Chapter 76
Ever since the entire Daye City was surrounded, Ning Yu had been standing behind the front-line bunker, watching the bloody battle at the top of the city for several hours with no expression on his face. A large number of troops, if it is a refueling tactic, the casualties will be too large, so Ning Yu finally chose Mingjin to withdraw troops,
It is impossible to capture Daye in one go today, and there is no need, let the group come down and rest.

Ning Yu told herself in her heart, it was just the breath in her heart, but it was always stuck in her throat.

Dong Ce walked over with a murderous spirit, and in the final stage of the fight, he almost went to the top of the city himself, but was stopped by his personal guards, and now he is off the battlefield with a heavy expression on his face.

"Report to the privy envoy that the first regiment was lucky enough to kill and wound more than a thousand Daye defenders, and has forced them into the city. They will go down the city if they ascend first tomorrow!" Having said this, Dong Ce's face was a little gloomy, " Our regiment had 480 casualties, all of whom were lost on the top of the city.”

The officers on the side gasped, and almost the entire battalion was reimbursed like this.

Ning Yu's face twitched slightly, and after taking a deep look at Daye County, he said in a concentrated voice: "A group will be repaired tomorrow, and Daye County will not be attacked for the time being."

Dong Ce's face turned red. He was usually calm, but now he was a little impulsive, "Let my people continue to go up tomorrow. Tomorrow, I can take Daye City tomorrow!"

Dong Ce couldn't bear Daye City to continue to stand in front of him, because as soon as he closed his eyes, he could think of those brothers who were bloody with him, many of them were Brother Paoze who came out of the Young Eagle Camp.

"Private envoy, please. Tomorrow, let me lead someone to rush in person, just once. If Daye is not captured by then, my brother and I will stay on the top of the city!"

Dong Ce, who has always been known for his toughness, couldn't help but have red eye circles, with pleading in his eyes.

Ning Yu waved his hand very bluntly, "If you take Daye down now, what will happen if those Qing troops in Huangzhou Prefecture who came out with great difficulty retreat back? I don't have time to waste time with them in Huangzhou Prefecture now!"

Under Ning Yu's strict order, the entire Daye City was surrounded, but they did not launch a major offensive like the first day. They just bombarded the city wall with artillery every day to keep the opponent from resting.

After a few days like this, Ning Yu finally got the news that the Qing army in Huangzhou Mansion had begun to change, and it was suspected that they were coming in the direction of Daye.

In fact, Zheng Rong, the capital of the Huangzhou Association, hesitated whether to go after receiving the message from Xu Mingyuan for help. After all, for him, cross-border counter-insurgency also had to bear risks, but he kept getting news that the main force of the entire rebel army When they were all dragged under Daye City, my heart began to itch.

You must know that if you can suppress the rebel army, it will be a great contribution. I dare not say that it is a knighthood, but it is not too easy to raise a flag and be promoted to an official.Especially at this time, there are nearly 3000 Qing troops in Daye City. Although the combat power is not very good, it should not be a big problem to stick to the city. When the [-] people of my own arrive and attack, the enemy will easily collapse without fighting. It's almost a low-hanging fruit.

Thinking of this, Zheng Rong sent orders to Qizhou Camp and Taoist Wei Camp under his command to prepare the military supplies and supplies for the next few days, and planned to make a quick march and surprise attack, but what he didn't expect was that the current Daye City was on the verge of collapse, almost It was about to fall, if Ning Yu hadn't deliberately kept Daye City to attract him, he might have gone down to the city already.

According to Zheng Rong's current judgment, there are at least 3000 Qing troops in Daye City. If they can cooperate internally and externally, it is not unimaginable to defeat the rebels.It was precisely because of this consideration that Zheng Rong finally chose to send troops to rescue.

In today's Huangzhou Prefecture, the Qizhou Camp and the Taoist Battalion belong to the Qing Army of the Green Camp under the Huangzhou Association. The main goal of breaking through Huangzhou Mansion.

Just as the Huangzhou Association set off, the shadow ambushing in Qizhou City also passed on the news. After some transmission, Ning Yu also learned the news.

According to Shadow's estimate, at the earliest tomorrow afternoon and at the latest at noon the next day, the 3000 troops of the Huangzhou Association will reach the edge of the battlefield. This news greatly inspired Ning Yu, who had already seen the dawn of victory.

"Order Wuchang, the Second Division can attack Huanggang, Macheng, and Huang'an from south to north tomorrow, wipe out the remaining Qing troops, and occupy Huangzhou Prefecture."

Cheng Zhien, chief of staff of the division, was in a rather complicated mood at this time, and his views on Ning Yu gradually became admirable. The difficulty of this battle was not how to take down Huangzhou Mansion, but how to gather and annihilate Huangzhou Association. If Huangzhou Association was allowed to escape If you go out, there will be no peace in the whole east.

Thinking of this moment, Cheng Zhi'en said softly: "Privy envoy, Daye is surrounded by groups, and the most important thing is to eliminate the Huangzhou Association who came to help, but let the second group get ready?"

Ning Yu's fingers ran down the sand table all the way. There was a hilly terrain between Daye and Taoist Wei, and there was only one village called Xiaoshi Village, which occupied a favorable terrain.

"Give me an order that the fifth and sixth battalions must arrive at Xiaoshi Village before noon tomorrow to set up a position and prepare to meet the enemy."

The smile on Ning Yu's face became more and more intense, and his finger continued to swipe across Qizhou, and then across Qichun.

"Order the Seventh Battalion and Eighth Battalion to bypass Daye Lake and go straight to Qizhou, and then return to Weiyuankou to completely wipe out the Huangzhou Association."

Looking at the lines drawn by Ning Yu's fingers on the sand table, Cheng Zhien couldn't help but nodded secretly, and then added: "Then the fifth battalion and the sixth battalion have a total of 200 troops, and they will face the impact of the entire Huangzhou Association immediately. Allocate more artillery, it will be more sure."

Ning Yu thought for a while, and said: "Let the artillerymen directly under the division dispatch eight six-pound cannons to go there, but there is no need for twelve-pound cannons. We must try our best to ensure that the troops arrive at Xiaoshi Village in advance, otherwise they will be defenseless in the wild and difficult to resist."

Looking at Ning Yu who was in high spirits at this time, Cheng Zhien nodded secretly in his heart, but he was completely convinced in his heart.

A young man under the age of 20 did not go his own way when making a plan. On the contrary, he can fully learn and accept external opinions. The future is promising.To some extent, Cheng Zhien was the representative of the Cheng family in the First Division, not only to support the military, but also to observe the future successor of this big faction.After all, the original Ning Yu only convinced the inside of the Ning family, but he didn't have much prestige in the Cheng and Zheng families.

Ning Yu looked at Daye City with a complicated expression. Today's regiment urgently needs a big victory to boost morale, but he is not willing to let the regiment sacrifice their lives in vain. The best way is to wait until the Huangzhou Association is defeated and directly Force Daye City to surrender, thereby reducing casualties.
