In the long history of China, there are almost countless attempts to use man-made natural disasters to attack opponents.

Even in the 20th century, KMT had to dig up the Yellow River.

But in terms of effect, the actual effect of this method is not great, but it will be reduced to an indelible stain, killing 1,000 enemies and causing 800 self-losses.

For man is alive.

It's impossible to wait stupidly for the flood to wash away.

Those who are killed by the flood are often those poor people with asymmetric information......

However, the deterrent effect of this method is still very strong, and it is very difficult to defend against it.

For example, at this time, even if Xu Changqing knew the strategic intentions of the Qing army, it would be difficult to break the situation for a while.

The main forces of the Qing army have begun to fight positional defensive battles, how can you break it?

Inside the big tent.

Xu Changqing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face a little uncertain.

At this time, Xu Changqing didn't care too much about the safety of Yangzhou City, after all, Yangzhou is a blessed land, with unique conditions, and there are many channels for flood discharge.

But if the Qing army tastes this sweetness because of this, they will attack the Yellow River......

It's that Xu Changqing didn't dare to think about that kind of consequence for a while.

In memory, the Yellow River in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties had a major diversion, at this time, the Yellow River, is from Xuzhou, and the Yellow River estuary in later generations, everyone is familiar with it, is from Dongying, that is, at this time Haicheng flowed.

In case these dog Tartars really can't think of it, and they want to break the net, from Kaifeng or the surrounding areas, they really dig the mouth of the Yellow River with the help of this year's flood season......

Xu Changqing couldn't guarantee that this thing would follow the track of history and directly rush into Haicheng......

The point is that this kind of thing is terrible.

If I remember correctly, Dongying in later generations, including many parts of the city, is still the sea, which was formed by the sediment sediment brought by the Yellow River for hundreds of years......

Judging from the current situation, combined with the flood season cycle in various records, this year, even if there will be no extraordinarily large flood peaks, small-scale flood peaks are indispensable.

In particular, there is another core point.

Yangzhou because of the last Qing army to break through Xuzhou and Huainan battles, it is to make many big families here lose confidence, and their warehouses and nests have basically begun to move to the south of the Yangtze River.

At this time, even if Xu Changqing could scrape off another layer of oil and water from their skin and flesh, I am afraid that it would not be able to solve too big a problem.

This leads to!

In the short term, the model army still tends to be Xiaoyou, and it already controls part of the initiative.

But if you look at it in the medium and long term, the strategic situation of the model army, including the entire Jiangbei, is still under the control of the Qing army.

Even though the Qing army is actually not able to control it, it has the means to destroy!

How to break this situation?

……

Unconsciously, Xu Changqing had been in the big tent for a day, and when he went out to pee, he found that it was already dark.

And I don't know if I scared Chunni this stinky girl yesterday, she can't wait to come over several times a day on weekdays, but she didn't even show her face today.

This made Xu Changqing's teeth itch a little.

A woman's mouth, a deceitful ghost.

Xu Changqing didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore, cleaned up, and beckoned Wang Xi, Qin Dongxu and others to patrol the city.

The scenery of Yangzhou is beyond doubt.

At this time, although it is not to the extent of the 'Twenty-four Bridge Bright Moon Night', but the weather is not bad these days, standing on the towering city, facing the warm and comfortable little evening breeze, people's mind is easy to be comfortable and broad.

In fact, at this time, Xu Changqing had already thought of a killing move against the Qing army in his heart!

- Propaganda offensive!

But whether this killing move is a bit big, whether to sacrifice it at this time, Xu Changqing was not too sure for a while.

It's like the old saying, 'The darkness before dawn is often the most terrible.'" ’

The closer you get to this

The more cautious it is, step by step, steady as an old dog, and never give the enemy half a chance to turn the tables.

Therefore, to sum up, there is a great possibility that the model army will still go out of the city to fight!

