Chapter 613 The Decisive Battle in Southern Henan ([-])

The night was dignified, and the air was filled with the breath of war, which lifted the spirits of the soldiers on both sides.

Although the decisive battle will start tomorrow, the night is not peaceful, and the scouts and small groups of troops from both sides have already engaged in frequent battles.

Inside and outside Xiangcheng, the camps of the Qing army and the castle of the Wei army are all brightly lit, like a mirage in the dark night, corresponding to the galaxy in the sky, like a few nebulae in the universe.

Nanyang Land is located in a basin surrounded by mountains. Although the roads to enter Nanyang Basin are not as dangerous as the Shu Road, there are only a few of them.

Most of them are trails in the mountains, which are not suitable for large troops to pass through. The Wei army can send a small number of soldiers and horses to guard them.

Tens of thousands of people want to rush into Nanyang. There are actually only four roads. One is to go out of Wuguan and enter Nanyang. road.

Now the Wei army and the Qing army are competing for the official road from Xiangcheng to Nanyang.

The Wei army mainly relied on Xiangcheng and two military forts southwest of Xiangcheng, and built several camps and fortifications on the south bank of Ziyun Mountain and Rushui, firmly blocking the passage from Xiangcheng to Nanyang.

Xiangcheng is to the north of the Ru River. If the Qing army wanted to cross the Ru River and enter Nanyang, if they did not pull Xiangcheng, they would not only be blocked by the Wei army on the south bank of the Ru River, but also be attacked from behind by the defenders of Xiangcheng. Crossing the river would inevitably fail.

In the dark night, a group of soldiers from the Qing army sneaked under Xiangcheng City. Suddenly, the drums and trumpets sounded together, attracting the defenders on the city, and hurried to the top of the city, but no Qing army was seen stealing the city. The outside is back to calm.

The defenders on the city cursed loudly. Although they knew this was a tactic by the Qing army to exhaust the enemy, they still had to be vigilant every time to prevent the Qing army from really stealing the city.

There was no peace outside the Qing army's camp ten miles away. In the dark night, there was a scream from time to time, and a rocket trailed the constant tail flame and shot into the Qing army's camp.

The Qing army had many soldiers and horses, and the camp was huge. The Wei army scouted in groups of several people and harassed the Qing army camp with rockets with a range of two or three miles. The Qing army could not defend against it in the dark.

In the city, most of Wei Jun's barracks had already blown out lamps to fall asleep, and the room was full of snoring.

In some rooms, many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

It doesn't matter to the old soldiers of the Wei army. Many soldiers who participated in this kind of battle for the first time couldn't sleep because of tossing and turning.

"Old Chen, are you asleep?" The military tents are full of Datong bunks, more than a dozen men sleep in a row, a soldier poked the soldier next to him, and said in a low voice.

The old soldier surnamed Chen immediately stared into a pair of red eyes, "Sleep ass, I don't fall asleep when I think of fighting the Tartars tomorrow."

The conversation between the two of them was very quiet, but there were seven or eight people sitting in the whole tent.

"Old Chen, you son of a bitch, I was about to fall asleep, and you woke me up again!" A strong man sat up.

"You said, will we win the fight tomorrow?" One person asked.

Inside this tent is the surrendered army from Guanzhong, who is still a little afraid of fighting the Qing army.

When they were talking, Dui Zheng sat up and said impatiently: "It's all fucking sleepy, don't let me get punished!"

The soldiers all sat up, but they didn't listen to the commanding officer. Someone apologized and said with a smile: "Boss, tell us something, otherwise everyone won't be able to sleep!"

The team was looking at the subordinates on the bunk, "If you want me to say, there is nothing to worry about. Think about it, before we came, the king's partial division blocked the tartars. Now the king is leading the main force Come here, can the Tartars be defeated?"

When I said this, everyone couldn't help nodding their heads frequently, and Old Chen echoed: "The boss is a sensible person. I am relieved when I say this. When we come out of Guanzhong, Geng Zhongming's 3 people block the way, and the king will kill his grandson in one round." Yes. This battle is sure to be safe."

Dui Zheng said: "It's safe, then go to sleep and get enough energy to kill the Tartars tomorrow. After this battle, the Tartars will probably die by themselves. When the time comes, rewards will be given for meritorious deeds, and our treatment should be implemented."

When he said this, everyone couldn't fall asleep, "Boss, what kind of treatment!"

The team said: "The soldiers of the C-type battalion will all be given [-] mu of military land, and the reward will be calculated separately!"

Everyone in the tent was excited and started to yell, at this time the curtain was suddenly thrown open, and a town governor's angry shout came in, "Donkey Day's grandson, why don't you stay up all the time!"

There are a large number of instructors and eunuchs in the Wei army, but few scholars are willing to join the army. Most of the instructors and eunuchs are mud-legged, and some are from bandits and bandits, so their quality is worrying. Political work is very sloppy. Talk with your fists.

"Sleep, sleep~" The soldiers in the tent were startled, and hurriedly covered the quilts one by one, not daring to make a sound.

The town governor took a look, took out a brush, licked his tongue, drew a symbol on the notebook, and then put down the curtain and went to the next tent. asleep.

Outside the city, in the camp of the Qing army, Sun Maosheng, a former refugee from northern Henan, stood on duty outside the camp with a gun on his back.

He used to be a long-term worker of a rich man's family in Kaifeng Prefecture. When the Qing army went south, he drove a carriage and carried the old rich man and the young lady to the south, but was caught up by the Qing army. The old rich man died tragically, and the young lady was insulted by the Tartars. Then he was escorted to the north by the Tartars to cultivate land for the Tartars.

Last year, the Tartars chose the coats to accompany the army. He knew how to take care of the horses, so he was selected to watch the horses for his master and become a slave of the army.

For more than a year, Sun Maosheng followed the Banner soldiers to the north and south, and saw the Eight Banners soldiers win many battles, but he was still cowardly when he went to the battlefield.

At this moment, he was standing at the gate of the camp, looking at the rockets flying across the sky, watching them fall in the camp in a daze, his mind went blank.

"You, you, you~" Suddenly, a banner man in white armor walked up to the gate of the camp, ordered more than a dozen Han Nikan on duty, and shouted angrily: "You guys, go out to patrol the camp, and kill the barbarians outside. Drive away!"

The Baijia soldiers spoke Manchu, and Sun Maosheng didn't understand it, but someone on duty understood it, and immediately drew his sword and led his horse, and he had no choice but to gallop out of the camp with the others.

At this time, in the distant sky, several tail flames lit up again, like bolides, screaming and falling into the Qing army camp.

Wei Jun's rockets are very poisonous, so that the tartars can't sleep well at all, because they are afraid that a rocket will fall on the tent and set themselves on fire while sleeping.

Sun Maosheng followed the leader, Bao Yi, and urged his horse to run to the place where the rocket had just been launched. When he arrived, there was no one in sight.

But at this moment, another scream came from another direction of the camp, and a rocket shot up into the sky, trailing flames and shooting towards the Qing army camp.

"Go over there!" Bao Yi, the leader, immediately pulled the reins of his horse, urged the horse forward, and continued to follow the Wei army scouts.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "boom", and the few coats running in front were immediately blown upside down.

The cavalry in front stepped on Wei Jun's bomb, and Sun Maosheng turned pale with fright. The lady is still waiting for me, I can't die here.

Wei Jun's harassment lasted until midnight, and it was not until the fifth watch that the scouts retreated one after another.

At this time, the sky was already white, and smoke was rising from the Qing army camp. The soldiers of each battalion walked out of the tents, ate something, and then walked out of the camp.
