Chapter 1014: Powerless Sneak Attack

"Giao Chi people!"

The Qinglong Army sentry was also startled under the bushes, and almost pulled the grenade on his waist.

Once he was discovered by the Jiao Chi people, he would rather take someone with him before he died than be captured.

At the same time, he could also alert the Qinglong Army soldiers down the mountain.

As he was thinking, he suddenly looked up and saw a red fire about two people's height fifty meters away.

There was a sentry on the tree at that location, and it was obvious that the soldier was going to throw a grenade.

Sure enough, a red light flashed and flew about thirty meters from the tree.

"Boom!" With a bang, a ball of fire rose in the woods, and at the same time, several screams of Jiao Chi soldiers were heard.

The quiet forest suddenly became noisy like water in a frying pan.

The birds perched on the trees fluttered and flew around, making bursts of screams.

The Dasong soldiers patrolling with torches immediately blew the whistle, and the "woo woo woo" whistle sound penetrated the darkness and resounded throughout the valley.

The Qinglong soldiers who were sleeping on the mountain road instinctively got up, immediately grabbed the rifles placed beside the quilt, and loaded the bayonets.

At almost the same time, a flare soared into the sky and flew over the forest where the noise was made.

In an instant, the mountains were as bright as day, and the figures of the Jiaozhi soldiers in the forest could not hide.

This sudden change frightened the Jiaozhi soldiers.

They could still accept the explosion of the grenade, but the light above their heads was so strange that they felt unprecedented fear.

But time did not allow them to think slowly.

At this time, the patrolling Qinglong soldiers and secret sentries launched the attack first.

They aimed at the Qinglong Army and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang..." There was a burst of gunfire in the woods, accompanied by the explosion of grenades.

The Qinglong soldiers in the mountain road all slept in their clothes and could fight when they woke up.

They also entered the forest under the leadership of the general.

"General, you are wise. The Jiaozhi people really came to attack."

When the explosion sounded, Shangyi came to Qin Shan.

Qin Shan frowned slightly. In the evening, the scouts searched the entire forest and found nothing.

He was very curious about how these Jiaozhi soldiers hid in the mountain.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that the King of Yan, who was far away in Yancheng, was unfathomable.

The reminder in the telegram was not aimless.

"No wonder the armies that conquered Jiaozhi in all dynasties were defeated in Zhiling County. That's why." Qin Shan sighed.

There will be no detailed battle process in the history books, only a few records, such as "In a certain year, conquered Jiaozhi, and was defeated in a certain place".

It is estimated that the generals at that time also lost inexplicably.

The consequences of being attacked by the ambushes on the mountain in such a narrow mountain road are really unimaginable.

If he was not leading the Qinglong Army at this moment, but the old-style Dasong Army, even if he was not defeated, he would suffer heavy losses and could only withdraw to Zhennan Pass and no longer be able to go south.

Unfortunately, the Jiaozhi people did not realize that the current Qinglong Army, including the entire Dasong Army, was no longer the same.

Their sneak attack tricks would never succeed again.

Under the light of the flares, the Jiaozhi soldiers who attacked would only be sitting ducks.

"Bang, bang, bang..." As he was thinking, the sound of gunfire in the forest became more and more intense.

In order to ensure the vision in the forest, one flare after another was fired into the air.

The Jiaozhi soldiers only carried cold weapons.

They would have an absolute advantage in the dark.

But now, his long sword could not play any role.

Facing the shooting of the Qinglong soldiers, they were shot before they got close.

Even if they rushed to the front of the Qinglong soldiers, they would only suffer in the face of bayonets.

After all, rifles plus bayonets are longer than long swords, and every inch longer is stronger.

The bayonet skills of the Qinglong Army were very refined, and the Jiaozhi soldiers were killed one after another.

The whole battle was like a one-sided massacre.

In less than half an hour, only more than a thousand of the eight thousand Jiaozhi soldiers were left.

These Jiaozhi soldiers dared not resist anymore, climbed over the ridge, and rushed into the deep mountains and old forests without caring about their lives.

The Qinglong Army soldiers chased for a while, shot and killed more than three hundred people, and then returned to the mountain road.

The generals returned one after another to report the battle situation to Qin Shan.

"General, most of the Jiaozhi soldiers who attacked were annihilated, and a few fled." Mu An saluted Qin Shan.

He was another Zhenwu general under Qin Shan and Shang Yi.

"It's a pity that my soldiers didn't have time to take action." Shang Yi heard this and sneered.

Among the three Zhenwu generals of the Qinglong Army, Guo Yong was in charge of the vanguard, Mu An was in charge of the central army, and he was in charge of the rear army.

The Jiaozhi people launched an attack on the central army and fell into Mu An's hands.

"What a pity, aren't you more keen on flattering than fighting?" Mu An laughed.

Shang Yi pointed at Mu An and said to Qin Shan, "General, Mu An is such a traitor that he said I was a flatterer. He was calling you a horse."

Qin Shan pulled a long face and said, "You two should be quiet, otherwise you will all go back to feed the pigs!"

The two of them were shocked and shut up immediately.

Qin Shan was silent for a while, "Why don't you find the rat hole for me? They can't just appear in the forest out of thin air."

"Yes." The two of them said yes and immediately ordered their generals to go up the mountain with torches.

Soon, the mountain was full of soldiers holding torches, and Qin Shan showed a satisfied look.

Looking towards the direction of Zhiling County, a sneer appeared on his lips.

This time, the Qinglong Army was going to give the Jiaozhi people an unforgettable memory in the southward war.

Back then, they faced the Franks and chose to surrender because they were afraid of their muskets and artillery.

Today, he will make them ten times more afraid than they were then.

Let them feel completely powerless in the war.

In this way, this battle can completely break the will of the Jiaozhi people to resist Dasong.

Counterattack this sneak attack, killing these sneak attacking soldiers like killing chickens is just the beginning.

"Boom!" He was thinking, and suddenly heard a muffled sound, which seemed to come from the top of the mountain.

After a while, Mu An came back, "General, we found the Jiaozhi people's cave, but they immediately ignited the gunpowder barrels inside, and the cave was destroyed."

Qin Shan nodded, "That's enough, we can't use it, and they don't want to use it again. Let the soldiers rest and attack Zhiling County tomorrow."

Mu An left after saying yes.

But just in case, he still left the sentries in the forest.

The next day.

The sun rising in the east lit up the valley.

After dinner, the artillerymen began to place their artillery in the selected artillery positions.

When everything was ready, the howitzers roared and hurled shells at the top of the city wall of Zhiling County.

At the same time, a team of scouts moved along the mountains and forests towards Zhiling County, observing the destruction of the enemy's artillery through telescopes.

This time they went south, they brought plenty of ammunition.

Enough for the Jiaozhi army to enjoy.
