Chapter 869: The Battle of Yangzhou (2)

Xu Dingdao: "You're too cautious, aren't you?" ”

"It's not that the minister is cautious, it's that something is wrong, and I have to take a fool's chance." Jia Xu said.

Actual...

Xu Ding was also a little worried in his heart.

The enemy is unusual, and there must be a plan.

"If we suspend our march, will we put Lu in danger? After all, he was used as a surprise soldier to sneak attack Shouchun. If we don't feint, the enemy will have the experience to deal with Lu Xun. Xu Dingdao.

"Your Majesty don't worry, the minister immediately wrote a letter to Lu Xun to suspend the march. Wait a few days in the county. When we are sure that we can attract the main force of the enemy, it is not too late for him to strike again. ”

"Okay."

Xu Ding didn't insist anymore.

It is not possible to cooperate with Lu Xun in the battle and lead to defeat on the frontal battlefield.

.........

All the armies are stationed in place and stand by.

And all the generals were gathered together in their tents.

Xu Dingdao: "The enemy army in Yangzhou is very chaotic. There are the cultivated armies that were defeated by us before, there are also field brigades, mechanized corps, and even more infantry troops that are good at fighting positional warfare. All in all, this is a haphazard, but capable of handling all kinds of operations. ”

"Their commander, his name is Hao Qin."

"It is said that he is a righteous brother nurtured by the former commander, and he has a deep relationship with Yunyu. Therefore, if we fight against the enemy forces in Yangzhou, it may be difficult to collect them. ”

"Only by ourselves, with one shot and one bullet, can we win this battle..."

The generals were briefed on the situation of the enemy army.

Zhang Liao got up and asked, "Your Majesty, since it is impossible for the enemy army to surrender, we should march quickly, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and seize Shouchun, why did we suddenly stop?" ”

"Wen Yuan doesn't know..."

Jia Xu told Zhang Liao about his worries and speculations.

"I'm worried that the enemy is trying to concentrate the main forces and attack me in the middle. Trying to surround our middle lane and force us to return to reinforcements in six ways. This is a typical method of encirclement and reinforcement warfare. It seems to be stupid, but it is actually wise, and it is also the most direct and practical. ”

"Reinforcements?" Tai Shi Ci said: "This tactic is clumsy. Easy to deal with. ”

Oh?

Xu Ding smiled and asked, "General Tai Shici, what can you do?" ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Give the remaining six roads, give a strict order, no matter what happens here, you must not return to help." Also, try to defeat the enemy's main force, isn't it? ”

"After all, the enemy has 30,000 soldiers, less than half of our army."

Jia Xu shook his head and said, "What you said is too easy. ”

"We do have 100,000 troops, three times as many as the enemy, but 60,000 of them have gone to other places, and only 40,000 have confronted the enemy."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu pointed to the sand table in front of him and said: "Generals, please see, the enemy is on the defensive, obviously trying to defend and counterattack and drag the main force of our army." ”

"With the enemy's weapons and equipment, and the quality of the soldiers, it is not difficult for them to do this."

"So...."

"Our army cannot be fooled. You can't send the main forces up and drag them down. In this way, the rest of our armies, neither advancing nor retreating, have become decorations. And once reinforcement comes, it is very likely to encounter an ambush. ”

......

Jia Xu's analysis is very thorough.

Tai Shi Ci did not speak again.

Because I realized that what I said was a bit reckless.

Xu Ding asked, "Wenhe, in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

"I think we should avoid fighting the enemy's main forces. Confront them first and hold back their main force. Don't forget, our army is a feint, and Lu Xun is the key to capturing Shouchun. ”

Xu Ding asked: "What about the rest of the Sixth Route Army?" Also on standby? ”

"Yes."

Jia Xu said: "Let them stand by first and wait for time." If the enemy wants to break through us, or return to the aid of Shouchun, then rush to support. and shall put the enemy on their backs. ”

"Okay."

Xu Ding didn't think much about it.

He felt the same way as Jia Xu.

The enemy's unusually unconventional formation does have a tendency to encircle points and send reinforcements.

It is also a good strategy to take the plan and drag the enemy's main force and buy time for Lu Xun.

.........

Xu Ding made a final decision and agreed with Jia Xu's strategy.

That is, the other six troops and horses were ordered to build a defensive line on the spot and stand by.

Jia Xu's main force, mainly defensive, sent a small assault force to launch a fierce attack with the enemy forces on the opposite side. If you can't fight, return immediately.

The battle lasted a whole day.

Xu Ding was in the camp tent in the rear, using the satellite monitoring system to survey the entire battle situation.

He discovered...

The enemy troops on the opposite side seem to be a little small in number.

