Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 886 Recovering Jingzhou (2)

There are also Xu Chu's four companies as a mobile force.

Wherever he encounters the enemy, he can rush to help.

Make sure that the entire front is under control.

After the troops were sent out, the enemy troops on the two wings did change.However, looking at Xu Chu's formation, he was a little afraid to attack.

Because he was not sure, Xu Chu was defeated in a short time.

If Xu Ding and Tai Shici came to help, they would be defeated.

All the enemy troops watched helplessly as Xu Chu built dozens of circular fortifications.

In just one night, you're done.

Xu Ding was a little surprised: "Sir, the enemy has already transferred the troops to the flanks. They wanted to attack several times, but they didn't. What's the reason?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know that they are afraid of His Majesty and General Tai Shici?" Guo Jia said with a light smile, "Xu Chu is a talented general, and he completed this task with only one brigade."

"I didn't think of it either. He has really learned a lot over the years."

Compared with the future graduates from the military academy, Xu Ding prefers to reuse Xu Chu, Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, Ma Chao, these veterans.Because they are absolutely loyal.

Even if the knife rests on the neck, he will not admit cowardice.

It's just that the world has changed, and cold weapons have been eliminated.

The veterans are not very good at commanding the new army to fight, and gradually they are less effective.

Xu Ding didn't want to neglect them, he wanted to reuse them a long time ago, but he was afraid that his command would make a mistake and cause a catastrophe.

What happened to Xu Chu this time made Xu Ding see hope.

Even an idiot like Xu Chu can command so well, let alone other generals?Surely they can learn too.

Immediately, Xu Ding said: "Feng Xiao, after this battle is over, we will open another military academy to gather all the generals and teach them to command the new army."

"I understand."

Guo Jia also had this intention long ago.

The layout of Xu Chu's battle line is complete.

The enemy army was completely divided.

To the left of Nanchang, there are four enemy brigades.To the right of Nanchang, there are two divisions.

They are all standing on the official path, and their defenses are extremely strict.

Xu Ding observed through the satellite monitoring system all night, but it was difficult to decide which side to fight first.How to win.Because the fortifications built by the enemy are extremely strong.

There are also caves for hiding soldiers to avoid shells.

Even if a large number of shells are used, it may not be effective.

Jia Xu remonstrated: "Let's attack the four brigades in the west first. They are weak and difficult to compete with our army. We can easily win."

"No, no..." Guo Jia had a different opinion: "We should be strong first and then weak. The reason is very simple. If you attack the weak first, you will still have to face the strong enemy in the east after repelling the enemy army. If you attack the strong first , You only need to send the head of the enemy general to the enemy army in the west, they will be in chaos, how dare they resist again. It will be easier for our army to win."

"Feng Xiao is right, you should be strong first and then weak."

Xu Ding also agrees.

"It's my minister who didn't think carefully." Jia Xu was flexible and changed his words immediately.

"it is good!"

Xu Ding said: "Since the two gentlemen agree, let's do this."

"Feng Xiao, go and mobilize troops. Concentrate seven to nine brigades and launch a fierce attack on the enemy in the east. This time, I will personally supervise the battle and win the victory in the shortest possible time."

"promise."

Guo Jia agreed.

the next day.

early in the morning.

Jia Xu defended Nanchang.

Guo Jia and Xu Ding led a large army and went straight to the enemy army in the east.

It is not far from Nanchang.

In just half an hour, we arrived at the battlefield.

Guo Jia sent a regiment of troops as a vanguard to test the enemy's firepower.

Then came the two brigades, going hand in hand.

Xu Ding and Guo Jia, at the back of the two brigades, with the remaining troops, were ready to rush to help at any time.

clap clap clap.
The two armies quickly exchanged fire.

The troops in front were all in a bloody battle.

吁吁
Xu Ding eagerly reined in the horse, raised his binoculars to look, and suddenly frowned and said, "That's not right."

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?"

"Sir, please take a look..." Xu Ding handed the binoculars to Guo Jia: "The enemy's firepower configuration is a bit wrong. According to a normal confrontation, their light and heavy machine guns should be cross-matched to form a fire blockade on the battlefield. But this enemy army, It didn't. The firepower disposition was scattered and there was no artillery support."

"Indeed."

After seeing it, Guo Jia also felt strange.

Having fought against the Western Shang Empire for so many years, he knows their tactics well.

"Could it be that the enemy has withdrawn? Only a part of the troops are left to delay the time. So, their firepower has weakened?" Guo Jia guessed.

