Chapter 1260 What can be won is actually not a gamble
PS: Thank you for the monthly tickets voted by the book friends "richardlg", "Shadow on the shore", and "Liang Mengchang".
When Zhao Shi heard this, he was happy, and said in his heart that this idea is good, and it is exactly what I want.
So, marching from the east gate, all the way, all the way to pull the families of the soldiers along the way into the team, although only half of the city, but the number suddenly expanded to tens of thousands.
It's really tens of thousands, but there are others.
That is Huai'an City, more than 300 Changlin Wei.
These people are not regular soldiers, the so-called art industry has a specialty, and their ability is not in the war, but Zhao Shi doesn't think so, as long as there are more people.
And these more than 300 Changlin Wei ambush personnel, each of whom also has peripheral personnel in their hands, and there are more than 1,000 people in such a fuss.
No wonder, the road from the east gate to the south gate was supposed to be half an hour, but this guy walked for nearly two hours to arrive.
But the scene really has to get bigger.
was so frightened that Zu Dabi almost "jumped off the city tower and committed suicide"!
……。
The battle can't be fought.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
Zhao Shi didn't dare to attack, he knew in his heart that there were only more than 4,000 regular soldiers in front, and most of them were full of people in the back.
Dare to fight? Don't dare to fight!
Do these ruthless people known as the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty dare to take the initiative to attack?
They didn't dare!
Because their number is too small, three thousand.
3,000 people are still divided into three streets, how to fight?
On the straight street, it is impossible to outflank in any roundabout, and to fight is to stab it with a pole, and the blade bites the flesh to see the real chapter.
Then it is a small matter of his own death in battle, and the rebels rush to the gate of the city, and the matter is big.
Isn't this just the answer to a sentence, internal and external attacks, there is death and no life.
Therefore, by the light of the torches, the two sides glared at each other fiercely, if this could kill people, I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that the blood would have flowed into a river.
Zu Dabi received the report, but he didn't believe it at first.
But after several returns, he also believed.
Fortunately, since the rebels did not dare to attack, it would not affect the defense of the city.
Let them live a few more hours, and when the sky is bright and they can see the reality clearly, it is not too late to make plans.
Besides, it will take half an hour to wait for reinforcements from the west and north gates to come.
Zu Dabi also put down the city, and focused on preventing whether the Taizhou Guard would take this opportunity to assault.
……。
Outside the city of Huai'an, inside the tent of the Chinese army.
Jiang Quanyi, who had always insisted on capturing Huai'an City, held his wounded arm, but seemed silent.
And Wu Zheng, who had to withdraw his troops before, strengthened his belief in capturing Huai'an City.
It may sound contradictory, but it is.
Wu Zheng has always been a "cautious" person, and this kind of caution often comes from before things happen, saying that it sounds good, planning and then acting, and saying that it is ugly, that is a "dead stubborn".
People, there are always shortcomings and advantages, even if it is a heinous person, obviously Wu Zheng is not.
The anger in Wu Zheng's heart was completely stimulated by the high wall several miles away.
His character is like this, he fights and fights, and he gets out of control.
This is completely contrary to the statement that he taught his generals on weekdays that "soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival...... in fact, Wu Zheng himself could not do it.
"It's normal that you can't attack it!" I don't know if Wu Zheng is cheering up the generals around him, or if he is convincing himself, "If the enemy attacks Hangzhou City, this king will also organize the army and civilians to fight to death, and he is not afraid of casualties, but he is afraid of frustration...... Use your brains, if you can't attack the south gate, then attack the west gate ....... ”
Jiang Quanyi rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I have already sent a partial division to go north along the Hongze Lake, but I encountered an ambush by enemy cavalry in Qingjiangpu, and returned in vain...... Now that the enemy is already on guard, how can he not set up heavy defenses? Besides, the siege is better, if there is a field battle, our musketeers and cavalry will fight, and the casualties will be even ......greater. ”
Jiang Quanyi's words made Wu Zheng's old face blush, he was just making an analogy to boost morale, and he didn't really want to divide the troops.
can be scolded by Jiang Quanyi as his generals, this old face is a little unbearable.
"That's not right!" Wu Zheng began to talk nonsense seriously, "The more dangerous the so-called place, the safest, it is precisely because the enemy is on guard that he will not expect that we will continue to attack ...... the same way." ”
Alas, don't really say it, Wu Zheng said and said, he believed it first.
Yes, it's true that there are eight banners of cavalry in the city, but Dolgon will never send a large number of cavalry to garrison the city.
Thinking of this, Wu Zheng suddenly came to his senses and asked Jiang Quanyi: "How many cavalry ambushes did the partial division you sent before?" ”
Jiang Quanyi said: "According to the report, there should be hundreds of horsemen, because our army was defenseless and was caught off guard, but fortunately, there were not many enemy horsemen, so we relied on the terrain of the water to withdraw back...... Eh, what does the prince mean that the enemy is only these hundreds of horsemen? ”
Jiang Quanyi's reaction was not slow, and he was keenly aware of his mistakes.
If the enemy really only has a few hundred horsemen, then even if Taizhou Wei uses people to fill the sea, he can drown the enemy cavalry in a battle.
There was really no way, so I sent a death squad to detonate it to die with the enemy.
Wu Zheng smiled, it was indeed not tiring to talk to smart people, "Dolgon took Huai'an and Yancheng as the two fulcrums to attract and contain our army, and at the same time sent a large number of cavalry from Fengyang Mansion to cut off the return route of our army to the west, this is the point...... You must know that what Dolgon lacks most now is time, once the First Army transferred from Hangzhou arrives on the river bank with a heavy artillery regiment, and Zhang Mingzhen's naval artillery cooperates, even if there are tens of thousands of cavalry, how can they stick to Taixing and Taizhou to block and separate our army...... Cavalry can't defend the city, right? ”
When the generals heard this, they all nodded yes.
Wu Zheng continued: "In this case, it is reasonable that Dolgon should delineate all the cavalry, at least most of them, to Fengyang Mansion as much as possible, otherwise, the number of cavalry is insufficient, how can it be possible to ensure that our army's return route is quickly cut off?" In this case, how could Dolgon leave a large number of cavalry in Huai'an City as infantry envoys? ”
Wu Zheng's gaze slowly swept towards the generals, not to mention, just a few simple words, which made the generals' demeanor change rapidly, and they were like two people before and after.
Wu Zheng smiled, at this time, it is not terrible to be frustrated and defeated, but it is terrible to have no confidence.
In fact, Wu Zheng was not sure, and Dolgon did not have many cavalry stationed in the city.
In fact, as long as Dolgon began to mobilize the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, the number of cavalry was uncontrollable.
The reason why Wu Zheng said this is that in addition to boosting morale, there is still a bet!
Bet that Dorgon doesn't have the courage to fight himself to the death.
This is not to say that Wu Zheng thinks that Dorgon's character is not courageous, but that he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Although Wu Zheng can no longer be called barefoot, for the Qing court, the General's Mansion, even if the Yixing Dynasty is added, the territory occupied by the two is only half of Zhejiang and half of Nanzhili and Jiangxi.
