After saying that, Qi Yu opened the map of Annan Kingdom and explained it in detail.
"Judging from the current military information, the Fujian army did not achieve the siege they wanted. Instead, they were blocked twenty miles north of the city and were dragged into a ground battle."
"In other words, the defense of Annan City at this time is empty. If we launch a sudden cold attack, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard. As long as our small steel cannon does not misfire, we can blast open the main entrance of the broken city in one fell swoop. That's it. As soon as we come here, that old boy King Annan will be easily captured!"
What Qi Yu said was concise and concise. In just a few sentences, he made the current situation and the next strategy clear and clear, making it clear to everyone.
Regarding this battle, he has also set a very clear goal, that is, to capture King Annan alive.
Yes!
This is what he calls "catch the thief first, catch the king first!"
Later, Qi Yu elaborated on the tactical arrangements: "As for the marching route, the following method proposed by Haitao can be used. That is, follow the route taken by the Fujian army and approach forward to reduce the risk of attack. The probability of an encounter occurring.”
After a pause, he continued: "After approaching Annan King City, we immediately used small artillery to attack the city and smashed open their city gates with lightning speed. After entering the city, we immediately The troops were divided into two groups. One of them, led by Haitao, was responsible for guarding the gates of the captured royal city to prevent the Annan army from returning to defense or to take advantage of the situation to rob the Fujian army. The other army, led by me personally, went straight to Annan's gate. Palace, capture the enemy chief alive!”
Hearing this, Haitao responded hurriedly and solemnly: "Young general, you have the order!"
"..."
Next, Qi Yu specifically explained some possible emergencies and corresponding countermeasures. After that, he ordered a short rest and then entered the battlefield.
The so-called rest naturally refers to taking a short rest and cooking.
Only when you are full can you be motivated to kill the enemy!
The dishes are pretty good, although they are roughly cooked, but simplicity is the key.
Qiongzhou is now rich and prosperous, and there will no longer be a painful march like the one during the conquest of that banquet.
Taking advantage of this short meal time, Haitao took the opportunity to ask for advice.
"The younger one is very puzzled. Why does the Annan Army not defend the royal city, but instead wants to shut out the enemy and start a land battle?"
Yes, we obviously have geographical advantages, but why not take advantage of them?
This is really puzzling.
"It seems that you still don't know enough about Annan's situation." Huang Fei said before Qi Yu could answer.
He had lived in the Annan area for a long time on business, so he was very familiar with the actual situation in this country and was indeed qualified to say this.
Naturally, Haitao didn't dare to ask for advice. He quickly raised his hands and asked for advice: "I have little knowledge, so I hope Master Huang can give me some advice."
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Seeing him being so humble, Huang Fei nodded happily, and then said: "Annan is a small country with poor resources and a small population. In addition to being relatively poor in business, its military strength The development is also quite backward, which is probably very different from Luzon before the surrender. It is precisely because of this that they will purchase warships from the Franco Kingdom."
Although Haitao was well versed in the art of war, he did not understand politics. Hearing this, he felt as if a frog in a well suddenly saw the light of day.
Huang Fei felt a strong sense of pride when he saw this, and even more show off: "Annan Kingdom's navy has been destroyed by our group and has lost the value of discussion. I will focus on their army's combat power... ... Generally speaking, their combat power should be similar to that of our ancient Chinese Bronze Army. Otherwise, how could the clever Fujian army not be defeated with less and more?"
After talking for a long time, I still couldn't get to the topic.
Why did the Annan army choose to fight on land instead of defending the royal city?
Huang Fei finally realized that he was off topic and hurriedly added: "Although the Annan Army has low combat power, it has a special strength, that is, it is very good at jungle warfare. It is for this reason that they chose to abandon the defense of the royal city and focus on War on land."
Understood.
Annan's move was to use his own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses, which is not difficult to understand.
Qi Yu smiled and added: "There is one more thing. The walls of Annan Royal City are short and thin. They have been weathered and in disrepair for a long time, and have long lost their defensive function. Its solidity is roughly the same as the inner wall. The small counties in Lu are comparable. How can such a dilapidated city defense have any geographical advantages? Since there is no danger to defend, it is better to use the jungle warfare they are good at to increase their chances of winning. "
Haitao was stunned for a moment, then said with great joy: "So, it's not too difficult for us to break through King Annan City?"
Qi Yu said 'hmm' and said: "If the royal city is really impregnable, how could Annan's army not defend it?"
After saying that, he immediately put on his serious face and said: "Okay, let's set off immediately and attack Huanglong while their bloody battle is in full swing!"
…
The subsequent march went very smoothly.
It can be said to be like entering a deserted place.
In fact, there were really few people on the way. Even if they encountered one or two probing soldiers and crab generals, they were taken care of by Hong Tao with his machete.
In order not to alert others, the noisy muskets were not used for the time being.
With the wind and water flowing smoothly, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh: I really want to thank the clever Fujian army. If they hadn't helped him clear the way, how could it have been so smooth?
As they approached Annan King's City, Qiong's army suddenly slowed down in its movements and prepared to attack.
Sudden!
boom! boom! boom!
Three deafening loud noises exploded between the heaven and the earth, like thunder falling suddenly from the nine heavens, causing everyone's eardrums to explode.
What's going on?
broken! There is an enemy attack!
The royal city garrison, who had come to their senses, immediately took action. However, before they could raise their knives, they were beaten into pieces by a sudden burst of musket fire.
It is not difficult to see from their unblinking eyes how unwilling they are!
Alas!
I don’t even know who killed me. How can I be willing to accept this?
It can be said that the Qiong Army's sudden drop really caught the opponent off guard. Annan's army was dead and wounded, and was completely defeated.
During this period, Qi Yu specially lit a 'Zhonghua' brand Victory cigarette. However, before he could take a few puffs, the enemy's city gate was blasted through.
"Oh, you didn't even give me time to smoke a cigarette..."
"What are you doing standing still? Go ahead!"
Qi Yu trampled Hua Zi with regret, and then waved his hand, and his soldiers rushed forward like arrows from the string.
Look!
The team led by Haitao is like a hardworking farmer who works tirelessly to harvest Annan's leeks.
Kill gods when you meet them, kill Buddhas when you meet them!
Its power is stronger than that of a tiger!
Tsk tsk, the royal city of Annan, which Qi Yu had dreamed of, was defeated abruptly.
