Not long after, someone sent the company came back to report that the city was an empty city, but there was no plan, because the Sichuan army had already run away.
It turned out that I learned that the Chinese army sent troops from Qianjiang and captured Qianjiang, Pengshui and Wulong counties, and had already approached Fuzhou, which scared Zheng Yin, the governor of Fuzhou, because Fuzhou was already in Sichuan, so the city was
There were only more than 2,000 defenders in the area, and they were all local security troops, and their combat effectiveness was not strong. Therefore, Zheng Yin hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Chongqing, which is close to Fuzhou.
But after the prefect of Chongqing Wang Cheng accepted Zheng Yin's emergency, he didn't believe it at all, because the Chinese army is now blocked by the Sichuan army in the area around Kuizhou Prefecture. How could it be that it suddenly came to Fuzhou? This is definitely Zheng Yin
Lies about military information.
Of course, even if Wang Cheng believes that what Zheng Yin said is true, he will not send troops to rescue Fuzhou, because Chongqing does not have many troops, and Fuzhou is only more than 130 miles away from Chongqing, and the Yangtze River waterway is connected.
If the Chinese army really kills Fuzhou, then you can reach Chongqing in at most two days. Therefore, once you send troops to rescue Fuzhou, what should you do if the Chinese army divides its troops to take their own Chongqing? It is not your responsibility to lose Fuzhou.
If Chongqing has lost money, then you can have trouble. Chongqing is one of the two core cities in Sichuan. Once it is lost, Wu Sangui must kill him. Of course, he will not put Chongqing in danger for the sake of Fuzhou.
Zheng Yin was in Fuzhou City, hoping that Chongqing would send troops to rescue him. He was looking forward to the hope of missing out. But the reinforcements were gone, but the Chinese army had already come to kill him. After Zheng Yin had no choice but to give up Fuzhou and lead the army.
After fleeing to Chongqing, the Chinese army occupied Fuzhou without any bloodshed.
At this time, Duan Peng's army faced a situation that, in the east, they could cooperate with the Huguang Military Region of Kuizhou, attack the Hu Guozhu's army of the Sichuan Army in Zhongzhou, and in the west, they could directly attack Chongqing. Therefore, Duan Peng was also seriously thinking about the next direction of march.
Although at this time, both Chinese troops had penetrated into Sichuan and achieved good results. On the whole, the Chinese army was dominant, but the situation in Sichuan is now very complicated. The Chinese army and Sichuan army are intertwined.
Is it true that you have me and I have you. Although Hu Guozhu's troops stationed in Zhongzhou were attacked by the two armies of the Chinese army, Duan Peng's troops were also in the middle of Chongqing and Zhongzhou.
In a position where he was attacked. If Duan Peng rashly attacked Chongqing, he would be likely to be attacked by the Sichuan army in Zhongzhou, or Qianjiang, Pengshui and other places, and the logistics supply line was cut off.
Of course, if the two Chinese armies could cooperate with each other and arrange them properly at this time, there would be a great opportunity for the fighter. However, due to the inconvenience of communication in this era, the two Chinese armies had almost no connection after entering Sichuan, and Duan Peng also
Generally, the location of the Huguang Military Region troops was known, while the chief general of the other route, Li Mou, still knew nothing about the progress of Duan Peng's troops. In contrast, the communication between the Sichuan Army units was much more convenient because
It was their territory.
Therefore, Duan Peng also believes that before the next step of march, the first thing to do is to contact the Chinese army on the other side as soon as possible and communicate with each other so as to grasp the battle situation as a whole and determine the direction of the next attack.
Now the distance between Fuzhou where Duan Peng's troops is located is not far from Kuizhou Prefecture. The closest point between the two sides is only more than 200 miles, but both are in the middle of the Sichuan Army. Therefore, Duan Peng also sent three batches of scouts.
The two men were criticized, and they brought three carrier pigeons to Kuizhou Prefecture to find the troops of the Huguang Military Region, so as to be able to contact them and inform them of their progress. As long as there are a group of scouts who can find the troops of the Huguang Military Region, they will go to each other.
In the meantime, you can use Fei Ge to send a letter to communicate. It takes only a few hours to reach a distance of two or three hundred miles.
Before contacting the troops of the Huguang Military Region, Duan Peng also temporarily stationed the Chinese army's large groups along the Fuling River area, strictly guarding the currently occupied areas, and transporting medium and heavy artillery, gunpowder and other items into the market as soon as possible as possible Come to Sichuan.
The two Chinese army members do not know the other party's situation at the moment, but Hu Guozhu's troops in the Sichuan Army in Zhongzhou also knew that they were in the position of the Chinese army attacking each other in front and back, so he did not dare to act rashly, and the prefect of Chongqing, Wang Cheng, sent to Chengdu early. In an emergency, there are only more than 10,000 defenders in Chongqing now, so Wang Cheng certainly dared not take the initiative. He strengthened his defense in the city every day, waiting for reinforcements to be sent from Chengdu.
Three days later, a group of Chinese army scouts finally broke through the Sichuan Army and sent Duan Peng's letter to Li Mou. After learning about the progress of Duan Peng's army, Li Mou couldn't help but be overjoyed because he is blocking China now. The army's strength is 150,000, almost twice that of the Chinese army, and it has defended various dangerous passes and intersections. Although the Chinese army has high-level weapons, it has launched several attacks but has not made much progress. When Mou was worried, Duan Peng from the other side successfully entered Sichuan. For Li Mou, he immediately discovered the opportunity of the fighter.
