Chapter 677: Tentative Attack

Gao Qi returned to the main force in a hurry, and when he saw Guo Ye, he shouted hatefully: "Big brother, what the hell, Lao Tzu has smashed this battle!" What kind of broken place is this, there is no way to even charge, there is mud everywhere, and if you kick in, you can't pull out your legs! ”

Guo Ye smiled faintly and said: "Okay, it's not a big deal, it is naturally difficult for you to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army on the tidal flats by the lake, the Taiping Army is all southerners, and they are extremely familiar with the terrain, so they are naturally familiar with it, you are new to the city, and you still want to fight like you used to fight in the north?" That's a dream! ”

Gao Qi was deflated for a while and asked, "What should I do then?" If this is the terrain all the time, we will not even think about fighting! ”

Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "It's okay, as long as we don't get close to the tidal flats, we will be fine soon?" Now that we are on the south bank of the Huai River, there will no longer be rivers, lakes or even tidal flats to bother us, Shi Dakai is still waiting for us in Huainan, let's go, let the main force of the Taiping Army teach us how powerful! ”

Guo Ye said, commanding the troops of the three brigades to advance quickly towards the Taiping Army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Huainan City, Shi Dakai naturally just sit still, Huainan City City Defense Department is tall, and the war is so urgent, Huainan City rarely has a big war, this fortification is very loose, and it is difficult to build a really strong fortification in a short time.

Shi Daxing understood that if more than 100,000 people were all stationed in Huainan City, it would be impossible, and now he needed to break the battle and confront Guo Ye, one to protect the safety of Huainan City, and the other was to expand the troops in the open territory and give full play to the advantages of strong troops.

Shi Dakai concentrated all the foreign gun battalions and artillery battalions under the city of Huainan, occupied a high ground, and arranged fortifications; The other ordinary main forces are separated on the left and right sides, blocking the entire Huainan City behind them, standing in a triangular position, and the three large battalions echo each other from afar.

Shi Dakai is much smarter than Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang, the army equipped with firearms is in the center, and the two ordinary main forces are protecting at any time on the left and right, once the elite main force is difficult to resist the opponent's firepower attack, the troops on both sides are to launch a fast attack, quickly approaching Guo Ye's army, and pressing Guo Ye's two wings with superior forces to reduce the pressure on the elite main force; If the Lu army attacks the flank, the elite main force in the middle can launch a fierce attack on the Lu army at any time to support the flank, the three positions echo each other from afar, and the 70,000 troops are concentrated.

It's just that Shi Dakai had just set up his position, and Long Kaisheng led the defeated army back.

Gao Qi was angry, Long Kaisheng was even more angry enough, he ambushed well, and only ambushed some targets, the golden cicada of the Lu army came out of his shell, and he had already landed on the shore, and he was still kept in the dark, which was really annoying, and when he was most unlucky, he didn't steal the chicken and rice, and was besieged by people for a while, but the foreign gun battalion suffered a lot of casualties, and there were more than ten guns with varying degrees of damage, which was definitely a loss!

"Wing King, our ambush failed, what's the matter, this Guo Ye is too ghostly, he actually guessed in advance that we had set up an ambush in Qianhu, and landed on the shore halfway, and even hit us in an ambush!"

Long Kai snorted and said to Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai's face sank, and he shouted: "Kaisheng, everything is expected to win before defeat, you think that there will still be loopholes in the matter of holding the handle, won't you send spies on the periphery of Qianhu?" The golden cicada of the Lu army came out of its shell, it was tens of thousands of troops, and you didn't even notice it! What did you do as a general? Also, didn't you notice something wrong when you attacked? There are so many ships with no people on them, and there are no weapons, you can't see it? ”

Long Kaisheng's face was red, and he was ashamed.

Shi Dakai sighed and said: "Fortunately, the loss is not too big, and your reaction is timely, if it is slower, it will definitely be wiped out, this Guo Ye is really not simple......"

Zhang Suimou shook his head and replied: "Yiwang, this time Kaisheng is dragging the blessing of the swamp and tidal flats, the army from the north is very unsuitable for the tidal flat environment, so he gave Kaisheng the opportunity to escape, I think it is definitely not that Kaisheng found it early, nor that the Lu army's combat strength is not good or does not want to annihilate us, but they were more than capable at the time, and their forces could not be quickly deployed and advanced by the lake, so they gave us the opportunity to escape......

Shi Dakai was silent for a while, Zhang Suimou's analysis was good, the tidal flats contained the offensive of the Qing Demon, otherwise, it was really enough for Long Kaisheng to drink a pot. It's just that the tidal flats can contain the attack of the Qing Demon, and now under Huainan City, all of them are plains or hills, and if the attack of the Qing Demon is contained, how strong is the combat power of the Qing Demon? Shi Dakai doesn't have any foundation in his heart now......

Shi Dakai lifted his spirits and replied slowly: "Okay, don't forget the past, the teacher of the future, have a long memory, and we will be more cautious next time; To win, immediately mobilize the technicians of the artillery battalion, prepare to repair the damaged artillery, and arrange all the artillery in the Chinese army camp, we are facing a strong enemy, and we must not separate the strongest combat forces, we must concentrate them together and give full play to their maximum might. Well, in one day, two days at most, Guo Ye's army will arrive, let's meet them well! ”

Shi Dakai was right, in just one day, Guo Ye advanced the battle line to Huainan City.

It's just that Guo Ye didn't rush to attack, but began to deploy fortifications on the position, one after another trench fortifications, quickly appeared on the position, and the trenches were also only connected together, and the huge fortifications of the entire Lu army position were built in one day.

Shi Dakai looked at the Lu army's position in the distance with a surprised face, what was Guo Ye doing on the position? This position is almost unheard of! The trenches that appeared in the telescope were all in one piece, but could such trenches defend against artillery attacks?

Shi Da was shocked and suspicious, and Zhang Suimou on the side said fiercely: "Lord, no matter what, let's fight them first, and then touch their bottoms!" ”

Shi Dakai nodded and said, "Okay, order our artillery battalion to carry out two rounds of artillery bombardment towards the position of the Qing Demon, test the reaction of the Qing Demon, and all units will immediately enter a state of combat readiness and be ready to fight at any time!" ”

Zhang Suimou hurriedly went down to deploy, and more than 50 artillery pieces were mobilized and began to launch the first wave of offensive towards the Lu army's position!

Boom Boom Boom ......

On the position of the Lu army, Gao Qi was stunned for a while, what is the matter, Lao Tzu hasn't made a move yet, you actually started to provoke first! (To be continued.) )
