    With a large number of people and great strength, the ideal position needed by the Qing army's artillery formation was quickly found. It was located in a large area of ??more than 600 mu of farmland to the west and slightly north of Yangzhou City.  The water source is not a problem. The reason why the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are called the granary of the world is that apart from the suitable climate and fertile land, another important reason is that the water conservancy facilities are perfect. The Qing army only needs to dispatch hundreds of thousands of infantry, and it takes less than half a day.  Easily dig out a diversion canal that is enough to flood the more than 600 acres of farmland into a swamp.

    The only thing that is more troublesome is the temporary fort. When firing on the muddy ground, if there is no solid fort support, the terrifying recoil of the artillery is enough to insert the tail of the gun into the mud, and the shell will fly without knowing where it will go.  But fortunately, the Qing army also had capable people and sufficient manpower, so they quickly figured out a way to quickly build a temporary fort, that is, to cut down a large number of trees, cut off the branches and leaves of the trunk, and sharpen one end  , and then nailed a few tree trunks into the mud, and then nailed planks on the top, and a temporary fort strong enough to withstand small earthquakes was completed.  (This method is not fictional, and it is still used when building buildings in some areas.)

    It is of course impossible for the Qing army to build temporary fortifications on such a large scale to hide from the eyes of the Yangzhou fat army, but it is too far away to judge what kind of fortifications the Qing army is building and what fortifications they are used for.  For the sake of caution, Gao Dejie, who is experienced in the battlefield, not only transferred three-quarters of the twenty Hongyi cannons in Yangzhou City to the northwest corner of Yangzhou, but also sent an army out of the city for fire reconnaissance.

    Although Gao Dejie's wishful thinking was good, but this time Yue Le was willing to go all out, mustered up the courage to fight with all his strength, Gao Dejie sent his general Gao Qi to lead 3,000 troops out of the city, and Yue Le sent 15,000 cavalry  The army fought against the fat man's army at all costs. With the determination that three Qing soldiers would kill a fat man's soldier, he desperately blocked the way out of the city for the fat man's army.  Leading Yue Le's relatives to supervise the battle in front of the battle, anyone who takes a step back before the battle will be killed immediately!

    At the beginning of the blocking battle, after killing hundreds of deserters including the banner soldiers in one breath, the soldiers of the Qing army who were all dead in front of them could only temporarily forget the fear of the fat army in order to survive, and moved forward desperately with red eyes, using their bodies  To block the fat army's gun holes, use your body to block the fat army's knives and guns, use your life to consume the fat army's Miyoshi rockets, desperately close the distance with the fat army, the mite cavalry and Mongolian cavalry also desperately encircle the two wings  , Even if there is already a river of blood in front of him, corpses are strewn all over the field, and the ones who follow are just desperately charging.

    One man is desperate, ten men are irresistible. Although the fat man's soldiers are brave, they can't stop the enemy's desperate impact several times. After fighting for more than two hours, they can't break through the Qing army's blockade and get close to the Qing army's artillery position.  At the same time, Yue Le was still sending reinforcements in a steady stream, assuming the posture of completely exhausting the fat city army.  Gao Qi had no choice but to give up the fire reconnaissance plan, and led the remnants of the army to flee back to Yangzhou City. The red-eyed Qing army chased him with all their strength, and the Yangzhou City was covered with artillery and Sanhao rockets with a range of only three miles.  The Qing army that rushed to the front was almost wiped out, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops honestly.

    When Gao Qi ran up to the city wall of the northwest gate of Yangzhou and saw Gao Dejie, Gao Dejie was discussing the military situation with Hu Guoliang, Wu Yonghua and other civil and military officials in Yangzhou city.  Seeing Gao Qi knelt down to plead guilty, Gao Dejie waved his hand generously and said: "Get up, I have seen the actual situation, I don't blame you for not getting the job done, it's because Man Gou worked too hard, you are afraid of too many casualties."  retreating soldiers."

    "Thank you, General Gao." Gao Qi hurriedly saluted and thanked him, then stood up, wiped the sweat and blood on his face and said, "General Gao, did Man Gou take the wrong medicine? The last general only had three thousand infantry out of the city.  The dog mobilized tens of thousands of troops to block it, and fought so desperately, as if it was going to die with the last general, is it completely unreasonable?"

    "I'm also curious about this matter. Why is Mangou so afraid of us leaving the city?" Gao Dejie also had a puzzled expression, and pointed to the Qing military construction site six miles to the northwest and said, "But one thing I can be sure of is that Mangou  The dogs are working so hard, nine out of ten are related to that construction site, and the dogs are either afraid of us destroying it, or afraid that we will know what they are doing?"

    "Then what is Mangou doing?" Hu Guoliang pondered: "Mangou transported so much wood and dug so much earth, could it be that they want to dig tunnels to attack the city? But if Mangou digs tunnels, there is no need to be in such an open place  Did you dig it so that we can find out? Besides, there is groundwater everywhere in Yangzhou, isn¡¯t digging a tunnel to attack the city just for flooding?¡±

    "General Gao, I have a suggestion." Jin Zhen, the magistrate of Yangzhou, said flatteringly: "General Gao Qi's performance in the city just now, I have seen it. As expected, our Great Zhou army is indeed brave and good at fighting.  ,"Prince Zhang waved his hand lazily, then looked down at "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again, Niyahan and the others had no choice but to shut their mouths and wait patiently.

