Chapter 885 Recovering Jingzhou (1)

"There are a lot of troops."

Xu Ding sighed.

There are more than 3 enemy troops in Nanchang, and there are still [-] from Jingzhou.Add up more troops than Xu Ding has.

"Follow filial piety."

"The minister is here."

Xu Ding said: "You have been fighting with the enemy for several months, and you should know their strength well. Tell me, what is the combat effectiveness of this group of enemy? Compared with the troops in the Battle of Xuzhou, are their weapons and equipment stronger or weaker? "

Guo Jia replied: "Of course it is not as good as the enemy army in the Battle of Xuzhou."

"The [-] troops attacking Xuzhou included not only field brigades, but also nearly [-] mechanical troops. The enemy troops coming from Jingzhou are just ordinary troops."

"That's good."

Xu Ding breathed a sigh of relief.

He was worried that the enemy army was so large and powerful that the troops he brought would not be able to stop him.At that time, it will be very troublesome for this group of nearly [-] enemy troops to return to Jingzhou to defend.

The best way is to wipe out all the enemy troops with a burst of energy.

In this way, Jingzhou can be pacified in Nanchang.

After destroying the strength of the enemy's three brigades, he and Guo Jia went to Nanchang.

For the rest of the troops, a division was stationed in place and a brigade stood guard to the southwest and northeast.

Tens of thousands of troops followed Xu Ding and Guo Jia to garrison outside Nanchang.

Tens of thousands of troops were released there and set up camp, which immediately gave confidence to the soldiers guarding Nanchang.

Moreover, when the enemy got the news, they were also terrified.

They knew Xu Ding was coming.

Xu must be who?
That is the emperor of Huaxia Kingdom.

Since it is promised to come, the main force will definitely follow.

If they want to take Nanchang again, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky.

In Nanchang Mansion.

Xu Ding made a huge sand table, including Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangdong and other places.

After dark.

All will gather together.

Xu Ding said: "We have fought against the Western Shang Empire for nearly two years, and it's time to end it. The battle of Nanchang, as long as we arrange it properly, it is possible to wipe out the enemy. After that, we can take a good rest for a few years."

"Feng Xiao, tell me, how do you wipe out the enemy troops from Jingzhou?"

Guo Jia said: "Your Majesty, our troops are a little insufficient. Can we bring in some more troops from the Central Plains?"

"It's not that you don't know, how can we have so many troops now?"

Almost all the troops of the Huaxia Empire have been integrated into the first and second armies, so there are no more troops.

"Your Majesty, why have you forgotten that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Fancheng and Xinye? We can draw troops from there to join the battle. If we let Gan Ning's navy control the cattle to block the Neijiang River, we can send all the troops in Fancheng to the Jiang Xia. Then we will have a few more teachers to help us, and great things will be accomplished."

Xu Ding almost couldn't remember how many troops there were in Fancheng area.

He asked, "How many troops can be drawn?"

"About the garrison, there are about two divisions." Guo Jia replied.

"Only two teachers..."

"Your Majesty must not underestimate these two divisions. If they are used properly, they may be the key to destroying the enemy. Moreover, if we occupy Jiangxia, the enemy will not be able to escape by water. Either fight us or return to Jingzhou." Guo said. Jia analyzed.

"Let me think about it."

This was already the last battle with the Western Shang Empire, Xu Ding didn't want any surprises.

After careful consideration, he replied: "Okay, transfer the troops from Fancheng to two divisions."

"Your Majesty..." Jia Xu said at this time, "I think it's wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Guo Jia also looked at Jia Xu.

Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty, please think about the current situation in Jingzhou?"

"The enemy has transferred all their troops to Nanchang, and Jingzhou is empty. We didn't take advantage of this opportunity to capture Jingzhou, but transferred our troops to Jiangxia. Didn't we miss a good opportunity?"

"I suggest that the troops around Fancheng be mobilized to fight in Jingxiang and regain Jingzhou as soon as possible. This way the enemy will lose their ground. If we win the battle of Nanchang, they will have nowhere to escape."

Guo Jia said: "Wenhe, don't forget about Jiangxia. Jiangxia is a big gap. The enemy can go from there to Chaisang, and then return to Wanling and Jianye. This will add a lot of trouble to Lu Su. Moreover, it can also go around behind us, forming a double attack on us."

"This has to be guarded against."

Both of them have a point.

Xu Ding couldn't make up his mind for a while.

He found a compromise: "Otherwise, divide the troops. One division will attack Jingzhou, and the other will be stationed in Jiangxia. Although there are fewer troops, both sides can take care of it."

