More than ten miles outside the city of Changsha, the large camp of the Qing army has been established, countless tents have been set up, and there are green battalion soldiers wearing uniforms everywhere, each holding a knife and gun in his hand, and the atmosphere is extremely solemn.

"Slash!"

A green battalion general in a thorn coat had a blue face, and forced a line of words out of his mouth, and with his order, a row of Qing soldiers was tied to the pier and could not move, and then his head was cut off with a knife.

The other officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion looked at this scene, and there was a chill on their bodies, and their bodies and bones couldn't help but tremble, although they didn't know these people who were cut down on it, they also knew that these people were all brothers from the Green Battalion who ran back from Yuezhou and Changsha a while ago.

In addition to the beheadings of these soldiers, the prefects and counties who ran back from the direction of Changsha were no better, they were held alone in a camp, and from time to time someone was dragged down and cut down, and when they heard the screams outside, these officials were also trembling with fear.

No one is not afraid of death, especially now that this way of death is still a little bit more complicated.

A small official leaned in from the outside, first glanced at everyone obliquely, and then focused his eyes on Gao Chong, the prefect of Changsha, and his mouth was not ambiguous, "Lord Gao, come with me." ”

Gao Chong, the prefect of Changsha, had secretly run out of the city with his wife and children before the arrival of the Fu Han army, and did not stay in the city to organize the people to resist, so that when the Fu Han army arrived, Changsha was captured without much fighting.

But in the eyes of Yang Lin, the newly arrived governor of Liangguang, everyone can be killed, if it weren't for these rice buckets to abandon the city and flee, how could Changsha fall? With the advantage of the city's defense and artillery, how can the enemy take this city?

Thinking of this time, Yang Lin had a little more headache, he hated Hunan Governor Zhang Changen for being a rice bucket, and he lost 20,000 troops in just a few days, and secretly blamed Emperor Kangxi for what bullshit will he issued, if he let his two vast armies enter Hunan one day earlier, how could the war situation be so erosive?

It's good now, Zhang Changen was taken away by a nest, and he had to come out to wipe his buttocks, Yang Lin looked at the Changsha prefect in front of him with some annoyance, and the anger in his heart was vented.

"The prefect of Changsha escaped from the battle, so that the heavy city fell, and the crime should be punished, so I was pulled down and cut down left and right!"

The pro-soldiers on the side dragged Gao Chong out, and he was no longer able to stand on his feet at this time, so he just blindly shouted: "My lord, I have already made a mistake in my humble position....... Give the lowly a chance to repent! ...... Yang Lin, I am the fourth rank official of the imperial court, you have no right to behead me......"

The sound faded away, and a moment later, with a scream, the noble head had been cut off and hung on the flagpole. This scene made these officials tremble, and some even knelt in place and peed their pants.

This guy really kills people without blinking! Looking at the headless corpse again, many people trembled a little, one of the highest officials present was killed like this, what are the others?

At this time, the officials of the Yamen of the Domain, who were in the camp tent, couldn't help wiping their cold sweats, and the envoy who had a good relationship with Yang Lin on weekdays said cautiously: "My lord, this noble man is also a member of the four grades, and now he has killed him like this, how can he explain to the imperial court?" ”

Yang Lin sneered, he pointed his finger in the direction of Changsha City, and said loudly: "If Changsha can't be attacked, then you and I won't have to explain to the imperial court!" ”

When everyone remembered this behemoth in front of them, they couldn't help but shudder in their hearts, and just sighed a few times, when will this kind of day be a head?

...........................................................................................................................................................

Ning Yu returned to Changsha City, and checked and filled in the gaps in the defense of Changsha City, and there were many young officers who followed on the side, and the big guys all had a clean and neat short hair, which was the result of shaving their hair, and it looked extremely energetic, and the overall appearance was more in line with Ning Yu's aesthetics in his previous life.

Most of them are drawn from the front-line combat units and then go to a short-term special training course for officers; after completing their studies, they will also concentrate on serving as staff officers in the staff office and logistics office of the division and regiment headquarters for a while, and after serving as a staff officer of the division and regiment for a while, the officers will be promoted to become military commanders in the regiments and battalions below, thus completing a process of rotation.

Therefore, the officers gathered beside Ning Yu at this time are not the kind of weak scholars who have just thrown down the pen, but hated guys who have really been on the battlefield and stabbed people with bayonets, and there are still a lot of ruthless guys like this, so from the perspective of the comprehensive quality of the officers, the Fuhan Army is not stronger than the Green Battalion.

"Liang Shi, Du Pingping, then tell me, how should our army fight this battle?" Ning Yu asked casually while holding a clairglass to observe the movements of the Qing army opposite.

Liang Shi and Du Pingping are the two most outstanding people in this group of staff officers, who participated in the training of the Eagle Battalion later, and were later promoted to participate in the special training class for officers because of their merits, and then were promoted to the first division as staff officers, and their experience was also extraordinary.

Liang Shi pondered slightly for a while, and said: "The Qing army Chen soldiers are under the city of Changsha, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, I am afraid that they are already afraid, and they plan to spend it here with us." According to their humble opinion, since they have no courage, our army might as well take the initiative to attack and defeat the Qing army on the opposite side in one fell swoop. ”

Ning Yu was noncommittal and looked at Du Quanquan, intending to hear his thoughts.

Du Quanquan's age is younger, probably no more than two years older than Ning Yu, but his brave spirit has diluted a lot of the immaturity of his age, and he bowed slightly and replied: "Although what Brother Liang said is reasonable, it is still one layer behind. ”

Liang Shi is honest, and he is not angry or annoyed at the moment, but uses a humble attitude to ask the reason, which makes Du Pingping quite admired, after all, not everyone has such a mind, so he continued to speak: "The poor layer refers to the current situation of our army, if it takes the initiative to attack, I am afraid that the Qing army can rely on the geographical advantage and oppose the guest." ”

Ning Yu nodded slightly at this time, this coincided with his thoughts, there is a big difference between the era of cold weapons and the era of hot weapons, that is, with the progress of projection weapons, the attacker will often suffer greater casualties in the process of attacking, so at this time, the defender can occupy a greater advantage.

The Qing army originally wanted to grab Changsha and then form a stalemate with the Han army, but now they didn't grab it, so they had to hold on to it, and all the purpose was to drag the Fu Han army on the road to Ningyu, so as to create an opportunity for the decisive battle of the main force of the Qing army.

Ning Yu has already seen through this strategy, but what he is worried about now is how to pull out these tens of thousands of Qing troops to fight. As long as you win, everything will be easy.
