Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Gaizhou is located southeast of Yingkou, with a straight-line distance of only 30 kilometers. It is located in the northern section of Beihai in the Daxia Empire.

Beihai is surrounded by the land of the Daxia Empire on three sides. There is only a gap in the southeast of Beihai. However, in the middle of this gap of more than 41 kilometers, there is a series of Temple Island Islands distributed in it, leaving only a [-]-kilometer gap without any island lanes.

According to international practice, the territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles from the land of a sovereign country, which is 22.24 kilometers.

The straight-line distance from the northernmost tip of Miaodao Islands to the southernmost tip of Liaozhou Peninsula is 41 kilometers, which is exactly within the range of 44 kilometers. This resulted in the entire North Sea being actually an inland sea belonging to the Daxia Empire.

Gaizhou, like Yingkou, is located to the north of Beihai, at the top of the arc.

Gaizhou City is divided into two parts by the Daqing River, and the entire city is built along the river.

For enemies who want to attack this city, this Daqing River is really fatal.

Whether you attack from north to south or from south to north, if you want to defeat the enemy on the other side, you need to cross the river first.

Ding Yi stood on a high ground, holding a telescope and looking at the entire Gaizhou City. His brows furrowed slightly.

He clearly saw that one of the only two bridges across the river in the city had been blown up by Sakura and was still emitting black smoke. There is another dual-purpose railway bridge. Without even thinking about it, you know that Sakura has deployed heavy troops there.

If you want to cross the river and defeat Sakura, you must figure out how to cross the river.

At this time, Ding Yi also felt a headache.

"Adjutant!" Ding Yi shouted to his adjutant.

"Camp seat." Hearing Ding Yi call him, the adjutant quickly walked to Ding Yi's side.

"Let the reconnaissance platoon feel out the opponent's bottom and see what's going on in the city!" Ding Yi said to his adjutant.

When he just checked Gaizhou City, he discovered that in the north of Gaizhou City, the Sakura Empire did not have many soldiers, and only a regiment of Goryeo servants was stationed.

When Ding Yi saw Xiaoyinghua's configuration, he knew that Xiaoyinghua stationed in Gaizhou must have placed the battlefield on the Daqing River Railway Bridge.

Now he was not familiar with the situation of the railway bridge, so he wanted to send a few people into the city to have a look.

A regiment of Korean servants defended the entire northern part of Gaizhou, which clearly meant that these Korean servants could be used as cannon fodder.

It is not easy for the reconnaissance platoon to pass through the defense line of the servant army, which is full of loopholes.

So when the adjutant heard Ding Yi's order, he did not object. Instead, he turned around and ran to find the reconnaissance platoon.

Seeing the adjutant leaving, Ding Yi once again observed the defense in Qi City.

Two hours later, the reconnaissance platoon returned to the outside of the city.

"How is the situation?" Ding Yi looked at the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon and asked.

"The camp, the entire North City is empty, and there is only one regiment of Korean servants stationed there. We caught a tongue and asked about the situation in the city."

"In the entire Gaizhou City, there is only one regiment of Sakura, and the rest are all Korean servant armies. Moreover, even these servant armies are only four regiments. In total, there are more than [-] people. ."

"However, hard seats, I don't think those servants have any combat effectiveness. I predict that we only need to dispatch one or two regiments to capture Gaizhou." The reconnaissance platoon leader said to the definition.

When Ding Yi heard what the platoon leader said, he did not comment. Instead, he looked at the platoon leader and said, "We don't need to worry about these things. I just want to know the deployment situation in the south and north of the city, as well as the information about the railway bridge."

When the reconnaissance platoon leader heard Ding Yi's words, he immediately took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Battle base, this is the simplified defense map I drew of the north of Gaizhou City. The location where the servant army is stationed in the north of the city is marked here."

"Although the time was too short and we did not find out all the defense points in the north of the city, it definitely covered more than 75% of the defense points of the Korean servant army in the north of the city."

"As for the south side of the city, brothers can't get through, so there's no way to investigate."

"Sakura has deployed heavy troops on the railway bridge, and we have no way to get over."

"Moreover, according to Tongue, Sakura has buried a lot of explosives under the railway bridge, and the bridge may be blown up at any time." said the reconnaissance platoon leader.

Ding Yi also fell into deep thought after hearing the platoon leader's words.

Judging from the current situation, it is easy for them to capture the north of the city, but it is more difficult to capture the south.

"Are there any people in the city?" Ding Yi suddenly thought of something.

"According to what I told you, there are no people in the north of the city. Those little cherry blossoms just forcibly moved all the people in the north of the city to the south of the city."

"And in the south of the city, Xiaoyinghua also asked the people to stay at home and not allowed to go out." The investigation platoon leader said quickly.

Hearing this, although Ding Yi was a little angry, he also knew that this was the only way for Sakura to avoid being attacked by artillery.

When we were in Yingkou before, the Sakura Kingdom garrison there was worried that the ordinary people of Daxia would stab them in the back, so they drove all the people of Daxia out of Yingkou.

The conclusion is that the entire camp entrance was plowed by the Second Division and the Third Division with artillery.

Directly blow up the Sakura Army in the camp until they lose their temper.

Gaizhou should also have heard the information from Yingkou. They were worried that if they drove out all the people, they would suffer the same fate as Yingkou.

That's why the people were kept in the city. At least this way, the little Sakura stationed in Haizhou won't be directly bombed by artillery like Yingkou and won't even recognize his mother.

As for using ordinary people to block people's attention, even the little Sakuras in Gaizhou City wouldn't dare.

After all, Dandong's early warning made them dare not use this move.

However, Gaizhou City like this made Ding Yi feel a little troublesome. If he wanted to attack the railway bridge head-on, Daxia would definitely pay a heavy price.

Ding Yi has always felt that fighting a war cannot just rely on recklessness, but must use brains. Just like doing business. Do not do transactions that are obviously loss-making.

Ding Yi looked at the sketch drawn by the platoon leader, and then asked: "Do you think we can swim to the other side?"

"It's difficult to swim from the camp to the city. There are dams built on both sides of the Daqing River in the city. They are straight and three to four meters high."

"Gaizhou is close to the sea. During the tide, the seawater intrudes and the river water rises, so flood control dams are built to prevent the river water from spreading into the city."

"If we want to swim across, we need to find a way to climb up the three- to four-meter-high embankment before we can climb ashore."

"If you wait until the tide comes, you don't have to climb that high, but you still have to climb a meter or two."

"During the tide, the river is very fast, and people will be swept away by the river within a few seconds of entering. Therefore, it is unrealistic to use the tide to cross the river."

When Ding Yi heard what the platoon leader said, he also sighed that these little cherry blossoms really knew how to choose a place. This Gaizhou is indeed somewhat easy to defend but difficult to attack.
