When Wu Sangui received Apiger's first order, he was in Yizhen in Yizhen and attacked Yangzhou.!.
With the beginning of the Qing army's second southern convention, Wu Sangui also actively expanded his strength. After defeating Li Zicheng, he also compiled the Da Shun army, and then settled Liu Zeqing. At this time, Wu Sangui
The total strength of the troops has exceeded 130,000. After capturing Sizhou, after the two places, Wu Sangui also put the next goal in Yangzhou. On the one hand, Yangzhou is Jiangbei Chongzhen, the place is Yuyu, and the second is also Wu Sangui's ancestral home.
It was Yangzhou Gaoyou, and Yijin returning his hometown was a fast life. At the same time, Wu Sangui also planned to be in Yangzhou, just like the Qing Dynasty asked to order Yangzhou to himself, and at the same time as his own foundation.
Because of the successful attack on Sizhou, Wu Sangui is also confident in attacking Yangzhou. This is not that he is not looking at the combat effectiveness of the merchant army, but the main force of the merchant army is now in Jiangnan.
It is less than 40,000, and it is divided into Yangzhou and Huai'an. The Qing Army concentrated nearly 250,000 troops in Jiangbei.
Army's strength.
However, Wu Sangui did not expect that at this time, Luo Yuanbin was instructed by Shang Yi, and decisively abandoned the Huai'an Mansion, concentrated the strength of the army in Yangzhou Mansion.
A infantry brigade, and another infantry division as a maneuverability. All to guard Yangzhou government.
In fact, once again, when the merchant army had enough troops to carry out the defensive city, it was difficult for the Qing army to break through. Although there are many people under Wu Sangui, there are not many firearms.
The 80,000 troops were concentrated, and they attacked Yangzhou from both sides. In the face of dense firepower and strict defense of the merchant army, they attacked for three days in a row. There were more than 10,000 troops, but there was no chance at all.
On the other hand, Duo Duo won the Huai'an on the Blood Blade, disconnected the Lianxian of the Southern Jiangsu and Lunan regions of the Merchant Army, but on the one hand, it was necessary to cope with Zhou Shao's offensive from Lunan, and on the other hand, we must consolidate Huai'an.
The prefecture's defense, and charged Suqian, Lazhou, Haizhou and other places, so he could no longer send troops to cooperate with Wu Sangui to attack Yangzhou. As a result, the merchant army guarded the merchant of Gaoyou took the opportunity to remit the mobility and attack Wu Sangui's side.
The plan to attack Yangzhou ended with failure.
At this time, Wu Sangui knew that the merchant's army used the name of firearms. It was really not a virtual spread. It happened that Azig's order was also passed on to him. Although Wu Sangui was unwilling to give up the attack in Yangzhou, it was really difficult for Yangzhou to attack.
In the following, continue to attack, it will only damage the soldiers and consume your own strength. Second, with your current strength, it is not enough to have a positive conflict with the Qing court. Therefore, it is just that this troops can be used to withdraw from Luzhou and arranged the affairs of the south.
Along the way, the people who support Nanjing are still happy Aziger. Now Nanjing is also in a hurry. It is very anxious. In a row, it urged Wu Sangui to cross the river as soon as possible. Therefore, Wu Sangui also ordered immediately to collect the ships, divided into Jiangpu, and the state.
Crossing the river, ready to enter Jiangnan to fight, of course, there was enough troops in Luzhou.
————————————————————————————————————————
After receiving the report, Shang Yi also relieved and attracted Wu Sangui to the Jiangnan battlefield. It can also alleviate the pressure of the Jiangbei battlefield. Although the Huai'an was lost, the two battlefields of the Merchant Army were completely disconnected.
However, because the merchant army is now using the flying pigeons, and there is a sea road to be available, the actual influence is not great, and after the Huai'an lost, the Second Army can defend Yangzhou wholeheartedly, not only shortening its own front, but also Wu Sangui
After the south of the tribe, the Qing army's troops in Jiangbei had to be reduced by nearly half, and now they must be decentralized to the Huai'an Mansion, which is also conducive to the next step of the Qing army of the Jiangbei battlefield.
However, although the Merchant Army's ambush Shangkexi has achieved victory, it has only delayed the time when the stills of the Shang Kexi Ministry eastward.
After the lesson, he will definitely be cautious and want to ambush him again. I am afraid it is not easy. After the crossing the river, the pressure of the Jiangnan battlefield will increase significantly, so the future battle will not be easy.
