Chapter 875 Yangzhou War (7)

"Sir, fifty miles ahead, we will arrive at Nanchang City. Should we act again at night? It's too exposed." In a certain mountain, the commander of the 12th Division who came with Guo Jia asked.

"Where are the rest of our two troops?"

The commander of the 12th Division replied: "They have already marched in two ways, attracting most of the enemy's forces. It is estimated that it will take a few hours before the official battle will begin."

Guo Jia looked at the sky.

It is noon.

If it is exposed early, the enemy army will panic, and they will not dare to go out to fight again, and they will all retreat to Nanchang.Then it will be even more difficult for him to capture Nanchang.

Guo Jia said: "Don't be in a hurry. We will go again when the enemy's troops fight with our other two troops and can't get away. It's probably going to be evening. Let the soldiers rest and recharge their spirits. Tonight Conquer Nanchang City in one fell swoop."

"The last will obey."

he replied.

a few hours later.

Soldiers came to report that the troops in the south and north had exchanged fire with the enemy.

The battle was very intense.

The enemy again transferred a regiment of troops from Nanchang City to support the north.

As a result, there is less than one regiment of troops stationed in Nanchang.

Guo Jia really wanted to order to seize Nanchang immediately.

But reason told him that now was not the time.

Guo Jia's troops stayed in the mountains for half a day.

After dark.

He carefully inspected the surrounding areas of Nanchang to make sure that there were no ambushes.

Afterwards, he led his soldiers and horses and went directly to the city of Nanchang.

The enemy is defenseless.

It was easily broken through the city tower.

Guo Jia ordered a regiment under his command to take the lead in entering the city as a vanguard.

The rest of the troops followed suit.

They were all killed at the gate of the government office, and the enemy army organized an army to resist.

but
The situation is no longer in their favor, and no amount of troops can save them.

After resisting for a while.

Defeated across the board.

Guo Jia took advantage of the situation and captured the important places in the city, government offices, school yards and other places, and took control of the granaries and arsenals.In this way, the scope of the enemy's activities is quite limited.

"Nanchang is an important town in the east of the Yangtze River after all, and even the government office is so grand." Guo Jia brought people to Nanchang Mansion, looked at Huihong's gate and decorations, and sighed.

"Compared to our Xuchang, this is nothing." The accompanying brigade commander said.

"Go in and have a look."

Guo Jia brought people into the mansion.

As soon as I walked to the door, I found a few people burning something in the yard.

Guo Jia hurriedly shouted: "That must be the enemy's confidential document, you go there quickly, put out the fire, and take down all the enemies inside."

"promise."

Soldiers rushed into the yard.

Keep the enemy under control.

Put out the fire on the ground.

Be busy for a while.

Save a few sheets of paper.

Guo Jia opened it to look, and was immediately surprised: "No, the enemy army from Jingzhou is about to reach Nanchang. There are three divisions. It seems that they already know that our Huaxia army is about to attack Jiangdong Jianye."

"Sir, with our little force, can we withstand the enemy's three divisions?" the generals asked.

"If you can stand it, you have to stand it, if you can't stand it, you have to stand it."

Guo Jia sent soldiers to take those who burned the documents down and strictly examine them.
Due to the capture of Nanchang City, the enemy troops who went to fight outside the city became alone.

When their commanders received the news from the rear, they all made a decision-withdrawal!
At this time, the only way to be safe is to evacuate Nanchang as soon as possible.

One step later, surrounded by Guo Jia's troops and blocking the way, there is a danger of annihilation of the entire army.

"There's no need to chase."

Guo Jia weighed the pros and cons, and ordered all the troops to return to Nanchang City.

"Sir, why didn't you chase after him? The enemy army was defeated just now, and we will surely win a big victory if we take advantage of the victory and pursue it." Several regiment leaders under him felt it was a pity.

"The enemy in Jingzhou is coming soon, we need to deploy our defenses early."

Guo Jia didn't explain much.

It just revealed that the enemies of Jingzhou are about to arrive in Nanchang.

He led his troops back to Nanchang and began to deploy defenses urgently.

Arming this time is different from the past.

The terrain of Nanchang is also different from Yangzhou and Fancheng.

There are no dangerous mountains here, and no rivers that can serve as barriers.Nanchang is surrounded by open land, and further away are wheat fields and water fields.

If you fight with cold weapons, this is the best place for field battles.

But fighting with hot weapons has become very difficult.

In such an open place, it is not only difficult to defend, but also difficult to get support.

