Chapter 147: Ambush of the Twin Bridges

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, my lords, this time the British and French forces are attacking, and they will definitely not attack in the division of troops, they have already suffered enough from dividing the troops, the so-called eating a trench and growing wise, that Saxton is not so stupid!" ”

Sheng Bao replied: "Lord Guo, the difficulty is here, if their reinforcements arrive, the strength of the British and French forces will exceed 15,000 people, although we have 25,000 people here, but it is still not enough to fully resist the British and French forces, and our artillery combat power is far behind the foreigners!" ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "I am in charge of this war, it is called an asymmetric war, that is, regardless of the advantages of the British and French forces, only for their disadvantages, concentrate all our cavalry, give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and attack their weakest link with the most powerful combat power, this is the general strategy of our campaign!" ”

Monk Lingqin replied: "Asymmetrical war, I feel that you are more like using the method of Tian Ji horse racing, with your own donkey, to the other, to the boss!" ”

Guo Ye smiled: "That's pretty much what it means, but it's not entirely like this, because we don't have a middle horse, and they don't have a middle horse, what we can do is to use our advantages to fight their disadvantages, but their disadvantages may burst out at a certain time, and the combat power that may break out is even stronger, but this opportunity must be grasped!" ”

Monk Greenqin nodded and motioned for Guo Ye to continue.

Guo Ye continued: "Lord Wang, I will lead the cavalry of Baoding Town and the Mongolian horse team under your command, a total of more than 3,000 cavalry, to set up an ambush at Shuangqiao again, preparing to ambush the British and French forces!" This is our key, the mobility of the cavalry is our greatest advantage, and most of the Anglo-French forces are infantry, which is their disadvantage, relying on the cavalry to take them by surprise and destroy their artillery combat power! This is the only chance we have to turn the tide of war on both sides! ”

Ruilin is a civilian official, and he doesn't have much insight into military command, but Seng Lingqin and Shengbao are veterans of a hundred battles and have rich experience. Absolutely not!

Monk Lingqin shouted: "Guo Ye, you are confused, in this county, you can set up an ambush anywhere, but Shuangqiao can't set up an ambush!" Here is an ambush of the British and French forces, the British and French forces will inevitably take more precautions, we will definitely not take advantage of the slightest advantage here! ”

"Yes, the prince is right!"

Shengbao also said urgently, "Lord Guo, this matter must not be done, don't say that the foreigners will be hit hard, if it is not good, we will be bitten hard by the foreigners here, and if we don't do it, we will be wiped out!" Foreigners are not fools, where can they fall twice in a pit? ”

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Lord Wang, Keshuai, you two are too worried, from Zhangjiawan to Yangzha, it is difficult to set up an ambush anywhere, but only Shuangqiao can set up an ambush!" And it is necessary to set up an ambush on the double bridge! ”

Monk Greenqin and Shengbao looked at each other, but they really didn't know what Guo Ye meant.

Guo Ye continued: "Lord Wang, Ke Shuai, it is true that the generals of the British and French coalition are not fools, and their combat literacy is very high, and they have a very good set of strategies and tactics, it is too difficult to fool them!" ”

Monk Lingqin said angrily: "You kid know, still arrange it like this?" ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "Lord Wang, it is precisely because of the powerful generals of the British and French coalition that I want to set up an ambush at Shuangqiao again?" That Saxton, very powerful, very cunning, he attacked again, he would definitely be careful to take precautions, and even sent a cavalry scout to detect the enemy all the way, but only the two bridges would not, Saxton would definitely imagine that we would not set up an ambush on the two bridges again, we could just do the opposite, Saxton was smart, and he couldn't think of this, hehe......"

Guo Ye laughed gloomily, Monk Greenqin and Shengbao glanced at each other, their eyes were full of incredible, this Guo Ye is special, what is in his head, such a strategy can even be remembered! Hell, this kid is a ghost!

Monk Lingqin said in a low voice: "Boy, are you sure? ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "More than seventy percent sure, I never guarantee ten percent certainty in war, when I really have ten percent certainty, all the fighters have slipped away, and it may be a huge trap!" ”

"Good! Done! Wealth and danger are sought! ”

Monk Greenqin slapped his thigh fiercely, and the clapper was settled.

Guo Ye continued: "Lord Wang, I led the main force of the cavalry to attack the British and French forces, the main target is their artillery, their infantry should not lose much, from Shuangqiao to Yangzha, but twenty miles away, you have to arrange all the infantry, especially our artillery, we must occupy all the high points, condescending, seek the initiative, as long as you can hold on until our cavalry kills back from behind, I think this time, even if we can't win steadily, we can at least be invincible!" ”

"Good!"

Monk Greenqin nodded and replied: "Guo Ye, don't worry, although I am good at cavalry combat, but this infantry is no stranger, not to mention that there is Kezhai next to me to assist me, at least for a short time, they can't help us, not to mention, there is also providence to help, this rain has begun to fall now, it is estimated that it will not be sunny for a few days, their bullets are all damp, I am afraid that they can't even shoot their guns, and they still want to fight us?" Hey hey ......"

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, don't be careless, even if the British and French forces can't shoot, they can still fight bayonets, the bayonet training of Westerners is very powerful, especially good at cooperating, and the combat power is strong, what you are commanding is not your cavalry, but the green battalion soldiers, can they resist the bayonets of the British and French forces, to be honest, I really have no confidence in my heart......

When Seng Greenqin saw Guo Ye like this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he asked, "Guo Ye, could it be that the white-knuckle battle of the British and French forces is also so powerful?" I don't believe it, if that's the case, we're still going to fart? Surrender directly! ”

Guo Ye replied: "Yes, one-on-one, our green battalion soldiers and others may have the slightest chance of winning, but ten against ten, we will undoubtedly lose, fifty against hundred, our chances of winning are less than fifty percent, this is not only a matter of skill, the so-called combat power, comes from various factors, morale, determination, cooperation, and the spirit of not afraid of death!" The reason why I asked you to drive those 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled back to Beijing is precisely for this purpose, they do not have this spirit, they can only become a stumbling block to us, no matter how many people there are, it is useless! You should know that if that Ildona led two thousand green battalion soldiers against your three hundred cavalry, the two thousand green battalion would definitely collapse in an instant......"
