Because positional warfare, even if it is a stormy operation, can allow the South China Navy to give better play to the firepower advantage of artillery, especially heavy artillery, and at the same time, they can also use roundabout infiltration tactics.

And many young officers of the South Korean Navy will only play roundabout infiltration!

At the same time, because of the huge firepower of the Southern Navy, especially the superiority of artillery, whether it is Jian Minggang, Shao Bing, Du Zhikuan, or even the current Xu Teng, in order to reverse their own firepower inferiority, they invariably chose to fight a positional battle with the Southern Navy, trying to offset the firepower advantage of the Southern Navy with fortifications.

But it still doesn't work!

In the face of the heavy artillery of the Southern Navy, the so-called fortifications of these years were the same as paper-paste, and the Dingjiang Fortress and the Chongguang Fortress could not withstand the 150-millimeter heavy artillery of the Southern Navy, let alone these field fortifications.

In fact, a better way for them is to choose to fight mobile warfare in the field with the South China Navy.

But unfortunately, after taking Hexi County, the current Southern Navy has the largest cavalry force in the entire Nanhai Prefecture!

Playing mobile combat with the Southern Navy, which has forty or fifty thousand cavalry troops, Xu Tengke never thought about it!

Didn't you see that in the roundabout troops of the Southern Navy, in addition to the two infantry divisions, there are also three cavalry divisions!

These are three cavalry divisions, and the current Xu Teng can't draw enough cavalry troops to contend with them.

Positional warfare could not be defeated, nor could mobile warfare be defeated, and the destruction of the Hetai Army became natural.

In the evening of the same day, three divisions of the frontal unit of the South China Navy, with the support of heavy artillery units, launched an all-out attack, and in just one hour after the battle began, they had already overcome many lines of defense of the enemy.

By this time, artillery units, especially those of a hundred mm cannons, had already begun to launch artillery strikes on the depth of enemy troops.

The effective firing range of the 100-millimeter cannon is 6 or 7 thousand meters, and in the case that the enemy's artillery units cannot effectively counter-shell, these 100-millimeter cannons are directly deployed in the front, and under the guidance of observers, they can even directly provide artillery support to the roundabout corps that is detouring to the rear......

As for the 100-millimeter front-loading rifled guns in Hetai County, they also played some role at the beginning of the battle, and they were intercepted by artillery to a certain extent, and they could also hit an effective range of two or three thousand meters, but after the artillery was opened to expose its position, it was quickly destroyed by the artillery of the Southern Navy directly carrying out counter-artillery attacks.

More than an hour after the battle broke out, the artillery strength of the Hetai Army could basically be declared annihilated, and at the same time, most of the defensive lines of the front line had been breached.

The front-line warring forces on both sides are intertwined and indistinguishable from each other.

But this situation also announced that the Hetai Army had officially lost the opportunity to retreat.

In the case of the battle between the two sides, Xu Teng gave a retreat order, and the whole line collapsed in minutes.

What to do?

Xu Teng made a difficult decision in the first half of the night, he ordered the front-line troops to resist on the spot and not to retreat, while he led the about 20,000 people who had been evacuated in the early stage to evacuate to the east.

It is impossible and unrealistic for the whole army to retreat, what Xu Teng can do is to evacuate first with the remaining 20,000 people, as for the remaining 60,000 or 70,000 people, alas, what else can be done, don't do it!

Xu Teng ran fast, and many of the 20,000 people were cavalry, plus they retreated lightly, so the retreat speed was quite fast.

By the time the cavalry troops led by Song You returned to their positions the next day, Xu Teng had already escaped from the encirclement with more than 10,000 people in advance, and then retreated all the way to Hetai County without looking back.

On the morning of the next day, Lin Ziran received a report that he had discovered a Hetai army of about 15,000 men, and that it had taken advantage of the darkness of the night last night and the fact that the roundabout troops had not yet arrived to pick out the encirclement in advance.

More than 10,000 of the 150,000 people escaped, Lin Ziran could accept this, and he didn't even care if Xu Teng was also inside.

What if Xu Teng escaped with more than 10,000 people, his cavalry troops could pursue him!

Even if he took a step back and said that he couldn't catch up, let Xu Teng escape back to Hetai County with more than 10,000 people, so what?

There are still tens of thousands of people left in Hetai County, and tens of thousands of people don't count on their own army.

The reunification of Nanhai Prefecture is inevitable!

Xu Teng can't stop himself from unifying Nanhai Prefecture!

So even if he learned that more than 10,000 enemy troops had taken out the encirclement, Lin Ziran was still calm.

"Let Song You chase after him with the cavalry corps, but don't chase too hard, don't come hard, stay as much as you can, don't force it!" Lin Ziran briefly glanced at the battle map and then ordered: "Then send an order to Xu Zhongshu, let him take the first division and the fourth division to build a defensive line, and solidify the pocket of the encirclement." ”

"Don't stop the attack of the frontal troops, keep fighting!"

The top priority now is to take down the Hetai army in the encirclement, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 people here, no matter what, we must take them down first.

At this time, Luo Mazi beside him stepped forward and said, "My lord, do you want to send someone to persuade you to surrender?" I see that Xu Teng has already run away, and his subordinates should not resist to the end, if they can be persuaded to surrender, they can save ammunition and avoid indifferent casualties. ”

Lin Ziran nodded slightly: "That's the reason, you arrange someone to persuade you to surrender!" ”

Luo Mazi immediately said: "I understand my humble duties!" ”

After saying that, Luo Mazi turned around and went out, and after getting out of the tent, Luo Mazi squinted and looked up to the east, which was the direction of the Hetai army.

Who should be sent to any of this kind of persuasion, there are many people under him, but either they are people who are not able to see the light and do private things, or they are purely people in the adjutant's room, and it is not easy to choose a few people who want to persuade him to surrender.

As for himself, he never thought of going over to persuade him to surrender, and in case he met a few stupid people, it was very possible to shoot himself.

Even if this mission is actually a messenger, even if the two sides are at war, as long as the other party is not too stupid, it is estimated that it will not hurt a messenger who delivers a message.

But what if you run into a fool?

So it's better to send someone!

During this time, although Luo Mazi was ruthlessly admonished by Lin Ziran, and his life has changed a lot, he did not giggle as before, nor did he talk about escaping every day, but the nature of the country is easy to change.

Luo Mazi is still afraid of death, so although he does private things, he never goes to perform tasks by himself, he always arranges for his subordinates to perform tasks.

He is the confidant adjutant of the state order, and he is always accompanied by the state order, so how can he easily get into danger.

After pondering for a while, he just thought of a few suitable candidates, and immediately found a few people and ordered them to go to the opposite side to persuade them to surrender.

It's just that Luo Mazi just ordered to go down to send a letter to surrender, and before the messenger of the letter set off, someone urgently reported, saying that the Hetai army in the encirclement sent someone over, saying that it was to discuss the matter of surrendering!

Hemp eggs!

Lao Tzu hasn't persuaded him to surrender yet, so you're going to surrender?
