Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Just after setting up the camp, Tong Guan carefully ordered the general to strengthen his defenses so as not to be attacked by Liangshan at night.Everything was fine in the first half of the night, but it was only after the fourth watch. The tired soldiers who had been marching for many days fell asleep soundly, and the artillery from Liangshan began to bombard the camp that the court had set up.

The bombs fired for about a quarter of an hour. Although not many entered the camp of the Chinese army, it stirred up the whole camp like a boiling pot, the horses neighed, and the soldiers ran away in panic. It was almost more noisy than bombing the camp. .Tong was so angry that he put on his armor and helmet, and immediately organized a team to keep all the bandits who attacked the camp.General Youbi came in to report that it turned out that Liangshan only fired shells from a long distance, and no one came to attack the camp.

It was noisy for almost half an hour, and the barracks became quiet.Into the darkest hour before dawn.In the dark military camp in the wilderness, there are only dots of lanterns swaying in the wind, delineating row upon row of military camps.

Gongsun Sheng wrapped his cloak tightly around his body and turned to ask Hu Sanniang.

"General, do you want to do it again now?"

Hu Sanniang nodded, adjusted the inclination angle of the cannon barrel by herself, and then tried to install a cannonball.It was a special artillery shell with an indicator, and it roared and landed on the opposite barracks, exploding a ball of dazzling flames.

"The gun barrel is at an elevation angle of thirty degrees, and five shells are fired freely."

Hu Sanniang's voice seemed to ring in the ears of every artilleryman, and several nearby boats fired one after another, and the five shells were fired in just a cup of tea.Just look at the silent military camp on the opposite side, there were explosions again and again, and then there was chaos of wailing and howling figures.

"Withdrawal, everyone can go back and rest for a day."

"Yes."

Li Jun sent an order, and the boats slowly headed for the water village.

The next day, Tong Guan had just eaten a few mouthfuls of porridge when Jin Wei came in to see that he was having breakfast and then left.Knowing that it was General Pi who had counted last night's losses, he dropped his chopsticks in frustration and called General Guards to invite them in.

Napi came in tremblingly and reported to Tong Guan the number of casualties last night.

"Marshal, three people were killed last night, 11 people were seriously injured, and more than 200 people were slightly injured."

Tong Guan gritted his teeth angrily, and set up camp two miles away from the water's edge. He set up enough barriers to repel horses in front of the camp, but the bandits from Liangshan actually attacked the camp with artillery.

Sure enough, they are no longer ordinary bandits, and have developed into a serious problem for the imperial court.Such a scale cannot be formed in a year or two. It is time for the prefect of Jeju to give an explanation to the court.

"Compensate the family members of the casualties as usual, and ask the military doctors for the other wounded." Tong Guan ordered, and the generals responded one by one, and then asked him.

"Commander, do you want to move the camp back tonight? Three miles away, the bandit's artillery may not be able to hit the barracks in the water."

This suggestion should be very practical, but Tong Guan thought that he would lead a large army and had to move the camp back after only one night, which would inevitably cause panic in the barracks.He shook his head to express his refusal, and ordered General Pi to deal with the wounded first.

At dawn, the soldiers of the Liangshan camps were still led by the generals for morning exercises, but Hu Sanniang and Gongsun Sheng did not participate.And Hu Sanniang led people to attack Tong Guan's barracks last night, and by noon, the news spread throughout Liangshan.This method of attacking the imperial army on a warship without harming a single soldier made all the soldiers amazed.

Dai Zong was the busiest person this day.He took the clairvoyance that Hu Sanniang specially made for him, and ran back and forth along the edge of the court water, staring at the rolling camp that surrounded most of Liangshan Po.It wasn't until the sun set and the night fell that there was still no sign of the imperial camp moving back, so I ran back to the Juyi Hall to report the news.

Gongsun Sheng slept for most of the day when he returned to the mountain in the early morning, and came to the Juyi Hall full of energy after dinner to stand by.

"General, I will go with the navy general Zhang Shun and lead the army tonight."

Hu Sanniang nodded, "Okay, use the No. [-] shell with extra fuel tonight. Pay attention to safety, and watch out for bows/crossbowmen ambushing by the waterfront."

Da Song's pedals/crossbows are powerful and can shoot hundreds of steps away.When shot on the city wall, it can be used as a ladder for siege.In case a soldier is shot, the realistic medical conditions are likely to abolish an artilleryman who has been cultivated with great difficulty.