"What do you think, gentlemen?"

"Uh." The two looked at each other.

"The nine prefectures of Jingxiang have a vast land, rich resources, and a large population. I'm afraid it will be difficult to occupy them all with only one division. Because the enemy has not completely abandoned there, and there are still defenders in each city. The troops going to Jiangxia are not only To block that gap, if necessary, we have to advance southward, forming a pincer attack with us, which is conducive to annihilating the enemy army. If His Majesty arranges this, I am afraid that both sides will not be able to please." Jia Xu said.

"We don't have enough troops. We want to wipe out the enemy army. They don't have enough troops and they have to complete their own tasks. I know it's difficult for everyone, but this last battle, even if you have to bite the bullet." Xu Ding took a deep breath, Said: "The two divisions transferred from Fancheng are advancing towards Jingzhou and Jiangxia respectively. They seem to be insufficient in strength, but in fact they have already posed a huge threat to the enemy, making them fall into the encirclement without knowing it. And the rear Attacked by us, surrounded by enemies. I believe that we will win this battle."

"Yes."

In terms of decision-making, Xu Ding has always been very strong.

Don't look at Guo Jia and Jia Xu for advice, but actually already have a plan in mind.

And this plan, if there is no real reason to refute it, it will be difficult for Xu Ding to change it.

The two had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, just as I said, let's pass the order." Xu Ding held the command stick in one hand, shook it on the sand table, and finally landed on a mountain: "This mountain range is from the direction of Jingzhou. The only way to go. Calculated according to the distance, they will arrive here in a day. We are going to set up an ambush."

"Your Majesty, don't forget that before we head to this mountain range, we have to defeat the tens of thousands of defenders outside Nanchang City." Guo Jia said.

"So, we need to defeat the enemy within one day. At least open a gap in this direction. Separate the enemies outside the city." Xu Ding said.

Both Jia Xu and Guo Jia understood Xu Ding's strategy.

But
It seems a bit difficult to do it in one day.

"General Tai Shici."

"The end is here."

Tai Shici stood up.

Xu Ding said: "Take your third column as an advance team to attack the enemy army in the south. At that time, I will let all the artillery attack your two sides to prevent the enemy from coming to help. This way you can concentrate your strength , to deal with the enemy army in the south. Let me figure it out, the enemy you have to face is less than one division, and if you fight with twice as many troops, you should be sure of victory."

Tai Shici's third column originally had three reorganization divisions and 3 people.

However, after many wars, the force has shrunk somewhat.In addition, part of it is stationed in Hefei.Now only about five brigades have reached Nanchang.

Even so, Tai Shici was very confident.

He cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely complete the task!"

"Ah."

Xu Ding continued: "The rest of the ministries are on standby. Once General Tai Shici occupies that mountain range, our front will move forward."

"Only in that mountain range, using it as a battlefield, can we destroy the enemy better. And the enemy's troops in Nanchang are confined behind, and they cannot join their troops in Jingzhou."

Xu Ding arranged several generals in succession.

Launch a round of offensive against the enemy forces outside the city.

All the generals agreed.

They went to dispatch troops one after another.

this day.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Around Nanchang, it seems that the peace of the past has been restored.

But under this calmness, there was a murderous intent.

Tai Shici personally led five brigades and marched south.

Soon fought with nearly ten thousand enemy troops.

This is a tough battle that requires the troops participating in the battle to go all out.

It is even more necessary to cooperate with each other to have the possibility of winning.

Da da da.
On the long official road, a cavalry ran past.

This cavalry was running from the north to the south.

Tai Shici immediately ordered to wipe out the cavalry.

"beat!"

clap clap clap.
Rifle team, long range shooting.

Immediately blocked the enemy's way forward.

A burst of fire.
All the cavalry were dead on the spot.

Tai Shici took his personal guards to the battlefield to check, and found a letter from a general's arms.This is the enemy army in Nanchang, asking for help from Jingzhou.

"Humph!"

Tai Shici put away the letter and handed it to the guard beside him: "Send it to Nanchang and show it to His Majesty."

"promise."

The enemy's request for help shows that they know they are invincible and lack the confidence to fight.

This is good news for the Huaxia National Army.

Tai Shici finished his formation.

This mountain range has become an excellent battlefield for ambush and blocking.

Simultaneously.

The enemy troops to the east and north of Taishici began to panic.

They sent a division of troops to divide into two groups, trying to flank Tai Shici.

