Geng Zhongming's strategy is not so profound that it is incomprehensible, and his strategy is quite simple. That is to move the main force of the Shenzhou army, especially the army defending their logistics, to the west with all his might, so that he can lead the main force to easily capture Xinyu.

He firmly believes that as long as the logistics of the Shenzhou Army are cut off, then the initiative on the battlefield will be firmly in his hands. And his harassing troops, under great sacrifices, did indeed do it.

As for how to use the results of this more than 30,000 people and more than 10,000 lives, it depends on the ability of Geng Zhongming and the army of up to 80,000 people led by him, can they capture Xinyu City? We'll talk about that in the next section.

"Alas! This battle is really not interesting! ”

"Tuk"

No need to ask, this is naturally our General Huang throwing knives again, and his chief of staff, Dai Zhijun, as usual, has set up a vegetable cutting mound for that place.

Now he is very familiar with Huang Gu, when Huang Gu was the commander of the army, Dai Zhijun was his teacher. Although Dai Zhijun does not regard himself as a teacher, this Huang Gu still has a somewhat traditional tradition of respecting teachers.

Therefore, the relationship between the two is even more irreversible now, although both of them have the "full mountain run" that uses the mountain run alone, but they always like to stay together, so this location has been changed from the past command vehicle to the war room of the first army of the Shenzhou Army.

Except for the occasional quarrel between the two, they will drive their subordinates out, and this place is usually overcrowded.

Dai Zhijun, who was reading the documents and writing instructions, was not moved by Huang Gu's complaints at all, anyway, now that he has a vegetable chopping mound and a flying knife to accompany him, Dai Zhijun doesn't bother to pay attention to him.

Although, the supply line is in full swing, but the war here, if you want to use Huang Gu's words.

"What the is this here to fight, it's purely to see the scenery."

The two main divisions did not encounter decent resistance at all, and even Zhuzhou, the southern gate of Changsha, had fallen in only half a day's work under the vigorous and resolute attack of the Shenzhou army. Then, after capturing Xiangtan, the eight main regiments spread out on the land of Hunan, galloping north on the land of Hunan, not only gradually encircling Shaosha.

The only thing that Huang Gu is dissatisfied with is that there is really no oil and water to fish in the attack battle of Changsha, and in the siege battle of Changsha, Huang Gu is slightly pressed back because of the problem of the supply line, so he is really unhappy!

The Qing soldiers in central Hunan, who had no main force, encountered the attack of the Shenzhou army, and they all scattered with the wind like chaff in the wind, fleeing to Yuezhou in the distance. There, Geng Zhongming's army of 30,000 had fled to Yuezhou City with Changsha's grain, grass, gold and silver not long ago, and was to hold on there until Geng Zhongming retreated there if he was defeated.

Today's battle is really nothing to start with, everyone must remember that when the Tiger Leap Battle, the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Shenzhou Army had already sent a large number of agents to Hunan, and now there are more of them than in the past.

Therefore, when Geng Zhongming here must have made a plan and secretly started to act, Huang Gu already knew. Such a battle, how can it not make Huang Gu, a general who often fights bloody and vicious battles, feel unhappy!

For such a combat method, Dai Zhijun really has nothing to complain about. After all, you look at the cards in your opponent's hand to play, and victory is inevitable, it just depends on how you win.

Of course, war is one of the most complex arts in the world. In the past, the Qing army was not afraid of the total number of 400,000 troops, but this time there was only Geng Zhongming's 200,000 army and some miscellaneous troops, and victory was certain.

However, Geng Zhongming's bold action this time made the top leaders of the Shenzhou Army also realize that the Qing army was far from being defeated, after all, they still occupied most of the rivers and mountains. Moreover, the incident where Yue Xiaofei opened his mouth to the lion of the Dutch Kingdom for the sake of the future is estimated to be about to break out.

At that time, if the Shenzhou Army falls into a situation of fighting on two fronts, especially if the sea material route is restricted by the joint efforts of Western countries, what kind of situation will arise at that time? So the end of the war is still a curiosity!

Of course, for Geng Zhongming, a surviving general and army, Huang Gu also prepared a big dish for him, depending on how the Xinyu Battle was fought, as long as it was fought well, not only would it eat a strong corps of the Qing army, but also believed that it would further lower the morale of the Qing army, so it would not be a difficult thing to occupy the whole country over time.

It's just that this time the rolling thunder battle not only has to annihilate the Tianyou army, but especially to frighten the Qing army, so that they will be frightened, so the battle here in Changsha will be fancy. The movement should be big, but the elimination of Geng Zhongming will become less important, but more attention should be paid to the benefit.

Just when Huang Gu was complaining and Dai Zhijun was ignoring it, the staff officer brought the report. According to their tradition, it has always been handed over to the chief of staff, and the commander who will only be in the mood when he fights will not be in the mood to read the information.

