Chapter 874 Yangzhou War (6)

He cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, the general, the final general will definitely make new achievements."

"Ah."

Tai Shici also had the mentality of giving it a try, and asked Zhou Yun to be the deputy brigade commander.

If you do well, you will be promoted to brigade commander in the future.

If you can't do well, it proves that you don't have the talent, so you just fuck it.

"What's the situation with the enemy now? Haven't they attacked again?" Tai Shici asked.

Wu Liang said: "Back to the general, they have been stationed in Shilin since the regiment leader Zhou wiped out their artillery the day before yesterday, and have not launched a second round of attack. The general thought that they were afraid of our artillery and dared not attack. .And, waiting for new artillery from the rear.”

"You guessed right."

Tai Shici said: "The Western Shang Empire is becoming more and more cautious. Once they suffer heavy losses, they will not attack easily. This time, Commander Zhou coughed. Brigadier Zhou destroyed their artillery, which is tantamount to pulling out their tips. How dare they attack?" Come again?"

"That's fine. It will be easier if we keep here."

As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles.

Tai Shici sent a team of scouts to sneak into the enemy camp to find out the news.

There are ten scouts in this team.

They were dressed in the clothes of the enemy army and sent to the right side of the stone forest.

The right side is the enemy's rear.

Also counted as the back camp.

Because the right side is not far away, there are both mountains and rivers, and only a few soldiers and horses are needed to hold on.Using this as the rear, you can attack the mountain pass with more confidence.

The scouts are all trained and very professional when performing their missions.

They approached the enemy camp and lay in ambush in the grass in the distance.

Not long after, a few enemy soldiers came out to relieve them.

They quickly leaned over and assassinated him.

Then pretend to be them and sneak into the enemy camp.

The camp was quiet and there were few lights.

The teams patrolling back and forth were also casual, walking slowly.

The soldiers on guard were also dozing off.

The whole camp is loose and loose.

It feels like defenseless.

This made the keen scout feel a little strange.

The Western Shang Empire has always had strict discipline, and the control over the military is even stricter than that of the Huaxia Kingdom.Now he looks like this, is it because he lost the battle before and his morale has problems?Or is this army originally an underdog?Or, the enemy has bad intentions and wants to lure the enemy with this?
The task of scouts is to have a comprehensive understanding of the enemy camp.

Report what you see and hear to Tai Shici.

As for guessing, it doesn't work.

They wandered around the camp for a long time.

Thinking that he understood the whole situation, he managed to evacuate.

"What's the situation in the enemy camp?" Tai Shici asked at the mountain pass.

"Reporting to the general, the defense of the enemy camp is slack, and there is no state of preparation for battle. Their soldiers are also very tired, the patrols are listless, and the guards are still dozing off..."

Scouts, tell Tai Shici what they saw.

Zhou Yun and Wu Liang are both on the side.

Tai Shici asked: "Do you think the enemy army is really so loose, or is it deliberately luring the enemy?"

"The last general thinks that he is deliberately luring the enemy." Wu Liang said.

"Why?"

"I've heard that the Western Shang Empire had strict military discipline. How could there be such omissions. The last general will never believe it." Wu Liang said.

"It makes sense."

Tai Shici nodded.

But Zhou Yun said: "I report to the general, and I will have a different opinion in the end."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Yes."

Zhou Yundao: "The enemy army that we are fighting with is not very powerful. They stormed the mountain pass the day before yesterday and did not advance an inch. The reason why they were able to break through the stone forest was the support of the artillery on the other side of the river. Once there is no artillery, their The combat effectiveness will drop sharply. The last general thinks that they are a motley army."

"A miscellaneous army, how strict discipline can it be? In addition, they have just lost a battle and their morale is low. It is inevitable that they will be negligent."

"It's just that simple?" Tai Shici didn't believe it.

Since the invasion of the Western Shang Empire, he has fought more than a dozen battles.

Every game felt that the opponent was extremely powerful.

Even if the first and second armies are formed, facing the enemy, they are still somewhat overwhelmed.Generally speaking, the troops of the Western Shang Empire, no matter which one they are, have strong combat effectiveness.

At least in terms of discipline, it is impeccable.

Today, scouts find that the enemy's defenses are lax.

It was hard for Tai Shici to believe that this was the original appearance of the army of the Western Shang Empire.

"Perhaps you are right, but I don't want to take risks." Tai Shici was quite cautious.

He came here with the task of guarding the mountain pass.

If you go to attack the camp, it will be bad if you are ambushed.

"General, please order me to lead the headquarters to test the enemy. If there is no danger, the general will order a large-scale attack to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." Zhou Yun said.

