The generals were divided into two factions, most of whom were in favor of advanced Ganzhou, and Guo Weijing, who was among the civil officials, also supported them.

Guo Weijing was in charge of logistics and knew that the Ming army's grain and grass were running out, although the Ming army's water division controlled Zhangjiang, but because the lone army was deep and the supply line was too long, the grain and grass materials that could be transported from the rear were very limited, which was not enough to support a large-scale battle.

Shi Lang and others resolutely opposed this plan.

Ganzhou is in the center of the encirclement of the Qing army, and if the 40,000 Ming troops enter Ganzhou, it will be conducive to the Qing army to give full play to its military advantages, which is equivalent to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth.

The Ming army entered Ganzhou to rest, and it would be delayed for several days before and after, and Jin Shenghuan's main force would take the opportunity to arrive and surround the Ming army in the city of Ganzhou.

There were not many people who supported Shi Lang, and only the Yunnan generals Zhao Yinxuan and Liang Zhiren of Guangdong, who both proceeded from military common sense, came to this conclusion -- the Ming army was weak against strong, and the fighters were fleeting, and Wang Deren was easily defeated, and even if they took some risks, they had to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and only by turning the temporary advantage into victory could they truly win the battle of Ganzhou.

If you hide in Ganzhou, it will be tantamount to giving up the initiative, giving up the results of the golden town of annihilating 4,000 enemies, and giving up the local favorable situation, and the entire Ganzhou campaign has been strategically defeated.

"If His Majesty is trapped in Ganzhou, the Qing troops from Fujian and Nanjing will come to attack, what will happen then?" Shi Lang was very dissatisfied.

These people are too conservative, Emperor Longwu is here to relieve the siege of Ganzhou, he must find an opportunity to defeat Jin Shenghuan, and hide in Ganzhou before the decisive battle, and he will definitely be more passive in the future.

The 40,000 Ming army drilled into Ganzhou, it was safe for the time being, but it was more dangerous in the long run, Emperor Longwu's group mocking skills were too strong, and he was trapped in Ganzhou, Bolo, Fujian. Hong Chengchou in Nanjing will send reinforcements, and there are more and more enemies, how can this battle be fought?

"What General Shi said is not bad, but Wang Zamao has retracted the Zhangjiang camp, and we won't be able to take it down for a while!" Tong Yizhen's perspective is different.

The Ming army only had a local advantage, but Jin Shenghuan's main force would arrive in two or three days at most, and Wang Deren was also drawing reinforcements from other strongholds, and if Wang Deren dragged it, the Ming army was in danger of being wiped out.

If you want to win this battle, you have to eliminate Wang Deren within two days. How is this possible?!

Wang Deren had 20,000 horses, and his combat effectiveness was generally higher than that of the Ming army, even if he confronted the Ming army head-on, the outcome was unknown, and he retreated in the camp to defend. Not to mention two days, twenty days may not be able to destroy him.

"Then you'll have to give it a try! I really can't take Wang Deren. It's not too late for us to enter Ganzhou City again. With my sailor here, I can withdraw at any time......" Shi Lang is very confident in the sailor, his plan is to fight first and then say, as long as the sailor controls the Zhangjiang River, the Ming army can jump around on both sides of the Zhangjiang River at any time, not afraid of the Qing army's encirclement.

"I'm afraid not. The Tartar sailors are assembling, in case General Shi is entangled by the Tartar sailors, how can these 40,000 horses cross the river? Tong Yizhen shook his head again and again, if the Qing army sailors came to attack. The Ming army's sailors had to meet the enemy, and if there were ships to ferry or build pontoon bridges, the 40,000 troops could not cross the river, and they would fall into the death of a battle against the water.

It's so adventurous!

"Hey! What do you mean by this, can't you believe me? Hundreds of boats of the Zhangjiang Sailor of the Tartars, it is not for me to serve it in one pot! Shi Lang felt that he was underestimated, if it weren't for the presence of Emperor Longwu, he would have turned his face with Tong Yizhen.

"General Shi, don't be angry, General Tong is also well-intentioned, the Tartar sailors are not good, I heard that more than 600 warships have been mobilized......" Guo Wei came out and diluted the mud, but the meaning of his words was still inclined to enter Ganzhou.

According to the information sent by the scouts, in order to defeat the Ming army's sailors, Jin Shenghuan transferred several nearby Qing army sailors to Ganzhou, with more than 600 large and small warships, as well as many large warships, which were much stronger than the Zhangjiang sailors, and the Ming army's sailors were not necessarily their opponents.

