This is his third emergency retreat in five days. The first few garrisons were breached by the army. If he stays there, he will either be shot dead or killed by explosives. If he is lucky, he will be blown to a pulp.
Facing the new military firearms, he fully felt what force was.
All the tactical actions he envisioned, the army’s new firearms, became empty, and those military strongholds with dominant terrain should become the army. The meat grinder should make the army suffer heavy losses one by one.
In the end, even if you take the army, you will be exhausted and suffered heavy losses, and you will be forced to retreat and give up the South War.
This is the best ending and the most important thing he imagined.
However, the fact is that the new military firearms smashed the military facilities he had worked hard to set up across the distance.
According to some lucky people, the long-range strike weapon he placed in the military stronghold could not reach the roots of the army, and it was meaningless to launch a storm on the mountain.
However, munitions can destroy their strongholds with extreme violence from far away.
Nothing can stop the terrible firearms from coming out, and the ammunition defense facilities will be completely destroyed with one blow.
Su Xiancheng collapsed and found himself making a second serious mistake. It is almost impossible and unforgivable to predict this military operation.
It can be said that it was negligence once, but what can I say after the second time?
For the first time, 10,000 elites were destroyed, and for the second time, the whole lang son sector was destroyed in the whole state.
This will be the most unlikely defeat for Su Xiancheng’s official, and it will almost ruin the credit accumulated by his previous achievements.
Because once lang son is broken, once the enemy troops in Liangzhou can March straight into the Dragon City and occupy the core of South Vietnam’s rule, it is easy to shake the foundation of South Vietnam’s Lee Dynasty and destroy everything.
The painstaking efforts of several generations of kings in the Lee Dynasty are likely to be directly ruined.
It is at this moment that Su Xiancheng suddenly discovered the great advantages of a big country relative to a small country.
It’s not just strength and national strength.
But by trial and error.
A big country has a vast territory, and its core is different. There is still more land to mobilize and counterattack. It is almost impossible to be defeated by a war. When they have enough, they can adjust their strategies to complete the new layout and reverse the defeat.
But small countries can’t.
For example, once South Vietnam lost Liangzhou mountain countries, it directly exposed the situation of the national front, which was comparable to the loss of sixteen prefectures Northern Song Dynasty and the loss of Xiangfan Southern Song Dynasty.
If it really comes to that …
Su Xiancheng, who is directly responsible for this defeat, needs to bear the unshirkable responsibility.
Chapter 1372 Nansheng Longcheng
On the fourth day of the war, I watched the war turn around, and Su Xiancheng thought about it, and wrote a letter to send someone to Shenglong City to give it to Li Tianzuo.
It’s time to escape, veteran. Since you can’t stick to our state, you have to die to serve your country.
Once lang son falls, you must never stay in the Dragon City and gamble. You must retreat south to a place with dangerous terrain.
At the same time, it is necessary to be careful of new firearms.
After the letter was sent out, Su Xiancheng received it and was ready to personally direct the war on the battlefield. As a result, it rained on the fifth day and the army stopped attacking
Su Xiancheng was overjoyed after a short pause, and immediately realized that it was the rainy day that threatened the military powder and made them afraid to go to war. This was the only chance for the South Vietnamese army!
We must fight back in rainy days, regain lost commanding heights in rainy days, and turn the battle around in one fell swoop in rainy days!
So Su Xiancheng ordered a considerable part of the South Vietnamese troops stationed in lang son to turn from defense to attack and began to launch a powerful offensive at the military garrison in an attempt to reverse Gan Kun.
This is Su Xiancheng’s third misjudgment.
The reason why he mistakenly entered the army was that a large part of the fighting capacity of firearms was brought by firearms. It was no big deal to lose the firearms army.
But the fact is that the army is just as strong without firearms.
The South Vietnamese army turned to the offensive army and turned to the defensive. From the offensive side to the defensive side, the defensive position was held at the commanding heights, and the defensive war began. In the face of the swarming South Vietnamese army, the bow and arrow and the rolling stone gave them great damage.
The attack of the South Vietnamese army was blocked, but Su Xiancheng was unwilling to give up this precious counterattack opportunity to force the army to invest more troops to storm the army.
The South Vietnamese army was forced to invest a lot of troops into the storm, and launched a difficult attack against the rain of arrows and rolling stones.
The army did not take the initiative to attack at first, but it took the initiative to attack when the South Vietnamese army was exhausted and retreated.
Dominant and overwhelming, this advantage was reversed by the army, which benefited several strongholds. The battlefield counterattack defeated the siege of the South Vietnamese army and pushed it to a very dangerous position for the South Vietnamese army.
Su Xiancheng was dumbfounded.
What do you mean, stealing chickens doesn’t bite back?
This is probably it.
Fighting over a hill without taking it back will destroy the morale of the army and the physical strength of the soldiers, and it will also consume a lot of military materials, but even if there is no result, it will be countered by the army
Su Xiancheng and South Vietnamese officers are now really aware of a problem that they didn’t realize before.
Military strength is orientation.
The rain stopped from the afternoon of the fifth day to the evening. On the sixth day, the sun was shining and the army was ready to take out gunpowder and matchrope and launched a new round of offensive.
By the seventh day of the fighting, two-thirds of the military strongholds in lang son’s northern mountainous areas were occupied by the army. The South Vietnamese army became more and more afraid to resist, and there was less and less will to fight. At first, the resolute charge of death was never seen again.
Afraid of being beaten
Su Xiancheng never gave up trying to sneak a detour to attack the rear of the army rather than sending troops to attack Danan, but the results were not good.
The army seems to have expected to make a corresponding arrangement to sneak attack on the South-South Vietnamese army, and Su Xiancheng’s last fight was also ineffective.
When the war situation in the northern mountainous areas of lang son deteriorated and some South Vietnamese soldiers began to desert and escape, there was a department to persuade Su Xiancheng to run while he could, and if he didn’t run, nothing would come.
The defeat of this war is a foregone conclusion. The South Vietnamese side can’t find a way to counter the military attack.
Su Xiancheng sighed and felt very painful about it.
In the face of the Ministry’s kind words, Su Xiancheng did not agree after all.
He is not going to run away, he is going to stay and fight until the last minute.
