Chapter 361: Cousin, Can I Trust You?
A cannonball, bouncing and jumping into a Baath Army formation, suddenly there were three or four soldiers screaming and being beaten to a blur of flesh and blood.
Of course, the luck of the phalanx that was directly hit in this way was very bad, although the Xishan Army had the support of Portuguese artillery, but in such an early morning when it was still a little dark, the artillery hit rate was not high, and in fact, the current Portuguese Army was like that.
The officers were overjoyed to see that the Xishan Army, which had been huddled in a ball, actually began to take the initiative to attack, and felt that the emperor of the Xishan Dynasty must be dizzy.
Ye Kai listened to the report with a pale face, and the mountain peak sent by Ah Shan still arrived in front of Mo Guanfu and the others, but it was only less than two hours faster.
The person helped down the mountain peak that had run half to death, and the anger in his heart burned Ye Kai for a while.
It's not that he's angry about anything else, but he's angry that he actually forgot about Ruan Yue who is entrenched in Quy Nhon, these days he has thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't think about Ruan Yue.
According to the report of Valentin, who had just returned, the Cossacks had already found a large number of troops in the lower reaches of the Majiang River.
It is observed that it is the alliance of the South China pirates and Ruan Yue, numbering more than 60,000, equipped with a large number of arquebuses and old-fashioned half-snake guns, as well as various old small cannons similar to the tiger squat cannon of the Ming Dynasty, the firepower is not weak, and it is expected that there will be another hour and a half to reach the Ma River.
It is no wonder that from early morning to now, the Tay Son Army commanded by Nguyen Hue has launched several large-scale attacks unusually, originally to attract the attention of the revival army, and Nguyen Hue must have received the news that Mo Guanfu and others were about to arrive.
But it's okay! Ye Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Ah Shan was clever enough, otherwise he might really be a heel this time!
It turned out that whether it was the fortress group that Ruan Hui was desperately building or defending by the Ma River, it was all to delay himself on the Ma River and want his own division to be tired.
And in terms of practical effect, Ruan Hui did it to a certain extent.
From the time the army went south to the present, Ye Kai has been on the Majiang River for almost half a month, and Vietnam, which is almost close to summer, is not a fun place.
Three days of rain at both ends, as soon as it rains, the entire Majiang River is a piece of mud, and when you go down, the mud can directly reach people's feet and necks.
There is a large amount of humid air, and there seems to be a musty smell on the body of the people who are soaking, and Ye Kai's camping site has changed several places.
What's even more annoying is that the broken place of Yonglu County not only has a lot of rain, but also has a low altitude, and it is easy to get windy.
Even if it is in the tropics, it is in May and June of the lunar calendar, and it is still a little cold and gloomy when it rains.
These days, in order to ensure that the soldiers have hot meals and hot soup for three meals, the firewood team has dispersed more than ten kilometers away!
In this way, there were no longer a few sick people, and there was a general atmosphere of anxiety in the army.
Rainy, muddy, using troops in the rainy season, surprisingly concentrated, and an army of more than 100,000 people, Ye Kai couldn't help but admire the famous Ruan Guangzhong in history, the tricks that can be used, and the DBUFF that can be given to Ye Kai, Ruan Hui is basically all on it.
Ye Kai estimated that after Mo Guanfu and Ruan Yue arrived, as long as they waited for a rainy day, which was not conducive to the use of firearms, Ruan Hui would come to fight him!
However, now that he knows Ruan Hui's real plan, there is still an hour and a half left, and Ye Kai can still plan it.
And even if Mo Guanfu and the others arrived, it would be impossible to attack immediately, at least they would have to repair it.
Of course, Ye Kai couldn't wait until that time, because there were still some fortresses on the right side of the Ma River that had not been pulled out cleanly, and once the 60,000 people of Mo Guanfu and Ruan Yue got into the fortress group, they would be able to form a left-right flank attack on the revival army.
And whether to fight or not is in the hands of others, and they can choose to come to the decisive battle on a rainy day.
30,000 to 100,000, if it is a sunny day, Ye Kai is not afraid, but if it is a light rainy day, completely hand-to-hand combat with cold weapons, then the victory or defeat is really not certain!
So he now has two choices, one is to send the reserve Chen Wenqi and others to block Mo Guan Fu and Ruan Yue, prevent them from entering the fortress group by the Ma River, and then attack Ruan Hui with all his strength, and defeat Ruan Hui before Mo Guan Fu and the others are repaired.