"Hmm, sir, that kid from Matthew is playing well, the raiding department of the Heavenly Estimators has been leveled, and the road is blocked, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Geng Zhongming to get the news!"

Huang Gu originally emptied the flying knife in his hand, and was about to pull it off the vegetable cutting pier, when he stopped listening to Dai Zhijun's words, and responded with some surprise.

"So fast, Matthew, this kid, is really a good one!"

Thinking that the combat power of his generals was so outstanding, especially after seeing Matthew's plan to eliminate this harassing enemy, Huang Gu rushed to look forward to today, after all, this Matthew was one of his favorite generals. At least in his Huang Gu's eyes, he is a talent worth cultivating.

"Yes, it's not bad, they used intelligence well this time, but I don't know if they can catch up with the encirclement and annihilation of Geng Zhongming?"

Dai Zhijun has always been a little opposed to Huang Gu's mobilization of foreign mercenaries to copy Geng Zhongming's back road, after all, after the Shenzhou Army entered Hunan, the materials were mainly transported by land, and the speed was much slower than that of the Ganjiang River in Jiangxi, which led to the sea. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Dai Zhijun has always hoped that foreign mercenaries would be stationed on Yuan Shui to protect the lifeline of the Shenzhou Army.

But Huang Gu didn't think so, he replied like this.

"Okay, my chief of staff, I didn't see that you and I clearly wrote in the combat mission book, occupy the entire territory of Hunan, and completely annihilate the Qing army Geng Zhongming's group, and at the same time play a majestic and frighten the enemy! Therefore, I think these foreign devils will go to Geng Zhongming's back road, so that they can be completely annihilated, as for the battle, they still have to be fought by those monsters, so that they can not play majestic. So, Matthew they have to be out and about as soon as possible! ”

Dai Zhijun knew that Huang Gu was right, and because there was a legion level in this operation, Yue Xiaofei and Murong Zhuo, who had already run to Ganzhou, naturally only had strategic intentions, and the rest was decided by Huang Gu's First Army Command.

Strategically, the first is to occupy the route from the Yangtze River side to Chongqing, and secondly, to show force when Geng Zhongming's army is annihilated. Just as he did to Zhu Yujian back then, to make the Qing court and their officials and soldiers afraid, in terms of psychological warfare, this is the fundamental combat goal.

As for the territory, Yue Xiaofei and Murong Zhuo were not so greedy. Just a stall left by the Longwu Dynasty, they don't have time to digest it, let alone attack the north of the Yangtze River, so they are afraid of "indigestion"!

Therefore, the generals and staff officers under Huang Gu and Dai Zhijun planned this "Rolling Thunder Campaign" on the premise of the above goals, which required the display of the new troops that were feared by people, and intended to exaggerate their power, and to spare some Qing court officials so that they could personally bring the news back to Beijing.

Of course, it doesn't scare them into wanting peace, just to slow down for a while and digest the territory. As well as the production of new weapons, equipping new armies, and most importantly, trying to rescue Yuwen Xiuyue, if these conditions are met, it will be the last moment to drive out the Tartars, and of course, Yue Xiaofei...... It's time.

Huang Gu shook the news in his hand and said: "I want Matthew to personally lead his main force to quickly rush to the west of Xinyu under the premise of ensuring the safety of the communication line." The enemy attacks from the flank, but they have to attack as the war book says, and they have to ...... After that, you can ......! ”

When Dai Zhijun heard Huang Gu's order, he didn't say anything more. After all, there are three cities on the communication line, and the army left behind may not be strong enough to attack, but the strength of the defense is more than enough. Therefore, he didn't say more, but took out the combat mission book that had been prepared long ago from the folder and handed it to Huang Gu for him to sign.

This is Huang Gu's right!

At the same time, Geng Zhongming received a message from his general who had commanded and harassed the army, that the enemy army had moved west exactly according to his plan, and that his army of up to 80,000 had already set up camp in the nearby mountains of Xinyu City, and the Xinyu Offensive was about to begin.

However, due to the strict sealing of the news of foreign mercenaries, the news on the east and west sides of this Sichuan Road was completely cut off, and from now on, it was not until Geng Zhongming encountered those terrible things that he realized that the trap was sometimes not always advantageous to him.

At this moment, Xinyu, the defenders of the city are only one regiment, plus the rocket artillery company of the first division of the army. An entire regiment of the 1st Division, as well as the main force of the artillery battalion, were left in Ganzhou City by Zheng Hongkui, after all, it was the hub for the transportation of war materials, and it was also the general headquarters of the Shenzhou Army, so there was nothing to do.

As for Xinyu, Zheng Hongkui, who has fought all his life, of course knows the importance there, but the commander of the corps has an order, and only one regiment is allowed to stay there.