No matter how he counted, there was no 30,000.

This made Xu Ding break out in a cold sweat.

Could it be that the enemy army is really somewhere, setting up an ambush?

In order to figure this out, Xu Ding didn't dare to stop for a moment, and kept using the satellite monitoring system to check the radius of hundreds of miles.

Finally...

After checking for more than an hour, I found that twenty miles away on the right, there was a forest in which thousands of people were hidden. That is the Lusu department, the only way to Shouchun.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush....

Xu Ding was afraid for a while.

Fortunately, after listening to Jia Xu before, the troops were on standby.

If the attack continues, I am afraid that the division of Lu Su now will be ambushed.

Although the loss of the strength of one division is not hindered to a large move. But Huaxia cannot afford any losses.

"Dian Wei."

"Yes."

Dian Wei walked into the tent.

Xu Ding instructed: "Go and order Lu Su and Du Huairen to lead the army forward for fifteen miles." After that, Lu Su to the north, Du Huairen to the south, flanking the attack.... ”

When he said this, Xu Ding took out two maps and drew a circle at the location of the woods. Then handed it to Dian Wei: "Tell Lu Su and Du Huairen that there are two brigades of enemy troops in this position." Let them quickly draw in and annihilate them. After that, they were stationed in place and stood by. ”

"No."

Dian Wei took the map and left the account.

.........

Xu Ding still couldn't bear it after all.

Send troops to flank the enemy's ambushes.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible. Xu Ding has used the satellite monitoring system to find the location of the enemy's ambush, which is equivalent to no ambush.

And...

Knowing the enemy's ambush earlier, they could attack from both sides and had an absolute advantage.

Lu Su and Du Huairen received the order, and without saying a word, they led the army to rush forward. They were all very anxious, afraid that the enemy would detect it in advance, and then ran. In that case, you will not be able to make meritorious contributions.

20,000 troops, it took only an hour to reach the designated position.

There are connections between Lu Su and Du Huairen.

They agreed on a time to outflank them from both flanks and encircle the enemy troops who were lying in ambush in the woods. After that, a fierce attack was launched.

Bang bang bang...

Rumble! Rumble!

The battle did not last long.

The troops of the Western Shang Empire, which were surrounded, were a little slow to react, and only after being beaten up did they begin to fight back. But the tide of battle was already in their favor.

Lu Su and Du Huairen outflanked from different directions, quickly narrowing the scope.

Just an hour.

The enemy troops who were lying in ambush in the woods were all annihilated.

There was not even a chance to persuade him to surrender.

Because the fight was too hard.

From start to finish, it's all in one go.

Solve the enemy in a hearty way.

........

The news of the victory was transmitted back to the tent of Xu Ding.

Jia Xu was also on the side.

Jia Xu never thought that Xu Ding would clearly know the location of the enemy's ambush.

If you knew this, why stop and entangle with the enemy.

Just go straight to the army and kill the enemy's ambush soldiers.

"Your Majesty is really a celestial!"

Jia Xu said with a smile.

Xu Ding put away the battle report and smiled: "I am not a celestial, it is Lu Su and Du Huairen, they fought well." In just one hour, two enemy brigades were wiped out. It's hard to find such a record. ”

"Haha..."

Jia Xu smiled and said, "If Your Majesty hadn't provided them with an accurate location, they wouldn't have such a record." ”

"Now that the enemy's ambush has been eliminated, we can continue to advance, right? Only by attacking and making them feel threatened can they really be held back and make Lu Xun's troops safer. Xu Dingdao.

"It's up to Your Majesty to decide."

Jia Xu replied, but then he said, "I don't know if there are any ambushes." Are the other five roads safe? Has Your Majesty squired into it? ”

"Wait..."

Xu Ding slowly walked outside the account and closed his eyes. A satellite monitoring system is used to survey the topography ahead. The main thing is to find out how many people are left in the enemy's main forces.

According to the number of enemy troops in Yangzhou, there should be 30,000 in front.

Lu Su and Du Huairen wiped out more than 6,000.

There should be twenty-four thousand remaining.

Xu Ding carefully inspected it, and felt that it was not much worse.

He turned around and said, "Wenhe, give the order to march." ”

"No."

From this moment on, the 100,000 people brought by Xu Ding began to advance towards Yangzhou.

The enemy had just lost two brigades, and the army was in great confusion.

Facing 40,000 troops on the middle road of Xuding, 6 troops on the left and right, and 60,000 troops, marching in unison, trying to encircle the enemy's main force.

In such a trend...

The strength of the enemy's eight brigades, after only a little resistance, was defeated in the direction of Shouchun.

Xu Ding and Jia Xu both felt bad.

The enemy is too indifferent.

