In the eyes of the generals of the Qing army, returning to the army to slap Dongshan is a good fighter, and in general, the opportunities outweigh the risks, and it is worth fighting.

Fighting this kind of thing, sometimes it's not something you can fight if you want to fight, Zierharang has the advantage of troops, and has always wanted to fight head-on with the Chu army, turning the advantage into victory, but the Chu army took advantage of the special terrain in the mountainous area of Ningzhen to resist step by step, and when the pressure was too great, it gave up the position and took the initiative to retreat, and the Qing army divided the troops to pounce over and bite hard, which made Zierharang in a dilemma, and he couldn't grasp the main force of the Chu army, so he could only attack all the way in the direction of Yanling Town.

The Chu army built a large number of strong fortifications in this direction, causing severe casualties to the Qing army, and Zierharang was taking the initiative to attack on the surface, but in fact he was very passive, just like playing chess and not being able to take the lead, always following the pace of the opponent, pinning all hopes of victory on being able to break through the Maoshan defense line in time, but there was no effective way to attack the Chu army...... Some generals in the Qing army, led by He Luohui, have already put forward their opinions, feeling that Ji'er Harang's tactics are too conservative, and they only want to relieve the siege of Yanling Town, and the offensive route is too simple, even if they succeed in rescuing Jumala and Mulima in the end, they will not lose more than they lose because of the heavy casualties, and they still cannot eliminate the main force of the Chu army.

If the Battle of Ningzhen finally ended up with such a result, the Qing army could only say that it had thwarted the enemy's intentions, but it would not be able to talk about victory in any case. According to a rough statistics, plus the plague and other non-combat attrition, his troops have lost more than 10,000 people so far, Zhu Mala and Mulima have also suffered thousands of casualties, plus Zhang Tianlu, Liu Hongyu, Bu Congshan, Hao Xiaozhong and other departments, the Qing army has lost a total of 30,000 troops in the battle of Ningzhen, even if the Chu army is finally driven back to Jiangxi. Although this battle was also won and defeated, it was difficult to explain to the Qing court.

Zilharang led half of the army south. What he wanted was not just to relieve the siege of Nanjing, he was eager to inflict heavy losses and even destroy the Chu army. Suppress the resistance momentum of the Southern Ming, and then further invade Jiangxi, Huguang and Liangguang to eliminate the Longwu regime that has been resisting...... He knew very well that after entering the customs, the Eight Banners were degenerating and corrupting at a rapid speed, just like a hungry wolf would greatly reduce its ferocity when it was full, this is the general trend, unstoppable, if you can't seize the time to dominate the world, you may have no chance in the future. The wave of Han resistance this time was so ferocious. The so-called "Eastern Crusade" is even more watchful, and he must maintain the myth of the invincibility of the Eight Banners, instead of rescuing Zhu Mala and Mulima without pain, but watching the Chu army calmly retreat to Jiangxi.

The division of troops of the Chu army to cut off the slap cave mountain is a provocation and temptation...... It came at the right time! Since Wang Kefan dared to take the lead, Jierharang was determined to seize this rare opportunity to hold the Chu army to the death, not allowing them to hide in the ravine to hide and seek, and decide the victory in the battle of Bazhangdong Mountain!

The order was handed down. The three armies are inspired.

The grinding array is not conducive to the deployment of troops, the Qing army has tens of thousands of horses, only the forward troops and a small number of flank troops are fighting, and the main force is playing soy sauce. During these days, I have suffered a lot in the ravine, and the whole army is so aggrieved that I heard that the southern thieves dare to cut off my grain route. The officers and men of the Eight Banners all enthusiastically sought to fight...... The plague was prevalent in the Maoshan camp, and the heat was unbearable. The southern thief couldn't see a single hair, but he was tossed by countless mosquitoes, insects, snakes and rats. Our Eight Banner soldiers are all iron-clad good men, with a scar the size of a bowl on their heads, and they have always been not afraid of the sky and the earth, but the groups of mosquitoes and the cold poisonous snakes are so scared that people are scared to death, and it is more enjoyable to go to war.

He Luo will transfer 20,000 of them, a total of more than 8,000 people from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, more than 3,000 people from the Han Army Banner, more than 6,000 elite soldiers from the Green Battalion, and thousands of auxiliary soldiers, like an upside-down torrent, to turn around and kill the Palm Cave Mountain...... Zilharang stayed in Putang Village to sit in the town, reduced the troops but did not reduce the battalion, still retained the five-point plum blossom camp, and continued to attack Maoshan. This is not a feint, but a real attack, He Luohui took away 20,000 Qing troops, and there are 30,000 horses under Zierharang, and their colleagues put pressure on Bazhangdong Mountain and Maoshan Mountain, and the Chu army will take care of one or the other, and sooner or later one side will not be able to withstand it.

At the same time, Jierharang sent people to inform Tan Tai on the periphery of Maoshan that in addition to the Qing army that originally guarded the grain road, he would mobilize 10,000 Qing troops from Danyang County to enter the Ningzhen Mountains and attack on both sides of Bazhangdong Mountain...... As long as Liyang County is occupied, after the defeat of the Chu army, it will not be able to rush to the southeast into Changzhou Mansion or Ningguo Mansion, and can only retreat from the line of Moling Pass - Taiping Mansion - Chizhou Mansion, losing the space for maneuvering and conversion, and the Qing army can use the naval division and cavalry to catch up, and then surround the remnants of the Chu army on the bank of the Yangtze River, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop.

