He arched his hand and said: "Please rest assured that the general will definitely make new achievements." ”

"Hmm."

Tai Shici also had the mentality of giving it a try and asked Zhou Yun to be the deputy brigade commander.

If you do it well, you will be promoted to brigade commander later.

If you don't do it well, it proves that you don't have the talent, and you just masturbate.

"What is the situation with the enemy now? Didn't you attack again? Tai Shi Ci asked.

Wu Liang said: "Back to the general, since the day before yesterday, Commander Zhou eliminated their artillery, they have been stationed in the stone forest, and they have not launched a second round of attacks. The admiral thought that they were afraid of our artillery and did not dare to attack. Moreover, waiting for the arrival of new artillery in the rear. ”

"You're right."

Tai Shi Ci said: "The Western Shang Empire is becoming more and more cautious. Once you have suffered a heavy blow, you will not attack easily. This time the head of the week.. Ahem, Brigade Commander Zhou destroyed their artillery, which is equivalent to pulling out their tips, how dare they come again? ”

"That's fine. It's easier for us to hold here. ”

........

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Tai Shi Ci sent a team of scouts to infiltrate the enemy camp and find out the news.

This group of scouts, numbering ten people.

Dressed in enemy clothes, they were sent to the right side of the stone forest.

On the right side is the rear of the enemy.

It is also counted as a rear battalion.

Because the right side is not far away, there are both mountains and rivers, and only a few soldiers and horses are needed to hold on. By using this as a rear, you can attack the mountain pass with more confidence.

The scouts are trained and very professional when it comes to carrying out their missions.

They approached the enemy camp and lay in ambush in the grass in the distance.

It didn't take long for several enemy soldiers to come out and relieve them.

They quickly approached and assassinated him.

Then pretend to be them and blend into the enemy camp.

The camp was quiet, and there were very few lights.

The patrol team is also careless and walks slowly.

The soldiers standing guard were also dozing.

The whole camp is loosely scattered.

It gives the impression that it is defenseless.

This made the keen scout feel a little strange.

The Western Shang Empire has always been highly disciplined, and its control over the army is even tighter than that of the Huaxia Kingdom. Now he looks like this, is it because he lost the battle before and there is a problem with morale? Or is this army, originally a weak brigade? Or, is the enemy ill-intentioned and trying to lure the enemy into this?

The task of the scout is to get a complete understanding of the enemy camp.

What you see and hear will be reported to Tai Shici.

As for speculation, it doesn't work.

........

They wandered around the camp for a long time.

Thinking he knew all about the situation, he tried to evacuate.

"What is the situation in the enemy camp?" At the mountain pass, Tai Shici asked.

"Returning to the general, the enemy camp is lax in defense, and there is no state of preparation for war. Their soldiers were also very tired, listless on patrol, and those standing guard were still dozing... ”

Scouts, tell Tai Shici what they saw.

Zhou Yun and Wu Liang were on the side.

Tai Shi Ci asked: "Do you think the enemy army is really so loose, or is it deliberately luring the enemy?" ”

"The last general thinks that he is deliberately luring the enemy." Wu Liang said.

"Why?"

"I have heard that the Western Shang Empire has strict military discipline, how can there be such an omission. The last general will never believe it. Wu Liang said.

"That makes sense."

Tai Shi Ci nodded.

Zhou Yun said: "General, the last general has a different opinion. ”

"Oh? You talk about it. ”

"Yes."

Zhou Yundao: "The enemy army that is fighting with us is not very strong in combat. The day before yesterday, he stormed the mountain pass for a day, and he did not advance an inch. The reason why we were able to break through the stone forest was also because of the artillery support on the other side of the river. Once there is no artillery, their combat effectiveness will be drastically reduced. The last general thinks that they are a ragtag army. ”

"A ragtag army, how strict discipline can be, plus they have just lost the battle, their morale is low, it is inevitable that there will be negligence...."

"It's just that simple?" Tai Shi Ci didn't believe it.

Since the invasion of the Western Shang Empire, he has fought more than a dozen wars.

Every time you feel like your opponent is incomparably strong.

Even if the first and second armies were formed, they were somewhat unable to parry in the face of the enemy. In general, the troops of the Western Shang Empire, no matter which one, had strong combat effectiveness.

At least in terms of discipline, it is impeccable.

Today, scouts have found that the enemy is lax in its defenses.

Tai Shici found it hard to believe that this was the original appearance of the army of the Western Shang Empire.

"Maybe you're right, but I'm not willing to take any chances." Tai Shi Ci is still more cautious.

He came here with the task of holding the mountain pass.

In case you go to attack the camp, it is not good to be ambushed.

