From the capital to Huai'an is naturally much closer than to Xi'an, and it is eight hundred miles in a hurry. On the evening of February 28, Kang Mazi's imperial decree to Yue Le was sent to the Jieshou Camp of the Southern Expedition to the Qing Army¡ª¡ª ¡ªAs for the content of this false decree, everyone must be very clear about it. In addition to scolding Yue Le bloody, there is also a restriction that Yue Le must come up with a concession before March 23. Kang Mazi is satisfied with the record and has made a key breakthrough! Otherwise, hum.
Being scolded bloody by Kang Mazi was of course within Yue Le's expectation. After all, Yue Le's statement this time was very correct in terms of military strategy, but it was nothing to Kang Mazi's overall national strategy. A debilitating laxative. But what really scares Yue Le is the last sentence of Kang Mazi's false decree - if Yue Le can't produce a record that satisfies Kang Mazi before March 23, then Kang Mazi will not send anyone to arrest Yue Le and bring him back to Beijing for trial. He will only go south to punish Yue Le himself!
"Oops!" Yue Le slapped the table, and repeatedly complained: "The emperor has moved the mind of the imperial conquest again. If he really comes, our Qing Dynasty will really be over!"
"Your Majesty wants to conquer in person?" Tu Hai, Shang Shan, Dong Weiguo and the others were all taken aback. After listening to Yue Le's explanation and analysis, Tu Hai, Shang Shan and the others screamed like killing pigs, "Master What on earth are you thinking? How did you think of Yujia¡¯s personal conquest? He came to the Jiangnan battlefield in person, what is it not to give Lu Yifeng a godsend opportunity to destroy our Qing Dynasty in a single battle?"
"Master is young and energetic, and has a high self-esteem. He has thought of conscripting himself more than once." Yue Le sighed, then slapped the table and shouted: "Master must not be allowed to take risks on the Jiangnan battlefield, we must stop it!" The master personally conquers! Otherwise, our Great Qing Dynasty will really be over!"
"Judging from the tone of the imperial decree, the master may want to give us one last chance." Shang Shan analyzed: "If we can achieve certain results before March 23, for example, take down a major town of Wugou, or severely injure us once If Wu Dog is the main force, then the master will give up the idea of ??going to the south and continue to let you, the prince, lead the army. If we are still empty-handed by March 23, the master will definitely go to the south in person."
"It should be like this." Yue Le nodded, and said: "There is no other way. Before March 23, no matter how much we pay, we must take down a Wugou town, or severely damage Wugou once, and give the master one." Confessed."
"That's the truth, but the question is, how can we achieve such a result?" Tuhai frowned and said, "Leaving aside the fact that Wu Gou's Yangzhou Corps has been standing still, even if they move, we may not necessarily It can take advantage. Wugou in the two cities of Gaoyou and Xinghua is a weak point. There may be some hope for a strong attack at any cost, but these two cities are only county towns. Even if they are defeated, the master will definitely not be satisfied. Yangzhou city¡¡."
"Master Tu, how much hope do you think our army has for storming Yangzhou?" Yue Le asked.
"Almost none." Tu Hai shook his head, and said helplessly: "The reason why our Prince Yu (Duoduo) of the Qing Dynasty was able to capture Yangzhou City back then, apart from having the advantage of artillery, another key reason was the internal strife in Nanming. Willing to rescue each other, no one sent reinforcements to Shi Kefa, Shi Kefa fought alone, and Yangzhou was captured by our Qing army. That's it, our Qing army used to step on the corpse mountain to rush into the city wall, and now we have enough The troops can step on the mountain of corpses to attack the city again, but if the Wugou army does not rescue each other, it is impossible to even think about it."
"I just don't know how well Wugou's army is capable of defending the city." Dong Weiguo pondered: "Since the Battle of Anshun, our Qing Dynasty has been on the defensive, and Wugou has been on the offensive. If we are good at defending the city, we have many ways to prevent the Wu dogs from rescuing each other."
"What does Dong Zhitai mean is that our army's north, south and south routes will attack together, making it difficult for Wu dogs to rescue each other?" Yue Le turned his head and asked Dong Weiguo.
"That's right." Dong Weiguo nodded and replied: "Let the Qing army in Zhejiang attack Hangzhou and Huzhou to contain Wugou's Suzhou Army; Lord Kang sent troops from Chuzhou to attack the two counties of Jiangpu and Liuhe in Jiangning Prefecture to contain Wugou. The Jiangning Legion; Hilgen and Shuncheng Baylor joined forces to attack Taiping Mansion and restrain Wu Gou's Taiping Mansion Legion. Finally, we can deal with Wu Dog's Yangzhou Legion alone, increasing our chances of winning."
"If you say it, you don't say it. Isn't this kind of multi-pronged attack tactic exactly what the king's previous strategic arrangement is?" Yue Le smiled bitterly in his heart, and said even more helplessly: "Although this plan is great, our army's firearms And the quality of the soldiers is not as good as Wu Gou, even if you attack a Yangzhou army alone, I am afraid that there is not much chance of winning."
"My lord, at this point in the matter, even if there is only a 10% chance of winning, I have to give it a try." DongFirearms were also consumed a lot in the previous battle of Dongge, so they asked Fatty Lu for reinforcements.
"Old Yue Le finally jumped the wall in a hurry." Fatty Lu said contemptuously, "I'm sure I can't bear the pressure of Kang Mazi, so I have to take a chance and try my luck."
