Killing pigs and buttocks, and Liu Bocheng's "don't hit the horns of cattle" is a truth, both of which are to avoid reality and hit the enemy's weak links.

After the Gongyi battalion approached Ganzhou, it suddenly turned to the southeast, avoided the center of the Qing army's camp, and specifically attacked the weak strongholds on the periphery, and had contact and battle with Wang Deren's green battalion soldiers.

Wang Deren had been prepared for this for a long time, and immediately rushed over with reinforcements.

The Gongyi battalion swaggered along the Gan River south, and the speed of the march was not fast, and after walking for more than 200 miles for four or five days, Wang Deren had already received the information and made corresponding arrangements.

During this period of time, while besieging Ganzhou, Wang Deren has been paying attention to the movements of the Gongyi battalion. The Gongyi battalion wandered around Jiangxi, and won several battles in a row, and Jin Shenghuan could be regarded as able to lead troops to fight, but he suffered losses one after another under the hands of the Gongyi battalion, which made Wang Deren very disapproving.

The Dashun army is the ancestor of the Liukou, Wang Deren was born in the Dashun Army, and he has a lot of experience in fighting against the Liu, and of course there are two brushes to deal with the Liuchuan operation, and the Gongyi Battalion is moving around in Jiangxi, which is undoubtedly an axe for him, which is very ridiculous.

You must be patient when dealing with the rogue, Jin Shenghuan's biggest mistake is to be in a hurry, always following the ass of Gongyi Ying, being led by the other party, of course, passive everywhere, and if you are not careful, you will show flaws.

Wang Deren would not make such a mistake.

He saw very clearly that the Gongyi Battalion had worked hard and traveled all the way to rescue Ganzhou, no matter what conspiracy they had, as long as they did not leave Ganzhou, they would already be invincible.

The Ming army in the city of Ganzhou has been ready to move recently, frequently going out of the city to collect grain, firewood and grass, and also repairing the city wall in a big way, in order to prevent the Ming army in Ganzhou from taking the opportunity to counterattack, Wang Deren adjusted the deployment. Far from weakening, the besieging forces were strengthened. Compared with the Gongyi Battalion, the importance of Ganzhou is much higher, and it must not be lost because of the small.

The Gongyi battalion likes to wander and let him go, running around needs food and silver, as long as the strong wall is cleared, so that the Gongyi battalion can't grab food, it will naturally be wandering, and wait until Jin Shenghuan's army goes south, and the Qing army in Ganzhou is flanked before and after. to destroy them.

Wang Deren did not intend to eat the Gongyi camp in one bite, but patiently set up his own fence.

He sent people everywhere to put up notices warning the gentry and landlords in the countryside that if they did anything to help the Gongyi battalion, they would be punished as collaborating with the enemy. Severe punishment will not be granted.

After the Qing army invaded the southern part of Jiangxi, it did a lot of logistical work in order to attack Ganzhou. Tens of thousands of people were recruited to repair the roads. There were also many strongholds built along the road, including beacon towers, post stations, warehouses, etc., which stored a lot of grain and must not be taken away by the Gongyi battalion.

Wang Deren ordered all the camps and strongholds to be vigilant and strictly prevent the Gongyi battalion from attacking in disguise. Judging from the various information received, the Gongyi Battalion is not taboo in fighting, whether it is a surprise attack in disguise or stealing the camp and robbing the village, any trick may be used. You have to be careful.

At the same time, he also ordered that if these strongholds were attacked by the superior forces of the Ming army, they should immediately burn the warehouses, transfer and retreat, concentrate the troops in the large camps and strongholds to wait for reinforcements, and if the large camps were also breached, all the military rations must be burned.

The formation of the Qing army is centered on Ganzhou, distributed in a circular shape, Wang Deren has more than 10,000 elite reserve troops in his hands, arranged across the river on the opposite bank of Ganzhou City, in the center of the Qing army's formation, no matter which direction the Gongyi battalion launches an attack, his reinforcements can arrive in the shortest possible time, and give a head-on attack.

Infallible!

This is a very safe arrangement, Wang Deren believes that if you want to break through his defense line to rescue Ganzhou, it is impossible!

The first move of the Gongyi battalion was not surprising, it was still in accordance with the habit of the rogues to avoid the real and make up for the false, bypassing the fortified camp on the edge of the Gan River, and launching an attack from the southeast. The Qing army had been prepared for this, and immediately set fire to two small strongholds, and retreated before the Ming army arrived.

Shrinking the defense and waiting for reinforcements is a policy that has been set a long time ago.

The reinforcements sent by Wang Deren arrived, but unexpectedly, after the Ming army conquered the two outlying strongholds, it did not continue to go deeper, but inserted diagonally to the southeast, and had already run out for dozens of miles, destroying several Qing strongholds along the way.

That's more annoying!

Weishenme can't fight a battle with dignity?

The Qing general who led the troops had a headache, and Wang Deren had clear instructions before coming, and the task given to him was to block the Gongyi battalion, and if the Ming army took the initiative to withdraw, it was not allowed to pursue. But the Ming army inserted it diagonally, as if a shallow cut on the ass of the Qing army, the wound was not deep but the blood did not stop.

He sent someone to report the situation to Wang Deren, and before he could wait for a follow-up order, news came that the Ming army had conquered a large camp of the Qing army sixty miles away, and eliminated more than 500 defenders.

Well, chase it!

