Chapter 519: Anqing
Li Xiucheng's answer was speechless: "This is both the meaning of the king of heaven and the meaning of the king of heaven......
His answer is too confusing, but Zhang Lexing can understand that the King of Heaven can no longer control the entire Taiping Army, so he sometimes supports the troops to enter Kaifeng, and sometimes makes completely different expressions, but this is also a good time for him to annex the Taiping Army: "Well, when I meet the King of Heaven and talk about it, I will definitely be able to reach a consensus......"
A few hours later, someone in the Taiping army already said indignantly: "Twist is twist, a group of bandits, no wonder we all entered Tianjing Wuhan, they still haven't even beaten their hometown of Haozhou!" ”
It is no one else who said this, it is the famous British King Chen Yucheng, the former "30 checkpoints back to the horse gun" has now become the most vocal one in the rest of the entire Taiping Army, which is simply a miracle.
Chen Yucheng is only twenty-one years old, this handsome young man has cooperated with the Twist Army countless times in history, but he has never looked down on these friendly troops, thinking that these friendly troops have corrupt military discipline, insufficient success, and more than defeat, and now he is even more questioning Twister: "Now that Luzhou has been lost, now if you don't make progress in Kaifeng and fight for the Central Plains, will you be in the Pheasant River to defend and die!" ”
Liu Xuanlin, who was next to him, agreed with Chen Yucheng's judgment: "King Ying, what you said is very true, there is only one way to survive now, that is, we will join forces with the twister, go all out to the north, defeat Kaifeng, avoid the soldiers of Liu Juhu, and maybe there is still a glimmer of life!" ”
This Liu Xuanlin is also a well-known figure in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, although he is several years older than Chen Yucheng, but he and Chen Yucheng have been friends since they were young, and more importantly, Liu Xuanlin not only has a martial arts strategy, but also a rare scholar in the Taiping Army. Even Zeng Guofan respected him so much that he often did not dare to call him by his name in his letters, but called him "Xuan Weng", and when he arrived at the decisive battle of Anqing. Liu Xuanlin led his troops to trap Chigangji, and said very solemnly: "Don't let Xuanweng slip through the net alone." ”
And Chen Yucheng's final defeat also has nothing to do with the whole army of Liu Xuanlin's corps in Chigangji, since Liu Xuanlin's more than 3,000 Taiping troops were wiped out, Chen Yucheng lost the ability to fight with the Qing army in the field, and could only sit and wait for death.
It's just that now Chen Yucheng not only has Liu Xuanlin by his side, but also tens of thousands of Taiping troops following him, so he also has a lot of confidence: "Xuanlin." If Zhang Lexing refuses to do it, then we will throw off the twist and do it ourselves, and there are not a few people who have the same idea as us in the twist! ”
Liu Xuanlin didn't see it that way, he said: "But what they want more is to surrender." And we are not of the same mind. King Ying, it's not a problem to open the seal, it's a problem to open the seal......"
This is a stab to Chen Yucheng, and Chen Yucheng also knows his old problem. In the Taiping Army, he can be said to be the best corps commander, winning all battles, but there is still a fatal flaw.
That is pride, fatal pride, especially the pride of victory.
In a difficult situation. Chen Yucheng can often organize the battle quite well, but when he is in an advantage, or after a victory, Chen Yucheng becomes too proud and underestimates the enemy, and after the past few years, the victory and then defeat are not only staged many times. This may have a lot to do with Chen Yucheng's youthful ambition and lack of control.
Chen Yucheng also knows his fatal flaw, but he is a young man. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he had already become a commander with a scale of 10,000 people, and he couldn't change his youthful and frivolous problems for the rest of his life, so he turned around and said: "Then you have to open the seal, there is only such a way out!" ”
"There's a way out!" Liu Xuanlin said softly: "There is still a way out!" ”
"I know!" Chen Yucheng sighed, this handsome little general sighed faintly, but he had extraordinary determination: "In this current situation, I am the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Kingdom of Heaven is me. ”
He became resolute again and continued: "Zhang Lexing wants to fight to the death with Liu Jiehu in Pheasant River Collection, this is a dead end. ”
Not to mention that Chen Yucheng can see it, even Liu Xuanlin can see the problem of Zhang Lexing's strategic layout, no problem, more than 100 miles near Pheasant River Set are the nests of twisters, and twisters can be easily replenished in these base areas, and this is their hometown, everything is convenient, it seems to be very suitable for a strategic decisive battle, or as a base for the south and Huai.
However, this strategic layout has a fatal flaw, that is, this area was originally the poorest area in the whole of Anhui, and after the Yellow River took over the Huai, the Yellow Flood area made these areas even poorer, not to mention the fatal destruction of production here after the twist.
What's even worse is that there is no city in the hands of the twisters, they are just a combination of a bunch of polders, even if the base camp of the twist is the pheasant river set, it is just a big market town, this place is the later Wuyang County, even in the county town of Anhui, this place is nothing.
