No one expected that the Ming army's offensive would be so fast.
"Director Hong, Your Majesty! Battle reports are coming from the front line!"
Hong Chengchou and Duoduo, who were marching towards Shunde Mansion, received another news in the military camp.
"What?? Five counties in Shunde Prefecture have already fallen?? It's only been a few days???"
Duduo's expression suddenly changed, he looked at the several detective horses in front of him and said.
Tan Ma had a hesitant look in his eyes and said nothing.
"What should we do? Governor Hong!"
Duduo frowned with an ugly expression and asked Hong Chengchou in front of him.
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment. He looked at the Tanma in front of him and asked, "Where are the reinforcements? Where have they arrived?"
Tan Ma pondered for a moment, looked at Hong Chengchou and Duoduo in front of him and said: "The reinforcements sent by the capital are almost at Shunde Mansion now!
It’s the 20,000 cavalry led by Prince Azige! They should have almost arrived at Shunde Mansion now!”
Hearing Tan Ma's words in front of him, Hong Chengchou nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's hurry up and speed up our march!"
Duduo said to Hong Chengchou in front of him with a serious face.
"No rush!"
At this time, Hong Chengchou waved his hand.
"Open the map!"
At this time, Hong Chengchou said to a subordinate next to him with a serious face.
"Yes! General!"
Soon, a huge map appeared in front of Hong Chengchou and Duo Duo.
"Director Hong, what do you mean?"
Duduo frowned slightly and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
At this time, Hong Chengchou looked at the map in front of him with a thoughtful look in his eyes, and suddenly asked Duduo on the side: "Your Majesty, if we go to Shunde Mansion at this time, what can we do?"
Duduo was stunned for a moment, and said to Hong Chengchou with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Of course it is to thwart the Ming army's plan to capture Shunde Mansion! Shunde Mansion is in danger now, and we certainly cannot let the Ming army capture Shunde Mansion.
!
Otherwise, the Ming army's troops will be directed towards Zhending Mansion, and we will be in big trouble then!"
"Then may I ask, Your Majesty, if we organize the Ming army's advance, what will we do next?"
Hong Chengchou continued to ask Duduo.
Duduo was stunned for a moment. He pondered for a moment, looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him and said, "Of course we will fight back and take back Guangping Mansion. If there is a chance, we can even take back Daming Mansion!"
"What if I have a way to solve these problems once and for all??"
Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed with light, he looked at Duduo in front of him and said.
Duduo was stunned for a moment, looking at Hong Chengchou in front of him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"What do you think, Governor Hong??"
Duduo hesitated for a moment and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
"Since our goal is Daming Mansion, what if we choose to penetrate Daming Mansion directly from the beginning and cut off the retreat of the Second Guards Army!"
Hong Chengchou looked at Duduo in front of him with light in his eyes.
"If we can encircle Daming Prefecture, then the siege of Shunde Prefecture can be easily solved! The Ming army will definitely turn back when the time comes. We will ambush halfway. When the time comes, we will win a big victory!"
After hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Duduo showed hesitation in his eyes.
"However, the road we have to go to Daming Mansion is far away, and even if we can get there, the Ming army will occupy the territory along the way. What will happen to our supplies then? The supplies for an army of 50,000 are not a small amount.
The Ming army only needs to cut off our supplies. When we don't have enough supplies, we will have no choice but to collapse!"
Duduo was not frightened by Hong Chengchou's words. At this time, Duduo's eyes were filled with hesitation as he looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him.
He felt that Hong Chengchou's idea was too unreasonable.
"And if we attack each county town one by one, Shunde Prefecture may be about to fall by that time, and with such a big fanfare, we may not be able to get close to Daming Prefecture!"
Duduo looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
The siege during this period made Dodo a little scared.
It is really difficult to attack the city.
The idea of directly capturing Daming Mansion that Hong Chengchou mentioned sounds good, but it is extremely difficult to implement.
In Dodo's view, it is almost impossible to achieve.
Hong Chengchou smiled slightly, looked at Duduo in front of him and said.
"It is indeed difficult, but if we want an unprecedented victory, we must make dangerous moves! If we send troops according to the original situation, it is very likely that we will be able to repel the Ming army at best, but we will fall into the Ming army.
within the rhythm.
Don't forget, the First Guards Army of the Ming Army has not yet taken action! What's more, no one in Zhu Ming knows whether they have reserve strength. If we want to defeat them, we have to drag them into our rhythm.
!”
Hong Chengchou looked at Duduo in front of him seriously and said.
At this time, Duduo had a hesitant look in his eyes.
"But... the emperor asked us to directly outflank the retreat of the Second Guards Army. Let's do this..."
"Going to Daming Mansion is also about outflanking their retreat, but in this case, it's just a big detour!"
Hong Chengchou calmly looked at Duduo in front of him.
Duduo's expression changed for a while.
"Okay! Just do what you want! I'll go talk to the emperor brother!"
Duduo looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him seriously.
"Hong Chengchou, don't let me down! I have 100% trust in you, and I hope you can lead the Qing Dynasty to a great victory this time! If we win this time, I can personally tell my brother that I will make you king.
Lord!"
With a smile on his face, Duduo said to Hong Chengchou in front of him.
"Don't dare to be a humble minister!"
Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed with joy, but his face did show that he was flattered.
"Okay, if you can fight well this time, you deserve it!"
The Qing army soon began to move quickly, turned around, and began to march directly towards Daming Mansion.
Under the sunset, Shunde Mansion.
The setting sun is like blood.
There were shouts of killing everywhere. Quite a few Qing troops had already entered Shunde Prefecture and were resisting fiercely because there were many Qing troops in Shunde Prefecture.
Those Shanxi merchants couldn't find any chance to trick the city gate into opening.
Right now, a fierce tug-of-war is going on.
“Where are Hong Chengchou’s troops??”
Li Dashan frowned and looked at Ye Busheng in front of him and asked.
"General Qi, Hong Chengchou and their troops, we have lost sight of them."
The few people in front of me didn't stop, with a look of shame on their faces.
"What?? An army of 50,000 people, plus a supply camp of nearly 70,000 people. How could you actually lose such a huge team?"
Li Dashan's eyes flashed with anger, and he looked coldly at the few people in front of him.
