"General Qin, I only have three thousand men under my command. This defense line is dozens of miles long. Please tell me how to launch the defense." Wei Yuntian asked for instructions.
"Yes, three thousand people are far from enough for defense, but Yuntian, you are familiar with the art of war, and you must also know that the best defense is to attack!" Qin Gang said, "So I decided to let you and the three thousand brothers attack him. , how about taking Golden Beach the night before my army’s general attack?”
Wei Yuntian was speechless.
Golden Beach is not just a beach, but a city built along the river!
Although the city is not as large as Shunfeng City, it is located in a dangerous location and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its strength may be even greater than that of Shunfeng City!
Because the water of Bailong River almost surrounds the entire Golden Beach, it forms a natural barrier to the Jinsha City built on it.
If you want to attack Jinsha City, you must first cross the river. So how can my three thousand heavy armored cavalry swim across such a wide river? Just take off your shirt and swim over there?
The problem is that we can't even get close to the river, because the warships cruising on the river can fire at us from a few miles away.
I'm afraid that there will already be heavy casualties before we reach the river. By the time we get to the river, it would be good if only 300 of the 3,000 people could survive. Then we would brave the rain of guns and arrows from the battleships and the city walls to cross the river...
"Last general..." Wei Yuntian's face turned dark.
"What?" Qin Gang's face instantly darkened, "Yuntian, do you want to disobey me?"
"I will obey your orders!" Wei Yuntian said loudly.
"Okay!" Qin Gang replied happily, "I know that Yuntian you are a fierce general. If this important task is handed over to someone else, I would really not be at ease, and only you can do it. But military law is ruthless, if you can do it overnight If we cannot capture Golden Beach in time, our entire battle plan will be in vain, so you..."
"The last general is willing to issue a military order!" Wei Yuntian said without hesitation, "If you cannot complete this mission, please behead someone!"
"Okay, okay!" Qin Gang was overjoyed, "I wish Yuntian and your brothers immediate success! In the future, I will definitely record the first contribution to Yuntian in taking Shunfeng City!"
"Thank you, general!" Wei Yuntian said.
"Go and prepare. You will set off the day after tomorrow and station yourself near the Golden Beach to stand by." Qin Gang had finished his instructions and personally sent Wei Yuntian out...
When I returned to the Governor's Mansion, I was furious.
Xiao Chen, Zhuge Xiaosheng, Dugulou, Lin Yue, Madman, Liu Fuhai and others were talking about something. When they saw him rushing in with an angry look on his face, they all looked at him in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yue said, "Are you angry with Qin Gang?"
"You're not just angry, you're almost angry to death!" Wei Yuntian said.
"Why?" Zhuge Xiaosheng asked.
"Hmph! You guys always say that I have a crow's mouth, but I think you and Dugu are the crow's mouth, Xiaosheng! You have all been right," said Wei Yuntian.
"Alas..." Xiao Chen sighed, "This Qin Gang really can't achieve anything."
"There's no need to worry about fighting with each other if we're in the same room!" Lin Yue said.
"Qin Gang's battle idea is right. The Golden Beach is the key to this battle. As long as we capture it, we can basically seal the victory. It would be a big mistake to just send Yuntian's heavy armored cavalry to attack." Lonely corridor.
"Haha, he probably thought that Jinshatan couldn't be attacked at all, but he was worried that the Russians would come out from Jinshatan to harass the rear, so he simply pushed Yuntian and the others up. At least it could delay the Russians' attack and give him a favorable wind to attack. City time." Zhuge Xiaosheng said.
"Actually, it's not a big deal even if the Russians send troops from Golden Beach. They can let Yuntian and his three thousand people spread out for mobile defense, and there is no need to snipe from the position. They just need to harass them non-stop. They don't even have food channels. How many days can it last? I'm afraid it will collapse in less than three days." Lin Yue said.
"Lin Yue is right. The Russians can only adopt a defensive posture now and are unlikely to take the initiative. It doesn't matter even if their river ships and warships move westward along the Bailong River, because it has no strategic significance at all, so I guess they will Stick to the golden beach, even if you send river boats to the west, it will only scare us." Xiao Chen said.
The boss knows things like a god and makes sense! Everyone gave Xiao Chen a thumbs up.
"I know it all, how could that guy Qin Gang not know?" Xiao Chen sneered, "It seems that he still wants to take advantage of this battle to get rid of Yuntian and the others to avoid future troubles. Damn it, I am so down-to-earth and still Carefully select and give him three thousand elites!"
"Then we have to thank him." Lonely Lou said with a smile, "If it weren't for him, we would still have had some trouble after we captured Golden Beach. Now it's fine. As long as we capture Golden Beach, Yuntian's three thousand heavy armors can march straight in and sweep across Fair wind!”
In fact, when they decided to attack Shunfeng Port, Zhuge Xiaosheng and Dugulou had already begun to prepare a battle plan. When Xiao Chen was still in Fengyang City, the entire plan was basically completed.
Qin Gang's 20,000 men were not even included in this plan. Instead, relying on Yanyun County's existing troops, they were enough to capture Shunfeng Port.
Of course, this is only a land combat plan, and it still requires the cooperation of the combined maritime fleet.
Now that Li Wanjiang has sent Qin Gang, of course the plan needs to be changed.
If Qin Gang is a person who understands current affairs, Xiao Chen can help him take Shunfeng City easily, and also save his life by the way, so that he can leave Yanyun County alive.
But now Qin Gang doesn't understand current affairs, and he really wants to squeeze Xiao Chen away and take root in Yanyun County...
Xiao Chen stopped helping him, but he didn't cause trouble for him either. After all, capturing Shunfeng Port was their common goal, but we just had to do our own thing.
You, Qin Gang, go and fight the Russians head-on. We will be responsible for capturing the Golden Beach. We will divide our forces into two groups and not interfere with each other!
The commander-in-chief of this battle is Dugulou. At present, his navy has begun to take shape. The 3,000 navy troops who have been trained for half a year, plus the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by Wu Hanming, have reached 5,000 people!
Although there is not a single large warship, there are ten medium-sized warships and more than 300 small warships of various types. This is the result of tens of thousands of craftsmen working hard for half a year.
It’s enough to fight the Ross fleet!
Of course, you can’t use hard steel. You still need some clever strategies and the cooperation of land troops...
Today, Zhuge Xiaosheng and the others came to Xiao Chen, not to discuss the battle plan, but to ask him for instructions on a very important matter.
Now the madman has developed an extremely powerful smoothbore cannon. After countless tests, it has basically met the requirements of actual combat.
Due to the limitations of the current steel processing technology and tool performance, no matter how good the madman is, he cannot carve out rifling in the barrel, which makes it impossible to achieve a far enough range and ideal accuracy.
Despite this, these cannons can actually be used in actual combat, but the madman himself feels that they are not perfect...
