Chapter 82: The Movement of the Qing Army

Just when the Jintan thieves plundered Changgou Town, Yunjin City, 200 miles outside Wanglong County, was waving flags outside the city, and a large area of camp tents stretched for several miles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After the defeat of the Great Western Army in Luzhou City, Haoge immediately ordered the Qing Iron Cavalry under his command to count the roads, and in just over ten days, they had attacked the entire territory of Luzhou.

After breaking through the entire territory of Luzhou, Haoge immediately ordered the rapid expansion of the slave army on the basis of the remaining slave army, in preparation for the subsequent eastward attack on Yongzhou, in just a few dozen days, the slave army has been expanded to more than 100,000 people, in order to facilitate the follow-up attack on Yongzhou.

At the same time, in order to facilitate the follow-up attack on Yongzhou, Haoge had transferred the base camp of the Qing army to Yunjincheng, the second city in Luzhou.

Yunjin City is located in the northeast of Luzhou, which is the seat of Yunjin County, close to the Yongzhou area.

At present, in addition to the few Niu Lu Zheng Blue Banner cavalry stationed in various counties, the other more than 14,000 Zheng Blue Banner cavalry and 110,000 slave troops have all gathered here.

"Drive!"

Outside Yunjin City, a sentry rode quickly towards the city.

A quarter of an hour later, in the council hall of the Yunjin City City Lord's Mansion, Haoge summoned the generals to discuss here.

"I just received the news that our army and the Liangniuluzheng Blue Banner cavalry and 10,000 slave troops in Wanglong County were defeated by the 5,000 army led by Sima Yu of Qilin County, and Hu Tu and Bach were killed. Hmph, but just a county and a county dare to come to attack my Qing Dynasty, what do you think about this matter? ”

After the generals sat down, the Prince of Qing Su who was on the throne raised the letter in his hand and looked at the generals below.

"What? Both Huttu and Bach are dead? ”

"How is this possible, how can these Han people be the opponents of my Great Qing Iron Cavalry?"

"With 5,000 soldiers and horses, I can defeat my two Niulu cavalry and 10,000 slave troops head-on, which should not be underestimated."

As soon as Haoge's voice fell, a burst of discussion suddenly sounded in the hall, and the generals of the Qing army in the hall were surprised by the fact that Sima Yu led the army to defeat the Qing army in Wanglong County.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to pacify the enemy army!"

Hearing this, Omoktu stood up and asked for his life, his expression full of anger.

Omoktu was a staff commander under Hauge, commanding the 5 Niu Lu Zheng Blue Banner cavalry, and the two Niu Lu cavalry under the command of Hutu and Bach were under his command.

Omoktu was very indignant that Sima Yu, the small lord of a county, dared to openly lead his troops against the Qing Dynasty, and the defeat of Hutu and Bach was regarded by him as a great shame.

"Lord Wang, now that this Han army can defeat my two Niulu cavalry and 10,000 slave army in front of the front, it is obviously the elite of the Han army, and with the army of only a thousand people under the command of Omoktu, it may not be easy to win! The prince will not weakly punish his subordinates to send troops to go with Omoktu, and he will mention that the enemy's head will come to offer it to the prince! ”

Another counselor under Hauge's command, who had a good relationship with Omoktu, immediately got up and asked for his life.

Omoktu and Tucht were both born in the Blue Banner, and they have been friends since childhood, and they are both "Baturu" in the army, known for their bravery.

As a good friend of Omoktu, Tucht knew that this request was a momentary anger on the part of Omoktu, and if Hauge agreed to Omoktu's request at once, and let him lead his troops and horses, it would not be possible to have a good result.

Although Omoktu's face turned red when he heard this, he didn't say anything more, he knew the ability of his two subordinates, Hutu and Bach, this Han army could be completely annihilated, and he was not confident that he could defeat it with the three bulls he participated in.

"Lord Wang, in the opinion of his subordinates, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Wanglong County are just a mustard disease, there is no need to bother about this, before it was still to attack Yongzhou, Wanglong County is located by the river, the terrain is remote, along the river on three sides, the army that attacked Wanglong County is the water division of Qilin County, when our army goes to the enemy, it must have fled from the waterway, our army can't chase it at all, it's just a waste of time. Moreover, Qilin County is hundreds of miles away from Wanglong County, and this expedition of sailors and laborers will not last long, so why should we waste our energy for a useless enclave."

At this time, Ao Bai, the number one fierce general under Hauge, heard the words and objected.

As one of the five tiger generals of the Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai has been following him since the period of Huang Taiji, and has been following him everywhere with the army, not only brave and extraordinary, but also good in strategic wisdom.

At present, the Qing army has captured the entire territory of Luzhou, and in order to speed up the attack on Yongzhou, Haoge has ordered a large-scale looting of the entire territory of Luzhou, drawing strong men, and making the entire territory of Luzhou a barren. With the current situation in Luzhou, it is simply not enough to support the more than 100,000 troops entrenched here for a long time.

