Faced with the current situation, Ni Liang made a judgment that the battle had been fully launched according to Your Majesty's plan. The enemy troops in Xuzhou and Yingtian Prefecture have been successfully transferred out, the Second Army has completed the attack on Fu Li, and Zhao Mengjin has led his troops back to take advantage of the situation to attack Xuzhou. The key to this is to attack aid, that is, encircling and annihilation of the two enemy troops of the enemy became the key to the entire battle, so that His Majesty's strategic goal of capturing both capitals and severely damaging the enemy's Central Plains garrison.

Ni Liang clearly realized that he wanted to annihilate the Tiemai Chi tribes surrounded by Jiagou as soon as possible, and then quickly support the fifth brigade of Liuzi Town, thereby laying the foundation for the victory of Xuzhou and Fuli. At present, his side seemed to have an advantage on the battlefield, but the troops on both sides were equal, but the battlefield was narrow and it was difficult to expand. It was still difficult to annihilate the enemy in a short period of time.

"DuShip, the enemy's offensive is very fierce, and it does not care about casualties at all. If you attack the enemy at this time and fight closely together, it will cause large casualties and will not be conducive to future battles. Therefore, I think we should carry forward the advantages of our arms, take advantage of the enemy's eagerness to break through, and then launch a major blow to the attack!" After Ni Liang explained the current situation, Tian Zhong thought about it and said first.

"Tong Tian said it is reasonable. Nanshankou is only a little wide, so it is difficult to use the linear tactics we often use. We can only use small team commandos. Once we are attacked by enemy cavalry, we cannot avoid it, and we cannot carry forward the advantages of firearms. We can only fight against the enemy." Li Zhen nodded and agreed with his opinion.

"Yes, my troops wanted to divide the enemy's troops several times, but the attack surface was too narrow, and the brigade was unable to deploy its formation. The brigade's assault was squeezed out by the enemy. This was not like a war, but like a fight. The two sides were stirred up together, and they could not use their swords and guns. They all used their fists and fought each other!" Sun Jin also said with a wry smile.

"Then is there no way?" Ni Liang slapped the table and said, "Anyway, no matter what method you use, I must unleash the deadlock. The trapped enemy must be wiped out within three days!"

"Du Shuai means not to force everyone to fight hard with the enemy at all costs, but to have a strategy. Facing the attack head-on cannot be done. You can detour from the flanks, you can raid in the dark of the night, or take advantage of the fire to rob..." Xiao Ting was worried about these misunderstandings, so he turned to another extreme and quickly explained, "Du Shuai is anxious. According to the news sent back by the scouts, the Fifth Brigade, the Cavalry Brigade and the Artillery Brigade took action in Liuzi Town, cutting off the retreat of 60,000 enemy troops in the Tutuhaha. Their strength is several times different from the enemy, and the pressure is very high. Therefore, we must resolve the battle as soon as possible and transfer the battlefield to support the Fifth Brigade!"

"There has been a fight over there? Then we have to speed up, otherwise once Sun Datong can't stand it and the enemy retreats to Yingtian Mansion, we will be in vain for these days!" Tian Zhong said after hearing this.

"Tong Tian Dutong, I thought your hole could be loosened and re-arranged the defense line in the valley on your way back, so that the enemy's formation would be loose, thus opening up the distance, making it easier to intersperse and divide the enemy, and taking the opportunity to chase and kill and speed up the battle process." Li Ting suggested at this time.

"It's not appropriate. The north entrance is already wide. Once the opening is loosened, the enemy troops who are eager to break through will pour out like a flood, breaking down the subsequent defense line, and it will be difficult to block it. On the contrary, the south entrance is narrow, and the enemy's troops cannot be deployed, so they can only go out in sequence, or they are eager to run and step on each other, or even fight each other for the road to seize the road!" Tian Zhong shook his head, thinking that his proposal was not operable.

"Although the south entrance is narrow, there is no danger when you leave the mountain entrance and go straight to the plain. We have no cavalry assistance, so we can't catch up even if we want to chase him!" Li Ting shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, and saw Sun Jin laughing unsatisfiedly, "What are you laughing at? We are not ruling each other, but starting from the facts of the battle!"

"I laughed at you two that you still haven't understood the direction of the enemy's breakout, so they arranged randomly!" Sun Jin teased indifferently.

"It seems that you have already understood the overall situation and will help us solve our doubts!" ​​Li Ting was not annoyed by him, but instead asked for advice with a smile, but no one could see that his face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, please give me advice from President Sun!" Tian Zhong also said in cooperation.

"Then..." Sun Jin hesitated for a moment. Fortunately, Li Ting was from the old camp as he was, but Tian Zhong was their senior. He served as the head of the capital when the Kaiwei Battalion was established, and he had much more qualifications than him, so he was still a little afraid.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think!" Sun Jin glanced at Ni Liang, and saw him raise his hand to signal him that he said, and said, "At present, the enemy attacked both mountain passes, and it seemed to be about to break through on both sides. There was no clear direction, but after closer inspection, there was still a difference. The enemy attacking the North Pass was always fierce, as if to open up a path to return to Xuzhou, but their attack tactics were single and they were weak in succession. They often opened a breakthrough after paying major casualties, but because of insufficient subsequent troops, they were driven out."

