Chapter 14 Lianke Sanchang transferred to Ji'an
There was only a broken straw shoe left by the river, and the Gongyi camp was gone, and Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but scold in the face of the bubbling Xiushui River.
"Damn, the rogue has become an official army, the official army has become a rogue gangster, and the way of the world has changed!"
He led an army of 20,000 to hurry over, leaving heavy troops on the front line of Wuning, Jianchang, Xingzi, and De'an, in order to prevent the Gongyi battalion from flowing into the hinterland of Jiangxi, and then personally led 10,000 troops to attack Ruichang, wanting to wipe out the Gongyi battalion under the fortified city of Jiujiang Prefecture, at least to drive them back to Hubei, don't make trouble in Jiangxi.
However, after the Gongyi battalion broke through Ruichang, it did not attack Jiujiang Mansion, but carefully set up an ambush under the city, fought a clean ambush battle, and then turned around and left...... Jin Shenghuan sent scouts to search around, and found that they did not flee back to Hubei, but went in the direction of Wuning again.
Bring about one's own destruction!
Jin Shenghuan immediately chased after the army, preparing to wipe out the Gongyi battalion by the Xiushui River, but Wang Kefan had already prepared, and built two pontoon bridges with the bamboo raft of the Haode boat hidden in advance, calmly crossed the Xiushui River, and jumped out of the encirclement of the Qing army.
When the Qing army chased to the Xiushui River, the pontoon bridge had been destroyed by the Ming army, whether it was a detour or a bridge, it would be delayed for at least two or three days, Jin Shenghuan followed the Gongyi battalion in a big circle, but he didn't even see the shadow of the other party.
The Ming official army became a rogue, which made Jin Shenghuan a headache.
The Gongyi battalion fought and left, specifically looking for the weak links of the Qing army, and did not fight head-on with his main force, typical Li Chuangliukou style, since they crossed the Xiushui River, it was obvious that they were going to run into the central part of Jiangxi, and they had to make great efforts to redeploy troops to encircle them.
Although Jin Shenghuan has more than 100,000 troops, the main force is attacking Ganzhou, and the rest of the men and horses are guarding the various state capitals. There are not many troops in each county, and the old lady of the Gongyi battalion eats persimmons and picks up soft pinching, which is simply impossible to prevent.
"Jin Shuai doesn't have to be angry, I have a plan to get rid of this big trouble!" It was Huang Renlong who spoke, Jin Shenghuan's number one strategist.
"Oh? What is the clever plan of the sir, please tell me quickly! "Jin Shenghuan has great respect for Huang Renlong and is commensurate with Mr. (Sir was a very honorable title in the Ming Dynasty.) )
"Hehe, this plan is called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf!"
Huang Renlong smiled proudly, twisted his beard and said, "As far as I know. The reason why Wang Kefan wandered around Jiangxi was because he offended He Tengjiao, and he couldn't stand in Huguang, as long as he was sent to Yuanzhou Mansion (Yichun), he could sit back and relax......"
Wang Kefan offended his boss He Tengjiao. I couldn't get mixed up in Huguang, so I went to Jiangxi to make trouble. After he entered Jiangxi. Fanning the flames everywhere. supported his cronies, and also pushed Fan Wenqin to the front desk as a puppet, calling for resistance to the Qing Dynasty in the name of the Ming Dynasty's "Zhenwubo" and winning over the people, obviously wanting to set up his own door and divide one party.
Other words. Although the Gongyi Battalion is still under the banner of the Ming Army, it is actually a rebel army that betrayed the Ming Dynasty!
Although Wang Kefan won two battles, he went deep alone. Without logistical supplies, sooner or later it will be a dead end, as long as someone is sent to negotiate with him, there is a lot of room for negotiation in the middle.
He Tengjiao recently sent two groups of men, Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Xianbi, from Hunan to Jiangxi and occupy the western part of Yuanzhou and Ji'an. Wang Kefan betrayed and ran away, and He Tengjiao's men and horses must be incompatible, as long as they use both soft and hard to coax him to Yuanzhou Mansion, they can drive the tiger and devour the wolf and let them kill each other!
Huang Renlong analyzed the head, but Jin Shenghuan shook his head again and again.
"It's not proper, in case Wang Kefan, Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Xianbi join forces, it will be difficult to resist!"
In his opinion, Huang Renlong's Jihua is too much on paper, and there are many elements that he takes for granted, such as how to negotiate with Wang Kefan, how to explain to the Manchus afterwards, and more importantly, if Wang Kefan and Hao Zhang's second general join forces to support Ganzhou, it will affect the entire Jiangxi war situation.
"Please think twice!"
Huang Renlong was a little angry: "Although Wang Kefan's soldiers and horses are not many, they are uncertain, and it is difficult to cut them off in one fell swoop. ”
"This, I'll think about it again, think about it again......"