The second is to go directly to block Mo Guanfu, and after defeating his 60,000 people, he will return to the division to trap Ruan Hui to death.
But both of these options have flaws, if they choose to block Mo Guanfu and defeat Ruan Hui, then Ruan Hui's 40,000 people have already chosen a position, and they will definitely not be able to hold out, not to mention whether they can fight or not, there will definitely be great casualties.
If you choose to defeat Mo Guan Fu first, the current situation is that the first division of the main force has been involved with Ruan Hui's side, and it will definitely not be able to retreat for a while, at least for an hour and a half.
Then there were only some troops drawn from the second and third divisions on the two flanks, and the second and third divisions had also been fighting with the Xishan Army for more than ten days, and there was not much to be transferred in the urgency.
What is left around Ye Kai is only Chen Wenqi's regiment, Huang Guangyi's regiment, Ruan Wenxun and Huang Fengyi's brothers' two divisions, and the Han Erxiao Army's more than 2,000 people, adding up to 112,000.
There are a lot of people, but these people are basically troops with inferior combat effectiveness, even the most elite Chen Wenqi regiment is also a team with lower combat effectiveness in the revival army.
It shouldn't be a big problem for them to occupy the geographical position and block the attack, and the initiative to attack will be suspended, don't go to more than 10,000 to beat more than 60,000 people, if you can't eat, you can't say anything, and your front teeth will be broken!
What to do? A choice must be made!
The staff officers in the camp were all frowning and caught in a dilemma, which one was risky for the current Renaissance Army.
If you want to be safe, you should choose to fight Ruan Hui first, so that even if you can't beat it, you can choose to retreat.
But Ye Kai shook his head, he has made such a big move in North Vietnam in the past few months, and he has not caused too much trouble, that is, he has repeatedly beaten Nguyen Hui with more and less.
This made the local tyrants of North Vietnam weigh themselves first when they wanted to resist.
And if he is forced to retreat by Ruan Hui this time, in the mouth of others, it will not be forced to retreat, it must be a fiasco, and then these unconvinced guys will definitely start to make trouble!
Ye Kai's core is more than 10,000 people, without his prestige, relying on more than 10,000 people alone will definitely not be able to suppress a place as big as North Vietnam.
Moreover, it is the rainy season in North Vietnam, the roads are muddy, and with so many heavy weapons, it is not easy to retreat easily, but if you don't do it, it will really lead to a rout.
All kinds of results, Ye Kai quickly calculated in his mind, everyone was waiting for his decision, thinking about it for about two or three minutes, Ye Kai turned his head to look at Chen Wenqi.
"Cousin! Can I trust you? ”
The reason why he asked this was that Ye Kai had decided to go and defeat the army sent by Mo Guanfu and Ruan Yue first.
These 60,000 people are a confluence of two groups, and among Mo Guanfu's South China pirates, there are several forces, and they are not as numerous and powerful as they seem.
Also, they came from a long journey and were bound to be tired, and it should be much better to beat them than to fight Nguyen Hue.
Hearing Ye Kai call his cousin, Chen Wenqi, who was prone to tears when he was excited, felt a little tearful again.
Since Gan Ma Xi made a big taboo on his own initiative, Chen Wenqi, one of Ye Kai's right-hand men, has seen his status within Fuxing Company drop sharply.
Now Huang Laosi, who was originally competing with him, is already the commander of the main division of the brigadier general, and it is said that after the seal is sealed, a marquis will not be able to escape.
And he has been thrown into the Third Division with the police army as the team, and he is still a colonel, and he has no part in the title.
"King! Please give me a chance, give a chance to the brethren of the 2nd Regiment of the 3rd Division, who are the most heroic and combative soldiers in the Revival Army, no worse than anyone else! ”
'Benefit' from Chen Wenqi's foolishness, the third company of the main company of the revival company when Lin Niangniang Temple was reorganized, is now about to become a ragtag army!
The whole regiment held its breath and wanted to be ashamed and become the trump card in the revival army again.
So much so that in this regiment, you said that the third division and the second regiment were all depressed, and when it came to the third company, it must be in high spirits, and they were eager for a snow before the shame!
"Good! Cousin, I'm with you this time, let's go together to defeat Mo Guan and help this dog thing! ”