Because the supporting troops, if they can't reach Nanchang, they will have to be discovered by the enemy, gathered and wiped out.

Of course, it is also difficult for the enemy to break through here!

Guo Jia arranged several lines of defense outside the city, and also built some buildings similar to arrow towers. The soldiers stood on them and could accurately snipe and kill the enemies on the opposite side.However, this kind of building must not be concentrated by the enemy's artillery, otherwise it will be defeated in one blow.

Seeing the enemy army arrive at the outer battlefield.

Guo Jia also began to form formations.

A big battle is about to start in Nanchang.

The Battle of Nanchang was basically trench warfare.The so-called trench warfare means that both sides build tight defensive positions and advance step by step.While defending carefully, consume with the opponent.

This kind of battle is often the hardest.

The demand for weapons and ammunition is also huge.

Fortunately, when Guo Jia captured Nanchang City, he seized a large number of weapons and supplies, otherwise he would not be able to resist the tens of thousands of enemy troops from Jingzhou.

"Sir, how long are we going to be stationed?" asked a regiment leader.

"Afraid?"

"Don't be afraid of the end."

"Just don't be afraid. Let me tell you, when the two armies are at war, the most taboo is to be afraid of the enemy. Because of fear of the enemy, the enemy's bullets are the easiest to hit you." Xu Ding told Guo Jia this.

Guo Jia will always remember it in his heart.

But as a counselor, he has no chance to prove this statement.

"Yes."

Several group leaders agreed.

"We will be stationed for a long time. Maybe two months." Guo Jia thought in his heart that in two months, the first and second armies should take Jiangdong.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the enemy does not increase troops from the wormhole.

Once the troops are increased, the two armies brought by Xu Ding will be in big trouble.

From this day on.

Guo Jia is in a stalemate with the enemy every day.

Although the enemy's offensive was fierce, they could not break through.

The two armies were at a stalemate, but Xu Ding was on the north side, winning consecutive battles.

Hefei.

riverside.

After Xu Ding captured Hefei City, he mobilized eight divisions of heavy troops, tens of thousands of Licheng.Prepare to cross the Yangtze River from Licheng to attack Jianye.

An army of [-] men rushed towards Licheng.

On the way, they passed the mountain pass where Tai Shici was stationed.

Since the enemy army had not received the news, they never knew that Hefei had fallen, let alone that Xu Ding personally led eight divisions to this battlefield.

In the Shilin area, there are three enemy divisions stationed.

Fight against Xu Ding's army in an all-round way.

This battle was one of the few since Xu Ding formed the new army, where more battles were fought.

The strength is three times that of the opponent.

It also occupies a dangerous position and has sufficient ammunition.

They took the initiative to attack and took advantage of it.

The two armies fought fiercely for half a day.

Only then did the main force of the enemy realize that what they were facing was not one of Tai Shici's divisions, but the eight divisions brought by Xu Ding!

Such a powerful military force is by no means something they can contend with.

Moreover, they also received news that Hefei has fallen!
Once Hefei falls.

It means that the whole of Yangzhou has fallen into the hands of Xu Ding.

"Your Majesty, the troops of the Western Shang Empire have fled in the direction of Li Yang..." Zhang Liao said.

"Good escape."

Xu Ding said: "Send a brigade to pursue it. By the way, we will capture Li Yang and raise warships. Our army will then rush to Li Yang, and after a few days, we will cross the river to fight."

"promise."

Zhang Liao conveyed Xu Ding's order.

After defeating the enemy.

The army camped and rested on the edge of the stone forest.

at night.

Xu Ding went to Li Yang on horseback.

From Shankou to Liyang, it is about twenty li.

It only took an hour to get there.

Why go deep into Li Yang in the middle of the night?
Because Xu Ding found out that his satellite monitoring system, at the mountain pass, was only a little bit short of detecting Wu County in Jiangdong.Wujun is where the wormhole is.

He wanted to see if there was an army coming out of the wormhole.

Also, what kind of scenes are around the wormhole.

Da da da.
Came to Liyang City.

Xu Ding stood on the tower, closed his eyes, and used the satellite monitoring system.

I saw a huge forest in the middle of Wu County.Now the woods have been cleared and the trees are piled around.There is a huge altar in the middle, and a white hole hangs in front of the altar.There seemed to be clouds stirring inside, spinning rapidly.

That is the wormhole.

There are two groups of soldiers in front of the wormhole, and there are also patrolling and standing guard troops around.

The defense is extremely tight.