"It's possible."

Xu Ding ordered: "Hurry up and send people to investigate. And ask the two brigades in front to detour to the two wings and launch a fierce attack on the enemy to test the enemy's reality. If the enemy really withdraws, we will take advantage of the situation. Attack and kill, occupy the front position in one fell swoop."

"promise."

Guo Jia sent several messengers to send orders separately.

The troops fighting ahead, after receiving the order, executed it meticulously.Tens of thousands of troops are organized.In the eastern part of Nanchang, there was a fierce confrontation with the enemy.

Boom boom boom.
The enemy has no artillery, but Xu Ding does.

In order to test out the reality of the enemy, two artillery battalions were used.

Plus two infantry brigades and a vanguard regiment.

"beat!"

clap clap clap.
The battle began, and the soldiers took the lead bravely.

Thousands of guns fired towards the enemy's position.

It's like a storm mixed with hailstones, and its momentum is astonishing.

Xu Ding and Guo Jia watched the battle from behind.

soon.

Guo Jia said with certainty: "Your Majesty, the enemy army on the opposite side will not exceed one regiment."

"En." Xu Ding nodded and said, "I don't understand one thing."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Where did the enemy army go? There are our scouts and secret agents around Nanchang. Once they make any changes, they will be discovered. Moreover, there is no way to go in a radius of tens of miles."

"Your Majesty's question is very correct, and I'm also thinking about it." Guo Jia didn't understand either.

Continue to observe for a while.

Xu Ding was really impatient, and said to Dian Wei who was at the side: "Dian Wei sent an order to let our troops in front take the position as soon as possible. The battalions in the rear are ready to receive their fortifications."

"promise."

Under the attack of two brigades and one regiment, the enemy army on the opposite side gradually became exhausted and finally retreated.

Xu Ding took the troops and went up to take over the territory.

Just then, an unexpected thing happened
I saw two enemy troops coming from the rear.One group has a large number of people, about one division, and one group has a smaller number, about one regiment, but the weapons in their hands are mostly machine guns with extremely fierce firepower.

The two armies, not far apart, advanced side by side.

Seeing that they were about to kill Xu Ding's rear army.

"Let the troops of the rear army block these two enemy forces." Guo Jia ordered.

"Yes."

The accompanying generals all rushed to the direction of the rear army.

Xu Ding observed with a telescope for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

Guo Jia didn't understand what he meant, and said, "Your Majesty can still laugh, but we were ambushed."

"I'm just joking. The generals of the Western Shang Empire are getting smarter and smarter. They know how to set us up and lure us into the bait." Xu Ding pointed to the distance: "Look, sir, the terrain we passed just now is relatively The vastness and flatness are not conducive to the enemy's hiding, nor is it conducive to their attack. Therefore, we are lured to their position and then outflanked from the rear. In this way, they can."

"Report!"

Before Xu Ding finished speaking, a rider flew over from a distance: "Your Majesty, an enemy army has been found ahead, with a number of tens of thousands."

ahead?

Xu Ding and Guo Jia turned around at the same time.

Through the telescope, you can clearly see that there are tens of thousands of enemies, forcing them to come.

They are not moving fast, and they seem to be in no hurry to join the battle.

"His Majesty.."

"Don't panic, send troops to fight quickly." Xu Ding said with a cold face.

"Yes."

Guo Jia sent troops to go.

Xu Ding snorted: "The enemy wants to surround us and eat us up. I still don't believe that their strength is less than half of ours, so they can trap us?"

"If it was before, maybe it could be trapped, but now...it's absolutely impossible!"

For this point, Xu Ding has absolute confidence.

Guo Jia realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately ordered all troops to build a defense line on the spot and prepare to defend against the enemy.Moreover, when building the line of defense, nearly two divisions were dispatched to resist the encircling enemy forces.

"Kill..."

The two armies engaged in a scuffle.

Xu Ding asked people to build a command post in the central region.

as a temporary place to stay.

All the fortifications were built around the command post and extended five miles outward.

In this way, the enemy's artillery can no longer pass through the blockade.

Boom boom boom.
The enemy brought a large amount of artillery fire and engaged in an artillery battle with Huaxia.

Both armies paid a heavy price.

Guo Jia observed carefully for a long time, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. We should fight quickly. Don't forget that our original intention here is to catch the enemy by surprise and eliminate them in the shortest possible time. .Now we are stuck in a stalemate with the enemy, and the situation is not in our favor.”