Therefore, the top priority at the moment is to concentrate forces to attack Yongzhou, otherwise if the time drags on for a long time, the logistical pressure alone will drag down the army in Luzhou.

"Lord Wang, Ao Bai is right, at present, our army's more than 100,000 troops consume thousands of stones of grain and grass every day, and if it drags on for a long time, it will not be good for our army. At present, this Han army in Wanglong County, such a labor expedition may also want to disturb our army and delay our eastward advance."

Nikan agreed with Aobai's opinion.

With the continuous conquest of the Qing army after entering Sichuan, the Eight Banners cavalry under the command of Hao Ge has been reduced a lot, and the soldiers and generals under the command of the major generals have been unable to fill their strength.

Nikan and Ao Bai were the only two commanders in the Eight Banners of the Eastern Expedition, each commanding the 4,500 Eight Banners cavalry of Sangu Mountain, and Hao Ge personally commanded the 5,000 Eight Banners cavalry.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's ignore this Han army in Wanglong County for the time being, and concentrate our forces to attack Yongzhou first. So what is the best strategy for attacking Yongzhou? ”

Hearing this, Hauge nodded, although he was also very angry when he first received the news, but Hauge had always had doubts about the requisition.

"Lord Wang, according to the report from the spies, the entire territory of Yongzhou has now been divided into more than ten forces, the strongest of which are mainly Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu who are entrenched in the three counties of He Terrier County, Ji'an County, and Laisu County in the southeast of Yongzhou, Sun Kewang in the five counties of Honglu County, Jinzhu County, Wujian County, Baofeng County, and Shuangshi County in the northeast of Yongzhou, Wang Shangli in Shuangshi County in the north of Yongzhou, Ai Nengqi in Chenshi County in the central part of Yongzhou, 32 villages and Qin Liangyu forces in Jumei County in the south, and Sima Yu forces in Qilin County in the southeast. Each of these major forces has tens of thousands of troops, and they are the most powerful. Li Dingguo, Qin Liangyu, and Sima Yu were staunch resisters, while Sun Kewang only wanted to maintain the independence of the forces under his command and had a decent attitude towards our army, while Wang Shangli and Ai Nengqi remained completely neutral.

Among them, Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo have always been at odds, Zhang Xianzhong has been openly friends after his death, and Qin Liangyu and Sima Yu have always been friends. In addition, at present, in the entire territory of Yongzhou, only Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang and the Thirty-two Village Alliance border with us.

Therefore, in order to prevent the forces in Yongzhou from uniting to resist our army, we might as well use their relationships to win over Sun Kewang first, and force the landing of the 32 villages alliance, with the relationship between Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo, she will definitely not help, and after destroying Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and annexing the 32 villages, we will concentrate our forces to attack Qin Liangyu's forces, and then the troops will directly target Qilin County, and it will not be too late to revenge Wanglong County at that time.

When the time comes, under the front of our Qing Dynasty, if we send envoys to persuade them to surrender, Wang Shangli and Ai Nengqi will take the initiative to surrender, and under the siege of all sides, Sun Kewang will only be a turtle in the urn, and Yongzhou will be taken just around the corner. ”

As soon as Hauge's words fell, He Luo, a staff member on the right side below, spoke.

He Luo, a person during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, was a high school lifter, and was the head of a county, and he joined the Qing Dynasty as soon as he came to this world.

As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, although Hao Ge does not attach importance to Han and literati as much as Huang Taiji, he also knows the power of literati, and there are some literati staff under his command, and He Luo was promoted by Hao Ge after offering several good strategies.

"What the staff said is reasonable!"

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but nod when they heard this.

Although the many Eight Banner generals in the hall are quite disdainful of the groveling Han people, they have also seen more of the power of the Han people, and the Qing Dynasty can be as strong as it is today, and even entered the customs thanks to Fan Wencheng and other Han people who gave advice?

After some discussion, Hauge immediately appointed Nikan as the commander of the Right Route Army to conquer Yongzhou, and led his 4,500 Eight Banner cavalry with 20,000 slave troops to attack the Thirty-two Village Alliance in the northwest of Jumei Town. Ao Bai was appointed as the commander of the left army, and led the troops and horses of the headquarters to attack Ji'an County with 30,000 slave troops, and contained the main force of Li Dingguo's army in Ji'an County. Hauge himself was the commander of the Chinese army, and personally led 5,000 Eight Banner cavalry and 60,000 slave troops to attack He Jiao County and attack the headquarters of Li Dingguo's forces.

At the same time, Haoge sent people to Jinzhu, Shuangshi, and Chen Shi counties to persuade Sun Kewang, Wang Shangli, and Ainengqi.

Five days later, the Qing army's three-way army marched out of Yunjin County and headed for Jumei, Ji'an, and Hejiao counties, which were adjacent to Luzhou, and the clouds of war finally descended on Yongzhou.
