Chapter 290 The Battle of Wushi Mountain (11)
As the name suggests, Fengwu Peak is a mountain peak with fog surging.
Through reconnaissance a few days ago, Shi Fengxiang found that every midnight, fog will rise on the top of the peak and will dissipate until the beginning of the ninth hour.
Today is seventeen. The moonlight is just right, and the eyes are good. You can see a very distant place, which is not conducive to sneak attacks. Li Yong formulated a combat plan to use the fog period to let Shi Fengxiang solve three secret whistles first, and then wait invisibly for the east horse farm to start before launching an attack.
Shi Fengxiang watched the fog rising and felt that the fog seemed to be bigger tonight. Suddenly, a bold idea rose: "Why don't you take advantage of the fog to dive directly to the top of the peak and quietly kill Geng Zhongming? During training, you also practiced the 'behead' operation, why not do it for his family?"
Together, I turned to the idea and thought: "It's just that, half an hour ahead of the time when the entire army launched the general attack. It's better not to alarm the Qing soldiers. Just do it quietly and wait for the general attack to start. If you make a sound to alarm the Qing soldiers under the peak, can my battalion withstand it?"
"I remember General Li once said that mountain army combat has high requirements for commanders, and we must judge the situation and make the most favorable decisions in a timely and accurate manner. Then I am facing this situation now. If we proceed according to the original plan, it is naturally the safest, and it is not guaranteed that Geng Zhongming will not be able to escape. If the plan is temporarily changed, the chance of killing Geng Zhongming is greater. However, if a big noise is made, the entire army's attack must be advanced, and Wen Ji and Zifang have to cooperate with my actions. Hehe, is this equivalent to I commanding his two battalions?"
Thinking of this, Shi Fengxiang made up his mind. He called the three whistles to the front and quietly arranged them.
...
Liu Wenji led the 103rd Battalion and sneaked from the north of Qilinling to the horse farm east of Qingying.
The defense of the horse farm is much looser. Apart from a few sentries, there are basically no patrol soldiers.
Liu Wenji waved his hand and dozens of black shadows quietly touched in.
Deal with the sentinel first.
This was too simple for the mountain army. Several sentries were either wiped by the mountain army's necks or shot into the throat by the poisoned crossbow. Without making any sound, they saw the King of Hell.
Then dive to the temporary stable, cut off the reins tied to the pile wood, and then buried a mine - a mine that explodes louder than a grenade and is more effective in frightening the horse.
With nearly 20,000 war horses, the horse farm was several miles in a radius. I am afraid that it would be impossible to finish all operations by dawn. Liu Wenji only asked the soldiers to complete the easternmost stable, and waited for the ugly moment to come.
Liu Wenji looked at the sky and saw that he had just become ugly, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a small iron pot hidden in his arms, unscrewed the lid and took a sip of wine.
"boom!"
At this moment, a muffled sound came from the top of the mongoose peak, and then a shout of killing sounds came from everywhere.
"Fuck! This bastard Shi Fengxiang!"
Liu Wenji had just entered his throat with a sip of wine and was almost choked by the explosion.
After cursing, he saw the fire of the mongoose peak flash and disappear, and explosions came one after another. Liu Wenji did not hesitate anymore, put the wine pot in his arms, waved his hand, and shouted: "Action!"
"Boom boom boom"...
The landmines exploded, and the mountain army then threw out another wave of grenades. Looking at the war horses, all of them were shocked, and they were neighed and ran wildly. In addition, the war horses in the stable were frightened by these war horses, and they were also shocked. They screamed, broke the reins, and finally formed a torrent, rushed towards the west hillside, and rushed into the Shangkexi camp.
"Scatter the formation and rush!" Seeing that these war horses were obeying the command, Liu Wenji immediately disrupted Shang Kexi's camp and quickly ordered loudly.
Under the leadership of their respective whistle commanders and captains, the 103rd Battalion rushed up like a ghost.
The bright moon was in the sky and had a good vision. The Qing soldiers' bows and arrows were used, but 20,000 shocked horses rushed into the camp, causing the Qing soldiers to fall into pieces. The soldiers could not find their generals, the generals could not find their soldiers, and they could not organize them at all. In addition, they were afraid of grenades, and the Qing soldiers were panicked and at a loss.
At this moment, the 103rd Battalion quickly came up, threw grenades when it was far away, and shot with crossbow arrows when it was close, and fell hundreds of people in an instant.
"Oh my God, run quickly..." The Qing soldiers shouted and began to run around. But wherever they ran, their eyes were full of shocked horses. They had to be careful not to be knocked away by the shocked horses, and they were also careful not to be killed by the Ming army in black who did not speak or killed people silently. Seeing that the situation was not good, they knelt on the ground, raised their hands above their heads, and ran around, and as a result, they were either trampled to death by the horse or killed by the Ming army.
Liu Wenji led the 103rd Battalion as if he had entered a no-man. He cleared the periphery of the Qing soldiers without any effort and quickly approached Shang Kexi's central army...
Li Zifang also launched an attack on Shang Zhixin's camp without mental preparation.
"Damn it, this bastard Shi Fengxiang, I will twist your head off as a urinal after the battle!" Li Zifang heard the explosion from Yongwu Peak, and knew that Shi Fengxiang had started fighting first, so she couldn't help but curse.
"superior!"
Li Zifang issued an offensive order.
Although Shi Fengxiang launched a hasty attack, it brought benefits to Li Zifang's attack, because Shang Zhixin was also disturbed by the movements of Yongwu Peak. He didn't know whether to stay on the spot or reinforce immediately. When his soldiers heard the movements, they quickly stood up and ran out of the tent, focusing their attention to the east, ignoring the threat from the narrow valley.
Li Zifang's soldiers climbed up like monkeys, and quickly approached while the Qing soldiers sentries were all looking back at Yongwu Peak.
"Boom boom boom"...
Each man and a grenade were thrown at the place where the Qing soldiers gathered. The fire flashed continuously. The Qing soldiers were blown away and their flesh was flying everywhere, crying and calling their parents.
"Kill!" Ming army shouted and rushed towards the Qing soldiers who were still stunned.
The Qing soldiers were beaten and did not react for a while. By the time they reacted, the Ming army had already rushed up.
In this way, the Qing soldiers' advantages of long-range shooting of bows and arrows could not be exerted, and they could only fight with the Ming army in close combat.
The Ming army is not afraid of melee battles. Let’s try a grenade first. It doesn’t matter if you can’t kill it. While you are still firing, you will be greeted with a big blade and a crossbow arrow, so that you will not have the power to fight back at all.
Not only that, in addition to these men in black, the main force of the Ming army also came out, shouting and then rushed up. The trenches and fortifications that the Qing soldiers had dug were useless because the guards were killed by the mountain army.
Shang Zhixin, who was halfway up the mountain, saw that his soldiers were defeated by the Ming army, and the sound of killing on the mongoose peak was shocking the sky, and the explosions were getting further and further down, indicating that the Ming army had already gained the upper hand and his people were afraid that they could not defend themselves.
