Eighty, the sword pointed at Dhaka
If the king of Xianning County saw these people, he would definitely be even more disdainful of Xue Pan, a group of people sat on the lawn in twos and threes, reading books, pretending to sleep, Li Shaopu also took out a Yaoqin, pretending to stroke the qin, sometimes tinkling, but it became a good background music, Xue Pan lay on the mat, put his hands on the back of his head and bask in the sun leisurely, Tianzhu weather, most areas in May are already extremely hot, but in this mountainous and hilly land, there are trees and forests, It was very cool, a few people were flying the meat skewers in their hands, the charcoal fire on the ground was red, and after a while, the fragrance came out, and the fat fragrance overflowed, which was really appetizing, Xue Pan lay leisurely, and the rest of the people smiled, "This meat is grilled well, if Commissioner Li doesn't come again, I'm afraid I will miss such a good thing." ”
There are also people standing guard the observation post, although the students of Xian'an Palace said that it is not possible to fight against the enemy, but these necessary military qualities, at the request of Xue Pan, Jin Ning and everyone have studied, so everyone will have their turn to patrol and stand guard, and the students standing guard today saw a man in plain clothes walking up to his post at the bottom of the hillside, so he turned his head and smiled, "Commissioner Li has arrived." ”
Li Man walked here, and saw a few classmates who led troops to patrol the border, and the rest of the people were here, oh, by the way, there was also the unlucky Lu Lianshan Life Committee, I don't know where to go to prepare what materials at this time, Xue Pan's requirements are extremely high, and he has to make sudden requests from time to time, and they must be completed quickly in a very short time, these days, Lu Lianshan is busy under the command of Xue Pan.
He saw everyone sitting on the ground, with a calm demeanor, as if he was going out on a spring outing for vacation, he stomped his feet again and again, his face was angry, "The head of the class is not good!" Why are all the big guys so idle! ”
Xue Pan opened his eyes lazily and looked at the excited Li Man, "What's wrong?" Any bad news? I remember that we were close to the left, but there were no British, and there were no native soldiers, so what could it matter? ”
"The army led by Ban A has already begun to attack Dhaka!"
As soon as these words came out, the casual look on everyone's faces suddenly disappeared, and Jin Ning stood up, "Is this true?" ”
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh Province, and the status of Jinling Province in Jinling Province is the same, and this big city is the most prosperous city in eastern India, plus adjacent to the mouth of the Ganges River, it happens to be the turnover center of the port into the Indian mainland......
"Why are Class A people so powerful?" Cao Cheng muttered, "The news came a few days ago, or did it say that the army of Class A had just left the mouth of the Ganges River, preparing to conquer the small cities near the left, and only a few days later, they were besieging Dhaka?" ”
"The soldier is fast," Jin Ning looked eager to try, and with a very frustrated expression, "We are too far behind!" "The head of the class," he arched his hand towards Xue Pan, "Without further ado, how about we also go south from the northwest now?" If you make it, you can also participate in the siege of Dhaka! ”
"Siege of Dhaka?" Xue Pan was also taken aback at first, but then settled down, and heard Jin Ning's request to fight, "What are you doing besieging Dhaka?" Want to capture Dhaka? Or are we thinking about occupying Bangladesh? ”
Jin Ning was speechless, yes, could it be that the topic of these two classes is to conquer Bangladesh Province, "Or do we want to occupy India?" Member Li Man, do you mean that? ”
"Naturally not, our goal is to arrest Madrid Sihan," Li Man said with a solemn face, "If we don't catch Madrid Sihan, I'm afraid that we will attack the entire Tianzhu or lose, but the head of the squad," he is a member of the staff committee, and when Xue Pan was appointed, he wanted him to make suggestions and counselors to come to Tianzhu, Li Man knew that he was a resourceful person who was the head of the team, and he didn't need any staff officers at all, but he was in his position to seek his own government, and at this time he inevitably had to put forward his own opinions for everyone's reference," The king of Xianning County and others are menacing, several battles are one down, this battle is clean and neat, it can be seen that he is indeed old in military affairs, if their people in Class A really occupy Dhaka, here is the traffic artery of East Tianzhu, India will inevitably shake, according to the information we have gotten, the British soldiers in Tianzhu are only about 10,000 people, if they are stationed in various places, there are not so many people who can come to restrict the actions of Class A, and the people of Class A are very likely to win in Bangladesh, Other words. ”
"Dhaka could be occupied, right?" Xue Pan continued, Li Man nodded, "This matter has to be guarded against, squad leader, if the king of Xianning County is really so powerful, I am afraid that the British governor will give in, and when the time comes, this credit, but the first class will take it, Brother Jin's words make sense, no matter what, we will go up first, and when the time comes, we will wait for the opportunity to move, and I can't say that we can get a piece of the pie." ”
"Commissioner Cao, how many years is Dhaka's history? Do you have any relevant information? Xue Pan didn't answer Li Man's suggestion, Li Man's meaning was also safe, go around first and then talk about it, I can't say that I can share a little credit when the time comes, but Xue Pan is not so optimistic, he asked Cao Cheng instead.
Cao Cheng nodded, "I checked the classics and documents in the capital and Shu before, and then got a lot of news from Commissar Li, Dhaka is one of the best cities in India, although it is not as majestic and towering as the new construction of New Delhi, but the bricks used are all made of fine sand precipitation in the Ganges River and condensed and fired, very hard and firm, comparable to rocks, the population is about 100,000, producing tea and rice, this city is in the center of the Ganges Plain, and the left near the Ganges River water is used as a moat, the city is not too high, but because it is in the plain area, Many outposts have been set up around it, and if there is an enemy attack, it will be known in a moment that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
"How many centaurs are there right now? Except for the British? ”
Cao Cheng flipped through the booklet in his hand, "The British army is one hundred, and the native soldiers are two." ”
"Such a number of people," Xue Pan touched his chin and asked Jin Ning, "Can you hold Dhaka?" ”
"If the morale of the two sides is equal, it depends on the weapons and equipment," Jin Ning said frankly, "If Dhaka has the firepower stronger than the 100,000 muskets of Jiaban, Xianning will not be able to attack Daka." ”
