When the Qingqi arrived at the predetermined strategic position, they put military pressure on Daqi County and cut off the main transportation routes, and then the subsequent main force carried out the attack.
As for the expeditionary brigade, it will advance from the left wing and pass through Changling County, Baima Stronghold, Sanpanshui Station, and other nine nodes. It will adopt the tactics of fierce attack and fierce attack along the way. If the battle goes well, it will directly conquer and only target the enemy. Military units carry out hunting to minimize civilian casualties and avoid arousing public resentment, which would be detrimental to the march.
If you encounter anyone who resists, just give it a try, bypass them all, and continue marching downward.
In the end, the expedition brigade will draw an arc in Zhuozhou and finally meet up with the main force in Daying County. At this time, if the main force has conquered Daying County, they will continue to advance. If they fail in the attack, they will assist each other and continue to attack.
The mobile battalion, composed of a thousand Tianji battalion guards, has only one strategic mission, which is to cause destruction everywhere.
As long as they are military facilities, camps, county towns, or larger towns, they are all targets for sneak attacks!
Anyone with an official status was massacred.
And the mobile battalion was divided into parts, with every fifty people forming a company, and twenty companies were divided. Each company carried out sneak attacks on one target, and carried out more attacks at more points. However, the distance between companies should not exceed a hundred miles. In this way, they can regroup in a short period of time and launch a large-scale attack on larger military targets.
The mission objectives of the mobile battalion and the expeditionary brigade are the same. They are to maneuver quickly, test the enemy in short and high-intensity battles, attack if they can overcome it, and retreat if they cannot. They must avoid the tough ones and pick the soft ones.
With such a strategic arrangement, as long as everything goes well, the entire Zhuozhou will be torn apart like sharp knives by the high-speed advancing Qingqi and the main force.
Coupled with the rapid and circuitous advance of the expeditionary brigade and the multiple blooms of the mobile battalion, the entire Zhuozhou will be in a state of chaos.
In the eyes of Li Zhang and Xu Mo, there are only three must-attack cities in Zhuozhou, namely Sangqian, Nanhua and Daqi.
As long as these three towns are captured, whether they can control Zhuozhou is not within the scope of Li Zhang and Xu Mo's consideration, because the subsequent opposition imperialists will clean up the entire Zhuozhou.
In addition, after losing the two important front teeth towns of Sangqian and Nanhua, the subsequent reinforcements from Sangzhou can also enter Zhuozhou more smoothly.
If all goes well, with the high-speed advancement of Qingqi and the main force, the main attack on Daqi County will begin in six days.
On the third day of the strategic deployment, the entire Beidi had become a world dominated by messengers.
The messengers traveling from south to north were exhausted running along the official road.
Seven days later, the first military order was delivered to Chen Si. At this moment, Chen Si had already deployed a large army around Changshui County and was making final preparations for the attack.
Looking at the urgent military report of 100,000 yuan sent from Zhuozhou, Chen Si couldn't help but frown.
"The war in Zhuozhou has begun. With the strength of Zhuozhou's garrison, we can hold on for at least a month! By then, even if the enemy's army is brave and marches all the way north, by the time it reaches the threshold of the capital, the overall situation will be decided!"
"Zhuozhou has been harassed for so long. This war is inevitable. Don't let Zhuozhou's military situation affect our deployment in Gyeonggi."
Chen Si casually threw the military report to his subordinates and continued to urge his generals to mobilize before the war.
As a result, within half a day, new military reports came.
This time, Chen Si opened the military newspaper and his eyes became serious when he saw the contents.
"The opposition rebel party has launched a fierce attack on Sanggan and Nanhua?"
"Sangqian and Nanhua are two important towns at the front of Zhuozhou. Although the opposition imperial party has more than 50,000 troops, it would be a bit fanciful to capture these two towns in a short period of time."
Although Chen Si subconsciously felt that this must be a military misjudgment by the opponent, when he thought that all the enemy's war actions were mostly designated by Qin Feng, for the sake of safety, Chen Si immediately spread out the map and re-observed carefully. The situation in Zhuozhou.
"Sangqian Nanhua is not only a strong county, but also an important military town. Especially Nanhua, there are six thousand defenders, and the food and grass are enough to last more than a year."
"According to the reported military information, the opposition imperialist party divided into two groups and attacked Sangqian and Nanhua at the same time. The army from Sangzhou each sent four thousand troops to assist the opposition imperialist party in launching a critical battle."
"Even so, conquering Sanggan Nanhua will not be accomplished overnight."
"Unless there is an internal response in the city, cooperation from inside and outside, or the defenders surrender directly, they can hold on for at least two months."
"If the other side really wastes so much time on Sanggan Nanhua, I'm afraid the entire Winter War will be declared a failure."
"What are the enemy's intentions?"
Chen Si stood in front of the map, rubbing his chin, thoughtfully.
A bold idea vaguely appeared in his mind. The enemy had no intention of conquering Sangqian and Nanhua, the two important incisor towns, but simply surrounded them as dead cities.
As a result, even if Sangqian and Nanhua did not fall, they had lost the ability to provide external support and were in name only.
Why are they deliberately trying to destroy Sangqian and Nanhua? Could it be Daqi County?
Chen Si shook his head: "Daqi County is located at the northernmost point of Zhuozhou and is extremely strong. If the enemy wants to attack Daqi County, they must prepare at least 7,000 troops and carry siege equipment. According to the normal marching speed of the army , even if we work hard, it will take at least twenty days to reach Daqi County."
"The Qingqi can advance quickly, but they will definitely be blocked along the way. Even if they reach Daqi County, they can only block the outskirts of Daqi County. There is nothing they can do against this important town."
Just when Chen Si was thinking hard and still had no clue, Jing Peng beside him suddenly said something.
"General, if the enemy army can reach Daqi County in a short period of time and launch an attack, Zhuozhou will lose its head and tail and be divided in two from the middle."
"By then, it will be difficult for the major strongholds in Zhuozhou to form an alliance and support each other. By then, the enemy's follow-up troops will clear out the stubborn resistance in each stronghold one by one."
Chen Si nodded: "What you said makes sense, but the problem is that as the army advances, its speed will inevitably be greatly reduced. Is it possible that the speed of the attacking troops can catch up with the light cavalry?"
Jing Peng suddenly said: "The opponent's general must be Qin Feng, nothing is impossible!"
"Qin Feng has built Beixi County into a powerful county that is second to none. He is extremely rich. Moreover, he has been preparing for this winter war for a long time. It is really not enough. He owns a large number of horses."
Lots of horses…
Chen Si's head buzzed, he slapped the map and shouted: "Long before the national war started, there was reliable news that Qin Feng had been trying every means to increase the number of war horses in reserve!"
