After the combat meeting, Huang Qiying went back with the officers of the second battalion, and they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Vietnamese army had not yet arrived to quickly familiarize themselves with the terrain, and at the same time sent scouts to search for the enemy. The first battalion hurried to build fortifications, and now there was only one company left in the engineer battalion, and the engineers and some infantry of each company also joined the construction army.

Three days later, Li Zishan rushed back to the camp and reported: Two days ago, about 5,000 Vietnamese troops set out from Hanoi, went down the Red River, stayed in Nanding for a day, and added more than 1,000 people to the sea.

This intelligence confirmed that Liang Sihan's judgment was correct. Before this information, there was speculation that the Vietnamese would fight the Liang Jiajun, but now that the speculation has become true, many people have become more nervous.

Young Master Liang knew that this was people's instinctive fear of war, of life and death, and only by overcoming this fear could they grow into a real soldier. And the best way to overcome this fear is to lead them to victory.

Victory can make people's blood boil and adrenaline soar! Overriding fear!

Grand Master Liang immediately consulted with the staff officers to speculate on the possible landing site of the Vietnamese army. Since the Vietnamese army stopped at Nanding and increased its strength, then they should have received an order to combine the forces of several large cities in the north and unite to form a large army to attack our army. There are three big cities of Vinh City, Dong Hai and Quang Tri from Nam Dinh to the south, and Quang Tri is only about twenty-five kilometers away from the royal city of Hue, and the camp of the Liang family army is one or two kilometers north of the royal city of Hue, so it can be presumed that the landing point of this Vietnamese army, that is, the last meeting point, is in Quang Tri.

If the Vietnamese army were to attack in the direction of our camp from Quang Tri, then they would be in the middle of the 1st and 2nd battalions, which would be very advantageous to our side.

Grand Commander Liang immediately ordered the special combat team to search for information on the Vietnamese army in Quang Tri and Dong Hai, and immediately report back when they discovered the enemy's situation.

The signal corps was ordered to immediately inform the 2nd Battalion, and the 2nd Battalion was asked to pay attention to the movements in the direction of Donghae and Quang Tri, and to establish an information channel between the 1st and 2nd Battalion composed of signal corps and scouts to quickly report the information they had obtained.

The timing of the second battalion's attack is very important, and it is best to choose to give the enemy's rear a heavy blow after the Vietnamese army starts fighting with us and enters a stalemate state, disrupting the opponent's military morale. So the 2nd battalion must be clear about all the movements of the enemy forces.

Although it is speculated that the Vietnamese army will land from Quang Tri, it cannot be ruled out that the enemy army will be cautious, land at Dong Hai, and then attack all the way south.

There is a lack of understanding of the combat methods of the Vietnamese army, the level of operations, and so on, and more possibilities need to be taken into account.

In fact, now that the Vietnamese army has just arrived in Dong Hai, after gathering more than 1,000 Vietnamese troops here, they will leave immediately and go to Quang Tri. After converging the last army in Quang Tri, take a short rest, reconnoiter the situation of that enemy army by the way, and send people to go around the enemy army in a boat to Hue to report, agree on the time and steps of the attack, and flank the enemy on both sides.

After all, they had just fought the French several times, and the country had been in constant turmoil in the past few years, and the war experience was quite rich. Therefore, the weak chicken that Young Master Liang is looking for is only weaker than the Western army, and they are not much worse than the Qing army.

Coincidentally, both sides want to attack each other on both sides, one side has strong troops, and the other side has advanced weapons.

The special combat members of the Liang Jiajun can be said to have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Vietnam these days. Orion brothers Gao Shan Gaoyao and Flying Knife Lin Kun had just arrived at Donghai and found that the sea ship on which the Vietnamese army was traveling had set sail, and the three of them didn't need to inquire about the news anymore, so they turned around and went back. Fortunately, their captain stole a few horses for them, otherwise they would not have broken their legs during the more than 100-kilometer journey, and the special combat team members were not superhuman.

Hearing the news that the Vietnamese army landed and landed in Quang Tri as they wished, the Liang family army was a little relieved. Now that the situation is clear, get ready for war!

The two armies of the Vietnamese army in the north and south each have more than 10,000 people, the second battalion of the Liang family army in the north is more than 1,000 people, and the main force in the south is more than 1,300 people. The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great.

The war began in such a disparity in forces.

The leader of the coalition army in northern Vietnam was Nguyen Bo Ng, and the Vietnamese army in Hanoi under his direct command had 5,000 men, the largest number of troops in the coalition army, so he was naturally the leader of this coalition army. The other armies came from Nam Dinh, Rong City, Dong Hai, and Quang Tri. There were more than 1,000 people, and there were 8,900 people. The coalition forces totaled more than 10,000 men.

