"Eighteen thousand? Fuck your stinking fart! ”

has always regarded himself as a Confucian general, and Zhou Quanbin has not been so foul for many years. At this time, not only did he scold, but he kicked the survivor of the Sihui Ming Army who rushed to report to the ground with one kick, and then pointed to his nose and questioned him again.

"How many Tartars are coming, and under the banner of a bastard, Ben Shuai doesn't want to hear even a word of untruthfulness!"

Originally, the Qing army harassed Qingyuan County with cavalry, which was a frequent drama after the Anglo-German War. Zhou Quanbin had already realized from the beginning when he received Huang Xing's emergency report that Hong Chengchou was trying to cut off the supply line of the Ming army when he cut into northern Guangdong. The occupation of Yingde can achieve such a goal, and the same is true for the capture of Qingyuan. Therefore, as soon as he received the news, he directly asked Ma Bao to lead his troops and horses to Yingde County to assist in the defense, because of the Huangshui, it was bound to be the first target of the Qing army. And he led Qianchong Town to continue to guard Qingyuan.

His temporary disposition further ensured the defense of the two places, not only buying time for Yingde County to wait for Chen Kai's reinforcements, but also ensuring the safety of Qingyuan County. Originally, according to the current development of the situation, as long as the Ming army made a final breakthrough in Nanjiang, Hong Chengchou was bound to retreat without a fight, and he could perfectly complete the task entrusted by Chen Kai, but it didn't take long for Sihui County to come with the news of the Qing army's large-scale attack and the fall of the city.

Sihui, about more than 100 miles away from Qingyuan, closer to Sanshui, only seventy or eighty miles away, and there is also the existence of the Suijiang waterway, if it goes downstream, it will not even be used for a day. Whichever of them was about to be attacked by the Qing army, it would be extremely dangerous for this supply line.

Zhou Quanbin was furious, and he really scared the Ming army who reported the news. Immediately afterwards, I saw that the Ming army was all out of the way.

It turned out that this guy was not at all in a hurry when the city was broken, but when the Qing army raided the city, he happened to be in the woods on the side of the way back to the city, and he happened to see this scene. The Qing army entered the city in one fell swoop, and he knew that the strength of the defenders alone would definitely end up in defeat, so he rushed to Qingyuan County overnight to ask the Ming army for help. As for why he didn't choose Sanshui County, it was really because he predicted that the next target of the Qing army was Sanshui County, and he couldn't run four hooves on two legs, so he naturally didn't dare to go in that direction again.

"The cavalry of the brigade, there is no end in sight......" Zhou Quanbin frowned, pondered carefully, and then asked him: "There are no foot soldiers in the Tartars?" ”

"This, I really don't see this lowly position."

Simply attacking the city with cavalry, this is in line with the old saying - if things go out of common sense, they must be demons. Zhou Quanbin reminisced about the words of the Ming army over and over again, and asked directly if there was anything he didn't understand, but the more he asked, the more strange he became, strange about the tactics of the Qing army, and even more strange about the purpose hidden behind it.

"Someone has to be sent to see it."

It is absolutely not enough to rely on the words of such a Ming army who saw the Qing army entering the city on the road, Zhou Quanbin needs more information to better judge it. Seeing this, he hurriedly sent a probe horse to explore in the direction of Sihui County.

It's just that the Ming army came on foot at first, grabbed a mule halfway to walk, and it took three days to barely meet the Ming army patrolling in Qingyuan County. When he returned to the city, he explained the situation to Zhou Quanbin, and Zhou Quanbin sent a horse to Sihui County, which was another two days of work. However, when he came back, the distance of more than 100 miles was enough for the cavalry to go down in one day, and Zhou Quanbin did not wait too long in anxiety to determine the situation in Sihui County.

"Dashuai, the Tartars have already withdrawn, and they have only stayed in Sihui County for one night, and they will leave early the next morning."

In just one night, the Qing army withdrew to the point that there was not even a single hair left. After the Tanma arrived, they conducted a basic investigation, and soon determined that the Qing army did not spend time indiscriminately killing innocents after seizing the city, but only took away enough grain and grass, and threw the prisoners into the county jail, and that's it. This style is simply the same as the Qing army in the impression of the Ming army are two biological forms from different planes, after Tanma told Zhou Quanbin all this, Zhou Quanbin couldn't believe it at the first time, but soon he figured out why the Qing army was so restrained.

"This is the drunkard's intention not to drink!"

One of the two earlier questions was why the Qing army chose such tactics. According to the return of the Tanma, the number of officials in the city, the prisoners of the Ming army, and the people of the Qing army are different, but one thing is certain, this Qing army came from the direction of Guangning County, and the banner was also Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen's, which was naturally the southwest meridian mark of the south of the Huangshui of the Dun army.

