On the third day of Fatty Lu¡¯s direct army entering Suzhou, which was also the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the 24th day of November in the thirteenth year of Kang Mazi, there were 16,000 members of the Suzhou Corps of the Fatty Army who had not been trained in actual combat. He personally led the whole army to go out and take the official road of Kunshan to the east to attack the only Songjiang Mansion in southern Jiangsu controlled by the Qing army. Fatty Lu stayed in Suzhou for the time being, commanding the army and civilians to ship the military pay and food that the Fatty Army had snatched from Hangzhou, and send them back to Nanjing's old nest along the canal, while providing backup for Li Tianzhi.
Fatty Lu said that he personally served as a backup for the Suzhou Legion, but everyone in the Fatty Army Suzhou Legion knew very well that Fatty Lu came to check the training results of the Suzhou Legion after its expansion and formation, and to observe whether the Suzhou Legion could continue to grow. Otherwise, with the current high morale of the Fatty Army's immediate legion, it would be almost no difficulty to break through Songjiang, and there would be no need to exchange defenses with the Suzhou Legion for the Suzhou Legion to attack Songjiang.
It is precisely because they understand this truth that the Suzhou Legion is ready to show its strength. It took the unlucky Songjiang Qing army to try their swords, and showed Fatty Lu a good start. Li Tianzhi, one of the oldest lackeys of Fatty Lu, the commander of the Suzhou Legion, and Yang Yingyuan, the old man of Wu Jun, the deputy commander of the Suzhou Legion, also specially called all the generals to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting when they went out. You must take the lead, encourage the morale of your own army, and show your military power to satisfy Lu Fatty and make the enemy frightened!
God made a big joke with the Suzhou Corps of the Fat Man Army. When the Suzhou Corps approached Shanghai County, the north gate of Songjiang Prefecture, the Shanghai garrison, which was only a small county at that time, had already abandoned the city and fled, and the order to abandon the city was still the Qing army. Hutu, the guard general of Songjiang Mansion, did it himself, but Chen Zhizuo, the magistrate of Shanghai, did not escape¡ªbut he surrendered the city immediately, and cut off the mouse's tail before the fat man's army could make a move, and forced the people in the city to cut it With a mouse tail, the Fatty Suzhou Legion couldn't even find a single object to vent their anger on.
There was no other way, Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan had no choice but to attack Songjiang City without stopping. Not only did they arrange the siege steps in advance, but they also sent a separate army to the south to set up an ambush in Xiaozheng Village, the only way from Songjiang to Jiaxing official road. , preparing to intercept the Qing army's rescue troops from Jiaxing, and to ambush Hutu's defeated army out of the city, trying to kill the thousands of Qing troops in Songjiang City, and show off the might of the Fatty Army's Suzhou Legion!
On November 28th, soldiers from the Fatty Army's Suzhou Legion approached the city of Songjiang. Without saying a word, Li Tianzhi immediately asked Qin Yong, who was sent by Fatty Lu to assist him, to line up more than 300 cannons outside the north gate of Songjiang. A siege ladder and fifty folding bridges used to deal with the moat were also lined up. In addition, thousands of lightweight flying ladders were prepared, and they swore with red eyes that they would break the city in one battle! In addition, Yang Yingyuan, Li Tianzhi's deputy, also personally selected and formed a siege squad consisting of a thousand people. He promised to reward him heavily. Thirty taels of silver reward!
The preparations for the siege had just been completed, and the fat army's artillery team had just started loading ammunition. Li Tianzhi, Yang Yingyuan and other senior generals of the fat army were stunned. A white flag was raised above the Songjiang city tower! Immediately after the suspension bridge crashed to the ground and the city gate opened, Zhang Shengqu, the prefect of Songjiang who had already cut off his braids, led countless common people and gentry out of the city to kneel and surrender. The order to abandon the city at Lai Tower had already taken 5,000 Zhejiang Qing troops in the city to flee for their lives yesterday evening. They were still walking back to Jiaxing by the small road on the Jinshanwei and Pinghu lines, so they avoided the ambush of the Fatty Army. intercept.
"Little Hutu, I'll fuck your mother's eighteenth generation ancestor!" Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan yelled together, thinking of paying the bounty for the undamaged 1,000-person death squad, Li Tianzhi and Yang Yingyuan wanted to tear Hutusheng apart impulse!
When the news spread back to Suzhou, Fatty Lu, who had planned to take the opportunity to observe the situation of the Suzhou Legion, was also dumbfounded. He was not only proud of his military power that had frightened many dogs in Zhejiang, but also secretly admired Laita's wise choice. The Qing troops in Songjiang and Jiaxing There are not many defenders. If you insist on defending the two cities together, you will only disperse your troops. It will be easier for the fat army to defeat each other. Rescue each other in the field battle, but you can't do the fat army, let alone stop the three good rockets of the fat army. It is better to give up There is still some hope and some certainty in defending Jiaxing alone.
"Boss, General Li Tianzhi and General Yang Yingyuan also ask for orders to go south to attack Jiaxing City. Please show me whether they agree." Wang Shaobo asked respectfully with Li Tianzhi's military report.
Fatty Lu thought for a while, then quickly shook his head and said: "No more fighting, let Li Tianzhi leave an army to defend Songjiang, and the main force should return to Suzhou. Zhang Shengqu, the prefect of Songjiang, will stay in his original post and will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. Other Songjiang officials only need to surrender. Yes, no one is moving,sp; Fatty Lu smiled and said: "The soldier replied, are we stupid? If the sniper with poor marksmanship is killed, the enemy will replace it with a sniper with accurate marksmanship, and we will be in trouble?! "
All the thieves in the fat army laughed, and they all said that the story was good and reasonable, and that soldier was also very smart. Only Yao Qisheng was thoughtful, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out: "Could it be that the general wants to say that we are fools if we kill Yue Le's army of dogs first? Since Yue Le's army of dogs can't deal with us at all If he poses a threat, we will ignore him, and we can keep him, so that the Emperor Mangou will not draw a more powerful army from other battlefields."
"It's only half right." Fatty Lu smiled again, and said, "Actually, that stupid sniper has another benefit to the enemy, that is, it wastes expensive special ammunition¡ªHuang Ji has already made it very clear in his letter, full The Dog Court can only support Yue Le to fight for half a year at most. Jiangxi Mangou, Anhui Mangou, and Zhejiang Mangou control areas all have some grain-producing fields, and the grain and grass are barely enough for themselves. But Yue Le, his rear Shandong Zhizhi Li, is it a grain-producing land? Can the grain and grass be self-sufficient?"
"Of course not. Zhili Shandong, which is full of dogs, has always been maintained by water grain. Now we have cut off the water transport full of dogs. The grain produced in those two provinces is not enough for the people to eat themselves. What else can we support the army of dogs?" Gao Dejie also came to his senses, and said happily: "So, we must not kill Yue Le's army full of dogs first, we should try to delay the time with him as much as possible, let him, a stupid sniper, keep firing empty guns, and keep wasting precious dogs Food, grass, and military pay, even if the dogs are full in the future, even if they return from other battlefields, there will be no military pay, food, and grass to use!"
"It's good to understand." Fatty Lu nodded in satisfaction, and then said with a smile: "Actually, for our army, leaving Yue Le's army full of dogs has a better use, a better use."
"What's the use?" The fat man asked quickly again.
"The secret, don't let it out!" Fatty Lu laughed and let it go, but a long-lost figure gradually appeared in his mind, an ugly figure with a face full of holes. (To be continued.