To further attack the control of the Qing army, continue to kill their momentum, it is best to directly cut their sharpness outside the enemy before the layout of the Qing army is formed!

After all, with Yangzhou City behind it, even if the model army goes out of the city to fight, it is not as thin as before.

……

In the next two days, Chunni, the stinky girl, did not appear, but Xu Changqing did not continue to favor Chen Siyin, but focused all his attention on military affairs.

By this time, more than 20 airships had been transported overnight, and the horse team had moved from time to time, and the ammunition storage of the Model Army had recovered a lot, and it had the storage capacity to fight a local war.

But it's still a bit shallow.

If you really want to do it, you must calculate accurately, and then strike precisely, and spend all the money on the blade!

In the past two days, Xu Changqing also held three military meetings in succession, and the generals, officers and men at all levels of the model army were basically ready to go out of the city to fight.

It's just that the Qing army of the dog day is too cowardly, so after Xu Changqing thought about it, his hair fell out a lot, and he still couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

Fortunately, Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, and Liu Zhaoji have been receiving good news from their side in the past few days, they have broken through the shackles of Yancheng and forced to the bank of the river, and at most tomorrow will be able to join the Dajiang camp of the model army.

At this time, they had thirty or forty thousand good horses, and when they had the assistance of the model army, they would bring some ammunition, food and grass, and it would not be a big problem.

At this time, Xu Changqing was faced with a new choice.

In the end, it was this opportunity to make the Qing army think that it had seen through the exhaustion of the model army, and went out of the city to meet the enemy for booby-trapping.

It's better to wait until Wang Pu and them come over, and the people on both sides will come together before making a move.

The ending is obvious.

The Qing army is not stupid, if they wait for Xu Changqing and Wang Pu and others to converge, they will definitely be doubly careful!

But even with the addition of the strength of Wang Pu and others, in this state of remote positional warfare, their effectiveness is actually minimal......

Especially when Wang Pu and the others come, it will take at least five or six days, and at that time, it will be the middle of May, and at most half a month, it will enter a small flood season......

When the interruption continues, it will be disturbed!

The seventh day of the fifth month of the fourth year of the Ming Hongguang.

Xu Changqing personally led the main force of the model army and continued to go out of the city to fight!

Early in the morning, the various units of the model army quickly opened their posture, and tens of thousands of people gathered at the north gate of Yangzhou.

"Master Hou, this, how can this make ah, the Tartar is powerful, if it is so rash...... So-and-so, how to explain to the court, how to explain to the Son of Heaven......"

Xu Changqing had already communicated with the Shi Pavilion Department about this matter two days before, but the attitude of the Shi Cabinet Department was conceivable and he would never agree.

But he never thought that he had tried his best to persuade Xu Changqing, but he still couldn't take Xu Changqing's footsteps......

"Hehe, the cabinet, Changqing has made up his mind, so the cabinet department should not persuade him more. However, it's already like this, I don't know if the cabinet dares to go to the front of the Tartar with Changqing to have a look? ”

Xu Changqing looked at Shi Kefa with a smile and turned him into an army.

"This ......"

Shi Kefa couldn't help but be clever, he didn't expect Xu Changqing to come with such a hand......

Zhou Chang, Shi Dewei and others were also frightened, and they didn't know where to put their hands and feet.

In such a state, the whole body will be affected by one hair, and if you are not careful, you will lose the whole game, but Xu Changqing is still so rash......

Shi Gebu is not an ordinary person, his thinking is different from that of normal people.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Since Hou Ye has made up his mind, he naturally can't drag Hou Ye back." In this way, a certain went on the expedition with the Hou Ye. Over here, there are more than 1,000 elite riders, even if they can't help Hou Ye, there is no problem with self-preservation. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Changdao:

"Zhou Junmen, if there is a loss, the defense under a certain command will be handed over to you!"

"Cabinet, I'm ......"

Zhou Chang's soul was about to be scared away, but he didn't expect to come to this situation.

