Chapter 160: The World is Happy
On the ninth day of September in the 60th year of Kangxi, Ningyu finally converged with the first independent division, and the 25,000 people of the whole army did not stop, and directly marched out of Fuzhou to attack Nanchang, while Fu Erdan led the army to occupy Tongshan and enter Xianning.
Ning Yu and Fu Erdan did not really fight each other on the battlefield, but they competed with each other in this way, and I have to say that this can be regarded as a tacit understanding that coincides.
For Ning Yu, he can only choose to believe that his father Ning Zhongyuan and the people of the Chu Wangfu can resist this earth-shattering blow, and there is no choice in this battle. What Ning Yu can do is to take Anqing in the shortest possible time, so as to completely control the middle section of the Yangtze River, and then the 60,000 Qing troops will have no chance.
At the same time, Nian Qianyao also received reinforcements from Hanzhong and Shaanxi, which surged from more than 20,000 to about 50,000, a large part of which were recruits who had never experienced the war, and originally planned to completely occupy Yunxian, so as to achieve the goal of responding to the Huguang war.
However, due to the arrival of Ning Zhongyi's second division, together with the original garrison fourth division, it can be regarded as re-stabilizing the precarious Yunxian defense line. It's just that in this way, the second division can be regarded as being held back and unable to return to Wuchang.
In addition, after dividing the troops with Fu Erdan, the Qing army Jiangning general Yongjina led the remaining 10,000 Eight Banner Army and 40,000 Green Battalions to enter Jiujiang, although they did not really attack the city, but this move made the third division and the second garrison division guarding Jiujiang unable to return to help.
Emperor Kangxi's three well-thought-out chess pieces played a great role at this time, and it can be said that except for the first division of Ningyu that is currently in a free state, the other directions of the Fu Han army have fallen into a predicament.
"Your Majesty, the minister admits defeat."
In the camp of the Qing army outside Pingjing Pass, Zhang Tingyu held a white chess piece in his hand, looking at the black and white chessboard, but he couldn't play it for a long time, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
At this time, the general trend of the chess game has been decided, and the white dragon seems to be arrogant, but in fact it has been faintly surrounded by Black, and is in a state of imminent break, and Black seems to be sluggish, but in fact, he is hiding the killing opportunity step by step.
Emperor Kangxi laughed, but his mental state was much stronger than a few days ago, his face was a little more rosy, he squinted his eyes and looked at the Pingjing Pass in the distance, and said with a smile: "This Pingjing Pass seems to be indestructible, but in fact, if you want to destroy it, you don't necessarily have to attack it from the outside." ”
"Who said that if you want to take Wuchang, you must capture the three passes of Yiyang? I don't believe in this evil, whether it's Nian Qianyao or Yongjina, it's just a piece on the chess game, just depending on where it is. ”
Kangxi pinched a black piece and put it on the key part of the chessboard, only to see that the whole chess game suddenly became clear, the white chess was completely killed, and the black chess achieved the general trend.
Zhang Tingyu was covered in sweat, if anyone felt that Kangxi had become an old fool, he would definitely think that person was a fool. The grass snake gray line, the layout is thousands of miles, it is really high.
"I sent Fu Erdan to Nanchang a few days ago, and now this seed has worked, and now he is stirring up Chu Wei's life rather than death. But I don't think that's enough. ”
When he said this, Kangxi finally stood up, looked into the distance and said with a smile: "The only key to breaking the situation now is in Anqing, but I have also made arrangements." ”
A eunuch beside him hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Chuan Yue Zhongqi is here!" ”
A young man walked in from outside the tent, he was dressed in bright silver armor, his eyebrows were slightly delicate, and he looked like he was only in his thirties, and he looked quite energetic.
"Chenyue Zhongqi knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"
Yue Zhongqi's face turned a little red, this was not the first time he had faced a saint, but this time the meaning was particularly different.
Kangxi also had a smile on his face, looking at Yue Zhongqi, but he had the feeling of looking at the juniors, "Yue Zhongqi, I summoned you all the way from the arrow furnace, do you have any complaints?" ”
"The minister doesn't dare, everything the minister is given by the emperor, where the emperor wants the minister to go, the minister will naturally go."
"Well, you can rest assured that you can think like this, this time I summoned you back to naturally to redress the rebellion, let Alago tell you the specific situation."
"Huh."
Kangxi's face was slightly solemn, "Your father Yue Shenglong once accompanied me to the west to conquer Galdan, and he made great contributions, I once gave him a poem, and I will give it to you today." ”
"There is no war in peacetime, and the general's exploits are in the end."
Boom - Boom -
As soon as Kangxi's words fell, a thunderous cannon sounded, and a piece of black pressure flew towards Pingjing Pass, and many bullets fell on the city wall, smashing down some small pits.
After a while, the artillery of the Fu Han army also began to counterattack, although there were many fewer bullets, but the accuracy was much higher, but the artillery of the Qing army was pressed to the point that it could not raise its head, and many artillery pieces were directly blown into the sky.
Some heads faintly appeared on the wall of the pass, and they were the soldiers of the Fu Han Army stationed at Pingjing Pass.
"Look at these useless cannons, I'm afraid they won't tickle our grandfather's city wall!"
I don't know who suddenly shouted loudly, but it made everyone laugh, but the tension before the battle was swept away, they were soldiers of the first garrison division, and they had been guarding this place for more than a month.
Seeing that the artillery of the Qing army was useless, the soldiers of the Fu Han army also began to laugh loudly, they were not much different from the main division, and they were even more familiar with the road when fighting this kind of defensive battle.
After three rounds of artillery, the Qing siege troops began to attack, and the artillery of the Fu Han army roared loudly, rumbling non-stop, and some bullets fell into the crowd of Qing troops, creating a wave of blood.
And there were also brave people in the Qing army, and Zhao Mingrui, the deputy commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, saw that his artillery was not very good, so he resolutely asked for orders to attack the city first.
"Which one of them will go to the siege city with me first, and the first one to go to the city will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to the fifth level!"
After a burst of shouting, a lot of men came out, they were all wearing cotton armor, and they looked quite elite, and these people followed Zhao Mingrui and rushed towards the city wall with the siege ladder.
The Fu Han army was naturally not to be outdone, and stood up one by one to raise their guns and shoot, as far as possible with low accuracy, but after all, hundreds of muskets fired in unison, and they also knocked down many Qing troops. The remaining Qing troops continued to attack until they reached the top of the wall. But in the end, after a fierce fight, he was driven down again.
Bloody battles were staged again and again on the Pingjing Pass, and a large number of human lives were consumed. But in the end, with the end of the offensive, everything returned to its original state, except for the Qing army's thousands of dead and wounded, nothing changed.
And Kangxi and Yue Zhongqi watched this scene quietly on the high platform, and no one spoke.
"Yue Zhongqi, the reason why I let you see this scene, do you know why?"
"Huh. The minister understands, sweeping away Chu Rebellion, a no future trouble, the world is lucky!"
