Chapter 36 Two dozen Ji'an mansions
PS: I'm sorry, I went out this morning, this chapter is to make up for noon, and there is another chapter in the evening.
……
Jin Shenghuan has 70,000 horses, which sounds like a lot, but in fact, he is not even satisfied with the Bird's Nest Stadium, but there are hundreds of square kilometers in the area of Fuzhou Mansion, and it is impossible to surround it.
Therefore, the encirclement of the Qing army is like a fence, and it is inevitable that there will be gaps in the middle.
In large-scale battles, these gaps are not loopholes, but dangerous traps.
A small group of Ming troops may drill out, but for the Gongyi battalion of nearly 10,000 horses, if they risk breaking through these gaps, the Qing army will not stand there and watch stupidly, and mobilize superior forces to encircle and intercept, and naturally seal the gap in the encirclement.
What makes Jin Shenghuan a headache is that there are two fences warning at the same time!
Two pieces of information, the content is diametrically opposed, one of which is definitely wrong, how to choose? If you choose the right one, you can block the Gongyi camp in the encirclement and wipe it out in one fell swoop, and if you choose the wrong one, the Gongyi camp will drill through the middle of the fence.
The top priority is to determine the whereabouts of the Gongyi camp.
Although Wang Kefan's method of using troops is strange, there are still traces to follow...... He has always been cautious and cautious, never fighting uncertain battles, preferring to take detours rather than taking risks, always looking for weak links to attack, and avoiding the superior forces of the Qing army.
The Qing army in the southwest is strong, and if the Gongyi battalion breaks through here, once it is entangled by the main force of the Qing army, it will definitely be annihilated, and the risk is too great, Wang Kefan will not choose this.
If you take 10,000 steps back, even if the Gongyi battalion is like a god and successfully breaks through from there, it will return to the area of Ji'an Mansion and face the 40,000 or 50,000 Qing troops in Ganzhou and enter a larger encirclement. It is equivalent to throwing yourself into the net.
After careful consideration, Jin Shenghuan believed that the Gongyi battalion had fled to Raozhou, and the fleet in the southwest direction was just the Fuzhou volunteers of Jiezhongxi.
He immediately issued an order to mobilize the main force of the Qing army to the north to block the Ming army in the direction of Raozhou.
However, as an experienced veteran on the battlefield, he also considered the possibility of accidents, and ordered other Qing troops to assemble in the southwest direction to block another Ming army.
According to modern parlance, this is called "grasping with both hands, and both hands must be hard." ”
But actually. Punching two punches at the same time, certainly none of them is powerful......
……
The flotilla of the Gongyi battalion went upstream, entered the territory of Le'an County, and then abandoned the boat and landed on the shore and broke through to the northwest.
On the encirclement of the Qing army. It was a narrow gap, with the main forces of the Qing army on the left and right. There is also a small town in front that is controlled by the Qing army. Stuck on the way to the Gongyi camp.
Forced march!
For the first time since the formation of the Gongyi Battalion, all personnel were lightly armed, carrying only three days' rations except for armor and weapons, and set off at dawn. Rushed to the town after dark and suddenly attacked and annihilated the defenders.
Without food, without baggage equipment, there is no point in fighting in a stupid village. As long as it is bitten by the main force of the Qing army, the Gongyi battalion is a dead end. They rested in the town for two hours, and set out again before dawn, walking a hundred and sixty miles in two days and one night!
It's an adventure, and it's all about the surprise!
Zhuge Liang was cautious all his life, and suddenly came to an empty city plan, deceived Sima Yi very lightly, and the Gongyi battalion ran all the way, jumping out of the encirclement before the Qing army could react!
But the danger has not yet been lifted, and the Qing army has realized that something is wrong and chased after them. The Gongyi battalion rested for a while, then marched overnight, and arrived in Jishui County at dawn the next day.
In the process of this forced march, the Gongyi battalion wiped out more than 200 Qing troops, but it fell behind and reduced more than 500 people, but the Gongyi battalion showed its limits and broke through its limits!
Many years later, in the memories of the veterans of the Gongyi Battalion, it is still difficult to forget the bits and pieces of the transfer to Jiangxi, and its commemorative significance even exceeds the recovery of Nanjing and Beijing. The veterans unanimously agreed that after the tempering of the battle in Jiangxi, the Gongyi Battalion grew into an iron army that could not be broken or delayed......
Tsujie arrived here on the first day and has been waiting for the Gongyi camp.
She has a relationship in Jishui County, and the materials brought from Huguang are hidden here, and she provides a batch of urgently needed military rations for the Gongyi battalion.
The Gongyi battalion descended from the sky, and the small number of Qing troops guarding the ferry did not have any ideological preparation, and lost the dock in a daze, Wang Kefan led the army to cross the Gan River and surrounded Ji'an Mansion that night.
Set up camp and sleep and rest.
For three days and two nights, the road traveled more than 300 miles, and it took another two hours to build the camp, and the officers and men of the whole army were exhausted, and everyone soon fell asleep except for the necessary vigilance troops.
Wang Kefan was supposed to be on duty at night, but Wang Sheng persuaded him to rest, and took more than 1,000 people and horses from his headquarters to act as a vigilance force. With him on duty at night, Wang Kefan was also very relieved, and he slept until the fourth watch before getting up to change shifts, and when he came to the camp wall, he saw Wang Sheng's eyes red and his eye sockets were deep, but his eyes were blazing without a trace of sleepiness.
"Third brother, you can really get through, go sleep for a while."
"Okay, I'll sleep for a while."
Wang Sheng sat on the camp wall, exhaled softly, and fell asleep with his head tilted......
……
The Ming army suddenly came outside the city, and there was a panic in Ji'an's mansion.
Ji'an Mansion is now occupied by the Qing army, and the guard general Yang Wulie, an old colleague of Gao Jinku, has 3,000 Jiangning green battalion soldiers under his command. The sentry reported that the Ming army was coming, and Yang Wulie was taken aback when he saw that the flag was still the Gongyi battalion.
The Gongyi battalion is in Fuzhou Mansion, surrounded by tens of thousands of Jin Shenghuan's troops, did they fall from the sky?
He hurried to the city wall and saw that the Gongyi camp was encamped, and it was not clear under the moonlight, but it should be about 10,000 horses.
"Fuck, shit!" After Yang Wulie scolded his mother, he had to face the reality. He only has 3,000 green battalion soldiers under his command, guarding a ruined Ji'an Mansion, and he is really not confident in how long he can hold out in the face of the famous Gongyi Battalion.
If you can't hold it, you have to hold on.
The Manchu masters are not so easy to fool, and Hong Chengchou in Nanjing is an old fox, if he does not flee without a fight, abandon Ji'an Mansion, and report the eight achievements is a crime of beheading.
It's not even better to go out of the city to face the battle, the Gongyi battalion is making trouble in Jiangxi, and now it is a famous murderer, since he has come to the door in a big way, he must have no fear, isn't it looking for death when he goes out of the city to fight? Could it be that the 3,000 green battalions under his command are more powerful than the 10,000 green battalions on the side of the Fuhe River?
Hold on to the city!
Even if it's a broken city!
Yang Wulie sent fast horses to the front line of Ganzhou to ask for help, and mobilized the young and strong in the city overnight to strengthen the gaps in the city wall that had just been half blocked. After a night of hard work, by dawn, more than a dozen gaps in the city wall were sealed again, but there was still only half a section of the wall more than a zhang high, half lower than the city wall next to it.
