Then he ordered the soldiers to impose martial law on the whole Dingbian county to guard against the loyalist’s possible fish in troubled waters, and at the same time grasp the last moment to prepare for the loyalist’s real attack.
It’s less than 100 steps away from Yangquan County Tower. A military tent has just come from the wall. Tan Liguo hasn’t come to have a bite. Just as the guards brought hot meals, the military tent was closed and the curtain was lifted …
Tan Liguo looked at himself and just met the battalion commander’s face with a very rare panic expression. He even forgot the report and went straight to wait for a while to March into the tent.
Less than three steps away from his position, he cried with a face of tension, "General … loyalist outside the city seems to be attacking us … not only thousands of infantry but also dozens of cannons … At the end of the day, people will be specially observed out of the city. A loyalist dispatched dozens of cannons, all of which can be fired in red."
After hearing the report, Tan Liguo got up from his seat as if he had been beaten with chicken blood in an instant.
A pair of sharp-edged eyes cling to the front battalion commander and ask, "You are not mistaken. The loyalist really dispatched dozens of red cannons and thousands of musketeers …"
Tan Liguo’s eyebrows were wrinkled up after being repeatedly affirmed by the battalion commander in front of him.
After taking a deep breath, he sighed at the battalion commander in front of him, "Now it seems that this time the loyalist should be serious, otherwise they would never send so many red cannons at once."
At this time, the lieutenant who received the news also hurried to the chancellorsville and saw his brow furrowed before him. He seemed to be thinking about what Tan Liguo directly asked …
"At the end of the general will also receive the news that loyalist is about to launch an attack, but so far there is no news of reinforcements from Datong Governor’s Office. Can we local garrisons who are not equipped with heavy artillery alone stop loyalist attacks? Want to know the loyalist outside the city this attack fully deployed dozens of guns in red "
Tan Liguo Shen replied, "If we can’t keep it, we must keep it … Don’t forget that we are all people who are hanged by the court. Once we are defeated, we ourselves, including our family, will be blamed by the court."
"Besides, all of us were pulled out by the guard. If it weren’t for the guard, we might not have a bright future in this life. Even if the guard knows us well, we will keep it here."
"In addition, we will finally say: the powerful fighting capacity of the Tiger and Leopard Army. All of us have seen it, and we will believe that the final victory in this military confrontation must be that we want us to hold Yangquan County and wait for us with this credit after the battle. It will also be an official promotion and a general reward …"
After seeing the lieutenant’s decadent face directly shooting out full of hot eyes because of what he said
Tan Liguo’s facial expression became serious instead.
After taking a deep breath, he analyzed to the front lieutenant that "our army should have confidence and morale in the upcoming offensive and defensive war and firmly believe that the final victory must belong to us."
"But we have to face the huge gap between ourselves and the enemy to solve …"
The lieutenant’s hot face was slowly covered with seriousness.
Tan Liguo replied, "The general will be most worried about the gap at the end of the year because we don’t have any heavy artillery to fight against the loyalist red artillery. We also have loyalists."
"In addition, we have equipped 20,000 grenades, which will definitely cause destruction to the loyalists outside the city. This is the only advantage for us for loyalists."
Tan Li first nodded, then shook his head, and finally answered, "Your analysis is good …"
"For loyalists equipped with dozens of red cannons, there is no solution here except the backup from Datong Governor’s Office. The only thing we can do is to reduce the killing of loyalist red cannons to us as much as possible …"
Speaking of which, Tan Liguo’s eyes have unconsciously shot out two shirts.
Answer to the lieutenant, "There will be an idea here, but we can’t make a decision until we see the loyalist layout on the wall first, so let’s go to the wall first …"
A few people just boarded the tower and the loyalist arranged a heavy artillery position a mile away, and everyone appeared in the field of vision.
Seeing this, Tan Liguo became more confident in his thoughts.
The lieutenant, who is full of expectations around him, analyzed that "the power of the red cannon equipped by the loyalist is indeed very powerful, but it also has a drawback, that is, the shooting accuracy is too poor."
"Now his artillery position is a mile away from us, so it can be said for sure that there is a ten-step error when they shoot at us … what’s more, twenty or thirty steps are possible."
