It was already the second day after Nie Wenzhou received the news that he had taken Xi'an.
Looking at the report of more than 300 casualties and the suggestion to use large-scale artillery to directly break through the city, Nie Wenzhou was glad that these people had finally come to their senses!
Almost everyone in the future knew that if there were a large number of cannons, they would definitely be bombarded by artillery fire. Who had the time to play this kind of battle!
However, people at this time did not think so!
Nie Wenzhou could already confirm that the plan to attack Shaanxi shouldn't be a big problem. Now, it depended on whether Zhao Ti's troops would send troops and whether they could hold on.
At this time, Yuxi only had 10,000 regular soldiers, including a division, a brigade, a guard regiment, an artillery regiment, and a baggage regiment. However, their weapons were excellent.
Apart from leaving behind a company to protect themselves, the rest of the guards were equipped with Hwa-1 semi-automatic rifles. The brigade was partially equipped, but the entire brigade was equipped with sufficient artillery, mortars, and machine guns.
If they held on to the favorable terrain, Nie Wenzhou was confident that they could withstand three times the number of soldiers without losing.
……
Overseer Zhao Ti didn't know how confident Nie Wenzhou was.
He had already received a report from the small warlords in western Henan that they were marching into Shaanxi. He immediately felt that it was a godsend.
Previously, when he heard that Nie Wenzhou had tens of thousands of troops, he did not move against him. Now, he actually split up his troops recklessly. This was a good opportunity for him to unify the government!
However, he did not have many troops that he could mobilize.
Bai Lang had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace in Henan, and there were still many bandits in various places who were still very weak. They all needed to be guarded.
They finally gathered an army of 20,000 people and under the command of General Wu Guangxin, they went to attack Yuxi.
Zhao Ti did not have any good intentions.
Wu Guangxin had been transferred over from the Wan faction. Zhao Ti had always been worried that he would snatch his Overseer. Even if Wu Guangxin won this time, he would suffer a lot of losses.
……
Nie Wenzhou had received news from the Intelligence Bureau when Zhao Ti was about to send out his troops. Now that the other party had started to come out, Nie Wenzhou began to think about how to break out of the situation.
Defend or attack?
If they defended, it would definitely affect production and life. If they attacked, it would not have such an impact, but the number of people seemed to be a little small.
After thinking about it and discussing it with the division headquarters, everyone felt that it was best to take the initiative to attack.
Moreover, the staff had already given them two battlefields that were suitable for ambushes. Nie Wenzhou had agreed after reading their plan. The combat mission was handed over to Zhang Liang of the 1st Brigade, and Nie Wenzhou would go as far away as possible.
He didn't think that he was destined to be the main character and that he could dodge bullets.
……
"Report, enemy snipers have been spotted at Eagle Beak Mountain.”
"Oh, Eagle Beak Mountain is a good battlefield. How many people are there?"
"I can't see clearly, but there should be four to five thousand people!”
"You want to stop my army with just this few people? Hehe, let's go and meet this little warlord.”
Wu Guangxin was very confident. Four times the number of soldiers was enough to push through.
After that, the two armies met and fought for an entire day.
The people's army retreated a few times to lure the enemy into chasing after them. Unexpectedly, Wu Guangxin was very experienced. Every time, he stopped chasing and the army slowly pressed forward.
It wasn't until the sky turned dark and both sides had changed their battlefields that Wu Guangxin finally set up camp on a large piece of flat land with no villages in front or shops behind.
In fact, there was no camp, just a few tents. Most people were still squeezed together in the open air.
Although he had lit a fire, the cold weather was too good!
five in the morning
This was the time when people were sleeping soundly, and the people on duty were also yawning.
Suddenly, a signal flare rose into the sky.
" Wuwu!" A burst of artillery shells whistled through the air.
Rumble…
The artillery shells came one after another, and Wu Guangxin's troops were in a mess.
Although Wu Guangxin was experienced, he did not see many cannons in the day. Most of them were small steel cannons.
However, the sound of the cannon was clearly from the wilderness!
Now that it was a mess, Wu Guangxin could only gather as many people as possible under the protection of the guards, but they were drowned out by the sound of cannons and explosions.
The sound of cannons lasted for more than ten minutes. Just as it stopped, a large area of light came from the side of the road.
The two rows of cars had already approached under the cover of the gunfire, and their headlights shone on the chaotic crowd.
One must know that there was no problem in looking at the light in the dark, but looking at the dark in the light was blind!
This was the case for Wu Guangxin's troops.
In fact, although the cannons had been roaring just now, there were not many casualties.
The shells were only aimed at the general direction, and the crowd was not lined up together, so there were not many casualties.
However, it caused chaos.
Now that there were only 20,000 soldiers left, the higher-ups could not find any subordinates to form an effective command.
At this moment, the people's army had already taken advantage of the chaos to attack. Mortars and machine guns were constantly intersecting, and a large number of people were approaching with rifles.
Wu Guangxin's troops were now in a complete collapse, and everyone wanted to escape to a safe place.
Therefore, the people's army chased after them until dawn. Most of the time, they were capturing prisoners.
Wu Guangxin had also escaped from the guards. After dawn, he began to gather the scattered soldiers. After half a day, he finally gathered more than 5,000 people.
Defeated, defeated so cowardly!
This was what Guangxin thought.
He originally had an unstable battle plan, but he did not expect to encounter the people's army's unconventional sword.
Night raids had been common since ancient times, and it wasn't that Wu Guangxin wasn't prepared.
He sent many people to expand the encampment to a few hundred meters away, and there were also many sentries.
Unfortunately, they encountered the cannons of the People's Army. Those were good things that could shoot for several kilometers!
Hence, Wu Guangxin was in deep trouble!
All the sentries were almost useless. When the cannons sounded, these experienced soldiers naturally hid subconsciously. The people's army took advantage of the cannon's roar and began to approach.
At this time, the sentries were no longer of much use. If they encountered an organized army, they would be directly pushed aside, and then one would escape and the other would chase.
Other than the unlucky ones who were directly killed by the explosion, the casualties from the night battle were pitifully few.
Nie Wenzhou heard the news of victory when he woke up in the morning. After reading the battle process and the results report, he said that he was lucky!
Firstly, the people's army had deliberately hidden their cannons during the day to lure the enemy, but the enemy did not fall for it.
Later on, they were able to give the other party a huge scare. A cannon regiment and a cannon battalion with nearly 60 cannons were simply a big bomb in the dark night.
Secondly, the other party's training was completely insufficient. All of a sudden, they were in a mess.
If this was a well-trained elite force, it would be a given if they wanted to rely on a night raid to win.
They were all specially trained, and once there was chaos, they would all look at their military ranks. Those with higher military ranks would lead the others in battle, and it would definitely not be a one-sided situation.
However, at this time, the warlord army generally only recognized their superiors. No matter how high the officials were, they might not be useful, let alone someone who was put together by Zhao Ti at the last minute.
