Fortunately, under the command of Prince Zhang, there is also a former Guangzhou general Shu Shu who was forcibly transferred from the command of Le Erjin. He has fought side by side with Le Erjin since the twelfth year of Kang Mazi, and is very familiar with Le Erjin's situation. , recognized at a glance that the messenger sent by Le Erjin was actually Le Erjin's confidant, and hurriedly stood up to testify. Jin was unable to write letters with a pen, so he failed to bring Leerjin's handwritten letter for help.
No matter what you say, coupled with the persuasion of all the generals of the Qing army, our Lord Zhang reluctantly believed the words of the messenger Le Erjin, waved his hand to let the soldiers let go of the unfortunate messenger, and then asked: "When did Wu Dog start attacking?" City? When you came out to ask for help, how was the situation in Fanchang City?"
"My lord, Wu Gou started attacking the city at dawn today." The messenger Le Erjin replied truthfully: "Wu Gou bombarded the east gate and south gate of Fanchang with more than a hundred light and heavy artillery pieces, and the city wall of Fanchang has been in disrepair for a long time. , In less than an hour, a big hole was blasted out. Although our army tried its best to rescue the city wall, the Wugou artillery fire was too fierce, our army suffered heavy casualties, and our army cavalry sent out of the city to attack the Wugou artillery formation was also wiped out. As a last resort, Lord Baylor sent his servants to ask the prince for help, please send the troops quickly, otherwise Fanchang will be in danger."
"Trash!" After listening to the messenger's introduction, not only did our Lord Zhang not immediately send troops to rescue, but instead he slapped the table and angrily said, "What does Le Erjin do? It took only an hour for Wugou to attack the city, and he sent someone here." Call for help? Waste! Big waste!"
"My lord, you can't blame Shuncheng Baylor!" Le Erjin's messenger screamed: "It's Wu Dog's artillery fire is too fierce, one burst cannonball can blow up five or six of our brothers, one solid cannonball , can blow the Fanchang city wall out of a big hole, Lord Baylor really can't stand it, so I have to ask you for help."
"My lord, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, please also experience the difficulty of accepting Lord Baylor." Shu Shu stood up again, clasped his fists together, and said cautiously: "Maybe my lord has never been to Fanchang City, and I don't know the situation of Fanchang City Wall. , the Fanchang city wall is only two feet high, and it has been in disrepair for a long time. The city bricks are seriously broken and falling off, and the moat is basically dry. Vulnerable and of little use.¡±
"Also." Shu Shu added carefully, "When Lord Belle went out before, in order to leave some seeds for our Qing army, he left most of the experienced main force elite in Tongling, and only brought a small amount of elite and If the second- and third-line armies go out to fight without the protection of the city walls or fortifications, and fight in the open air, I'm afraid"
"Don't make excuses for this king!" Our Lord Zhang waved his hand and scolded righteously: "Zhuge Liang was in Xinye, and he wiped out Xiahou Dun's 100,000 troops with only a few thousand troops! This king also only used a few thousand troops in Chizhou. A few thousand troops defeated Wu Gou's 80,000 elite! Le Erjin has 20,000 troops in his hands, and a navy to support him, and he asked the king for help after only more than an hour since the start of the battle. Isn't it trash?!"
The generals of the Qing army were speechless, and they really didn't have the confidence to refute in front of the outstanding Lord Zhang. Only Prince Zhang¡¯s confidant, Tong Zhuman, dared to open his mouth, and cupped his hands to Prince Zhang and said, ¡°My lord, this servant thinks whether it¡¯s too early or too hasty to ask for help from Lord Belle, you can ignore it for now, but since Lord Belle sent a messenger to ask for help , we have to take some action. The slave please lead an army to rescue Fanchang, and ask the prince for permission."
"The last general is also willing to save Fanchang!" Niyahan, Shu Shu and other generals of the Qing army came out together, clasping their fists together to beg for orders.
"Save Fanchang? It's easy to say!" Prince Zhang suddenly became angry again, and he also expressed a rare insightful opinion, "It's nearly a hundred miles from Huangchi Town to Fanchang. When our army runs there, no matter what Is it the cavalry or the infantry who are almost exhausted, and send them to the door to give Wu Gou a rest?"
"My lord is right, and it makes sense." Zhuman hesitated for a moment, then hurriedly asked again: "My lord, what should we do then?"
"Send troops immediately to attack Taipingfu City!" Prince Zhang threw out his long-planned plan, and said confidently: "Wu Dog's main force is to attack Fanchang City, and this king will attack their Taiping City. It is a small county town, but Taiping City is the west gate of Wugou in the south of the Yangtze River, and tightly restricts Wugou's grain road and escape route, each fighting his own way, to see who is more anxious. By the way, the siege of Wei and Zhao can be lifted, and the siege of Fanchang can be lifted."
