On August 13, Wei Ze left Nanjing and returned to Yangzhou. When he arrived at the Yangzhou wharf, it was almost dark. Chief of Staff Ruan Xihao was waiting on the dock, and as soon as he saw Wei Ze, he said with joy on his face: "Report to King Qi, we have annihilated four thousand Qing Demon Elites!" ”

Annihilated 4,000 Qing troops, still elite. When this news came out of Ruan Xihao's mouth, Wei Ze couldn't help but believe it. But Wei Ze really didn't dare to believe that this was true, unless the Qing army took the initiative to attack Yangzhou, even if it was four thousand pigs, it would be impossible for Ruan Xihao, who had just arrived in Yangzhou, to solve it so easily.

Ruan Xihao excitedly explained: "When the Qing Demon learned that our army had arrived in Yangzhou, he immediately sent four thousand people to attack. You must be trying to give us a kick, right? Now that they're here, we're going to have to fight. Artillery, cavalry, and infantry all coordinated well. In one fell swoop, all the Qing troops who came came were wrapped in wontons. ”

"What is the level of combat effectiveness of the Qing army?" It was this question that Weeser was most concerned about. Either way, any force that dares to attack has a chance to win.

Ruan Xihao looked at Wei Ze's concerned expression, and he said with a smile: "Is the combat effectiveness ......, the organizational level of the battle is even worse than that of the Qing army led by He Chun." When fighting, they are not clever enough, and they shrink their troops as soon as they are beaten. By the time we completely surrounded them, they hadn't figured out what was going on. ”

At this time, there were no other Taiping army people on the dock, so Ruan Xihao said very tactfully: "I asked others whether the Qing army has always done this, or has it done it occasionally. According to the Taiping brothers in Yangzhou City, these Qing troops often tried to attack the city, although many times they were just going through the motions, but they were still on the offensive. It seems that only in Yangzhou can the Qing army of such a level show off its might. ”

Wei Ze frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the Qing army in the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei would be arrogant enough to dare to take the initiative to attack, which was great news. It would be too time-consuming to let Wei Ze go everywhere to break through the camps of the Qing army, and after the Qing army took the initiative to send it to the door, it could greatly improve Wei Ze's combat efficiency. According to the information gathered, it is said that the strength of the Qing army's Jiangbei battalion was between 13,400 and 340,000 people. Even according to the highest standard, 30,000 or 40,000 Qing troops, this guy annihilated one-tenth of the Qing army.

"As long as the level of the Qing army can be determined, no matter how they mixed here before, they will not have a chance to show off here in the future." Wei Ze said to Ruan Xihao.

Back at the General Staff, all the generals were full of enthusiasm, and they looked like they were going to immediately send troops to destroy this dynasty. Wei Ze asked everyone to sit down, and he said sternly: "Last time we carried out the battle to encircle and annihilate Hechun, each unit completed its own combat mission, so Hechun's troops were completely annihilated by us. This time to make a battle plan, we still have to do it. Every unit was to be given a clear order to fight. Every battle order is a link in the whole battle plan, and this is like an iron chain, without any buckle, the chain will be broken. But if every link is fine, when the chains are tightened, you can strangle your enemies to death! How to make a military plan, I'll see you do it! ”

Wei Changrong reacted the fastest, and he hurriedly asked, "King Qi, are you saying that you won't participate in this battle plan, let us do it?" ”

Weser nodded, "That's right! It is you who draw up a battle plan according to the principles I have taught you. Before this battle is over, I just look at it and ask some questions, but I don't have to say what I think. Do it yourself! ”

As soon as the generals heard Wei Ze's words, everyone looked at each other. Some people were very stunned, Wei Ze had never been so picky. There was a faint joy in some people's expressions, and it seemed that they wanted to show their strength. Others took a dipping pen and recorded what Wei Ze had just said about strategy.

"Then I'll ask the first question now," Weeser began, "when are you going to start making your battle plan?" ”

The Jiangning general of the Qing army, Tuo Ming'a, asked tremblingly in the military tent: "Go and see if the Cantonese bandits are spreading rumors?" ”

Xiong Qi lowered his gaze and kept his mouth shut, but he was happy in his heart. How majestic Tuo Ming'a was when he scolded Xiong Qi, and now Tuo Ming'a seems to be a little daughter-in-law who has been slapped by her mother-in-law, and the whole person looks timid.

However, this happiness did not last long, and Xiong Qi began to feel uneasy about his future. The famous Shu Yue bandits were killed from Anhui to Huai'an, and then from Huai'an to Yangzhou. They will definitely not be satisfied with just entrenched in Yangzhou. Even if they just want to entrench themselves in Yangzhou, they will not accept the storage of the Jiangbei camp. It won't be long before the Qing army will attack the Cantonese bandits. There's a guy like Tomina in charge. Xiong Qike couldn't believe that the Qing army would decisively move into Jiangnan. If the Qing army could not be transferred to Jiangnan, then Xiong Qi's guerrilla would not be able to escape to Jiangnan with his troops alone.

Thinking of this, Xiong Qi's guerrilla couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He is a native of Suzhou, and his family has never been wealthy. This time, the army was stationed near Yangzhou, and it was not easy to frantically loot and accumulate some money. A few days ago, all this money was sent back to his hometown to buy acres of land and build a house. In Xiong Qi's guerrilla vision for the future, when this battle is over, he will be able to return to his hometown. Be a rich man in your hometown. Get a few concubines and enjoy them comfortably.

But there are vicious enemies in front of him, and there are incompetent comrades around him, and Xiong Qi himself is neither expected by the public, nor does he have the power to freely control his own future. This reality made him feel sad, and the whole person looked depressed.

"Ask for help from the Jiangnan camp! Please ask Zhang Guoliang to help! After some tossing, General Tomina finally came up with a very feasible solution. The 4,000 Qing troops sent out yesterday to attack Yangzhou City were already the elite of the Qing army's Jiangbei camp. And Zhang Guoliang's subordinates are the elite of the Jiangnan battalion, and Zhang Guoliang is the number one general in the entire Jiangnan and Jiangbei battalions. Now that the elite of the Jiangbei camp is likely to be wiped out, it is already the best choice to ask Zhang Guoliang to come to help.

Hearing the news, Xiong Qi's heart moved. If there is some interaction between the camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, then the changes in the entire battle situation will definitely become intense. At that time, both sides will have their own opportunities. Putting away Fang Cai's grievances, Xiong Qi guerrilla began to think about the next battle.
