Chapter 760: Encirclement and Reinforcements
Qin Ning generally had no opinions on the detailed battle plan made by the generals on the Eastern Front, but Qin Ning made small corrections in some minor details.
The battle plan drawn up by the generals of the Eastern Front of the Qin Army was completely based on a military perspective. Considering the troops, equipment, and the specific environment in which the two sides are fighting, there is no problem at all with where to start and where to focus.
However, Qin Ning, as the leader of the military and government, should consider the problem from a higher perspective.
The Eastern Prince did not disregard a qiē in order to save himself like the Northern Prince, and in the jurisdiction of the Eastern Prince, the losses of the common people were not very large.
If the conventional attack methods of the generals of the Eastern Front were followed, it would cause great damage to the people's livelihood buildings and the lives of the common people in the jurisdiction of the Eastern Prince.
Therefore, the entire battle plan can be implemented, but the necessary auxiliary means must be increased.
The plan mentions that due to the fall of the East Tilting City, the Eastern Prince's Northern Front Group Army has been merged and moved closer to the Eastern Prince's Central Group Army, and the merged Eastern Prince's Central Group Army, although 500,000 troops were dispatched to the north, it was still a huge group army of more than 700,000, and it was unrealistic to eat it in one bite.
Therefore, the battle plan targeted the 300,000 group army on the southern front of the Eastern Prince, and used the strength to contain the central group army of the Eastern prince and eliminate the southern group army of the eastern prince.
Qin Ning believed that it was necessary for the Qin army to launch a huge psychological offensive while implementing military means. The Wuzhongtong Army on the southern front is a good place to make a big fuss.
Wu Chongtong himself was a descendant of the royal family of the Blue Star Empire, and even such people joined the Qin army. Received a very high standard of treatment, for the rest of the people. The surrender of the Qin army was a hopeful path.
Qin Ning agreed with the plan of the battle plan to go south and then the middle, but he had to fight a beautiful battle first.
The protagonist of the heart attack is played by Wu Chongtong this time. Let Wu Chongtong show up to say that it is more convincing, affinity, and convincing than Qin Jun's painstaking preaching and agitation.
According to the new battle plan, the generals of the Eastern Front fine-tuned the entire battle plan. It was still from the east to mobilize 300,000 Qin troops, from the north of the Eastern Prince's Central Army to the south, to put pressure on the northern front of the Eastern Prince's Central Army, and then the Qin army used 200,000 Qin troops to feint on the front of the Eastern Prince's Central Army.
This will force the Eastern Emperor to not dare to arbitrarily transfer the forces of the Central Army, while the Qin Army will focus its main target on the Eastern Prince's Southern Front Army. The Qin army directly penetrated between the Central Army of the Eastern Emperor and the Southern Front Army, and captured the strategic goal of dividing and encircling the Southern Front Army.
At that time, Wu Chongtong will come forward. Take Army Group of the Southern Front at the lowest cost.
The battle plan was quickly finalized, and the Qin army implemented it on all fronts in accordance with the revised battle plan.
After the Qin Army's Middle Route Group Army dispatched 300,000 Qin troops to the East Tilting City for a short replenishment and recuperation, it immediately approached the position of 30 miles north of the Eastern Emperor's Central Army to assemble and deploy its troops, and the heavy artillery battalion advanced to a position less than 15 miles away from the front of the Eastern Emperor's Central Army to set up an artillery position.
When the Eastern Prince received the news, he immediately panicked. When sending reinforcements, the Eastern Emperor was most worried that the Qin army on the Eastern Front would take action against him, but he didn't expect that the troops sent to the Northern Front for reinforcements would be ambushed and attacked. The Qin army would form an attack on their own defense line so quickly.
If you have the heart to fight, the number of Qin troops on the northern front is 300,000, and according to the normal combat effectiveness of the army, the Eastern Prince must send at least 400,000 troops to dare to fight the Qin army. This was still based on the premise that the Qin army took the initiative to attack and its own troops relied on fortifications to fight.
Without much hesitation, the Eastern Prince immediately ordered the army on the northern front to retreat twenty miles. Echoing the large forces of the Central Army, the defensive strongholds on the periphery were all abandoned. Turtles huddled in permanently fortified fortifications and waited for the Qin army to attack. If you Qin Jun really have the ability, come to these places to fight me.
This situation can make Qin Jun cry and laugh. Before you can feign an attack, people will not play with you directly, originally wanted to attack and contain your troops, but now you can hide directly in the fortifications, putting on a strict defense.
Qin Ning never thought that the Eastern Prince would actually reach the point where the wind was loud and the grass and trees were all soldiers, even if he felt that he was invincible, he should symbolically resist and then retreat.
In fact, you can't lose much strength in this way, at least you can show the will and determination of the commander in front of the soldiers, what will the soldiers think if they withdraw like this?
The commanders are afraid, what face do you have to ask the people below not to be afraid?
However, this did not prevent the advance plan of the Qin army in the middle, and the Qin army adopted the strategy of rapid marching in the middle and appeared in the forward position on the frontal battlefield of the Eastern Prince like lightning.
In view of the situation on the northern front, the Qin army on the middle route went to the frontal front and immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the forward positions of the Eastern Prince. Before the ground forces of the Qin army could follow up, the forward troops of the Eastern Prince received an order from Shangfeng and all withdrew into the neighboring cities.
