Chapter 2187 besieging the city to help
When Ning Sui heard the sound of killing sounds everywhere, his heart suddenly felt cold and he secretly shouted "Not good".
In fact, the army Ning Sui was stationed in Sifeng Mountain, which was already a clear card. With the infiltration and reconnaissance capabilities of the Wei army's scouts, it is impossible not to know the existence of this army.
Then when the Wei army attacked Xiling, how could it not consider the reinforcements of the reserve team of Sifeng Mountain? Therefore, the situation of interception in the middle is completely common sense.
Ning Sui also considered the emergency rescue matter, but did not consider the possible blockade of the Wei army on the way. As a result, he was suddenly intercepted by the Wei army after just halfway.
At this time, the Pinghu Camp of the Marine Corps was ordered to block the reinforcements of the Shu army. They had already landed in this area in advance and were prepared for the blocking based on the terrain. When the Shu army rushed over, the Pinghu Captain Qian Jin immediately led his army out and blocked Ning Sui's men and horses halfway.
This blocking battle was completely arranged by Cao Liang and Wang Jun's plan. Jiang Wei stationed Ning Sui's 10,000 troops in Sifeng Mountain. The purpose is obvious. If the pavilion is in a hurry, Ning Sui can provide reinforcements at any time. If there is something wrong with Xiling, Ning Sui can also return to Xiling urgently.
Ning Sui's ten thousand people in Sifeng Mountain are completely the role of the reserve team, wherever there is an emergency situation.
This time, Cao Liang was preparing to use the naval marines to launch a surprise attack on Xiling City. First of all, he had to fully consider the deployment of the Shu army. How many Shu troops are stationed in Xiling? For example, after the battle begins, how many troops can reinforce Xiling in a short period of time?
These issues are issues that Cao Liang must give priority to.
According to the current situation, the main force of the Shu army was basically restrained by the Wei army in the areas of Qianting Mountain, Huya Mountain and Ma'anshan, and the maximum number of defenders in Xiling City was only 10,000.
Once Xiling City is attacked, the Shu army in Qiting Mountain and Huya Mountain will definitely not be able to move. They are now trapped in a fierce battle with the Wei army and are unable to do anything.
Only the situation on Ma'anshan is slightly better. Although the Wei and Shu armies were confronting each other, there was no conflict yet. Shu general Luo Xian is likely to draw out some of his troops to return to Xiling.
In order to restrain the Shu army in Ma'anshan, Cao Liang had already issued an order to Qian Hong in advance, asking him to lead his army from Xingshan to Ma'anshan. Although there is no need to have a head-on confrontation with the defenders in Ma'anshan, it is also necessary to send some small number of troops to conduct roundabout battles from the flanks.
Qian Hong's combat mission this time was not to take down Ma'anshan, but to disturb the enemy in Ma'anshan, making him afraid to return to Xiling easily, so that the purpose of weakening the Xiling defenders could be achieved.
After restraining the Shu army of Qiting Mountain, Huya Mountain and Ma'anshan, Xiling City had no reinforcements except the reserve team from Sifeng Mountain. This was very sure that the navy and marines would take Xiling.
As for the reserve team of Sifeng Mountain, Cao Liang would not let them return to Xiling easily. You should know that this time, Cao Liang arranged for the two battalions of the Navy and Marine Corps Pingjiang Camp and Pinghu Camp to participate in the battle. Pingjiang Camp will take on the task of attacking Xiling City, and Pinghu Camp will take on the task of blocking the aid.
Siege the city and attack aid have always been a common method used by Cao Liang during wartime. He must be rescued when attacking him. Once Xiling is attacked, the Shu army in Sifeng Mountain will definitely carry out rescue at all costs. Cao Liang arranged for Pinghu Camp to set up an ambush on the necessary road from Sifeng Mountain to Xiling City, but not just to block this Shu army, but to let Pinghu Camp open a hole and eat this Shu army in one fell swoop.
As long as this Shu army is destroyed, the Xiling defenders will inevitably fall into panic, because apart from this reinforcement army, there is no force around Xiling City that can carry out rescue efforts, and the Pinghu Camp of the Wei army can also free up their hands to attack Xiling City from the flanks, cooperate with Pingjiang Camp to take down Xiling City.
In response to Cao Liang's plan, Wang Jun quickly formulated a deployment plan. While Pingjiang Camp launched an attack on Xiling City, hundreds of warships loaded with Pinghu Camp Marines landed in Baisha Tsui, twenty miles east of Xiling.
Since the Wei army scouts had already conducted reconnaissance on this area in advance and did not find any garrisons of the Shu army here, even if Pinghu Camp did not have the cover of the battleships, it could easily complete the landing in Baisha Tsui.
After the Pinghu Camp landed, it was ambushed on the only way to Sifeng Mountain to Xiling. Once the Shu army entered the ambush circle, the Pinghu Camp would take decisive action and annihilate it in one fell swoop.
The Shu army in Sifeng Mountain is not too many, but there are exactly 10,000 people. The troops in Hepinghu Camp are equal, so this contest is also a test for Pinghu Camp.
To be honest, Pinghu Camp is like Pingjiang Camp, both of the two troops in the Marine Corps sequence. If you are equipped with ordnance, there is not much difference between Pinghu Camp and the field infantry battalions of the Wei Army. In terms of individual weapons and equipment, it is almost the same. If it is a little lacking, that is, Pinghu Camp does not have heavy equipment such as catapults and crossbow siege cars.
These heavy equipment were basically used during the siege. This time, Pinghu Camp was unable to use these heavy weapons at all when fighting an ambush in Baisha Tsui. Excellent individual weapons were enough to support them.
What Pinghu Camp really lacks is probably only combat experience. Like Pingjiang Camp, Pinghu Camp has not experienced the baptism of actual combat after its establishment.
His training is very hard-working. Wang Jun is very tightly responsible for the navy and Marine Corps. Even if he is in the navy's new creation, he has to deal with all the things. However, whenever he has a vacancy, he will personally supervise the training of Pingjiang Camp and Pinghu Camp, with strict requirements and meticulousness.
Although Wang Jun is the governor of the navy, he was born in Changshui Camp, a typical land combat force. Therefore, when Wang Jun was practicing Pingjiang Camp, he was not unfamiliar with Pinghu Camp. Apart from water combat, the rest of the land combat was essentially no different from the field infantry camp. Wang Jun would not make any major mistakes in managing Pingjiang Pinghu Camp when he had previously managed Changshui Camp.
However, training and actual combat are still different. This Baisha Tsui ambush battle is both an opportunity and a challenge for Pinghu Captain Qian Jin.
