Chapter 892: Misfortune Leads to the South?
Three days later, the Ming army hoarded in Anqing Mansion divided into two routes, after attacking Huangzhou Mansion, one route was led by Liao Zhongping, through Macheng to the west, attacking De'an Mansion and Chengtian Mansion, its real intention was to expel and prevent the Qing army that had entered the border of Hubei, and cut off the Qing army from going south, so as to lay the foundation for Wu Zheng to successfully fight a war of annihilation in Raozhou and Anxin.
Of course, it was still propaganda to the outside world, and the Ming army was in the name of attacking the remnants of the Dashun army in the north and south.
On the other hand, Xia Wanchun led his troops to build Yangwei, and attacked Huanggang and Wuchang in the west through Yingshan.
During this time, there were no less than ten encounters with the Loyal Battalion.
The loyal battalion was "repeatedly defeated", and under the pressure of Jianyangwei's step by step, when it reached the outside of Wuchang City, the loyal battalion was finally defeated and retreated.
The loyal battalion retreated to the south of Jiujiang.
Jiujiang Jin Zhida Department of the Righteous Army, in the face of more than 100,000 loyal battalions approaching, heard the wind and collapsed, the Department immediately retreated to the direction of Nanchang Mansion, Nanchang Mansion is the territory of the Qing army, but only 900 Qing troops stationed in the field, in the case of tens of thousands of righteous troops swarming, had to abandon Nanchang, retreat to the east, and meet with the Boluo Department.
Nanchang Mansion was successfully recovered!
And Jin Zhida did not stay in Nanchang, and then according to Wu Zheng's deployment, the division of troops continued to the south, all the way to attack Linjiangfu, all the way to Fuzhou Mansion, three days later, the two provinces successfully succeeded, recovered.
At this time, the land of Nanchang, Linjiang, and Fuzhou was all in the hands of Jin Zhida's righteous army, forming a solid iron triangle, but this was not the real purpose of Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng's purpose was to completely cut off the road to Bolo's westward retreat.
Of course, if the Qing army under Bolo wants to advance westward, more than 10,000 people in the hands of Jin Zhida will definitely not be able to stop it, but if these more than 10,000 people want to hold Bolo for five days, there is no big problem. According to the fortified city, even if Fuzhou is breached, there is still Linjiang Mansion to block it.
And Wu Zheng's plan only takes five days.
At this time, Wu Zheng had already gnawed out the fangs that he had hidden for two years, and for him, Bolo would be the first sacrifice.
……。
Guangxin Mansion ruled Shangrao City, and the Qing court conquered the temporary line of the southern general Boluo.
"General, Jin Zhida's thieves captured Nanchang and Fuzhou, and the division is attacking Linjiang Mansion, and there are only 600 defenders in Linjiang City, and he is willing to lead a thousand people out of the city to attack Fuzhou to contain the main force of the thieves, so that Linjiang Mansion will not be lost."
"General, under the offensive of the Ming army, the loyal battalion was defeated again and again, and its troops were divided into two, all the way to the outside of Dexing City, and all the way to the outside of Wannian City. Please give the general an order to reinforce Dexing and Wannian Erfu to drive away the rout of the loyal battalion. ”
Bolo looked at the map calmly, he did not answer, he did not give an order.
According to the order from the Qing court, in this war, the Qing army under the command will not be involved, and wait for Wu Zheng to annihilate the loyal battalion, so that the Qing court can enjoy the success without spending a single soldier and get at least five prefectures in Hubei.
Moreover, according to the armistice agreement between the Qing court and the Yixing Dynasty, the two sides stationed troops in various places, and they were not allowed to fight without authorization, and once a conflict occurred, the agreement would be invalid and the war would be resumed.
Bolo was analyzing at this time, Wu Zheng's progress was too fast, so fast that it made people a little uneasy.
The 30,000 Ming army drove the 120,000 loyal battalions south for hundreds of miles in less than half a month.
It's a little too fast to be true.
Bolo has fought with the Loyal Battalion many times, and in Bolo's opinion, the combat strength of the Loyal Battalion is still okay, otherwise he would not be trapped in the land of Jiangxi and unable to break through to the northwest.
Although after the fiasco in the Battle of Hubei, the combat strength of the loyal battalion declined rapidly, but those who remained were also veterans of a hundred battles, how could they be defeated so quickly?
No, there must be some fraud in this.
Bolo was very sober-minded, and after the defeat of Shaoxing Mansion and Ningbo Mansion, especially the death of Duoduo, Bolo's assessment of Wu Zheng's ability to lead troops and command has been greatly improved.
I have to say, Bolo has a feeling of being a great enemy, Wu Zheng, what do you want to do?
Bolo's thinking is very sharp, his thinking and judgment have a good beginning, and if he continues to guess like this, he is actually not far from the correct answer.
However, alas, speculation will always be at odds with the facts, and speculation will be influenced by intelligence, situation, strength, and orders from the Qing court.
Bolo's thinking took the next step and went into a misunderstanding.
When he was thinking about what Wu Zheng wanted to do, his body retreated slightly, and the pupils staring at the map began to shrink, and the situation in the battle area, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, slowly became clear.
The Ming army's two-way attack arrows and the loyal battalion retreated southward, and Jin Zhida occupied the triangle of Nanchang, Linjiang, and Fuzhou, slowly circling in Bolo's mind.
Suddenly, Bolo figured out that Wu Zheng's real intention was to lead the water south.
The loyal battalion and the Jin Zhida righteous army were driven to the south, making the north of Jiangxi a mess, thereby weakening the strength of the Qing army in Jiangxi, so as to avoid direct combat with the Qing army, so that the war could be restarted, and the pressure of the Qing army in Jiangxi on western Zhejiang could be reduced.
Bolo lightly high-fived, pursed his lips and thought, That's right, this is Wu Zheng's purpose.
Bolo is accurate and keen in his research and judgment of the enemy's tactical thinking, but after all, Bolo is only the commander of one side, and he lacks the ability and conditions to study and judge strategic thinking.
Of course, this is not to say that Bolo is not smart enough or incapable of doing so, but that strategic thinking requires not only a big-picture view, but also a myriad of intelligence accumulations and familiarity with the thinking of the enemy's commander.
Obviously, Bolo doesn't have it.
The so-called in his position can seek his own government. The coach of one side, who has been stationed outside for many years, has difficulty getting in touch with what is happening in this world, which causes Bolo to be standing at the right door, but because of a fork in the road, he went in the wrong direction.
The difference is a millimeter, and the error is a thousand miles. It's not to blame Bolo, because he's done his best!
"Fighting with the loyal battalion and the thieves only increased the casualties, but instead made wedding clothes for the Ming army. As long as the loyal battalion does not retreat into Guangxin Mansion, our army does not need to take the initiative to meet the battle, and when the Ming army completely annihilates the loyal battalion, the battle will naturally subside, and the land of Jiangxi will naturally be returned to our army...... The Ming army did not dare to break the armistice agreement and engage our army. At present, our army is overstretched, and it is necessary to preserve its strength, and not to waste its strength on engaging the loyal battalion...... Passing on the commander's order, our army will all be based on the city, and no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight without the commander's order. ”
Wrong, really wrong.
How could Bo Luo have thought that Wu Zheng is going to lead the water south, Wu Zheng wants your life!
Bolo thus missed the best time to retreat, and at the same time, this order to defend the city made him lose the most direct control of the situation on the battlefield.
Of course, this also has one of the biggest benefits, that is, the Qing army retreating from Nanchang and Fuzhou converged with Bolo, and the army in Bolo's hands was close to 8,000 people.
