Chapter 2736: The key to Kyushu is as heavy as a mountain, the enemy general, secret talk overnight
It was not until the gate of Jiangnan Daying near the departure point that the Mongolian army completely got rid of the range of the artillery.
At this time, they looked at the Hutou Peak far away and found that the straight-line distance between them and the peak was almost four miles away! This means that when they wanted to continue attacking the top of the mountain, they would start to be attacked by artillery fire when they wanted to continue attacking the top of the mountain.
Then they had to run three or four miles away with cannons to reach the foot of the mountain.
After that, he had to jump off his war horse and climb up the mountain... I don’t know how many casualties would be caused during this process, which really makes people feel numb when they remember it! Today, Guo Baoyu was fooled first, and his human wave tactics were tragically killed and injured by others and then returned in vain.
At this time, Guo Baoyu was like a gambler who was desperate to lose, and his heart was constantly suffering.
On the one hand, he would rather die than give up and planned to take down Hutou Peak and Xiangyang City, but on the other hand, he was helpless about the tricky nail on the top of Hutou Peak.
If they continue to attack next, I don’t know how much death or injury they will have to pay.
The huge casualties of these Mongolian soldiers made Guo Baoyu feel increasingly stressed.
He is now like a man who embezzled public funds and then lost a lot of money at the gambling table.
On the one hand, he couldn't bear the failure, but on the other hand, he wanted to use the remaining money as a gambling bill to win back the previous losses.
It is really conceivable that he felt uncomfortable at this moment! At this moment, Guo Baoyu received a notice from the envoy sent by Jiangbei Camp, asking him to return to Jiangbei immediately to meet Marshal Torre.
Guo Baoyu knew it was a blessing or a disaster, but he could not escape it, so he had to grit his teeth and grit his teeth and cross the Han River with his son Guo Dehai to meet Marshal Tolei.
...Before Guo Baoyu saw Tolei, he found that the casualties between Fancheng City Wall and Jiangbei Camp were in chaos. Countless corpses covered the tragic situation of a large area of fields. Guo Baoyu was even more frightened! The attack on Jiangbei Camp was also frustrated, and the losses were not less than that of him.
Guo Baoyu realized that Marshal Torre would not be in much better mood at this time, and he might vent the evil fire on his head.
But when he actually saw Marshal Torre, he saw the Marshal sitting in the dark tent, his face was calm and peaceful.
Torre has calmed down now. After years of fighting with his father, he knew that the more this time, the more he needed to suppress his anger.
So no matter how anxious he is, at least he no longer looks angry on his face.
When Guo Baoyu saw Torre, who was twenty years younger than him, he was so calm, he secretly admired the marshal's calmness and wisdom.
The two immediately exchanged the results of today's battles between the two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. The number of people lost by the Mongolian army in Xiangyang and Fancheng made them both frightened.
After fighting last night and today, Guo Baoyu lost as many as eight or nine thousand people.
In this regard, yesterday's night sneak attack and the cross-bombing of Xiangyang City and Hutou Peak this morning were actually not many people lost.
The most serious thing was that the attack on the sea of people was nearly noon.
The number of casualties in the Torre army exceeded that of Guo Baoyu, with about 11,000 people.
What surprised Guo Baoyu was that Marshal Torre did not criticize him, which also made Guo Baoyu grateful to Marshal Torre for this.
You should know that if Guo Baoyu's defeat this time was replaced by a irritable marshal, he would strip him naked and whip him hard with a horse whip! Moreover, Tore also comforted Guo Baoyu with gentle words, telling him not to worry and continue to maintain a strong offensive against Hutou Peak, which also made Guo Baoyu feel grateful.
After that, the two of them exchanged views.
Guo Baoyu praised Marshal Torre's idea of using a large number of catapults and tens of thousands of enemies to attack Fancheng. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Marshal Torre made a correct decision.
At the same time, Torre also affirmed Guo Baoyu's tactics in attacking Hutou Peak and immediately made adjustments.
This time he asked Guo Baoyu to take away the Seminister Army of 20,000 people. The reason for this was not explained, but the generals and the generals were tacitly informed.
Because when Guo Baoyu attacks Hutou Peak tomorrow, he will definitely still use the human wave tactics.
The 20,000 Seme Legion sent by Marshal Torre was used by Guo Baoyu to consume it on the mountain. This can prevent more Mongolian men from dying under the Hutou Peak.
At the same time, Torre also gave up the 20,000 Seminister Legion that crossed the river and brought a large number of ten thousand enemies in his army.
For Guo Baoyu, the trencher is too tall and heavy, and the weight of the Mongolian army cannon is closer to that of a solid iron lump.
Therefore, in the absence of large ships, there is no possibility of crossing the Han River.
And these ten thousand enemies, because of their powerful explosion and lethality, can be thrown upwards when approaching the Hutou Peak position.
Guo Baoyu estimated that the size of the small position on the top of the mountain would be estimated to be able to kill half of them if there were more than a dozen or ten thousand enemies thrown up... At that time, there would be no suspense to capture Hutou Peak.
So after paying homage to Marshal Tolei, Guo Baoyu's Battle at Hutou Peak also had a new tactical idea.
He planned to use a large number of servants as cover tomorrow morning to push the troops to the vicinity of the Hutou Peak position as today, and then use ten thousand enemies to solve the battle! After discussing now, the generals and the generals finally gradually relaxed.
They are also full of confidence in tomorrow's battle.
Because now they are finally familiar with the tactics of the Tongzhou army opposite and have a solution.
Next, let’s see who will win tomorrow’s battle!…When it was dark, Marshal Jiang Yuxin on Hutou Peak realized that the enemy could not launch another attack.
So he immediately sent Shen Yaoguang back and asked her to return to Xiangyang City at night.
Shen Yaoguang brought back Marshal Jiang Yuxin's latest combat plan. As soon as she arrived in Xiangyang City, she immediately found Liu Ming, the commander of Xiangyang City, and quickly conveyed Marshal Jiang's orders to him.
...That night, both the Mongolian army and the Tongzhou army were waiting for the battle, and the two armies inside and outside the city were full of hope.
The most worrying thing here is Marshal Jiang Yuxin. For her, whether Qing Mulian’s reinforcements can arrive on time has become a key factor in determining life and death.
In Fancheng City, General Hai Mutang is counting the casualties and re-arranges Fancheng's defenses.
At this moment, a heavy haze was covered in her heart.
After today's battle, the number of deaths in the Huaixi New Army reached 375, and there were about 400 minor and serious injuries.
