Outside the city along the beach, the vast camp of more than 100,000 Chinese troops is stationed here, and the continuous camps surround the entire city along the beach, covering all the open spaces around it.

At this time, in the tent of the Chinese military camp, Sima Yu was convening the generals in the army to discuss the matter.

With the continuous stationing of the Chinese army in Yantan County, according to the news from Jinyiwei, Prince Su Haoge has also led 200,000 troops into Gongzhou, and will arrive in Huangshi County in the south of Gongzhou in less than five days.

"Your Majesty, at present, our army has all been stationed in Yantan County, Zhang Da of Yujing County has also led his troops to surrender, and General Zilong personally led the Feiyu Cavalry to sit in the town, which is enough to sweep away the enemies in Yujing County, the army should continue to move forward, take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing army has not arrived, divide the troops first, and launch an attack on the Qing army in multiple ways!"

In the tent, on the sand table where countless flags of both sides of the enemy were placed in the center of the big tent, Qin Liangyu, the heroic commander of the Western Army, was holding a wooden stick in his hand, and kept moving with the flags on the sand table and talking.

"Your Majesty, what General Qin said is extremely reasonable, at present there are 70,000 cavalry in our army, and although there are 50,000 Qing troops in Huangshi County, most of them are Qing soldiers, only 12,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners, and the garrison is lax, and the grasp of our army's information is seriously insufficient. Our army can take advantage of the mobility of the cavalry to launch a long-distance attack, divide the troops into three routes, go straight to Huangshi City to contain the enemy army, and wait for the opportunity to move, and the other two roads will directly penetrate the rear of Huangshi City, cut off its rear road, and eat the 50,000 rebels in Huangshi City in one fell swoop. Once the Huangshi City, the vanguard fortress of the Qing army, is knocked out, the entire central and northern part of Gongzhou will be a place for our cavalry to gallop on a flat river, with the advantage of our cavalry, constantly interspersed and harassing the rear of the enemy's army, attacking and retreating, and being invincible! ”

Su Dingfang, the governor of Luzhou, hurriedly agreed when he heard this, and he was already good at using cavalry, and he even put forward feasible long-term suggestions to Sima Yu, and the generals in the camp nodded excitedly one by one.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Captain Fang Jie on the front line!"

Just when Sima Yu was pondering the plan of Qin Liangyu and Hu Luguang, a messenger hurriedly came to the tent of the Chinese army, knelt on one knee, and reported to Sima Yu loudly with the battle report in his hand.

"Read!"

Sima Yu's gaze was still focused on the sand table, and he commanded softly.

The reason why Sima Yu hesitated was not because he doubted the feasibility of this tactic, but because he was afraid that the Qing army that had finally gathered by Haoge would be frightened away.

Sima Yu's main purpose in this battle was to defeat the Qing army in a decisive battle, so as to quickly occupy the entire Le and Gong prefectures.

With the current situation, time simply does not allow them to consume their army in the battle against the Qing army, city by city, and Liu Bei's Shu Han army may not be able to support this day.

"Back to Your Majesty, yesterday Captain Fang Jie suddenly encountered a Qing army pursuing the rebels in Huangshi County in the process of leading the troops to explore the road, Captain Fang Jie decisively ordered a surprise attack, and then set up an ambush in the Xinlongzui Plain to defeat the Qing army, killing more than 7,000 Eight Banner cavalry, capturing 2,000 people, and leaving less than 2,000 Eight Banner Cavalry to flee back to Huangshi City. Now Captain Fang Jie has led the army to camp on the spot in the Xinlongzui Plain, waiting for instructions! ”

The messenger was ordered to immediately launch an intelligence report.

"Good!"

As soon as the messenger's words fell, Sima Yu had already turned around and stepped forward to take the battle report, and while reading it, he shouted with joy.

This can be described as a real surprise, just now Su Ding Fang put forward the strategy of dividing the troops into three ways to attack Huangshi County, Fang Jie, who did not want to be in front as a pioneer to explore the way, had annihilated the main force of the Eight Banners in Huangshi County in one fell swoop, and the people who stayed in Huangshi County were all Han slave troops, in this case, it was easy for them to take Huangshi County.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates, please fight!"

