Chapter 12 Anti-Encirclement
The defense of Yugan City was already crumbling and in danger, and Lin Shihong watched more and more South Vietnamese soldiers climb the city wall, and a sinister smile appeared on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, Lin Shihong, the king of Nanyue, calculated in his heart that once the city was broken, he would order the army to slaughter the city, including the Xiaoguo army and the people in the city, and kill everyone in the city.
Lin Shihong felt that he had made the right bet this time, and food was no longer a problem when the city was broken. I received a report this morning that the grain and grass escorted by my 10,000 troops were completely destroyed by the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army. If it fails to break through Yugancheng this time, it means that the South Vietnamese army has no food at all, and Lin Shihong will face a huge crisis.
It turned out that in order to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army, Lin Shihong sent 10,000 troops from Yuzhang City to Yugan City to escort grain and grass.
At the beginning, the South Vietnamese army thought that the escort of 10,000 troops was very safe, so they were not vigilant, but they were finally exploited by the cavalry of the Xiaoguo army, resulting in serious losses of grain and grass.
Later, the South Vietnamese army escorting the grain began to be careful, and the 10,000 troops wrapped in grain and grass to guard against the sneak attack of the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army.
The cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army saw that the South Vietnamese Army was marching cautiously and there was no loophole to exploit, so they had to find another way to deal with it.
The cavalry regiment led Xu Liqiang and Zhang Shigang to find that there was a river between Yuzhang and Yugancheng that was the necessary place for the South Vietnamese army to transport grain, so the regiment led Xu Liqiang and Zhang Shigang to lead the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army to build a dam to store water in the upper reaches of the river and cut off the flow of water.
The riverbed was quite wide, and it was not too much water during the dry season, and the South Vietnamese army went back and forth several times.
This time, the South Vietnamese army crossed the river and transported grain and grass in the direction of Yu Gan City.
When all the vehicles carrying grain and grass entered the river, it broke down, and a roar was heard from the upper reaches of the river. In the exclamation of the South Vietnamese soldiers, the huge water rushed away with the South Vietnamese soldiers, food and grass.
After the flood passed, the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army took advantage of the chaos of the enemy army to rush and kill, and the South Vietnamese army fled in confusion.
It was this batch of grain and grass that was cut off halfway by the cavalry of the Xiaoguo Army that caused the South Vietnamese Army to completely run out of food, forcing Lin Shihong to make a desperate attempt to storm Yugan City.
After an hour of siege, the South Vietnamese army was also very tired, the key was that they were hungry, and the little soup they ate was not worth it at all. Fighting a war is physically demanding, and many people are sweating.
The soldiers saw that more and more people were going up the walls, and the hope of breaking the city was growing, so they could only endure hunger and continue to attack the city. The city is about to be broken, and there is enough food and grass in Yugan City, which is also the biggest ** in front of the South Vietnamese soldiers.
Just when Lin Shihong and the South Vietnamese Army had the greatest hope, and the Xiaoguo Army defending the city had begun to feel desperate, a cannon suddenly sounded in the distance outside the South City Gate, and the sound of the cannon echoed over the battlefield for a long time......
Lin Shihong was stunned, and the soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army who were besieging the city were stunned, this cannon sound meant that reinforcements from the Xiaoguo Army might have arrived.
The soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army defending the city were also unconsciously stunned when they heard the sound of artillery, and turned to show ecstatic expressions on their faces, and the crowd was excited.
The regiment led Song Weizhao and Gong Xiaoxiang to take the opportunity to shout loudly: "The general is back, brothers kill me!" Encouraged by this, the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army burst out with great potential and slaughtered the terrified South Vietnamese soldiers on the city wall in one fell swoop.
The echo of the cannon fire in the south has not yet fallen, and the cannon sound has sounded in the east, west, and north directions one after another, and the rumbling cannon sound is constantly dripping and whirling over Yugan City......
The aftermath of the cannon was still surrounding in the mountains, and the neat square formations of the Xiaoguo army appeared first in the east and north of Yugan City, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds flashed and pressed towards the back of the South Vietnamese army.
Immediately afterwards, an army also appeared in the south of Yugancheng. And to the west of the city, a large number of cavalry were moving in this direction.
Seeing a large number of Xiaoguo troops appear in their rear, the soldiers of the South Vietnamese army who were besieging the city jumped down from the ladder on the city wall in a panic, and the South Vietnamese army outside Yugan City suddenly became chaotic, and some people had begun to flee in panic.
The Xiaoguo army in the north numbered 20,000, lined up in a huge formation, fully armed, and pressed forward, and in the sun, the swords and guns glittered with cold light.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ā
The huge formation moved forward in unison, and the sound of killing resounded through the mountains.
The east side of Yu Gan City is also a formation of 20,000 people, advancing from east to west, and the sound of killing is shocking, and the army is so powerful that the soldiers of the South Vietnamese Army are terrified.
Immediately after that, a phalanx of 20,000 Xiaoguo troops also appeared in the south of Yugancheng, the army was clearly armored, the swords, guns, swords and halberds were shining cold, and the sound of killing shook the sky and resounded through the sky.
The South Vietnamese soldiers had no way to run, turned around and ran back, and were compressed under the city of Yugan.
In fact, at the most critical moment in Yugancheng, the army led by Xin Lei had just arrived. The situation was already critical, and Xin Lei immediately ordered 20,000 troops to rush to the outside of the eastern city to arrange.
Outside the southern city, Xin Lei also arranged 20,000 troops, and the army had not yet finished the formation, and Xin Lei had already ordered the artillery to be fired.
To the north of Yugan City, there were already troops lurking here, they were the second and third regiments of the Xiaoguo Army, as well as part of the city defense army. Although Qiao Hengbo and Chen Hongcang were very anxious in their hearts, seeing that Yu Gancheng was about to be breached, they almost couldn't help but want to lead the army to rush forward.
However, in order not to startle the snake, they could only carry out the order on the spot, wait for the general to lead the army to arrive, and besiege the enemy army on all sides to form a joint encirclement. Only in this way can Lin Shihong's South Vietnamese army be surrounded outside Yugan City in one fell swoop, so that it can be wiped out.
It turned out that when Lin Shihong led the army to invade Yu Gancheng, Song Weizhao and Gong Xiaoxiang, who were guarding Yu Gancheng, issued a warning to the outside world.
After Qiao Hengbo, the leader of the second regiment who was still in Boyang City, got the news, he immediately sent a fast horse to deliver the information to Xin Lei, the general who was still in the field.
Qiao Hengbo and Chen Hongcang led the army to lurk on the outskirts of Yugan City, waiting for an opportunity to move. In the event of a crisis in Yugancheng, it is good to support at any time.
As a result, Xin Lei had to end the raiding operation ahead of schedule and led more than 60,000 troops to reflexively rush back. Yesterday, we arrived at Yingtan to rest and continue our journey, marching all the way to sixty miles away from Yugan City before resting.
Today, after a morning march, at noon separated Yugan only ten miles, the fast horse came to report that the battle in Yugancheng was fierce, and Lin Shihong desperately threw all his troops into attacking the city.
Xin Lei immediately realized that this was the best time to eliminate Lin Shihong's South Vietnamese army, and arranged while marching, and launched a combat operation to encircle and suppress Lin Shihong.
When the defense of Yugan City was at a critical moment, the layout of more than 80,000 Xiaoguo troops to counter-encircle Lin Shihong's army was finally completed, and the artillery of the general attack sounded......
