Chapter 110: How to Eat Dumplings
"Making dumplings? Dudu, isn't it a little too big to do this..."Although it was the first time he heard this word, Zhu Qinglan quickly understood the meaning.
You must know that the Shu army on the opposite side has at least twenty or thirty thousand people, which is a lot more than their entire strength, and the two wings are outflanked and eaten directly? This is a question that Zhu Qinglan can't even think of.
However, Zhu Qinglan didn't dare to think about it, but it didn't mean that Yan Guang didn't dare to think about it.
"As long as you can eat the twenty or thirty thousand people on the opposite side, it can not only inflict a heavy blow on Zhang Peijue, but also make the morale of the Shu army extremely low." Saying that, Yan Guang glanced at Zhu Qinglan. "In this way, it is not delusional to solve the problem of Yucheng within a week."
The idea of eating dumplings was thought of by Yan Guang after seeing the battle just now, a regiment of 2,000 people can grab a position, and press and fight the 2 regiments inside and the 1 regiment that rushed to support, you must know that it is more than 6,000 people in 3 regiments...
If one of your own regiments can suppress the 3 regiments of the Shu army, then with 8 infantry regiments and a cavalry regiment on hand, how many Shu troops can you pack?
It's just that although Yan Guang thought so, Zhu Qinglan didn't dare to agree, but just when he wanted to refute, Sunil on the side spoke. "This idea is not impossible to realize..."
"Mr. Sunil!" Hearing Sunil say the same, Zhu Qinglan was surprised.
Glancing apologetically at Zhu Qinglan, Sunil turned his head to Yan Guang's side. "I need to study the specific plan with my colleagues, but I suggest that we reinforce a regiment now and attract all the troops of the Shu army to the front, so that it will be much smoother when implementing the plan."
"Okay, then I'll leave it all to you." Pushing the map in his hand to Sunil, Yan Guang got up and said to Yang Shan on the side. "You send a regiment up to support, remember, you must drag the forces of the Shu army on the position in front of you!"
"Humble duty understands!" Saluting towards Yan Guang, Yang Shan conveyed the order to the communication soldiers on the side.
In this special period at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in order to ensure its own rule, the Manchu government spent a lot of money to build a new army, but the main "flag soldiers", "green battalions" and "brave battalions" in the past were drastically reduced and reorganized.
It may be a joke played by history, the new army, which had high hopes, finally became the main force against the Qing Dynasty, and the patrol battalion, the target of the reduction, became the optimus pillar of the Manchu political axe.
Of course, the patrol battalions would be so desperate not because they were loyal to the Manchus, but out of jealousy of the new army. Jealous of the salaries of the new army, jealous of the good treatment of the new army, and even jealous of the military uniforms and weapons used by the new army, but this jealousy became a comparison when it came to Yan Guang.
It's just that now the military salaries of both sides are the same, the treatment is just as good, and even the military uniforms and weapons will soon become the same, so what should be compared next? It can only be a comparison of military achievements. So when they saw the new army in the front in the limelight, they quickly turned red in the back, and at this time the order was issued at the right time...
"I didn't expect the morale down there to be quite strong." Seeing the soldiers of a regiment rushing forward with a scream, Yan Guang, who didn't understand the situation, nodded with satisfaction, and then ran to the side to study the map with Sunil and them.
And Wang Tianjie on the other side, after noticing the reinforcements of a regiment sent by Yan Guang, their faces also changed.
"Governor, let's send some reinforcements up quickly!"
"Yes, Governor, send some more."
"The Governor..."
Gritting his teeth, Wang Tianjie finally nodded. "Okay, then send two more target troops up, remember, you must drive those people from the Sichuan army out of the position!"
"Yes!" The heralds who received the order ran down, and soon the troops of the two targets rushed to the front line for reinforcements.
Maybe it's luck, more than a thousand people passing by in the tunnel didn't notice the melon seeds and his brother-in-law hiding in the corner, but...
"Brother-in-law, are we still going to hide?" Although the head of the melon seed is indeed a little melon, it can be seen that this battle will not end in a while.
Guazi's brother-in-law gritted his teeth. "Hide, it's impossible to say if you go out now, at least we can't go out until it's dark."
The melon seeds were obedient, so they just nodded and didn't say anything.
However, listening to the increasingly fierce gunfire outside, Guazi's brother-in-law was a little weak-hearted.
"If the desertion is discovered, I'm afraid I'll be pulled out to sacrifice the flag..."
――――――――――
More than an hour has passed, and the sun in the sky has risen to the center, but fortunately, it is November at this time, and the temperature at this time is just right for Sichuan, which is located in the southwest. However, for the soldiers of the Sichuan and Shu armies, who were engaged in a tug-of-war in the first line, this was a rather difficult day.
Fortunately, more than an hour has passed, and Yan Guang's plan on the map has been preliminarily completed.
However, looking at the plan in front of him, Zhu Qinglan still has opposing opinions, and there are many officers who have the same opinion as him, after all, the Shu army on the opposite side has 20,000 or 30,000 people, and it is really a risky thing to use 20,000 troops to eat more enemies than himself.
"This is an order, I don't need your opinion, I just need you to carry it out, understand?"
Yan Guang, who was annoyed, had no choice, and finally had to use orders to calm down Zhu Qinglan and them.
However, although Zhu Qinglan and the others quieted down, they were not convinced by their expressions.
Yan Guang didn't pay much attention to this, facts speak louder than words, as long as the plan can be successful, naturally no one will say anything more.
"Since everyone has no opinions, then I will explain the implementation steps of the plan..."Ignoring the officers, especially the expression on Zhu Qinglan's face, Sunil hung the map on the wall, and then drew a few arrows on it with a pen.
"At present, a large number of troops of the Shu army are attracted by us to the first line of defense, and according to the reports of the soldiers returning from the front line, the Shu army that is engaged in a tug-of-war with them has at least 6 regiments, that is, more than 12,000 people. According to our observations, the strength of the Shu army in front of us is only about 20,000 or 30,000 people, which means that there are only more than 10,000 people left in the hands of the commander of the Shu army now, and there will be no more than 20,000 at most, while the troops that can be deployed in our hands are 15,000 people.
After deducting the reserve of one regiment that remained in place to deal with emergencies, we can deploy five infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment. When the attack was launched, the left and right flanks of the Shu army each launched two infantry regiments to quickly advance to occupy positions, blocking and encircling, and the fastest cavalry regiment was outflanking...
In addition to the enemy in front of us, the closest thing to us was the enemy army in Tongliang Town, which was more than 40 kilometers away from Tongnan County, and considering the problems of roads and communications, even a rapid march would take more than half a day. And before that, as long as we can surround the enemy in front of us and eat it like dumplings, then the rest of the Shu army will be terrified..."
With that, Sunil glanced at the officers below. "Perhaps the Governor's words may seem whimsical to you, but please believe that he is not out of reach!"
