Chapter Forty-Seven: The Destruction of the Army and the Killing of the Generals IV

The overall strategy of conquering Changsha is not Zhang Xuan's style at all.

It is nice to say that by taking advantage of the convenient conditions of water transportation and giving play to the role of a force multiplier, it is possible to quickly project troops in different strategic directions.

In this way, although Zhang Xuan's number is small, he can form a local advantage in troops, while the Ming army, although it has a large number of troops, cannot gather together, but is subject to Zhang Xuan everywhere.

To say something that doesn't sound good, it's to walk a tightrope.

There is only one meal, but three groups of guests are invited, and they can only rely on the turntable rate to maintain.

But once a guest makes a disturbance, or there are other reasons, and the time is delayed, it will fall out. Pedal three boats, and you are likely to fall into the water.

Therefore, Zhang Xuancai never forgot to decide or lose in a battle.

From a tactical point of view, Li Guo is conducive to a quick battle, but from a strategic point of view, it is actually Zhang Xuan who is conducive to a quick battle.

It's just that Li Guo doesn't have this vision, or has this vision, but he doesn't sacrifice himself for others to restrain Zhang Xuan's mind.

During this period of time, Zhang Xuan was not without apprehension in his heart. But there is also another kind of pleasure.

Playing with the enemy between applause is indeed a very rewarding thing.

Adventure, like victory, is an addictive thing.

Zhang Xuan's words of greeting Zhou Fuchen quickly reached Zhou Fuchen's ears.

When Zhou Fuchen heard this, his face suddenly darkened, and he said, "Bump into me." ”

The water situation under the lake is complicated, especially near the shore of the lake, it is difficult to detect what is below in advance, when Zhang Xuan assigned the task, Zhou Fuchen said this problem.

At this moment, he wanted to slap himself twice and knock out his crow's mouth.

He was just worried at the time, but now he has to face it.

First of all, in order to gather enough artillery, Zhou Fuchen moved almost all the artillery on the rest of the ships to these ships, although there were only a few ships, but all the guns added up, there were as many as fifty or sixty guns.

So much so that the artillery on the same ship could not fire a salvo, otherwise Zhou Fuchen would not be sure what would happen to the warship.

A ship, with more cannons, naturally has a deep draft. When the draft is deep, it is easier to run aground.

And Zhou Fuchen can be regarded as suffering, at the beginning, on the Huai River, there was not even a serious warship, and he cherished every warship very much.

He was reluctant to sink the ship on the shore.

But now he has to do it.

With Zhou Fuchen's order, all the ships withdrew for a distance, and then the sails were raised, countless oars were placed in the water, and everyone shouted together.

These warships struggled to the east.

But after a while, Zhou Fuchen heard a very clear voice: "Bang." "It seems

The bottom of the boat hit something.

And that's just the beginning.

The speed of the boat immediately slowed down, and even the people on board paddled hard to no avail.

Then I heard the clear sound of wood breaking, and I don't know who shouted, "The water is gushing." ”

The sailors on these ships were all selected by Zhou Fuchen from among all the sailors, and they were all veterans, and they did not need to be instructed at all, so they performed their duties, blocking the water, rowing the boat, and holding the sails, and worked hard to let the ships go east.

Fortunately, it seems that it was the water in Dongting Lake that rose in the summer, so that the boat barely approached the shore of the lake, and finally stopped around the shore of the lake.

Even these ships can't maintain even the most basic formation, they simply go somewhere, what kind of place they are. Looking down from the sky, it's as if someone has thrown a few stones to the lake.

There are horizontal boats, and there are vertical boats. There are also ships that are neither horizontal nor vertical.

As soon as the ship stopped, the ship was in shambles, and the sailors on board were mostly repairing the ship. The ship was also tossed lightly, and Zhou Fuchen obviously felt that there was a certain angle of inclination on the deck.

Zhou Fuchen was relieved when he saw that the large army was within the coverage of artillery.

"My lord, I'm afraid these ships can't be used. The planks have just been nailed underneath and barely maintained. Wang Chaoxian said, this dynasty is also a former general of the Ming army, he was originally from Sichuan, but after decades of fighting, I don't know what happened to be transferred to the Ming army's water division, and later was incorporated by the Xia army and became a subordinate of Zhou Fuchen. Because of his rich experience and experience, he is valued by Zhou Fuchen.

