The wind and rain on the Makufu Mountain, the forest on the mountain made a rattling sound, like the call of the mountain ghost, trying to swallow the only light in the world.

A long procession was struggling along the rugged and narrow mountain road, dressed in colorful cotton armor, but all drenched in the rain, and from time to time someone fell to the ground and could not get up again, although some people complained about the God, but they kept going.

"Hey, why did you say that Master Fu chose this day to march, this road is also a little difficult......

The person who spoke was called Hengxiang, born with a blue flag, and has lived in the wealthy Hangzhou since he was a child, and has been eating the iron crops of the Eight Banners since he was born, but he has never been so embarrassed as he is today.

Hengxiang complained while coiling up his braids, so that he didn't have to be blown away in the wind and rain, the cotton armor on his body was soaked in water, and it had become very heavy, and it was like a punishment when he wore it, not to mention that he was carrying a shotgun on his back, and he couldn't be happy all over his body.

"It's not the Chu Rebellious, Lord Fu is also thinking about our Qing Dynasty, let's eat this bit of hardship." The person who talked was also a soldier from the Eight Banners stationed in Hangzhou, called Ruining, who was also from the blue flag, and had always had a good relationship with Hengxiang.

"I heard my uncle say that this time Master Fu is going to turn over this scene of Fushan and attack Wuchang directly. You say, can we get some credit, I still want to win the battle and marry your sister when I go back! ”

The cold wind was whistling, and there was a little coolness in this September weather, Hengxiang wrapped the cotton armor on his body, and shrunk his neck while looking at the road ahead.

"Hengxiang, it seems that there are still seventy or eighty miles of mountain road ahead, and I don't know how many people will die along the way." Ruining muttered quietly with some fear on his face.

At this time, during the march of the army, dozens of people had rolled down the mountain road, and there were simply no bones, and some Qing soldiers slid down the mountain road with the carriage and disappeared into the lush mountain forest.

Voerdan was also muddy at this time, with a long stick in his hand, his horse was frightened during the march, and almost planted him down the cliff with him, but he was quick to draw a knife and plunge it into the neck of the startled horse, and only then did he pick up a life.

After learning this lesson, Fu Erdan walked with the other soldiers, but he looked at the seemingly endless mountain road, and his heart was really a little unhappy. When he fought in the northwest, he often opened and closed in a big way, but when he came to the mountains and forests in the south, he felt restricted everywhere.

Emperor Kangxi had high expectations for Fu Erdan, and Fu Erdan was also very thorough about his mission this time, that is, to pose a major enough threat to the Fu Han army at all costs, even if he could not conquer Wuchang, he also needed to create a good opportunity for the Qing army to go south, so he had been thinking hard about countermeasures.

When faced with the two choices of attacking Fengcheng and attacking Jiujiang, Fu Erdan found that neither of these two paths could realize his idea, the former would be led by Ning Yu by the nose and completely lose the significance of containing the main force of the Fu Han army, and the latter would be completely defeated under heavy casualties.

Because of this, after Fu Erdan left Nanchang, he was naturally reluctant to besiege Jiujiang, but thought of making a final decision and directly leading people to take a shortcut to attack Wuchang. Regardless of whether Jiujiang can be captured or not, it can have an impact on the deployment of the Fu Han army, as long as the Fu Han army makes a mistake in the chaos, it is an opportunity for the Qing army.

Especially when Fu Erdan found that the pressure around Wuchang suddenly increased, he expected that Wuchang was in a state of emptiness, and if he took the opportunity to go north to take Wuchang directly, the opportunity was still very large, so he set the strategy of this detour and surprise attack.

If it is replaced by someone else, it is really not necessary to choose such a reckless decision, the Qing army is not without objections, many people think that this move is too reckless, if the Han army will intercept the back road, this surprise attack army will not return, and how to explain to the emperor when the time comes?

But Fu Erdan's personality is completely different from others, he belongs to the kind of general who is more aggressive, in his military career, he has always been such a fierce general who charges into battle, and likes to be simple and decisive, and this detour to attack Wuchang, even if there will be some adventures, it is still acceptable.

Therefore, no matter how much others persuade him, he cannot change Voerdan's decision. However, Fu Erdan also knew that it was unrealistic for 60,000 troops to detour the trail together, so he found some local mountain people, found a trail through the mountain people's guidance, and led 10,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners to start climbing along the trail alone.

According to the mountain people, the trail that passes through Mt. Makufu is the mountain. According to Fu Erdan's news, if you pass through Tongshan and then go north to Xianning County, after Xianning County is Wuchang, this distance is not only much closer than the detour from Jiujiang, but also there are not too many Fu Han troops stationed along the way, which can be described as if entering a no-man's land.

There is only one point that is more critical, that is, the Fu Han army must not be known in advance, otherwise if it is ambushed in front, it will be the time of Fu Erdan's death, and it will also be the day of the destruction of this strange army.

In order to achieve the purpose of concealing people's eyes, Fu Erdan still sent the remaining 50,000 horses to Jiujiang, but the order was just a feint to attract the attention of the Fu Han army.

It's a crazy plan, but if it works, it's going to be a big win for the rest of your life!

"If this battle can reach Wuchang, then I will be the head of this battle of rebellion, even the emperor has to look up to me, and then an ordinary governor of Liangjiang is nothing."

Fu Erdan's heart was hot, he had already thought about it, even if these 10,000 people were lost, it didn't matter, as long as Wuchang could be taken, Xinyang's and Yunxian Fuhan troops would probably collapse without a fight, and when the time came, under the combination of hundreds of thousands of troops in the imperial court, it would not be far away to completely wipe out Chu Rebellion.

"Master Fu, the heavy rain seems to be getting more and more intensive, should the army stop and rest? There are already dozens of people rolling down, life and death are unknown! With a face of rain, Deputy Commander Yushan couldn't help but admonish.

"The so-called surprise attack, the soldiers are precious and fast, and they must not be stopped without my orders. How could our Eight Banners ever be so weak, if we can't even withstand this bit of wind and rain, how can we repay the Qing Dynasty and repay the emperor? ”

"This battle can be seen by the emperor, to defend our Qing Dynasty, it is not to rely on those green battalions that are the same species, but we still have to look at our Eight Banners, we have to work hard!"

Fu Erdan's face was as cold as before, and his mouth was ruthless, "Tell everyone that we will start to rest after passing through the Makufu Mountain, and the hot soup will be waiting for everyone at that time!" ”

"If you successfully defeat Wuchang, everything in this city is yours!"