They didn't even take down the city of Maozhou, and in the case of a large number of people and a lack of production and poverty, they could only make a fuss, go to a hundred miles away to plunder everywhere, and use the looted goods to support their clan, but now under the soldiers of Liu Jiehu, they can only be trapped in hundreds of miles of densely dotted polders near the Pheasant River Collection.
Therefore, Chen Yucheng continued to pound the table and said: "To the north, only to the north, there must be friends who agree with us!" ”
Although Chen Yucheng felt that the Pheasant River set trapped tens of thousands of Taiping troops, among the Hong Army, the news of the union of the Taiping Army and the Twist Army shocked Feng Sixian very much.
The combination of these two strong enemies is not good news for the next big offensive of the Eighth Division, Feng Sixian himself has already made a military order, and he must solve the enemy army in Pheasant River as soon as possible: "Now in the northern Anhui region with Pheasant River Set as the core, there are Twist Army and Taiping Army everywhere, and the total number is 200,000 according to the most optimistic estimate!" ”
"What a group of bandits who can't be killed!" Immediately, the officers of the Eighth Division shouted: "How many tens of thousands of them did we kill last time?" Fifty thousand? Sixty thousand, so many popped up again when I turned around. ”
"So His Royal Highness has repeatedly told you that twisting is a political issue, not a military issue, and we must divide and fight for it as much as possible."
In a sense, what Liu Chang said is indeed the truth, the twist is the inevitable result of population pressure and political darkness, but the problem is how to solve the twist army, Feng Sixian said very bluntly: "Now several strategic directions, Fujian and Anhui provinces are the thinnest troops!" Fujian still has one division and two brigades, and we only have one division and one regiment in Anhui, plus an infantry regiment borrowed from Jiangxi, if we don't count the militia, township soldiers, county independent companies, and state capital independent battalions, the total strength is only 16,000 people. ”
Even if the independent battalions and independent companies that are local troops are counted, the strength of the entire Anhui battlefield is only a regular army in the early 20,000s, and the Taiping, Twist, and Qing armies they face may have a total strength of nearly 300,000 if the quality is not taken into account.
"One against twenty!" Feng Sixian quickly concluded: "And we have a big advantage. ”
In fact, Feng Sixian did not count the militia, the basic militia, and the township soldiers, which actually participated in the war, and if these irregular armies were included, the total strength of the Hong Army on the Anhui battlefield should be more than 100,000, but these irregular armies did not have much significance.
These units may be okay for defense, but if they are used for offense, it is of little significance, and the problem that Feng Sixian has encountered now is that the regular army is too thin, especially after losing the key support of the General Headquarters, it seems that it has become very difficult to attack Pheasant River.
Feng Sixian likes the current situation, difficulties will make him full of passion, enough energy, he wants to strive to clear the whole of Anhui in the shortest possible time, just like the twist is not an iron plate, many twist army, especially the blue flag of the twist army often contact Feng Sixian to defect to the problem.
"We may be able to make a gap in the twist army, as long as a typical one is enough!" Someone put forward such a suggestion: "For example, that Liu Sanniang is a good example, they occupy Fengyang County." ”
"After all, it's just a woman, no matter what kind of skills she has, it's just a woman!" Feng Sixian disagreed: "I suggested to Your Highness that you can seconded the Yang Fuqing Brigade from Jiangxi to Anhui, which is the team of the old Taiping Army!" ”
"The team of the old Taiping Army" means that this is only a second-rate unit in the Hong Army, but it is enough to have a second-rate infantry brigade, at least the old Taiping Army is most familiar with how to clean up the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, but Feng Sixian himself knows that this proposal will not be approved.
Now the most important battlefield is the Lianghu battlefield, both Hunan and Hubei must take the entire province, especially Hubei, even Feng Sixian himself is looking forward to the moment when Yichang is conquered, as long as Yichang is conquered, Hubei's Shi Huiji Seventh Division can return to western Anhui and completely unite with Feng Sixian.
The situation on the battlefield in Hubei has undergone earth-shattering changes since Hu Linyi's surrender, Shi Huiji, the Hubei overseer, can be said to have taken shit luck, and he has already taken most of Hubei within a few months of taking office, unlike Feng Sixian, who only won half of Anhui.
It's just that some people raised objections: "We also have the team of the old Taiping Army in Anhui, and there is more than one brigade, it depends on whether the overseers are willing to make this determination!" ”
"Where?" Feng Sixian quickly understood: "You mean Shi Dakai of Anqing!" ”
"That's right! Now it's Shi Dakai's turn to deal with it! ”
Feng Sixian immediately asked, "Didn't Shi Dakai consider Yi Zhi?" ”
"It's not just a matter of Yizhi!" A group of officers all stood up and protested against Feng Sixian's weakness: "It's a matter of changing your mind. ”