    After holding his breath and waiting for a long time, Prince Zhang finally raised his head again and ordered: "It's decided, the whole army will set up camp and go north to Huangchi Town at the junction of Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion!"

    "Go to Huangchi Town?" Niyahan was taken aback, and quickly said, "My lord, are you joking? Huangchi Town is hundreds of miles away from Fanchang City, and there are no official roads or waterways.  We still honor Baylor, once in danger, it is very difficult to rescue each other."

    "Fortunately, you are still the Dingnan General of the Qing Dynasty. I can't even see the purpose of moving to Huangchi Town?" Prince Zhang said angrily: "Huangchi Town is located at the junction of Jiangning Mansion, Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. Our army  Moving here will directly threaten the two major towns of Wugou, Jiangning City and Taiping City, which can not only have the effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao, but also take advantage of false attacks to capture Jiangning or Taiping City, killing two birds with one stone, wouldn't it be wonderful?!"

    "Surround Wei and save Zhao? Kill two birds with one stone?" Niyahan and the others were stunned. After finally recovering, Niyahan hurriedly exclaimed: "General, it seems that it is not that easy, right? Let's not say that our army is so arranged that it is easy to be defeated by Wu."  It is absolutely impossible to attack Jiangning and Taiping City! Last time you almost succeeded in attacking Jiangning, it was because you commanded all cavalry and moved quickly, so you caught Wu Gou by surprise. This time our 40,000  The army is mixed with infantry and cavalry, and the marching speed is slow, and Wu Dog has suffered and been deceived, so there must be heavy troops stationed in Jiangning and Taiping City, how can we succeed in a surprise attack?"

    "If there is no way to sneak attack, then attack by force." Prince Zhang said confidently: "My prince is familiar with military books and has a deep understanding of military strategies. Naturally, I have considered the difficulty of sneak attack this time, so when our army moved to Huangchi Town, I also  I will send a death order to Le Erjin, let him stick to Fanchang City, not to take a step back, firmly restrain the main force of Wugou, and buy time for the main force of our army to storm Taiping City and Jiangning City!"

    Not to mention, the tactics arranged by Prince Zhang this time are literally invulnerable. Even Niyahan, who is experienced in military affairs, can't find fault - although it is definitely not that easy to execute.  So Niyahan could only cautiously remind: "My lord Zhang, is it too difficult for Shuncheng Baylor's lone army to contain Wugou's main elite? After several times of seeing and seeing in Fanchang County, the people in the city have basically fled.  It's completely clean, the city is dilapidated, and it's too difficult for Baylor to stand alone?"

    "That's right." Shu Shu, Leerjin's powerful deputy, who was forcibly transferred by Prince Zhang from Tongling City, also reminded: "And most of the 20,000 troops in Shuncheng Baylor's hands are second-line troops with mediocre combat effectiveness, so let him alone  I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight Wugou's elite, so please think twice, my lord."

    "Can't fight in the wild, can't you defend the city?" Prince Zhang suddenly got angry and asked fiercely: "Last time in Chizhou, I only had five or six thousand troops in my hands, and the people in the city fled completely, but the enemy  There are more than 80,000, according to your thinking, isn't this king dead? But what is the final result?"

    "That's why your blind cat ran into a dead mouse, okay?" Most of the generals of the Qing army murmured together, but no one dared to speak out.

    "It's so decided!" Prince Zhang clapped the handsome case and shouted: "Immediately the whole army will pull out the camp and march into Huangchi Town! Give Le Erjin a death order, and defend Fanchang City at all costs! Take Taiping City for the main force of our army  Buy time! Then send an order to Ghent Baturu, let him and Leerjin become horns, assist Leerjin to defend Fanchang, and wait until the king wins Taiping City or Jiangning City, and then go south to join me!"

    "Damn it, there is no other way, just take a gamble. Logically speaking, Wu Gou should have come to beat us first. After this idiot suffers, maybe he will change his mind." Headed by Niyahan  All the generals of the Qing army murmured in their hearts together, and they all agreed together helplessly, "Cover."

    Ever since, when the main force of the Fat Man Army was fighting towards Fanchang along the wide and flat official road, our Great Qing God of War, Prince Zhang, led the main force of the Qing Army on the Western Front very wisely, carrying a large amount of food, grass and baggage across the mountains and mountains,  Crossing rivers and streams, overcoming thorns and thorns, marching on sparsely populated wilderness paths, aggressively attacking Huangchi Town at the junction of Jiangning Mansion, Taiping Mansion and Ningguo Mansion.  Surround, and look for opportunities to send surprise soldiers to attack the back of the fat man's army!

    After Lord Zhang¡¯s wise decision and order to stick to Fanchang came to Le Erjin, Le Erjin vomited blood on the spot, slapped the table and cursed, ¡°Child Zhangtai, I¡¯ll fuck your mother¡¯s eighteenth generation ancestor!  Not to mention the transfer of Lao Tzu's main soldiers, but also Lao Tzu's steadfast defense of Fanchang, not allowing him to take a step back¡ª¡ªFanchang is a shattered siege, and you still want to contain the elite of Wugou's two major corps? You come to guard for me!  "

    "Prince Zhang is a good man, let him continue his prestige for a few days, and ignore him." Fatty Lu reacted in this way when he received the news, pointed his whip in the direction of Fanchang, and shouted: "Go at full speed to Fanchang, this time, you can't say anything."  Let this annoying fly, Le Erjin, run away!"
