Lee Hua Long's strategy is like this.

The first was to give the order to the response force taken away by Adjutant General Chai Guozhu, so that he would immediately turn around and go to Wuchang.

Then he gathered all the guards he could recruit, and with the help of some elite troops, he strengthened his military strength.

Then the soldiers were divided into two routes, one way to contain the rebel water division here, all the way to the west along the river, to enter Wuchang before Xiao Ruxun, to hold Wuchang, and to buy a little time.

What he lacks most now is time.

A large army is useless against the sailors, but at least they can buy some time in Wuchang, as long as they can buy him time to attack with a more decent fleet in hand, then there is a way.

Night is a good opportunity to break through, the vision of the sailor at night is not good, the most suitable for playing water night attack, but as long as the advantage of the sailor can be weakened to the maximum, there is a chance to defeat the sailor, if you can break this sailor, then everything will be solved.

Li Hualong quickly gathered all his subordinates in Yangzhou Mansion, and then held a brief meeting to spread the information and convey his spirit.

He ignored the shock in everyone's eyes.

"Therefore, the breakthrough of the current situation is two points, one is to send troops to Wuchang, and the other is to break the water division, and after completing these two things, the overall situation still has a chance to recover, if it cannot be completed, then including the governor, all of you will inevitably die!"

Li Hualong looked at his subordinates seriously.

"Inspector, Xiao Thief, he has really ...... Did you attack Huguang? ”

The prefect of Yangzhou was full of incredulity: "How could he do such a thing with just one team?" Even if there is a rebel general, it won't be so fast, right? The army started in July, and now it has swept half of the Jiangnan? ”

"yes, could the information be wrong? Isn't there an army in the entire Jiangnan that can fight against Xiao Thief? ”

"You can't go wrong with intelligence, right?"

The deployers have expressed doubts about this.

Li Hualong slapped the table.

"Xiao thieves are almost in front of you, what do you have to doubt? Don't forget! Before the Xiao thief rebelled, he was the first general of the Ming Dynasty! The Battle of Ningxia, the Battle of Korea, the Battle of Dongwu, and the Battle of Datong Didn't you win more with less?

He can not only fight, but also lead troops to train troops, and he can also control people! He's not a simple general, he's a handsome talent! Are there other generals in the entire Jiangnan who can compare with him? Otherwise, how could Ben Governor be so embarrassed? ”

Li Hualong was very dissatisfied with the deployment of the idea of underestimating the enemy, and they were still dreaming unrealistic at this time, which was extremely stupid!

One by one, the deployers did not dare to speak.

Chai Guozhu and other generals did not squint and only looked in front of them, but they didn't say a word, and they didn't even dare to move.

"All in all, this information is going to be sent to the imperial court, and reinforcements are definitely needed, but before the arrival of the imperial court reinforcements, with our current strength, it seems that we cannot cope with the two battlefields at the same time, so this governor will order the mobilization of the entire Henan and Nanzhi guard troops to come to Yangzhou to support."

The officials looked at each other.

Is Lee Hua Ryong crazy?

Guards?

Can it still be used?

I'm afraid I can't even hold a gun or a knife, let alone fight!

Even if nothing else is said, there is a big problem in terms of numbers, and the more war-free the local guards, the worse the number of soldiers, not to mention the insufficient number, they cannot fight at all, and they are basically similar to a peasant who farms the land, and the name of a military household has no effect at all.

This is quite honest, most of them are the most desperate, they can't fight anything else, and they run away to a must, Qi Jiguang, the general who is the best at training soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, was almost killed by the guards, and finally had to give up the guards and recruit new troops, so you can imagine how wasted these guys are.

With this kind of miscellaneous service and soldier oil mixed with guards, Li Hualong actually thought of using it?

Chai Guozhu wanted to say something, but he still couldn't help but say it.

The prefect of Yangzhou couldn't hold back and wanted to say something.

"Inspector, the subordinate knows that the supervisor is eager to break the enemy, but these guards are really useless!"

Yangzhou Tongzhi also hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Supervisor, these guards can't fight at all, they run faster than the enemy army on the battlefield, they will collapse at the first touch, they can't be used at all, and they will even affect the main army, and the lower officials really don't recommend calling these people." ”

Li Hualong shook his head.

"Is there any other choice for the Governor than these people at the moment? Do you have to sit back and wait for the thief Xiao to hit Nanjing to meet the water division? At that time, it was too late to say anything! Even if they can't fight, they will be broken up and integrated into a strong army, and they can do something to do their part! I know better than you what the state of the guards is! ”

Lee Hualong once again insisted on his own opinion, vetoing all other opinions.

Subordinates, look at me, I look at you, and know that Li Hualong's decision is impossible to change, so he simply didn't say anything and waited for Li Hualong's decision.

I don't know if the strong army is coerced by the guards to fight, or the guards are coerced by the strong army to flee......

But Chai Guozhu was secretly surprised.

In two months, Xiao Ruxun has made such rapid progress, how long has it been, and he has actually swept half of Jiangnan, maintaining a strong offensive, and the entire Jiangnan has no resistance at all!

At present, Li Hualong has made up his mind to use his army to fight to the death with the Zhennan army here, and even does not hesitate to put his Chai Guozhu's life on the line.

But how could Chai Guozhu willingly put his life on the line?

After thinking about it, Chai Guozhu felt that he couldn't continue to be silent, he couldn't continue to be honest, and he had to do something to save the current dead end, otherwise when he was forced to attack, it would be his own death.

He doesn't know how to swim.

In the past few days, he was forced by Li Hualong to take soldiers who had never fought a water war to train in a boat in the canal, Chai Guozhu really wanted to vomit but didn't dare to vomit, compared to those soldiers who forgot to vomit, Chai Guozhu needed to ensure his face.

What kind of water war are the northerners fighting!

Li Hualong made up his mind to force him to death, and he was called a place of death and then came back to life, and Chai Guozhu was only full of complaints and resentment about this.

He felt that he must not be sent to death for such a stupid thing, but he still had a little friendship with Xiao Ruxun, he had fought side by side, it was the relationship between his old superiors and his old subordinates, and now Xiao Ruxun's progress is in full swing, if he can add icing on the cake on his side, it may not be a beautiful thing.

How Li Hualong treats a military general like him, he has seen through and is fed up, he simply doesn't treat him as a human being, and he doesn't discuss anything with him.

Instead of being a dog here, it is better to go to the opposite side of the dignified and upright person, anyway, it is the Ming Dynasty, it doesn't matter.

Li Hualong didn't know what kind of emotional change had occurred in Chai Guozhu's heart, he only knew that he had to speed up and prepare for action.

So two hours after receiving the information, Li Hualong's governor's order scattered from Yangzhou City, and an order to dispatch troops and generals moved rapidly to all places.

At the same time as Li Hualong was acting, Chai Guozhu was also acting quietly, the army that had been running for so many years was not something that Li Hualong could subdue with a bunch of ruthless moves, and the army was not an existence that was afraid of power but not virtuous.

They know who is good for them and who is bad for them.

The situation is taking a subtle turn.
