Chapter 519 Attack is the best defense

Chapter 519 Attack is the best defense
After two failed attacks, the Zheng family's army never launched an attack again, and the vanguard of the Qin army did not take the opportunity to counterattack. They were worried that they would scare the fish away.

Both sides were waiting for the arrival of the main force, but the main force of the Qin army was the first to arrive.

Zhou Ze, head of the second regiment of the first division, arrived with the rest of the troops.

After listening to the report from the vanguard and observing the Zheng family army's position at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Ze realized that the Zheng family army was also waiting for reinforcements.

From the report just now, he had already made a preliminary assessment of the combat effectiveness of Zheng's army, so after a little thought, he ordered the mortar company to start setting up artillery positions near the hill on the right.

At the same time, a platoon of people was sent to Wenzhou City to inform the local Xiangyong, ordering them to be vigilant and temporarily close the city gate.

The rest of the troops built fortifications on the two hills and flank positions, waiting for the arrival of the enemy's main force.

Zhou Ze didn't intend to fight a complete positional battle with the Zheng family's army. His fighting style still likes to attack.

He believes in the words of His Royal Highness the Regent: Offense is the best defense.

Therefore, Zhou Ze only invested one battalion and one artillery company on the front. The remaining two battalions took out one company as a reserve team, and the rest of the troops were used as outflanking troops. .

Zhou Ze's purpose is very simple, that is to eat up all the enemies today.

Teachers are not our opponents, let alone students.

Among all the new troops of the Qin Army, the commanders of units above the platoon are equipped with command knives, binoculars, and compasses.

With the help of the compass, Qin Jun basically did not go wrong in the dense forest, and successfully reached the designated ambush position.

After receiving the news from the communicator that the various units were in place, all that was left for the Qin army was to sit back and wait.

Before noon, the main force of Zheng's army finally arrived, panting and exhausted.

Seeing the black-faced major general and the distraught guards, the others also realized that the major general had suffered a defeat, and it was probably a miserable one, so they all shut their complaints in their mouths. .

And seeing the tragic loss of more than half of the guards, the others also became anxious.

Looking at the exhausted main force, although Zheng Sen intended to let them go on the attack immediately to avenge their shame, he finally thought about it and ordered to rest for half an hour before launching the attack.

Although Zheng Sen's 3000-strong army is also a firearms force in name, they are basically all musketeers, and they are not equipped with artillery at all.

And in terms of training, including tactical actions, battlefield skills, tactical command, etc., the British also cut corners, and only taught them a general idea, leaving a lot of essence.

Therefore, in essence, Zheng Jiajun's overall level is still at a half-new and not old stage, not even a star behind Qin Jun.

Even the British themselves, many of the so-called essences seem to Jiang Chuan to be vulgar.

After all, Jiang Chuan's age was an era of information explosion. Even ordinary people who had never fought a war could learn many examples and basic tactics of modern warfare through various channels. This is still in the initial stage of the firearms war. The British are far behind.

Jiang Chuan taught the new army after processing the information he had learned. Although many aspects are full of loopholes and various deficiencies in the eyes of future generations of experts, it is enough to deal with the British.

Half an hour later, the Zheng family's army, who had recovered, began to gather under Zheng Sen's urging, ready to launch an attack.

Zheng Sen's tactic this time is to divide the troops into four parts, one part monitors the Qin army on the left hill, and the remaining three parts attack the right hill in turn.

As long as you occupy the hill on the right, you can condescendingly suppress the Qin army on the hill on the left, and then the people who monitor them can take the opportunity to capture the hill on the left.

However, for the insurance period, Zheng Sen still left about 500 people as a reserve team in case of accidents.

The Zheng family's army's battlefield communication method is still ancient. First, with the sound of horns, the Zheng family's army began to gather, and they were ready to attack under the leadership of their respective commanders.

After the sound of horns ended, there was another rush of drums, and the first round of 500 people attacked the cave on the right in a chaotic manner.

On the position on the hill on the right, two infantry companies of the Qin Army were deployed.Behind the side of the position is the position of the artillery company.

The head of the regiment, Zhou Ze, looked at the Zheng Jiajun rushing upwards in chaos, and ordered the battalion commander next to him: "After a while, listen to my order and then fire, let the brothers shoot freely, and seize the opportunity to practice marksmanship. Hitting moving targets and The effect of hitting a fixed target is completely different.”

After the commander of the first battalion passed on the words of the commander, the soldiers of the second regiment all looked eager to try and began to compete with each other. Many people began to brag that they were going to kill several enemies.

The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, as if engaging in a risk-free shooting competition.

"Regimental Commander, we have to give us some opportunities to practice. If we can't kill good things, let them take them." Li Dazhu, the commander of the artillery company, also ran over to join in the fun.

Zhou Ze kicked his ass and scolded with a smile: "You kid, why are you joining in the fun? When you fire. Wait for my order later, let you fire and then fire. If I scare the enemy away, I will take You are a target."

Having been in the army for a long time, Zhou Ze, who was born as a scholar, was also full of foul language when talking to his subordinates.

However, in front of his boss, he still has the style of a Confucian general who is rigorous and good at thinking and summarizing.

Li Dazhu, who was kicked by the regiment leader, returned to the company's position with a satisfied smile. He didn't know what he said with embellishment, which caused the artillerymen to cheer in a low voice.

At this time, the Zheng family army, who was attacking upwards, didn't know the news of the arrival of the main force of the Qin army. They thought there were only a hundred or so people, so although they were careful, they didn't seem too worried.

250 meters, there is no movement on the top of the mountain.

200 meters, still no movement.

150 meters, still no movement.

This made Zheng Jiajun even more relaxed. It seems that there are really not many enemies, and there are really not many bullets as the major general said.

At about 100 meters, Zhou Ze still did not give the order to shoot, which made the soldiers who had been preparing for a long time feel anxious.

However, the military order was like a mountain, and they could only continue to wait patiently.

When they finally reached about 70 meters, the commander Zhou Ze pointed forward with his command knife, and said in a deep voice, "Fire, shoot freely!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."
