Chapter 62: The Chinese Army Sets Out

Liu Fangliang and Yuan Zongdi are also old acquaintances, so when they heard that this idea was feasible, they didn't say a word, and hit it off.

And the capital north of Shijiazhuang, they obviously gave up support, and the side of Zhendingfu, although it can be regarded as the gateway to Shijiazhuang, but think about it, if you want to defend in that place, it is too difficult.

According to their current strength, if the battle line is pulled forward, the final result can be imagined, and it is also for this reason that this battle plan was instantly shelved.

Compared with the situation here, the Chongzhen Ming army is marching forward, and the soldiers have been in three capitals in just a few days, and this kind of record, no matter where it is placed, is worthy of praise and praise.

It was also for this reason that when they arrived at Zhending Mansion, this group of soldiers was also ready to go, and they were directly forced under the city wall.

Zhending Mansion is obviously under-garrisoned, and there are not many people on the city wall, and the Dashun army is short of materials, although the battles in the past few days have allowed them to capture a lot of weapons, but this group of rebellious peasant soldiers is still not as good as the regular army after all.

Especially in this operation, Dashun put all the resources on Tianjin Wei desperately, so the troops under the head and the army materials gradually became not particularly good-looking.

"Strategist, how much grain and grass do we still have in our army?"

Emperor Chongzhen sat in the Chinese army, and he was quite tired these days, after all, marching and fighting is never a child's play, and there are many large and small incidents in the army, although as the commander, he does not need to be in place, but he also needs to deal with a lot of affairs.

Recently, what worries Emperor Chongzhen the most is obviously the problem of grain and grass in the army, the recent heavy rain, although the distance between this place and the Beijing division is not too far, but if it is to be transported, it is obviously time-consuming and laborious.

Moreover, Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that the three capitals that were conquered, which of them were all poor jingle rings, Tianjin Wei didn't talk about it for the time being, thinking that Liu Fangliang took away the grain and grass when he left.

But Baoding and Hejian are really cleaner than their faces, and it is barely enough to supply more than 10,000 people, but it is a drop in the bucket to turn around and give hundreds of thousands of people to a large army.

Therefore, now that I think about it, the biggest trouble of this march and war is here, and the ancient soldiers' books also say that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and now it seems that it has been best confirmed.

"Your Majesty, the grain and grass in the army can probably last for about three days, if you can get food after conquering Zhending Mansion, you must be able to continue to push down, but if you can't, then you basically have to return to the court."

"Yes, I see."

Chen Gong's face was not particularly good, in fact, he knew better than anyone else that this Zhending Mansion must not have much food, and the way they fought in the Dashun Army before, this Chen Gong had also heard a little.

And at this moment, coupled with the fall of the two capitals between the Baoding River, the defenders of Shijiazhuang did not march to help Zhendingfu, so it can be seen that the capital was basically given to Chongzhen.

Since it is said that it is sent, then it will naturally not let Chongzhen take advantage of it, so now that I think about it, it must be a sure thing if I don't return to the court every day.

"If you want to conquer Shijiazhuang, how many days will it take?"

"This, Your Majesty, Shijiazhuang and Zhending Mansion are opposite each other, if you want to use troops, it must not be so simple, and besides, the potential of this siege can rise, and we can't grind the supplies in Shijiazhuang City."

"It's really a problem, I also took a look at the terrain here before, the boundary of Shijiazhuang must be very easy to defend and difficult to attack, and, according to the situation of our Lianke Sandu Mansion, presumably the grain and grass around this place have also been sent back to Shijiazhuang early."

Emperor Chongzhen is not a fool, he knows what is the reason why he didn't get anything after attacking the city, so now he is also saying something to Chen Gong.

As for Chen Gong, he had been standing in place, his head had been lowered, and he seemed a little ashamed.

"Your Majesty, in fact, if my army's food and grass can be replenished, presumably this Shijiazhuang can still be captured, now this heavy rain season, I think it will last for a few days, and the waters on this side of Shijiazhuang are from the Wanquan Division next to the Beijing Division, the waterway is in disrepair, looking for the trend of rain this year, it must be that the embankment will burst soon."

"Huh?"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard what Chen Gong said, his eyes also widened, and then he also stood up from his position.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ashamed, I never thought that the Dashun Army would actually transfer materials to Shijiazhuang, nor did I expect that Liu Fangliang, the Tianjin Guard, was such a shrewd No. 1 person. Therefore, military discipline has been delayed. ”

"It's okay, it's all a small thing, you said before, it's true that the waterway above Wanquan Dusi will burst the embankment?"

"It's true, Your Majesty, since last year, there have been problems with the waterways on this side of the Wanquan Division, if it weren't for the gang of thieves Li Zicheng who entered the Beijing Division, presumably someone would have been found here to dredge it early, but now, you think, this dike that has been in disrepair for a long time, plus the precursor of repeated floods, in the future, this dam burst is obviously not a problem."

"Chen Gong, you are really a good fortune general for me, in fact, I think about it, it's not that I can't fight a long war, but I feel that this time has dragged on for too long, I'm afraid that the Dashun army will react and return to defense."

What Emperor Chongzhen said is not false, in fact, on the side of the Dashun army, the real combat power is still stationed near Xi'an, and this amount of combat power is obviously not what they can fight against now.

Therefore, if you want to besiege Shijiazhuang for too long, once you say that you are attacked inside and outside, then your elite troops in Dashun will be burned!

This is the last thing he wants, although with the blessing of the system, these things in the army are relatively simple, but after all, it is something bought with real money, and this is not something that fell from the sky, nor was it blown by a strong wind.

"Unlock the limited-time mission, flood the upgraded version of the Seventh Army, and within three days, use the flood to break the Shijiazhuang garrison!"

"Reward content, title, Chosen One."

Just when Emperor Chongzhen finished saying this, a prompt sound also came from the system, and this time the task was much longer than the previous one.

But this also allowed the content of the task to be realized, and then, Emperor Chongzhen looked out, and hurriedly commanded Chen Gong!

"Now start attacking Zhending Mansion, and try your best to take it down before it gets dark!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Chinese army is leaving!"