During this time, the Qing army was also constantly increasing reinforcements, counting the defenders of Nanjing City, Jintan County, Zhenjiang, Changzhou and other state capitals, the total number of Qing troops on the periphery of the Ningzhen Mountains has exceeded 35,000 people, commanded by Tan Tai and Ma Guozhu respectively, plus the 50,000 troops of Zierharang, more than 10,000 people in Zhumala and Mulima, the Qing army has invested nearly 100,000 troops in Nanzhili, and the mobile forces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Shandong, Beizhili, and even Beijing have been withdrawn. Zilharang and He Luohui and other Qing generals are bound to win!

and He Luohui went out together, as well as Zhenguo Gong Fu Lehe, Manchu Yellow Banner Meilezhang Jingbashan, Han Army Banner Meilezhang Jing Zhang Dayou, Green Battalion General Zhang Guozhu and other Manchu and Han generals, among which Fu Lehe is He Luohui's deputy, Bashan is the forward of the charge, Zhang Dayou is the artillery commander, Zhang Guozhu is the cannon fodder commander...... He Luohui led these Qing generals and 20,000 troops to kill along the way to Bazhangdong Mountain, and the speed of the marching march was very fast at the reception of the Qing army camp along the road, and the next night approached the periphery of Bazhangdong Mountain.

The Ji'an Battalion and Puqi Battalion of the Chu Army suddenly sent troops to cut off the supply line of the Qing army, and they were ready to meet the counterattack of the Qing army, they not only occupied the 177 Heights (Bazhangdong Mountain), but also included more than 20 nameless heights and peaks of all sizes around them, and there was a cover of the Chongyang Battalion in the rear of the west, with the help of favorable terrain, constituting a complete defense system.

If the Qing army launched a strong attack, these twenty or so mountains would be gnawed down one by one, and at least a few thousand casualties would be paid, but He Luohui was not worried. The Chu army's ability to defend the mountain is too strong, and the power of mortar cannons and flintlock pistols is too great, and this kind of combat method of short and long shots is certainly not the choice of him, a general of a hundred battles.

He Luo will take 20,000 troops to kill here, not to open up the grain road at all, so he did not plan to attack at the beginning, but prepared to surround the Ji'an camp and the Puqi camp in a roundabout way, and then come to a siege point to send reinforcements, so that the reinforcements of the Chu army can also taste the taste of being beaten and flattened by various hangings when attacking the mountain. The Han army flag also has a large number of red-coated cannons, tiger squat cannons and bird guns, although it is worse than mortar cannons and flintlock guns, but it can also be compared with gourd painting scoops, imitating the positional warfare tactics of the Chu army, Zhang Dayou's department brought dozens of large and small artillery, more than 1,000 bird guns, plus the green battalion soldiers also have some firearms, enough for the reinforcements of the Chu army to drink a pot.

After careful arrangement, He Luo would send Bashan to detour to the east side of Bazhangdong Mountain to prevent the Chu army from seizing the road and fleeing, while Fu Lehe led 5,000 Manmeng Eight Banners and 3,000 Green Battalion soldiers to launch a fierce attack from the junction of the Chongyang Battalion and the Ji'an Battalion on the west side to complete the division and encirclement, and he himself led the Chinese army to sit on the south side to cover the baggage troops and artillery, and act as a reserve.

Whether the entire campaign deployment can be completed depends on Fu Lehe on the west side, if the Ji'an battalion and the Puqi battalion can't resist and want to run, they are most likely to break through from the west side and move closer to the main force of the Chu army, so he sent Fu Lehe, the elite of the elite, and also equipped him with 3,000 green battalion cannon fodder, which is also the elite of cannon fodder.

"Although the general can rest assured, the last general is a warrior with two yellow flags and two white flags, and he will be able to fight a battle!" Fleur looked arrogant and confident. He is the second son of Azig, and the Eight Banners under his command are all elite soldiers transferred from the Shanxi front, in addition to hundreds of Bayala soldiers, there are also three generals with a class of Baturu, who belong to the three banners of Manchuria and the inlaid white flag, which is the most capable unit of the Eight Banners. (Dorgon once changed flags with Dorgon, the white flag became the inlaid white flag, and the inlaid white flag became the positive white flag, in short, both white flags were descendants of Dorgon's faction.) ）

"Thanks to the power of the Zhenguo Gong Tiger to defeat the enemy, Ben will be waiting here for good news." He Luohui's smile is kind and cute, he has a lot of respect for Fu Lehe, and he doesn't put on the shelf of a leading general at all, you must know that Fu Lehe is Nurhachi's own grandson, Azig's second son, and in a sense, he is the master of He Luohui, although he is still young, he can't be lazy.

"The last general is going, and before the time comes, I will ask the general to launch a feint attack from the south at the same time to help me!" Fu Lehe clenched his fists, then turned his horse's head and led the army away.

Azig's eldest son is called Aixin Jueluo and Du, and he hung up in the third year of Shunzhi, so Fu Lehe is equal to Azig's eldest son, and Azig also has high hopes for him, and let him lead the troops at a young age, and he is a famous young general in the Manchu clan.

Fu Lehe's ideal is to become a one-man general like Luck Dehun back then, inheriting the glory and bravery of the Aixin Jueluo family, he is only twenty-two years old this year, and he is still a small character in front of a veteran like He Luohui, but his fighting spirit and courage far exceed that of the other party, and he is extremely eager to make contributions in the Battle of Ningzhen.

This is also forced.

Although Fu Lehe is the de facto eldest son, Azig prefers his younger brother Lou Qin, and has already named him Beizi, but Fu Lehe is just a town prince, and if this development continues, Lou Qin will definitely inherit Azig's prince in the future. (To be continued......)