If successful, all efforts made by Tai Shici will be in vain.The enemy will also open up the main road, so that the Western Shang Empire troops from Jingzhou will rush to join them.

At that time, the battle of Nanchang will be difficult to fight.

But
Xu Ding had already prepared.

Before the enemy army got close to the mountain where Tai Shici was located, there were four mountain artillery battalions attacking the two wings.

Boom boom boom.
A dozen consecutive rounds of bombing.

The artillery fire passed through countless ridges and landed on the official road.

The enemy's reinforcements were immediately stunned.

Many of them died before they could react in time.

Even those who wanted to retreat were unable to retreat if they were rushed by the chaotic formation.

He was attacked by artillery fire and suffered heavy casualties.

"Withdraw, withdraw." The enemy is not made of iron, once the situation is unfavorable, he will lose the confidence to fight.With the order of a commander, a large number of troops fell back.

And this withdrawal was completely chaotic.

Tai Shici also sent out troops to attack, with outnumbered enemies, he combined with Xu Ding's artillery to drive the enemy back.

"it is good!"

Standing at the head of Nanchang City, Xu Ding saw this scene through the binoculars, and felt a little relieved.

"Wenhe."

"Yes." Jia Xu took a step forward and stood in front of Xu Ding.

Xu Ding said: "I suddenly have a bold idea, I wonder if it is feasible?"

"Please make it clear, Your Majesty."

"It's about fifteen miles from here to Taishici's third column. Although the road in the middle is empty, it is still possible to build a defensive line. We can deploy a division of troops to build a circular offensive every 1000 meters. Go to Tai Shici. In this way, the enemy will be divided into two parts. Let us concentrate our forces again, either attacking the left or attacking the right, and defeat each of them, and wipe out all the enemy troops in the Nanchang area." Xu Ding said.

"That's good, but... there's not enough time, right?" Jia Xu said.

"Why is it too late?"

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the enemy army from the direction of Jingzhou is almost here. It will take at least three to five days for us to divide the encirclement and defeat each of them. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous. We are very likely to be defeated by the enemy." Fang turned around and surrounded. At that time, Tai Shici's third column will be in danger." Jia Xu analyzed.

"It depends on whether Tai Shici can stop it. If he can stop the enemy from Jingzhou and we win again, it will be a victory in both the north and the south. The enemy will be defeated," Xu Ding said.

"If not..."

"If we can't, we will fall into a passive position, and Tai Shici's army is very likely to be wiped out. Your Majesty, this is a dangerous move." Jia Xu does not recommend this.

Because of the battle situation in Nanchang, they have a great advantage.

It won't be long before Fancheng's troops come over to block Jiangxia, and then escort them over from Jingzhou to steal the enemy's rear.After all, victory belongs to China, so there is really no need to take risks.

"Since ancient times, the use of soldiers has been to use risks. Without risks, there is no victory."

"If we don't use this risky move, when will we win?" Xu Dingfei is a reckless person. He is not only thinking about the battle situation between Nanchang and Jingzhou, but also Jiangdong Jianye and Wujun.

I don't know how long Lu Su can last.

If you can't hold on, the Western Shang Empire will send troops again, and all previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, the battle here must be resolved quickly.

Jia Xu smiled suddenly: "Maybe His Majesty's decision is correct, so let's do as His Majesty wants."

Jia Xu was speechless again.

You have to ask him about things that have already been decided.

He raised a different opinion and did not accept it.

"Let's send the order."

"Yes."

Jia Xu passed down the order.

night.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the coolness is infinite.

Xu Chu, deputy brigade commander of the 33rd brigade, led [-] soldiers from his headquarters out of the city to build fortifications along the official road.

Xu Chu has been in the new army for these years, and he has learned some skills.

Especially following the generals of the military academy, I learned about the new army's combat methods.

This time he was ordered to build fortifications and put all the skills he had learned into use.

First send out two regiments of troops, and place a company every 1000 meters until Tai Shici's position.There are dozens of positions.Among them, the central region is the most vulnerable to ambushes, where the terrain is flat, which is not conducive to ambush operations. Xu Chu sent two battalions of troops to set up defenses in advance to prepare for the coming enemy troops.

The remaining battalion, and the company of guards, followed him.

Such an arrangement can be described as witty.

The reason is that at the two ends of this battle line, there is Xu Ding's army at one end and Tai Shici at the other end, so the enemy troops dare not attack.Xu Chu's heavy garrison in the center is equivalent to making up for the weakness of the front line.
