Chapter 558: Cutting off one of its fingers

"The whole army goes to war?"

He Qimou's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said, "Yezi, this is too urgent, right?" And the whole army went to war, so what should Baoding City do? Once the bandits sneak attack Baoding City, then everything is over! ”

Guo Ye glanced at He Qimou and said, "Why, do you think Baoding City is so easy to be captured?" Could it be that the twisted bandits can't grow wings and be able to fly into Baoding City? They have cavalry, don't you have cavalry too? The whole army was dispatched, and fought to the death with the twisted bandits in Qingyuan, even if they wanted to raid Baoding Mansion, the Mongolian cavalry had no time to return to the defense, is there any other force in China that is better at riding and shooting than the Mongolian cavalry? ”

He Qimou is like an initiation, yes, just worried about the safety of Baoding City, now he still has 3,000 cavalry, and all of them are issued muskets, although this shooting technique is very average, but it is better than nothing, it is better than a bow and arrow, right? Maybe the twist bandits are very powerful, but simply testing the kung fu on horseback, the Mongolian cavalry is really not worse than them!

At such a close distance, if the bandits want to raid, it is impossible, the cavalry can rush to the aid of Baoding City at any time, and the whole army is concentrated, it is more than scattered defense in the four directions, and unless there is a large-scale detour like last time, but it takes time!

He Qimou asked, "Then, how do we fight?" ”

Guo Ye tore off the map on the wall and said, "You come and tell me, what is the situation ahead now?" ”

He Qimou said in a deep voice: "According to the information given to me by Zhangzi, now our soldiers in Baoding Town are sticking to the front line of Wangpan Town, and have deployed a defensive position here, blocking all the 30,000 Twist Army in the south of Qingyuan, and the 30,000 Twist Army is lined up to besiege the position on three sides, however, the position is solid, and we have three artillery battalions, which can cover a distance of more than ten miles from east to west. It's just that the opponent's forces are too strong, and for the sake of prudence, Zhang Zi has not launched a counterattack, waiting for the twisted army to show fatigue. ”

Guo Ye nodded and said, "Thirty thousand twisted troops, they are really willing to invest in the capital!" However, less than 5,000 people, defending 30,000 twisted troops, in the huge open area, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, the best defense can only be active attack, passive defense, once they are caught, the soldiers will encounter big trouble......"

He Qimou replied: "Yes, this Zhang Zongyu is the first class general in the twist army, cunning as a fox, the best at cavalry combat, the cavalry under his command, come and go without a trace, erratic, the former he launched a raid on Baoding City, with 6,000 cavalry to the east, after three days of running, raid Dongcheng, if it is not for the artillery and cavalry to return in time, I am afraid that Baoding City will fall, even if they are finally repulsed, our cavalry has also suffered huge losses......"

Guo Ye was a little silent, if the other party was infantry, it would not be difficult to defeat the other party, but now the twisted bandits are all cavalry, and their mobility is too strong, if they want to defeat them, then they can only fight hard, and now all the troops on their side are combined, and they are only about 8,000 people, facing 30,000 twisted troops, there is no doubt that the pressure is huge.

"Where are the cavalry of Baoding Town now?"

Guo Ye asked suddenly.

He Qimou replied: "Now the cavalry battalion is under the command of He Tengjiao, all deployed on the right flank of the position, after the last battle, our cavalry losses in Baoding Town are not small, and now I am afraid that there are less than 1,000 people......

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows, it seems that this Zhang Zongyu is really not simple, he can bring such huge casualties to his cavalry, which is not what ordinary military generals can do, his Baoding Town cavalry has fought with the Cossack cavalry, and the combat power is so strong, in China, there is absolutely no one who can do it!

Guo Ye sneered: "One thousand people, plus three thousand Mongolian cavalry, is enough!" ”

Guo Ye straightened up and shouted: "Immediately give Wang Huanzhang an order, order, the first artillery battalion and the second artillery battalion move towards the right flank, the second artillery battalion, don't go out for the time being, hide the combat power, and when the battle on the right flank is stalemate, put the two artillery battalions into the battle on the right flank and attack with all their might!" The rest of the departments of Baoding Town remain unchanged and are ready to fight! Brother Qimou, immediately gather all the Mongolian cavalry, distribute at least fifteen rounds of ammunition to each of the soldiers, go out of the northern city, make a detour to the western city, and prepare for battle! ”

He Qimou's heart moved, and asked: "Yezi, are you, this is the part that wants to concentrate forces to fight the Twist Army?" ”

Guo Ye sneered: "Of course, it is better to cut off one of its fingers than to hurt its ten fingers, I just want to concentrate the main forces, first cut off one of the arms of the twisted bandits, and completely defeat the arrogance of the twisted army, as long as they kill their left wing cavalry and get on the vitality of the twisted bandits, the outcome of this battle is doomed!" ”

He Qimou calculated, on the west side, the Twist Army concentrated almost eight or nine thousand troops, and launched an attack on the right flank position of Baoding Town, basically using these forces, this time Guo Ye mobilized two artillery battalions in one breath, plus two more cavalry battalions in Baoding Town, and the three thousand troops of the Mongolian cavalry, although the strength is still weak, but with their own strong combat power and firepower, it is entirely possible to defeat the left flank of the Twist Army, the only variable is that the cavalry of the Twist Army has a strong mobility ability, Support for the right wing at any time......"

"Yezi, what if the other side does everything they can to support their left flank?"

Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "Do your best to support the left wing? Then they have to have such a thing, I will not give them such a chance! ”

Guo Ye has enough confidence that if the two artillery battalions attack with all their might, plus the four thousand cavalry equipped with muskets, they can't defeat a part of the Twist Army in a short period of time, then Baoding Town will be too wasteful, and they have been taught for so many years in vain!

He Qimou was a little uncertain in his heart, after all, the soldiers of Baoding Town could fight, it was true, but his Mongolian cavalry, whether they could maintain such a strong combat effectiveness, that was a matter of two words, and now they had to do their best, Guo Ye gave himself a chance to take revenge, if he couldn't grasp it, then it would be no wonder to others!

"Yezi, don't worry, this time, our Mongolian cavalry must show their own prestige!"

Saying this, He Qimou turned around and walked out, and began to prepare for the next battle.

Wang Pan Town, Wang Huanzhang also received an order from Baoding Mansion, Wang Huanzhang heard that it was an order from the eldest brother, and he became excited, obviously, this is to concentrate on breaking through the part, or the eldest brother is full of courage, as soon as he comes up, he will press all the belongings up!

"The 1st Artillery Battalion, the 2nd Artillery Battalion immediately moved towards the right flank, Lao Gao, press the artillery you brought with me too!"
