The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 594 The situation is not optimistic

Jia Min believed the news without hesitation.

Defeating the Beihai Volunteers is currently the most important task of Song Kuan and even the Tianshun Dynasty. It is entirely possible for them to pay such a price.

"Jia Qiao, go back and tell Brigadier Chen and Jia to drive out the enemy and not accept surrender."

"Yes, Chief Min."

Jia Qiao agreed and left.

"Gao Dazhuang, go and tell the commanders of North Wendura and South Wendura to kill them all and not accept surrender. End the battle at Hongmiaozi as soon as possible, and rush to Liangshuihe to encircle the Hara people. There is no need to save ammunition , and wiped out all the Hara people."

"In addition, tell them to keep the captured food, bows and arrows and other weapons, and not destroy them."

"Yes, Chief Min."

After making arrangements, Jia Min got off his horse and walked on the snow while thinking about the current situation.

Although he had expected that Song Kuan and the Mogu people would collude before, this kind of collusion was beyond his expectation.

If the area other than the Great Wall is really allocated to the Mogu people, it will bring a huge disaster to Middle-earth.

Although it is possible to take it back in the future, during the period of being occupied by the Mogu people, tens of thousands of people there will suffer a huge disaster of losing their homes.

The farmland there will be turned into pastures by the Mog people, the houses will be burned down, and the people will become slaves of the Mog people.

Even if it is taken back in the future, it will be empty and desolate.

Disasters are not limited to these.

In terms of military affairs, both the imperial capital and the Central Plains will also lose important barriers and strategic depth.

As long as the Mogu people are willing, they can go south without hindrance at any time. No matter who is the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, they will face huge challenges, and the people will never have peace.

With the expansionist style of the Mogu people, they may not be satisfied with the territory beyond the Great Wall. Taking this opportunity to occupy the Central Plains may be their natural choice.

Jia Min walked all the way and returned to Hongshan.

When we arrived at Hongshan, the battle was still going on, and except for a few Mogu who broke out, most of the Mogu had been killed.Although they are still desperately resisting, these resistances are futile in the face of the firepower of the volunteers.

At 08:30, the Mog people organized the last charge. Thousands of people gathered together and desperately broke through despite the hail of bullets.In recent years, more than 2000 people have rushed out of the encirclement.

Jia Min ordered not to pursue, and the battle ended.

According to Jia Min's order, the troops began to clean up the battlefield and dig pits to bury the enemy's corpses.

In this battle, more than [-] Beihai Volunteers were also killed. However, compared with the enemy's battle damage, this number is very small.

Even so, Jia Min still felt very sorry.

These fighters were all brought out by him from Beihai, all of them were elites, and a lot of painstaking effort was spent on training them.It is simply impossible to replenish such fighters in a short period of time.

"How much ammunition do you have?"

What Jia Min is most concerned about now is the supply of ammunition.

"More than half of it has been consumed."

Wei Ruolan replied.

"It seems that after a while, we will go back to our old profession and fight head-to-head with the Mogu people. Let's go, let's go to Xishuitang."

Jia Min and Wei Ruolan arrived at Xishuitang, the battle here was over, except for a hundred people cleaning the battlefield here, the rest of the people had rushed to Liangshuihe.

Fortunately, the forage field armory here was not burned down, which made Jia Min heave a sigh of relief.

Jia Min ordered to guard the spoils carefully, and rushed to Liangshui River with Wei Ruolan.

When they arrived at Liangshuihe, the South and North Wendura cavalry had surrounded the Haras, and the two sides were fighting fiercely.Due to the superiority in numbers and the presence of firearms, the Wendura people have already gained a clear upper hand.

This time, Shaq and the others didn't go into battle in person, they were always on the sidelines directing.

Jia Min didn't intervene, and let them direct.At eleven o'clock in the noon, the Hara people saw that the situation was over, and began to break out of the siege, and finally 6000 people succeeded in breaking through.

The Wendura cavalry chased for a while, then withdrew, and the battle ended.

"Hey, Chief Min, I'm sorry, I made them run away a lot."

"It's okay, just run away. Clean up the battlefield, bring back all the useful things, and camp at Hongshan."

According to Jia Min's observation, the fighting power of the Hara people is not weak. They came for reinforcements temporarily, and they are fighting head-on with the Wendura people. Cavalry is against cavalry.

Jia Min is already very satisfied with the result.

The Mogu people left behind a lot of food, cattle and sheep. After the troops returned to Hongshan, they began to bury pots for cooking and slaughter cattle and sheep.

It's already afternoon, and the meals for this day are all eaten in one meal.

Although there is no wine, people are still very excited after winning the battle.

After dinner, Jia Min called a meeting of the officers. In addition to the senior officers, the regiment leaders Jia Qiang, Jia Yun, Jia Zhi, Chen Yetong, Huang Tianyun, and Shi Liu also attended the meeting.

Wei Ruolan reported the information obtained from Hauge to everyone, and everyone heard it, although they were angry, but they already knew that the Mogu people had colluded with Song Kuan, so they didn't feel anything strange.

After letting everyone discuss for a while, Jia Min began to speak.

"You fought very well in today's battle. It can be said that the result is brilliant. However, our current situation is not optimistic. And it will be even more severe in the future."

