The Great Western Army in Chengdu received bad news, and the Qing army came to a position thirty miles away from Chengdu before Zhang Dingguo, who came to the rescue, and could launch a fierce attack on Chengdu at any time.

Zhang Kewang had a headache.

But there's no way around it.

The Qing army occupied Weicheng and stuck the official road, and Zhang Dingguo couldn't take Weicheng and could only choose to go around.

Taking the small road and mountain road is definitely not as fast as taking the official road, and before you know it, the Qing army has taken the lead.

As the current Emperor of Onishi, Zhang Kewang will face such a problem as soon as he ascends the throne, and he will have a headache.

And there is no room for the slightest mistake, and a single mistake can bury the whole situation.

On the one hand, Zhang Kewang summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and on the other hand, he sent sentinels to investigate the movements of the Qing army.

His overall strategy is to delay, as long as Zhang Dingguo's army is dragged back, the odds of victory will be much higher.

Since it is necessary to delay, of course, it is not possible to blindly retreat to Chengdu, and it is necessary to rely on the outer defense line to delay the advance of the Qing army.

Zhang Kewang had already made the corresponding arrangements before, and now he was just discussing some details.

There were still a lot of forts near Chengdu, and Zhang Kewang thought that it would be impossible for the Qing army to uproot all these forts without seven or eight days.

Zhang Kewang carried out a blood-boiling mobilization, hoping to stimulate the blood of the soldiers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've said that. Now it's up to you. No matter what, I will never give up Chengdu, and I hope you will work together with me to kill the Tartars and strengthen Bashu! ”

"Kill the Tartars, Gubashu!"

"Kill the Tartars, Gubashu!"

"Kill the Tartars, Gubashu!"

Everyone responded in unison.

......

......

In the camp of the Qing army, Bo Luo sat in the center, and Hong Chengchou and Tong Yanghe were on his left and right.

After these years of training, Bolo has retreated from his fledgling youthfulness and has become more and more imposing of a superior.

He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Chengdu is in front of you, Benbel does not dare to be careless with the order of the regent, and he must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop." You also talked about how to break the situation now. ”

There were only two or three people who could speak in front of Bolo.

Hong Chengchou, as the governor appointed by the Qing court and the celebrity in front of the regent Dorgon, took the lead in speaking out.

"Lord Belle, in the foolish opinion of the minions, you can't be too anxious to attack Chengdu, you need to uproot the fortresses around it first and then besiege it."

Although Hong Chengchou mastered the tactics of shelling up the city, after all, it was only used once when attacking Baoning, and it is unknown whether it will work when attacking a fortified city like Chengdu. In this case, if you rush to go deep alone, you will not be able to defeat Chengdu for a while and a half, and you will be attacked by the Western Army before and after, it will really be cold.

And if the fortresses around Chengdu are uprooted first, even if Chengdu cannot be defeated for a while and a half, they can choose to retreat, and they will not be blocked by the Western Army.

Bolo pondered for a moment and sighed, "Ben Belle doesn't want to do what Mr. Hong just said. It's just that Ben Baylor also has a dilemma. That Zhang Dingguo will definitely come back to help, and when he returns to Chengdu, won't it be more difficult for us to attack? When I was in Weicheng, Ben Belle wanted to recruit him, but this guy was stubborn, and it seemed that it was impossible for me to use him. This guy is quite capable, and I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army if it drags it on. ”

Bolo said so much in the final analysis, it can be summed up in one sentence, that is, Zhang Dingguo is very empty in him.

It is best to defeat Chengdu before Zhang Dingguo returns to help, otherwise I am afraid that there will be many dreams at night.

Why doesn't Hong Chengchou know?

The only fight with Zhang Dingguo made him realize that this young man was very capable of fighting, and he would definitely not be in the pool in the future.

However, this guy refused to surrender to the Qing Army, which was of course a big trouble for the Qing army.

"Lord Belle, Zhang Dingguo is certainly very capable of fighting, but his absolute strength is definitely under my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. The two sides opened up a duel, and he had no chance of winning. ”

In order to get Bolo to adopt his suggestion, Hong Chengchou had to reassure Bolo.

"Zhang Dingguo traveled a long way, and the soldiers must be very tired, and in this case, the field battle is to find death."

Bolo was silent for a moment.

Of course, he understands that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is invincible in the world, but such an Iron Cavalry is only obtained after thousands of choices and countless battles.

Although Bolo held such a trump card in his hand, he was a little afraid to use it.

If it was true that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry had suffered heavy losses, he would not be able to account for it from Dorgon.

Therefore, this Manchurian Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was more like a deterrent, and many opponents immediately fell to their knees and surrendered when they saw the menacing Eight Banners Army.

But if you encounter a hard bone like Zhang Dingguo who is not afraid of death, it will be troublesome.

I can't bear to fight it, and I can't take it down if I don't fight.

Bolo's sorrow.

Tong Yanghe, who was on the side, seemed to see his master's worries, and stood up very opportunely: "The slave thinks that even if Zhang Dingguo really wants to sneak attack from behind, he can use the Eight Banners Han Army to fight against him first, frustrate his spirit, and then send the Manchurian Eight Banners to make a final decision." ”

For a long time, the Eight Banners of the Han Army in Hanzhong were led by Tong Yanghe, so Tong Yanghe had a considerable degree of right to speak.

Now it seems that the Green Battalion is definitely not the opponent of Zhang Dingguo's command of the Western Army, which is vividly reflected in the Battle of Weicheng.

Then you can only use the Eight Banners of the Han Army and Zhang Dingguo to fight first.

Even if the Eight Banners of the Han Army were slightly inferior to the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, it could also greatly consume the energy of the Western Army.

This is like a horse race, and he may not necessarily compare his most powerful army with the other party as soon as he comes up.

Bolo's eyes lit up when he heard this.

That's a good idea.

Zhang Dingguo is also a human being, and the western thieves are also flesh and blood, how can they keep fighting without getting tired? The advantage of the Qing army is that it is more elite, in addition to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Han Army is also considerable. As long as you don't send the Green Battalion to face off against the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, so as to lose morale.

No matter how strong they are, their combat effectiveness will definitely drop greatly after a big battle, and at this time, if they send the elite of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Of course, the trump card should be shown at the end, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Well, this Tong Yanghe is very good, he can be anxious about what the master is anxious about. At that time, when he pacified Sichuan and asked the regent to ask for merit, he must say a few words for Tong Yang and Duomei.

As for Mr. Hong, there is nothing to blame. It can only be said that Mr. Hong was too confident and thought that the Eight Banners Army could eliminate Zhang Dingguo without any losses.

"Okay, just do it."

Bolo patted his head and said: "Send the order to go down and order the army to uproot all the fortresses near Chengdu and then besiege Chengdu!" ”

"Slaves obey!"

Hong Chengchou and Tong Yanghe responded in unison.
