Chapter 92: The opinion of the General Staff
After several neat victories in a row, the morale of the Chu army was high, and in the tent of the Chinese army, the generals discussed very enthusiastically, and they were not nervous because of the pressure of the enemy. Point o
In contrast, Cao Zhijian seems to be more cautious, of course, only cautious, not nervous. He was born in the Nine-Sided Army and knew Zilharang well.
"Zilharang is not a good comer! He is only the nephew of the old slave (Nurhachi), but he can be crowned Prince Zheng, all of them are military exploits fought one battle after another, even the famous general Man Gui is not his opponent, when I was in Liaodong, I knew the name of Jilharang......"
Man Gui was a famous anti-Qing general of the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, and he was famous in the nine-sided official army, but he was defeated by Jierharang in the battle of Ningyuan.
Cao Zhijian continued: "Jierharang brought more than 30,000 Tartars this time, and Tan Tai also had more than 20,000 people, adding up to 60,000 troops. ”
Zhang Jiayu disagreed: "What are you panicking about, are you scared by Jierharang?" Jumala can't run anyway, we should fight Mulima first, and then turn around and eat Jumala. ”
The civil officials and generals in the tent nodded their heads one after another, supporting Zhang Jiayu's opinion. Zhu Mala and Mu Lima are both dishes in the bowl of the Chu army, if Zhu Mala is hit first, Mu Lima is likely to retract back to Nanjing, after all, he is very close to Nanjing, and occupies Zhuohua Town, and has the help of the Qinhuai River water division, if he turns around and runs, it is difficult for the Chu army to block him.
Wang Jincai added: "There are also Hao Shangjiu, Hu Maozhen, Liu Hongyu, Zhang Tianlu...... These guys can't let go, and if they are defeated first, Zilharang and Tan Tai will become lonely. Our army is slowly maneuvering with them in the mountains of Ningzhen, and it may not be impossible to win more with less! ”
After the first few battles. The Chu army was already full of confidence in fighting in the mountains, especially Wang Jincai and Cao Zhijian. They fought for so many years. He has never bullied the enemy like this, but his casualties are very small, and the enemy is still known as the invincible Eight Banners in the world, Wang Jincai and Cao Zhijian have seen them before...... No, you can't see it at all, and you usually run away from the wind.
It's a sweet taste!
What happened to the Eight Banners? I hid in the mountain and bombarded it with mortars, and the Eight Banners were like ghosts crying wolves, flesh and blood were flying, and if I wanted to attack the mountain, I would be hit head-on by flints. The Chu army has fully used the terrain advantage in these battles, Wang Jincai and Cao Zhijian simply love the Ningzhen mountain area, and they can't wait to immediately lead Ji'er Harang and Tan Tai into the mountain, set up mortars and bombard them again.
"It's not that easy, is it?"
Cao Zhijian was reluctant to raise the bar with Zhang Jiayu, but he was not afraid of Wang Jincai: "You have eaten apples, you have to pick a big one when you eat apples." Just now you said a lot, Hao Shangjiu, Hu Maozhen, Liu Hongyu, Zhang Tianlu...... Coupled with Mulima and Jumala, the Tartars are one lump in the east and one in the west, and we have only 30,000 horses. We won't be able to eat them all for a while, and Zilharang is coming so quickly, we should pick the big one first and eat Jumala......"
"No! No way! At the very least, you have to fight Mulima first. He had 5,000 cavalry under his command. Out of the mountains of Ningzhen is our great enemy, we must leave him behind. Ti Zhaorong hurriedly interjected, and smiled in a hurry: "I have long been staring at these thousands of good horses in Mulima!" We must wipe him out. Let's change the horses of the West Cavalry Battalion and the Jiang Cavalry Battalion. ”
The generals applauded, only Cao Zhijian muttered in a low voice: "Even if Mulima is annihilated." I can't get 5,000 horses, but the horse meat is full......"
"That's fine. What else do you want to eat with horse meat? Ti Zhaorong said with a smile: "Even if half of the five thousand horses die, there are still more than two thousand left!" Wang Meng happened to be absent today, more than 2,000 horses belong to me, if any of you want to sue him secretly, don't blame me for turning his face! ”
Another burst of laughter.
Next, the generals expressed their opinions one after another, discussing which Qing army to fight first, since Zierharang and Tan Tai will soon arrive one after another, there must be a trade-off problem here, and it is impossible to wipe out all the Qing troops.
After some discussion, everyone's opinions gradually converged, and they were all in favor of fighting Mulima first, and then Zhumala, they all had a large number of Eight Banner soldiers under their command, and they had the strongest combat effectiveness in the Qing army, and the greatest threat to the Chu army. If there is time, Hao Shangjiu will be dealt with, he has already fled to the vicinity of Sijing Mountain, deep into the hinterland of Ningzhen Mountain, although there are not many troops, the harassment of the Chu army is very strong.
As for the Qing troops of Liu Hongyu, Zhang Tianlu, Hu Maozhen and other units, first, they are all on the periphery of the Ningzhen Mountains, and it is not easy to achieve total annihilation, and secondly, they are all green battalion soldiers, and the generals of the Chu army really can't see it.
At the end of the discussion, the generals looked at Wang Kefan together, waiting for him to make a final decision.
Wang Kefan didn't rush to speak, his eyes swept over the generals one by one, and finally stopped at Jingliang's body.
"What is the opinion of the General Staff?"
"We have another plan."
Jingliang stood up, looking a little nervous, walked to the front of the large map that was hanging, and nodded to the generals: "The General Staff believes that if Jumala and Mulima are eliminated now, Zilharang and Tan Tai will not enter the Ningzhen Mountains and form an unfavorable situation for our army. ”
There was no emotion in his tone, he was just stating the facts, but Wang Jincai and the other generals were a little embarrassed on their faces.
"There are two possibilities for the next war exhibition, one is that our army defeats Zhang Tianlu's department, recovers Moling Pass, and forms a confrontation with the Qing army in the mountainous area of Ningzhen. However, Zierharang can take advantage of the advantages of the sailors to go around behind Moling Pass and cut off our army's grain route at any point on the line from Dongzhi County to Moling Pass, and our army can only be forced to retreat to Jiangxi, or risk attacking Changzhou and other places to the east. ”
The generals' expressions gradually became solemn, Jing Liang licked his lips, pointed to the map and continued: "Second, Jierharang sent elite reinforcements in time to support Zhang Tianlu and Liu Hongyu, and it will be difficult for our army to recover Moling Pass in a short period of time, and it will be besieged by the Qing army in the mountains of Ningzhen. This result is even more unfavorable to our army, and now is the time when there is no catch, and our army will soon run out of food, and there is a danger that the whole army will be annihilated. ”
"Hiss......" Cao Zhijian gasped.
Although the strength of the Changsha battalion is poor, he is a veteran from the army, and his strategic vision is stronger than that of Wang Jincai and Zhang Jiayu, and he is the first to understand the danger that Jingliang said.
It's really dangerous! And very dangerous!
Cao Zhijian also had some vague feelings just now, so he kept singing against the generals, and now he was broken by Jingliang, and he immediately realized.
There is no doubt that Ningzhen Mountain is a very powerful trap, but the trap can only be used once, and the Qing army will not be fooled the second time, if it takes a wrong step, the Chu army will be trapped in this trap instead! (To be continued!)
