Chapter 245: Dragon and Tiger Fight

ps: I found out that I made a mistake, at this time Jinhua Mansion should be eight counties, and now Shi Jingfen should have four counties of Jinhua, Pujiang, Tangxi, and Lanxi

Wu Hongchuan couldn't think of a good way, these brave battalions of An Yiyong and Feng Yiyong still had some combat effectiveness in other provinces, but they had no combat effectiveness at all in Zhejiang.

This is not the reason why Zhejiang, Jiang people can not fight, but the responsibility of the people in charge of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Province from Xianfeng three years to arrange Ningfang, all defense around a "defense" word as the core, to put it bluntly, is to borrow the Jiangnan battalion generals, according to the people of the time is "thieves to start the war, thieves to not chase, thieves to call the police, thieves to report merit", there is no overall planning at all.

In comparison, Hunan also practiced courage at about the same time, but the gentry of Hunan and South were planning the Eastern Expedition from the beginning, that is, to recover Jinling along the river, and the two could not be compared at all.

Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei, once said: "The country has used troops for several years, and all provinces have a number of capable generals to resist insults. I don't know. ”

This is indeed the truth, not that Zhejiang Province does not produce generals, but that several governors in power before and after Zhejiang do not have such a comprehensive plan, even if there is Zhejiang, Jiang people with bravery, most of them are the pants brother mixed with a fame, indiscriminate taro filled, but the pants brother with the courage to look at the wind and collapse, but it is still much stronger than the likes of businessmen, such as the famous Yu Bin, who is favored by the road for money lending, when the road is to repay his kindness, but also to bring him to the brave fortune, the result is to go up and down, obviously the Yong battalion has a lot of names, but can not find a team that can fight, Before the battle, he could only go to the Jiangnan camp to borrow generals and borrow troops.

The Zhejiang generals who can really fight are also Xia Baoqing and Tao Baodeng under Shi Jingfen, but these two members are Zhao'an's thieves, and they are not useful at all, not to mention that Shi Jingfen still needs them to hammer and defend Jinhua City.

It's just that Shi Jingfen attaches great importance to Wu Hongchuan, and asked again and again: "Wu Shenrong, you are in Jin, Yun Dapo Red Thief, I have high hopes for you!" ”

Wu Hongchuan knew that he was also a good person, and Shifutai was looking at the wrong person, but he would not publicly correct Shi Zhifu's mistakes, but said: "It's just a fluke, it's just a fluke!" ”

"On the battlefield, there is no such thing as luck!" Shi Jingfen is very heavy on the red boat: "Wu Shen Rong, the red thief crisscrosses more than 20 counties in the four provinces of Zhejiang Province, attacking all of them, invincible, only frustrated under Jinyun City, it can be seen that Wu Shen Rong fruit is worthy of its name!" ”

He was so sticky, Wu Hongchuan had to sell some strength, not to mention that Shi Jingfen also continued to cite real combat examples: "What's more, the state capital was originally as stable as Mount Tai, and after Wu Shenrong rushed to the aid of Zhejiang, it fell on the same day in a few days, so it can be seen that the red thief must know that as soon as Shenrong leaves the state capital, he will immediately take advantage of the situation!" ”

Wu Hongchuan was so stick that he couldn't find the north, and he said repeatedly: "That's right, if I am still in the state capital, the state capital will be as stable as Mount Tai!" ”

He still has a subtext that he hasn't said, he came to Jinhua Mansion, and the situation in Jinhua Mansion has stabilized, so it can be seen that he is the Taishan Stone who dares to be!

