Chapter 326: The Battle
In the twenty-second year of Qianlong, in mid-March
The holy decree came from the capital, Fucha. Fu Heng responded to the crime of disadvantage, and went to wear a flower feather and wait for the general of Zhennan, Niu Hulu. After Fu Sen arrived and handed over the task, he returned to Beijing to discuss the crime.
At the beginning of April, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen arrived at this time to move to the Jiangnan bandit camp in Xuzhou.
In mid-April, Anhui and Jiangsu were in an emergency.
At this time, Fucha, who should have resigned and returned to Beijing. Fu Heng was killed by the Zhennan general Niu Hulu. Fu Sen asked the imperial court to stay and assist.
In May, the imperial court agreed to Niu Hulu. Fu Sen's request.
In mid-May, because the Cao Yun had been hijacked by the bandit army, there was an emergency of grain and grass in the Manchu Jiangnan bandit camp. In order to prepare grain and grass, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen had no choice but to leave the barracks and go to Xuzhou City to ask for food.
On that day, there was an urgent report from the horses.
Niu Hulu. Fu Sen leaves and receives an urgent message from Fucha. Fu Heng had no choice but to convene a military meeting in advance to discuss. Fu Sen came back and made a decision.
"Report, Zhennan General Fu has arrived." When everyone was talking about it, there was a message from outside the door. The news of Fu Sen's return.
After a short time when the news spread, I saw Niu Hulu. Fu Sen walked in briskly from outside the door.
"The last general pays a visit to General Zhennan." See Niu Hulu. Fu Sen, the generals who sat down hurriedly got up and knelt down and bowed.
"Get up!"
"Huh..."
"Yes..."
"I've seen the fifth elder brother." Niu Hulu. Fu Sen didn't look at the generals anymore and came to Aixin Jueluo. Yongqi made a gesture in front of him and then turned to face Fucha. Fu Heng asked, "Master Fu, how is the situation now?" ”
"General Hui Zhennan. Now what I learned from Tanma's side was that the Western Route Army and the South Route Army of the anti-thieves had gathered in Xiangcheng. The Eastern Route Army occupied Picheng. "Fucha. Fu Heng replied one by one according to the information given by Tanma.
"Xiangcheng's troops are thin, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the anti-thieves. And Xiangcheng to Xuzhou is only more than 12 miles, once the thief breaks through Xiangcheng, in terms of the thief's itinerary, you can reach Xuzhou in four days at most. ”
"Hmm..."
Niu Hulu. After listening to this, Fu Sen was silent for a moment and asked, "How did you just discuss it?" What can I do? ”
"This is just the time for the meeting, and before we have time to discuss it, you are back. Well, you'll be in charge of the meeting. "Fucha. Fu Heng replied.
"Okay...", Niu Hulu. Fu Sen nodded in response.
"Everyone knows what Master Fu said, so let's discuss it and tell us what you think!"
Niu Hulu. As soon as Fu Sen's words fell, all the generals sat down and exchanged their heads one after another.
After a cup of tea, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen then asked, "How did everyone discuss?" Any good ideas? ”
At this moment, the hall that was still a whisper just now suddenly fell silent, and everyone was sitting in silence.
"Gui, tell me what you think." Seeing this, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen asked directly by name.
"Huh." At this time, Zhang Jia, who was sitting on the side. Gui replied with a fist.
ZHANG Jia. Ah Gui, one of the future important ministers of the Great Qing Kingdom.
If there was no rise of the bandit army, he should have pacified the Dafang of the Jungar Department in the northwest at this moment.
And now, even in the face of the supposedly strong and fearless bandit army, he still shows good strength. In several battles with the bandit army, he took the lead and fought several good battles.
So both Fucha . Fu Heng still loves Xinjueluo. Yongqi, even if it's Niu Hulu. Fu Sen attaches great importance to him. I believe that as long as he can defeat the attack of the bandit army this time, he will definitely be able to stay in the emperor's heart.
"The slave thinks that although the anti-thieves are menacing, our army is not without the strength to fight against them. Fight, just stop all the way and fight all the way. "ZHANG Jia. After sorting out his thoughts a little, Ah Gui slowly spoke.
"Well, go on?" Niu Hulu. Fu Sen nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
In the face of a strong enemy, not afraid to fight, this is what my Great Qing Kingdom should be.
"Huh."
ZHANG Jia. After Ah Gui responded, he continued: "Normally, it should be to block the strong and fight the weak. However, Xiangcheng is located in the plain, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend. The important thing is that the main force of the thief army is in Xiangcheng. The minions thought that in this case, if we only let go of the army, not only could we not stop the main force of the thief army, but would give the thief army a chance to defeat our army, thereby boosting the morale of the thief army. ”
"However, if there are too many troops to stop the southwest army of the thief army, it will cause the strength of the eastern army to encircle and suppress the thief army, so there is no way to destroy the eastern army of the thief army."
"Then you mean to stop the thief army's eastern army and engage the southwest army, the main force of the thief army?" I saw Niu Hulu. Fu Sen said expressionlessly.
"Yes, this is the foolish opinion of a minion." ZHANG Jia. Gui responded.
"According to your style of play, what are the chances of our army winning?" Niu Hulu. Fu Sen asked after a moment of silence.
"According to the slaves, I should be able to go to more than sixty percent." ZHANG Jia. Gui replied.
"Our army has been fighting with the thieves a lot, but the results have not been very great, why do you think that you will have such a chance of winning according to your battle?" Although Niu Hulu. Fu Sen knew Zhang Jia. Ah Gui is not a person who likes to brag, but he still had to ask suspiciously.
"Back to General Fu, the slave thinks. Our army's main chance of victory will come from the more than 10,000 Eight Banners cavalry children you brought. "ZHANG Jia. Gui spoke.
"It is undeniable that the thief's firearms are powerful, and the combat effectiveness is also strong. But after all, the thief army was short of horses, there was no cavalry, and the main force was infantry. In the plains, no matter how strong the infantry is, it is no match for my Eight Banners cavalry. This is what the minions think can defeat the thief army. ”
"In the eyes of the minions, the thief army lacking cavalry is actually not far from defeat from entering the territory of Xiangcheng, which is dominated by the plains. It is estimated that the leader of the thieves thought that his firearms were powerful, and after winning a few battles, he thought that he could be invincible in the world. In fact, where had he ever seen the real cavalry charge of the Grand Legion? ”
"Indeed, if our army is only one of the few cavalrymen, it will not be able to stop their long-range firearms damage. But as long as our cavalry army withstood the dozen casualties and penetrated their musketeers, victory would not be far from us. ”
looked at Zhang Jia, who was really talking. A Gui, Niu Hulu. Fu Sen had to admit that he did a good job of analysis. If he can't defeat the thief army according to what he said, then what other way can I defeat the thief?
At this time, Niu Hulu. Although Fu Sen already agreed with Zhang Jia very much. Ah Gui's opinion, but he still asked the other generals sitting down quietly, "I don't know if you have any different opinions about Ah Gui?" ”
