Chapter 686: Surprise Attack Unpreparedness

Shi Dakai's idea is too naΓ―ve, the West Battalion, only the strength of a large battalion, is facing the Second Brigade of the Army, which has the strongest mobility ability! That Yan Chunyu's use of soldiers has always been like a raging storm, not only fast, but also swift, where is it so easy to deal with?

The current Western Battalion is still in a bitter battle!

Yan Chunyu did not attack step by step from the southeast of Henan, and gradually defeated the western battalion of the Taiping army, as soon as he entered Anhui, he set his sights on Anqing, an important town in western Anhui, Anqing, as the west gate of Anhui, and the gateway connecting the middle reaches of the Yangtze River with the lower reaches, once Anqing was captured, it would be equivalent to cutting off the connection between Anhui, Jiangsu and Hubei and Sichuan!

Yan Chunyu gave up the opportunity to attack Lu'an, gave up the opportunity to attack Hefei, and rushed straight towards Anqing, from the west side of Lu'an to Anqing, which was a distance of hundreds of miles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

I have to say that Yan Chunyu is too bad, almost everyone thinks that the first target of Yan Chunyu's attack is Lu'an, and even Zuo Guigui thinks like this, and Liao Chuhui, the general of the Taiping Army's West Battalion, thinks like this, in order to be able to hold Lu'an, Liao Chuhui has drawn thousands of elite soldiers from all over the country, and has drawn an elite army from Hefei, all of which have been pushed to the vicinity of Lu'an, Lu'an is the gateway to Hefei, once lost, this central town in Anhui will be over!

But when all the troops were gathering towards Lu'an, Yan Chunyu turned around and headed south and went straight to Anqing!

You must know that Yan Chunyu has eight full cavalry battalions in his hands, more than 4,000 people, all of whom are the most elite Baoding Town cavalry and training cavalry, both in terms of weapons and individual soldier quality, and the speed of marching is far faster than that of the Taiping Army.

When Yan Chunyu had been advancing the troops to the area of Yuexi, Liao Chuhui had just reacted that the goal of the Qing Demon was not Lu'an and Hefei, but An and Qing!

Liao Chuhui was shocked, and hurriedly mobilized the troops gathered in Lu'an and Hefei to go south to aid Anqing, although Anqing's troops were only thousands of people, and the equipment was not done, where was the elite main force of the West Battalion, guarding the gate of Anhui connecting Sichuan, but everyone knew that the Qing Demon under Guo Ye was powerful, and he couldn't wait to ignore it, he had to rush to help!

Liao Chuhui had just gathered his troops in Lu'an, and had to order Tan Xinglong, the lieutenant general of the seventh town, to wave his army south and go straight to Anqing.

It's just that Tan Xinglong's strength in one town, almost more than 7,000 people, came from north to south, towards Anqing!

It's a pity that Yan Chunyu had already prepared a big meal for Tan Xinglong, waiting for reinforcements from the Taiping Army to rush over.

The Taiping army is all infantry, marching all the way, but the tiredness is not light, especially the various departments are mobilized from the surrounding areas of Lu'an, it has been tossing for several days, and now it is going to continue to toss, and the Taiping soldiers are complaining!

It's just that shouting bitterness in the mouth is not bitter, and what happens next is really bitter.

Yan Chunyu ordered his artillery battalion and infantry battalion to march forward with all their might, but he left his eight cavalry battalions behind and stopped directly on the southwest side of Yue, waiting for the Taiping army to come up.

Tan Xinglong got an urgent order, marched day and night, and in six days, the march exceeded 300 miles, and finally arrived in Yuexi County.

When I arrived in Yuexi, it was not far from Anqing, and it was still less than two hundred miles away, even if it slowed down and marched, it took five or six days to arrive, although the Qing Demon was powerful, but the elite of Anqing was not bad, that was the old foundation of the Wing King, and the combat power was very strong, much stronger than his own Seventh Town, facing the Qing Demon, insisting on ten days and eight days, there was absolutely no problem!

Tan Xinglong felt a little sorry for the soldiers under him, after all, the longest march among them was close to half a month, and the short one was eight days.

It was decided to rest for the night in Dongjia Town, on the southwest side of Yue, and when it was dawn, he would set off on the march again, and he could rush to Anqing City in one breath.

Tan Xinglong, as a senior general of the Taiping Army, is still very strict with the soldiers, much stronger than the Twist Army, almost all the Taiping Army are sleeping outside, groups and groups, relying on each other to enter the dream.

Unlucky, Tan Xinglong thought that the Qing Demon had already marched towards Anqing, who would have thought that Yan Chunyu would leave all his cavalry behind, just to deal with these Taiping troops, first solve his own worries, and then do his best to attack Anqing and snatch Anqing down, then he can wave the army and take a boat along the Yangtze River and go straight to Tianjing City! The Yangtze River is turbulent, and the march will exceed 100 miles in one day, and it will not take long to get from Anqing to Tianjingyo! When the time comes, take down the Heavenly Kyoto, and that Shi Dakai can't be captured if he wants to!

Yan Chunyu is very ambitious, and he can't look down on small credits, thinking that it is just someone else's business, and he will either not do it, or if he wants to do it, he will do an earth-shattering career! If Tianjing takes it down for himself, he will be like that Zeng Guoquan and be named a first-class uncle in one fell swoop! This glory and military exploits are incomparable to anyone, Yan Chunyu wants to use this operation to prove that he is the most capable general under the eldest brother!

Old high? Xiaohai? Left precious? They all put it aside, and Lao Tzu is not unconvinced! Look at Lao Tzu to take Anqing and Tianjing, which of you can still compete with me for the first place!

Tan Xinglong, who was unaware, was unlucky enough to become Yan Chunyu's appetizer, eight cavalry battalions, 4,000 people, compared to the Taiping army, it is not very strong, but one is intentional, one is unintentional, one is armed to the teeth, one is still relying on a big sword and spear, only part of the troops are equipped with foreign guns and cannons, one has waited for two or three days, recuperating, and the other is exhausted!

In such a situation, the two sides met in Yuexi, where is Tan Xinglong's good fruit to eat?

Southwest of Yuexi, Wanjialing.

Yan Chunyu sat on the ground, holding a wine gourd in his hand, and was getting used to it in his mouth, and the reconnaissance company commander Nie Feng came galloping from afar, "Brigade commander, brigade commander!" ”

Yan Chunyu's spirit was shocked, and he stood up, "Nie Feng, have you gotten any news of Changmao?" ”

Nie Feng said with a smile: "Brigade commander, it's okay, that Tan Xinglong has already entered Dongjia Town with all the troops of his brigade, and we will spend the night in Dongjia Town tonight, this is our best chance to kill this Taiping army!" ”