Zhou Fuchen said: "Don't worry about this. Can you hit it? ”

Wang Chao looked at it first and said, "I'm afraid I have to wait, the cannon position is not correct." ”

The gun emplacements on the ship relied more on the movement of the ship than on the movement of the cannons. Although it is not nailed, the angle at which it can be moved is not large.

Because the angle is a little bigger, it's useless.

At this moment, the ship is almost sitting on the edge of the lake, and the angle of the ship naturally cannot be adjusted. If you want to open fire, I'm afraid you will have to re-fix the gun position.

Zhou Fuchen's eyes shrank, what did he see?

He saw dozens of small boats, these small boats are all that kind of small sampans, each of which can only carry a few people, such boats, it can be said that there are everywhere south of the Yangtze River, and there is no need to look for them at all.

Even the Ming army can find some temporarily.

Zhou Fuchen could naturally see what they wanted to do? I want to take the ship.

Maybe Li Guo didn't know what Zhou Fuchen wanted to do.

But based on the principle that what the enemy wants to do, I must stop. Li Guo sent some people to seize the ship.

Don't look at these people, there are not many people, but Zhou Fuchen's several ships have also separated, and after they run aground and sink, they can't move at all, and the manpower scattered to each ship may not be more than these people.

"An hour." Zhou Fuchen tore off his coat and exposed his belt, but saw four or five handcuffs hanging on the belt. "After an hour, if you want to shoot at me, if you can't fire, I'll destroy you."

Wang Chaoxian didn't dare to slack off and said, "Yes." ”

The battle in the north is in full swing, and the war has reached the middle game. The loyal battalion attacked fiercely, but what is Zhang Xuan's true colors? In other words, Zhang Xuan's talent attribute is tenacity.

This kind of war is better at playing, and the loyalty battalion may be able to suppress Zhang Xuan, but if you want to take down Zhang Xuan, you have to think too much.

When the battle here was in a hurry, Cao Zongyu's side was also a little unexpected.

Ma Luan knew that he couldn't fight, and he also knew that the soldiers under his command were more just appearances. But he used

Came up with a trick.

This trick is called the Golden Bullet Tactic.

However, this golden bullet is not to smash others, but to smash one's own.

Money can't solve all problems, but it can solve a considerable part of them. Ma Luan tried his best and finally raised forty or fifty thousand taels of silver.

Many of these 40,000 or 50,000 taels of silver are filial piety money given by the people below.

In the financial system of the Ming Dynasty, although there was a difference between the private wealth of officials and the public wealth of the imperial court, it was quite easy to convert it.

This lot of money can be regarded as the Ma family's family property.

But he didn't keep a penny. First, Ma Jia is the hereditary commander of Guiyang, and it can be said that the prestige of the rich family in Guiyang is no less than that of the local Tusi. He didn't value much silver.

Second, he also knew that if he wanted to keep the glory and wealth of the Ma family, he had to keep Ma Shiying's status, and if he wanted to keep Ma Shiying's status, he had to keep the small court of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, the small court of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver for Majia, it will not be able to hold it.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

Tens of thousands of taels of silver smashed down, naturally the people below were smashed screaming, and the people below were still willing to sell their lives to the bosses who were generous, this state was the same in ancient and modern times.

With the morale bonus of the golden bullet, one is that Ma Luan's department, and Cao Zongyu's department, actually can't fight each other.

There is also a question for Cao Zongyu here.

The interior of Cao Zongyu's department is also very complicated. Cao Zongyu's headquarters is not more than 10,000 people, and there are thousands of Zhang Xianbi's department, but Zhang Xianbi has just presented a letter of nomination, and he will be repaired for the time being.

The real main force is Wang Lung's subordinates.

I don't know if there is a problem with the cooperation between Wang Long's subordinates and Cao Zongyu, or if Wang Long's subordinates haven't fought for more than a year, they have been softened by Jiangnan Fengyue. And then there's the fact that they can't look down on Ma Luan's department.

Or a combination of all three.

In short, after the fight, the situation surprised Cao Zongyu. The two actually fought each other. Cao Zongyu almost couldn't believe it.