"Of course, we can withdraw our troops and return to Shengjing now, but in that case, we will lose an excellent opportunity. It will be very difficult to find such an opportunity in the future."

"Although we have wiped out 7 to [-] enemies this time, the Mogu people still have the strength to fight back. I decided to take advantage of the victory and pursue them. This time, we will completely defeat the Mogu people so that they will no longer have the strength to fight back."

"As long as we defeat the Mogu people, their conspiracy with Tianshun will go bankrupt. The remaining enemies are the enemies of San Francisco."

"Our current difficulty is the lack of ammunition supplies. It is impossible for Shengjing to supply us with supplies. After the current ammunition is exhausted, the third and fourth brigades will use the captured bows and arrows to fight against the Mogu people. Fight a cold war."

"Officer Min, even with bows and arrows, the Mogu people are no match for our army."

Shi Liu interjected.

"That's right, Chief Min, it's been a long time since I fought with the enemy, and my hands are really itchy."

Jia Yun also looked eager to try.

Jia Min ignored them and continued talking.

"After this battle, the enemy will be more vigilant. It will be very difficult to sneak attack like today. We came from a long distance and went deep alone. The Mogu people suffered a big loss today. They will definitely retaliate wildly. In the future, we will face more enemy."

"So, future battles will be even more difficult. We must be fully prepared, and we will also face a large number of casualties."

"However, as long as we win another battle of today's scale, the situation will be completely reversed, and we will take the initiative. I have an idea. We pretend that the supplies are insufficient, withdraw to Shengjing, lure the enemy to come to pursue, and then attack An ambush battle will establish the victory in one fell swoop."

"After you go back, think of a way to see how you can lure the enemy into being fooled."

This move was also Jia Min's last choice.

Currently they have been exposed on the Mogu Grassland.Now that the Mogu people have reached an agreement with the San Francisco, in order to fulfill their promise and revenge, they will not let them go easily.

However, in a real war, things will not be that simple.

Although Jia Min has won the first battle, time is on the side of the Mogu people.

It is almost impossible to think of such a large-scale attack on the enemy.Even if they find the Mogu people, as long as the Mogu people don't fight them head-on, but retreat immediately after a fight, or even retreat without a fight, and then keep harassing Jia Min, Jia Min can't afford it.

As time goes by, your own supplies will become less and less, and the morale of the soldiers will also become lower and lower.When you are weakest, if the enemy concentrates their forces and strikes with all their strength, you may be completely wiped out.

Once he and the Wendula cavalry were defeated, Chang'an would be vulnerable.

The situation of Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun will also be the same as that of Jia Min, becoming a lone army.After the ammunition is exhausted, facing the superior force of San Francisco, they will also be strangled to death.

Whether it is the San Francisco or the Mogu people, they can take advantage of the victory and pursue to regain the Northeast.If they wish, they can directly take the Wendula Grassland, and even the fundamental land of the North Sea will become someone else's pocket.

After everyone dispersed, only Jia Min and Wei Ruolan were left in the room.

"Chief of Staff Feng and Chief Trainer Chen don't know what happened?"

Wei Ruolan also showed worry.

He also understood the current situation.

The success or failure of the entire battle situation is actually tied to the victory or defeat of the Mogu Grassland.

If you lose here, you lose everything.If you win here, you will live the whole world.

"Although it is said that they are victorious, it is not so easy to fight. Although our firearms are sharp, there are too many enemies, the distance is far away, and the territory is vast. Not to mention fighting, just marching is a very hard work. So, they must be tough too. Victory is far from easy."

"How to lure the Mogu people to be fooled, does Chief Min have a plan?"

"Not yet, but there is a reason, we can take advantage of it."

"What reason?"

"We Han people value the New Year's reunion the most. If it is said that we withdraw our troops and go home to celebrate the New Year, maybe the Mogu people will believe it?"

"Officer Min is saying that he pretended to withdraw his troops and go home for the New Year, so as to attract the Mogu people to chase him?"

"I just thought this way just now. However, they won't be easily fooled, so they have to do enough tricks. We have just won now. If we retreat at this time, the Mogu people must be suspicious and will not come to catch up."

"You mean, we're going to attack the Mogu people, and after we can't find them, we'll pretend we don't have enough supplies, and we're going home for the New Year, luring them to come after them?"

"You can think about it along this path. In short, you have to pretend to be a little bit, so that they may be fooled."

"Where to ambush them?"

"At present, I haven't thought of a suitable place. There are no natural dangers to defend on the grassland. It is really not easy to find such a place. If it is not possible, we have to fight head-to-head with them on the grassland."

"In the past few days, I will send someone out to investigate carefully to see if it is a suitable place."

"After all, we are not familiar with this place, and we don't have a map. Let's go out and investigate slowly. There is no need to be in a hurry. Let's go back and rest."

"Officer Min, please rest earlier."

Wei Ruolan left, and Jia Min fell into deep thought again.

Now, he has some regrets.

If he had known that San Francisco was negotiating such a deal with the Mogu people, he would not have sent troops in such a hurry this time.

At least until the arsenal produced enough ammunition, it would be more appropriate to send troops to fight the Mogu.
