Chapter 133: Annihilation of the Enemy in Motion
Guo Ye returned to the Bali Bridge area, and Monk Greenqin was so happy that his eyes had already narrowed into a slit.
Since the battle of Dagukou to the present, this is the first real victory, which is enough to raise my eyebrows, and finally vent the evil breath that has accumulated in my heart!
"Guo Ye, good job, you deserve to be the king's lucky general! Hahaha! Well played! ”
However, Guo Ye's face was still a little gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, although we can call this battle a big victory, but it is not a complete victory, the cavalry regiment of the British army still maintains a certain combat strength, our war horses have gone through two thousand miles of travel, the consumption is too great, and the British army is all Arab horses, the speed is extremely fast, we can't wipe them all out, it's a pity......
Monk Greenqin patted Guo Ye's shoulder fiercely and replied: "In this way, it is already very good, I have already sent an excerpt to King Gong in the capital and the emperor of Rehe, please give credit to you!" ”
Sheng Bao on the side also struggled in his seat and said: "Yes, Lord Guo Shenwei, let's work harder next, and we must drive all foreigners out of China!" ”
Guo Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head, they knew too little about the Western powers, and after only one victory, they began to get carried away again, if the British and French alliance was really so easy to defeat, it would not be a peak power!
Monk Greenqin's heart sank and asked, "What's the matter, Guo Ye?" Don't you have faith yet? Even the dragoons were defeated by us, and those infantry were able to hold back our attack? ”
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, I told you yesterday that if we want to defeat Britain and France, there is only one way, that is, to use the terrain advantage to annihilate the enemy in the movement, we must lengthen our battle line and weaken the strength of the foreigners to the greatest extent, otherwise, even if we have 20,000 more troops, it will be useless!" ”
Guo Ye is right, the current Anglo-French army is nearly 30,000 people, and it is possible to increase troops from India and the South Seas at any time, and the powerful artillery is not at all something that the current Qing army can resist.
Monk Greenqin and Shengbao's faces were gloomy, if Guo Ye was not sure of winning, then how would the next war go? How to deploy?
Guo Ye continued: "Lord Wang, no matter how many infantry there are, in the face of the artillery fire of the British and French coalition forces, it will not help, and only the cavalry still has a little effect, I still say that it is necessary to cut off the transportation from Tianjin to Beijing, so that the supplies of foreigners, especially ammunition, can not be successfully replenished to the front line, in this way, in the sports war, we still have a chance to win, if we fight a decisive battle on the spot, no matter how powerful the humble position is, we will not be able to return to the sky!" ”
Monk Lingqin gritted his teeth and asked, "Then you say, what are we going to do?" Now from Bali Bridge to the city of Beijing, but it is only dozens of miles, we can maneuver the space is limited, you want to eliminate foreigners in the movement, such a small space, how to eliminate foreigners? ”
Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "The terrain is our greatest help, in the area of the Chaobai River, all of them are cornfields, which can hide our whereabouts well, and our cavalry can all escape into this green gauze tent, and give them a heavy blow when the foreigners are defenseless!" Moreover, this area has a lot of valleys, the terrain is uneven, we can also occupy the high ground and arrange ambushes, which can also deal a major blow to the foreigners, in a word, that is, not to fight them head-on, to consume them alive and die in this area! ”
Sheng Bao said dissatisfiedly: "Lord Guo, what you said is simple, what if the foreigners don't entangle with us and attack Beijing City with all their might?" What are we going to do? ”
Shengbao's question is not entirely unreasonable, Beijing City is just a stone's throw away, once the foreigners attack with all their strength, ignoring the Mongolian cavalry and the green battalion, then with the current defense strength of Beijing City, I am afraid that it can be taken overnight, after all, Beijing City has almost been hollowed out, and all the combat power has been taken to Rehe by Xianfeng!
Guo Ye replied: "Ke Shuai, it depends on how well we fight, the more wonderful we fight, the heavier the blow to the enemy, the less willing they will be able to attack Beijing with all their might, because with the pride of the British and French armies, they will never let us attack without retaliation, and instead attack Beijing." If we stab them, they will go all out to stab them back, this is the army of the West, they will be rewarded, and their military honor determines their behavior! The harder we fight them, the less they will attack Beijing, but will encircle and suppress us with all their might! ”
Monk Lingqin's brows jumped a few times, and he shouted: "Okay, this king is in charge, Guo Ye, this king will support you in doing this, the sky is falling, and this king will give you a top!" As long as you can defeat the foreigners, let them roll back to the sea honestly! ”
"Guo Ye, how do you want to fight?"
Guo Ye pulled over the map and said: "Lord Wang, immediately disperse our troops, transfer out eight hundred elite cavalry, equip them with a hundred rifles, let them sneak into the Baihe area, as long as they see the foreigners' baggage team, they will beat me hard, even if they can't be eliminated, they must burn all their baggage, without the supply of ammunition, the foreigners' combat strength must at least be discounted!" ”
Monk Lingqin shouted: "Okay, He Qimou, immediately lead the personal guard cavalry battalion, and you will go out in person!" Didn't you learn a lot from Guo Ye? It's up to you this time, ****, don't embarrass this king! ”
He Qimou smiled slightly: "Don't worry, the prince is wrapped up in his humble duties, and he guarantees that the supply of foreigners will not be able to cross the Bali Bridge!" ”
Guo Ye said in a low voice: "Big brother, remember, attack and harass, save your strength, don't be hard!" ”
He Qimou's heart was shocked, and he nodded again and again, Guo Ye is much more cautious now than when he fought Tsarist Russia, which shows that the enemy he is facing is definitely a lot stronger.
Guo Ye continued: "Second, the infantry of the Green Battalion under Keshuai moved in the direction of Tongzhou and Shanhaiguan, guarding the communication arteries between Shanhaiguan and Beijing City, which can not only rush to the aid of Beijing at any time, but also block it on the way of the British army's roundabout reinforcements!" Third, the monk king, our main force is moving closer to the city of Beijing, and is ready to defend Beijing; Fourth, 2,000 elites from various departments should be drawn from all departments, all rifles and artillery should be concentrated, and all weapons and ammunition should be equipped for them, even if they can't shoot, they must master them in the shortest possible time! Plus my 1,000 troops, 3,000 men, enough to fight the Anglo-French forces! ”
3,000 troops, worthy of a battle!
Monk Greenqin looked at Guo Ye with a shocked face, is this kid so crazy!
