Chapter 417: Sortie
Baoxing, Xiangshuigou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The 7,500 people of the two field battalions of the Taiping Army's Panshi Battalion and the Tiger Battalion have all entered the first-level combat alert, and as long as they give an order, they can be put into battle at any time, and all of this is naturally due to the internal strife between the Shuntian Army and the Chu Army in Baoqing County. I have to say that this time Mo Luo's entire battle plan was kept secret, although the two sides were not too far apart, and the Taiping army also had nails buried in the Shuntian army, but these spies with low status did not touch the slightest trace of this battle. It wasn't until the Suncheon army began to mobilize and gather that they suddenly realized.
"General Zhang, what should we do next?" Chen Jialuo stared at the sand table, which was the topography map of Baoqing, and the comparison of forces and defensive posture of the two sides was clear at a glance.
Judging from the comparison of troops, the two sides are extremely different, but from the perspective of the combat effectiveness of the two sides, it is just the opposite. Whether it is a kitten or Chen Jialuo, they have all fought with the Shuntian Army, and they are sneering about the combat ability of the Shuntian Army.
"Cheng Wu went to Taiping City, it seems that the news has leaked, Mo Luo panicked, and he was about to jump off the wall in a hurry." The kitten said lightly: "Now Mo Luo lives completely on the Chu people, once the Chu people abandon them, they won't be able to live, didn't the previous intelligence mention that the food supply to the Shuntian Army, hasn't the Chu people weakened to one supply a day?" Moro smelled it, and then he took a risk. ”
"This is an opportunity for us!" Chen Jialuo's eyes sparkled.
"Let's let them fight first!" The kitten smiled, "With the combat effectiveness and battle deployment of the Chu people, the Shuntian army will inevitably hit the iron plate headlong, not to mention Baoqing Port, I am afraid that they will not even be able to attack the gourd mouth." ”
Looking at the sand table, Chen Jialuo also felt the same way.
"You're right, with the scum-like combat effectiveness of the Shuntian Army, even if you use the strength to eat milk, I'm afraid you can't help the Chu people, let them eat the dog first, a mouthful of hair, and fight to exhaustion. By the time General Qin and that Cheng Wuting reached an agreement, Mo Luo was already vulnerable, and the Chu people were also dying, so we would have a big advantage. ”
Rolling his eyes, the kitten said impatiently: "You are so sure that we will definitely reach an agreement with the Chu people?" Maybe the talk will fall apart? ”
Chen Jialuo smiled and shook his head: "General Zhang, when we besieged Baoqing and didn't fight, in fact, General Qin's mind was already very clear, the Chu people were bargaining chips, how could they be gone?" With them gone, we've lost one of the most important things we traded with the Qi people. ”
Although he knew that Chen Jialuo was right, the kitten was still very unhappy in his heart. For him, it's good that the Chu army is dead.
Whether it is Chen Jialuo or Zhang Xiaomao, when the conflict between the Shuntian army and the Chu army broke out, both of them were unanimously optimistic that the Chu people would win the final victory, and the Taiping army in Xiangshuigou was ready for battle, just to guard against the Shuntian army after being defeated by the Chu people, they would flee here.
None of them thought that the Chu army would have the possibility of defeat. It is Zhang Xiaomei's person who hates the Chu army so much, and he has never thought about this kind of problem, he hates the Chu Dynasty and the Chu army, but because of his hatred, he understands this army better, not to mention, he was also a member of this system.
It wasn't until midnight, when a second piece of information arrived, waking the sleeping two from their dreams, that they felt that something had happened that had come unexpectedly.
This time, the Shuntian army showed their unimagined tenacious combat effectiveness, from day to night, the Shuntian army, which launched a fierce attack regardless of casualties, actually forced the Chu people to continuously send reinforcements to Hulukou, and at this time, Moluo's 20,000 trained troops had not really launched an attack.
"It seems that the possibility of Moro's victory has to be considered." Chen Jialuo tugged at his short beard, Mo Luo's victory was not what they wanted.
"The terrain of Hulukou is special, and it is impossible to invest too many troops at one time, no matter how many people there are in Moluo, they can only be a group of people, it is estimated that he still adopts the old routine, the tactics of crowds, using human lives to consume the Chu army, and the Chu army is probably the most afraid of consumption, after all, there are not many people in Baoqing." The kitten said thoughtfully: "But I'm still optimistic that the Chu people can hold the mouth of the gourd, and the Shuntian army can't beat it." ”
"Kitten, I think we're going to make a plan, if Moro breaks through the gourd, do we have to take action?" Chen Jialuo looked at the kitten and said.
