Chapter 156: Sheng Yong and Fu Youde's plan

On the Guangwu Mountain.

Sheng Yong has been watching it for a long, long time.

Not far away, there is a hot air balloon hanging high. Overlooking Guangwu Mountain. It is impossible for any military dispatch by Sheng Yong to escape the eyes of the other side.

Sheng Yong is also used to this thing.

The Guangwu Mountain battlefield is not just here. Instead, it stretches for miles.

Although, because of the characteristics of the Yellow River. Many places on the south bank of the Yellow River are not suitable for landing. It is also difficult to transfer supplies on some beaches. Many of them were only able to leave, and as soon as the gun carriage passed, they fell into half of their bodies.

Still let the Northern Army grope for several ways.

What made Sheng Yong feel even more desperate was that. The first pontoon bridge across the Yellow River on the opposite side will be built.

At that time, the army of the Northern Army could rush directly to the south shore without taking a boat.

At that time, the situation in Guangwu Mountain will be difficult to maintain.

After all, the big war is fought here. If you just talk about the proportion of casualties. The Southern Army was not much different from the Northern Army before. It can even be said that the number of casualties of the Southern Army was less than that of the Northern Army. For the Northern Army. The biggest reason for the casualties is logistics, even if the Northern Army desperately loses firepower, it is because of logistics reasons, and the firepower cannot be piled up.

I can only fight hard.

In addition, the southern army occupies the advantage of terrain, and it is normal for the current situation to appear.

But as soon as the pontoon bridge was repaired. It's not going to be easy.

And Sheng Yong also saw that there was not just a pontoon bridge on the opposite side, but several pontoon bridges under construction. It's not that Sheng Yong didn't send people to attack or destroy, but not to mention whether he can succeed, just after success, the other side will recover quickly.

The sacrifices made seem to be of little use.

"Time, time." Sheng Yong had a headache, he couldn't wait to turn the sun and moon and let the time jump to the next month or two, because it was the rainy season. Once the Yellow River rises, I don't know if these pontoon bridges will be able to stay behind, but the northern army camped along the south bank will all rush into the Yellow River as fish and turtles.

This is also the idea that Sheng Yong originally insisted on.

Persistence is victory. Survive until the rainy season, and the Yellow River will punish the Northern Army in his place.

Of course, it is more likely that the north saw that something could not be done, so it retreated in advance to end the war in the first half of this year.

It bought several months for the Nanjing court.

It's just that it can't be anymore.

Sheng Yong's biggest problem is not the casualties of soldiers. The forces in his hands are still relatively sufficient. But all kinds of gunpowder and firearms were almost worn out.

After all, it is impossible to use all kinds of firearms all the time, and after being used for a long time, there will be wear and tear. It's just that this kind of wear and tear doesn't seem to be big, and it seems to be normal for ordinary artillery to be used with care, and wars are infrequent, and it seems to be normal to use it for more than ten years, or even for hundreds of years.

But the intensity of the war is not the same.

Now once the Northern Army is daylight, all artillery units will open fire. Or bombard the opponent's camp to open up the direction of attack for the northern soldiers, or suppress the opponent's foot soldiers, so that they do not dare to attack rashly. Wait a minute.

There were even accidental injuries. It's hard to say.

More than 100 cannons down every day. It's normal that these artillery can't withstand it, and in the face of artillery that the Northern Army doesn't want money. Can the Southern Army not fight back?

Don't talk about anything else, just talk about one thing, the opponent's artillery is bombarding indiscriminately, and their own side is not firing, how can this morale be maintained after a long time. Or it is impossible to sustain at all. The soldiers below were afraid.

So even if there is no result, it must be fired.

Therefore, the battle of Guangwu Mountain, without the consciousness of both sides, evolved into a war dominated by artillery. The reason is also very simple, the place where the two sides are fighting, fragmented, whether it is on the sandbank, or on the tidal flats by the river, it is not very suitable for a large army to fight. Not to mention, within the range of the opponent's artillery, they assembled and went to war.

So artillery became the main choice for both sides.

In addition to artillery, there were night battles.

Night battles are regularized.

only

It was because the two sides could not withstand the bombardment of artillery fire during the day and did not dare to fight. At night, the artillery of both sides could not be distinguished. Even the firecrackers didn't dare to mess around. It's in hand-to-hand combat.