But seeing Xu Changqing's cold eyes sweeping over, how could he dare to slack off? Busy is nodding yes.

At this moment, there were elite horsemen rushing from the south, and quickly came to Xu Changqing and Shi Kefa and their party, and reported respectfully: "Master Hou, the cabinet department, Nanjing is here again, it is the former Guangluqing Ruan Dacheng Ruan Lord who led the team......

"Huh?"

Shi Kefa hurriedly looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled and greeted Huang Shu and said: "Lord Ruan is the pillar of my Ming Dynasty, and he has a very high prestige in Shilin, Lord Huang, you will receive it." Here, it all continues! ”

What kind of person is Huang Shu? Busy clasped his fists respectfully and said: "Yes!" ”

“……”

Shi Kefa was speechless for a while, and at this time, he finally understood where the gap between him and Xu Changqing was.

Xu Changqing's ruthless decisiveness, he couldn't even beat the horse.

……

The main force of the model army of more than 40,000 or nearly 50,000 went out of the city very quickly, and in a short time, the soldiers had already spread out their positions outside the city, occupying a large area of favorable space.

Xu Changqing and Shi Kefa also came to the city gate, patiently waiting for the troops to take place.

At this time, Ruan Dacheng and the others finally arrived, and they hurriedly rode their horses to chase after them, "Master Hou, the cabinet, this, this can't be helped......"

As soon as he saw the scene in front of him, Ruan Dacheng's soul was about to be frightened away, as if he was robbing the Dharma field, and he was busy shouting.

A group of entourages were also like falling into an ice cave, and hurriedly followed.

Because the model army has successfully controlled Yangzhou, they are at a very high level this time.

Although nominally it is still unofficial, there are people from the palace, the Wei Mansion, the six ministries, and the mainstream forces including the people in Nanjing, and there are nearly 100 representatives of various kinds.

Seeing a group of people chasing after him, Xu Changqing smiled and looked at Ruan Dacheng and a few others led by the humane: "Lord Ruan, everyone, could it be that a few of you also want to go on the expedition with Changqing?" ”

“……”

Ruan Dacheng and the others seemed to have been cast a fixation spell, and they were stunned on the spot one by one.

They came to Yangzhou to pick peaches, and they followed Xu Changqing on the expedition, what international jokes did they make?

A group of people waited even if it was embarrassing.

Shi Kefa also came back to his senses at this time, hesitated for a moment, seemed to have made some decision, and said with a smile: "Brother Ji, Master Hou has already made up his mind about this, and it is not the right time for you to come." However, the brother of the set is also a hero, why not go out with the army and break the enemy with the Hou Ye and my Yangzhou father, wouldn't it be happy? ”

“……”

Ruan Dacheng's already not good-looking face was like a pig's liver.

Who would have thought that Shi Kefa, who was so stuffy, would dare to scold him like this at this time, and he was willing to praise Xu Changqing's stinky feet?

These Nanjing entourages are also a little stupid.

What's going on?

Xu Changqing smiled at this time: "Lord Changqing Guan Ruan's face doesn't seem to look good." Since Lord Ruan is in poor health, let's rest in the city first. ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing greeted Wang Anshan, who was left behind, and said, "Anshan, take care of Lord Ruan." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Anshan hurriedly saluted Xu Changqing, "Lord Ruan, everyone, please!" ”

When Ruan Dacheng and the others were 'invited' to the city, they found that Xu Changqing and Shi Kefa had already left the city gate and merged into the huge bright red battle array.

Next to him, Wang Xiang, the young official of Ma Shiying's family, hurriedly swallowed and said, "Brother Ji, let, what should we do?" ”

"How is it good? Heh, hehe. ”

Ruan Dacheng's teeth itched with hatred, but he laughed angrily: "It's hard to persuade damn ghosts with good words!" Since they are going out of the city, let them go. ”
