Chapter 65 The old trick is repeated (10)

"This is absolutely impossible!"

They were looking forward to Chen Kai's hard work of skewering candied haws on the Jianchang River day and night. As long as the Ming army approached Jianchangfu City, they could mobilize all their troops to watch - while waving flags and cheering for the weak Jianchangfu Green Camp, It would strain the energy of the powerful enemy of the Ming army and not allow either side to have a chance to win. When both sides are exhausted, they could then strike the fatal blow and achieve a complete victory.

However, now the Ming army is actually isolated under Guangchang County by a mere two hundred Qing troops. If it is understandable that the two hundred Bajala white-armored soldiers are elites selected from thousands of Manchurian Eight Banners. How could those two hundred green camp soldiers, who were neglectful of battle formations and could bully the common people on weekdays, stop Chen Kai's favorite generals and the tiger and wolf troops in Fubiao, Guangdong?

Why!

"I have heard from lower officials that Lin Dezhong is known for his caution in using troops. Could it be..."

"Impossible. No matter how careful Lin is, thousands of elite bandits from Fubiao, Guangdong, can easily control the two hundred people in Guangchang County, which is in disrepair. How is it possible? Is there any reason why I can’t take it off?”

Chen Kai's methods are known to all the big shots in the southeastern provinces. Even if Chen Kai didn't come, we can put aside these things for the time being. Lin Dezhong is also Chen Kai's accustomed trusted commander. No matter how incompetent he is, he will go on an expedition Former General Manager Chen Kai must have had some face-to-face instructions and other operations. He has been leading troops for so many years, so he should be able to execute them.

Tong Guoqi and the others couldn't understand how such an anecdote came about. As upright as they were, they couldn't even develop any feelings like sharing the same hatred and hatred, and being proud of each other.

This is not because they were eating everything from food to food, or that they collectively suffered from some incurable disease such as Stockholm Syndrome. It is just that the Ming army did not attack the southern county of Jianchang Prefecture as they expected, and finally reached the city. So All their plans will come to nothing - making meritorious deeds can cover up all the ugliness, and it is also a good opportunity to turn around; if there is no meritorious service, then they, a group of bereaved dogs whose grandma doesn't care for their uncle and don't love them, will probably die. There may not even be a way to survive.

At this moment, they are already like gamblers who have lost their sights. But if the situation fails to develop as they expected even in the slightest, they will be overwhelmed by anxiety and blindness in an instant.

They were nervously thinking about what went wrong, and their exhaustive thinking could only barely describe their current state. At the same time, along with these unwarranted introspections and speculations, the huge pressure deep in their hearts drove them instinctively. They continued to send more envoys and spies to Jianchang Fucheng, but what they got was still incredible. The Ming army suddenly invaded Guangchang County.

In the lobby of the Admiral's Yamen, the footsteps are short, urgent, and messy. From time to time, they are briefly interrupted by the sound of collisions, and then continue to be short, urgent, and messy. The big mouth of the dry pipe is chewing, and the smoke is exhaled. The entire lobby was shrouded in mist. If you look closely, you won't know that they are just smoking cigarettes. All the civil and military officials inside have thrown aside their official hat tops, and sweat is already steaming from their pores. The money rat tail on the back of his head was wet.

The military generals have long since lost their composure that would remain unchanged even when Mount Tai collapsed, and the civil servants have long since forgotten their Confucian demeanor and Qi-nurturing skills. There were shouts of drinking and cursing for more tea, and the servants' The fear intensified the shortness, urgency, confusion, mist, and anxiety. The two big words almost sprayed out along the cracks in the tiles and shot straight into the sky.

Over the past two days, they have been reporting here every day. The situation has been like this every day. Only when the news comes, the light of hope faintly shines through one or two, and there will be a pause of ten or so due to expectation.

After just one breath, it returned to its original state. Yes, it was just that the word "anxiety" was written a little deeper.

It was so dull that it was hard to breathe. Such a scene was extremely difficult to endure, but whoever wanted to do this was not forced by the situation. Until, in the direction of the host, the tea cup was crushed, and blood flowed down the fist.

The cracks dripped onto the table, and the owner of the rough hands suddenly woke up.

"No, Chen Kai's target is not Ji'an's army, let alone this bullshit Jianchang Mansion!"

………………

"By this time, Yang Minggao should have figured it out."

"Haha, you can't be wrong." Lin Dezhong, the chief soldier of the first town of Dubiao, Guangdong and Jiangxi, said with a smile: "Otherwise, if you haven't figured it out by now, Yang Minggao, haha, it is better to change his name to Yang Hao. At least write his name.

Wouldn't it be nice if there were fewer words for time?"

The laughter of the chief military officer and the deputy general was full of disdain for the civilian manager who ruined the Liaodong war situation. This does not need to taboo the senses of Chen Kai, who is also a civilian supervisor of the army, because of his contempt for Yang Hao,

This is what Chen Kai clearly demonstrated in his review of major battles since the Liao Dynasty.