"General, the last general asks for orders, leads the headquarters, and goes to test the enemy army. If there is no danger, the general then orders a major attack to crush the enemy in one fell swoop. Zhou Yundao.

"No..."

Tai Shi Ci still did not agree.

He said, "The battalions go back to rest and guard the mountain pass." Our mission is to hold this place, not to crush the enemy. You must understand that if we make an attack and there is an accident, it is likely that the enemy will rush across the mountain pass and threaten Your Majesty. How can you risk such an important task? ”

"No..."

All the generals replied.

.........

originally wanted to raid the enemy camp, but because Tai Shici was cautious, he gave up the opportunity.

But...

Fortunately, Tai Shi Ci was cautious.

Because the enemy troops stationed in the stone forest village have indeed set up an ambush and are waiting for the net.

The reason why the few scouts sent by Tai Shi Ci were able to enter easily was because the enemy did it deliberately. Otherwise, with the military discipline and defense of the Western Shang Empire, they would not even be able to pass the sentry level.

this day.

The troops led by Lu Su arrived in Hefei.

There are 100,000 troops, and the water around Hefei will be impassable.

Xu Ding still followed the procedure and shouted people.

"Your Majesty, this group of enemy troops has been stubbornly resisting us for several days, and their will is extremely strong, it may be the personal guard of the Western Shang Empire, let's not persuade them to surrender, and see that they will not surrender. It just so happened that Zijing led the army to come, and we took Hefei with full strength. Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe, why are you so anxious? Wait, okay? ”

Xu Ding still held on to a glimmer of hope.

I want to capture the enemy and surround it, supplemented by a strong attack.

It's easier and more humane to win. Compared with the brutal invasion of the Western Shang Empire, possession is righteous.

"Wait..."

Xu Ding sent men into the enemy's defensive line.

It didn't take long...

Syllable!

A gunshot rang out.

The envoy sent by Xu Ding was shot dead.

A corpse was thrown out.

Is this a demonstration to the Huaxia Kingdom?

Lu Su and Jia Xu both showed murderous intentions on their faces, and bowed their hands to Xu Ding: "Your Majesty, the enemy army is rude, please give your Majesty's order to besiege and kill the enemy army!" ”

"Herald...."

Xu Ding also had a calm face.

He had a good heart and wanted to give the enemy a way out, but the Western Shang Empire did not cherish this kindness.

In this case, he no longer needs to be sentimental.

All the generals present beat their bodies straight.

Xu Ding said: "Surround the divisions, brigades, and regiments in Hefei and start an all-out attack. Keep shrinking the enemy's range until they're all wiped out! ”

"Order..."

The congregation will answer.

After half a cup of tea.

The 100,000 troops of the four cities of Hefei entered the city in multiple ways.

More than a dozen assault teams burst through the streets.

Behind was a large number of infantry troops, covering the assault troops.

All artillery pieces are set up in the rear, and as soon as the enemy appears and the position is exposed, it will strike with precision.

Under such an offensive, the enemy army can only constantly shrink its defenses.

The range of their activities is getting smaller and smaller.

Xu Ding took Jia Xu, Zhang Liao, Lu Su, etc., and slowly entered the city.

Xu Dingdao: "This group of enemy troops is the most tenacious I have ever seen. In the face of our army, such a strong attack, they can still fight to the death without surrendering, their commander must be very unusual. ”

"yes..."

In the two years of war with the Western Shang Empire, although there were not many enemy troops captured, there were definitely not many who could fight to the death without surrendering. Last time in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, the so-called elite mechanized corps also dropped by a few thousand.

Xu Ding snorted: "We have wiped out hundreds of thousands of elites of the Western Shang Empire and recovered Yangzhou. The general trend is that the enemy army can no longer resist us. ”

"When the enemy army in Hefei is eliminated, we will organize a big battle..."

Jia Xu heard the meaning of Xu Ding's words and asked, "Your Majesty wants to fight Jiangdong?" ”

"Wen He still understands me." Xu Ding smiled.

"Your Majesty, Jiangdong is not easy to take." Lu Su said.

"Why?" Xu Ding has his own plan: "We attack Jiangdong here, and the enemy army in Jingzhou will have to come back to help." In this way, Guo Jia's troops will be much easier. Maybe, you can take advantage of the situation to recover Jingzhou. ”

"Of course, the premise is that the Western Shang Empire will no longer send a large army through the wormhole. Otherwise we will be in a very passive situation.... ”

"In fact, in the end, it's about rushing for time. The sooner we break into Koto, the safer our rear will be. Because the enemy has no time to take care of anything else, it will completely disrupt their position. ”

........

Xu Ding's words were extremely thorough.

Jia Xu also slowly changed his original thoughts, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty is wise, taking advantage of the enemy's successive defeats, we should take advantage of the victory to march..." ”

"Well, this matter will be discussed later." Xu Dingdao.