After the Battle of Yingde, Chen Kai made a report that Zhou Quanbin roughly knew how many troops the Qing army had, and those too huge numbers could be ignored directly. Moreover, according to the tactics used by the Qing army, and the fact that there is no large-scale infantry in the Qing army in all aspects, then it can be directly determined that this Qing army only has cavalry, and the number will not exceed two thousand, otherwise it will be difficult to supply, and there will be a problem of difficulty in balancing the British and German battlefields.

The number of Qing troops was small, but they still chose to deceive the county seat so far away from the Huangshui camp, and after seizing the county seat, they abandoned the city the next day, and treated it completely as a post station. Looking at the direction after they left Sihui County, then the purpose of the Qing army is self-evident.

"This, Chen Fujun must be notified as soon as possible!"

The Qing army simply attacked with cavalry, according to Zhou Quanbin's estimate, it should be more than 1,000, which is still larger than the actual number of the Qing army, but it is still the least and the closest one after the analysis of all kinds of intelligence. But the problem is that even such a number is not at all what the Qianchong Town under his command, which only has 400 cavalry, can fight against, and even if the guards of Sanshui Zhongzhen and the reinforcement of Guangzhou Houzhen are counted, it is a tie with the Qing army.

However, when Chen Kai set out on the expedition, he only dispatched various towns to assist in guarding the Beijiang River, and there was no power and responsibility between the towns, he couldn't control Chen Yaoce and Lan Deng, and the same Lan Deng and Chen Yaoce couldn't control him, so there was no need to think about what to gather troops to chase and suppress.

"It's been a few days, and I can't catch up."

The Qing army came from the direction of Quang Ninh, where it was clear that it had also been poisoned. From Yingde to Guangning, the Qing army traveled by land in the mountains, at least a distance of more than 200 miles; From Quang Ninh to Sihui, it is only a hundred miles away; And from Sihui to Zhaoqing, it is only a hundred miles away. Infantry, the daily marching speed is calculated according to many aspects, but for cavalry, a hundred miles of road is often less than a day, even if the Qing army needs to explore along the way, it is impossible to let the horses run wildly, and they can always arrive at the beginning of the day. In other words, the few days when they were confused in Qingyuan were enough for the Qing army to cross the city of Zhaoqing and go straight to the city of Wuzhou.

Can't do nothing because you can't catch up, Zhou Quanbin hurriedly wrote an emergency, and the ideas that had been smoothed out before made the pen like a god here, almost with a wave.

The herald was called, and Zhou Quanbin raised his hand to hand over the letter to his hand, but as soon as this hand was stretched out, he suddenly hesitated. Subsequently, he waved off the heralds, carefully weighed the pros and cons of the current battle situation, and only after a long time did he call the heralds again and asked him to send the emergency to Chen Kai as soon as possible.

"How it is, let Chen Fujun decide."

The herald rushed along the official road to Yingde County, Chen Kai sneaked into Ganzhou Mansion with the Iron Man Army, Zhou Quanbin didn't know anything, and when the herald arrived, he could only continue to go north after determining that Chen Kai was not there, and he arrived at Nan'an Mansion City before turning to take a boat and going down the river.

By the time the news reached Chen Kai's case, he was already at the Ganzhou Governor's Yamen. The two armies of the Ming army had just finished resting and were about to set off, and after Chen Kai read this urgent report, he immediately pressed the two armies.

"A bunch of rubbish!"

During this time, Chen Kai scolded, of course, it was not these two armies, let alone Zhou Quanbin, who sent people all the way to deliver the letter. According to Zhou Quanbin's urgent report, it is likely that even Zhaoqing Mansion City was lost at this time. Even if the city of Zhaoqing was not lost, as long as the Qing army tried to spread rumors, it was enough to shake the morale of the Ming army in the city of Wuzhou.

All this, in the final analysis, is that the Ming army in the two counties of Guangning and Sihui is too weak. If you have to list the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Guangdong, Chen Kai believes that the last ones must be the defenders of the northern counties of Zhaoqing - they are all newly recruited soldiers, with some veteran oil, and those who can fight have been pulled by Lianchengbi to form a superintendent, which is nothing more than some defective products that have been eliminated.

But even if it is such a defective product, the number is pitiful, and the defenders of the two county towns of Guangning and Sihui together are only about 200 people, even if the regiment is in one county town, it is not enough to stuff Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen's teeth, let alone divide the two counties.

This is not the biggest problem, the key is that Chen Kai and Gao Wengui guard northern Guangdong and eastern Guangxi, and those places in the northern part of Zhaoqing Mansion are almost the hinterland. It's just some waste wood, the amount is pitiful, and with paralysis and carelessness, there is nothing new to be calculated by others.

