Shortly after dawn, the north wind whined and large pieces of snow flew all over the sky, and the snowstorm that had been paving for several days finally reached its climax.

For two hours in a row, the blizzard showed no signs of abating.

The pale sun was gone, the low dark clouds were gone, the horizon suddenly became wide, the fields were filled with this dazzling white, and in all directions there were falling snow flakes, filling the whole heaven and earth, and the cold wind that rolled the snow flakes penetrated everywhere, pouring into the collar and cuffs like a small knife, instantly making people numb their hands and feet, and stiff limbs.

"Thief God!" Shi Wuxian lay flat on the stretcher and scolded at the gray sky.

His lower body was covered with a quilt, and his upper body was exposed, and a medical officer was treating him, and the layers of bandages wrapped him like a dumpling, but a large patch of blood oozed from his left ribs, and he was clearly seriously injured.

The Gongyi battalion is Wang Kefan's "Imperial Forest Army", the descendant of the lineage, the battalion officer has always been concurrently served by himself, not even a deputy battalion officer, in the middle of the year expanded into three small battalions, Shi Wuxian served as one of the small battalion officers.

With the promotion of his position, Shi Wuxian has fewer opportunities to charge into battle, and he will no longer be injured in every battle, in the eyes of this simple and simple man, this is all because the emperor's grandfather rewarded him with a good name, so he can turn evil into good fortune.

It's not surprising that I'm injured again today, don't you see that God is losing his temper? The emperor's grandfather is the son of heaven, and once God gets angry, it doesn't matter if he says it.

However, for Shi Wuxian, God is the emperor's grandfather's son. I can't control my own head, I have to scold when I should scold, and the battle is so bad. It's all because God is making trouble - this heavy snowfall is so inopportune!

"Even if Lao Tzu confesses here today, he will have to smash Li Chengdong's turtle shell!" He shouted to the generals around him, "What are you doing here?" You all think that Lao Tzu is dead, and if you don't break through Li Chengdong's military camp, no one is allowed to collect my body......"

"What nonsense? You control yourself first and take care of your wounds. ”

Suddenly a voice rang out from behind the crowd, not in a high pitch. But it revealed an undoubted majesty, Shi Wuxian's body was shocked, and he hurriedly struggled to sit up. But he pulled the wound and fell on the stretcher with a muffled grunt.

"See Wang Junmen!" The generals fell to one knee together.

"Get up." Wang Kefan waved his hand: "Tell me, how is this battle fought?" ”

I heard that the offensive on the front line was frustrated, and Shi was not injured. Wang Kefan took a few people from the staff department. Go to the front line and see how the battle is going.

From early yesterday morning to noon today, the Chu army launched several attacks in a row, but still failed to break through Li Chengdong's military camp, and there were still hundreds of casualties among themselves, and the main reason for this was that the Chu army was not suitable for fighting in the snow.

Snow rarely fell in the south, and the soldiers of the Chu army lacked experience in this area. Walking is slippery in one step and three times, and the formation of the formation is greatly affected. When charging, the speed could not be raised, and when retreating, the equipment could not be pushed, and the bowstring and gunpowder were damp, resulting in a greatly reduced firing rate......

Several attacks were fruitless, Shi Wushu personally led the team to charge, and rushed to the front of the camp wall, but he didn't expect the Qing army to bring a few tiger squat cannons, and fired together at a critical moment.

After listening to the report, Wang Kefan frowned and was silent for a moment, then raised his binoculars to look at Li Chengdong's barracks.

Li Chengdong's military camp is very tricky, it is stuck at a three-way intersection, and the Chu army wants to open up the connection with the Yuezhou camp, no matter which road it takes, it can't get around his military camp.

But in the telescope, you can see very clearly that this military camp is actually very simple, the camp wall is not high, the area is not large, and there are not too many barricades to protect it. Li Chengdong was in a hurry, he could only build the military camp like this, if it weren't for this damn weather, it would have been taken down by the Gongyi camp a long time ago.

In this case, it is like a smoker who has cut off his cigarette in the middle of the night, and it is easy to find the smoke, but he finds that there is no lighter, and he looks at it and drools, but he can't do it.

Wang Kefan felt irritable for a while, it was obvious that the terrain and weather were unfavorable, Shi Wushu could only choose to fight hard, there was no big problem with the way of playing, since he couldn't open the situation, there must be something wrong with the higher-level command.

He looked left and right, beckoned Wang Kebin to him.

After Wang Kebin was transferred to the General Staff, he was promoted to another level, and now he is a military attache of the fifth grade, and a level of garrison, but according to Wang Kefan's order, the officers of the General Staff are all called staff officers, and many people can't figure out how big an officer they are.

"Sixth, the battle has come to this point, what should I do now?"

"We should stop the assault and wait until the blizzard stops." When Wang Kebin first joined the Chu army, although he was a martial artist, he was just a fake expert who had read a few military books, and after a year of training in the grassroots troops, he had an intuitive understanding of the battlefield, and his ability to analyze and judge had also been greatly improved, and he did not hesitate to put forward his own opinions.

"Oh? Tell me, why? Wang Kefan asked.

"If you continue to attack in this weather, you will definitely lose more than you gain." Wang Kebin replied: "Even if we defeat Li Chengdong and Lin Guangyuan at any cost, we may not be able to rush to the Ganjiang camp smoothly, it is better to send someone to inform Tan Xiao and let the Yuezhou battalion stick to avoid the battle, so that we can cover Wang Sheng and their ......."