Prince Zhang¡¯s tactic was quite normal, and none of the generals in the Qing army objected to making trouble for themselves. Only Niyahan raised a question and asked, ¡°My lord, are we sure we can take Taiping City? The high pool is deep, and the city is far stronger than Fanchang City. Once we cannot attack the city, or the siege battle is delayed for a long time, Wu Gou breaks through Fanchang and then calmly returns to the army, and the Taiping City defenders attack from inside and outside. Our troubles.It is much easier to fill the main force of the dog. "
"General, I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic." Yao Qisheng reminded: "When the news of our army's annihilation of Fanchang Mangou reaches Taiping Mansion, the main force of Mangou will immediately understand that they are already a lone army, and they have already been defeated by our Nanjing army. The garrison, the garrison of Taiping Mansion, the garrison of Wuhu, and our main force are encircling, no matter how stupid Man Gou is, he will choose to retreat to Ningguo Mansion immediately, and break out of the encirclement before we close the siege, and escape."
"It doesn't matter, we can return to the division immediately, and Li Mao will attack the general inside and outside, and smash the main force of the dog." Zhu Fangdan suggested.
"Master Zhu, things are not that easy." Yao Qisheng said solemnly: "Our army has just experienced a big battle, and the soldiers are very tired. At this time, we will immediately return to the Taiping Mansion and walk down more than 120 miles. Soldiers will also be exhausted, and at that time, let alone wipe out the main force of the full force, whether they can withstand the counterattack of the main force of the full force is probably a big question."
"That's going to be difficult." Zhu Fangdan scratched his head and said, "At this time, if you go back to the division to fight the main force of the dog, the soldiers' physical strength will not be able to bear it. If you rest for a day or two and then return to the division calmly, the main force of the full dog will slip south again. We can't go south to attack Ningguo Mansion, can we?"
"We must find a way to drag the main force of the dog under the city of Taiping." Fatty Lu said in a deep voice.
"Think of a way to drag the main force of Mangou under Taiping City?" Yao Qisheng was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "General, how is this possible? No matter how stupid Zhang Tai is, it is impossible for him to stay in the dangerous Taiping City like a fool, waiting for us to calm down." Go back to the teacher and kill them all?"
"I think there is hope." Fatty Lu said quite confidently: "Emperor Mangou asked Prince Zhang to lead the main force on the western front to march east. Fleeing to the Ningguo Mansion may save the main force of the Man Dog, but the mission entrusted to him by the Man Dog Emperor will definitely be ruined¡ª¡ªwill our Prince Zhang disappoint the Man Dog Emperor?"
"That makes sense, so what should we do?" Yao Qisheng asked again.
"Let me think about it." Fatty Lu sat back on the chair, kicked his legs and swayed to calculate, after a long time, Fatty Lu suddenly stopped shaking his fat legs, raised his head and said happily: "I thought of a way, maybe it will work .¡±
"What method?" Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan hurriedly asked together. But when Fatty Lu finished his idea, Yao Qisheng and Zhu Fangdan screamed again, "General, what are you kidding? Can this method work?"
"It's hard to say." Yao Qisheng added unceremoniously, and said: "Unless you are a bastard with water in your head, you will never be fooled by this method!"
"But the problem is, our Lord Zhang is such a person. For him, other tricks may not work like this." Fatty Lu smiled, waved his fat hand again, and said decisively: "No matter what you do, you have to do it." Give it a try, and immediately send the Clippers to Li Mao to pass orders to let him follow the plan. If it really doesn¡¯t work, we¡¯ll think about it.¡±
¡¡¡¡¡¡
Turning around to look at the situation at the Xiba camp in Miqing, because of the distance and the road blockade, at almost the same time, Kang Mazi, who had been waiting for a long time in the Xiba camp, finally received a message from Fatty Lu. The news that he has personally led the army to the west, and this news was brought back to Kang Mazi by Zhou Peigong from the Yangzhou battlefield.
"Lu Yifeng! Dog thief¡ª¡ª!"
Hearing the news of Fatty Lu's expedition to the west, we are wise and powerful, handsome in appearance, Yue Lishenghong, actuarial arithmetic, calligraphy and painting, astronomy, foreign languages, politics, dredging rivers, and literary and martial arts. Tuo Tu far surpassed Qin Wei Jingtang, the Pockmarked Emperor who was bragging about all his skills, was so angry that his face turned blue, and he slapped the fake dragon case and shouted: "Lu Yifeng! You thief! How dare you despise me so much? I have already conquered Qinghe by myself, yet he dares to send troops to the western front, and he doesn't take me seriously at all!"
"Master, since Lu Yifeng's thieves have already sent troops to the west, this slave has something to say." Zhou Peigong kowtowed, and said something that made Kang Mazi overjoyed, and also made all the civil and military officials next to him go out of their wits¡ª ¡ª¡ªThis is what Zhou Peigong said, "The slave boldly believes that it is time for the master to cross the Yellow River and visit the Yangzhou battlefield."
