Chapter 180: Frontal Attack
Wuchang City, the palace of the king of Chu.
Although Ning Zhongyuan was injured by an arrow in Xianning County, he was not injured to the vital point after all, so after Chen Dejiu's treatment, he could barely support himself and listen to Ning Zhongjing and Cui Wancai's reports.
"Today, the Qing army camp is very quiet, there has been no siege, it seems that after a few days of siege fighting, Fu Erdan is a little unable to hold on...... Perhaps, I was thinking about retreating. Cui Wancai said softly.
Ning Zhongyuan closed his eyes slightly, and said softly: "Judging from the current situation, Fu Erdan is definitely not the kind of person who gives up easily, he should be careful about the defense in the city, and there must be no situation in Xianning." In addition, the third child, for every move of the major races, you must also be aware of it. The last sentence was said to Ning Zhongjing.
Ning Zhongjing nodded lightly and said: "Second brother, don't worry, the last situation will never happen again, I have already informed the major clans in Wuchang, hand over the guards of each province within a time limit, and scatter the formations and put them everywhere to defend the city, and they are also some not very critical positions, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
As he was talking, the housekeeper Zhou Fu walked in, his face was full of joy, and he knelt on the ground as soon as he came in.
"Master, the young master is back!"
This time it made everyone look at each other, shouldn't this kid be in Jiujiang now?
The news that Ning Yu returned to Wuchang with five hundred guards did not deliberately cover it up, in fact, his return played a certain stabilizing role in the hearts of the entire people in Wuchang City.
Everyone believes in one thing, as long as the Ning family's generals come back, then this battle will not be lost. Don't care about Fu Erdan Fu Erkang's, they are all defeated by the little master's men.
For Ning Zhongyuan, he was also relieved, he didn't have to work hard anymore, holding Ning Yu's hand in front of the hospital bed, his expression was slightly embarrassed and complicated.
"When you kid grows up, the rest will be left to you."
Ning Yu smiled bitterly and agreed, he naturally understood that the so-called next thing was actually how to eliminate the remaining more than 3,000 Qing troops, if the other party took the opportunity to move elsewhere and give the Fu Han army a trick of you beating me and running, I am afraid it would be more difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to seize the time now to completely kill Voerdan.
When Ning Zhongyuan chose to recuperate and rest, Ning Yu naturally no longer used the Chu Palace's palace as the center of government orders, but used the Privy Council as a place for himself to give orders, and he could better control the army.
In the Privy Council, Ning Yu summoned the generals who were still in Wuchang, and even the head of the group that was originally recuperating from illness, Uzhijing, was also present, and everyone gathered together, which seemed to be somewhat strict.
"Fighting Voerdan, I'm not worried about whether everyone can win, with the current strength of our army, it is not difficult to win, but I have a few requirements."
Ning Yu glanced around at everyone and said softly: "Everyone knows that Wuchang is the essence of our army, if we can't achieve the intention of completely eliminating the Qing army in the first time, then the Qing army that has been scattered is very likely to be transformed into a rogue and wander in Huguang, which is inconsistent with our army's combat intentions." ”
"Therefore, if you want to defeat the Qing army, you have to wipe them all out for me!"
Ujijing smiled, for himself this; The teacher's temper was not too familiar to him, and he stood up directly when he thought of this.
"Metropolitan Governor, I am the vanguard of this battle! Lure Fu Erdan to attack with a weak brigade, as long as he wants to eat our piece of meat, he has to fight with us, and when Fu Erdan puts all the people in his hands in, then the Metropolitan Governor can naturally attack the whole army! ”
The next day, Ning Yu drove directly out of the city with the only remaining main force in Wuchang City, including more than 400 officers training regiment of the Fuhan Army's martial arts hall, more than 300 people from the Eagle Battalion, plus the 500 personal guard battalions brought by himself, forming a force of more than 1,200 people. Six artillery pieces in the city were also dismantled and transported to the city with the army, thus strengthening the firepower of the army led by Ning Yu.
The army set off all the way to the Qing army camp outside the city, and this scene naturally couldn't hide Fu Erdan's eyes, he looked at the soldiers of the Fu Han Army who went out of the city, looking mighty, but in fact there were not many people.
According to the report of the spies sent by the Qing army, the soldiers of the Fu Han army who left the city added up to more than 1,000 people, and it seems that they also carried a few cannons. After getting the news, Fu Erdan felt that he seemed to have another opportunity, after several siege failures and losses, Fu Erdan planned to bypass Wuchang, and then go all the way to the front line of Sanguan to respond to the Kangxi army.
But at the moment, the other party didn't seem to be afraid at all, and came to the Qing army camp with thousands of people, which made Fu Erdan's heart start to move again, if he could eat this Fu Han army, it seemed that Wuchang City would be at his fingertips......
Everyone has the psychology of a gambler, especially for Fu Erdan, he himself is a person with a lot of gambling, and he dared to take 10,000 people through the Makufu Mountain to attack Wuchang in front, which in itself is to press his life on the scale. Later, although he went through the battles of Xianning County and Wuchang City, his gambling spirit did not change at all, and when he saw that he had another opportunity, he wanted to press it.
Before fighting this battle, Fu Erdan sent an order to the generals of the Qing army, that is, all the Fu Han troops on the opposite side must be left, so that Wuchang is a ripe fruit, and it will follow. This military order coincided with Ning Yu's thoughts, and it also laid the bloody level of this station.
The two sides did not fight directly, Ning Yu led the army to be stationed two miles away, set up a formation, and then lined up six artillery pieces in front of the formation and fired artillery together to deter the Qing army. At the same time, a big banner was erected in front of the battle, which said "Pingnan Governor Fu Ning", which was not only provoking the Qing army, but also signaling to the Qing army on the opposite side, I Ningyu is here, see if you dare to come?
I have to say that this move is really quite against Fu Erdan's temper, if it is an ordinary Qing army general, I am afraid that my heart will be a little empty when I see this banner, not to mention the battle, even the courage to face is rare, but Fu Erdan does not believe in this so-called heavenly general's evil star, and when he saw that Ning Yu had arrived, he immediately waved his army to attack.
"Hmph, those who capture Ning Yu alive will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver! If you can cut off the head, you will also be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver! ”
For a time, the Qing soldiers rushed forward, but the guns of the Fu Han army were not a joke, although Ning Yu only brought more than 1,000 people, and the Qing army on the opposite side was three times larger, but under the row of guns and bullets, a large number of people fell.
When the Qing army rushed to the front, a group of people appeared in the rear of the Fu Han army, they all took out a grenade, just lit it and threw it over, and suddenly the entire Qing army was directly blown up.
Seeing this, Fu Erdan had a frustrated look on his face and shouted loudly.
"Where are you going to run?"
"The front is Wuchang City, and the back is a dead end, do you want to send you to death?"