When Wang Kefan heard this, he raised his head and looked at him deeply.

In general, Wang Kebin's analysis is generally reliable, although the first half of the consideration is not very comprehensive, but it can also get to the point, what really moved Wang Kefan was his last sentence - let Tan Xiao nail in the Ganjiang camp, you can cover Wang Sheng!

The Qing army has now shown its cards, that is, the idea of fighting the Yuezhou battalion, and they have tried their best to organize this large-scale counteroffensive, of course, the Yuezhou battalion is bound to win. If the plan is calculated and the Yuezhou battalion is treated as a carrot and dangles in front of the eyes of the Qing army, it will definitely attract a large number of Qing troops to the south, indirectly covering Wang Sheng's actions.

That's the right choice!

Storming Li Chengdong and Lin Guangyuan, he was anxious to open up contact with the Yuezhou battalion. This choice, if not the worst, is definitely not a good way, no wonder it made the Gongyi camp hit a nail!

"You're right. I'm in a bit of a hurry. Wang Kefan regretted it for a while.

After the Qing army launched a counteroffensive, it caused a lot of trouble to the Chu army, and suffered losses in several places such as Huangshagang, although the casualty figure has not yet been counted, but it has to reach four figures.

The traverser is not omnipotent. With Wang Kefan's ability, he can command a small army of several thousand people all the time, and he can basically do it with ease. Large-scale battles of more than 100,000 men on both sides sometimes reveal flaws.

In that year, he led the Gongyi battalion to Jiangxi, and the strategic intention of rescuing Emperor Longwu was kept secret until the end, always attacking the weak links of the Qing army with the weak side. Flexible and mobile. So successive victories...... In the current Battle of Nanchang, the strategic intentions of the Chu army were very clear as soon as they came up, and the Qing army would naturally fight-for-tat, and Jin Shenghuan in Nanchang City was not only a burden to the Qing army, but also a burden to the Chu army.

In order to relieve the siege of Nanchang, Wang Kefan sent Wang Sheng to make a detour to Mufu Mountain and took away part of his troops. and put all the remaining troops into a feint, which will cause a weak follow-up. was hit by the Qing army with a counterattack.

If they had gathered some strength and had not spread out all the troops, the Eight Banners Cavalry would not have tore through the defense line of the Chu army so lightly.

If another stronghold was set up between the Yuezhou camp and Zhangshu Town, and a receiving force was sent to garrison it, the Yuezhou camp would not be so dangerous.

If the east bank of the Gan River were abandoned and the remaining forces were concentrated on the west bank, it would not be so stretched now......

Too many ifs, making Wang Kefan feel guilty, a small negligence on the part of the coach, as long as he is caught by the enemy, will cause hundreds of sacrifices.

There are certain accidental factors in this, but the war has always only looked at the results, not the objective reasons, after hearing that Huangshagang was lost, Wang Kefan regretted it very much, and only thought about fighting back at the Qing army from the front, smashing their attempts, and making up for his mistakes.

Therefore, he will not hesitate to attack Li Chengdong.

However, I didn't expect that it would be calculated.

Tan Tai sent Li Chengdong to let him act as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the Chu army, but he just fought with Li Chengdong, wouldn't he be in Tan Tai's hands? !

Wang Kefan realized that he should try his best to adjust his thinking, like Wang Kebin, who does not have too much psychological burden, and jump out to re-examine the entire battle situation from the calm perspective of a bystander.

You can't make a mistake again and again!

Fortunately, less than a day has passed, and it is still too late to correct it.

He hurried into the unharmed military tent and ordered, "Bring the map!" ”

After pondering the map for a long time, a new battle plan gradually became clear and gradually took shape, and after some discussion with several staff officers, he finally made up his mind.

"Pass on my generals......"

In accordance with Wang Kefan's order, the Gongyi battalion suspended the attack on Li Chengdong.

At the same time, a herald was sent to inform Tan Xiao to hold the camp on the Ganjiang River and act as a decoy to attract the main force of the Qing army.

The various units of the Chu army on the east bank of the Gan River shrank to the riverside, collected boats, built bamboo rafts, and were ready to build pontoon bridges to cross the river at any time.

There are also several units of the Chu army on the west bank of the Ganjiang River, such as Zhang Jiayu's Dongguan battalion, Ti Zhaorong's Xicai battalion, Wang Ding's musket battalion, etc., according to Wang Kefan's order last night, they should be approaching the Yuezhou battalion and Zhangshu Town at full speed.

Now it's time to make adjustments. Those who are moving closer to Zhangshu Town will not change the direction of their march, but their speed can be slowed down a bit, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the troops, and if they come, they will be able to fight, and if they fight, they will be able to win -- since Lin Guangyuan and Li Chengdong are cannon fodder, they should concentrate their forces and completely destroy them.

Those who moved closer to the Yuezhou battalion had to change the direction of their march, on the one hand, let the Yuezhou battalion show the enemy weakness, and on the other hand, outflank the rear road of the Qing army.

In the event of a war between the two armies, whoever can realize their strategic intentions and at the same time sabotage the enemy's deployment and plan will be able to win.

Although the Eight Banners cavalry occupied the right time and place, they ran long distances, lightly armed and hurried, like a second-rate quality sword, which looked extremely sharp from the front, but from the side, it was a thin and narrow piece of iron.

Wang Kefan was ready to be rough, lifted a stone, aimed it at the side and smashed it down. (To be continued......)
