At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 297 Attacked
The sky was bright and the Xuanmen Pass came into view. Song Bing, who was on duty, took a closer look and found that the wall was empty.

Squad leader Liu Mugen said: "Quick, report to the brigade commander, the Yuan army in the pass may have escaped."

After a while, the two regiment commanders, the brigade commander and the chief of staff, gathered under the wall and looked carefully for a moment. There was indeed no trace of the Yuan soldiers.

"Don't be careless. Send a squad to take a look and follow up with a battalion to support you." Brigadier Lei Guang said.

"If it's an empty city strategy, you might as well take advantage of the situation and kill them." Chief of Staff Guang Shuping said.

They have a brigade of 3000 people, and they used the banner of the 97th Division, and deliberately expanded the camp. They set up more banners, tied straw people, and put up fake artillery, so that the Yuan army thought they had a division, and contained the [-] defenders at the Rotary Gate Pass. .

The mission was completed well, but it didn't mean that they didn't want to win the Xuanmen Pass. Now that the opportunity had been missed, they couldn't miss it.

Soon, the 401st Battalion, with one squad as the lead, successfully occupied the city wall.

Guancheng was deserted, not even a hair on it.

"The marshal must have succeeded." Guang Shuping said: "Leave a battalion to guard the Xuanmen Pass, and we will follow with a large force. There is no chance."

"Our army's mission is to contain them. Now that the revolving door is closed, we must hold on to prevent the Tatars from counterattacking." Lei Guang said.

"Brigadier." Liu Shiquan, the leader of the first regiment, said: "The Tatars must return to Luoyang when they retreat. We will follow them. Even if we cannot annihilate them all, killing some of them can reduce the resistance to the siege behind them."

Unlike a rising star like the brigade commander and chief of staff, he is almost 50 years old and will retire if he is not promoted. If he is not a general, he cannot be knighted. Liu Shiquan is not willing to do this.

"Yes, even if the Tatars turn around and fight, we will have a musketeer regiment, which is what we want." Guang Shuping was warlike at first and immediately agreed.

Lei Guang was also a young man and was very energetic, so he left two battalions behind and led the remaining troops to pursue the Yuan army.

In fact, the main force of the Yuan army left two days earlier, leaving only more than a thousand people to confuse the Song army. Therefore, the Lei Guang Department chased behind them for two days and saw no trace of the Yuan army.

"Damn, faster than a rabbit." Guang Shuping cursed.

"There is no way, the Tatars can send messages faster than us." Lei Guang said.

There is a circle of mountains outside Luoyang. The Song army sent a message in many twists and turns. Even if it took three days to ride quickly, the Yuan army could reach it in one day. This was the advantage of the Yuan army.

"His Majesty once said that there is a thing called a telephone, which can transmit messages thousands of miles away. It would be great if there was such a thing." Guang Shuping said.

"Sooner or later, even if we can't use it, our children and grandchildren will always be able to use it," Lei Guang said.

"I think it will be useful in 20 to [-] years." Guang Shuping was very optimistic and even blindly trusted the emperor.

The emperor knew the basic principle of electricity generation, using coils to cut magnetic fields, so the Shaofu made a hand-cranked generator, but it was still far from igniting a carbon filament lamp.

As for large-scale power generation, sorry, the emperor doesn't remember how to do it.

Besides, even if the telephone appeared, it would be difficult to popularize it.

Today's mining is still done by manpower, but the output is actually not high. If copper wires are used to lay national telephone lines, even if all the money is used, it may not be possible to get that much copper.

"After the world is peaceful and there are no more wars, I will let my son go overseas to occupy mines." Lei Guang said.

"How can you not fight?" Guang Shuping said with a smile: "The world is so vast, if you want to turn it into a king's land, how can you do it without fighting?"

"Then..." Lei Guang was about to answer when he suddenly felt his feet shaking.

"Get ready for battle!" Lei Guang glanced around, pointed at a hill on the side of the road, and shouted: "Seize the high ground here."

