Become a feudal king from today - #1013 - Chapter 1025 Night Attack
“Let all machine gunners prepare, they should launch a night attack at night.” Standing on a raised mound, Guan Tong observed with a telescope for a while.
Seeing that the Piaoman army made no next move, he made a judgment.
The last time the Piaoman attacked Yunzhou, they had already suffered a loss at the hands of the Suzaku Army, so they knew how powerful the Suzaku Army was.
If they attack during the day, not only will they fail to achieve their plan of forcing the Suzaku Army into the Great Swamp, but they will also suffer heavy losses.
And by using night to weaken the accuracy of the Suzaku Army’s guns and artillery, only then can the attack be successful.
He believed that the Piao barbarians would definitely be able to figure this out.
“Yes, general.” There were three generals standing in front of Guan Tong.
Their names are Yan Heng, Nie Yun, and Xue Yuan, and they command the first, second, and third armies of the Suzaku Army.
After performing a military salute, they turned around and left, deploying their forces against the Piusan army.
During the confrontation between the armies of both sides, the sun gradually set in the western mountains.
The mountains turned from blue to red, and finally were engulfed in darkness.
At this moment, the location where the Piusan army was stationed lit up. It turned out that the Piusan soldiers lit the torch.
Under the light of torches, the Pseudo barbarian army moved into action, and the elephant soldiers composed of five hundred elephants were arranged in the front row.
Other Piaoman soldiers followed the elephant soldiers, preparing to charge against Dasong’s army.
“Hahaha, the people of Dasong will be scared to death. Our elephant soldiers will trample them into pieces.” said the Human general next to Yongya.
Yongya looked towards the place where Dasong’s army was stationed, where a bonfire was also lit, which was vaguely visible.
Hearing this, he smiled cruelly.
When he led troops to fight against Dasong’s army in Yunzhou, he realized that his own muskets and artillery were quite different from those of Dasong’s army.
Except for rifled guns, which can play some role, flintlock guns and matchlock guns are not available.
Under such circumstances, it was natural to launch a sneak attack at night.
Moreover, he also asked the soldiers participating in the sneak attack to all carry swords.
Darkness is not conducive to the shooting of Dasong’s army’s muskets and artillery, and naturally it is not conducive to the shooting of their own muskets and artillery.
Therefore, it is better to fight directly and use numbers to annihilate this great song army.
Thinking of this, he became more and more proud, as if he saw victory right in front of him.
After the elephant soldiers finished forming up, Yongya gave the order to attack.
The barbarian soldiers steered the elephants into the darkness.
Although there were torches everywhere in the camp, the Piaoman soldiers responsible for the sneak attack did so in the dark.
They were spread out on a five-mile-long front, with elephant soldiers every five meters, advancing forward.
Before the Piao Man launched the attack, the Suzaku Army sent out scouts and planted bells 200 meters in front of the camp.
The bell is small and convenient, and is a powerful weapon against night attacks. The scouts naturally carry it with them.
After nightfall, the Suzaku Army deployed its main forces on the south side, and only a small number of troops were placed on the east, west and north sides, and no machine guns were arranged.
Because although the Great Swamp is a desperate place, it has also become a wall for them at this moment.
Except for the tens of thousands of barbarians who lured them and may take the opportunity to kill them after the battle begins, there will be no more troops.
The east and west sides belong to the edge of the Everglades.
This is also the reason why Guan Tong chose to station here.
It is to use the edge of the swamp to create geographical advantages.
In this way, they only need to focus on defending against the barbarian army in the north.
At this moment, 180 machine guns were distributed on the front line.
Soldiers were placed between machine guns.
The soldiers took off the grenades from their waists and placed them in front of them for easy access during battle.
The artillerymen were also ready to bomb the attacking Piao barbarian army after the illumination bombs were launched.
For a moment, the battlefield was eerily quiet, with only the sound of insects chirping.
Guan Tong did not sleep.
Instead, he was walking back and forth in the camp, and he was a little nervous.
He was afraid that Qiao Man would see through his intentions and not fall into his trap.
In this way, he would have to spend a lot of time to annihilate the Piao barbarian army.
The generals stared at Guantong, their eyes following his figure.
About half an hour later, a fierce ringing sound suddenly came.
Guan Tong heard the sound and immediately shouted, “Flare!”
With a sound of “Poof!”, a flare shot up into the sky, and the sky and the earth suddenly became like daylight.
Under the light, the Piaoman elephant soldiers and infantry were exposed in front of the Suzaku Army.
“I’ve been fooled!” Zhou Yi was excited and clenched his fists tightly.
He had used this bell to prevent sneak attacks on the Beidi people a long time ago.
Now that he succeeded again, it was obvious that Piaoman had no relevant experience and fell into the trap.
As the first illumination bomb took off, more and more illumination bombs were launched along the battle line, and the width of the attack formation of the entire Piaoman army was also exposed.
“beat!”
At this moment, Guan Tong shouted and issued an order.
“Da da da……”
At almost the same time, the machine gun burst into flames.
One hundred and eight machine guns poured out a large number of bullets in an instant.
The soldiers also shot at the barbarian army in various postures.
The artilleryman pulled the match rope, and the cannonballs flew out of the muzzle one by one and fell into the Piaoman army.
In order to attack the Suzaku Army, Yong Ya invested a large number of troops.
The open space between the Suzaku Army camp and the Piaoman camp was filled with Piaoman soldiers.
Faced with machine gun fire and artillery bombardment, they had no choice but to hide.
When the flares were raised and controlled, the Piaoman army was startled by the sudden bright light.
The elephant that the elephant soldier sat down was even a little uneasy, taking a few steps forward and a few steps back.
When the Suzaku Army’s machine guns, rifles and artillery fired at the same time.
The elephant with the largest target was immediately injured.
The sudden loud noise also frightened the elephants. They no longer listened to the elephant soldiers’ instructions and ran away screaming.
This made the barbarian soldiers around the elephant soldiers unlucky, and they were immediately trampled to death by the elephants.
The soldiers who were not trampled to death by the elephants were shot and fell in a pool of blood because they were no longer covered by the elephants.
“Da da da……”
“Bang bang bang…”
Being well prepared, machine guns and soldiers fired wildly.
Under the dense rain of bullets, the Piaoman soldiers fell one by one.
“Fuck me!”
“Don’t retreat, charge forward!”
“…”
The Piaoman soldiers in the front row were suddenly attacked, suffering heavy casualties, and were frightened by the sudden light. Some Piaoman soldiers fled out of fear.
Upon seeing this, the Piaoman general immediately stopped the soldiers from escaping.
Their emperor Yong Ya was determined to carry out this night attack.
As long as they can frighten Dasong’s army through a fearless night attack and force them to flee south, they will win.
Therefore, even if they are discovered by Dasong’s army, they will carry out the night attack to the end.
After all, they had arrived two hundred meters away from Dasong’s army.
Under the supervision and coercion of the general, some Piaoman soldiers turned back and joined the charging team again, roaring and rushing towards the Suzaku Army formation.
