A bad one will not only fail to rescue more than 10,000 soldiers who were attacked in Nanjing, but also sink reinforcements.
Listening to the continuous explosion of flowering bombs outside the city, the company commanders around the Ministry of War are silent after only a short shock.
A few company commanders can ignore more than 10 thousand new army soldiers outside the city, but the Ministry of War, commander-in-chief of all guarding city forces in Nanjing, has no way to watch more than 10 thousand new army elites be eliminated
Because once these troops are destroyed, the strength of the garrison troops in Nanjing will suffer more than the influence on the defense of Nanjing and the safety of Nanjing.
So when all the ministries were silent, the Ministry of War still had to say, "You are all deaf and dumb … but who said that outside the city is a bunch of butch and leopard guerrillas with no fighting capacity? Who can tell the officer what the gun is about …"
When asked by the Ministry of War, a company commander had to say, "My Lord … it is now certain that the enemy hiding outside the city is not guerrillas, but the elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army … Only the elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army can be equipped with such a large number of artillery … Besides, the total strength of this elite Tiger and Leopard Army should exceed 30,000 …"
War-hardened veteran, several of his company commanders really have a judgment in their hearts.
As soon as this sentence was said, several of his company commanders nodded in approval.
In the face of this situation, the Ministry of War has not changed much, but the tension has calmed down a lot.
After all, I now know my opponent’s true identity and approximate strength.
After some meditation, he said decisively …
"Officer now, no matter how many butch troops are outside the city, how did they touch our home front officer? There is a requirement for the horse to find a way to rescue more than 10,000 elites who are being attacked by butch troops …"
Even though I know that going out of the city is likely to be a death, since the Ministry of War has ordered a number of ministries, I can still rack my brains to think about ways to break the enemy …
In the face of the fact that the Ministry of War is still urging a way that is not the way, it is directly thought out by everyone.
Compared with the Tiger and Leopard Army outside the city, an important advantage of Nanjing defenders is the military advantage … Of course, this so-called military advantage is calculated by more than 10,000 soldiers who are being attacked outside the city.
Since the strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army is not equal to its own, it will send more reinforcements than the Tiger and Leopard Army to force the Tiger and Leopard Army to withdraw from the battlefield … Otherwise, the Tiger and Leopard Army, which is fighting, will have to be surrounded by the reinforcements of the new imperial army out of the city.
However, in this way, the Ministry of War has to give up the three roads outside the city to attack the troops all the way
Because there are more than 30 thousand defenders left in Nanjing, the Ministry of War can still send up to 20 thousand people
There is nothing wrong with the idea of these company commanders. If there were no cavalry divisions, Wang Feng, a new army of 20,000 imperial courts who suddenly joined the battlefield, would really have a way out of the battlefield.
After all, there are 7,000 soldiers in each battlefield …
In addition to the advantages of artillery fire and musket range, he can’t compare with the new imperial army …
If you really fight the imperial army here, even if you win, you will pay a very heavy price.
But in addition to three musketeers, Wang Feng has a cavalry division with strong fighting capacity …
Even if a cavalry division can’t stop the 20 thousand imperial army from delaying them, there is still no problem
If the cavalry division can hold them off, Wang Feng will sometimes destroy fifteen thousand new imperial troops and come back to pick up the reinforcements sent by the imperial court.
Chapter nine hundred and twenty-six Big appetite?
It takes an hour less for the new imperial army to March on two legs.
But it’s less than half an hour for the tiger and leopard cavalry to March on four legs of a war horse.
The reinforcements discharged by the imperial court had just left Nanjing less than five miles away and twenty miles away when Wang Feng received the news that the imperial new army of twenty thousand troops was coming.
When I first heard the news, Wang Feng was directly shocked by the figure of 20 thousand
Because at this moment, the limited forces have been sent out and are fighting with more than 10 thousand imperial army
Once the 20,000 imperial army appeared in two of the three battlefields, the tiger and leopard army had to face the risk of withdrawing troops in a hurry to avoid being divided and surrounded by the imperial army reinforcements.