Hu Guozhu's troops in Chuanchuan are located in the middle of the attacks of two Chinese troops, with a total force of about 60,000. If this Sichuan army can be annihilated first, it can open up the ground connection between the two Chinese troops, and it can also be It caused heavy damage to the Sichuan army and is expected to break through the Sichuan army's defense line in one fell swoop and then recover the entire Sichuan Province.
However, Hu Guozhu's troops must have known their situation now, so they are likely to give up Zhongzhou, retreat to Dianjiang, rely on Qu County to reorganize the defense line, so that although the two Chinese troops can obtain ground communication, But the defense line of Chuan Junyou is still very solid and dense, and it is not easy to fight.
Therefore, after carefully analyzing the current distribution of troops on both sides, Li Mou also formulated a plan to cooperate with the two Chinese troops to annihilate Hu Guozhu's troops: First, Duan Peng will draw out the troops of one division or two brigades and grab the troops in the battle. In front of Hu Guozhu's army, he went to occupy Dianjiang County, cut off the retreat route of Hu Guozhu's army, and then dispatched about one army to attack Zhongzhou from the south; while Li Mou's side dispatched two army troops to attack Zhongzhou from the north, He also sent troops to restrain the Sichuan army in Qu County. If Hu Guozhu's troops had withdrawn from Zhongzhou, the troops occupying Dianjiang County would stop them in Dianjiang. The two Chinese troops worked together to pursue and encircled and annihilated Hu Guozhu's troops in Dianjiang County.
Just in the afternoon of the same day, Duan Peng received a letter from Li Mou and immediately sent a reply to Li Mou, expressing his agreement with Li Mou's plan and agreed that the two Chinese troops would act together tomorrow morning.
After releasing the pigeon, Duan Peng immediately began to dispatch troops and prepare to attack. In the previous stage of the battle, the special forces division that fought the vanguard suffered almost no losses. After a few days of rest in Fuzhou, the soldiers' All the physical strength has been recovered. At the same time, the arrival of the brigade has also transported a batch of medium and heavy artillery, thunder rockets and other weapons. Therefore, the entire army basically maintained full combat effectiveness. When they heard that they were going to send troops to fight again, the entire army was Morale is very high, and they all hope to allocate the task of attacking and attacking to their own troops.
Dianjiang County is only more than 100 miles away from Fuzhou, so Duan Peng still handed over the task of raiding Dianjiang County to the Special Forces Division to complete it. However, this time he led the team to He Chong, deputy commander of Nanjing Military Region, and Duan Peng led the second one.
The 10th Army attacked Zhongzhou, and the remaining two brigades of the Seventh Army were stationed in Fuzhou and other places to prevent the Sichuan Army from attacking in Chongqing.
On the other hand, Li Mou also dispatched the Eighth Army of the Huguang Military Region, the Twenty-Two Army attacked Zhongzhou, and the Thirteenth Army was responsible for restraining the Sichuan Army of Qu County. In this way, the total strength of the two Chinese troops was about 80,000, and
The Sichuan Army in Zhongzhou has only 60,000. Considering the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides, the Chinese Army can be said to be sure to win this battle.
The two Chinese troops arrived in front of Zhongzhou almost at the same time, but at this time Zhongzhou was an empty city. The Sichuan army guarding Zhongzhou had already abandoned the city and fled. However, the two Chinese troops arrived victoriously and met in Zhongzhou.
After Duan Peng and Li Mou met, they immediately marched separately and pursued the Sichuan Army.
It turned out that just when the two Chinese troops were preparing to attack Zhongzhou together, Hu Guozhu, stationed in Zhongzhou, also received a general order from Wu Sangui, ordering him to give up Zhongzhou and immediately withdraw to Dianjiang County to garrison. After receiving the order, Hu Guozhu also replied.
He breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, he was also quite nervous in the past few days because he was under the attack of the Chinese army on both sides. After looking back on the achievements over the past few years, there was no army that could have been able to do so under such circumstances.
Keep it.
Moreover, although Hu Guozhu built a large number of fortifications in Zhongzhou, they were all aimed at the Chinese army in the north, but there was no defense in the south, which was equivalent to selling his back to the Chinese army.
If the Chinese army launched an attack from north to south at this time, it would be difficult for it to resist it. Therefore, after receiving Wu Sangui's order, Hu Guozhu did not delay for a moment and immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops from Zhongzhou and to Dianjiang County.
The direction shifted. Therefore, the Chinese army attacking Zhongzhou was empty.
But Hu Guozhu, who escaped the attack of the Chinese army, did not expect that on the other side, the Chinese army's special forces division took the lead and occupied Dianjiang County. At this time, Hu Guozhu's troops were also intercepted in front.
In the extreme dilemma of pursuing soldiers, Hu Guozhu had no choice but to ask for help from Prime Minister Xia of Qu County and launch an attack on Dianjiang County.
In fact, the Chinese army occupied Dianjiang County only less than an hour earlier than Hu Guozhu's troops, because they arrived at Dianjiang County almost at the same time, but the difference between this one hour was very different.
Although the Chinese army did not actually completely control the situation in Dianjiang County at this time, the city walls and four gates in Dianjiang County had been occupied by the Chinese army, so the final situation was that the Sichuan army attacked and the Chinese army lived in the city.