"Boss, how should we deal with it?" Wang Shaobo asked: "Should we stick to the original plan, or take the initiative to repel the invading Mangou in turn?"
"Mr. Yao, what do you think? Which battlefield should my direct army be sent to?" Fatty Lu turned his head and asked Yao Qisheng.
"The general has already made up his mind, so why ask the students?" Yao Qisheng asked back with a smile, and then said: "Annihilating or severely injuring Mangou on the northern line will cut off the hope of the Mangou emperor's own conquest; annihilating or severely injuring Le Erjin and Niya John's full-dog team will let Prince Pingxi take advantage of it; it is too far south to Huzhou, and it will be difficult to return to help if the other roads change. But if Jieshu's full-dog team is severely damaged or wiped out, the impact will not be so great big."
"Junshi Yao is indeed my confidant." Fatty Lu applauded and laughed nastyly, "I was too lazy to go on an expedition to fight Chuzhou, and exposing my strength too early cut off Kang Mazi's hope of going to the south of the Yangtze River himself, but since Jie Shuxiaoer took the initiative to send Naturally, I won't be polite if I come to send him to his death, so I can relax a little bit when Kang Mazi's royal conquest is in the future."
"Students will make arrangements immediately to prepare boats for the master to cross the river." Wang Shaobo comprehended, and asked again: "My master, are you going to fight Jieshu Mangou yourself? Or send a general to go out?"
"Anyway, it's not far away, and it's easy to contact. Lord Kang and I are old friends again. If I don't make a trip in person, I'd be too sorry." Fatty Lu waved his hands generously, and then ordered: "You all get ready. , Master Yao and Doctor Zhu will follow me to the expedition, Shaobo, you and Xie Dong will stay in Nanjing City, as for the generals, Wang Xu, Han Yuanren, Hu Tongchun and Yao Yi will follow the army, Gao Hongchen and Xiaoyong will stay behind, and the defenders will be led by Gao Hongchen In terms of military affairs, Young Uncle, you can give him some advice."
Wang Shaobo, Yao Qisheng and others agreed to hurry down to arrange and prepare for the expedition. Two days later, on March 14th, Fatty Lu personally led Wang Xu, Han Yuanren and other generals to cross the river with 20,000 soldiers carrying a large number of rocket artillery. As soon as the team set off, Fatty Lu sent a clipper to order Quanjie to abandon Liutang Mountain, which was being attacked by the Qing army, and retreat across the Chu River to lure Jieshu's army into Jiangpu County.
Fatty Lu¡¯s courier had just set off, and when the crossing fleet was halfway across the river, Wang Shaobo sent a fast boat to send an urgent report, saying that Liu Guoxuan, the Taiwanese army stationed in Hangzhou, had discovered that the Shaoxing Qing army had sent troops to the west, targeting Hangzhou directly. Liu Guoxuan, a widowed general, was worried that he would not be able to resist the enemy, so he sent messengers for help to Li Guodong and Guo Yingfu, and this urgent report was sent by Guo Yingfu, the fat man Huzhou defender who was relatively close.
"You asked for help before the battle started. Do you, Liu Guoxuan, want me to send troops to take the whole of Zhejiang for you?" Fatty Lu sneered, turned to Zhu Fangdan and said, "Master Zhu, write back to Guo Yingfu and Li Tianzhi, and let them The excuse is that our army on the northern front is in an urgent situation, and we cannot send reinforcements for the time being, and we will send troops to help Liu Guoxuan hang himself after Mangou and Liu Guoxuan are both wounded in the fight. Also, closely monitor every move of Geng Jingzhong's team, and be careful that this bastard will take advantage of the fire."
Zhu Fangdan agreed, after writing the letter and sending the messenger, Fatty's army's river-crossing fleet had arrived at the North Shore Wharf. Before Fatty Lu had time to board the ship, Wang Shaobo's second fast boat with the messenger had already arrived at Fatty Lu. In front of him, he presented an urgent military report from Taiping Mansion to Fatty Lu, and said: "General, the scouts of our army's Taiping Mansion Corps discovered that the Mangouleer Jin Division stationed in Tongling was dispatched in full force. Departing on March 11th, they were heading towards Taiping Mansion, the west gate of our army. At noon on the same day, Mangou Anqing navy fleet was also found on the river. They joined forces with Leerjin Mangou and sailed eastward together. .¡±
"Unsurprisingly, Little Yue Le is really planning to attack in multiple ways." Fatty Lu snorted coldly, but just after he finished humming, Fatty Lu's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly asked, "Wait, what did you just say?" ? Le Erjin was the teacher of the Mangou Navy Club on the day of departure?"
Seeing the courier nodding and repeating, Fatty Lu couldn't help feeling a little suspicious, "Is it a coincidence? In just three days, I have received three urgent calls from the northern line, the western line, and the southern line. On the day Mangou set out, did he join forces with Leerjin Mangou? Even if it is as expected, Old Yue Le wants my four legions to fight on their own and cannot rescue each other, but there is no need to arrange it so carefully. Are you cooperating so well? Could it be just a coincidence that Yue Le's orders just happened to reach the hands of all the dogs in these three days?"
Suspiciously, Fatty Lu inevitably regretted his lack of care and greed for merit, and hurried across the river to clean up Jie Shu, an annoying fly. (To be continued.