It's just that this also forced him to find a proper way: "Now there are still four counties in Jinhua, Pujiang, Jinhua, Tangxi, and Lanxi, in Wu's opinion, the key to victory or defeat lies in Pujiang!" ”

This is right, why the key to victory or defeat lies in Pujiang, it is because Zhang Yuliang's 3,000 soldiers are stationed in Pujiang County, which is the most effective unit on the Qing army's side, but Shi Jingfen immediately said: "It's just that although Zhang Shenrong is a famous general in the battalion, he is a little too old!" ”

This is to say that Zhang Yuliang could not avoid the war, and started a war of attrition with the red thief, he relied on the Pujiang county as the backing, camped more than a dozen, and the red thief could not take advantage of it, so he also turned to the militia group and small group Yongying in Jinhua County, and used the method of killing chickens with a knife, and repeatedly succeeded. …,

Therefore, Wu Hongchuan adopted the method of fighting between the two tigers: "In Pujiang, Zhang Yuliang is unwilling to go out to camp and fight, and the red thieves are unwilling to attack the city, and the key to victory or defeat is in Pujiang, so it is better for us to send a few brave troops to reinforce Zhang Yuliang." ”

"Reinforcement Zhang Yuliang?" In addition to seeing the wrong Wu Hongchuan, Shi Jingfen can be regarded as a capable member: "Is it to lure the red thief to Zhang Yuliang's camp?" ”

"That's right! Lao Fu Tai Gao See! Wu Hongchuan felt that this was the best way he could think of now: "You can make the Zhuyong battalion bypass Pujiang County, go out of Yiwu County in front of Zhengyi Gate, and if you are lucky, you can join forces with Shaoxing Mansion to attack the red thieves......"

Shi Jingfen knew that such a fluke was impossible, but Zheng Yimen was only twenty or thirty miles away from Pujiang County, and it was entirely possible to attract the Red Thief Brigade to attack, and these brave battalions were not enough, but the problem was that they would rush to Pujiang County as soon as they stepped down.

Thinking of it, Shi Jingfen immediately slapped his leg: "Wu Shenrong is high!" Takami indeed! ”

The loss of these brave battalions seems to be a good thing, not to mention that behind them is Pujiang, the county seat, as long as Zhang Yuliang has a little conscience, he can contain them, and the red thief will definitely hit Pujiang County directly after defeating it.

This dragon and tiger fight, the victory is due to his Shi Jingfen's meritorious planning, and the defeat is Zhang Yuliang's ineffective fighting, and with Shi Jingfen's understanding, Zhang Yuliang has 3,000 outfits

Of course, the most likely outcome is that the red thief and Zhang Yuliang each lose 800 elites, and the Jinhua County he guards is at ease.

Good! In this way, the two tigers fought, and Shi Jingfen immediately said: "Tomorrow, I will send 2,300 loyal and righteous brave, Qishengyong, Baishengyong, Jianwei army, and Fuwei army around Pujiang County, and help Zhang Yuliang attack Yiwu County through Zheng Yimen!" ”

"Is there any movement in the Qing Demon of Jinhua County?" Liu Chang smiled: "It seems that we can afford it, one more day of training for the team, the more combat power we have!" ”

Shi Tinglan handed over a document to Liu Chang: "It is reported that Shi Jingfen has sent more than 1,000 people including Bai Shengyong, Qi Shengyong, and Jianwei Army to Pujiang County to help Zhang Yuliang attack Yiwu County!" ”

"It's all a bunch of garbage! Going to Pujiang is just a little more trouble! ”

Liu Chang no longer analyzes the composition of these brave battalions, and the actual combat examples so far tell him a fact, that is, these teams with some famous reputations are not opponents of the Hong Army at all in actual combat, and they are not even the opponents of the newly formed independent battalions.

"But it's really troublesome!" Liu Chang didn't feel in a hurry: "Wait for these foreign guns to be sent to Jinhua Mansion, and then we will move to solve Zhang Yuliang!" ”

Pujiang County already has hundreds of local Tuyong and Green Battalion soldiers, plus Zhang Yuliang's 3,000 elite soldiers, and now this 1,000 and hundreds of brave battalions have been pressed, and the pressure on the Panshi Battalion and the independent third battalion over there has suddenly increased.

