Chapter 1722 Knock on the door of Qingzhou
Wu Zheng frowned and said: "How can such a major military event be joked...... The slightest carelessness will increase the casualties of countless soldiers! ”
Shen Zhiyuan also reined in, and he said with a straight face: "It is not difficult for me to attack Andongwei, the difficult thing is that you say that this battle is not a strong attack but a forced retreat, otherwise, it will really hurt Dolbo, and I am afraid that he will be forced to join forces with Fulin and Azig." ”
Wu Zheng nodded and said, "Yes...... I am outnumbered. ”
"Your first army has 50,000 people, why only 20,000 people are transferred to the Yangtze River, or even stranded?"
Wu Zheng said suddenly: "You can't figure it out, and the Qing court naturally can't figure it out." ”
After Shen Zhiyuan frowned and thought about it, he patted his knee and said, "Awesome...... This is like an arrow on the arrow, leading but not triggering, Wu Zheng, I am really not as good as you! ”
Wu Zheng smiled narrowly and said, "Actually, I can't figure out ...... myself." ”
"You're ......!"
……。
Three days later, Wu Songwei marched head-on to Ganyu City.
The Wind and Thunder Riders began to organize all the staff to cross the Shu River.
Crossing the river on a large scale naturally can't hide from the Ganyu Yuele scouts.
Yue Le knew that he couldn't hold a small city in Ganyu District, but he didn't dare to lose the city easily, he had already lost Haizhou City, and if he lost another city, it would be really difficult to explain it when he went back.
Of course, Yue Le thought that Ganyu City had not yet reached the point of exhaustion, because behind Andong Wei and Dorbo's 20,000 troops were stationed.
Ke Yuele has no power to mobilize this army, so he can only ask for help.
Therefore, Yue Le sent people to report urgently to the Qing court, and used the court to mediate with Dolbo, and on the other hand, he sent people to Andongwei for help.
The commander of the Qing Army of Anton Wei, named Eshuo, is a native of the White Flag of Manzhou.
It's not a very obvious name, but when it comes to his daughter, it's quite famous.
His daughter Dong E, if history has not changed, should become the virtuous concubine of Fulin four years later, known as Concubine Dong E.
But E Shuo is not a fortunate minister, he really relied on his military exploits.
Before entering the customs, Eshuo's battle of fame was to follow Duoduo to participate in the "Battle of the Entrance", he led a partial division, and Bayan Zhuerge attacked the dragon gate? Defeat the Ming defenders? When attacking the former king's hoard, he slashed a Ming general? After attacking the security state? Kill Yiming completely, and achieve his combat exploits? From this to the merits, by the hereditary third-class light car lieutenant false title? Promoted to the post of assistant leader.
After that, it was a route to the chief of staff, the deputy commander of the guard, and the commander of the forward? Until now, the world's first-class baron, the Manchu white flag deputy capital gun (Melle Zhangjing), this deputy capital gun and the deputy capital of the Qing Dynasty army are not the same, that is the Qing court properly second-grade military position.
But why is Eshuo in Antonwei?
This starts with Dolgon's illness and forced south.
Eshuo is a person who doesn't take sides, at least? Was he after Huang Taiji's death? Didn't choose between Dorgon and Fulin.
According to later generations, he was a rare neutral within the Qing court.
However, Eshuo has made great achievements, and since before he became famous, he has followed Duoduo and Dorgon to fight? Quite on good terms with Dolgon's faction.
Dolgon led his army south, and he needed a large number of generals? So, choose Eshuo, an old subordinate? Naturally, it makes sense.
And Fu Lin, on the other hand, also thinks that Eshuo is a target to fight for? Thinking that Dolgon led so many elites out of Beijing? Don't you have to leave a little behind?
At least Eshuo is a neutral? will not easily follow Dolgon's "rebellion".
In this way, Eshuo followed Dolgon to Xuzhou, but he didn't want Xuzhou to be defeated, so Dolgon ordered the main force to protect the son Dolbo to retreat north.
Eshuo is among them.
When Dolbo gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, the Qing court should have recalled Eshuo and returned to Beijing to report on his work.
But the Qing court took into account the key position of Eshuo in Yanzhou, so they did not recall Eshuo, but pretended to be stupid, as if they had forgotten that there was such a person as Eshuo.
Dolbo also remembered that Eshuo escorted meritorious and proper "ministers of the hidden mansion", so Eshuo, a warrior who was not good at management, became a "sweet and sweet" between Dolbo and the Qing court.
This time, Dolbo responded to the invitation of the Qing court and Azig to send a large army to reinforce Yuele in Haizhou, but the army stopped as soon as it arrived at Andongwei.
This is not because Eshuo's position has changed after this year, but because Eshuo was strictly ordered by Dolbo not to move without permission.
But in his heart, E Shuo is a pure soldier, and he is eager to make meritorious contributions.
In his heart, he did not agree with Dolbo's conservatism, nor did he agree with Dolbo's tear with the Qing court.
But E Shuo has always adhered to the bottom line, that is, he cannot disobey Dolbo's orders, lead his command with white flags and Han flag troops, and reinforce Ganyu Yuele without authorization.
When the messenger sent by Yue Le arrived, E Shuo replied with only six words - wait for the prince's military order!
But when the Qing court sent a secret envoy from the waterway to Andongwei to bring the secret decree of Fulin, E Shuo was embarrassed.
To say that in this era, communication is really slow.
In the same Yanzhou land, Shen Zhiyuan led the new army to make such a big move, Anton Wei and Eshuo were stunned and didn't know it yet, and the time has passed for five full days.
Of course, this is also the reason why Shen Zhiyuan strictly ordered to control the north-south passage from Yizhou to Tancheng.
And E Shuo has always regarded the new army in the direction of Yizhou [Doudou] as his own people, and even when he heard the news that a large number of new troops were stationed in Yizhou, E Shuo also guessed that Dolbo intended to participate in the battle of Ganyu and sent Eyu to come in person to suppress the battle for himself.
In this way, after a night of hard thinking, E Shuo made a choice between the prince and the emperor, and the next morning, Anton Wei's Qing army finally moved.
E Shuo personally led an army of 10,000 to reinforce Ganyu.
At this time, the attack and defense of Ganyu City had been open for two days.
Lu Zhiyu was "training", Wu Songwei feinted every day, and the infantry rushed to a hundred steps away from the city wall, and then retreated.
The defenders of the city were exhausted.
Shen Zhiyuan was right, Yue Le was undoubtedly one of the few generals in the Qing court who was very "expert" in firearms warfare.
In view of the large number of artillery pieces of Wu Songwei, Yue Le devised a method to defend the city, that is, to listen to the sound of cannons, the sound of cannons did not stop, and the defenders did not go up to the city wall, leaving only dozens of people to monitor in the pre-constructed preparatory fortifications.
But as soon as the cannon fire stopped, the defenders methodically moved up the walls from the previous path to resist the wall.
Yue Le even built two more stairs in the city, leading from the bottom of the city to the city tower.
But after two days of fighting, this method obviously did not work as it should, and the enemy troops outside the city made dozens of feints a day, so that these defenders continued to flee from the city to the city, and then ran from the city to the city wall.
Yue Le not only began to wonder if there would be a conspiracy among the enemy forces outside the city?
In fact, Yue Le knew very well in his heart that Ganyu would not be able to hold it sooner or later, he believed that the enemy army outside the city should also know this, but why did the enemy army feint for two consecutive days, it didn't make sense, Yue Le's heart suddenly flashed, could it be ...... Does the enemy not want to pay huge casualties, but just wants to force himself back and easily occupy Ganyu?
