Chapter 128: The Dilemma (The Third Update, Asking for a Subscription, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Along the way, the mighty fleet was very spectacular, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes were attracted.
However, after only one day and one night, the fleet passed Suqian.
Those gentry and people of Nanzhili, who were originally frightened by the threat of killing and killing in the east, were all overjoyed when they heard that it was the army of the "Fire God" King Dewang who went south to resist the captives.
God forbid!
Don't be afraid!
There are even righteous soldiers who led the volunteers to come to help, and Ren Guogan is one of them, he is the person in the Apocalypse, after learning that the Dongyu invaded the territory, he gathered the villagers to form a village to protect himself, I heard that the son of De Shizi led the army through Suqian, Ren Guogan hurriedly brought grain and grass to comfort the army.
When he arrived at the Yellow River, the fleet was really good!
More than 100 thousand stone boats are lined up, there is a baffle on the waist of the ship, there are arrow holes between the baffles, more than ten boats are connected into one, one bites one and comes in a row. Not far behind, the huge fleet of ships flowed down the middle of the Yellow River, and the names of the ships on the eyes of each boat could be faintly seen on the shore with a fiery iron.
Ren Guogan didn't know that in fact, the carriages and horses he led had already been targeted when they were still more than ten miles away from the fleet, and if they hadn't found out through the camera that they were all Han, they wouldn't have been able to get close to the river at all. They will not be allowed to row a small boat close to the fleet.
"Who's coming?"
Listening to the shouts coming from the boat, Ren Minyu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Suqian raised people Ren Guogan heard that the prince of De led the troops south to resist the captivity, and he came to reward the army, and there was an urgent military situation to report to the prince!"
It's a military report again!
Zhu Guoqiang naturally welcomed the righteous men who reported the military situation, and their presence along the way saved him a lot of effort, at least he was able to grasp the movements of the Qing army.
"Lord Shizi, after Dolgon arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, he first seized Qinghe County, although Huai'an Fu withdrew the ships from Hebei to the south bank, and even Hongze Island in Hongze Lake, but Qinghe County has several shipyards, more than 10,000 shipwrights and a large number of ship materials......
The reason why Ren Guogan led Ding Zhuang to come was to report this military situation, after all, Suqian is in Hebei, and it may be attacked by the East at any time, although most of the people in Suqian have withdrawn to the south bank now, but it is always their home, and now that the prince has arrived, it also makes him feel a lot more at ease.
"Shipbuilding ......"
The information provided by Ren Guogan made Zhu Guoqiang's eyebrows raised, this is really not like the Qing army.
I actually learned to build a ship.
Is shipbuilding fast?
"Shiziye, Dolgon not only built ships in Qinghe, but also deployed Hongyi cannons on the Yellow River embankment of Qinghe, according to the news that the villain heard that he only arranged an artillery team on the river after learning that Shiziye led the troops over, the villain heard that whenever a boat passed by the river, Donglu would shell the river boat, and Donglu's artillery team was extremely powerful, and even hit the cannonball to Matou Town at the mouth of Hongze Lake on the opposite bank."
Hearing this, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a while.
Build ships and build forts!
This Qing army is a bit weird!
In fact, what Zhu Guoqiang didn't know was that the Qing army's move was more of a helplessness, especially the placement of artillery on the river embankment, which he forced at all - after the news that Abatai was shelled by gunboats under the city of Xuzhou and killed thousands of people reached Dolgon's side, he immediately arranged an artillery team on the river embankment to prevent the Ming army's gunboats from sneaking attack.
"Dolgon's reaction was quick, and he set up the battery not only to prevent me from shelling from the river, but also to prevent me from attacking from the river when it was strong. It also blocked our way into Hongze Lake, which is equivalent to helping Abatai, we can't enter Hongze Lake, naturally we can't enter the Huai River, Abatai is really like entering no one's land. ”
After pondering for a while and understanding the other party's intentions, Zhu Guoqiang continued to ask.
"Is there any movement from Abatai?"
"Lord Shizi, yesterday someone said that Abatai had already arrived at the city of Suzhou two days ago, presumably now Suzhou has been defeated by them, and now they are probably ...... in this position."
Looking at the location marked on the map, Zhu Guoqiang frowned.
On one side is Dolgon of Qinghe, and on the other side is Abatai who is pointing directly at the middle capital!
You have to defend on both sides, but you have so many troops!
"Where has Hong Chengchou gone?"
In order to intercept the Qing army, Chongzhen not only ordered Nanzhili to recruit Xiangyong to defend the city, but also ordered Hong Chengchou to lead 100,000 troops south, but their speed was really touching! This is not to blame Hong Chengchou, firstly, because his army has just assembled, and secondly, because they are a mixed group of infantry and cavalry, and the daily march is only a few dozen miles.
"Just past the ...... of Linqing"
Obviously, Hong Chengchou is not going to go up.
Besides, even if he led the troops over, it was unknown whether he could beat Dorgon.
"Shizi Ye, Dongyu is now divided into two ways, all the way to Zhongdu, all the way to Huai'an, if the humble position is not bad, they must be eyeing Huai'an, Huai'an, especially Qingjiangpu, is the throat of Caoyun, the backlog of Cangcao rice at this time of year is not less than two or three million stones, Donglu since the wall was broken, all the way to gallop, even Linqing can let go of a city with a population of one million, and it must be fast!"
As soon as Chen Wudi's words fell, Qian Degong hurriedly said.
"Lord Shizi, it doesn't matter how much Cangcao rice has, besides, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River here, and I think the most hairy thing is the army of Abatai, but after they have passed Suzhou, whether they are going south to the central capital, or crossing the Huai River, or even threatening Nanjing, it is not impossible!"
"That's right, Lord Shizi, although there is a lot of Cangcao rice, but there are so many Cangcao rice, even if he robs it, how can it be transported back to Liaodong? Moreover, if they just grabbed food, they could grab a lot on the north shore. If we keep an eye on Dolgon, if he doesn't move, will we keep an eye on him all the time? At that time, Abatai's side will really be in a no-man's land! ”
"Lord Shizi, what General Qian said is very true. I thought that after Abatai defeated Suzhou, he would inevitably go south, taking the opportunity to erode Zhongdu and Nanzhi, as for Dolgon, although he would wait for the opportunity to cross the river, but for the time being, he could not threaten the hinterland of Nanzhi, so for now, the biggest threat is the Dongyu led by Abatai. ”
"But now the artillery team of the Qing army is locked at the mouth of the lake, and if you want to enter the Huai River, you have to pass through the estuary! But the estuary is blocked by the artillery team of the Eastern Prisoners! ”
Listening to everyone's analysis, Zhu Guoqiang stared at Suzhou and Huai'an on the map.
It's a little tricky!