It's a one-touch break.

If you return to Shouchun, Lu Xun's strange soldiers will not be able to make meritorious contributions.

Xu Ding was about to give the order to slow down the attack.

However, inadvertently, he found that Lu Xun's strange soldiers had arrived in Shouchun City. Taking advantage of the fact that Shouchun is okay, exchange fire with Shouchun's troops.

He didn't have many troops, just a brigade.

Two of them were infantry regiments, a guard battalion, an artillery battalion, and a direct battalion.

Coupled with Jia Heng's special forces, the number exceeded three thousand.

"Hit!"

Lu Xun also went to the battlefield in person.

Special forces and guard battalions, all around to protect him. The remaining two infantry regiments, carrying ladders and pontoon bridges, rushed towards Shouchun City.

The artillery battalion was in the rear, giving fire support to the front and suppressing the enemy forces.

The battalion acted as a moat and fired at the towers.

The enemy army never expected that a brigade of enemy troops would suddenly appear outside Shouchun City. Moreover, it is still so well equipped.

They were not even prepared for the slightest bit before they were bombarded indiscriminately.

The positions outside the city were lost in an instant.

The troops in the city, although they were resisting to the death, were smashed by Lu Xun's artillery camp and had no temper.

Just ten minutes.

Hundreds of people rushed to the tower of the city and exchanged short forces with the enemy.

Melee combat is Huaxia's strong point.

The infantry regiment selected by Lu Xun is particularly strong in close combat.

When they reached the tower, they had no rivals.

Seeing that he was about to take down the tower.

At this critical moment, enemy reinforcements arrived.

Lu Xun's heart tightened, but he did not panic, and said to Jia Heng on the side: "Now we are almost able to break through the enemy's defense line." I have heard that the special forces are extremely combative, can they come forward to help fight and repel the enemy? ”

"I'm sorry General, this... I can't say yes. Jia Heng directly refused.

"Why?"

Jia Hengdao: "Special forces are formed to carry out special tasks. Not for the battlefield charge. If there are casualties, you and I cannot afford to take that responsibility. Moreover, I have been tasked with keeping you safe, and I will not do anything else. ”

"Brother Jia, why be serious?"

Lu Xun chuckled: "Just help me fight, so what?" I promise, don't let the special forces lose, can't you? ”

"What guarantees do you have?"

Lu Xun said: "I can send my guard battalion to be your guard." If a bullet flies over, they are the first to get shot. That's the end line, right? ”

"It's... You allow me to think about it.... ”

Jia Heng was extremely reluctant to get involved in this matter.

Xu Ding sent him to protect Lu Xun, which was already a violation of the regulations of special forces. Special forces are different from ordinary troops, and the tasks they perform are all difficult, and the essence is to win by surprise.

Now being used as a guard to protect Lu Xun is simply an insult to the special forces.

But Xu Ding's identity was there, and Jia Heng didn't dare to disobey.

But...

Lu Xun wanted him to participate in the war like an ordinary soldier, which definitely touched his bottom line.

Jia Hengzhi thought again and again and said: "No, I can't let the special forces take risks. You can let the guard battalion go, and with the protection of our special forces, there will be no problems with your safety. I imagine that the guard battalion could also do this task. ”

"Ugh...."

Lu Xun smiled: "Okay." Just when I didn't say it. ”

.......

In order to capture Shouchun City.

Lu Xun staked all the old books.

All the troops, including the battalion directly under the brigade and the guard battalion, totaled more than 600 people. Among them, the equipment of the guard battalion is the best, and they are the same as the equipment of the special forces, they all use light machine guns, which are fast and have a high density of bullets. However, compared with special forces, their accuracy is not as high as that of special forces.

Bang Bang Bang ....

The guard battalion followed the ladder and climbed to the tower of the city to engage the enemy's reinforcements.

The troops, who had already climbed the tower, were wiped out by enemy reinforcements. Fortunately, the guard battalion arrived and turned the situation around and held the passage to the castle tower.

"Hold here!" The battalion commander of the guard battalion shouted.

Two teams of soldiers stood behind a wall pier, protecting a ladder.

As long as the ladder is not destroyed and attacked by enemies.

The troops in the back continued to climb up and provide support.

Boom boom...

The guard battalion carried a large number of grenades and, under the command of the battalion commander, threw a round into the city. In fact, they didn't even see where the enemy was, only that there might be reinforcements in the city. It is also not clear where it is.

As soon as this round of smashing sounded, a scream came from the city.

The enemy's reinforcements were almost all hidden in the urn city. A round of grenades smashed through, killing half of the regiment. ,

The rest also hurried out.

But.

They were greeted by numerous light machine-gun bullets.
