"A few days ago, Fu Heng attacked almost every three days, and in the last ten days, he has attacked almost every day! The corpses of the Qing army filled three trenches in a row! It seems that they are planning a decisive battle in a short time! The staff of the General Staff Department was explaining the changes in the situation to the senior management of the Red Flower Society in the large conference room, "At present, the sharp energy of the Qing army has been almost consumed, according to the deduction of the General Staff, if we launch a counterattack at this time, there is eighty percent certainty that sixty percent of Fu Heng's troops will be left!" ”

"So what are you waiting for? Hurry up! During this time, the special forces led by Zhang Jin and Yang Chengxie were reduced to simple snipers, guarding behind the defense line every day and putting cold guns, which had already suffocated him!

"But according to the deduction of the General Staff, if we can postpone the time of the decisive battle by one month, we will be ten percent sure that Fu Heng's seventy percent of the troops will be left!" , the staff officer said without changing his face.

"Eh", Zhang Jin was suddenly a little at a loss, he wanted to do a big job early, and he wanted to kill more Qing troops, so he scratched his head and sat down after a while, "I'll continue to compare marksmanship with starlings, and I'll listen to you when I do it!" The staff performed well in the previous battles, and Zhang Jin was convinced of them.

"What are the staff's plans for the current situation?" , Chen Jialuo asked, for him, leaving 60,000 Qing soldiers is far from satisfying, at least he must leave 60% of the 180,000 people brought by Fu Heng!

"According to the intelligence, the reason why Fu Heng increased the intensity of the offensive was because he was reprimanded by the court; Based on our judgment of the Qing court, if Fu Heng still does not make progress in this month, then the Qing court may turn from offensive to defensive due to financial resources and other reasons, which will be greatly detrimental to our subsequent annihilation plan! "Therefore, our plan is to temporarily abandon the two front-line lines of defense and lure the enemy deeper." ”

With that, he took two steps forward and pointed to an area on the map. "This place is located between two mountains, it is suitable for encirclement, and when Fu Heng's army enters here, we will rely on defensive fortifications to consume the sharp energy of the Qing army, and at the same time quietly mobilize troops to block Fu Heng's retreat! When the Qing army's vigor is consumed by us, we will immediately launch a counterattack. Leave all these 100,000 people here! Although the southern and western fronts did not have such a good geographical location, the enemies in these two places were even more unbearable, and even if they did not have a favorable location, they could destroy most of them. ”

"There are many villages here, and I am afraid that the front line will have to hold on for a few more days, and then give up the defense line and retreat after these villagers are relocated!" , Lu Feiqing looked at the reserved ambush circle and said.

"There is Lao Lu's predecessor in this matter! First move them into the county seat and arrange food and lodging for them. Seeing that no one objected to the plan proposed by the staff officer to temporarily retreat and then counterattack, Chen Jialuo began to arrange preparations before retreating. Help them register their property, wait for the Qing army to be wiped out, and then verify it, and compensate for any losses from the capture of the Qing army. ”

"If you want to achieve the predetermined goal, in addition to replenishing the troops, there is also a big shortage of ammunition!" , the staff officer turned his gaze to Gao Zhisi and reported a series of figures, "These must be replenished in at least a month." ”

Gao Guisi closed his eyes and calculated. Nodding his head, he said, "No problem." The current inventory of the factory is enough to meet your needs, and I will give you one more percent! Be sure to leave all these soldiers behind! ”

The relaxed atmosphere in the Red Flower Club was different, Fu Heng had not slept well almost every day in the past few months, seeing that the mountains of grain and grass were shrinking day by day, and he had lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and had not made any progress, he seemed to have seen the fate of Zhang Guangsi and Naqin during the Battle of Jinchuan that year. It's hateful that these cunning safflower thieves will only hide behind the fence and put their guns. If they dared to come out to fight in the field, these good men of the Eight Banners who were skilled in bows and horses under their command would have killed them all a long time ago!

Three days later, a team of green battalion soldiers from Zhejiang unexpectedly broke into the first layer of defense, and Fu Heng, who had been tested by war for a long time, keenly discovered this loophole and personally led people to rush in through the gap. Captured the three lines of defense of the Red Flower Society in a row.

After several months of hard fighting, the Qing army was shocked, and Fu Heng was also optimistic that after these months of fierce battles, the strength of the Red Flower Society had been consumed by himself, and the next thing was to attack Fujian like a thunderbolt.

In the first few days, the war was still developing according to Fu Heng's expectations, the Qing army fought successively, and the army of the Red Flower Society was beaten back for dozens of miles, but slowly Fu Heng also found that something was wrong, the Red Flower Society retreated but not chaotic, and every time he chased after a victory, he would be beaten back by the rear team left by the Red Flower Society.

Could it be some kind of conspiracy? Fu Heng looked at the towering mountains on both sides and felt ominous in his heart, but the groups of scouts he sent told him that there was no ambush on either side. With suspicion, he began to prepare to continue the attack.

The situation on the second day surprised Fu Hengda, this time the Red Flower Society did not rout as quickly as a few days ago! The fierce firepower on the defensive line gave the Qing army a blow to the head, and only one wave of attack took the lives of more than 300 Qing troops; At first, Fu Heng thought that this was just a return to the glory of the Red Flower Society, and personally beat the drums and cheered, making a series of reward promises, inspiring the soldiers under his command to attack and die, but unfortunately until sunset, the Qing army still failed to advance an inch!

In the next few days, the Qing army led by Fu Heng launched round after round of attacks, but Honghua, who had been prepared for a long time, told him with a strong firepower that Honghua would be close to collapse!

The imperial court, which was about to change its strategy, was overjoyed after receiving the report sent by Fu Heng, and he generally thought that under the months-long offensive of the Qing army, the Red Flower Society would finally not be able to bear it! Immediately drafted a holy decree to award the reward, Fu Heng was already a duke himself, so the focus of the reward became his children, and Fukangan also took this opportunity to reinstate the official.

Therefore, when Fu Heng began to retreat in his heart after a few days of temptation, the holy decree of commendation came to the camp at this time, in addition to him, the generals who have made meritorious contributions these days have been rewarded, seeing this situation, Fu Heng, who is an old official, naturally knows that he has no way to retreat now, gritted his teeth and began to prepare for the next day's offensive.

Inspired by the holy decree, the Qing army's offensive reached its peak for a while, and the Red Flower Society was unaware and was attacked on the earthen wall, but fortunately, the reserve team rushed up with bayonets and engaged them in hand-to-hand combat to keep the defensive line.

One drum, and then three times exhausted, this day the Qing army's offensive was unsuccessful, and the next few days their offensive ** was obviously low, so the morale was slowly consumed. (To be continued......)
