Chapter 256 Battle in the East, 3
The atmosphere of the confrontation is always tense, and no one dares to relax in the slightest. Yan Zhengqing looked serious, always paying attention to the defense situation.
Yuan Zhong and Yuan Yong expected that Nanyang County would send reinforcements. Yan Zhengqing naturally also expected this situation and was waiting for reinforcements from Nanyang County.
As time passed, the two sides attacked across the river, but each suffered casualties; especially the Yuan family suffered a lot of casualties. After all, Anyang has artillery.
While waiting, a soldier suddenly came holding an arrow, and a letter was inserted above the arrow, which was a message from the aircraft in the sky. An aircraft flying high at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters is the best detection method.
The content of the letter is very simple: Nanyang County reinforcements were found in the southwest, estimated to be in the number of 100,000, stretching for ten miles, and traveling at a speed of about 12 to 15 kilometers per hour. Now the Nanyang County reinforcements are between Longshan Town and Sanshan Town.
Yan Zhengqing scanned the map with his eyes, "Longshan Town and Sanshan Town are just in the transition zone from the hills to the seaside plain. This is a good place to ambush.
Military warfare pays attention to "surprise the unprepared and attack the unprepared". Shen Jianfei, you lead five thousand foundation-building elites across the Xiandai River immediately, and go to Sanshan Town to ambush the reinforcements from Nanyang County.
Note that harassment is the main focus, and killing the enemy is the supplement, just try to delay the enemy's footsteps as much as possible.
In addition, you don't need to go back next, just hide behind the enemy lines and wait for an excellent opportunity to make a move. How to attack, you judge for yourself. "
"Yes!" Shen Jianfei took the order and left. The 300-mile-long river bank is full of loopholes. Although Dongyuan County and Yuan Jinjiang thought that Anyang would send troops to stop them, they could not accurately grasp the specific situation, and their wisdom was not as good as that of Yan Zhengqing; Stepping out of the river, he touched the front, and the speed was very fast.
After only advancing for two hours, in the low hills outside Sanshan Town, they found the Nanyang County reinforcements winding forward.
Shen Jianfei gave a weird laugh, licked his slightly dry lips, and a ferocious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Five thousand people, break up into pieces, and fight separately. Shoot if you have the opportunity, and change places with one shot; if you don't have the opportunity Just hang on. Remember, killing the enemy is secondary, disturbing the enemy is the first.
Sometimes, it is also possible to let go of the gun; it is better to deliberately miss and injure but not kill, it will create fear and confusion, and the wounded need to be taken care of, which will slow down the speed of the team. "
As one of the earliest musketeers in Anyang, Shen Jianfei has his own views on combat. Injure but not kill, the wounded are a source of "continuous spread of fear".
Five thousand elite groups of three or five spontaneously formed small guerrillas in the hills where they disappeared. Large troops are easy to spot, but scattered foundation-building masters are hard to spot.
Nangong Zhi, the commander-in-chief of Nanyang County, led an army of 100,000 to advance rapidly; while advancing, there was an unshakable worry on his brow: "We must keep Dongyuan County. Once Dongyuan County is lost, the Li family will be the only one." .It’s just that I don’t know what’s going on in the north?”
Because of the news blockade, Nan Gongzhi still doesn't know that Li Yulong has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
While leading the team forward, Nangong Zhi suddenly felt a flash of murderous intent.
"No, Anyang set up an ambush!" Nangong Zhi immediately thought of the problem, but it was too late.
The sound of beans popping suddenly came from all around, and two or three thousand people in the army of Nanyang County immediately fell down; Practitioners are powerful after all, and long-range attacks are difficult to kill, but what Shen Jianfei wants is precisely this effect.
The attacks came and went quickly, and there was only one wave of attacks, and they retreated immediately after one wave. Nangong Zhi sent people to investigate around, but found nothing.
However, when the army of Nanyang County wanted to move forward, the scouts and peripheral personnel all around became new targets one after another, and people died continuously. After doing this twice, no one in the army of Nanyang County dared to be a scout.
But Nangong Zhi was Nangong Zhi, so he immediately made an arrangement. First, some of the general's Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage experts were sent around to search for traces of the enemy. After all, Jin Danqi was a master, causing many casualties to Anyang.
Secondly, Nangong Zhi divided the army into three groups, and the three groups took care of each other, making it more and more difficult for Shen Jianfei to succeed. In the end, he couldn't stop Nangong Zhi's progress. Even Nangong Zhi used death and fear to increase the speed of the soldiers in Nanyang County by as much as half!
Shen Jianfei was immediately dumbfounded—a famous general is a famous general, and it really is beyond what ordinary people can guess. The mission failed, and Shen Jianfei simply retreated with the remaining 4,700 elites; we will hide in the dark and play slowly.
In just an hour or so of entanglement, Anyang paid the price of 300 elites in the foundation-building period; but in Nanyang County, more than 3,000 people were injured and more than 2,000 people died.
However, strategically, Shen Jianfei failed in the end.
In the army of Nanyang County, Nangong Zhi looked at the ten guns spread out in front of him, but his face was very solemn. "This is a gun that Anyang has never sold before? It's such an exquisite design and exquisite craftsmanship. The ten guns are exactly the same, the parts are interchangeable, and the bullets are completely common."
Nangong Zhi personally disassembled the gun, reassembled it, and then shot at a shield of intermediate magic weapon level.
boom! With a bang, the shield in front was directly pierced.
Feeling the shock from his hands and looking at the pierced shield, Nangong Zhi's face became more serious, "It doesn't take much physical strength, let alone real energy, to launch an attack equivalent to the peak of the Qi refining period. God What a skill!"
Nangong Zhi carefully opened another bullet, and when he saw the yellow powder inside, he was suddenly a little dazed, and then his face became serious again: "It's not gunpowder? Well, what a Anyang, there are so many hidden things!"
A soldier next to him carefully asked: "Marshal, this thing is not very complicated, can we produce it ourselves? And such a simple thing, why did Anyang keep it secret and not sell it?"
Nangong Zhi glanced at the soldiers, and slowly spit out four words: "The true nature of a profiteer!"
The soldiers are puzzled, of course they don't understand, but they dare not ask. Nangong Zhi didn't explain either, because these things cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
On the way to the Xiandai River, the army of Nanyang County was never attacked again, but the atmosphere was very dull. In the previous battle, more than 200,000 troops were killed or surrendered and captured, which dealt a great blow to the remaining soldiers in Nanyang County. This time they were ambushed again, and a seed of "fear" had begun to germinate.
Nangong Zhi understands these situations, but now he must move forward, at least to keep Dongyuan County!
Across the Xiandai River, the coalition forces of Nanyang County and Dongyuan County, with 200,000 troops after joining forces, were ready to join forces to break through the obstruction of the Xiandai River immediately.