He had just set off with his troops, and received an order from Wang Deren to stick to the same place and not to move, as for the Gongyi battalion, Wang Deren had already personally led the army to block it......

When Wang Deren caught up, the Gongyi battalion had already left, still interspersed in the southeast direction, destroying more than a dozen small strongholds and three large camps along the way, and the Qing army not only lost more than 1,000 people, but was also forced to burn the military rations of the 5,000 army for three months.

Wang Deren was conservative for a while, and was cut off a thick piece of meat on his butt by Gongyiying.

I endure!

Wang Deren warned himself not to be angry, if he changed his strategy at this time, he might fall for the enemy's tricks, Ganzhou was already a turtle in the urn, and he must not follow the Gongyi battalion to go around in circles.

In order to avoid the repetition of the Gongyi battalion's old tricks, he abandoned some of the outlying strongholds, transported all the grain and materials in the warehouse, and shrunk the entire formation inward for twenty miles, and recruited people to dig trenches and cut off the roads interspersed by the Gongyi battalion - I will hide your ass so that you can't cut it.

At the same time, he sent people to Jin Shenghuan to report the urgency, urging him to immediately send troops to support, if the army is not easy to move, he can also send more than 10,000 people to the south by boat from the south of the Gan River to relieve the urgent need.

At this time, Xingguo County suddenly sent people to ask for help, and the Gongyi battalion had fled to them and had already surrounded the county seat.

To save or not to save?

Wang Deren Zuihou decided not to save.

He was shrinking his formation backwards, and he was already dozens of miles away from Xingguo County, and he hurriedly sent troops to rescue, he must be in a hurry, what if he was ambushed again? It is not the first time that the Gongyi battalion has besieged the city and sent reinforcements. Just let them occupy a small Xingguo County, how big of a climate can it be?

……

Xingguo County is located in the south-central part of Jiangxi, close to Pingjiang.

The Gongyi battalion spent two days to blow up the city wall to conquer the county seat, and seized the ferry crossing the Pingjiang River.

For his move, many generals in the Gongyi Battalion couldn't understand it.

It's fun to kill pigs and butts, weishenme doesn't turn around and go back to kill a few more knives? What to do in eastern Jiangxi? Don't you go to rescue Ganzhou?

After the Gongyi battalion entered Jiangxi, it went around a few circles to Xingguo County, and unconsciously walked far to the southeast, almost a thousand miles, and it was already so far away from Chongyang's hometown, do you want to continue to go east?

Wang Kefan clearly felt that the morale of the army was somewhat unstable.

It's time to unravel the mystery!

That night, Wang Kefan summoned several important generals to his central military tent to discuss matters.

Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao, Zhou Guodong, Lu Renqing, Teng Shuanglin, and Ti Zhaorong, a total of six senior officers of the Gongyi Battalion, when they came to the Zhongjun tent one after another, they immediately found that the atmosphere here was extremely serious.

Within 100 steps from the Chinese military tent, Wang Kefan's personal army team is on guard, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, two cordons in front and back, and no one is allowed to approach the Chinese military tent. All the generals' personal soldiers were not allowed to enter, even Wang Kefan's personal soldiers, and the cordon they formed was far away from the Chinese army's tent, and as long as they did not shout loudly, those personal soldiers could not hear what was said in the tent.

Seeing this, Ti Zhaorong couldn't help but pause, hesitated for a moment and untied his waist knife, and handed it to Jingliang who was standing at the door, but Teng Shuanglin stretched out his hand and stopped him.

"It's such a big formation, do you want to hand over your weapons?" Teng Shuanglin asked, his eyes shining.

"No, General Wang said, the vigilance is only to prevent the wall from having ears, not to believe the generals."

Jingliang gave a salute to Ti Zhaorong, Ti Zhaorong withdrew his waist knife, and the look on his face was naturally a lot - he had taken refuge in Wang Kefan for too short a time, and the cavalry under his command was too strong, if there was really any arrangement, nine times out of ten it was aimed at him.

Teng Shuanglin suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Old post, you think too much, since you follow General Wang, can't you still trust him as a person?" ”

"Oh......" Ti Zhaorong was aware of his thoughts, and his face immediately turned the color of pig liver.

"Now that you've gone to the knife, can you hang it back again? Let's put it down and go inside. ”

Teng Shuanglin persuaded in a low voice again, and entered the Zhongjun tent by himself, and then Ti Zhaorong reacted, put the waist knife aside, picked up the curtain and followed in.

"Lao Ti, I'm waiting for you."

As Wang Kefan greeted, Ti Zhaorong raised his eyes and saw that except for a few of them in the tent, only the Hua Tianshi who knew magic was present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have invited you here today because Master Hua Tian has an important matter to announce." Wang Kefan got straight to the point and directly invited Hua Xiaoyue to play.

Wang Sheng and the others all felt very strange, and several of them knew the secret of the Gongyi Battalion using gunpowder to blow up the city wall.

But there are many strange things about this Hua Tianshi, Zhai Jiao is all refined, and his reputation in Gongyi Camp and Chongyang County is very high, and I heard that he is also good at divination, and he calculated that there will be great difficulties when the first assistant of the Zodiac Zhou of the dynasty. When the news of Huang Daozhou's defeat and capture came, Wang Sheng and the others were very shocked, and they also had a sense of awe for Hua Tianshi, and they couldn't figure out whether he (she) could spell.

With such a solemn matter today, Hua Tianshi will definitely announce an astonishing news. (To be continued......)