"no need."

Tai Shici still did not agree.

He said: "The battalions go back to rest and guard the mountain pass carefully. Our task is to defend here, not to defeat the enemy. You must understand that once we attack, there is an accident, it is very likely that the enemy will rush through the mountain pass, threatening Your Majesty, how can you take such an important task?"

"promise."

All the generals replied.

Originally wanted to raid the enemy camp, but because Tai Shici was cautious, he gave up the opportunity.

but
Fortunately, Tai Shici was cautious.

Because the enemy troops stationed in Shilinzhai had indeed set up an ambush and set up a net to wait.

The reason why the few scouts sent by Tai Shici were able to enter easily was because the enemy did it on purpose.Otherwise, with the military discipline and defense of the Western Shang Empire, they would not even be able to pass the sentinel level.

this day.

The troops led by Lu Su arrived in Hefei.

A full [-] troops will block the water around Hefei.

Xu Ding still followed the procedure and asked someone to come forward and shout.

"Your Majesty, this group of enemy troops has resisted us for several days. They are extremely strong-willed. They may be the personal guards of the Western Shang Empire. Let's not persuade them to surrender. It seems that they will not surrender. Just in time, Zijing led the army to come , we are full of energy to win Hefei." Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe, why are you so eager? Can you wait?"

Xu Ding still had a glimmer of hope.

I want to capture the enemy army to surround and attack by force.

It's easier and more humane to win this way.Compared with the brutal invasion of the Western Shang Empire, it is more righteous.

"hold on."

Xu Ding sent people into the enemy's line of defense.

Soon.
Snapped!
A gunshot came.

The envoy Xu Ding sent was shot dead.

A dead body was thrown out.

Is this a demonstration against China?
Both Lu Su and Jia Xu looked murderous, and they cupped their hands towards Xu Ding and said, "Your Majesty, the enemy army is being rude, please order your Majesty to encircle and kill the enemy army!"

"Order..."

Xu Ding was also sullen.

He had good intentions and wanted to give the enemy a way out, but the Western Shang Empire did not cherish this kindness.

In this case, he doesn't need to be sentimental anymore.

All the generals present straightened their bodies.

Xu Ding said: "Surround the divisions, brigades, and regiments in Hefei, and start an all-out attack. Keep shrinking the enemy's range of activities until they are all wiped out!"

"To order..."

The generals answered.

After half a cup of tea.

The [-] troops from the four cities of Hefei entered the city in multiple ways.

More than a dozen commandos broke in along the street.

Behind is a large number of infantry, covering the assault troops.

All the cannons are set up at the rear, and as long as the enemy appears and their position is exposed, they will carry out precise strikes.

Under such an offensive, the enemy can only continue to shrink the defense.

The scope of their activities has become smaller and smaller.

Xu Ding slowly entered the city with Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Lu Su and others.

Xu Ding said: "This group of enemy troops is the most tenacious I have ever seen. Facing our army with such a strong attack, they can still fight to the death without surrendering. Their commander must be very unusual."

"yes.."

During the two years of war with the Western Shang Empire, although not many enemy soldiers were captured, there were definitely not many who could fight to the death without surrendering.Last time in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, the so-called elite mechanized corps dropped a few thousand.

Xu Ding hummed: "We have wiped out hundreds of thousands of elites from the Western Shang Empire, and regained Yangzhou. With the general trend, it is no longer possible for the enemy to resist us."

"When the enemy army in Hefei is wiped out, we will organize a big battle..."

Jia Xu heard what Xu Ding meant, and asked, "Your Majesty wants to fight Jiangdong?"

"Wenhe still understands me." Xu Ding smiled.

"Your Majesty, Jiangdong is not easy to take." Lu Su said.

"Why?" Xu Ding had his own plan: "We are attacking Jiangdong here, and the enemy troops in Jingzhou will have to come back to help. In this way, Guo Jia's troops will be much easier. Maybe we can take advantage of the situation to regain Jingzhou .”

"Of course, the premise is that the Western Shang Empire no longer sends troops to pass through the wormhole. Otherwise, we will fall into a very passive situation..."

"Actually, in the final analysis, it is a race against time. The sooner we enter Jiangdong, the safer our rear will be. Because the enemy has no time to look at the direction of the soldiers, it will completely disrupt their position."

What Xu Ding said was extremely thorough.

Jia Xu also slowly changed his original thoughts, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is wise, we should take advantage of the victories to march while the enemy is losing streak."

"Well, this matter will be discussed after harvesting the compound fertilizer." Xu Ding said.