Before Li Chengdong defrauded the city of Guangzhou, the Qing army entered Guangdong from Fujian and successively seized the two prefectures of Chaozhou and Huizhou. After seizing the two places, he first blocked the news, created false information, and then attacked and deceived the city with light troops, and destroyed the Shaowu court in one fell swoop. Even Guangzhou can play like this, the small Guangning County and Sihui County, or the famous generals of the green battalion such as Daniel Zhang and Hu Maozhen are in charge, and it is not a matter of holding the handle. ”

After the anger, Chen Kai hurriedly canceled the order of the Huangshan Group to enter the hinterland of Jiangxi in the north, and at the same time sent people from the Tiandihui to Jishui County to inform Zou Nan and order the members of the Tiandihui in Ji'an Prefecture to strictly prohibit any action. As for the Ke Chenshu group, Chen Kai assigned him the two towns that he originally planned to stay in the Ganzhou capital city to defend the alliance, and asked him to immediately go south to attack the southwest Jingbiao, and immediately rush to Wuzhou to help the war after expelling him, without delaying for a day.

"If I'm in Yingde County, maybe there will be a snooker-style chase, if I play well, I will use the soldiers and horses of the headquarters as the white ball, the southwest warp mark as the red ball, and the western Guangdong department as the color ball, and finally realize the opportunity to clear the table. Even though, I never intended to actually do it. But now, don't say that these evil sects are crooked, I'm afraid that if it is a day and a half late, maybe the entire battle situation between the two Guangxi will be turned upside down. This may be Hong Chengchou's last killer feature! ”

The third-line battlefield, Wuzhou Fucheng, may have always been the least valued, because Chen Kai did not plan to intervene in the war in Guangxi prematurely, but planned to directly penetrate Hong Chengchou's 10,000-mile long side in Southern Jiangxi. The wars in northern Guangdong and southern Jiangxi are all centered on this, and now Chen Kai has basically achieved his goal, but Hong Chengchou's side obviously has no intention of admitting defeat. Even if he is not Chen Kai's opponent, he will do his best to change the current battle situation.

"This dog traitor is really a big player!"

Now the problem is not to choose one of the two, let alone swallow it all in one go, Hong Chengchou's hand played, taking advantage of the emptiness in the north of Zhaoqing Mansion to reverse the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

This kind of thinking is not a good calculation. Even Chen Kai has to admit that Hong Chengchou's strategic pattern is indeed very large. It's a pity that this huge ability has been used to be a slave for my Daqing Dynasty, which really pulls the grade to the point where people can't bear to look at it directly.

While complaining, Chen Kai simply handed over the guarding work of the Southern Jiangxi region to Huangshan and set off south with Ke Chenshu. Now that it involves the side of the Ming Army in Western Guangdong, it is definitely necessary to deal with the civilian official group in Western Guangdong, this is no longer a simple military issue, Chen Kai needs to go in person, and at the same time, it is also to find the last chance, the opportunity to kill Hong Chengchou.

Returned the same way again, but this time it was not as good as when Chen Kai rushed to Yingde County to help, there were only two towns of soldiers and horses - Left and Right Commanders, Houchong Town, Guarding the Front Town, and Guarding the Right Town, which were tens of thousands of soldiers.

When the Qing army fled, they took a large number of ships with them, which inevitably affected the capacity of the Ming army. It's just that Chen Kai was in a hurry to return, so he simply transferred a lot of ships from Gongshui and Xinfengjiang to ensure that the troops going south could rush back to northern Guangdong as soon as possible.

In a hurry, Chen Kai tried his best to shield the news, went up the river, crossed Nan'an City, changed to land, and then changed to a boat in Nanxiong Mansion to reach the boundary of Yingde County.

Since he wanted to kill Hong Chengchou by surprise, Chen Kai did not plan to get off the boat in Yingde County, but got off the boat in advance, made a detour to the upper reaches of the Huangshui River, and crossed the river from there, blocking Hong Chengchou's retreat back to the three counties of Lianshan.

The simulation on the map Chen Kai has done many times, and it is still very possible to stop Hong Chengchou by doing so. However, there is a problem, that is, once the southwest warp standard is forced to fight against the water, then it may only rely on the grenadiers and the Iron Man Army to break the formation. After all, Han Bingxian's methods back then, Hong Chengchou had read so many books, it was unlikely that he didn't know.

Such worries have been pressing on Chen Kai's heart since the beginning of his plan, until the army entered the boundary of Yingde County and Li Jianjie sent a messenger, and Chen Kai's worry finally fell into his heart.

Because, the prey, is gone.