I have to admit that no matter what time it is, hand-to-hand combat and hand-to-hand combat are the final solution.

It's just that at this point, the southern army is not under the northern army at all, you Yanyun men are powerful, but this world is still fought by my Jianghuai heroes. Fight face-to-face, no one is afraid of whom.

It can only be consumption.

It consumes human lives, it consumes gunpowder, it consumes everything.

Now, Sheng Yong can't go on.

At this time, a letter arrived in Sheng Yong's hands.

After Sheng Yong saw it, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. His hands were shaking.

Because, Fu Youde has already arrived in the area south of Guangwu Mountain.

Where exactly is not said. But this was enough to make Sheng Yong's heart frightened.

Sheng Yong has his own intelligence officers. At least he didn't know that Fu Youde's department had been transferred here from Shandong. Then, there is a high probability that the other side will not know. What Fu Youde wants to do is very clear.

And Fu Youde's request to him is also very simple. At the right time, abandon Guangwu Mountain. Retreat to the west.

The eight passes of Luoyang refer to the eight checkpoints and directions of the Luoyang Basin to the outside world.

If Ye Shen wants to attack Luoyang, he must break through one of them.

What Fu Youde wants is that after Ye Shen's army arrives on the south bank, what will he do in the face of the temptation from the southeast? It was a huge gap with few defenders. Ye Shen can drive straight in, attack directly to the Henan mansion, and even fight all the way to the edge of the Huai River.

If Ye Shen went south, he would face Fu Youde's ambush.

At that time, Sheng Yong would attack from the Luoyang defense line, attack Guangwu Mountain, and cut off Ye Shen in the area south of the Yellow River.

If Sheng Yong followed the original plan, gave up the southeast direction, and continued to attack Luoyang according to the original plan, he would leave his back to Fu Youde, and Fu Youde would attack Guangwu Mountain by himself and cut off Ye Shen's back road, and Ye Shen would not be able to return to the north bank.

The reason why Sheng Yong was frightened was, on the one hand, Fu Youde's ability. Unconsciously, the ability to dispatch hundreds of thousands of troops in place is against the sky, and everyone who knows knows it.

Sheng Yong can't do it anyway.

On the other hand, Sheng Yong also felt that this battle seemed to be good. But the problem is very big, he feels that Fu Youde has underestimated Ye Shen a little. He had fought with Ye Shen for so many days, and he would never feel that Ye Shen was an incompetent person.

This set, Ye Shen may not be able to drill it. And if you drill, you may not be able to win.

Sheng Yong thought about it, and he secretly said in his heart: "The key to this is still in Guangwu Mountain. As long as Guangwu Mountain can return to his hands smoothly. This battle is not unfought. But is Guangwu Mountain so easy to take?"

Guangwu Mountain is not high, and the land is not big. It doesn't seem like a dangerous pass, but after fighting here for so long, times have changed at that time, and there are enough firearms in existence, and anywhere can be an iron wall.

And does Beijing have firearms?

Needless to say, it's very difficult to retake this place, it's almost impossible to do.

But Sheng Yong immediately smiled, he also knew that this was actually the limit of what Fu Youde could do. Maybe Fu Youde didn't think about taking Guangwu Mountain, what he wanted was to cut off the other party's back road, not to take here, there is still a difference between the two.

However, Sheng Yong's heart moved, and he secretly said, "It's not that there is no chance."

Then he began to count the gunpowder in his hand, preparing to bury the means in the Guangwu Mountain, and when the time came, he would give the Northern Army a ruthless blow, and the Northern Army probably couldn't have thought that there was a bomb here, and the Guangwu Mountain they worked so hard to capture was a Jedi who wanted their lives.

It's just that this one thing is not easy to do. First of all, there must be enough gunpowder, and this thing is not too difficult to do. Although the supplies of the Yugoslav army were insufficient, they were not yet in short supply to this extent. The second is how to keep the other party from finding out.

After all, I want to bury gunpowder

It's not an easy thing to do, not to mention, after letting the other party attack Guangwu Mountain, there will be no doubt that they have done anything wrong, this is also a problem, and there are other confidentiality issues and so on.

It's all a problem. But in Sheng Yong's view, these problems are all problems of details, and they are not unsolvable.