"Well, what you said makes sense, but the enemy opened the breakthrough but could not expand. Why was it not because our troops responded in time to close the gap?" Tian Zhong interrupted and asked back.

"Tong Tian asked well. We all know that the enemy often uses cavalry to fight. Even if we take a step back, the enemy is difficult to unfold due to terrain restrictions. But why don't they use cavalry to expand their results in time after opening the breakthrough, but instead watch the breakthrough is blocked again and again?" Sun Jin replied, "That's because the enemy uses the North Entrance as a feint to attract our army's forces and is unwilling to use cavalry. In addition, the enemy's banners in the North Entrance direction are guards composed of miscellaneous soldiers, which are obviously used as cannon fodder."

"The enemy attacking Nankou did not use cavalry either, so what should I say?" Li Ting said unconvincedly.

"You are right, but did Li Dutong find that the enemy's attack focus was not on the road to the mountain pass, but repeatedly competed for the commanding heights on both sides of the mountain pass. Moreover, the enemy's main force, Halalu Guard, has been concentrated south of Gangou, and it is intended to control the commanding heights of the mountain pass, and immediately use the main cavalry to attack the defense line of the mountain pass and open the path to Fuli. And our troops are on a alert state, as if you ignore me and I ignore you. Then it is not difficult to see the direction of the breakthrough of the enemy's troops!" Sun Jin replied, looking at Du Shuai with guilt, and seeing that he still had a dead fish face, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"What will Sun Dutong thinks will do next?" Tian Zhong and Li Ting fell into deep thought after hearing this, but Xiao Ting showed a look of surprise. His statement was basically consistent with his and Du Shuai's judgment. Seeing that Ni Liang had not agreed, he asked.

"I thought the military force of the North Exit should be strengthened, and the enemy army should be suppressed to the south, forcing them to shrink their positions and retreat to the south of the Gangou to reduce their defense depth, making it difficult for the enemy cavalry to exert its impact and reduce the pressure on our army's attack. The more concentrated the enemy's troops, the easier it is to promote the power of our army's artillery and can give them major damage; while the southern Exit strengthens defense, especially the fortifications at the commanding heights on both sides of the mountain pass, blocking the roads up the mountain and stabbing the hole to death. As long as the goal can be achieved, the enemy's morale will be greatly reduced and the morale will be shaken. Our army can take advantage of the enemy's lack of fighting spirit to launch a resolute attack and annihilate the enemy in the town!" Sun Jin said.

"Not bad, but it needs to be adjusted slightly!" Ni Liang took over the conversation at this time and said, "The three brigades each draw a regiment as a reserve team to use for general attacks. The 1 brigade adopts a multi-way attack tactic and attacks forward in turn, forcing the enemy backward and moving the front back to achieve the purpose of compressing the depth of the enemy's defense; the 2 brigade focuses on defense and may occasionally adopt counter-assault tactics, not only to defend the defense line, but also to consume the enemy's troops; the 3 brigade must launch attacks on the enemy's flanks in a timely manner to disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm and assist friendly forces in completing tasks."

"In addition, all units must allocate troops reasonably and make full use of our army's firepower advantages, especially those who are good at using artillery to kill and damage the enemy's living forces and preserve their own strength. You must know that after we annihilate this enemy, we must immediately enter the battle to annihilate the Tutuha troops, which is also a tough battle to fight!"

"Yes, please follow the commander's order and resolutely complete the task of annihilation!" After hearing this, the three of them stood up immediately, stood attentively and saluted and followed the order.

"Remember that the Fifth Brigade is facing several times the enemy's attack. They are using their lives to buy time for us!" Ni Liang replied, solemnly.

"We understand that we will never let the brothers of the Fifth Brigade be disappointed!" Tian Zhong saluted again and said in a deep voice, then left the command post first and hurriedly returned to the position. The other two also left with a solemn expression, but their hearts were quite heavy, and they secretly prayed that Sun Datong must persevere until they arrived...

At this time, Sun Datong, who was more than a hundred miles away, also ushered in a new day. His red eyes showed that he had not been asleep all night. After occupying Liuzi Town, he cleared the remaining enemies in the town and launched his troops to defend. Because Jiazi Town was built by a river, it was only because the canal was silted and broken, that the river channel gradually replaced the original road outside the town and became the main road. No one knew that it would be better to take a town with dense houses and open a road.

Therefore, Sun Datong did not concentrate all the troops in the town, but focused the defense on both sides of the main road northwest of the town, and ordered the 1st regiment of the Fifth Brigade, the Artillery Regiment and the Rocket Armory Regiment of the Artillery Brigade to build a defense line here, and arranged most of the cavalry brigades here to cover the flanks; the Second regiment deployed defense in the town, but he also learned from the experience of the Battle of Changshu and did not place all the troops in the formation, but arranged forward positions to assist artillery and cooperate with the defending troops; the Third regiment and the baggage regiment were used as reserves, and no troops were arranged in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, but only a small number of cavalry were sent to guard...
