Chapter 678: Shi Dakai's Aftermath
Gao Qi set his eyes on Guo Ye and waited for Guo Ye's order. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Guo Ye smiled faintly: "Okay, don't worry, let them waste some ammunition first, hehe, they can use one shell less now......"
Guo Ye is right, now that he has cut off the supply of arms to the Taiping Army, the remaining shells of the Taiping Army, all together, are only a few thousand, and one is less than one......
In two successive waves of artillery attacks, the Taiping army threw hundreds of shells on the positions of the Lu army, but at this time, the trench fortifications of the Lu army showed a strong protective force, and the entire Lu army only had a few small ones that were scratched by the flying rubble, and not a single one died!
On the opposite side, on the position of the Taiping Army, Shi Dakai was still holding a telescope and carefully observing the position on the opposite side, and his heart was amazed.
"Lord Wang, why is there no movement at all on the Qing Demon Position? I didn't even scream......"
Zhang Suimou asked in surprise.
Shi Dakai replied lightly: "Scream? We didn't cause them any casualties at all, so naturally there were no screams. The fortifications of the Qing Demon are really amazing, I have to say that this Guo Ye is a genius, and he can come up with such fortifications......"
"What kind of fortifications?"
Shi Dakai handed over the telescope and said: "Their soldiers are all concentrated in the wedge-like fortification, our shells hit it, it can't threaten people at all, the explosion and splashing of rubble are blocked by the other party's fortifications, and their tunnels, like a labyrinth, extend in all directions, all the soldiers can follow the tunnel, carry out arbitrary scheduling, as far as possible to reduce the casualties caused by shells and bullets, our hundreds of shells have all done useless work!" ”
Zhang Suimou watched with a telescope, and his heart was also amazed, he could think of such a method, he was really a geek!
Shi Dakai shouted: "Okay, all departments immediately prepare for battle, our shells are kept, don't waste them anymore, only when the other side charges, can we use artillery, otherwise, we won't be able to hold out for long......"
Zhang Suimou was stunned and said, "How long can you eat?" ”
Shi Dakai nodded, sighed, and said: "There is one thing I have never told you, the Americans have cut off our arms supply, and we can no longer buy ammunition......
Zhang Suimou and Long Kaisheng were shocked, at this critical juncture, the supply of arms was cut off, how could this work? You must know that the Taiping army is not facing the Hunan army or the Huai army, but the Lu army, which is all equipped with firearms, and there are no less than 100 cannons alone!
"The **** foreign devil actually stabbed us at this critical time!"
Long Kaisheng scolded and asked: "Lord Wang, let's increase the size, increase the size, can we double the price, as long as they can sell us arms, and wait until the Qing Demon is defeated, Lao Tzu will take people to end all their concessions to avenge today's revenge!" ”
Shi Dakai shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No! Because it was not the Americans who cut off our arms, but the person opposite, that Guo Ye ......"
Everyone was stunned, Guo Ye, he has a fart relationship with the Americans?
"The U.S. arms company that sold us arms is Guo Ye's, and that Hua Ruohan is his person, and now we are confronting Guo Ye, do you think he will sell us arms stupidly and fight against him again?"
Shi Dakai sighed.
Everyone was speechless, yes, at this time, if Guo Ye sold arms to the Taiping Army again, it would be an enemy, and a fool would do such a thing.
"Damn!"
Long Kaisheng scolded hatefully.
"Lord Wang, since this is the case, we can't sit still, we must take advantage of the fact that we still have firearms, take the initiative to attack, we have an absolute superiority of troops, and then under the cover of foreign guns and artillery, we will launch a siege directly towards the Qing Demon, and completely crush the Qing Demon with superior forces, this is our only chance!"
Zhang Suimou said in a deep voice.
Shi Dakai nodded and replied: "Yes, Suimou, what I said is good, yes, we haven't reached that point yet, we still have a chance, and we still have a chance to get arms, if we can get arms, why do we need our brothers' lives to fill it?" ”
Still a chance?
The two of them looked at Shi Dakai in surprise.
Shi Da laughed and said: "Yes, we still have a chance, our chance is on Huo Qingteng!" ”
"Huo Qingteng?"
Long Kaisheng looked puzzled.
Shi Da laughed and said, "What? You haven't wondered for so long, Huo Qingteng and the others haven't come back? ”
Long Kaisheng suddenly moved, yes, now Huainan is about to go to war, although Huo Qingteng does not have many troops, but most of the troops left behind are elite troops equipped with firearms, and a thousand people are also people, they didn't come back!
Shi Dakai replied lightly: "Wait, it won't take a few days, we will get the news, what we have to do now is to resist the offensive pressure brought to us by Guo Ye, you said, we now have seventy or eighty thousand troops here, and there are still twenty or thirty thousand troops in the surrounding state capitals, such a strong force is enough to support us to hold out for a while." ”
Long Kaisheng and Zhang Sui were both puzzled and puzzled.
Huo Qingteng, now that he has come to the junction of Anhui and Jiangsu, has more than 1,000 troops has been reorganized by him, ready to attack at any time.
Originally, Huo Qingteng ran to Anyang in one breath, just to go around in a circle and return to Huainan, but a military order made him change his mind, this military order was issued to him by Shi Dakai, and went straight to Mingguang, waiting for the change of the Qing Demon in Mingguang, this task is extremely arduous, Huo Qingteng's palms are constantly sweating, this is the order that Yiwang personally gave to himself, as long as he succeeds, it is enough for him to be promoted from general to general, no matter what, he must complete this task!
This mission is to sneak up on the Qing Demon's baggage team and snatch all their baggage!
In the distance, the fleet approached Mingguang's dock, and on top of the warships were rows of green battalion soldiers, protecting the equipment on them.
These equipment is from Liaocheng through Xuzhou, and then transported here, as early as two months ago, Guo Ye has made a deployment, he went back to Jinan that time is not really to go on vacation, to play with the two wives to make people, in Jinan, he and Guo Songtao, Ding Baozhen stayed for much longer than the two wives, is which meeting, determined the route of the baggage, as soon as the Lu army took Ruzhou, Jinan, the weapons and ammunition of the arsenal have begun to be transported, to now, nearly a month's time, 2,000 foreign guns, 20 artillery, 3,000 boxes of ammunition plus 6,000 shells, and countless grains and grass, all loaded, were transported all the way.
