Chapter 1440: The Spirit Rider Dispatches
Qin Mufeng smiled: "How is it?" Guilin, this is very slippery, we haven't fought yet, he ran first, the most terrible thing is not that they desperately resist, but to run around shamelessly, this Yizhou has been entrenched by the Dutch for nearly 20 years, they are very familiar with the geographical situation of Yizhou, we ourselves are very unfamiliar, once we play hide and seek, we will be in big trouble......"
Tan Guilin was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Master Inspector, then how do we deal with it next?" ”
Qin Mufeng sighed and replied: "If Brother Yifan is here, it won't be too difficult, what he is best at is cat and mouse, every time the military flag is deduced, he will kill me to the point of not leaving a piece of armor, and capture me, the commander of the light pole, now, we can only find a way by ourselves, pass the order, the army will assemble and advance in the direction of Chiji City, order Deng Xiong, temperate the special operations battalion to follow, and encounter a hard bone, and they need their special operations battalion to pounce at any time!" ”
Qin Mufeng's judgment was not bad at all, maybe it was not very good, but his chief of staff, Phillips, was definitely a character, but he had overly believed in the two battleships he had arranged in the area of Canglongkou before, which led to the loss of the fort, and at this time he understood that the fort had been lost.
Phillips felt that something was wrong, the strong combat power of the Tianxiong Army had already been seen, and a hundred people could withstand the attack of their own eight hundred people, although the time was very short, but after all, it was withstanded, if the two sides switched positions, a hundred Dutch troops, even if they were led by themselves, could not withstand the attack of the eight hundred Tianxiong Army, how many Tianxiong troops were there? The scouts sent out came back to report that there were at least 30,000 troops, which was ten times that of the Dutch army, even if you count the mercenaries and private armies of the Dutch, the strength of the Tianxiong army was still six times that of the Dutch army, how to resist such a big gap?
The most terrible thing is the artillery of the Tianxiong Army, eighty flowering cannons, one door is all pulled up to the battery, and it is being assembled, once the attack on the city of Geranza is launched, then the city of Geranza will definitely not be able to hold on, there are only forty artillery pieces in the city of Geranza, and the division is on the four city walls, the firepower is scattered, how can it withstand the fierce attack of the Ming army?
As soon as he returned to Geranza, he began to make defensive arrangements for the city of Geranza, intending to defend the city of Geranza.
Phillips tried his best to dissuade him: "General Yi, our troops are weak, we are divided into two cities, facing 30,000 Tianxiong troops, there is no chance of victory, even if our main fleet comes to help, it may not be able to bring enough land in a short time, and then have a decisive battle with the Ming army, rather than being broken by the Ming army, it is better for us to abandon Geranza and defend the city of Chichi, or put our main force on Wenping Mountain between the city of Geranza and Chichi, condescendingly, defend the mountain, the Ming army in a short time, Absolutely can't help us, if it doesn't work, then we will lead the army to withdraw into Yushan, Yushan is densely forested, the Ming army has nowhere to find our traces, it's a big deal that our main fleet defeated the Ming fleet, we are withdrawing from Yushan, it's not impossible! ”
Listen to it and blow it up, give up the city of Geranza? You can figure it out! Geranza City, since the Dutch landed in Yizhou, they have been operating Geranza, it took 20 years of hard work to have today's scale, just give it up, you don't feel distressed, Lao Tzu is still distressed, you must know that in order to build these two fortified cities, we invested no less than two million taels of silver, just throw it away?
However, the current situation forced him to take the advice of Phillips in the end, because the Tianxiong army was too strong, and the pressure on the city of Geranza was increasing, 30,000 Tianxiong troops, eighty guns, if there were more troops to be increased later, then Geranza would definitely not be able to hold it, and it would be lost sooner or later, and it would be lost before the arrival of the main fleet of the East India Company!
Since sooner or later it will be lost, it is better to take the initiative to let it out, it is better than being driven out by others, at least it can preserve its strength, as Phillips said, now divide the two cities, once the Ming army pounces, it will be divided and surrounded by the opponent, the army of 30,000 people, there is still the possibility of increasing troops at any time, it is too simple to divide and surround the two fortresses, and when the time comes, then you can only wait for death.
Kuichi had to follow Phillips's advice and began to withdraw his troops towards the Red Castle, preparing to defend the Red Castle.
Now the situation is obvious, that is, to run, and then defend the Red Embedded City, continue to resist stubbornly, with the Dutch army operating in the Red Embedded City for 20 years, as long as the Red Embedded City is held, the Dutch army can even hold on to the Red Embedded City for more than half a year, where would Qin Mufeng allow such a thing to happen?
"Guilin, you control the pursuit of the army in the back, I personally lead the cavalry battalion to rush forward, most of this area is plain, the city of Chiji and Gelanza are only a dozen miles away, we want to catch up with the Dutch army, it is impossible at all, only to send out cavalry! This time, Lao Tzu must kill their artillery, otherwise, let them all retreat to the Red Embedded City, and it will be difficult for us to take the Red Embedded City again! ”
Qin Mufeng shouted angrily: "He Qingtian, immediately gather four thousand elite cavalry, follow me to attack, and raid the Dutch army!" ”
He Qingtian hurriedly went down to gather the cavalry, and Tan Guilin rubbed his hands anxiously!
"Master Overseer, if you want to raid with a knife, you have to go, where is your master?"
"Shut up!"
Qin Mufeng said angrily, "You know a fart!" It's your turn to attack and fight, maybe you have to catch up with me, on long-distance running, the entire Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu ranks second, who dares to rank first? You give me an honest lead the army forward, don't tell Lao Tzu about the conditions! ”
Qin Mufeng gave an order, and led five thousand elite horsemen to pounce on him from behind!
Qin Mufeng didn't brag at all, when it came to long-distance attacks, whether it was Zhu Jie or Xu Yifan, both of them admired Qin Mufeng's five-body throw, this kid was born to do this, the advantages of cavalry in his hands were vividly played, what he was best at was lightning tactics, coming and going like the wind, and when he fought against the Manchurian elite cavalry, he never fell behind.
This time, Qin Mufeng can be regarded as returning to his old business, four cavalry, four thousand elite cavalry, all of them are the elite of the Tianxiong Army, the speed is released, and it has been exerted to the extreme!
There is no way, the distance between Gelansha and Chiji City is too close, twelve miles apart, even if the artillery is accompanied, it is only an hour and a half of travel, and there is not much time left for the Tianxiong army, and if it runs slowly, it can only follow behind and eat dirt!
Just from assembling cavalry to catching up with the Dutch army, Qin Mufeng's cavalry only took half an hour, and four thousand elite cavalry came from the southwest and northwest directions!