In particular, he expressed great disdain for the bizarre strategy of attacking in four directions, dividing the troops to attack together, with the generals not controlling each other, and each army being hundreds of miles apart, unable to rush to rescue in time - you know, it has already corrupted the state affairs once in North Korea.

Comrade Yang Hao's opponent Nurhachi was the godson of the famous general Li Chengliang. Under his protection, he gradually unified the Jurchen tribes and was an old soldier who had been fighting for decades. Within the Ming court, some people had already predicted that Yang Hao's strategy would inevitably fail.

, for example, Xu Guangqi, who later joined the cabinet to serve as prime minister, once criticized "the idea of ​​advancing troops from four directions is a big mistake" and predicted that Nurhaci would definitely "merge troops to respond to one direction, and the one who succeeds will be General Du."

"The so-called tactics, in the final analysis, are to find ways to concentrate superior forces at critical times and key locations to defeat the opponent. Thus, through tactical victory, the strategic goal can be achieved."

This was Chen Kai's summary at the time. Lin Dezhong and Wang Han naturally remembered this. Moreover, they clearly remembered that Chen Kai had made it clear that the supervisors should choose those who had systematically studied military theory and had been in the military for a long time.

Civil servants who practice and can listen to the advice of front-line military commanders, rather than who can memorize the military manuals backwards and forwards, can be called "knowing soldiers" - Sun Wuzi may not be able to memorize all the military manuals written by himself. Could it be that Sun Wu

Don’t you know how to fight?

It is a pity that the Ming Dynasty in the forty-sixth year of Wanli can no longer find outstanding civil servants like Wang Shouren, Wang Yue, Hu Zongxian, and Tan Lun who can truly lead or assist military commanders to win. For example, "If you stay in Liao, Liao will be saved; if you go to Liao, Liao will be saved."

Xiong Tingbi, who was killed, and Sun Chengzong, who built the Guanning Army field group and was magnanimous enough to listen to the opinions of front-line generals, have not yet emerged. Not to mention Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting and others. So in North Korea,

Yang Hao, who had already corrupted the affairs of the state, finally succeeded in defeating the general and became a phoenix in the chicken coop...

The corruption of the Liao Dynasty was ultimately due to the long-established system. The symptoms were the privatization of the army and the side effects of using civil society to control military affairs. Lin Dezhong and Wang Han were undoubtedly lucky because their commander-in-chief was the leader of the Ming Dynasty who had conquered the Ming Dynasty since the Southern Ming Dynasty.

The most capable civil servants, even in the previous two hundred and seventy-six years, there were very few people like him. Today, they are even more confident to sneak here, and they will insert the Qing Dynasty's battlefield in Jiangxi like a sharp knife.

Weaknesses!

"Based on the defeated generals in Fujian, the general is willing to line up his troops and horses here and defeat them with one drum. Why use a bull's knife to kill a chicken?"

On the south side of the official road from Xincheng County to Deshengguan, a large number of Ming troops crossed the river next to the official road and began to line up on the official road according to battalion organization.

Since the main opponent of Fujian Green Camp has always been Wang Xiuqi, who is stationed in Shaowu Mansion, the Qing army's defensive focus on the Shanling line is also located at Shangguan in the northeast of Xincheng County - on the other side of the mountains, it can rely on Xixi

It goes directly to Guangze County in Shaowu Prefecture. Therefore, compared with other passes, Shangguan is more likely to face the threat of the main force of the Ming army.

Fujian Lvying worked diligently to build it into an impregnable place. In comparison, the importance of Deshengguan is much lower, and the degree of attention is naturally proportional. Moreover, it is located in the southeast of Xincheng County, which is very important for people from the south.

It was also easier for the Ming army to cross. Therefore, when the Ming army arrived here, it was not only the defenders of Desheng Pass who were shocked, but also the Fujian Green Camp army entrenched in Xincheng County.

"When a lion fights a rabbit, he must use all his strength. Wang Shuai must still do it with reluctance."

Lin Dezhong naturally understood Wang Han's eagerness to perform meritorious deeds, especially when the Qing army escaped in front of their eyes in the first battle. Even though the appearance of the Qing army was beyond their initial expectations, they even got the result after they had already launched an operation.

Relevant information, such eagerness to prove oneself is also unavoidable.

However, although after defeating Suksaha's Eight Banners Army in southern Gansu, Fu Biao had already felt that "our army can defeat the Eight Banners, and its combat power is ten times that of the Green Camp" regarding the combat power of the Green Camp. However, Yang Minggao

After all, he is a veteran, and this action was intended to completely open up the situation. There must be no mistakes. Therefore, Lin Dezhong politely declined Wang Han's request to fight. The latter also said "obey" and immediately followed the original plan.

The plan was launched to attack Desheng Pass.

The Right Association directly under the supervision of the Guangdong and Jiangxi governors strode toward the southeast. Lin Dezhong looked at their neat formation and turned his head. The first town under his command also formed a team quickly on the official road under the leadership of the officers.