"Subordinates, please fight!"

"Subordinates, please fight!"

At the same time, Su Dingfang, He Bayun, Huang Jingtian, He Batyue and others in the camp who saw the opportunity quickly spoke out one after another to ask for battle.

Among the generals in the battalion, Qin Liangyu and Hu Luguang are both the main generals of the first army, and each commander has 50,000 cavalry, which cannot be moved lightly, and the other infantry generals cannot take on this responsibility, only these generals who command the cavalry have asked for battle.

"Good! Will hearts available! ”

Seeing this, Sima Yu would not refute everyone's desire to fight, and his face showed appreciation, and then ordered:

"Su Dingfang!"

"The subordinates are here!"

"You immediately lead the remaining 5,000 Tang cavalry to set off, go to Xinlongzui to join Fang Jie, and lead 10,000 Tang cavalry to attack Huangshi City directly, and take the opportunity to force the slave army in the city!"

"Whoa!"

"Ho Bat-yun"

"In"

"You immediately set off with 15,000 cavalry of the Northern Army, detour to the west side of Huangshi City through the Xinlongzui Plain, and go straight to Yong'an and Weiping counties, and be sure to take the two counties before the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty arrives."

"Whoa!"

"Huang Jingtian, He Bayue"

"In"

"The two of you immediately led the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and 10,000 cavalry of the Western Army to set off, detoured to the east side of Huangshi City through the Xinlongzui Plain, and went straight to the rear to take Xianshi and Xindian counties, and cut off the support of the Huangshi City Slave Army."

"Whoa!"

"The others will immediately march with me and go to Huangshi City."

"Whoa"

"Immediately send someone to give Zilong an order, and the army will converge in Huangshi City"

"Whoa"

After a series of orders, 60,000 cavalry were quickly dispatched, divided into three routes, and the remaining tens of thousands of infantry followed him to join Zhao Yun's 10,000 flying feather cavalry in Huangshi City.

At the beginning of June of the second year of the emperor's reign, the main force of the Eight Banners cavalry of Huangshi City was defeated by the Tang cavalry of Fang Jie's department in Dawang Mountain and Xinlongzui Plain, and the main general of the army was killed, and 9,000 Eight Banners cavalry were either killed or captured, and the situation in the entire Huangshi County changed dramatically in an instant.

On the second day when the remnants of less than 2,000 Eight Banner cavalry fled back to Huangshi City, the Chinese cavalry who had not yet sent troops rushed to Huangshi City, and Lin Jihua, the commander of the first battalion of the slave army, who had inquired about the battle situation outside the city, launched a rebellion, taking advantage of the second and third battalions of the slave army to take advantage of the lack of preparedness, and booby-trapped the commanders of the second and third battalions in one fell swoop, and integrated 30,000 slave troops to attack Huangshi City.

Without the main general to hold Hena's town, the 8,000 slave troops stationed in the city followed closely under Lin Jihua's onslaught and launched a rebellion, assisting Lin Jihua's army to quickly occupy the entire Huangshi City, and the remnants of the Eight Banners cavalry and Manchurians in the city were not spared.

On the afternoon of the day of the breakthrough of Huangshi City, Su Dingfang led 10,000 Tang cavalry to rush to the outside of Huangshi City, facing the Tang cavalry of the mighty army, Lin Jihua, who had the intention of surrendering, took the initiative to lead the troops to surrender, and the Hua Army occupied Huangshi City without a single soldier.

In the other two ways, the cavalry of the Northern Army led by He Bayun and the 20,000 cavalry led by He Bayue and Huang Jingtian also followed closely and broke through the four counties of Yong'an, Weiping, Xianshi and Xindian in less than four days.

At this point, the seven counties in the south of Xishan in Gongzhou entered the hands of the Chinese army.

Before the main forces of the two armies fought, the Qing army had already lost first, burying 50,000 troops and five counties.