However, this concern did not last long, and Wang Feng’s face showed a thick and hot expression.
Because he remembered the cavalry division, at the same time, a very bold idea came to Wang Feng’s mind …
After taking a deep breath, he decided very decisively, "Since the Nanjing garrison sent such a big fighter plane to the front of the general, it would be too sorry if you don’t grasp it. The Nanjing garrison is sincere …"
"The 1st and 2nd regiments of the Cavalry Division will be ordered to give twenty thousand reinforcements that will hold Nanjing out … No matter how much it costs, the twenty thousand imperial army must be dragged to the battlefield and the southern capital for two hours …"
As soon as the commander of the cavalry division left the commander, Wang Feng’s order rang again …
"The first and second two horses are at war, and the battle against the five thousand imperial army will be ordered to end in an hour …"
"Don’t clean up the battlefield after the battle and quickly reinforce the two cavalry regiments …"
"Since the defenders of Nanjing dare to send so many reinforcements, they will have a big game with them to eat these 20 thousand reinforcements."
Compared with Wang Feng’s face of heroism, the two heads of the cavalry division received orders, but they frowned and worried …
Because the battle is about to start, the disparity between the enemy and the enemy is too great.
More importantly, compared with the equipment of the imperial new army, the Tiger and Leopard cavalry have no advantage in equipped with short-tube muskets.
A bad cavalry regiment with less than two thousand cavalry will be consumed here.
"The head of the enemy has 10,000 new army muskets and grenades, and they are all equipped with red cannons … which are absolutely far more than what we absolutely can’t recklessly fight with them, otherwise there is no difference between them and dying …" A battalion commander with a frown in front of him analyzed with a serious face.
Of course, the colonel knows these gaps, and it is because he knows these gaps that he doesn’t know how to fight this battle well and calls all battalion commanders together to think about solutions.
After talking to the battalion commander with the wave, he said eagerly, "You said we all know … if it weren’t for my analysis, it would be the solution …"
After a short silence, the artillery company commander of more than a dozen departments suddenly said, "Colonel … the imperial army is equipped with red cannons. Although it is very powerful, it has a weakness that it is too heavy …"
"Even if you are attacked in the process of marching, you will not stop to set up artillery to fight back … because it is absolutely impossible for a heavy red cannon to set up artillery to March again without less than half an hour …"
"Since the enemy won’t move the red cannon, it is absolutely heavy firepower for us to equip mortars … do you think we can attack them with mortars from a long distance …"
"If they send troops to fight back, our cavalry regiment can destroy them, and the counter-attack troops will kill their effective forces as much as possible …"
"If they don’t March forward regardless of casualties, then we can think of other ways … if we can’t cover them with artillery fire and slow down their March …"
After some meditation, the colonel decisively decided, "Let’s give it a try first … I hope the enemy can be the enemy or the men will be able to hit the enemy’s gun …"
Accompanied by a series of screams, more than a dozen flowering bombs hit the crowded marching queues of the new army in the imperial court as if they had eyes.
Dozens of new army soldiers were undoubtedly blown to the ground when the flowering bomb exploded.
However, the new army, a veteran of the battlefield, is still very quick to respond
In the area covered by flowering bombs, thousands of new army soldiers were led by their officers and quickly dispersed to both sides of the road before the second round of flowering bombs fell …
The second round of flowering bombs only caused less than 30 casualties to the new army
However, even so, more than a dozen mortars continue to fire flowering bombs at the official road.
In the face of sudden artillery fire, the company commanders of the new army directly showed a dignified expression.
However, when he saw that he had attacked himself with a bullet, his face became dignified and his expression gradually relaxed.
Because in front of me, I told myself directly that the number of tiger and leopard troops attacking me was not large, and they also had one goal, that is, to slow down their own reinforcement of the battlefield.
Faced with this situation, the company commander’s first reaction was to destroy this tiger and leopard army that harassed him, and then reinforce the battlefield as soon as possible. Otherwise, 10,000 soldiers will be exposed to the artillery attack of the tiger and leopard army during the whole March …
