Chapter 564: The Lost Dog (Part I)

"With Zhao Ming's offensive, and looking at his previous records, although there are not many, there are few defeats.

It shows that this person is extremely good at fighting, and it is possible that this person has not received formal military education, but there are still many such self-taught talents.

This person has 20,000 cavalry, and he is extremely mobile, and he can rely on Wucheng to establish a defensive line when he retreats, or he can turn to Suiyuan to seek to seize Suiyuan and other places.

On the one hand, you can threaten the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region according to Xuanhua, and on the other hand, you can rely on Datong to threaten the entire Jindi.

The former is easy for us to say, but once Datong is taken, we will become extremely passive in the face of Zhao Ming.

Not only that, this son wants to come to the Guofu side, and it is impossible for him to take Jindi with this amount of troops.

But at the critical moment, I will wait for the enemy to suffer from the back, I'm afraid it's not good! ”

As soon as Adjutant Yang said this, there was a creep behind the people who said it.

If this really happened, it would not be too much for him Zhang Li to be shot a hundred times.

Lao Yan also realized the seriousness of the matter, and after careful consideration for a moment, his eyes were fixed on the huge map on the table.

"Which unit is closest to Datong? If you gather men in Datong in a short time, how many troops can be gathered for defense? ”

In his heart, Lao Yan didn't want to send too many more people in Datong.

After all, the south is still in a critical period, and the withdrawal of any main force will have an impact on the frontline war.

"Sir, there are not many troops on the Datong side, and our army has been transferred many times, and recently an infantry regiment has been transferred.

Therefore, at present, the total strength of Datong is only an infantry regiment, plus the strength of a security regiment.

But Datong is closer to me after all.

In other places, there may be a shortage of troops, but our army in Jindi has always retained a very large number of troops to deploy.

Among them, there are five local security brigades and 10 security regiments under their jurisdiction.

In the vicinity of Datong alone, there is a security brigade that is sufficient to provide support.

Call now and you can arrive in Datong within three days.

Zhao Ming's department is in Wucheng, which is more than 100 kilometers away from Datong.

If you want to add the time to hurry, it is almost impossible to take Datong in three days. ”

Adjutant Yang made a reasonable analysis, after all, Datong was also a military important place in ancient times, and now although the geographical advantage is not so obvious, it is still not to be underestimated, and its defensive strength is by no means inferior to Wucheng.

The point is that there was not much defense before, and now you only need to call Datong to strengthen your defense, and it is not a problem to block it for a few days.

"Hmmm! Let's do this first, let the security brigade come to support, and at the same time send another security brigade to support, and be sure to increase the strength of Datong to more than 10,000 within ten days.

I didn't want the incident in Wucheng to happen again, so I called Suiyuan and warned them to raise a local security regiment as soon as possible, and the security brigade to strengthen their defense.

At the same time, the fortifications were refined, even if Zhao Ming's troops were transferred to Suiyuan, Lao Tzu would want him to burst out a mouthful of blood.

When we can draw up manpower from here, we will destroy this thief!"

Lao Yan hated Zhao Ming to the core.

If you make a ranking in Lao Yan's heart, the national government is still first, Zhang Li is second, and he Zhao Ming can definitely rank third.

He hates waste and traitors the most, one Zhang Li, one Zhao Ming, both waste and traitor, he hates both waste and traitor very much.

Do business is do business, what do you mean by flipping the table?

For the guy who doesn't talk about trust, Lao Yan himself is in business, and it's hell if he can have a good face.

At the same time, in the barren wilderness, a team was walking weakly.

As far as the eye can see, there is a scene of desolation everywhere, but some people can be seen looming in the fields.

It's just that there is no food left in the field, so what you see is either the bark of the tree or the root of the grass, and there is not much left of the wild vegetables.

Even many of the canals are in a state of drought, making it difficult to drink water.

The drought in Shaanxi is not only covered in Shaanxi, but has begun to show signs of spreading, and although other places have not yet reached the point of eating from easy children, the situation is not optimistic.

This is mainly due to the continuous taxation and successive exploitation, which can only live a tight life, which is even worse.

"Is there still water? Give me saliva, I'm dying of thirst. Zhang Li's lips were chapped, and he sat on horseback, feeling weak.

"Sir, where is there any water here, didn't you drink some dew just in the morning?"

Adjutant Ren looked helpless, he was also tired, thirsty and hungry, it can be said that his energy was exhausted to the extreme, and the tone of his speech was not much better.

Hearing this, Zhang Li didn't mind, he didn't have the energy to mind.

In his mind, he can still recall the overwhelming shouts and guns last night, and that night was simply his nightmare.

Nearly 10,000 troops, sitting in such a strong city as Wucheng, failed to hold out even a day in the real battle.

First, there was news of ineffective combat on all sides, and then he also made a plan, not only allowing Li Jun to respond at any time, but also pulling out the only remaining guard battalion for defense.

But as a result, the enemy's firepower was too heavy, and not many military forts were built before the incident.

The firepower directly pressed the defenders to raise their heads, and the enemy troops were able to attack quickly from all places and engage in white-knuckle battles close to each other.

And this group of enemies seems to be very proficient in white-knuckle combat, and the one-handed sword technique is much better than that of their own soldiers.

After the fight, all the sections behind were broken, and he had no choice but to retreat to the street, wanting to play street fighting with the other party.

As a result, it made good progress in the early days, and the other party was damaged one after another.

However, after determining the ambush location of the defenders, the other side began to focus on artillery bombardment.

With the fierce artillery bombardment to open the way, coupled with the frantic suppression of heavy firepower, the city could not hold on.

In fact, Zhang Li's command itself is a bit of a problem.

Normally, rehearsals will be made at the beginning of the war, such as an orderly retreat and roadway fortification.

But Zhang Li's high-level leaders thought too much, and tried their best to block the enemy in the city wall defense line during the day.

In the evening, when the fighting was not good, he ordered a quick retreat, during which there was no transition and no rehearsal.

The ambush point after the retreat was also improvised, and the choice of defense line for the roadway ambush point was very arbitrary, and no advance planning was made.

To put it simply, I tried to hold on to everything, but I didn't hold on to anything.

This is also the reason why Zhang Li's department itself is good at cavalry mobile warfare, and there are very few street battles in the city and city defense battles.

If the infantry regiment were the main unit in command, there would never be such a sloppy command.

In addition, last night's defeat was too full, and the sky was pitch black, and when it hit the back, the news of the command could no longer be accurately transmitted to the ears of every unit.

was already on the verge of fighting on its own, and seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhang Li had no choice but to gather a part of the rout army under the advice of a group of staff officers and quickly broke out of the encirclement.

So much so that now, like a lost dog, pitiful.
