The wartime staff headquarters of Goxinga was not idle, and was studying the coalition forces every day and exploring the tactics of victory. However, the result was a bit depressing, and after many deductions, they came to a speechless conclusion. The Guoxinga division was at an absolute disadvantage compared to the coalition forces, and the larger the scale of the battle, the more obvious the disadvantage.

Because of the size of the army and the weaponry, if there is a battle between the two sides at the company level or below, the Guoxinga division can completely defeat the coalition army. However, if the scale is expanded to the battalion level, although the Guoxing Asuo Division still has an advantage, it will be somewhat more difficult. If it is expanded to the regimental level, the two sides will basically be half a catty and eight taels, and the light cavalry regiment of Guoxinga will definitely suffer. Moreover, once the decisive battle of more than 5,000 people is reached, and the multiple arms of the coalition army work together, the Guoxinga division will be at an absolute disadvantage.

The so-called great powers do not have power and strategy, and in fact, a big war is not still power and strategy. The modern army is very tightly organized, and it will not be scattered and fled by a surprise attack like the traditional army, and even if it is tricked, the soldiers will still fight calmly under the command of the junior officers. Therefore, playing a yin trick and winning more with less is rare on modern battlefields. Unless there is an absolute geographical advantage, even if the enemy is hit, he can only take advantage of the first, and he has to fight how to fight. To put it bluntly, everyone is just fighting hard, fighting for strength, and seeing whose army can't bear the casualties first.

The individual weapons and troop establishment of the Goxinga division are far more advanced than those of the coalition forces, so the smaller the scale of the battle, the greater the advantage of the Goxinga. However, once the scale of the battle was enlarged, the superiority of the coalition forces in artillery, cavalry, engineers and other arms became apparent. Among the cavalry of Goxinga, except for the heavy cavalry battalion, they can only attack and pursue, and the team battle can definitely not defeat the modern cavalry of the coalition army. Moreover, the units of artillery and sappers were very small, with only one company, but the coalition forces were all regiments, squadrons, and several. In large-scale battles, Schneider's rear-loading rate of fire advantage will also be offset by the numerical advantage of the coalition forces. In this way, it became a situation where the infantry was equal, the cavalry was slightly inferior, and the artillery could not beat the others.

Although I don't want to believe it, but this is the case, Guo Xing'a can't bully foreign devils like he bullied Hong Xiuquan. However, Guo Xing'a is actually not good at commanding large-scale decisive battles, he doesn't watch many movies in this area, and what he is good at is fighting the strong with the weak. The anti-Japanese drama is not for nothing, although the content cannot be used for reference, but the ideas can.

"Avoid the enemy's main force, disturb the enemy's backup, concentrate superior forces, and strike at the enemy's living forces!" Goxinga firmly announced his strategic approach.

This time, with the permission of the imperial court, Guo Xing'a didn't have to make any small fights, and after arranging for all military families to take refuge in the family area of the arsenal, Guo Xing'a personally led the army out of the nest. After leaving Gu'an City, the troops began to die down again, and Guoxing Ake didn't want to attract the main force of the coalition army. His tactical approach is still to sneak attack, but to scale it up a bit.

Guoxing'a sat in Wuqing, the cavalry regiment and light cavalry regiment were deployed covertly along the line from Anping to Yangcun, and the 1st and 2nd infantry regiments were ambushed on both sides of the canal. Guo Xing'a didn't go to attack the military station this time, after the last sneak attack on Hexi, the coalition army's military station was very tightly defended, and Guo Xing'a didn't need to gnaw hard bones. His target was the allied convoy between Tianjin and Zhangjiawan.

Monk Lingqin and Guoxing Adu had the idea of the coalition supply line, so the coalition army was very tightly protective of the convoy. It was transported from Tianjin by boat, sent to Hexi through the North Canal, and then changed to land transportation. Each convoy had about 500 soldiers guarding the shore, and each station had to go into rest and recuperate, and at the same time send people to reconnoiter the security situation ahead. In the event of a sneak attack on the way, the 500-strong escort team can temporarily ensure safety, and at the same time, military stations not far from the front and rear can also send troops to support. These methods were enough to deal with the monk Lingqin, but when they met Guoxing'a, who had studied sports warfare and guerrilla warfare since childhood, these were obviously not enough.

After dodging the two large groups of the coalition forces in Tianjin and Zhangjiawan, starting from Yangcun and ending in Anping, the light cavalry regiment and the cavalry infantry regiment attacked the convoy endlessly. Guoxing'a is not like Monk Greenqin, 1,800 people hula rushed up at once, and Guoxing's people did not fight with the coalition army at all. A small force of cavalry of thirty or forty men suddenly appeared and fired a few shots at the coalition forces, or two shots*. I didn't look at the results, I ran away after the fight, and the coalition forces didn't even see where the enemy was, so they were beaten with a stick.

This kind of attack, in addition to making the coalition forces impetuous, can not cause much real damage. If Yang Village only encountered a few times on the 300-mile road from Anping, the coalition forces would not care at all. But Goxing Ake was not so kind, and the coalition forces encountered an average of two or three times a mile. Just like a mosquito flying in your ears when you're about to fall asleep, the coalition convoys from top to bottom are going crazy to be tortured by these nasty guys. There is also a more important point, the speed of the transport team has been greatly slowed down, and it takes a whole day to walk dozens of miles. After all, when a bullet flies and explodes next to it, everyone will lie down and dodge. And after the attack, you have to search and observe, and you can only get up after making sure that it is safe, which delays too much time.

