When these people spoke, there were also people who didn't understand!

"Hangzhou?" At the moment, there are still people who don't quite understand, this time from Nanzhili to Zhejiang, from Jinling to Hangzhou, this person can't turn around all of a sudden: "Hangzhou is nearly a thousand miles away from Jinling, how can the thief army attack Hangzhou?"

And they set out from Jiujiang, all the way to Hangzhou, their supply line is simply impossible to maintain! ”

But as soon as this person finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, and directly changed his words: "No, the thief army is now in Xuancheng, and from Xuancheng to Hangzhou, it is only three hundred miles, if they want to attack Hangzhou, ten days is enough!" ”

At this time, more and more people thought about it and realized the seriousness: "This Li thief is so cunning, they rushed all the way to Xuancheng from the south, we thought they were going to go south and north and enter Jinling, but we didn't expect that the target of this Li thief was not our Jinling at all, but Hangzhou!" ”

"That is, although it is said that the supply line of Li Thief to Hangzhou is very long, but don't forget, now that the Fujian Naval Division has been destroyed, and the Jiangnan Naval Division can only defend the mouth of the Yangtze River, the thief army can transport a large amount of ammunition and grain and grass to Hangzhou by sea, so that after the thief army arrives in Hangzhou, instead of worrying about logistics, it will get a smooth supply!"

"Mr. Yu is going to be in danger, once the thief army conquers Hangzhou, Mr. Yu's 50,000-strong army will be surrounded in southern Zhejiang, and when the time comes, it will definitely not be able to hold on to the two divisions of Li Thief and Wang Thief!"

Just when Wang Yiqi and his subordinates were greatly frightened, Li Chunjing had already led the Second Army to set off again, and this time it was not eastward, but south as Wang Yiqi expected, but it was a little slow.

As soon as the main force of the Second Army began to divert southward, its situation was immediately learned by the scouts who were constantly following them, and then immediately flew to report to Wang Yiqi in Jinling City.

At this time, Wang Yiqi was even more entangled, the thief army really went south, looking at this posture is to go straight to Hangzhou, once Hangzhou is broken by the thief army, then the general army of Yu in southern Zhejiang will be really dangerous.

There, Yu Dayou was leading nearly 10,000 thieves and more than 40,000 Jiangnan New Army to resist the third army of the king thieves, this time they had no way to retreat, so even if they fought very hard, they still struggled to support.

At this time, if Li Thief's tens of thousands of troops went straight into Zhejiang, and after taking Hangzhou, they turned around and went south, and the 50,000 troops under Yu Dayou would be difficult to fly with wings!

What to do?

Do you continue to stay in Jinling and sit idly by? But in this way, Yu Dayou's 50,000 army will be finished, and then Zhejiang will be finished, and after the two armies of the thief army converge, there is no need to think about it, almost the entire Jiangnan will definitely be finished, and it is estimated that their Ming army will only be trapped in one Jinling City.

It's not okay to sit idly by, so take the initiative? But what if the thief army didn't go to Hangzhou, but with a flick of a gun, and directly attacked Jinling City?

But he knew that the thief army had 15,000 men in the north.

Wang Yiqi hesitated, and at this time, he also deeply realized Zhang Yue's feelings at the beginning!

When Li Thief led the army to attack Yuezhou last year, the situation was almost the same, he did not dare to take the initiative to attack, and he did not dare to rescue him, almost a dilemma, and the final result was that Yuezhou fell, and the situation in Hunan was completely ruined overnight.

This Li thief is more difficult and terrifying than Hao Bonian and Wang Chaohong in the thief army!

At this time, Li Chunjing naturally didn't know that his evaluation on the Ming Army's side had already surpassed Hao Bonian, even if he let him know, he would just smile bitterly at most.

If he has enough troops, enough guns, and smooth supplies, he is willing to fight as steadily as Hao Bonian, pushing all the way through, who the is doing these messy tactics, the risk here is very high!

At this time, An Zichen also smiled and said: "My lord, I really didn't expect it, you actually want to fight Hangzhou, you are so hard to hide your humble position, the pseudo-Ming Wang Yiqi will definitely not think that we will not fight Jinling, but come to fight Hangzhou!" ”

However, Li Chunjing said: "Who said that this official must go to Hangzhou?" ”

"What, if we don't fight Hangzhou, then what are we going south?"

"I didn't say that I wouldn't fight Hangzhou, whether I fought or not, it wasn't in my own office, but what to do in Wang Yiqi!"

"Besides, this official didn't think about coming to Hangzhou before, it was only decided on a temporary basis last night!" Li Chunjing looked smiling.

