and neat.
Li Xiucheng laughed loudly and shouted: "Wu Qigong, I had expected that you would rob the camp, and you fell into the trap!" Immediately, Li Xiucheng shouted again: "Soldiers, follow me out and destroy Wu Qigong.
!”
"Kill the clear demon!"
The Taiping soldiers roared loudly, howled and went out with their guns.
As soon as the two sides engaged in battle, Li Xiucheng's three thousand elite soldiers easily regained the advantage. Li Xiucheng's soldiers were all elite, well-equipped, and full of energy. On the other hand, Wu Qigong's more than 600 soldiers had common weapons, and many of them had weapons.
The guns had already been dropped, and they were still holding ordinary steel knives and spears. Not only that, these soldiers' stomachs were not full, and they were mentally exhausted. They were completely at a disadvantage. In such a situation, the only way out was defeat.
Wu Qigong did not really attack the camp. The soldiers could not win, which was exactly in line with Wu Qigong's intention.
"Li Xiucheng is prepared, retreat, retreat quickly!" Wu Qigong roared and decisively ordered to retreat. After Wu Qigong finished shouting, he turned around and ran away, entering the woods in a flash and disappearing. Immediately, six soldiers in the army
All the generals also retreated, and then more than 600 soldiers retreated collectively, never to confront the Taiping Army again.
"Qing Yao is defeated, kill, kill all Qing Dogs!"
"Brothers, the opportunity to make a great contribution has come. Capture Wu Qigong alive and kill all the Qing dogs."
"Kill Wu Qigong and kill all the Qing dogs."
…
A series of loud roars rang out in the night sky, startling countless birds. Li Xiucheng ordered a pursuit, and the soldiers in the army charged in a swarm, venting all the depression during this period. A bearded general ran to Li Xiucheng
Standing next to him, he asked: "General, you want to use Wu Qigong to attract the Qing army. Why do you want to chase Wu Qigong now instead of letting him go?"
"Pig brain!"
Li Xiucheng cursed, but was in a good mood, and explained patiently: "The news that Wu Qigong was trapped in Yushan has spread, and all intersections in Yushan have been blocked. Even if Wu Qigong is wiped out, no one will know
, the Qing army will come to the rescue. Even after Wu Qigong is annihilated, we can also let the soldiers pretend to be Wu Qigong's soldiers, and then use the pretended soldiers to defraud the Qing army. Don't stick to the formality when marching and fighting, but use it flexibly."
"The general is wise!"
The bearded man said in admiration, but then said: "General, what if Wu Qigong deliberately attracts us?"
Li Xiucheng snorted and said: "Wu Qigong doesn't have the courage or the ability. Besides, I am familiar with the terrain of Yushan and will not fall into the trap. Okay, just chase. I have my own plan."
The general received the order and hurried to pursue him.