Gongsun Sheng agreed, and took people to prepare not to mention it.

In the days that followed, Tong Guan's camp was invaded by Liang Shanpo every night.Ten days later, he had to retreat a few miles across the board.But the distance of these few miles left room for the Liangshan Majun to maneuver.

Hu Sanniang pointed at the three connected camps, and said to Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo: "We are bombarding these three connected camps tonight, and you two will each lead an army of [-] horsemen to wade through the middle one. The camps on both sides come back. The naval ships must be ready to respond."

Li Jun stood up and said: "General, if you want to send two thousand cavalry, all the naval ships will be mobilized."

Hu Sanniang nodded, "Li Jun, your navy generals must cooperate well tonight, and reserve enough defensive manpower."

Gongsun Sheng was a little uncertain. The two thousand horse army passed by in the middle of the night, what if they were ambushed.He asked Hu Sanniang, "Is the general going tonight too?"

Hu Sanniang nodded, "Tonight I will be at the artillery camp first, and I will bring more shells of the three types. The artillery will not go up to the upper boat, and another boat will be arranged to separate it from the horse army, so as to avoid confusion at night."

Qin Ming looked at the three camps picked by Hu Sanniang, the corners of his mouth twitched.These three camps are really unlucky these days, and have been picked and shelled more than three times in total.If the cavalry storms the camp again tonight, it may collapse.After Hu Sanniang arranged everything for tonight, Qin Ming stepped forward and pointed to the sand table to ask Hu Sanniang.

"General, if the soldiers in these three camps are defeated tonight, will the Ma Jun choose these camps next time?"

"It depends on the result of tonight's battle. If it is feasible, next time you will lead the horse army from Zuozhai to attack the camp."

Qin Ming was very happy, and at night he brought two personal guards and accompanied Hua Rong to board the upstairs ship.He looked at the teams of cavalry, pulling the horses to the boat, and whispered to Huarong what to pay attention to when kicking the battalion.

Huarong knew that Qin Ming was worried about him, so he listened carefully to Qin Ming's instructions, and when the boat approached the shore, Qin Ming shut up worriedly.

The moonlight was better this night. Although it made it easier for the artillery to aim at the target, it also made it more difficult for the horse army to attack the camp.

Hu Sanniang looked at the shadows under the moonlight on the bank with her clairvoyant eyes, feeling inexplicably uneasy in her heart, she told Ruan Xiaoqi not to rush to the shore.He turned his head and pointed to Gongsun Sheng the shadow in front of him.

"Mr. Gongsun, let someone set up a cannon first, and use No. [-] shells to shoot at those shadows a few times. Why do I feel that it was not like this a few days ago?"

Gongsun Sheng listened to the order and asked the soldiers to carry it out.After Tong Guan pushed the camp back a few miles, the artillery harassment at night had to be carried out more than three miles offshore.Not only did the shelling have to change to a different place every time, but it was irregular, and only he knew the specific location, because he was afraid that the court would have an ambush on the shore.

When Hu Sanniang said this, Gongsun Sheng felt uneasy.After seeing the shadow with clairvoyance, he adjusted the cannon himself, aimed at the position Hu Sanniang was pointing at, and fired two cannons in a row. Sure enough, in the shadow, people turned their backs on their backs and ghosts cried and wolves howled.

Qin Ming saw that the cannonball suddenly exploded ahead of time not far from the shore, he immediately held his clairvoyance and carefully looked at the ambush army poked by the cannon, feeling horrified.He turned his head and said to Hua Rong: "There are more than [-] men in the ambush army, and they should be targeting Mr. Gongsun."

Hua Rong was taken aback. He followed Gongsun Sheng to watch the harassment at night several times.Gongsun Sheng's artillery team generally only has about a hundred people.If you encounter such an ambush army, the entire army will definitely be wiped out, and you will have to pay for the first-class artillery that Hu Sanniang spent a lot of money on.

The building boat stopped, and the small boat carrying the artillery began to shoot at the ambush army on the bank. Within a quarter of an hour, the ambush army was defeated and fled to the bank, and there was no sign of running on the shore, and the silence returned.

"General, what is your plan for tonight?" Gongsun Sheng hesitated.

"Continue. The imperial court thought that we were ambushed and would not go to bombard the barracks again, let alone guess that we would send horse troops to attack the camp."

"However, if the ambush army is defeated and goes back, the central army tent will not go to sleep immediately."

