Chapter 0606: A Knife in the Back [3]

Although Sima Zilong racked his brains, he couldn't think of a way to escape from the other party's encirclement. Just when he was frowning and miserable, a general named Gao Yuemeng said to him: "General Sima, the last general thinks that the other party has suddenly strengthened its defense here, and must have mobilized the troops from the north and south, in this case, their north and south sides will definitely become empty, and we might as well choose those two sides as a breakthrough." ”

Sima Zilong's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh with his hand, and shouted loudly: "Yes, yes, how could the old man not think of it!" If we turn around and attack any of them in the north and south, won't we be able to break through? Oh! No, no, you can't go to the south, so wouldn't it go deeper into the hinterland? Then let's break through from the north! Well! Without further ado, let's go! ”

When Sima Zilong gave the order, he was about to break through to the north, Gao Yuemeng waved his hand again and again and said, "Wait, general, I'm afraid this can't be done!" We must not look for a breakthrough from the north, we should fight to the east, and break out from the east! ”

Sima Zilong asked puzzledly: "Gao Che Qi, where did you start with this?" Why can't the old man understand? Can you tell the old man more thoroughly? ”

After Gao Yuemeng saw Sima Zilong with an impatient face, he patted his chest, and then said his opinion with great confidence: "General Sima, if we choose to break through to the north or south now, they will inevitably see our actions, and immediately move the heavy troops in the west and east in the north and south directions, and then we will still let them block this encirclement and be unable to extricate themselves." However, if we choose to kill to the east with lightning speed, we are walking a straight line, and the other side does not have many troops deployed in the north and south at present, and it is already very empty, and it is simply impossible to send more men and horses to help the east, so that the troops in the east must be relatively weak, and our million-strong army will be pressed with all its might, and the outstanding encirclement will inevitably be no problem. ”

After listening to Gao Yuemeng's suggestion, Sima Zilong felt that it made sense, so he immediately led the army to kill in the direction of the east without hesitation.

To the east were a corps under the command of the commander of the 4th Army, Jiang Wou-ki, and two other divisions of friendly forces. If you only rely on this little family background to prevent Sima Zilong's million-strong army, it will definitely be impossible to complete the defense task. Therefore, when setting up a point here, Ye Yunjing sent all the double-gun brigades and durian brigades guarding the old nest in Jiaozhou to Jiangzhou, as mobile troops, and they would be sent wherever they were needed.

The two-gun brigade now has a total of 2,500 gunners, which means that the entire brigade has 5,000 12-round shell guns. And each person is equipped with 240 rounds of ammunition, so 2,500 people have 600,000 rounds of ammunition, and if every 3 bullets destroy an enemy, the two-gun brigade alone can destroy the opponent's army of 200,000.

There is also the Naliudan Brigade, which can also be called the Hand Liudan Brigade, which is also 2,500 people, each equipped with 24*, and the entire brigade is 60,000, and if it is used properly, it is not a problem to cause 200,000 casualties on the enemy. With the attack power of the Twin Spear Brigade and the Liudan Brigade alone, it was enough to make nearly half of Sima Zilong's men and horses become wasted or dead.

For Dahuaguo, they also have an advantage that Sima Zilong is about to run out of food. If this war drags on for another 10 days and half a month, there will not be the slightest damage at all; But for the army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was quite a fatal thing.

The development of this war really went on according to the script predicted by the author. Arriving in the eastern region, in order to achieve the goal of a quick victory, Sima Zilong had just set up the camp, and ordered the hussar general Dafei to lead 200,000 horses to launch a fierce offensive towards the position in the eastern part of the Great Hua Kingdom.

And this time, Sima Zilong made another selective mistake. If he pressed all the million-strong army at once, it was estimated that Jiang Wuji's forces would most likely be unable to withstand the powerful offensive and scatter in all directions, which could also make Sima Zilong's army break through the encirclement and flee back to the realm of the Jin Dynasty.

But Sima Zilong was still big in the end, and he only let the hussar general Da Fei bring 200,000 horses to attack him, which made a big gap. For the enemy's 200,000 horses, the defenders of Dahua were much more at ease, and when the enemy rushed to a distance of about 60 zhang, 2,500 double-spear soldiers raised their double-spears in their hands one after another, and began to shoot wildly at the enemy soldiers who rushed up.

By the time each two-gun warrior had finished 4 shuttles and counted 48 bullets, the opponent's 200,000 horses had fallen by at least nearly one-quarter, that is, about 50,000 people. However, nearly 670,000 people on the other side still crossed the line of 60 zhang, and more than 40,000 people have even come to a distance of about 30 zhang, and this distance has just entered the best throwing point of the pitchers of the * brigade.

* The 2,500 men of the brigade were divided into 5 queues and had them rotate to drop bombs. This is due to the fact that throwing hand bullets is also a very laborious physical work, continuous throwing is quite tiring, especially in the arm strength requirements are very high, so if you are divided into 5 teams, so that everyone has enough time to rest, in order to better throw * to the accurate position.

Each throw caused about 2,3,000 enemies to fall, and finally 4 of the 5 teams of throwers threw 4*, which caused the cost of more than 40,000 dead and wounded soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, causing them to slow down their progress.

In addition, there is a more important point that at this time, the soldiers of the double-gun brigade did not stop shooting, and they were still in the middle of firing, and during this period of time, they killed and wounded more than 40,000 people on the other side. Wait until Nada Fei reacts, and is accompanied by his heart-rending shout, "Retreat!" At that time, there were less than 60,000 people left around him.

This blow was extremely heavy for Sima Zilong, but he had to rush through this line of defense now. Because he knows very well that there are two reasons why he has to make such a choice. The first is that it is impossible for them to support the food around them for much longer, and once the food is out of food at that time, his soldiers will definitely pick and choose, and if there is a mutiny, it will be completely over.