"Didn't you decide what you wanted in advance?" After An Zichen heard this, his face changed color instantly: "In this way, the navy and the third army don't know either?" The Navy did not prepare in advance for the transport of supplies for the fleet? ”

Li Chun nodded: "Well, they definitely don't know now, but this official has already sent someone to send a message through five hundred miles of urgency this morning, and it is estimated that they will know in a few days!" ”

"My lord......" An Zichen's face instantly became extremely ugly: "If it is not arranged in advance, then even if we go to Hangzhou, we will not be able to get supplies, then after we arrive in Hangzhou, I am afraid that we will run out of ammunition and food!" ”

At this time, his voice couldn't help but rise, and his face was anxious: "My lord, think twice, the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Second Army, and the victory or defeat of the Jiangnan Raiders are all in the minds of adults!" ”

Li Chunjing said disapprerovingly: "Don't worry, if Wang Yiqi is not willing to sit still, he will definitely send troops to intercept us and others, and then we will fight a decisive battle with them, and Hangzhou will naturally not have to go, and the problem of insufficient supplies will not exist!" ”

An Zichen said: "How could Wang Yiqi leave Jinling City, now the Ming army will not easily leave the city and fight us in the field!" ”

The smile on Li Chunjing's face at this time was also put away: "You know about the shortage of ammunition in our army, but others don't know, and Wang Yiqi doesn't know!" ”

"If he doesn't want to see the situation in the entire Jiangnan corrupted, and in the end he can only trap the beast Jinling City and repeat the old things in Huguang last year, then he must come out and fight with this official!"

After that, he turned to look at Jinling City: "This Jinling is going to be taken down after all, and this official is unwilling to attack a fortified city defended by 100,000 troops, so he can only let him come out by himself." ”

An Zichen said more seriously: "If Wang Yiqi doesn't lead the army out of the city!" ”

Li Chunjing said: "Then we can only barely fight this Hangzhou, our army now has sufficient ammunition reserves with the army, and the defenders of Hangzhou are not strong, if Wang Yiqi does not move, we will seize Hangzhou."

It doesn't take much ammunition to attack Hangzhou, and after capturing Hangzhou, the ammunition is enough for us to support us for a period of time, waiting for the navy to urgently dispatch supplies, and don't worry about grain and grass, now that the autumn harvest has just passed, the entire Jiangnan is our granary! ”

At this time, Li Chunjing took a deep breath, and then said loudly: "Whether he comes or not, this Jiangnan, this official is going to decide!" ”

Seeing Li Chunjing like this, An Zichen knew that he couldn't stop him from taking another adventure, just like last year's Huguang battle, he couldn't stop him from running hundreds of kilometers to attack Yuezhou.

Now, all he can do is to handle the logistics for Li Chunjing.

But he was also a little curious, and he didn't know what kind of choice Wang Yiqi would make.

At the same time, in Jinling City, Wang Yiqi was already a group of staff, and the officials under his command had been discussing for a full hour, but they were never able to come up with a way to save the current crisis.

Before, they thought that as long as there was a bridgehead in Anqing, it would be enough to curb the actions of the puppet Tang thief army, and then defend the city on the Jinling side, and they didn't dare to say that they would annihilate or severely damage the thief army, and they didn't even think that they could hold Jiangnan, but it should be no problem to defend it for a year and a half.

But now it has only been more than 20 days, and it has not been a month, and even the thief army has not reached Jinling City, and the situation in the entire Jiangnan has been completely corrupted.

Hangzhou, to save or not to save? This is a difficult choice for them.

If you don't save Hangzhou, Hangzhou will definitely be finished, if you want to save it, if the army is exhausted, Jinling City may be attacked and captured, and if the troops sent are less, it may be surrounded by the puppet Tang thief army to help.

The puppet Tang thief army is very fond of encircling points to send reinforcements, and the Ming army has been guarding against this hand in the past two years.

After discussing for a long time, a deputy general said: "We go directly to the rescue of Hangzhou by land, I'm afraid it won't work, now Xuancheng is in the hands of the enemy, whether it is Dezhou or Liyang by land, it is possible to be surrounded by the enemy to help, and it is too late in time, but what if we take a boat to bypass Taihu Lake by water?" ”

Passing by water?

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of many people!

This is a feasible solution, but a new problem arises, even if you take the waterway, if you want to go to Hangzhou in the end, you always have to pass through Huzhou first, and then you can reach Hangzhou.

Even if you can bypass Huzhou, but if you want to go to Hangzhou, you can't bypass the puppet Tang thief army anyway, because as long as people wait under the city of Hangzhou, they can always wait for the Ming army to send them to the door.

So soon someone refuted that it was not appropriate to go to Hangzhou!

Now our only way is to directly find the main force of the thief army to fight to the death, as long as the main force of the Li thief is defeated in the decisive battle, all these problems will not exist.

But in the event of a decisive battle, will they be able to win the decisive battle?

The field combat ability of the puppet Tang thief army is so strong, many people present have been taught, if it is a decisive battle in the field, there is no four or five times the advantage of troops, it is impossible to fight at all!

But the man quickly said: "Even if there is little hope, but it is better than sitting back and waiting for death, if you don't go to rescue Hangzhou, then the entire Jiangnan except Jinling City, I'm afraid that all of them will fall into the hands of the thief army, even if we can still be trapped in Jinling City, but in this way, do you think we can still save our lives?" As soon as Jiangnan is lost, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal will be broken, and the world will shake at that time, even if we can still hold Jinling City, what is the use?

Moreover, Li Thief's pseudo-Tang thief army is divided into two routes, all the way south to Hangzhou, and the other way to Xuancheng, we may not have no chance! We went directly to Xuancheng, besieged and annihilated it with an army of 100,000, and then faced the main force of Li Thief, and the battle was decided! ”

When this person speaks, he is also categorical!