"After the shelling for a while, if you see that the lights are on first without being shelled, you can shoot a few more shots there, which will inevitably cause chaos in the Chinese army. Naturally, you can't take care of it, and you can't organize an effective attack on the horse army. counterattacked."

Gongsun Sheng saw that Hu Sanniang's insistence was reasonable, so he stopped asking questions.Anyway, the ambush army on the shore has been chased away by artillery, and there are two thousand horse troops accompanying them tonight, which can be regarded as the first reliable action in recent days.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Tong Guan watched the general who led the ambush retreat back with wounds, so he had no choice but to comfort him and go to bandage him, secretly hating the cunning of the bandits in Liangshanbo.

In the past month, they have been bombarded by bandits every now and then, making a hundred thousand soldiers panic.Every time he waited for the people he sent to rush over, it would always end in vain. Occasionally seeing the bandits already boarded the boat, they were considered quick.The ambush like tonight has been going on for many days. Not only did the bandit's artillery not ambush, but the ambush army was discovered, which was another loss.

He was full of worries and didn't know how to write the battle report.Before that, I wrote three letters to Gao Qiu, suggesting to send someone to build a ship here in Shuibo, otherwise the bandits would not be reachable through the waterbore, and the plan to besiege the bandits would be difficult to achieve results under the harassment of artillery.

At the third watch, Tong Guancai lay down full of thoughts, when he heard the roar of artillery in the distance, he jumped up immediately in anger, and ordered the personal guards to reorganize the army, and he put on his armor and wanted to lead the team himself.

The big tents of the Chinese army were lit up, especially in the contiguous tents that had not been bombarded.

Hu Sanniang said to Gongsun Sheng: "Look, that's the big tent of the Chinese army, turn the muzzle and fire in that direction later."

"Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo, go and come back quickly, don't delay, lest you get caught in the entanglement of reinforcements."

Both Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo knew how powerful they were, and immediately took orders to lead Ma Jun forward.

Hu Sanniang watched Huarong and Huyan Zhuomata's joint camp cause riots, and immediately ordered Gongsun Sheng to fire in the direction of the Chinese army's tent.It happened that Tong Guan had just finished dressing up, and his personal guards were also gathering.A shell roared and accurately hit Tong Guan's central army tent, igniting a raging fire, and Tong Guan immediately turned pale in fright. If he didn't come out, wouldn't he be killed or seriously injured?

He didn't care about the things in the big tent, and hurriedly ordered someone to build a fire escape, so as not to cause the surrounding military tents to catch fire.Before he could make arrangements, a few more shells roared in again. At the same time, the camp farthest from the Chinese army heard noise after the shelling. The noise was different from the scene after the shelling a few days ago. Shouting and killing bursts.Tong Guan only felt that his eyes were dark and his mouth was bitter, and he led the hastily organized cavalry to rush to the noise to rescue his own soldiers, besieging and killing the horse troops who attacked the camp.

Just after leaving the camp of the Chinese army, the team that had assembled in a hurry was broken by howling shells.The cavalry on Jingdong East Road, their horses had rarely seen artillery, and a few shells startled countless horses.These frightened horses ran wildly at night, and the horse army that Tong Guan brought over from the Beijing camp also dispersed.

Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo took the lead, stepping into the chaotic barracks that had just been shelled.The two of them opened the way in front, and the two thousand cavalry behind faced the panicked soldiers running around at night, like tigers entering a herd of lambs, and penetrated the camp without any hindrance.The two broke up, and each led a thousand-man horse army to fight back from the nearby camp.

Hu Sanniang got on the horse with a gun, and he nervously looked at the horse army who was going back to kill him.The guards around her also stared nervously at their general, for fear that Hu Sanniang would rush over to join the horse army attacking the camp.

Gongsun Sheng poured all the remaining shells into the cavalry team that came out of the Chinese army camp.He saw with his clairvoyance that the cavalry team was routed, so he arranged for his artillery team of a hundred men to withdraw and board the ship immediately.

Hu Sanniang waited until Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo came back with the team, and then rode their horses and galloped to the corresponding boat.On the upstairs boat, Hu Sanniang watched the movement in the direction of the barracks with clairvoyance, while anxiously waiting for Hua Rong and Hu Yanzhuo to count the number of soldiers who came back.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, no one returned, and the imperial court had already organized troops to approach the shore, before Hu Sanniang ordered the boat to lift anchor and return to the village.