In order to contain the Central Army of the Eastern Prince, it is necessary to make the Eastern Prince's precarious feeling.
In the vicinity of the three prominent cities controlled by the Central Army of the Eastern Emperor in the frontal battlefield, the Qin army put on a momentum of taking it in one fell swoop, and constantly bombarded the urban defense buildings of these three prominent cities with heavy firepower, and the momentum seemed to mean that the Qin army wanted to take it in one fell swoop. In fact, the officers and men at the front were given orders to fight but not attack.
The Eastern Prince's abandonment of the forward stronghold did not make the Qin army relent, but directly attacked the city. The wishful thinking of the Eastern Prince was to retreat and gather his troops, so that the Qin army would not be able to start, and wait for the opportunity to withdraw the reinforcements of the army, so that he could keep his own territory.
However, the Qin army did not follow the abacus of the Eastern Prince, and fiercely attacked the prominent part of the Eastern Prince's defensive line, and the Eastern Prince's was finally forced to the edge of not being able to retreat, and hurriedly transferred 300,000 troops from the Central Army to help defend the three cities that were under attack.
And Qin Ning had already led an army of 150,000 at this moment, and rushed to Kasai City in the starry night.
Kasai City is a military fortress connecting the Central Army and the Southern Army in the territory of the Eastern Prince, and if you take this city, you can directly cut off the connection between the Eastern Prince's Central Army and the Southern Front Army, and create conditions for the annihilation of the Southern Front Army.
No matter how mentally retarded the Eastern Prince is, he also knows the importance of this position, the garrison of Kasai City has reached 200,000, and the Eastern Prince has allocated 100,000 troops to garrison in the north of Kasai City eighty miles away from Kasai City under the premise of relatively insufficient troops, so that Kasai City can be attacked at any time.
In response to this situation, Qin Ning decided to adopt the tactic of encircling the point to send reinforcements, first eating the troops eighty miles away from Kasai City, and then taking Kasai City.
Qin Ning divided his troops into two parts, besieging Kasai City with 100,000 Qin troops, and the other 50,000 Qin troops were waiting for reinforcements from Kasai City in the north.
100,000 Qin troops set up heavy artillery battalions around Kasai City, and each heavy artillery battalion was equipped with two super cannons to carry out non-stop artillery fire on Kasai City.
The defenders of Kasai City were beaten by the artillery fire of the Qin army, crying for their father and mother, and the defenders of Kasai City prepared to go out of the city to counterattack the Qin army with chariots supplemented by ground troops, but in the face of the Qin army's improved sniper shells, the chariots were completely lost.
When the ground troops saw that the chariots were all hung up, where did they still have the heart to attack the heavy artillery battalion?
Seeing that it was fruitless to crack the heavy artillery of the Qin army, the defender of Kasai City sent a message for help to the brother troops eighty miles away.
The 100,000 troops outside the city of Kasai are the reinforcements equipped for the city of Kasai. Although the generals of the 100,000 army were very reluctant, they had to send reinforcements.
On the way, these 100,000 reinforcements ran into the 50,000 Qin troops personally led by Qin Ning. The 50,000 Qin troops didn't use ambushes or anything like that, they just waited halfway, and in the face of an enemy twice as big as themselves, Qin Ning rushed over.
The soldiers of the Qin army strictly carried out Qin Ning's orders and did not use powerful firepower ordnance at long distances, so that the other party would take it lightly and think that they had the advantage of numbers and fought a ground encounter with the Qin army.
But when the two armies collided fiercely, the powerful ordnance of the Qin army's soldiers, such as the rainstorm pear flower bomb, showed a hideous face, and in just one round of strafing, 10,000 troops of the 100,000 troops arranged by the Eastern Prince fell under the strafing of the rainstorm pear flower bomb.
Seeing the tragic death of his comrades-in-arms, the army of the Eastern Prince habitually collapsed, turned around and fled. 50,000 Qin soldiers chased and killed for 20 miles, and killed 50,000 before they gathered their troops.
When Qin Ning came to Kasai City, the defense of Kasai City was already full of holes. Qin Ning flew into the air of Kasai City and shouted loudly to all the soldiers and civilians of Kasai City.
"The prince of the north acted perversely, and the prince of the east helped to abuse him, and committed the sin of anger and resentment, and his crime should be punished. But what does the crime of these two men have to do with the people? Soldiers and civilians of Kasai City, you must be soberly aware that you have been tied to the chariot of sin. If you surrender, you have a way to live, and if you resist, Kasai City will not escape the fate of powder. ”
After saying that, Qin Ning ordered the Qin army outside Kasai City to stop the shelling, leaving Kasai City half a day to think about it, once the time limit passed, the Qin army would launch a devastating attack.
The news that the reinforcements were defeated gave a huge blow to the defenders of Kasai City, and through Qin Ning's words and threats and instigation, the hearts of the soldiers and civilians of Kasai City fluctuated and mutiny was brewing.
In such a situation of internal and external difficulties, the defenders of Kasai decided to surrender.
The 150,000 Qin army immediately took over the city of Kasai, restored the normal life of the common people, and asked the army that surrendered to the city to immediately strengthen the city defense of the city. (To be continued......)
