864 Border

From Li Dingguo's standpoint, he had made a mistake because he was too reckless, and Tianlang was the person he respected the most, so no matter who said anything, he had to show the awe that he had as a courtier in front of Tianlang.

However, he still has a personality after all, he insists that he is not an actor, and there is no need to accompany anyone to continue to act.

Shi Changge's expression was very calm, no matter how shocked she was to see this scene.

Although she learned the identity of Tianlang, she knew her identity better after all, and Tianlang asked her to keep her, but in front of the heroes of the two famous kings, she had better be an invisible person.

Tianlang was not dissatisfied, and the conversation quickly got to the point, Li Dingguo first blamed himself, and did not shirk the responsibility that he and his deputy marshal Chen Youlong led more than 200,000 troops to attack a city but could not capture it for a long time.

Li Dingguo also wants to change this anxious war situation as soon as possible, after all, if such a big war continues endlessly, the casualties and the cost of food and grass and military salaries are also unbearable for today's Ming Dynasty.

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Tianlang watched the battle of Wuchang City for a long time, where from time to time there were cloud ladders on the city wall, and one after another fell, and the soldiers were fearless to launch a charge again and again.

Compared with Liu Wenxiu, Ma Jinzhong, and Li Jin's sneak attack on Shaanxi, the Battle of Hanyang in Wuchang was the first hard-hitting counterattack launched by Tianlang against the main force of the Qing army, and Jierharang was bound to defend it to the death.

The battlefield filled with gunsmoke, the sound of artillery, the weaving of bows and arrows, and the hum of war drums could be felt under your feet.

The flames, the banners, and the earth were washed in blood.

Is this a coincidence? At this time, the territorial boundaries of the Ming and Qing dynasties closely resembled the original territorial pattern between the rise of the Jin Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, which also controlled Shaanxi at that time, and the two sides were bounded by the Han River and the Yangtze River.

It's just that now the Qing army has more than 600,000 standing troops and one million armor.

But what about Daming? I don't know if there will be Yue Fei after Yue Fei?

The borders of the Ming and Qing dynasties have now been temporarily stabilized, and the situation on the battlefield is much clearer. Under the stalemate, the Ming army is slowly occupying the initiative, but if it wants to really seize the initiative, it will have to face a real hard battle.

The Qing army was underarmed, so when they were embattled, they were bound to choose to hold the bottom line, which was Hanyang, Wuchang, Jiujiang, Nanjing, Xuzhou, Jinan, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Datong, Taiyuan and Beijing.

Among them, Hanyang, Nanjing, Datong and Beijing are the most important.

Capture Hanyang, Nanjing is in danger, and the Daming Naval Division can directly reach the southern capital by crossing Jiujiang and Anqing.

Take Datong, Beijing is in danger, or go to Xuanda, or go to Bauhinia Pass, anyway, Sijiu City will tremble, Tianlang is asking for Dorgon's life, but he can't give it.

In order to be safe, Dolgon had just gathered heavy troops to capture Datong not long ago, and the troops needed to be repaired, and in desperation, he had already acquiesced to this temporary situation of being passively beaten.

However, he used three main forces to defend the three provinces on the border with the Ming army.

In addition to Nanjing, there was Prince Azig of Heshuoying to defend Shanxi, with a force of 189,000 troops.

In addition, Prince Zheng of Heshuo and Uncle Zierharang of Xinyi assisted to defend Henan, Huguang and Jiangxi, and their troops had a total of 80,000 people in five solid mountains, including Leke Dehun and Tan Tai and Zhu Mala. There were also 25,000 people from Zilharang's own Manchurian blue flag, and 7,500 people from Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan. and the 20,000 men of Geng Zhongming, the king of Huaishun.

Summing up, in Jierharang, on the opposite side of Tianlang, a total of 132,500 soldiers and horses can be directly mobilized, and the defensive area is Hanyang, Wuchang, Henan, and Jiangxi.

It seems that compared with the 300,000 troops arranged by Tianlang under Wuchang City, they are at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but they are all full of Mongolian elites, only Geng Zhongming and Ma Guozhu's more than 27,000 people are Han troops, which is also the Han army with the strongest combat effectiveness, and it is by no means comparable to the security regiment of Liu Liangzuo and Zuo Mengeng.

"Rujing, what do you say is the most lacking in Wuchang City at present? If the key to this problem can be found, the city may be breached in three days. ”

Tianlang finally opened his mouth.

Li Dingguo's first reaction after hearing this was slightly disappointed, what is lacking in Wuchang City? After more than a year of hard fighting, although the defenders suffered considerable losses, they still garrisoned tens of thousands of horses and horses of Luck Dehun, Geng Zhongming and Ma Guozhu, which can be called enduring.

Wait a while, why does the emperor ask this? If you want to say that Wuchang City is lacking, it is undoubtedly grain and grass.

This is the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River, since the day of the emperor's wedding, Chen Youlong was ridiculed by Haibian for laughing at Gao Bizheng and Hou Xing's illiteracy, and also met Deng Kai's kind of bias, the emperor felt embarrassed, so he sent him to attack Xiangyang, and then he was stationed in this strategic place in the upper reaches of Hanyang, and then practiced the navy in the Han River Basin.

Now the competition between this naval army and the naval army of Jierharang in Hanyang, Wuchang, has always been in an advantageous position, resulting in the frequent cutting off of the supply lines between Zheng Wangye in the Han River and the Yangtze River.

Even Zilharang himself was miserable enough, and the defenders of Wuchang ate even more than the next meal.

"Your Majesty, the Qing army of Wuchang, of course, is most short of food!"

"Well, that's it, there is a saying in the soldiers, what you take in advance must be given first, what they lack, we have, we will give him what they lack, it depends on whether he is brave enough to come and get it."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Li Dingguo, Deng Kai and other battlefield veterans, even Shi Changge's eyes lit up, Shi Changge immediately clenched his fists and asked: "General, oh no, the last general should call you the emperor, dare to ask if this is the task assigned by the emperor to the last general?" ”

Tianlang Wan'er, said in a calm tone: "Lead the snake out of the hole, of course, let the poisonous snake not detect the existence of danger, Rujing's people and horses are more fierce, the killing breath is too strong, at first glance it is a soldier, and Chen Youlong's troops are generally like this, military discipline is relatively strict, it seems that only the Guangxi local army you brought is good, it really means that they are not like soldiers, they seem to be able to do anything, and they are very slippery, Guilin school field review, there are people who can fall asleep under my nose, so find some people who look like simple farmers to pretend to be people, It should be easy. ”

Shi Changge lowered his mouth, very angry, could it be that the master is a soft persimmon? But she didn't say this, no matter how much she mocked the master, as long as she won this task, she would let you take a good look at the master's methods, hum.

Shi Changge wrinkled his nose and silently ordered his life.

Next, it was time to set up the stage and prepare props, and Shi Changge was surprised by Tianlang's meticulous seriousness when making plans.

"I can't imagine that a big man can do things to such a fine degree," Shi Changge muttered.

"Shouldn't men be fine? Especially the way of survival in life and death, "Tianlang actually heard it, his ears were so smart.
