Chapter 63 The old trick is repeated (8)
After a little preparation, the two men quickly reported the news of the Ming army's attack to the defenders in Guangchang County.
Something happened. It was the return of the Qing army that was fleeing in embarrassment that attracted their attention. The news they got at this moment just confirmed their wild thoughts. And just when they heard the bad news, they were like ants on a hot pot.
At that time, the Fujian green battalion deputy general whom they had always been wary of decidedly announced that he would assemble the entire army to go south and fight the Ming army to the death!
"Wang Shuai, after all, the traitor Chen Kai's Guangdong Fubiao has a good reputation. Isn't it safer to rely on the city to defend it and let us be each other's horns?"
What he said about garrison was true. The strategy of setting up a stronghold outside the city and being at the same angle as the city was also the right strategy for military strategists. However, I had long been worried about being used as cannon fodder by the Jiangxi side. After hearing this, I felt even more excited.
There is no more burden at all.
"Can Guangchang County be able to withstand Chen Ni's Hongyi Artillery Brigade?"
This is obviously impossible. Any normal person will think of the old Guangzhou and Ganzhou, which were not even able to fare well in front of the Hongyi artillery team, let alone a small county like them.
Thinking about the city wall that was probably slightly stronger than paper in front of the Hongyi cannon, the magistrate of Guangchang County and the garrison adults couldn't help but sweat like rain. Naturally, they had no respect for the deputy general's generosity in dying.
It means blocking.
Next, two thousand troops from the Fujian Green Camp set off for the expedition, while the Jiangxi civil and military forces in the county were busy cleaning up the weak, and were always ready to grease their feet. However, they had the responsibility to defend the territory. If Guangchang County was captured by the Ming army, the Qing court would
I'm afraid they will have a better time over there. But if they die here like this, people can't escape the desire to survive. In times of crisis, if you want to have both, even if you just struggle a little to survive,
They can only continue to wait for news in the city - at the very least, if the two thousand Fujian Green Camp are defeated, and they only have this measly two hundred Jiangxi Green Camp in their hands, they will naturally be powerless. There is some explanation for the above.
I was anxiously waiting for news from the Fujian Green Camp. Not even an hour after leaving, the thunderous sound of war drums and shouts of death came from the south. This was obviously an encounter between the Fujian Green Camp and the pursuing Ming army. And the result of the encounter was
, and returned to Guangchang County half an hour later. The deputy general of Fujian Green Camp claimed to have repelled the pursuing Ming army, but Tan Ma discovered more Ming troops, attacking the first town of Fubiao, and the
The flags of the second town and the fifth town, from a distance, look like there are not ten thousand people, but seven or eight thousand people!
"Commander Wang is still guarding the rear of the army, and he specially asked this general to come and prepare everything."
The guerrilla general was hanging with one arm, and the bandage covering the wound had obvious blood stains. He looked a little tired, which really made people feel uneasy.
A dignified guerrilla general was injured, which showed the ferocity of the attacking Ming army. The magistrate and the garrison master felt that even if they think about it with their knees, they could imagine the battle more than an hour ago. Even if the Qing army really won,
It will only be a tragic victory, and the deputy general's rear is enough to prove it. And this tragic victory obviously only temporarily repelled the vanguard of the Ming army. As for the large army behind, just think about the magistrate.
The elder slumped down on the Grand Master's chair.
"Wang, what Wang Shuai means..."
Even the Fujian Green Battalion with 2,000 men was like this, let alone their 200-man garrison. The garrison asked the questions tremblingly, with hopes and prayers written all over the waves and particles in their eyes.
"Let's put it this way, my troops were ordered to come here to help with the defense. Now, the battle has ended like this..." As he said that, the guerrilla general glanced at his bandaged arm again: "Besides, the bandits'
The force is no longer what our department can withstand. If our department fights to the death, it can delay some time, but if we really want to defeat the bandits, we need more officers and soldiers from the court. As for our current behavior,
It is inevitable that the entire Jianchang Prefecture will fall, and even affect the overall war and defense situation in Jiangxi. We still need to join forces with Admiral Yang as soon as possible. Only by twisting eight or nine thousand troops into one rope can we have a chance to deal with the bandits."
What the guerrilla generals said is reasonable and reasonable. After fighting for the past few years, the ordinary Ming army still has a certain psychological advantage, but facing those famous Ming army generals, it is no longer what it used to be. Especially those who
The Ming army, Zheng Chenggong, Li Dingguo and now Chen Kai who defeated the Eight Banners Army have different reasons and degrees of fear, but if they really encounter them, they will always feel timid. After all, they are a group of green camp.
Just soldiers.
Guangdong Fubiao was an elite who had a lot of limelight on the Jiangxi battlefield. This time, another large army attacked, and most of the Green Camp in Guangchang County was already feeling cold. Now, the Fujian Green Camp won the bloody battle, but they did not hesitate to choose
To temporarily avoid the edge, the seriousness of the situation can be seen clearly.
The situation was like this and the military situation was urgent. Naturally, the guerrilla general did not dare to delay at all. He just made a notice and hurried back to the military camp with his soldiers.
When he returned to the military camp, he was still arranging evacuation-related matters. Based on the quick wits he learned last time in Baishui Town, the guerrilla general felt that he had made great progress in this military skill, even if it was still difficult to enter the world of famous generals.
Yes, but it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people. Naturally, the requirements and expectations for oneself are higher.
The fire in Baishui Town was obviously a stroke of genius for him. In conjunction with their previous hijacking of nearby ships, the Ming army's advance was inevitably slowed down a lot. However, time was still pressing, so he seized all the time to evacuate.
After everything was arranged, the deputy general also rushed back with his troops.
"The bandits' troops haven't come up yet, but Tan Ma has already made contact with the troops at the rear. We can't wait any longer and must evacuate immediately!"
The deputy general brought bad news. In fact, it is no wonder that the distance between Baishui Town and Guangchang County is only fifty or sixty miles. They had escaped back. Even if they set up a trap to delay the Ming army, in fact,
We can't buy much time. The time difference of these three hours is already expected.
"The bandits definitely want to build a military supplies transfer station in Baishui Town so that the army can further launch an offensive against Jianchang Prefecture. There is no need to wait for them to gnaw down the county towns and prefectures one by one. They may not even be able to capture Nanfeng County.
We have already withdrawn to Xincheng County, and Marshal Yang will naturally make the final decision on the rest."
This was his plan, and it was approved by the deputy general. However, even if it went smoothly, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart: "At their current speed, they are really fast enough."
Letting out a heartfelt sigh, the guerrilla general realized that his own performance so far was also very good. Apart from other things, from the time he led his troops southward, he was always ahead of the Ming army, even if he had to.
Retreat is also a matter of strength gap, not his ability. Just thinking about it, an idea popped into his mind - since he can figure things out so clearly from the perspective of the Ming army, he can really do it.