The combat effectiveness of the second-line troops was low due to the unreasonable age of the soldiers, lack of actual combat, and many trainers. Therefore, 500 troops quickly formed an array on the hill.

rumbling~
Horse hooves were flying, and countless Yuan troops appeared.

"Fuck." Lei Guang was shocked in his heart and shouted: "The cavalry company, disperse and break out, inform the marshal that our unit has been surrounded by at least 3 yuan of troops."

The cavalry company ran away wildly, and was immediately chased by a Yuan soldiers. "Damn, I fell into the trap." Guang Shuping clapped his legs and said, "Maybe I became the bait?"

"What bait?" Lei Guang didn't respond.

Guang Shuping said: "There is a high probability that the marshal has bitten the main Tatar force at Sheyuan Pass, so the Tatars designed to lure our troops in and let the marshal rescue them so that their main force can return to Luoyang City smoothly."

"If this is really the case, what a huge sin!" Lei Guang lamented.

However, the cavalry company in charge of communications has already been released, and it is useless to talk more, so we have to prepare for a deadly battle.

The Yuan army approached, surrounded the hill, and then sent a soldier to approach.

"The four kings have ordered you to surrender and mention..."

bang~
With the sound of a gunshot, the envoys who persuaded him to surrender fell from their horses.

Guang Shuping said: "Assemble all the riflemen in the army, no matter what, the rifles cannot be captured."

"Indeed, you go and do it." Lei Guang said.

A musketry regiment has forty rifled guns, which are used to focus on clearing dangerous targets. However, with the 3 Yuan army outside, forty good guns are of little use. The most important thing now is not to let the Yuan army obtain them.

Smoothbore guns don't matter, the Yuan army has already carried many guns, making smoothbore guns is not difficult, but rifled guns are still a big secret.

Just when Guang Shuping gathered the rifle gunners, the Yuan army had already launched an attack on the left and right.

The cavalry charged directly.

A small hill in the district can't slow down the horse's speed at all.

After the forest of guns, the musketeers Tian Lei Shou was ready. When the Yuan army entered forty steps, the Song army opened fire.

The sound of gunfire was mixed with thunder, and the Yuan army immediately fell on their backs. However, the distance between the front and rear of the Yuan army was quite large, and the lethality of the thunder was greatly weakened. The most important thing was that the cavalry was fast enough.

After suffering [-] to [-] cavalry casualties, the Yuan army had already rushed to the spear and shield wall formation.

"Warriors, drive your horses and clear the way!"

Lei Guang couldn't understand Mongolian, but he could understand the Yuan army's plan.

The knight in the front row kicked the horse wildly in the belly, even stuck a dagger into the horse's butt, and ran directly into the gun forest at an extremely high speed.

Although the Yuan soldiers who rushed to the formation were stabbed to the core, the Song army who set up the formation was also hit and flew back backwards.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the Yuan army rushed into the Song army's formation at the cost of 3000 troops and began to fight hand-to-hand.

The musketeers had bayonets, which transformed them into pikemen, but they were not flexible enough and suffered heavy losses for a while. Fortunately, the swordsmen had come to take over.

It's just that the Yuan army was outnumbered and had a premeditated plan. In just one hour, the Song army only had five or six hundred remnants left.

"Brothers!" Lei Guang touched his face and shouted: "Think about your family, and then think about the evil done by the Tatars. I don't want to be a low-class person for generations and fight with the Tatars."

"Fight!" all the troops shouted.

Without giving them more time to mobilize, the Yuan army has been allocated few troops.Mission accomplished, the charge was launched again.

It seemed like an instant, and it seemed like a lifetime. When Lei Guang found that the fighting had stopped, there were only more than 80 Song soldiers left.

On the hillside, there were layers of corpses, almost 4000 and more than [-] corpses. Even if they did not care about the remains of their comrades, the war horses could not speed up and run wildly.

Seeing that the Yuan army dismounted and refused to fight, Lei Guang smiled coldly and shouted: "Come on, everyone holds muskets and form a circular formation. Even if they die, their mouths will be broken."