The war went very well.

100,000 troops rushed into the center of the city, and the enemy was too weak to resist. After half an hour of fierce fighting, they all retreated back to the North Campus in Hefei.

Zhang Liao personally led a large army and entered the school field.

First artillery bombardment, forcing the enemy to retreat.

Then two assault regiments were sent to outflank from the left and right.

The rest of the troops pressed the border.

Just an hour.

The remnants of the enemy were wiped out in the school field.

Not a single one surrendered, none ran, and none were alive.

All the enemy soldiers have been reduced to corpses.

Xu Ding led everyone into the school grounds.

I saw corpses and blood all over the ground.

Xu Dingren cleaned up the battlefield and disposed of the corpses of the enemy.

"Your Majesty, the minister has just received a letter from Fengxiao." Back in Hefei Mansion, Jia Xu handed Xu a letter.

"What did he say?"

Xu Ding opened it and looked at it.

Jia Xu said: "Fengxiao was worried that we would not be able to take Yangzhou, so he arranged the defense of Fancheng, personally led a division of troops, came from Xiling, and said that within three days, he would rush to Hefei to participate in the war." ”

"Feng Xiao is too worried."

Xu Ding smiled.

Hefei has been captured, and Shouchun and Huainan are also in their hands. In the Yangzhou area, there are not many enemy troops that can compete with the Huaxia State. The next battle was to regain territory and cross the Yangtze River.

Xu Dingdao: "Give him a letter back, telling him that he doesn't have to come and guard Fancheng well." If it is found that the enemy has withdrawn his troops from Jingzhou, he will quickly organize his troops and kill them to Xiangyang. ”

"No."

Jia Xu paused, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a suggestion." ”

"What advice?"

"Aren't we going to attack Koto? More than half of the army of Jiangdong was in the mountain pass to the south, and fought with Tai Shici. Even if they retreated to Koto, Koto's forces were relatively weak. If Fengxiao is allowed to lead the army across the Neijiang River and go to Nanchang to garrison, then it will be difficult for the enemy army in Jingzhou to come back to help. We can take Jiangdong in its entirety. Jia Xu said.

"It's a good idea."

Xu Ding glanced at the map.

According to the topography of Jiangdong, the location of Nanchang is indeed very important.

"Wenhe."

"Yes."

Xu Ding said: "Immediately give Guo Jia an order to let him lead the army, take Jiangxia first, and then attack Nanchang." With Nanchang as the center, it extends to the east and west sides to build defensive positions. When we attack Jiangdong, if the enemy army returns from Jingzhou, let him hold his position and buy us enough time. ”

"Yes."

Jia Xu wrote an order according to Xu Ding's meaning.

Sent to Guo Jia overnight.

this day.

In Xiling City.

Guo Jia is preparing to lead the army to Hefei.

He received a military order from Jia Xu.

After reading it, I was a little worried and a little excited.

It is worried that the two group armies of the Huaxia State, all of which enter Jiangdong, will suffer defeat. Once it fails, the consequences are unimaginable.

The good thing is...

Once won.

The war was won completely.

In the future, it is absolutely impossible for the Western Shang Empire to send troops from Jiangdong.

And they can also free up their hands to deal with Cao Cao in Yizhou, and strive to dominate the world in the shortest possible time.

Compare the two.

Guo Jia expects the latter.

He garrisoned Xiling for a day, and then led all the troops to take Jiangxia.

The enemy army in Jiangxia was very weak.

In the face of Guo Jia's strong attack, the city was lost in just three hours. More than 2,000 enemy troops were captured, and the rest were killed.

Guo Jia occupies Jiangxia City.

Prepare for the attack on Nanchang.

Compared with Jiangxia, the enemy army in Nanchang is relatively strong.

There was a division of troops, more than 10,000 men.

Guo Jia also brought a division, but compared with the enemy army, it was much inferior. Moreover, the enemy army is the side where it is stationed, and it has a geographical advantage. If Guo Jia wants to break the city, it is really difficult.

But...

Who is Guo Jia?

A rare contemporary military strategist, Cao Cao's think tank in history, how could he be blocked by a city.

He was divided into three ways...

Two of them, under his banner, marched with great fanfare to attract the main forces of the enemy.

The other way, under his personal command, went to Nanchang City.

This tactic is extremely common.

Not only was it used by the Huaxia Kingdom, but also by the armies of the Western Shang Empire.

To put it bluntly, it is to be taken by surprise.

During the Battle of Shouchun, Xu Ding used this method to capture Shouchun quietly.

Now Guo Jia wants to repeat the old trick.

It was dangerous, but it was the only thing he could think of.

As long as this is the case, we can have a chance to break through Nanchang City.