Unbeknownst to the coalition, this was a division of 4,000 cavalrymen, and they all thought it was a group of nasty ghosts following them. The irascible Indian cavalrymen were the first to take it and they were going to shoot these hateful mosquitoes to death, and the white squadron leader accepted their advice. After exchanging views with Major Robert of the infantry, the convoy quietly adjusted its formation, and the cavalry dispersed to the flanks, ready to launch a pursuit of the mosquitoes.

The effort paid off, and when the mosquito squad attacked again, the Indians found the enemy. These cowardly people, disguised in blades of grass, and their dwarf horses are no different, and it is difficult to find them without a careful search. They shot at the convoy from 300 meters away, then turned around and slipped away.

"Catch up with these cowards and kill them!" The white squadron leader drew his saber and chased after him.

"Defensive formation! We need to wait for the cavalry to come back! Major Robert looked at the open terrain around him, and he felt that it was safe, and he did not dare to continue without the protection of the cavalry.

The large forces of the coalition army relied on hollow phalanxes and artillery to oppose the cavalry of the Qing army, but the small forces could only rely on cavalry. The density of fire of three hundred infantry was not enough to hold back the iron hooves of the cavalry, and if there was no cavalry protection and the impact of the Qing cavalry, they would have been greeted with a massacre. They had to rely on cavalry to hedge against the enemy's cavalry, and with cavalry blocking the enemy, they had a chance to fire a salvo.

"These barbarians are just difficult to catch, as long as they are caught, the cavalry can quickly solve the problem." Robert's adjutant had many encounters with the Qing cavalry, a group of herdsmen.

The convoy waited for an hour, but no cavalry returned, and Robert was a little dizzy in the autumn sun.

"These playful bastards, how far have they chased them out? Just get rid of the hateful heretics, stubborn ones! Robert was very impatient.

"Major, we ......" the adjutant tried to comfort Robert, but as soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"I think they're back!" The adjutant smiled at Robert.

"It's finally back!" Robert put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves was coming.

"Does the French have a blue flag? That country's flag is blue? Robert looked at it and held up his binoculars, and then he saw some strange guys. The costumes of these men were not coalition troops, but they were also clearly not Qing troops, and they carried very modern flags, the likes of which Robert had never seen. Although he saw Dongfang's face, he was not sure that the Qing army should be from the Yellow Dragon Banner, who these guys were.

"Everyone's on alert!" The strange people with the blue star sun flag stopped for a mile or so, but Robert instinctively sensed the danger.

Several white smoke suddenly rose from the opponent's team, and before Robert could speak, the rumbling cannons and whistling cannonballs had already flown into his team. The shock wave of the high-explosive bomb is absolutely fatal to a soft target without cover, and while the blown stones and shrapnel are flying sideways, Robert also sees the human body flying all over the sky.

After receiving that there was a coalition transport team between Hexi and Cai Village, Tan Shaoguang immediately ordered Cao Meng to take his second cavalry battalion to kill it, preparing to completely annihilate this transport team that had lost the protection of cavalry. Cao Meng also rushed over with a team, ready to grab the first credit. However, as soon as his second battalion was in position, a new order was given, and the original plan to annihilate the enemy army was stopped. Cao Meng wanted to scold his mother very much, but when he heard that Guo Xing'a personally took over the command, he had nothing to say.

Previously, Tan Shaoguang and Bo Ritu cooperated with each other, each transferred a part of their troops, and annihilated the plan of annihilating this transport team in two places, but Guo Xing'a changed it beyond recognition. Bo Ritu's side had already introduced the Indian cavalry into Chengtai's pocket formation, but it was abruptly stopped and deliberately let go of some of the Indian cavalry. The annihilation on Cao Meng's side has also become a siege under the premise of constantly weakening the enemy's army. This order made Cao Meng uncomfortable to death, he could beat or not kill all of them, this degree is very difficult to master! And the artificially long-term attack has not been overcome, and his first merit is gone.

"Battalion Commander Cao, Commander Tan asked me to bring you a message, adults are going to be generous, you are the key, you can't be careless! You are a bait, it depends on you to catch the fish, as long as it is done, the head work is still yours! Tan Shaoguang still took good care of his subordinates, and specially asked the herald to bring a message.

"Go back, help me thank Tuanzuo, I Cao Meng promise to complete the task!" Cao Meng also knew that Guo Xing'a did not have the addiction of overstepping commands, and he jumped out to disrupt Tan Shaoguang's deployment, which must have a deep meaning.

"By the way, the adults also transferred you to a shift, so that you can use it carefully!" The signal soldier smiled mysteriously at Cao Meng.

Because he couldn't kill them all at once, Cao Meng blatantly showed up first and gave the coalition forces some time to prepare. Then Cao Meng was not polite, and the eight Weiyuan general cannons in the battalion were lined up, and they bombarded the transport team indiscriminately.

In Tan Shaoguang's headquarters, Guo Xing A and Tan Shaoguang were deducing from the map, Guo Xing A came up with ideas, and Tan Shaoguang was responsible for the specific operation. After some comparison, the general plan appeared on paper.

"As long as the defenders of Hexi Wu move, the two armies of Bo Ritu and Ji Ying will give Lao Tzu all their strength to attack Hexi Wu!" Gohinga drew a large red circle on the map.
