The current Bambulshan is young and vigorous, and he has not yet realized that he can change his fate by virtue of his military exploits, and after assembling the troops, he led 1,500 Eight Banner cavalry to kill Changge violently, intending to annihilate Li Laiheng in one fell swoop.

During the Battle of Huguang, the Eight Banners cavalry were tied and could not give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, so they suffered a big loss. The cavalry of the Dashun army has always been the defeated general of the Eight Banners cavalry, although with 1,500 men against 2,000 men, Bamburshan has the confidence of victory.

However, he pounced.

Changge left to him was an empty city, Li Laiheng and the 2,000 cavalry of the Twist Army were gone, and only after asking someone did he know that the Twist Army quietly left Changge yesterday morning, and his whereabouts were unknown.

made a heavy punch with all his strength, but it almost flashed in the air, and Bamburshan was unspeakably uncomfortable. Although a hundred were unwilling, he had no choice but to stay in Changge for the time being, sending ranger scouts to investigate everywhere. The Qianli Plain is not a joke, the Chu army has gone in all directions, and it is impossible to catch up without finding out the enemy's situation.

The efficiency of the Qing army scouts was very high, and they brought back the news that night, Li Laiheng had arrived in Weishi County, Weishi County ordered to abandon the city and flee, the people in the city opened the city gate to meet the Twist army, Li Laiheng won without a fight and occupied the county seat of Weishi, less than 100 miles away from the provincial capital Kaifeng.

Pursue! Chase it now!

Bambul was eager to fight, and led the Qing cavalry all the way to Weishi County. When they arrived in Weishi County, the Twist Army had already left again, leaving them only with the bare heads of the people in the city, and not a single braid.

Wrong. There were also a few braids, which were the Weishi county commander and a few retinues who had just returned to the city, and the Weishi county commander saw the aftermath of Bambur. knelt down and kowtowed, and called the capital crime in his mouth.

"Enough, I don't care about your business, how to punish you for escaping, go to Wu Jingdao. I just want to know where the hell the Southern Thieves went. Bambur had a calm face, and he didn't even get off his horse.

"I heard that the southern thief went east, maybe it was Chen Liu. Maybe it's a pass, maybe it's Qixian ......" Wei's county order only knows the general direction.

"Where the hell is it?!" Bamburshan's face became even more ugly.

Henan has a large population and dense cities. The distance between the county seats is often only forty or fifty miles, and Chenliu, Tongxu and Qi counties are all suburban counties of Kaifeng, all of which are east of Weishi County, but northeast, southeast and due east. Which way should I go from there? But there's a big difference.

"Please also ask the general for forgiveness, the criminal officer really doesn't know how to go into detail......" The county commander of the Wei clan kowtowed again and again, but Bamburshan urged his mount and rushed past him.

Go east first, explore as you go, even if you take some detours, it is better than waiting in Weishi County.

"Master Zhangjing, wait a minute!" One of his officers urged the horse to chase after him, and said, "I heard that the Yuyuan thieves have been making a lot of trouble recently. There are several bandits in the eastern part of Henan, known as an army of 100,000 to the outside world. We waited for days to rush into eastern Henan, in case the southern thieves and the Yuyuan thieves joined forces, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to Lord Zhang Jing. ”

"This ......" Bambulshan pulled the reins abruptly, and the mount under his crotch hissed and stopped.

It is said that there is an exaggeration in the army of 100,000 to the outside world, but there is no 100,000, and it is entirely possible that there are 20,000 or 30,000...... It doesn't matter if there are only 20,000 or 30,000 Yuyuan troops, Bambulshan is confident that 1,500 Eight Banner cavalry can sweep them, but with 2,000 Chu cavalry on the side, the problem will be a little troublesome.

"Tell the whole army, go slowly, try to cherish the horsepower, and be ready to fight at any time." Bamburshan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Also, immediately send a fast horse to Kaifeng, contact the Eight Banners stationed in the city, and work with me to exterminate the southern thieves." ”

Bamburshan was faintly worried, after the two thousand Chu army cavalry entered the plain area, they waved a shot to the south, and then went all the way to the east, obviously heading towards the Yuyuan army. If they were supported by the local Yuyuan Army in Henan, the cavalry of the two thousand Chu Army would have a foundation and supplies, and it would be difficult to destroy them.

The officer answered, and turned his horse to leave, but Bamburshan stopped him again.

"Send someone to Nanyang again, ask Wu Jingdao to come back and sit in town, and be polite when you speak. Henan has become like this, what is he still doing in Nanyang? In addition, let him check whether Li Jiyu in Luoyang is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. ”

Although Ban Bushan is a Manchu clan, his status is too low, and he is not enough to see in front of a feudal official like Wu Jingdao, and he can't command the garrisons in various parts of Henan, so he has to discuss with Wu Jingdao with good words and ask him to return to Kaifeng to sit in town, but he can't order him.

……

After receiving the news of Shangrao's loss, Tan Tai finally couldn't sit still.

As soon as Shangrao was lost, the northern part of Fujian lost its barrier, and the Chu army could directly enter Fujian from Jianning Mansion and Shaowu Mansion and launch an attack on Tong Yangjia. Tong Yangjia's side was already in danger, and if the Chu army, a tiger and wolf army, was added, I am afraid that it would collapse immediately.

Tan Tai urgently ordered Zhumala, who had already arrived in Zhejiang, to march at full speed, rush to Quzhou Mansion as soon as possible, and launch an attack on Jiangshan County with the soldiers and horses of Tian Xiong, the governor of Zhejiang, and Zhou Lianggong from Fujian to attack from the north and south, and open up the Xianxia Ancient Road.

