Regarding this decisive battle, Ruyang King Ma Bao is more confident than Ma Weixing. Although he does not know what specific means Zhu Yongxing will use to separate the Qing army as quickly as possible, from the perspective of the Qing army, Jiangbei Camp is absolutely unavoidable

There are mistakes. Therefore, no matter what effect his bluff can have, the Qing army will inevitably station a considerable number of troops in the Jiangbei camp.

Even in Ma Bao's view, Zhu Yongxing's strategy of jointly attacking the Qing army was still cautious and reserved. If the appetite was bigger and the strategy was more radical, he should start later, so that the Qing army would consume more under Yuanjiang City.

.Then they used a bluff on the south bank to attract more Qing troops to cross the river, then isolated the Qing troops on both sides of the river, and took advantage of the situation to capture the Qing army's Jiangbei camp, completely cutting off the Qing army's retreat.

If Zhu Yongxing was very sure of destroying the pontoons on the Yuanjiang River and isolating the Qing troops on both sides of the strait, then adopting a more radical strategy would be very likely to succeed. But obviously, Zhu Yongxing had no intention of annihilating the Qing troops in Yuanjiang, nor did he want to drag out the war.

Too long.

This may be His Highness Min's consideration of the overall situation? In terms of strategic vision, Ma Bao has resigned himself to defeat. Although he cannot completely wipe out the Qing army, defeating Wu Sangui is also a great contribution, and he has nothing to be dissatisfied with. What's more, for Zhu Yongxing,

Ma Bao also admired this plan. Covering up reality with reality, using reality to fight virtuality, and combining reality with reality, it can turn Yuanjiang to my own advantage. It is no less than adding tens of thousands of troops. It is indeed very clever.

The evaluation of Ma Bao in history books is that he was capricious, nicknamed "Two Skins", cunning and good at fighting, and famous for his bravery. But in Zhu Yongxing's view, Ma Bao's only stain was that he had to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, or he was forced by the situation, or he was worried about his future.

It is understandable to be pessimistic and disappointed. But after he surrendered to Wu Sangui, he remained loyal and followed Wu Sangui to fight against the Qing Dynasty until the final failure and was killed. At that time, whether the war was going well or the situation was over, the Qing court repeatedly persuaded him to surrender.

He can remain unmoved, so how can he be considered capricious?

In fact, Ma Bao had the same principle as many of his contemporaries, that is, if he found a British master worthy of allegiance, he would be loyal to the end. Wu Sangui's appreciation and reuse, as well as Wu Sangui's reputation and status, made Ma Bao loyal to him wholeheartedly.
