Chapter 146: The Qin Army's Countermeasures
Seeing Bai Jinxiu's puzzled expression, Di Qing then told him about the previous feint attack on Jinling City.
Bai Jingxiu also reacted very quickly, and immediately understood what Di Qing meant.
"General Di, are you saying that the Liukou did not buy the advanced firearms from England as a hole card, but it is very likely to find an English army as foreign aid so that they can take advantage of the fierce battle between our group and the Liukou?"
Di Qing nodded and said, "This is the most likely answer. After all, in the previous siege battle, Jinling City already looked crumbling and could be breached at any time, and at that time, there were no advanced firearms in the hands of the Liukou.
And you also know that any advanced firearm, if it wants to really form combat effectiveness, must go through a period of training before it can be able. Fight effectively. And according to the information you provide. The English merchant had made contact with Roque's enemy a month earlier. In such a short period of time, it is obviously impossible for the rogues to form a real combat power. So after peeling back the cocoon, that is, we found a force that we didn't know about, as foreign aid.
Based on the information you have provided, as well as the information we have obtained during the extermination of the Japanese Empire, and even the Lord has always regarded the English Empire as our greatest enemy in the future, our suspicions can be basically confirmed. ”
When Bai Jingxiu heard this, after pondering for a while, it was indeed very possible to guide what Di Qing said.
Di Qing took over and said, "Now we can basically confirm that there is an army from England lurking around us. So the question at the moment is, we don't know exactly how many people in this army are equipped with what kind of weapons? Where are they lurking now? ”
Bai Jinxiu also frowned when she heard this, and fell into thought.
Although after more than half a year and nearly a year of rapid development, the intelligence collection ability of the black platform has been greatly improved.
But after all, they still have a shallow foundation. Moreover, if the current situation is in the midst of war and strife, and the means of obtaining and transmitting information in this era are very backward, it is not easy for him to find out that the British have been in contact with the Roque.
It is definitely difficult for the black platform to know in advance that the British mercenaries intend to enter the war.
While Bai Jinxiu was deep in thought, Di Qing also walked to the map of Jiangnan in front of the Chinese army's big tent, and also began to think about the most likely hiding place for the English army.
After analyzing and judging, several were marked on the map, and he believed that the most likely enemy was to be adversary.
But he wasn't sure where it was.
If you can confirm where the enemy is hiding, then the rest will be easy.
In Di Qing's view, the place where the rogue relied and looked for this was the British army as foreign aid, which was nothing more than taking a fancy to this British army, equipped with advanced firearms that could be comparable to the Qin army.
In this case, the best option to deal with a British army equipped with advanced firearms is the 10,000 Qin firearms troops equipped with the most advanced muskets and artillery.
But the problem is that these places have the potential for British troops to hide.
The Qin army only had 10,000 firearms troops, and if these 10,000 people were divided into several parts to search for the possible hiding places of these enemies, it would not only be very time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also face huge risks, after all, they did not know anything about the enemy's situation now.
Because of his own misjudgment, if this advanced firearms unit of the Qin army suffered huge losses, even if the lord Jiang Chuan did not blame himself, Di Qing himself would be difficult to let go.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, it fell into a kind of silence.
Suddenly, the voice of Sima Muyi of the Chinese army came from outside the tent. "General, there is an urgent military report".
Di Qing's expression moved when he heard Mu Yi's voice, and his intuition told him that the emergency military situation that Mu Yi was going to report was very likely to be closely related to the problem he was facing now.
"Come in"
After obtaining permission, Mu Yi, dressed in military uniform, walked quickly into the big tent of the Chinese army, and behind him, there were also several people with embarrassed looks.
Di Qing's eyes quickly scanned over these people, and Mu Yi couldn't speak. He asked directly: "But you found traces of unknown people and horses on the periphery?" ”
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "How did the general know?" The last general was about to tell the story. ”
Di Qing and Bai Jinxiu glanced at each other, and both of them saw a surprise in each other's eyes.
The people who came in with Mu Yi were none other than the King of Qiaoyan, the people sent by Wang Jianghu to report to the Qin army.
They stumbled all the way, and after being interrogated many times, they finally came to the front of the Qin army camp, and happened to meet Sima Muyi, the Chinese army patrolling outside the camp.
As soon as Mu Yi heard these people describe the appearance and equipment of that strange team, he immediately felt that this matter was extraordinary, and he hurriedly took them to find Di Qing.
After Di Qing listened to everything, he just walked quickly to the map and took a closer look at the small mountain village that Mu Yi said.
"That's right, this is it!" Di Qing drew a circle on the location of Shangwang Village with a charcoal pen in his hand and shouted loudly.
"Pass my general order and summon all the generals to come to the big tent to discuss it."
Di Qing turned around and ordered loudly.
After a while, all the main generals of the Qin army poured into Di Qing's Chinese army tent.
After all the generals arrived, Di Qing immediately ordered two things to be arranged, the first thing. The whole army immediately began to storm the city of Jinling. There must be no retreat without an order.
The second thing was that the firearms troops set off immediately, carrying sufficient ammunition and following a few minions under the command of King Jianghu, who had come to report the news, and quickly marched in the direction of Shangwang Village, west of Jinling City.
Now that he knows the real hole cards of the rogue, Di Qing is ruthless.
The reason why Di Qing ordered an all-out siege of the city at the same time was to completely break the illusion of the Luo Ke enemy, and on the other hand, it was also to force the British mercenaries to show up as soon as possible, as long as they dared to come forward, Di Qing had full confidence that the Qin army's firearms troops would definitely teach them a painful lesson.
Soon there was an earth-shaking shout of killing under Jinling City, and hundreds of thousands of Qin troops swept towards Jinling City from three sides like a black wave.
And this time, the Qin army directly used the most advanced artillery and began to attack the city.
Cannonballs roared into the sky. Then it smashed the head of Jinling City.
With a violent explosion and fragments of shells flying everywhere, the lives of the soldiers of the Dashun Army who were densely clustered at the head of the city were mercilessly harvested. The tragic scene made the soldiers of the Dashun Army wail and cry and flee in all directions.
The little morale that had been plucked up because of the previous repulsion of the Qin army's first offensive fell to the freezing point in an instant.