At the same time, he personally led a reinforcement force of nearly 20,000 people to leave Anqing Mansion and sail to Zhejiang to serve as a backup for Jumala. When the battle comes to this point, you can't watch Tong Yangjia finish up and do nothing, you can't use any high-level tactics that don't cross the bridge, and you can't use any anti-guest-based advanced tactics, so you can only put out the fire wherever you want, and deal with the crisis in front of you first.

On the Beijing side, Prince Zheng Jierharang was dispatching troops and horses to prepare to go south to support, but it was thousands of miles away, and the army was mobilized and assembled, and it was impossible to reach Jiangnan in two or three months. Before Zilharang arrives, Tan Tai must try to maintain the situation and not deteriorate too harshly.

Let's fight a decisive battle in Xianxialing!

Tan Tai felt that the current shape was already very clear, in order to eliminate Tong Yangjia in Fujian, the Ming army would definitely not withdraw from the Xianxia Ancient Road, and the battle in Xianxialing and even Jiangshan County would become bigger and bigger, and finally become the decisive battlefield of the Ming and Qing armies.

The southern part of Zhejiang is hilly and mountainous, and it is difficult for large troops to deploy, so it is not an ideal battlefield, but the Ming army also has to face this problem, so it is still acceptable. Comparatively speaking, because the Qing army controlled the waterway of the Qiantang River, it was faster and more advantageous to mobilize troops and transport supplies.

Defeat the Chu army at Xianxia Ridge, and then open up the Xianxia Ancient Road to support Tong Yangjia in Fujian...... When Jilharang's army arrives in Jiangnan, the Qing army can launch a large-scale counteroffensive to recapture Jiangxi, and it is even possible to capture Guangdong!

The difficulties are temporary, the future is bright, and Tan Tai is full of confidence in victory.

The intelligence bureau of the Chu army was like an efficient machine, fully engaged in the Eastern Crusade, and as soon as Tan Tai's reinforcements left Anqing Mansion, an accurate and detailed piece of information was sent to Wang Kefan's desk.

"It's finally time for this day."

Wang Kefan carefully read this information and handed it to Li Yuncong casually: "Tan Tai is leaving, there are only more than 10,000 Qing troops left in Anqing Mansion, and the Qing army camp at the mouth of Poyang Lake has also become an empty camp, it is time for us to attack." ”

Li Yuncong looked at the information in his hand and responded: "Yes, I waited for almost two months to finally wait for this opportunity, and I really can't wait to do it immediately." However, Tan Tai has not gone far yet, and he can't act rashly for the time being, so as not to startle him and retreat back to Anqing Mansion. ”

Wang Kefan nodded, came to the map, looked at it for a while, and said: "Send someone to Wang Sheng's place, and order the Pingjiang battalion and the Dongguan battalion to launch a general attack on Chepanling in three days, eliminate Zhang Cunren, and go north immediately after the battle of Shangrao." The Changsha battalion went east to capture Cenyang Pass, launched a feint on the east side of the Twenty-Eight Capital, and had to end the battle by mid-April, and also turned north to participate in the attack on Nanzhili. ”

"What are you doing with Twenty-Eight?" Li Yuncong's military level is not high, and there are many problems.

"Tan Tai's wishful thinking, he wants to attack Xianxialing in the north and south, let's beat Zhou Lianggong before he starts, and the pressure in the future will be much less. The Changsha battalion is only a feint, and the main attack is still Chen Bangfu and Chen Youlong, even if they can't capture the Twenty-Eight Capital and Fengling Pass, at least they must take down the Xianxia Pass to ensure that the south road is foolproof. ”

After Zhenxiao Camp and Chen Bangfu attacked Xianxia Ridge, they only occupied the first, second and third passes of Xianxia, and the fourth and fifth passes were still in the hands of the Qing army.

Li Yuncong thought for a while and said, "Zhou Lianggong is on guard, and the strong attack may not work. ”

"It's okay, let Chen Youlong drag up a few cannons, and condescendingly bombard the Tartars, and the four and five levels will definitely be able to be taken." Wang Kefan explained casually, his eyes still staring at the map: "Tan Tai is menacing, this battle in Jiangshan County will definitely not be easy to fight, Teng Shuanglin is known as Xiao Zhuge , it depends on his ability." In addition, Jin Shenghuan has been resting for a few months, and it is time to carry out activities, send someone to send him a message, Tan Tai's main force has left, you can go to Jiujiang to pick up some cheap ......"

With Wang Kefan's order, the main force of the Chu army, which had been staying in Raozhou Mansion, began to secretly move to the front line for the final pre-war preparations.

If the enemy does not move, I will not move.

If the enemy wants to move, I will move first.

Static braking, in fact, is like a taut spring, which may exert force at any time.

After this period of preparation, the Raozhou Mansion had stockpiled a large amount of food and supplies, enough to launch a large-scale attack.

Tan Tai took a boat along the Yangtze River to Zhejiang, in order to turn to the Qiantang River, so to go east to make a circle, when he walked near Taihu Lake, Lu Renqing led the Puqi camp out of Jingdezhen, Wang Ding and Gu Zongfu's Ji'an camp went north to Shimen Town, less than fifty miles away from the border of Anqing Mansion, and the Gongyi battalion followed, forming a triangular formation with them, ready to attack.

At the same time, the Pingjiang battalion and the Dongguan battalion in Shangrao launched a general attack on Zhang Cunren, who was surrounded on Chepanling. (To be continued......)