Xu Ding originally thought about whether he should send Fenglin Huoshan to Jiangdong Wu County to occupy the wormhole, and cooperate with the large army to destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop.

It now appears that this idea was wrong.

No matter how good the special forces are at fighting, it is impossible to break through the iron-like defense of the enemy.

What's more, there are tens of thousands of enemy troops in Jiangdong, which are very strong.

"There is no movement yet, it's okay..." Xu Ding looked at it for a while, secretly rejoicing in his heart.

If the enemy passes through the wormhole again, add troops to Jiangdong.

He didn't have to fight this battle.

Just guard against Yangzhou directly.

The next day.

Lu Su and Jia Xu led a large army to come.

Camp behind Licheng.

Inside the Chamber.

Xu Dingchao said: "After my careful investigation, I found that the Western Shang Empire has three divisions, two brigades, and some guards in the Jiangdong area. The total total is about 4 people."

"This time, we mobilized eight divisions, with a total of more than 8 people."

"In addition, we can also transfer troops from Yangzhou, which can increase to [-]. In Nanchang, there is also Feng Xiao sitting in the town to resist the enemy's reinforcements from Jingzhou."

"I hope that everyone will have confidence. Work together to capture Jiangdong within a month and completely seal the wormhole! This is the ultimate goal of our operation."

After Xu Ding finished speaking, Jia Xu came out and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to seal the wormhole, can you send Fenglin Huohan? They are best at doing this."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it."

Xu Ding glanced at Jia Heng behind him.

Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the general is willing to go."

"Who told you to go, I won't allow it." Xu Ding did not agree.

Because he thought carefully that even the most elite special forces could not complete this task.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that the components of the special forces are specially designed to complete some tasks that cannot be completed by other troops. Destroying wormholes is the most important thing now, and no army can do it, and I, Feng Linhuo, But he is willing to give it a try. Why doesn't His Majesty agree?" Jia Heng asked.

Jia Xu also said: "Your Majesty will agree, let them try."

Xu Ding glanced at the two father and son.

You Qi didn't understand, Jia Xu knew that this task was very dangerous, so why did he let his son do it.Isn't this sending Jia Heng and Feng Linhuo to their deaths?

Xu Ding was silent for a while.
He asked, "Jia Heng, are you really willing to go?"

"The general is willing."

"Okay, I can promise you!" Xu Ding said: "However, I have to study carefully how to carry out this task. You can get ready first."

"promise."

Jia Heng responded excitedly.

Xu Ding continued: "The rest of the troops will sail across the river after the warship arrives in three days. We must show a momentum to let the Western Merchant Empire understand that our Huaxia Kingdom is not easy to invade."

"Yes."

Everyone roared loudly.

time flies.

blink of an eye.

Three days later.

The navy stationed at Guangling port sent ships to Licheng to listen.

Xu Ding followed Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, etc., and sent the soldiers to the opposite side of the river in warships.

but
The first batch of troops to go to Jiangdong was intercepted by the enemy in the middle of the Yangtze River, causing more than 2000 casualties.

According to Zhang Liao's report, the enemy had five large warships in the middle of the Yangtze River, and countless artillery pieces were placed on them.Once a ship passes, they will immediately carry out precise strikes.

The vanguard troops sent in the past were all beaten back in this way.

"Large battleship?"

Xu Ding glanced at Lu Su and asked, "Jiangdong, are there any large battleships?"

"So it didn't. But the Western Shang Empire has occupied Jiangdong for more than a year. Will they transport large warships from the wormhole? You must know that their warships are much stronger than ours." Lu Su road.

"Is there such a possibility?"

Xu Ding didn't quite believe it.

Because he found that the enemy can only send some small items over.The biggest thing is no bigger than a car or a tank.

If a warship is transported, the wormhole cannot fit it.

"Yes, I have!"

Tai Shici had a different opinion.

He had the same idea as Lu Su.

"The enemy must have transported warships from the wormhole. Otherwise, how could our vanguard be defeated in just half an hour?" Tai Shici said.

"Ahem..."

The generals in charge of commanding this battle all bowed their heads secretly.

"Wen He, what do you think?" Xu Ding asked.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think it may be the craftsmen of the Western Shang Empire. During this year, they transformed the original warships in Jiangdong to have this large battleship."

"This is a good thing for us."

"If we can capture their warships, let's study them carefully. Maybe we can build them too. It will be easier to control the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the future."

Jia Xu's words can be regarded as reaching Xu Ding's heart.