"Sir, don't worry, this is just the beginning." Xu Ding pulled him to sit down, and said with a wry smile, "Didn't we fall into an ambush? To be on the safe side, first build fortifications, and then fight to the death with the enemy."

"After another hour, we will try to launch a full-scale counterattack."

"Now let the soldiers defend first."

"Yes." Guo Jia went to make arrangements.

Time gradually passed.

Half an hour later.

With the command post as the center, the fortifications within a radius of five miles have all been dug.All the troops were transferred to the central region, waiting for an opportunity.

Xu Ding went outside and inspected the troops in person.

"Soldiers, you probably all know that there are tens of thousands of enemy troops attacking from the west and east. If we can't defend this area for a few miles, we may be pinched to death. Therefore, we Decided to take the initiative to attack and fight the enemy to the death. I want to ask you, are you afraid?" Xu Ding shouted.

"Don't be afraid..."

All the soldiers responded.

"Okay, the soldiers are all brothers who have fought with me for many years. They have experienced hundreds of battles and are invincible. The battles we have experienced are countless, and the dangers we have encountered are a hundred times more dangerous than the current situation. times! I believe that as long as the soldiers are willing to stand up and fight, it will be an easy task to defeat the enemy in front of them."

"Listen to my orders now..."

Xu Ding divided the troops into two parts.

Some of them faced the enemy in the east, and some faced the enemy in the west.

Except for those stationed at the fortifications, the number of troops sent out is about the same as the number of enemy troops.

This is destined to be a close battle.

At this time, behind Tai Shici.

Xu Chu led a brigade to garrison the front lines under his jurisdiction.

"General, our scouts noticed that there seems to be a change in the enemy army in the west." A battalion commander ran into Xu Chu's camp.

Xu Chu was secretly drinking, when he saw the soldiers barging in, he quickly hid the wine.

"Ahem..." Xu Chu sat up straight, and snorted, "The enemy army in the west is only two brigades, dare to be rampant? You just said that they have a change, what is the change?"

The battalion commander replied: "General, they seem to be gathering troops, and they seem to be attacking."

"Is this true?"

"The last general dare not lie."

Xu Chu rushed out of the tent, ran to the top of a distant hill, and looked west.

Sure enough, he saw the enemy camp and was gathering soldiers and horses.

"Come on!"

"exist."

Xu Chu roared: "Quickly pass on the order to move the battalions and prepare to meet the enemy. All the soldiers of the advance battalion enter the circular trench and are not allowed to attack without my order. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed."

"Yes."

Xu Chu was standing on the top of the mountain, staring fixedly into the distance with his binoculars.

It wasn't until the enemy came out of the camp and charged towards his position that Xu Chu ran back to the camp: "These thieves are so daring, even dare to provoke me!"

Lu Heng, the head of the regiment, said: "Obviously, the enemy knows about it, and we are short of troops."

"Even if the troops are insufficient, I'm not afraid." Xu Chu said: "Lu Heng, hurry up and set them up. Except for the soldiers stationed in the ring fortifications, leave them to me. I'm going to outflank and defeat the enemy."

"The general can't..."

"Why?"

Lu Heng said: "The enemy's military strength is more than twice that of ours. We are reluctant to hold this front line, so how can we take the initiative to attack? If we lose victory, the front line is broken again. Wouldn't it be that your majesty is in danger? ?"

"You're right." Xu Chu gradually calmed down.

The habit of fighting for many years made him only know how to charge forward when he encountered an enemy.

If Lu Heng hadn't reminded him, he would have made another mistake.

"Stand firm first, don't let the enemy break through our front line. In addition, send someone to send a message to Tai Shici. He has three divisions there. He can send a brigade back at random, and he can block the enemy." Xu Chu ordered.

"Yes, the general will send someone there immediately."

On this front there were three regiments and two battalions.

All in all, there are about [-] troops.

But the enemy has more than 7000 soldiers.

In this wilderness, there is no danger to defend, and those with more troops naturally have the upper hand.

It was not easy for Xu Chu to hold onto this place.

Half an hour later, the front line defense was completed.

Enemy troops have also arrived on the battlefield.

Boom boom boom.
The enemy used a lot of artillery to bombard Xu Chu's circular position indiscriminately.The soldiers were hiding in the trenches, not daring to show their heads, and there was no way to fight back.

Xu Chu also retreated into the tent.

"The enemy's artillery is too fierce, we can't get in at all." Lu Heng, head of the 153 regiment, said anxiously.
