Chapter 593: Destroying Cao (49)
Liu Bowen pointed out the key point.
"Mr. Berwyn, you must have a way, right?" Bai Qi asked.
"Yes!"
Liu Bowen smiled slightly: "When General Han Xin's 1st Army comes, it will be easy to break the formation." ”
"Still waiting for Han Xin? He's in Luoyang now, right? Xiang Yu said with some displeasure: "Wait for him to come, what else is there to do with us?" ”
"Is there any other way you can do it, Mr. Berwyn?" Qin Qiong was anxious to make meritorious service and make up for his previous mistakes, and did not want to give the credit for eliminating Cao Cao to Han Xin's new army.
"There is no way. Only by relying on the artillery of the new army can we quickly break the fortress and reduce the casualties of our army. Liu Bowen said.
Qin Qiong was a little disappointed
"Okay, then wait for Han Xin." Xiang Yu looked displeased, spread his hands, and prepared to leave: "I just happened to rest." ”
"Ugh."
Many of the generals lamented.
When Han Xin's new army arrives, with the combat effectiveness of the new army, it will definitely destroy Cao Cao with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, and at that time, what else will happen to them? Aren't hundreds of thousands of troops all furnished?
Bai Qi has always taken the overall situation into account.
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, he ordered that no one should go to war. The whole army blocked the official road of Longshan and rested and stood by. After that, he made a twist and turn in Luoyang, and asked for Han Xin's new army to fight.
Luoyang.
In the mansion.
Han Xin recovered the towns around Luoyang and returned to restore his life. It just so happened that Bai Qi's request for help was sent to Lu Bu's hand: "General Han, this is Bai Qi's letter for help." You prepare, mobilize a division, and go to help. ”
"No."
Han Xin hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Xiang Yu is the most belligerent. If I lead a new army to meet Cao Cao, he will not like it. ”
"Leave him alone. Since you are gone, you will assist Bai Qi and eliminate Cao Cao. Lu Budao.
"Yes."
Han Xin read the letter asking for help and knew the situation in Longshan. He returned to the school field and mobilized a reorganized division, three artillery regiments, and more than 1,000 trucks to drive to Longshan.
Two days later.
Han Shin's troops arrived at Longsan.
"General Han, welcome, welcome." Bai Qi laughed. There were many generals standing in the tent, including Qin Qiong and Xiang Yu.
Jia Xu stepped forward and said, "There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the new army. I believe that with the addition of General Han, it is easy to break Cao Cao's formation. ”
"I've seen Mr. Wenhe, I've seen you."
Bai Qi bowed his hand to everyone one by one.
Xiang Yu snorted and ignored him.
Qin Qiong's face was also a little unhappy.
Han Xin had long expected that he would be hated, but he was not too surprised.
"General Bai, when are we going to war with Cao Cao?" Han Xin asked.
"You've just arrived, don't worry. How about you rest for two days and then go? Bai Qi said.
"Our new army came by car, so we didn't need to use manpower. So the soldiers were not tired. I suggest that we march to Longshan early tomorrow morning. The 1st Division of our New Army is willing to be the vanguard of all the generals, and when Cao Cao's formation is broken, it will be up to you. Because our ammunition is limited, we can only break the formation, not destroy Cao. The last words were for Qin Qiong and Xiang Yu.
Han Xin had already thought about it, and instead of competing for the first merit of destroying Cao, he would complain against all the generals. It's better to sell personal favors to Xiang Yu and Qin Qiong. Establish good relations with the generals of the DPRK and China.
"Hahaha."
Xiang Yu's face immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "General Han, you are welcome to come." ”
Qin Qiong also arched her hand in embarrassment.
"I hope my arrival can help you." Han Xindao.
"Well, I believe that as soon as the new army strikes, it will be invincible!" Xiang Yu said with a smile: "Tomorrow morning, I will go with you, but I want to see how you broke Cao Cao's formation." ”
"Okay."
Han Xin nodded.
After talking to the generals for a while, they went back to the camp.
Next.
The sky was just dawning.
Han Shin led the 1st Division and arrived at the battlefield.
Of the three brigades under its jurisdiction, two brigades stood outside the mountains.
Three artillery regiments were in position, protected by the 3rd Brigade and also ready for battle.
All the generals, including Jia Xu, Liu Bowen, Bai Qi, and Xiang Yu, came to the mountains to watch the battle.
Xiang Yu walked up to Han Xin and asked, "General Han, I heard that the Academy of Science and Technology has replenished a batch of ammunition for you, but is it true?" ”
"Hmm."
Han Xin understood Xiang Yu's thoughts, and immediately replied, "But there are not many of them. ”
"Oh."
Xiang Yu nodded.
Many of the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai took Han Xin's left hand side, looked at the official road in and out of Longshan, raised his hand and said, "General Han, please see." Along the official road, there is a camp. You need to capture it in the shortest possible time and then turn to the southeast. ”
"General Bai, I have an idea." Han Xin interrupted Bai Qi's words.
"Oh? General Han said it was okay. ”
Han Xin said: "I brought three artillery regiments and 40,000 shells on this trip. This was enough to blow up all the enemy's camps. I don't think it's necessary to march in the same way as to break the Bagua Array. ”
"There are three official paths facing us. There is a camp on the official road. I immediately ordered three artillery regiments to open fire and destroy the enemy's camp. Then my new army moved forward and occupied the commanding heights. ”
Han Xin revealed his plan.
Bai Qi was not very familiar with the tactics of the New Army, but looking at Han Xin's self-confidence, the New Army was strong in combat. Bai Qi said: "Okay, since General Han is confident, let's fight according to General Han's method." ”
"Thank you."
Han Xin called the commanders of the three artillery regiments under his command and ordered: "Go and prepare immediately, and in a quarter of an hour, shell the enemy's camp!" ”
"No."
The three regiment commanders went quickly.
Minutes and seconds passed
The soldiers of the Cao army stationed in the camp also knew that the enemy was about to invade and actively prepared.
Cao Cao and Sima Yi's Chinese army camp was arranged in the innermost part of Longshan, and they did not know what was happening in the Bagua Array in the mountains. If they saw that Han Xin's three artillery regiments were outside the mountains, they would probably be frightened and withdraw immediately.
It's a pity
Even if it is withdrawn now, it will be too late.
Everything is ready.
Han Xin held the command flag in his hand and swiped it: "Load." ”
"Adjust the angle."
"Ignition."
Soldiers carry torches and light the fuses at the tips of the redcoat cannons. After the fuse burned out, the cannon sounded: "Boom, boom, boom." ”
Three artillery regiments opened fire together, covering the official road ahead.
Such a large formation is still extremely rare.
I remember that the last time I fought Zhuge Liang in Yizhou, I seemed to use it once. This is the second time. Facing fifteen hundred red-coated cannons, simultaneous attacks.
Its powerful power can blow up the enemy's camp in just one round.
Han Xin drew his sword and shouted, "The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd regiments, step forward to take over the position." The 4th, 5th, and 6th regiments attacked the enemy's second camp. Be fast, attack hard, go! ”
With his order, all six regiments of the 1st and 2nd brigades were dispatched. Marching towards the mountains.
He personally led the 3rd Brigade and a guard battalion as backup.
