Just when the battle of Guilin Mansion started again, and Kong Youde and Shang Kexi coincidentally chose to sneak attack the Yunnan Prefecture of Yongli Daming, which was empty of troops, Zhang Qiang ordered the mobilized troops and officers to arrive at Raozhou Mansion.

Zhang Qiang chatted with Xiao Fei, Brother Zhu, and Merlin Yu for a while, and then got to the point.

"The reason why we called you here this time and mobilized the troops is that we have succeeded in more than half of our plan for the Qing army, and the Qing army has transferred 500,000 troops from our Hong Chengchou troops facing each other to support the battles in Sishan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangxi, and other places, and we have successfully paralyzed the enemy and dispersed the enemy's forces, which will be of great help to our next river-crossing operation, and the weapons will eventually destroy the Manchu court, but - this is not enough, we should increase our strength."

He looked at a few heroes who followed him to fight in the south and the north and create a prosperous era of the Chinese army.

"Where shall we fight?"

I had long been worried about the confrontation with the Qing army, sitting quietly, watching the Qing army's increasing strength, and wanting to fight them happily. ’

Xiao Fei said with his hands in a daze.

"Yes, I'm the same, defending Jiujiang Mansion, every day only those militia build houses, build fortifications, patrol, and then fight with the enemy and get tired of it, I really want to experience a battle of Raozhou Mansion, a battle that will determine the future, and we will destroy the enemy's 600,000 troops that time, right?"

Brother Zhu was also excited, he knew that Zhang Qiang called him this time to let them fight, and he still wanted to feel like this.

Merlin also said: "Yes, Grand Duke, I also want to fight the enemy quickly, instead of staying by your side and doing some insignificant work. ”

"It's all some enthusiastic young people." Zhang Qiang sighed in his heart.

"Well, that's my opinion," Zhang Qiang paused for a moment before waiting for a few young men to keep their eyes fixed on his face.

"Xiao Fei is the commander-in-chief this time, Brother Zhu, you will hand over a regiment of the cavalry brigade to Xiao Fei, and you will also hand over a regiment of the cavalry regiment to Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, you take your personal guard and the cavalry regiment of the Third Field Brigade to form a campaign headquarters, and at the same time, Brother Zhu you will hand over the command task of a militia brigade to Xiao Fei, and then hand over the defense task of Jiujiang Mansion to Liu Liangzuo, and he will dominate the entire Nanchang and Jiujiang Mansion."

Looking at everyone's puzzlement, Zhang Qiang continued: "Xiao Fei, as the commander-in-chief, will no longer charge to the front line, he sits in the middle of the command, you two are the generals who charge to the first line, Xiao Fei is promoted to the commander-in-chief, you are still the deputy general, the remaining troops of your cavalry brigade will be used as a subsidiary force to cooperate with you in the battle, and it is still under your command, Xiao Fei handed over the work of the Third Field Brigade to Ma Hansan, where he commanded the Third Field Brigade, you command the two of them." ”

"Brother Zhu commands the 20th Field Brigade, plus the remaining troops of your 2nd Cavalry Brigade, where will Liu Liangzuo assign the artillery brigade and the artillery of the garrison to you, and each of you can get the support of half of the artillery brigade except the artillery of the field brigade, well, in this way, the strength of the field brigade will be increased to 8,700 troops, plus 4,200 troops of the cavalry brigade, plus 2,500 troops of the artillery brigade, for a total strength of more than 16,000 troops."

"Merlinyu, you command the 21st Field Brigade, and the total strength and distribution of troops are the same as those commanded by Brother Zhu, which is also 16,000 troops,"

"Xiao Fei, the most elite cavalry of the 4,500 cavalry brigade you command here, plus the baggage and logistics supply troops of a militia brigade, the total strength has reached 15,000 troops, your task is to command them, and then take the militia troops to ensure their logistics supply and occupy the county seat of Huguang, starting from Jiujiang Mansion and going all the way to Yuezhou Mansion."

"Although Yuezhou Mansion is in the stormy Huguang, the Qing army does not have the time and energy to deal with it now, so although most of the people who retreated where we are, as well as all the militia and regular army, only a garrison of 2,000 people is left to control there, but where is still in our hands, it can be used as your first command, backed by the support of Liu Liangzuo of Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang Prefecture, and then fight out, all the way to the border of Guangxi Prefecture, Maybe at that time, there will be Wang Yuqun's 19th Field Brigade and troops from the Southern Ming Army to cooperate and support you, and then you will fight from the south to the north and occupy Huguang for me. ”

Zhang Qiang paused, sorted out his thoughts, and then said to the three people who were focused on listening to him: "When the time comes, Wang Yuqun's 19th Field Brigade will also participate, Tong Dawei's 5th Field Brigade will also participate, Guangxi Mansion will be handed over to the Southern Ming Army, let's not rub against them, and ignore the friction of the Southern Ming Army, leave the militia and the garrison battalion that follows up, you can also leave a group of wounded soldiers to help garrison, continue to attack upwards in the overall situation, attack the territory of Hubei, and give me to disturb Hubei and attract the attention of the enemy's frontal Qing army, When the time comes, the enemy will have to draw more troops to fight you. ”

He focused his eyes on Xiao Fei, "It's up to you then, resist me, where is the nail to death, take Huguang, enter Hubei, it will shake the foundation of the Qing army, big, we can continue to attack Henan Mansion, and then enter Shandong Prefecture, surround them from behind, then I will launch a big offensive to completely solve the Qing army opposite us, at least, you can also retreat to Huguang, at that time we must have stabilized the situation in Huguang, the worst, we can also occupy one more Huguang, Become another state under our control. ”

After explaining the three people, the three of them retreated to prepare, and the preparation work will take some time, and the battlefield on the side of the Southern Ming Army has reached a white-hot stage.

Zhang Qiang released the war eagle again, and the war eagle flew for several hours and reached the sky above the battlefield.

The battle has indeed reached a fever pitch.

Although Mang Gurtai was quite tired, the soldiers were also quite tired, and deserters quietly appeared in small areas.

At night, a few scattered soldiers began to flee from the edge of the battlefield, most of them fled into the surrounding villages and mountains and woods, and then rested for a while, and continued to flee, they would not return to the battlefield, and then return to Guilin Mansion, which was simply purgatory.

Even if the Qing army wins and fights for so long, even if the strong men in the Qing army are forced over, the people who can or survive are already veterans who have seen blood and are quite knowledgeable, but they know that after the Qing army's strength is greatly damaged, they will definitely not be able to hold Guilin Mansion, or if they hold it, the strength of the Qing army here will also be greatly damaged, and for a considerable period of time, they will become the target of the Qing army to vent their anger, so they fled.

The battlefield was full of smoke and fire, and the sound of fighting.

Zhang Qiang couldn't see clearly for a while who was better when he fell to the ground, but he could see the movements of some deserters clearly.

It's like the dregs falling from a crispy flatbread, more and more.

However, Li Chengdong, who was a man at that time, knew that the enemy's troops were consumed much faster than him.