"This situation gives us a chance to avoid gunfire and reduce casualties …"
Seems a little impatient lieutenant directly mouth asked "what is the general opportunity …"
Tan Liguo calmly replied, "It’s very simple. When loyalist red artillery guns are fired, the soldiers hide in the foot of the city wall and then climb the city wall to defend."
"The red cannon has dozens of shooting errors. The loyalist absolutely has no courage to risk being accidentally injured by a bullet when the red cannon is shelling, and attack the wall line."
After hearing this way, the lieutenant’s face just showed a smile, and it didn’t last long before he was replaced by a dignified heart and woke up to Tan Liguo.
"General, in this way, the loyalist shelling has escaped us, but as you just said, attacking our loyalist will avoid accidental injury and will not attack the wall line."
"But at the end of the loyalist will know that they will never wait for us to climb the wall again and prepare for the battle before attacking us …"
"At the end of the day, we will boldly guess that after the loyalist shelling, their attacking troops will approach us and wait until their shelling stops before launching the most deadly attack on us from the security area."
"Then maybe we haven’t boarded the wall loyalist attack troops have rushed to the foot of the wall ladder to climb the wall and we fight for the wall …"
"If the soldiers are equipped with muskets at that time, they will become muskets and then have to pick up cold weapons to fight at close range with loyalist attacking forces …"
Facing the lieutenant’s question, Tan Liguo’s confident smile did not change at all.
The lieutenant and several of his heads stared at each other and made a surprising answer, "You are right, but it will be said that this is the result. Give up muskets, sharpen cold weapons and grenades to fight with loyalists at close range …"
See everyone’s face quickly revealed shock and puzzled Tan Liguo hurriedly explained.
"Don’t forget that we are equipped with muskets. The loyalists outside the city are also equipped with muskets. It is more important because the new flint muskets have not been installed in our places. The muskets in our hands belong to the old muskets like the loyalists outside the city."
Chapter four hundred and twenty-six Melee fighting
"In this case, if you want the musketeers to win the advantage and victory in shooting, there is a way to compete with the number of musketeers. Whoever has more musketeers in his hand and shoots more lead shots will win."
"The number of musketeers is far less different than that of musketeers fighting against loyalists and dying when they are not loyalists."
When I heard this, many people all showed a deep expression on their faces.
Of course, some people are worried about this offensive and defensive war because they hear that they can’t make muskets.
In order to restore everyone’s confidence, Tan Li continued: "Of course, everyone is not too worried about this result …"
"It will be very beneficial for us to say close combat from the war situation …"
"When we engage in close combat with loyalists, loyalists equipped with red cannons will become a decoration method, which will pose a threat to our soldiers who stick to the wall …"
"Second, we are equipped with powerful grenades that are very suitable for melee … If there are grenadiers, we will be invincible in close combat with loyalists …"
Indeed as expected Tan Liguo just finished lieutenant and others face to restore confidence.
Tan Liguo’s face also showed a satisfied smile and commanded the lieutenant around him with a dignified face: "You all know the idea, so let’s prepare now."
Will command: "In addition to keeping 100 soldiers to continue to defend the city wall and monitor the loyalist’s every move outside the city, the rest of the soldiers will leave the city wall to avoid the loyalist shelling …"
"Lieutenant zhou, your horse will take out the cold weapon department of our library and change it for the men …"
"Will be the shortest time to see two thousand long sought-after one thousand knife shield hand one thousand bombers …"
"He returned to their respective forces to organize his brothers to change clothes … It is not expected that we will kill the horses at close range with loyalists outside the city …"
A few days after the exploratory attack on Yangquan county, Zhou Haoguang, the commander-in-chief of loyalist, had a general understanding of Yangquan defenders.
What makes Zhou Haoguang happy is that there are not many defenders in Yangquan County. More importantly, there are no tigers and leopards, the most elite troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
Because I didn’t encounter a tiger and leopard army in the exploratory attack for several days in a row, I was equipped with new muskets and artillery
Without the most elite tiger and leopard troops in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces and the limited defenders in Yangquan County, Zhou Haoguang will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity.
The reinforcements of the Tiger and Leopard Army rushed to Yangquan County to attack Datong Passage with Yangquan troops.
Meticulous Zhou Haoguang directly took out half of his red cannon and brought up his single-handedly trained 5,000 Beijing camp to prepare for attacking Datong passage with Yangquan County.
