"There is really no other way!"
Wang Sheng looked at the old man and said, "Teacher, as a top commander with the same reputation as Teacher Zeng, although you have withdrawn from the front line in recent years, your ability is here. Is there really nothing you can do?"
"Don't compare me with that old monster," the old man shook his head and said, "This is a conspiracy. There is no way to solve it. Unless we can resist and defeat them with the strength of six armies, we can only retreat."
"What if there are seven armies!"
Wang Sheng stood up and said, "I have brought back the 38th Army at the border. It will take about three days to arrive!"
"Three days!"
The old man looked at Wang Sheng and said, "Judging from the current situation, it will be very difficult for us to last for one day, let alone three days. The so-called green hills can be saved without worrying about having no firewood. We are just being plotted, and the actual losses are not big." , can make a comeback.”
"Damn it!"
Wang Sheng punched the chair and shouted, "Let the troops of the five frontline armies withdraw."
"Also," Wang Sheng said with fierce eyes, "I blew up all the logistics supplies and ammunition in the military base. We can't get it, and we don't want him, Xue Jiajun, to enjoy the gains."
"Yes, Commander."
...
Only half an hour after Wang Sheng issued the order, Su Yu received the news. Because the Shanglu Military Intelligence Bureau had spread across all provinces in the south, he would be able to know if there was any slight disturbance on the front line.
"Have the troops stop attacking."
Su Yu said to Liao Yuanliang, "I just got the news that Wang Sheng has withdrawn the troops of the five frontline armies. Then the Xue Jiajun will be able to destroy the military base in Wancheng, and our mission will be completed."
"commander."
Liao Yuanliang looked at Su Yu and said, "Why don't we join forces with the Xue family army to destroy Wang Sheng's regiment."
"It's not as easy as you think," Su Yu shook his head and said, "The 38th Army of the New Army, which is responsible for defending the border, is also coming with all its strength. At that time, we will face the strength of 7 armies, and we want to destroy them. These seven armies, nearly 200,000 strong, can you do it in ten days?"
"this!"
Liao Yuanliang was asked. It was impossible to destroy 200,000 troops in ten days, not to mention that they only had 200,000 soldiers, and the ratio of troops was almost one to one.
"So," Su Yu continued, "don't forget that in the neighboring province, Wang Sheng still has 5 armies. It only takes 9 days for them to arrive to support, although Xue Jiajun has 5 armies who are also containing them. They, but the Xue Jiajun without hundreds of artillery, do you think they can contain it?"
"So," Su Yu looked at Liao Yuanliang and said, "as long as our plan is completed, as for the subsequent comeback of the Wang Sheng Corps, we can ask the richest man Xue Da to buy artillery from us and equip the other five armies. , then when the time comes, there will be many opportunities to deal with Wang Sheng’s regiment.”
"I see."
Liao Yuanliang responded, "I'll make arrangements right away."
On the front line, Guo Dahai and other three armies are still attacking. Two hours have passed and they still haven't entered the city. However, Guo Dahai's three armies have already engaged in close combat with the enemy at the gap. It only takes half an hour. , we can successfully break through and enter the city.
"Haidai," Liao Yuanliang came to the headquarters of the 3rd Army and said to Guo Dahai, "the commander asked our three armies to encircle and stop the attack."
"clear."
Guo Dahai nodded and did not ask why, because as a soldier, he only had to obey orders. As for why he stopped attacking, there was naturally the above reason.
Next, in less than a moment, the three armies stopped attacking and surrounded Yongcheng. This move made the soldiers in the city very confused, because they could no longer hold it. In just half an hour, this The city gate was about to be breached, why did the security forces suddenly stop attacking?
The soldiers were confused, and Wang Sheng was also very confused, why Su Yu suddenly stopped attacking!
"It's very simple," the old man said looking at Wang Sheng, "the other party must know it. We have transferred the troops from Wancheng back, so if they continue to attack and engage in street fighting with the 37th Army in Yongcheng, then we will When the troops come back, they will be attacked from both sides, so Su Yu's move is to stop losses in time."
"clever."
Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "I haven't encountered such a difficult enemy in many years."
"yes!"
The old man also sighed very much and said, "This Su Yu's strategic vision can be compared with that of old man Zeng. No matter who he goes to war with, he can predict the enemy first and not suffer any losses. I see in this Su Yu what I saw back then." The figure of old man Zeng.”
"But he is not from the imperial court!"
Wang Sheng looked at the old man and said, "Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken control of the government, the dynasty that should have been decadent has begun to decline. In the past two years, the army has undergone major rectifications, and with the help of civil and military personnel, I thought it would be easier than defeating the local government." The governor, but now it seems that he still underestimated the people of the world."
"There is no need to be discouraged," the old man said, looking at Wang Sheng. "Next, our corps only needs to concentrate all its forces and encroach on Guangyuan Province step by step. They will consume us. Their local governors cannot defeat us."
Outside the city, Su Yu called all three army commanders. Looking at their faces, Su Yu said with a smile, "Look at you, not letting you fight is like eating your flesh."
"In this way," Su Yu continued, "gather all the artillery in the army and fire clearing shots at the target city. This is an important military town anyway. There are no civilians in the city. Give me a full blow."
"Yes, Commander."
Hearing this, the three army commanders immediately became interested. In order to attack Yongcheng, their three armies lost a lot of soldiers. After two hours of fighting, the three armies combined lost at least a thousand people.
So now I hear that I can bombard Yongcheng, can I not be happy?
In the artillery position, all 144 122mm howitzers are in place, as well as field artillery under the division-level organization. In total, 135 artillery pieces have been mobilized. This makes a total of 279 artillery pieces, equivalent to the firepower of six artillery regiments.
"Attention all artillerymen."
Wang Wu shouted to the artillery, "The artillery fire gradually extends into the city. Every time a gun is fired, adjust the position of a scale for me and extend forward."
"fire!"
As Wang Wu's order was issued, the artillery quickly loaded the shells and then fired them.
"Boom!"
279 steel cannonballs began to be fired into Yongcheng like a net.
At this time, the New Army soldiers who had just returned from the front line were sitting on the ground eating steamed buns. They had been fighting for two hours, but they were starving.
"Look!"
One soldier pointed to the sky and shouted, "It looks like a cannonball!"
"Get down here."