However, this situation is basically in Shangyi's expectations. First of all, Wu, two people and horses enter the combat state.
The front line of the army will be further stretched, and it can attack from the Yangtze River and go deep into the rear of the army. Therefore, Shang Yi looked at the map, Nanjing, Taipingzhou, Hezhou, Luzhou, Chizhou, Anqing Mansion, what is the thing, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the thing, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the reason, what is the thing?
Huguang, these places on both sides of the Yangtze River can be the goal of the merchant army attack.
At this moment, Shang Yi suddenly flashed, a bold plan, formed in Shang Yi's mind.
Shang Yi knew that in the past two years of the 1947,194 of the other time and space, the Taizu ancestors at the time also faced a very severe military situation. Therefore, he had proposed a bold plan to send about 100,000 troops through the Yangtze River
Establish two to three bases in the Jiangnan area. On the one hand, a knife is inserted behind the opponent's empty strength, and on the other hand, it can also burn the war of war to the rear of the enemy to reduce the pressure on the front battlefield.
It was not executed, and one of the biggest reason was that the ancestors at the time lacked a public foundation in the Jiangnan region.
The situation faced by Shang Yi is quite similar to the at that time. It was facing the aggressive offensive of the enemy. The situation was very grim, and the enemy's strength was also too concentrated in the junction of both sides.
, Display a army, against the river, establishing an enemy combat zone in Hubei, and must be able to disrupt the arrangement of the Qing army.
Geographically, the Hubei area is the real central area of China. It is in all directions and is easy to attack and difficult to keep. It is in the northeast, which is the famous Dabie Mountain area of later generations.
It can be stationed. Therefore, if there is a man in this area of mountainous areas, in the way of guerrilla warfare, strikes on all sides, and constantly hit the rear of disturbing the Qing army, it will definitely cause the Qing army to have a headache, which can greatly reduce the pressure of the Zhejiang battlefield.
Then, then
Now Shangyi occupies the entrance to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the Hubei area is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and the merchant army has an absolute advantage on the surface. Therefore, the two sides can not only echo each other, but also make the merchant army in Hubei region supplement from Zhejiang. In addition
For example, the fruits of the merchants in the Hubei area can't persist, and they can also take them back to Zhejiang.
In addition, in terms of the foundation of the people, Shang Yi faced a much better situation, because when it was just south, the Merchant Army had been stationed in Hubei for several months, and in this era
It is an authentic alien family. The merchant army is not only the Han army of the Han nationality, but also represents the Ming court, plus the mass policy of the merchant army.
The support of the local people, stand firmly.
Of course, this is indeed a very dangerous fact. It is possible that it is not possible to cover the entire army, and now it is just a concept of Shang Yi. If you want to implement it, you still need to formulate a detailed plan. At the same time, implement it.
The candidates of this plan should also consider it. Fortunately, there is still time now, which can let Shang Yi come to think slowly. The current priority is to block Wu Sangui.
Although Wu Sangui's people cross the river to fight the river, Shang Yi has been prepared, but this does not mean that Wu Sangui will easily pass through the Yangtze River.
When crossing the river, the crossing the river fleet that attacked him can not only eliminate some of Wu Sangui's troops, but also delay the time of Wu Sangui crossing the river, so that you can have more time to prepare.
It's the same.
Therefore, Shang Yi learned that Wu Sangui's people crossed the river in Jiangpu, and immediately ordered the water army to attack and attack Wu Sangui's crossing rivers.
Jiangpu traveled more than 20 miles in Nanjing. After Huang Zhen was ordered, he led the water army against the river. It took less than an hour to reach the Jiangpu area in Jiangpu. It really found that the Qing army was crossing the Yangtze River.
Huang Zhen immediately ordered the fleet to line up into a column, plugged into the army of the Crossing River, and then fired left and right to bombard the Qing army's crossing the river.
The Qing army was not prepared. The second ship used for crossing the river was a temporary -loading folk ship. There was no armed weapon at all. Therefore, it was fighting in the river.
The ship was hit into the bottom of the river. When the other vessels saw it, they were scared to lean on their own. They did not dare to cross the river easily.
As a result, the Qing army was sunk a total of 51 ships, and more than 3,000 soldiers were killed, but only more than 5,000 people have been sent in the past. Other people are still blocked on the north bank of the Yangtze River.
I did not dare to continue crossing the river in Jiangpu, so I had to lead the army to move westward, as far as possible as possible, and choose other places to cross the river again.
Find the opportunity to attack the Qing army crossing the river.
