Chapter 2773: Fighting planes are fleeting like the wind, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent
Under the circumstances in front of him, the Tongzhou army is moving rapidly. Guo Dehai now has no time to consider what this thousand-layer cake-style formation will evolve into in the future.
So he had to adopt the most conservative and steadily approach, which was to stay where he was still and keep his troops on the same side as his father's Jiangnan camp.
After that, Guo Dehai immediately ordered the messenger to go back and report the enemy situation to Guo Baoyu, the commander in the Jiangnan camp.
At the same time, he led the three 10,000 teams and stared at the enemy's rapid blocking of the entire Han River passage.
So can Wu Chaoyang really seal this Han River channel with ten thousand people?
This involves a question of the number of people.
...The reason why Liu Lie had to shrink his defense in the face of the enemy's offensive was that his five thousand men were not enough to block the entire passage.
This left a gap for the Mongolian cavalry that could detour and back at any time.
Under this situation, Liu Lie is naturally extremely unfavorable.
However, when Wu Chaoyang's reinforcements arrived, a total of 10,000 infantrymen blocked the passage ten miles away (that is, 5 kilometers) and could easily do it.
Because the number of soldiers is enough to allow two Tongzhou infantrymen to stand at a distance of 5,000 meters on the cross section of the passage.
This gives them enough troops to cut off this passage with one knife! Of course, when really setting up defense, it is impossible to arrange soldiers one by one by one with their shoulders. It would be too stupid to arrange troops like that.
So after receiving Wu Chaoyang's order, the Fuzhou Army and the Shaoxing Army actually set up a defensive position with one thousand people per regiment, so that the passage was firmly blocked.
After the formation of the iron chain Hengjiang River was finally arranged, the two new troops formed by Tongzhou troops began to attack forward quickly!... At this time, Guo Baoyu also received a military report from his son, and then he was suddenly shocked! The encounter that happened just now could be said to be a coincidence, but when the enemy increased troops to the south again and opened up the stance to block his retreat.
This shows that the Tongzhou army has a great plan and may have wanted to annihilate him in one fell swoop! Guo Baoyu, who has been in the army for many years, is very clear that the current situation is that his Jiangnan camp's successive attacks were frustrated and his morale was discouraged.
However, the other party won consecutive victories today and received support from the rear reinforcements many times.
Therefore, in terms of morale, their Mongolian army was already at a disadvantage.
At the same time, the enemy continued to reinforce, making their ammunition and weapons more abundant.
However, the Jiangnan Camp on his side consumed ten thousand enemies in his hands due to attacking Hutou Peak for several days, and the consumption of feather arrows was also extremely amazing.
You should know that the most important weapon used by the Mongolian army to destroy the enemy is actually the feather arrow.
Compared with arrow branches, they used scimitar guns to kill less than one-fifth of the total number of enemies.
In this situation, if a war really breaks out, then the situation of Jiangnan Camp... Just as Guo Baoyu thought of this, he suddenly heard a sound of horse hooves like an angry tide in the direction of Hutou Peak! When he turned around and looked north, he saw cavalry gushing outwards like a torrent on the passages on both sides of Hutou Peak! The opponent's cavalry was obviously prepared and his actions were very decisive. He took the initiative to fight the Mongolian army as soon as he came up.
When Guo Baoyu saw the number of this cavalry, he knew that it was definitely more than the original 5,000 people, and the enemy was obviously reinforced! When Guo Baoyu thought of this, his ears also caught the gunshots and grenade explosions from the south.
This sound was astonishing as it sounded like a rainstorm, like the thunder that was rolling from afar from the sky.
At this time, Guo Baoyu suddenly realized that the Tongzhou Army... really wanted to attack his Jiangnan camp from north to south! At this moment, Guo Baoyu knew that he was facing an unprecedented crisis. Now, the north and south of this Jiangnan camp was facing the impact of the enemy infantry and cavalry at the same time.
It is two hours before dark, and the enemy's goal is clear and clear, which is to eliminate their Mongolian army! Thinking of this, Guo Baoyu gritted his teeth and began to think hard about how to break the enemy's attack tactics!... At this time, on the dock by the Han River in the north gate of Xiangyang.
More than ten small boats specially vacated were neatly arranged on the water surface. At this moment, an officer was commanding a brigade of civilians to carry things to the boat.
I saw this man with a fierce murderous aura on his body, wearing black armor, which made him look thin and his back, as if this armor was born as a part of his body.
When he lowered his head and issued the order, his voice was low and powerful.
No matter who looks at him for the first time, he will feel like a sharp blade that is unsheathed, which makes people dare not even approach this guy with a solemn aura. He is the Marine Corps officer Song Jie.
If you still remember this Song Jie, he was the young officer who Shen Mo wiped out the Mongolian army's Zalar four years ago and once fought with the Mongolian army scouts in a bloody night.
He was originally from Tongzhou, and after joining Shi Baoying's navy, he became an officer in the Marine Corps.
After that, he made military achievements in the last battle.
He was promoted to a commander by commander Shen Mo on the front line.
After entering the special operations camp for a while in the past few years, Song Jie stood out in the assessment and showed extraordinary tactical attainments, so he got the opportunity to study at Chongming Island Military Academy.
It happened that when Marshal Jiang led the 5,000 Hurricane Battalion to Xiangyang this time, Marshal Jiang was probably likely to fight on the water because the Han River was surrounded by Fancheng, Marshal Jiang was probably very likely to fight on the water.
So when she led the team to set off, she looked for officers with experience in water warfare in the training camp on Chongming Island in case of emergency.
In this way, Song Jie, who had fought in the Marine Corps, was naturally picked out and brought to Xiangyang.
...In today's battle, the Hurricane Battalion's mission is to block the Han River waterways to prevent Guo Baoyu's remnants from crossing the river and escaping.
In this case, this hurricane camp would take a boat down the Han River.
At that time, they will be the central army of the Mongolian Marshal Tolei on one side, and on the other side will be Guo Baoyu's Jiangnan Camp, so this fleet can only operate in the heart of the Han River.
Under such circumstances, Marshal Jiang was worried that the commander of the Hurricane Battalion, Yelu Hua, would have insufficient experience during the water battle.
So Lieutenant Colonel Song Jie was directly appointed as the temporary commander of the Five Horoscope Battalion.