Now more than 10,000 people are setting off from Guangzhi City and embarking on the journey with confidence. Where does their faith come from? Because the news came from the Vietnamese army in Haiphong that the enemy army in Hongji City had been routed and fled by them, according to this analysis, the combat effectiveness of this enemy army of unknown origin was not strong, and there were only more than 1,000 people. All the generals of the Vietnamese army seemed to have seen victory beckoning to them, and the reward for meritorious service was just around the corner.

The scouts of the Liang Jiajun discovered the enemy's situation, and the first battalion had already built defensive fortifications five kilometers away from Guangzhi, and the various units were already in place and were waiting for the rabbit. The second battalion also set out from its concealment, ready to give the enemy a surprise blow.

The battle soon began, and the artillery of the Liang Jiajun was the first to fire! The artillery of the first battalion was already ready, and the firing elements of each artillery position were prepared under the guidance of the instructors, and as soon as the enemy appeared in the predetermined position of the official road, the artillery immediately opened fire!

Twelve 24-pounder cannons opened fire in turn, and 24 twelve-pounder guns belonging to each infantry company immediately opened fire, and the dense artillery bombardment stunned the Vietnamese army at once!

The sudden and fierce bombardment woke up all the Vietnamese generals, and it seems that this enemy army is not a soft persimmon at all! The generals of the coalition forces hurriedly ordered their subordinates: "Get down!" Get down! "I don't know if it's useful to lie down.

The leader of the coalition forces, Nguyen Bo Yi, was in the Chinese army, and had not yet been bombarded by artillery shells, so he immediately ordered to stop the advance, and he knew the lethality of artillery shells after fighting with the French army, and according to past experience, it was impossible to last with this kind of artillery bombardment, and when the enemy's shells were about the same, they would naturally stop, and it would not be too late to charge at that time.

Grand Master Liang was also watching the battlefield and when he saw that the Vietnamese army had stopped advancing, he immediately ordered the artillery bombardment to stop. The enemy is outside the range of shells, so naturally there is no need to waste shells. He opened artillery at the beginning, first, to catch them by surprise and kill the morale of the Vietnamese army, and second, to attract the attention of the Vietnamese army to this side, which was conducive to the rapid positioning of the second battalion.

Seeing that the opponent's artillery really stopped as he wished, Ruan Boyi immediately ordered the Vietnamese army to continue to charge, and strictly ordered all units to speed up the charge, rush forward in one go, and drown the enemy army by relying on the tactics of crowds.

But unexpectedly, the opponent's artillery fire rang out again, and the density of firepower did not decrease, and the helpless Ruan Boyi had to order to stop the charge again. As a result of the accelerated speed of the charge, the number of Vietnamese troops bombarded by artillery shells also increased considerably, and the casualties were even higher than just now.

The morale of the Vietnamese troops who had been hit twice had dropped too much, and the soldiers had become resistant and unwilling to risk their lives in this way.

Liang Jiajun's morale has doubled, the first time he is really on the battlefield, it is impossible not to be nervous and afraid, seeing that the enemy has suffered heavy casualties in the two charges, and has stagnated in the face of his own artillery fire, the original nervousness and fear have suddenly subsided a lot. The artillerymen were even more excited, and they screamed with joy when they saw that the enemy troops were blown up by themselves.

Ruan Boyi was also a little uncertain at this time, but he had a military order and could not retreat. His eyes rolled around a few times, ruthlessly, it seems that he can only take human lives to fill the opponent's artillery fire, and now there are troops from other places present, just let them fill it, and they don't have to lose their strength, believe that the military order is in hand, they dare not disobey!

So Ruan Boyi ordered the still intact Nanding army to charge the enemy!

The defenders of Nanding had to obey the order to charge, and the defenders in other places hid aside and remained silent in the spirit of the mentality of a friend of the dead and the poor.

The fate of the poor Nanding army is naturally self-evident, the charge of more than 1,000 people, after being killed and wounded by artillery fire, immediately retreated, leaving many seriously injured soldiers crying and crying for help on the position, but everyone is too late to flee for their lives, who will risk death to save people!

The Nan Dinh army contributed, and Ruan Boyi naturally criticized them for retreating too early; Next, he ordered the army of Rong to attack.

The defenders of Rong City had no choice but to charge as ordered. But with the example in front of them, they have already made up their minds to be good, and they can't do it desperately. The defenders of Donghai and Gwangji who lined up behind them also thought so.

At this time, Young Master Liang got the news that the second teaching battalion had been arranged in place.
