"So, you want to trap Zhang Zhidong here?"

Two hours ago, Zhang Bing received a report that the enemy was exchanging fire with unknown troops at the Daxi River, and he had a faint premonition in his heart.

Unexpectedly, these two guys really came to support.

However, their idea of trapping Zhang Zhidong here is still unrealistic.

"That's right, the positions of our three divisions have already surrounded the whole of Fengjie, aren't they?" Seeing that Zhang Bing almost wrote Jiang Xinjiang's suspicions on his face, Li Qinyan had no choice but to explain.

Zhang Zhidong's subordinate previously relied on Fengjie to Zhang Bing's position in the southwest of Fengjie, which also led to the fact that most of Zhang Zhidong's troops passed through the Daxi River, and Zhang Bing's position extended from the south bank of the Yangtze River to the west bank of the Daxi River.

Yuan Mingzhang, Li Qinyan's subordinates, and Zhang Bing's troops, who controlled the east bank of the Daxi River, surrounded Zhang Zhidong's troops.

Although it sounds ridiculous that 30,000 people surround 50,000 people, Li Qinyan believes that it can be completely surrounded by the firepower advantage of heavy machine guns and the topography of the highlands west of the Daxi River and Fengjie.

"And in addition to the soldiers, there are tens of thousands of civilians in Fengjie, and it is absolutely impossible for a single Fengjie to support the consumption for too long."

With a little cruelty, Li Qinyan opened his mouth and said that food is always an unavoidable solution in war.

With a small city like Fengjie, maintain a long-term supply of 100,000 people?

Dream on! There is very little cultivated land here! There are many places that can be cleared without wasteland!

As for the miserable situation of civilians after the food shortage? This is war!

"You're right, but Zhang Zhidong, if he wants to retreat, he can retreat at any time!" Zhang Bing said with a complicated expression.

"How?"

"There's a good chance he's coming from a fleet that wasn't damaged, so he can escape at any time!"

Although the density of the enemy's gunboats' firepower had dropped a lot, it was only a gunboat, and after the observation post was removed, the coordinates of the transport ship had not been crossed.

Therefore, there are more than ninety percent of the transport ships that are retained!

If Zhang Zhidong didn't have these transport ships, Li Qinyan's idea four would be fine, but now ......

"This ......"

Li Qinyan looked at the map silently, if Zhang Zhidong could indeed retreat at any time, this operation would be in vain!

"Shiza, the enemy just fired a burst of guns and then ceased fire!" The soldier looking at the mirror suddenly reported a strange phenomenon.

What to say, Li Qinyan said secretly.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all understood what each other meant.

It was already obvious that the guns were released before the evacuation, so that the enemy could not clearly judge the situation and did not dare to continue the pursuit.

"I'm really going to run!" Yuan Mingzhang went to the observation mirror to take a look, and the black shadows in the distance were receding like a tide.

"Do you think someone else is a pig's brain? In this kind of war in which our side has the upper hand, how can that old fox continue to fight. Zhang Bing couldn't help but sarcastically.

Zhang Zhidong, an old fox, fought back and forth with the French on the battlefield in Vietnam, and when he encountered such an unfavorable situation, it was also a normal choice to avoid the edge for the time being.

"His grandmother's! Wouldn't it make sense for us to come all the way over?! Yuan Mingzhang said angrily, "Launch an assault on all fronts!" No matter how much you have to bite him down! ”

"you, the situation is unclear now, not to mention that we just subjectively judge that they want to retreat, even if they really want to retreat, they will definitely leave behind the broken troops, so catch up, it will definitely be overshadowed!"

Yuan Mingzhang lost his mind in this situation, which does not mean that he has also lost his mind.

It is too unlikely that the enemy did not leave the broken rear troops, and Zhang Zhidong, the old fox, is not a rookie like them who has just entered the battlefield.

Even if they are rookies, it is almost impossible for such a low-level loophole to appear in the plan, and if they catch up like this, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

"Just watch them run away like this?! This is all the main force of Zhang Zhidong! After annihilating these 50,000 people, the lake (meow) and the north lake (meow) and the south can be directly occupied! Yuan Mingzhang said angrily, the credit of the two provinces? He doesn't like that.

It's just that if the commander has three provinces, the probability of being exterminated by the imperial court will drop again, and if he uses one province to fight against the imperial court, no matter how he thinks about it, he feels impossible.

"Then you too will be destroyed! Qin Yan, pull this reckless man! Don't let the troops you bring with him spoil them! ”

Zhang Bing said coldly, Yuan Mingzhang is this problem, he can't stand this feeling of punching on cotton, if it weren't for the other qualities that are really good, the eighth place will replace him.

"Wait until tomorrow, if it is determined that they retreat, we should also withdraw, just by virtue of this one time, the Wanzhou Fort and the Yudong defense line should be repaired, and at that time, the commander's plan should also be completed."

He scratched his head, which was reflected under the oil lamp, if Zhang Zhidong really retreated, then this mission would be completed.

"No problem, Old Yuan."

"Signal Soldier! Signal Soldiers! Go, find a clever point, go to show grace, and tell them to withdraw with the captives to the defense line of Yudong. ”

Yuan Mingzhang called the signal soldiers to convey this order in an unhappy tone, and according to his assumption, these soldiers would follow the follow-up troops to attack the north of Lake (Meow) South Lake (Meow)!!

"Zhang Bald! Call your artillery to shell these points! ”

"Don't use that tone! Let me see...... These points? Hey, what is this? You've got a really good brain. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, scream! Put on a cardinality, and then these three points, a cardinality. ”

The several points pointed out by Yuan Mingzhang were all the places where the attacking troops withdrew down the mountain.

Even the most experienced artilleryman is not difficult to analyze the position that needs to be shelled as quickly as he is, which is also one of the important reasons why Yuan Mingzhang was able to become a division commander with a bad personality in the first place.

"Okay man, I know you're in a bad mood, so you don't have to."

"You ask Qin Yan? We rode for fourteen hours in a row! It was so turbulent that it was about to fall apart, but after coming here, the old fox actually ran away! I!! ”

"Forget it, I'll have to fight this old guy sooner or later."

Zhang Bing sighed, now they really started to rebel! As long as Zhang Zhidong is still on the side of the imperial court, he will definitely fight.

The roar of artillery fire rang out, although the situation of the landing point of the cannonballs could not be seen, but just by inference, it was enough to make Yuan Mingzhang feel a little happy, and it could be regarded as providing a little comfort for the depressed mood.

"Hmph, this cannon sound can give people a little comfort then!"
