Chapter 61 Soldiers approaching the city!

"Captain, what do you mean?"

Tono Taro said with a solemn expression.

"The head of the brigade dispatched troops to reinforce our troops, which is a full strength of an infantry brigade."

Pointing to the map, Sakata Nobuzaki's eyes flickered with cunning, and said: "Xu Rui's troops will most likely approach the city before 01:30 in the morning.".

"And when the time comes, it is bound to attack my imperial army defending the city!"

After a pause, he continued: "Heyuan County is not big, it is not small.".

"With our current strength, if we all go up to the top of the city to defend the city, it will be extremely scattered. Therefore, after the enemy troops approach the city, we abandon the defense of the city and the gate, and let the enemy troops commanded by Xu Rui enter the city. , Fight them in the streets, hold them back."

Speaking of this, Tokino Taro, the chief of staff, immediately guessed what Sakata Shinzuri's plan was.

"The captain means that when the reinforcements arrive, they will attack the enemy internally and externally?"

Tokino Taro clapped his hands and said.

"Yoxi, Mr. Duye, you guessed right!"

Sakata Nobuzaki sneered and said with a sneer: "When we drag the main force of the enemy army inside the city and the reinforcements arrive, we will attack at the best time to attack, and we will be able to catch Xu Rui by surprise."

"Xu Rui didn't expect that I, Nobuzaki Sakata, would take the initiative to ask the brigade department for reinforcements!"

Duye Taro nodded, flattered and said: "The joint captain's plan is too good. If it succeeds, he may be able to eat the siege troops commanded by Xu Rui.".

"Perhaps, Xu Rui can be captured alive in the future!"

Nobuzaki Sakata is not very 100% sure, but said: "Of course I hope so, but it's hard to say.".

"United Captain!"

At this moment, a ghost staff officer hurried up to Sakata Nobuzaki and Tono Taro, bowed his head and saluted, "Chief of Staff, there are soldiers who have escaped from Wanjia Town.".

"Wanjia Town has fallen, and a battalion of the enemy army that attacked Wanjia Town has already detoured from Wanjia Town overnight and surrounded Heyuan County."

Sakata Shinzoriki and Tono Taro looked at each other upon hearing this.

Afterwards, the two old devils stared at the map at the same time.

"Captain, the enemy army is very fast!"

Duye Taro pointed to the map on the table, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said: "It seems that Xu Rui is really going to attack my Heyuan County.".

"Soldiers come to cover the water and soil, let's see if Xu Rui can take Heyuan County and eat us before the imperial reinforcements arrive!"

Sakata Nobuzaki said with a sneer.

"The captain said yes!"

Duye Taro nodded, but also straightened his expression, and then said emphatically.

After Sakata Nobuzaki received a telegram from the [-]th Brigade Headquarters to send reinforcements, he continued to pay attention to a large number of city defense fortifications in Heyuan County with sufficient confidence, and prepared to have a good fight with the attacking troops commanded by Xu Rui in Heyuan County.

Time is also constantly passing away.

When the time came to less than 8 minutes after one o'clock in the morning, the devil garrison in Heyuan County, who was waiting in full battle, soon heard the sound of horseshoes outside the city.

Moreover, there was a large number of hoofbeats, indicating that a large-scale cavalry unit had already arrived outside the east gate city.

Soon, Sakata Nobuzaki, who got the news in the command room of the regiment headquarters, and the chief of staff, Major Tono Taro, and several devil officers rushed to the top of the east gate of Heyuan County.

It was early morning at night, Sakata Nobuzaki and other devil officers standing on the top of the east gate were constantly chilled by the night wind, and their bodies were shivering from time to time.

"Captain, under the darkness of night, the cavalry troops outside the city must have captured the 500rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army with more than 303 horses in the hands of He Qiyue, the commander of the cavalry battalion of the Huangxie Army in Wanjia Town."

After listening to the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the city for a while, the chief of staff of the Sakata Alliance, Major Duno Taro, said to Nobuo Sakata: "It seems that it should be the newly formed 303rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who participated in the ambush of the Miyato Brigade. The cavalry."

"This should be the cavalry unit sent by Xu Rui to enter Heyuan County first! Captain, the enemy's infantry should still be behind, at least until 01:30, they will not appear outside the city."

After a pause, Duye Taro continued to say to Sakata Nobuzaki: "Captain, do you want to send troops out of the city to fight the enemy's cavalry who arrived outside the east gate first?".

"Mr. Du Ye, it is too difficult and risky to go out of the city to fight the enemy's cavalry in the dark."

Sakata Shinzo thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Even if you go out of the city, the enemy cavalry doesn't want to fight our infantry, so you can leave on horseback at any time.".

"What's more, the opponent is a four-legged cavalry. The ones we sent out to attack are all infantry, so there is no way to fight against them."

Hearing this, Duye Taro also laughed at himself, and said with a wry smile: "What the captain said is that I forgot about this situation.".

"What should we do now?"

Nobuzo Sakata was under the night and couldn't see the enemy cavalry less than a hundred meters away from the city. After pondering for a while, he said, "Xu Rui should not be underestimated. He sent cavalry to Heyuan County first to hold us back. ".

"Fortunately, we are also here to hold back the enemy's main force. Order the guards at all gates. Once the enemy infantry appears, once they attack the city, abandon the gates at the top of the city and shrink back to the pre-built positions in the city. To block."

After a pause, Sakata Shinzo continued to say to Tono Taro: "Use the latest secret code we communicated with the brigade headquarters to contact the [-]st Infantry Battalion of the Heavy Rattan Regiment for reinforcements, and let them go north as soon as possible to Heyuan County. outside.".

"Yes, Captain."

Tokino Taro paused heavily.

"Um!!"

Nobushin Sakata said a word, and then stared at the position of the enemy cavalry that could not be seen in the night outside the east gate for a while. After seeing the enemy cavalry, he returned to the temporary regiment headquarters in the city depressed. inside.

At this time, Zhu Ming, the battalion commander of the 303th Cavalry Battalion of the 15rd Regiment of the Jinsui Army who arrived outside the east gate of Heyuan County ahead of the infantry, commanded the cavalry battalion to arrive outside the east gate of Heyuan County. I looked at the east gate for a while.

"Ma De, the little devil closed the city gate, and there don't seem to be many defenders at the top of the city!"

Zhu Ming hid in the night and observed the sidewalk for a while.

"Commander, what should we do now?"

He Chuan, deputy battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, asked in a low voice.

"Let each company divide its troops and guard the four gates of Heyuan County."

Zhu Ming said directly, "Wait until the main force of the infantry commanded by the regiment arrives, and then attack the city. Otherwise, even if we dismount as infantry and attack the city, a battalion of more than 500 brothers will not be able to defeat Heyuan County!"

"understand!"

He Chuan, the deputy battalion commander of the cavalry battalion, also felt that Zhu Ming was right, and immediately went down to arrange for the division of each company under the cavalry battalion, and guarded the four gates of Heyuan County to prevent the devils in the city from leaving the city and retreating.

It wasn't until 37:[-] in the morning that Xu Rui commanded the third battalion to rush outside the east gate of Heyuan County, where he would join the first battalion who rushed to Heyuan County and the cavalry battalion of Zhu Ming's troops who arrived first.

Of course, Liu Shuoming, the second battalion, also rushed outside the east gate of Heyuan County after the first battalion rushed outside the city of Heyuan County.

So far, the first battalion, second battalion, and third battalion of the 303 regiment under Xu Rui's command post, the newly formed 15th cavalry battalion, artillery company and other departments, with a total of more than [-] troops, approached outside the city of Heyuan County.