Although Jin Shenghuan did not agree with Huang Renlong's plan, he was also greatly inspired by it. What Wang Kefan did in Jiangxi did show signs of grabbing territory and seizing one side, so there are traces of his next move!
Looking at the map, his gaze stopped at Xinchang County.
Xinchang County (now Yifeng, Jiangxi), with many mountains in the north and many rivers in the south, can be used as a barrier, and can retreat into Huguang at any time to the west, and can threaten Ruizhou Mansion and Nanchang Mansion to the east......
Jin Shenghuan can be sure that Wang Kefan must have gone to Xinchang County!
He immediately ordered his subordinates to go to Nanchang Mansion and Ruizhou Mansion to send an order, and send 2,000 green battalion soldiers to reinforce Xinchang County, hold on to the city, and wait for his army to arrive.
According to Jin Shenghuan's estimate, as long as Nanchang Mansion and Ruizhou Mansion sent troops in time, they could reach Xinchang County in front of the Gongyi battalion.
What we have to do now is to rush to Xinchang County with the army in time and completely wipe out the Gongyi battalion!
He ordered all the departments to collect boats, ferry and build bridges to cross the Xiushui River, and then rushed all the way to Xinchang County, climbed several mountains one after another, and worked hard for six or seven days, and finally reached the territory of Xinchang County...... However, the news brought back by the scout made him furious, Xinchang County had been lost two days earlier, and the Gongyi camp was gone.
Jianchang, Ruichang, Xinchang, Gongyi Camp Lianke Sanchang!
Jin Shenghuan thought at first that Nanchang Mansion and Ruizhou Mansion must have been slow to send troops, delayed the fighters, and did not support Xinchang County in time, but after encountering the Qing army's rout on the road, he learned that both prefectures had sent reinforcements in time, and 2,000 green battalion soldiers arrived in Xinchang County in front of the Gongyi battalion.
That's weird.
Although the two thousand green battalion soldiers are not many, they will not lose the city so quickly if they hold on to the city.
"Qiyu Jin Shuai, the Ming army will know the demon law!"
The general of the rout said: "We are guarding the city wall, but the Ming army has set up a law platform, and there is a demon sword practice, and a thunderstorm blew up the city wall......
Jin Shenghuan was about to reprimand, but two more generals of the defeated army helped to speak.
"Yes, that demon is so powerful, he used a spell to blow up the sky and the earth shattered, and the brothers on the city wall didn't even leave a corpse capital!"
"I heard that the demon is a Heavenly Master, and he is the best at the Five Thunder Fa-rectification Technique......
I see!
"Big brother, Ruichang is the same, it must be this demon practice!" Jin Shengjie showed a look of sudden realization.
Jin Shenghuan's face was very ugly, he groaned for a moment, and suddenly urged the horse to rush forward, and the generals hurriedly followed with the army.
A few miles away from the county seat of Xinchang, I saw a huge gap in the city wall......
……
After Wang Kefan occupied Xinchang, he heard that Jin Shenghuan's army was hurrying over the mountains and mountains, so he took the initiative to retreat to the southwest.
To the southwest, it is the boundary between Yuanzhou Mansion and Ji'an Prefecture, where there are troops of Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Xianbi, the control of the Qing army is relatively weak, and the Gongyi battalion runs long distances and fights continuously, so you can take a rest.
After he entered Jiangxi, Liankening Prefecture, Wuning and Sanchang, a total of five county seats, Jin Shenghuan in order to prevent him from returning to Jiujiang and Nanchang again, will inevitably transfer troops to block the northern part of Jiangxi, but the Gongyi battalion has successfully entered the central part of Jiangxi, close to Tingzhou in Fujian Province hundreds of kilometers, the initial strategy has been completed.
Jiujiang Mansion, Nanchang Mansion, let Jin Shenghuan mobilize heavy troops to watch carefully, the Gongyi Battalion will not go again.
After entering the boundary of Yuanzhou Prefecture, they gradually moved away from the Mufu Mountains, the terrain became much smoother, and the speed of the troops' march also increased a lot. However, for the sake of safety, the Gongyi battalion resumed the march method of half a day of rushing and half a day of camping, carefully bypassing the Qing army and Hao Shaoqi, passing directly through Yuanzhou Mansion and entering Ji'an Mansion southward.
The Qing army was heavily guarded in the capital of Yuanzhou and Ji'an, in order to resist Hao Shaoqi and Zhang Xianbi, but after Hao Zhang's second general entered Jiangxi, he stayed and did not enter, and there was no major battle, leaving a huge vacuum between the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
For the reason for this, Wang Kefan of course knows very well, He Tengjiao sent Hao Zhanger General into Jiangxi, just to put on a welcoming appearance, in fact, he had already secretly ordered them not to really take Emperor Longwu to Huguang. (To be continued......)