Shi Tinglan immediately asked, "Are you really waiting for the foreign gun to arrive?" ”

This batch of foreign guns was received by Ye Yudie in Panshi Village to help Liu Chang, a total of 1,300 guns, most of them were ready to stay in Taizhou Mansion with Liu Chang's consent, and a considerable part of them were ready to be handed over to Qu Zhenhan.

Only 600 foreign guns and a few small-caliber foreign guns were transferred to Jinhua, mainly to enrich the independent battalions, but Liu Changsi greeted the officers: "Buying foreign guns is not a long-term solution, Zhang Yuliang has nearly 1,000 foreign guns and more than 10 foreign cannons, just waiting for you to get them!" ”

But for this batch of Western firearms shipped from Taizhou Mansion, Liu Chang attaches great importance to it: "That's right! We are not in a hurry, we have trained more soldiers in Hanhua for one day, and our combat effectiveness will be stronger, but Zhang Yuliang, he is guarding Pujiang and not coming out, it is really difficult to deal with! ”…,

Shi Tinglan asked, "Do you want us to fight a dozen Jinhua counties?" ”

Jinhua County is not only the first county, but also the city of Jinhua, if Liu Chang makes up his mind to attack Jinhua County, then Zhang Yuliang has a great responsibility, most of them are to go south to rescue the city, but Liu Chang said: "The city is not easy to fight, although most of them are indiscriminate and full of brave battalions, but nominally there are nearly 10,000 battalions, brave battalions, and strong people, among which there are more than 1,000 Taiyong, be careful!" ”

Just the siege! may not be able to mobilize Zhang Yuliang, but if it is really fought, these rice buckets are not enough in the field, but there is more than enough to defend the city, how can they defend it with the advantage of troops, so Liu Chang drew a line on the map: "Tinglan, what do you think of Xiaoshan?" ”

Xiaoshan? Shi Tinglan scanned the map for a while for the first time, and then found Xiaoshan in the north: "It seems feasible, but that's Hangzhou?" ”

This is the tactics of King Lu Deshun in another time and space to conquer Jinhua, when he was in a stalemate with the Qing army in Pujiang County, seeing that the battle situation was in a stalemate, he immediately copied the mountain road from Pujiang Fuyang, and crossed Linpu out of the monk shop to conquer Xiaoshan, at that time the main force of the Qing army was still in a stalemate with the Taiping army on the Jinhua line, which expected that the north road was in an emergency, the Taiping army had conquered Xiaoshan County, and the troops entered Hangzhou, and they were defeated back to Hangzhou.

Liu Chang has been planning for a long time: "That's right, I will send a main battalion around Pujiang and Fuyang, and enter Xiaoshan County, with a state of going straight to Hangzhou, and I will definitely be able to mobilize the Qing army back to Hangzhou, and at that time, we will be able to destroy the Qing demon in the movement!" ”

Yang Changmei felt that Liu Chang's method was good: "This is the way to save Zhao from Wei Wei, and our Heavenly Kingdom likes to use this one the most!" ”

That's right, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does like to use the technique of encircling Wei to save Zhao in terms of strategy, and has succeeded many times, Liu Changzheng wanted to talk more, and someone from outside there suddenly came to report: "Check, Panshi Battalion and Independent Third Battalion report, Qing Demon Qi Shengyong, Baisheng Yong, Jianwei Army and other brave battalions have flocked around Pujiang County, preparing to attack Yiwu County through Zheng Yimen, Panshi Battalion In view of the weak combat effectiveness of this Qing Demon, Zhang Yuliang is sitting in Pujiang County, and is already preparing to annihilate the enemy in a nose battle, just hope that the inspection point can send a battalion to meet the ......"

"Sun Huzi is in a good mood!" Liu Chang smiled: "Let him pay attention, he can fight in the field with Zhang Yuliang, and he is not allowed to attack Pujiang County!" ”

Shi Tinglan said over there: "According to what I learned in Tianjing, Zhang Yuliang probably doesn't care about the life or death of these brave battalions, and can let the Panshi battalion take the initiative a little!" ”

It's just that the change in the battle situation was unexpected by Liu Chang...... ）
