Chapter 32: Fighting with Heaven

Duoduo's so-called 100,000 people and 30,000 Eight Banners are pure exaggerations, but this also proves that the Qing army occupies an absolute advantage in strength on the Huzhou battlefield, but in the past, Duoduo's idea was to break the city first and then send reinforcements, so he sent Liu Liangzuo and the Xu brothers to snipe Liu Yongxi.

But it turns out that a general like Liu Liangzuo can't deal with Liu Yongxi at all, and I'm afraid that replacing Li Benshen will be the same ending, so Duoduo changed his thinking and decided to postpone the siege and focus on reinforcements.

As long as Liu Yongxi's 30,000 people come to Huzhou's aid, Huzhou City will naturally be self-defeating, but the only flaw in this strategy is that the Eight Banners will personally go out to fight with the Jinhua thieves, but Duoduo has already figured it out: "Before, our army always wanted to use the generals to reduce the troops to consume the Jinhua thieves, but the Jinhua thieves had no loss, and the Eight Banners were folded into a lot, and now we are fighting a decisive battle with the Jinhua thieves, even if we consume thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, we have to win this battle, I think Liu Yongxi can still have any means!" ”

The generals of the Qing army, including Gushan Ezhen Bai Yin Tu and Li Shutai, the squire of the Criminal Department, all understood that Duoduo had found a real strategy to defeat the enemy, and this kind of dignified and decisive victory The Qing army has always been invincible in the world, and this can also maximize the role of a group of generals and soldiers: "King Yu is wise, this battle will inevitably wipe out the entire army of Jinhua thieves!" ”

Duoduo laughed: "Our Eight Banners has never been invincible! ”

This reminded him of the glorious scenes of a series of battles such as Songshan, Yishi, and Tongguan.

And the Yue army is also jubilant, although this battle made Liu Liangzuo and the main force of the Xu brothers run, but the annihilation of thousands of Eight Banners Army and Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain has made everyone feel satisfied, many people were originally completely bottomless about sending aid to Huzhou, but now they feel that Liu Yongxi's command art is impeccable.

That was the Eight Banners and the Mongolian Army of the Outer Domain, the legendary existence of three heads and six arms, but in the head-on decisive battle, the Yue Army had the upper hand and annihilated it, making everyone full of confidence, so now Liu Yongxi's army has several more uninvited Huzhou rebels.

Although the Huzhou rebels added up to less than 2,000 people, but with them to cooperate with Huzhou, it became the home of the Yue army, and with the addition of these rebels, the Yue army was greatly boosted, and even the Ming army of Jiaxing and Hangzhou sent a reinforcement of nearly 1,000 people to rush to help.

Yu Huang, the secretary of the military department who came from Jiaxing, said very excitedly: "Cheng Guogong specially asked me to say hello to Yue Guogong, Cheng Guogong said that Jiaxing has his sailors all the way to help fight, and there is no big problem, if it really doesn't work, he can also copy the back road of the Qing army!" ”

But Liu Yongxi is most worried about Liu Kongzhao, the Chengguo Gong, although Liu Kongzhao also has some experience in water warfare, but in the past he controlled the water division of the river, but now it is an out-and-out naval battle, he really wants to fight with the Qing army on the water, he doesn't think Liu Kongzhao can have much chance of winning.

But no matter what, this is his father, and he can send 800 reinforcements to support him at such a critical moment, Liu Yongxi naturally can't say anything, he can only say with a smile: "Da Sima's reinforcements have arrived, and the battle of Huzhou has a better chance of winning, by the way, who is in charge of the overall situation in Jiaxing Mansion now?" ”

Now that Jiaxing Mansion has Chen Yuan, Zhang Huangyan, and Liu Kongzhao in charge at the same time, Liu Yongxi is worried that there will be a conflict between them that will affect the overall situation, and Yu Huang gave a clear answer: "Naturally, Zhang Cangshui is the general leader of the overall situation, and this time sending me to help Huzhou is also what Zhang Huangyan meant, which is really terrifying!" ”

Liu Yongxi didn't expect Zhang Huangyan to be sharp after he came to Jiaxing, and directly overwhelmed Liu Kongzhao and Chen Yuan, the two generals, but this is also a very normal thing, after all, a hero like Zhang Huangyan will have such an extraordinary performance: "It is a good thing that Zhang Huangyan is in charge of the overall situation, and I am relieved to have him!" ”

Mrs. Xing was also relieved to hear this, after all, sending aid to Huzhou can be said to be a dangerous move, although it defeated Liu Liangzuo and the Xu brothers, but the strength gap between the Ming and Qing dynasties is huge, no matter which aspect of the problem is the situation of the whole line being scattered, now Jiaxing can not only stabilize the situation under the onslaught of the Qing army, but also send troops to support Huzhou, so that she trusts Liu Yongxi's judgment even more.

Of course, the situation in Jiaxing has eased, it does not mean that the crisis has passed, after sending Yu Huang away, Mrs. Xing closed the door and asked softly: "Husband, can Shengping stabilize the situation in Hangzhou now?" ”

When it comes to Xing Shengping, Liu Yongxi is also a little helpless, after all, Xing Shengping is the first time to take on such a heavy responsibility, although his troops are superior, but the main force of the 20,000 Qing troops in Hangzhou City is not vegetarian, and the biggest problem is that Liu Yongxi does not know how much ability Xing Shengping has.

After all, in another time and space, Xing Shengping is just an unknown person, Liu Yongxi has never heard of his name, and Xing Shengping can get to this position half because of his kinship with Mrs. Xing, and the other half is because of Liu Yongxi's full support, although there are also personal efforts, but a series of coincidences make him an indispensable key figure in the Yue Ming army, and Liu Yongxi also had to let Xing Shengping be responsible for the siege of Hangzhou.

But where is the upper and lower limit of Xing Shengping's ability, Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing themselves have no bottom, so Liu Yongxi finds it difficult to answer Mrs. Xing's question: "Madam, I can't answer this, but we have to believe in Shengping, he brought Yao Zhizhuo to support us, which shows that Shengping has the bottom in his heart!" ”

Yao Zhizhuo's reinforcements arrived almost at the same time as Yu Huang, although there were only 980 people, but this also shows that Xing Shengping's judgment of the battle situation in Hangzhou is very optimistic, and the Hangzhou battlefield is no longer under Liu Yongxi's control, Liu Yongxi can only choose to fully trust Xing Shengping: "Madam, you help me write a letter to Xing Shengping!" ”

Mrs. Xing knew what Liu Yongxi wanted to promise to encourage Xing Shengping: "Okay, I'll write, even if it doesn't count, now I have to let Shengping think more!" ”

Seeing that Mrs. Xing was so optimistic about Xing Shengping, Liu Yongxi made up his mind: "I can't write, we don't have to put pressure on Shengping, I believe Shengping can handle everything, and ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Kongxi became full of confidence: "Even if Shengping suffers some setbacks in Hangzhou, as long as we win a big victory in Huzhou City!" ”

Rather than entrusting his fate to the hands of others, it is better to fight by himself, and Liu Yongxi left Hangzhou with less than 15,000 people, but now there are almost 20,000 people under his command, which makes Liu Yongxi feel that even if he fights with the Eight Banners in a dignified and dignified battle, he has a 30% chance of winning.

Since there is a 30% chance of winning, then I should fight with the will of heaven.