The battle went very smoothly.

One hundred thousand troops rushed into the center of the city like a broken bamboo, and the enemy's troops were insufficient to resist.After half an hour of fierce fighting, they all retreated to the North Campus in Hefei.

Zhang Liao personally led the army and rushed into the school grounds.

First use artillery bombardment to force the enemy to retreat.

Then two assault regiments were dispatched to outflank from the left and right.

The rest of the troops overwhelmed.

Just an hour.

The remaining enemy troops were wiped out in the school field.

None surrendered, none escaped, and none survived.

All the enemy troops turned into corpses.

Xu Ding led everyone into the school grounds.

I saw corpses and blood all over the ground.

It was promised that someone would clean up the battlefield and dispose of all the corpses of the enemy soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I just received a letter from Feng Xiao." Back in Hefei Mansion, Jia Xu handed Xu Ding a letter.

"what did he say?"

Xu Ding opened it to look.

Jia Xu said: "Feng Xiao was worried that we would not be able to take Yangzhou, so he arranged for the defense of Fancheng. He personally led a division of troops from Xiling, and said that within three days, he would rush to Hefei to join the battle."

"Feng Xiao is too worried."

Xu Ding smiled.

Hefei has been captured, and Shouchun and Huainan are also in their hands.In the Yangzhou area, there are not many enemy troops who can compete with the Huaxia Kingdom.The next battle is to regain the territory and fight across the Yangtze River.

Xu Ding said: "Give him a reply letter, tell him not to come, and guard Fancheng well. If you find out that the enemy is withdrawing from Jingzhou, you should quickly organize your troops and go to Xiangyang."

"promise."

Jia Xu paused, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Aren't we going to attack Jiangdong? More than half of Jiangdong's army is at the mountain pass in the south, fighting against Taishi Ci. Even if they retreat to Jiangdong, Jiangdong's troops are relatively weak. If Feng Xiao is allowed to lead his army across the Neijiang River, go to Nanchang to garrison , then it will be very difficult for the enemy troops in Jingzhou to return to their aid. We can take all of Jiangdong." Jia Xu said.

"It's a good idea."

Xu Ding glanced at the map.

According to the terrain of Jiangdong, the location of Nanchang is indeed very important.

"Wenhe."

"exist."

Xu Ding said: "Immediately send an order to Guo Jia, let him lead the army, take Jiangxia first, and then attack Nanchang. With Nanchang as the center, extend to the east and west, and build defensive positions. When we attack Jiangdong, if the enemy returns from Jingzhou, Let him hold his ground and buy us enough time."

"Yes."

Jia Xu wrote an order according to Xu Ding's intention.

Send it to Guo Jia overnight.

this day.

In Xiling City.

Guo Jia is preparing to lead the army to Hefei.

He received a military order from Jia Xu.

After reading it, I was a little worried and a little excited.

Worried that the two armies of the Huaxia Kingdom will all enter Jiangdong, and they will suffer failure.Once it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

Happy is.
Once won.

This war also achieved a comprehensive victory.

It is absolutely impossible for the Western Shang Empire to send troops from Jiangdong in the future.

And they can also free up their hands to deal with Cao Cao in Yizhou, and strive to dominate the world in the shortest time.

compare the two.

Guo Jia expects the latter more.

He garrisoned in Xiling for a day, and then led all the troops to attack Jiangxia.

Jiangxia's enemy army is very weak.

Facing Guo Jia's strong attack, the city was lost in just three hours. More than 2000 enemy troops were captured, and the rest were killed in battle.

Guo Jia occupied Jiangxia City.

Prepare for the attack on Nanchang.

Compared with Jiangxia, the enemy army in Nanchang is stronger.

There is a division of troops stationed there, more than 1 people.

Guo Jia also brought a division, but compared with the enemy army, it was much inferior.Moreover, the enemy army is the party stationed and has a geographical advantage.It is really difficult for Guo Jia to break through the city.

But
Who is Guo Jia?

A rare military strategist in the contemporary era, Cao Cao's think tank in history, how could he be blocked by a city.

He split into three groups.
Two of them marched under his banner with great fanfare to attract the main force of the enemy.

The other route, directed by him personally, went to Nanchang City.

This tactic is extremely common.

Not only the Huaxia Kingdom is using it, but the army of the Western Shang Empire is also using it.

To put it bluntly, it is to surprise.

During the battle of Shouchun, Xu Ding used this method to capture Shouchun quietly.

Now Guo Jia wants to repeat the old trick.

Although dangerous, it was the only way he could think of.

Only in this way can there be a chance to break through Nanchang City.