"Is this necessary?" The kitten sneered: "First, I think Mo Luo will definitely not be able to fight, and second, even if the Chu army fails, it will not be harmful to us." ”
"General Zhang!" Chen Jialuo looked at the kitten steadily: "You can't say that, General Qin's meaning must be understood, the Chu army is an indispensable part of our next big plan, once there is no existence of this Chu army, there is no Baoqing, our weight in the minds of Qi people will inevitably be greatly reduced, which will affect our big plan." ”
After a pause, he accentuated his tone: "General Zhang, I know some of your past, but personal hatred must not override the interests of the whole. ”
The kitten kept a calm face and didn't say a word.
Chen Jialuo walked to the sand table and stared at the sand table: "General Zhang, if Mo Luo really wins, he will get a lot of food and supplies from Baoqing Port, which will greatly increase his strength, if he watches him destroy the Chu people, then what will he do next?" Continue to cower in Baoqing? Is this possible? The people of Baoqing Port Chu do have a lot of food, but no matter how much they have, they are limited, and there will be no more after eating, Mo Luo can't see this? He will definitely take advantage of the momentum of defeating the Chu people and turn his head to attack us. Now if we don't save the Chu people, the next thing is that we will be unlucky. In the face of the onslaught of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Shuntian troops, even if we hold the defensive line, how big will the losses be? Is it worth it? You also saw the information that was just sent, and the Suncheon Army went berserk. At the moment of life and death, at the moment of destruction, it is an individual who will die and struggle. ”
Taking a deep breath, the kitten stood up and walked to the sand table, "Let's make a plan!" ”
Chen Jialuo nodded, "General Zhang, if you are not in a good state, I ask to take over the command, let me do this matter!" ”
The kitten shook his head, "I can do this well, General Chen, you are right, I should not rub my personal feelings into official affairs, even if I am unhappy in my heart, I will try to do this thing well, I will do this plan, on top of the experience of fighting, I am richer than you, this plan, it is based on the loss of Hulukou, once the Chu people can't hold Hulukou, we will immediately send troops." ”
"Okay, you come to make this plan, I'll call the officers for pre-war mobilization, and now we have to upgrade the state from a first-level alert to a wartime state." Chen Jialuo turned around and walked out the door.
Chen Jialuo walked to the door, stretched out his hand to open the door, and at this moment, the voice of a kitten sounded behind him.
"Brother Chen, thank you."
Chen Jialuo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, waved his hand behind him, and strode out of the door.
The station of the Taiping Army in Xiangshuigou has sounded the sound of a loud military horn, and the previous first-level alert is still divided into two parts, one on duty and one on rotation, and with the sound of the military horn, the troops on rotation also began to silently wear clothes and armor and pack up their clothes.
The war is about to begin, and all experienced veterans know the meaning of this sound of the trumpet. Polishing the sword and gun, putting on the armor, and with an order, you can go to the battlefield.
In the early hours of the morning, with the sound of horses' hooves, another scout horse drove from the direction of Baoqing, and behind him, there was another person holding his waist tightly, and the two of them rushed into the Taiping army camp.
"The gourd mouth is lost."
Although this was the worst kind of prediction, he didn't expect it to come true.
"How did Morrow do it?" Looking at the spies who had been lurking in the Shuntian army, the kitten was really a little surprised, thousands of Chu troops were guarding the position of the terrain like Hulukou, how did the Shuntian army get in?
"The Shuntian army did not attack it, but the Chu army retreated by itself." The spy shook his head and said: "The army led by Wu Ling has not broken up, they have been hiding in the deep mountains, I don't know what method Mo Luo used, persuaded Wu Ling, when the Chu army was in Hulukou and Mo Luo fired, they crossed the mountains and mountains, and sneaked into Baoqing Port from the other side, the defense in Baoqing Port was empty, and the Chu army had no choice but to retreat, and now they are retreating to Baoqing Port, but they can only control the core area around the wharf now, and the rest of the places have fallen into the hands of the Shuntian army. ”
Wu Ling? Hearing this name, Chen Jialuo and the kitten both gasped, when the Shuntian Army was in flames, Wu Ling was a general who went hand in hand with Wu Shixiong and Lu Yifan, leading more than 10,000 soldiers on the right wing to attack Mo Luo, and when the Taiping Army joined the war group, Wu Ling was leading his troops to fight with Mo Luo. Later, when the Taiping army occupied Changyang County, Wuling was also nowhere to be found.
Cold and snowy, with no food and no supplies, such a force had been without a trace for a long time, and when everyone thought that they had broken up and would never pose a threat again, they appeared at the most critical time.
"How many people are there in Wuling?" The kitten asked.
"I don't know, Wuling entered Baoqing Port at the earliest, in the area inside, we went later, captured the other side, and then I found a gap and slipped back, and the rest is not clear."
"How many more people are there in Morrow?"
"His 20,000 elites basically have no losses."
"What about the Chu people, how many more?"
"I don't know, but at least they still have about three thousand." The spy said.
The kitten and Chen Jialuo glanced at each other, seeing that things were worse than imagined, and there could be no hesitation, the kitten stood up and said to the generals who had already prepared in the house: "Attack!" (To be continued.) )