"Da Sima, please be relieved, the last general is only afraid that he will come less, not afraid that he will come more, and if he destroys these more than 600 warships, he can relieve the siege of Ganzhou......" Shi Lang excitedly offered his plan.

(Da Sima, originally an official position in the Zhou Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, was an elegant name for the Shangshu of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, and it was taken from that ancient meaning.) ）

Ganzhou is surrounded by water on three sides, if you can annihilate the Qing army's water division, you can achieve the victory of the Ganzhou campaign, according to Shi Lang's plan, the Ming army attacked Wang Deren's camp by land and water, attracted the main force of the Qing army to rescue, and then fought a decisive battle with the Qing army's water division...... Shi Lang wanted to make meritorious contributions, wanted to be the protagonist of the Battle of Ganzhou, and wanted the whole army to arrange the battle plan around his naval division.

The generals were silent.

This plan may succeed, but the chips of victory and defeat are all bet on Shi Lang, which is too risky.

If the naval division loses, needless to say, everyone will end up together, even if the naval division wins, the greatest credit is still Shi Lang, and the infantry of the Ming army will still face the encirclement of the Qing army, and it is likely to be wiped out.

"Fuck it, you want to put Lao Tzu on your back, it's impossible!" Zhao Yinxuan muttered in his heart, ready to change his position and support entering Ganzhou.

"This guy is too ruthless to work with!" Liang Zhiren was also weak in his heart, although Shi Lang was full of words, he didn't consider the retreat of the infantry at all, in other words, the tens of thousands of infantry of the Ming army were his foils, even bait, and could be sacrificed at any time.

"Arrogance!" Guo Weijing's heart was also very annoyed, it was still a trivial matter to be dismissed by Shi Lang, the key was that he only thought about the meritorious service of the sailor, and he didn't consider the safety of his allies at all, not even the safety of Emperor Longwu.

Suddenly the scene was cold, Shi Lang didn't notice, he was still explaining his plan with great interest, although he had a certain amount of selfishness, but he firmly believed that the decisive battle of the sailors was the only feasible plan, the only chance for the Ming army to win, and the infantry of the Ming army should be sacrificed as a matter of course.

"Elder Fu Ge, what do you mean?" Guo Weijing suddenly opened his mouth and asked Fu Guan's opinion, and by the way, he also interrupted Shi Lang, who was gushing endlessly.

"Ah, the saint has already arranged this matter, and the old man doesn't know about the military, so he won't be ugly." Fu Guan smiled faintly, the old man's style was very full.

Everyone looked at Emperor Longwu together, and there was no result in such a fight, so let the emperor be the referee.

"What you Aiqing said is reasonable, and I am also very embarrassed, so let's listen to what General Wang has to say first." In such a complicated military discussion, Emperor Longwu was really not good at it, so he had to give up the opportunity to be in the limelight and put Wang Kefan out.

Everyone was stunned, Wang Kefan can fight, everyone has to admit it, but let him judge everyone's opinions, which is equivalent to making decisions on behalf of the emperor, which is a bit unacceptable -- this is a major matter related to the fate of tens of thousands of people in the whole army, if Wang Kefan's plan is problematic, even if he offends the emperor, he must desperately oppose it.

"Everyone, I have another set of plans...... As soon as Wang Kefan spoke, several people showed disapproving expressions, the battle situation in Ganzhou has been discussed many times, and there are only a few options to choose from, what tricks can Wang Kefan come up with.

But with his explanation, the generals' eyes gradually widened.

While explaining, Wang Kefan drew a schematic diagram on a simple map with a charcoal pen, and from time to time someone asked questions, he patiently answered, and a set of bold and sharp combat plans was presented in front of everyone.

"General Wang, your tactics are good, but the Gongyi Battalion is responsible for the heavy responsibility, I feel ashamed!" Tong Yizhen first expressed his support, he originally had the greatest opinion on the Gongyi Battalion, but after seeing this plan, he understood why the Gongyi Battalion wanted to preserve its strength.

"General Wang, my plan is too risky, it's better to do it with you!" Shi Lang had to be convinced, and in Wang Kefan's plan, the sailor was also a key player, and he also had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The other generals also agreed, and Emperor Longwu discussed a few words with Guo Weijing and Fu Guan, and made a final battle plan......

……

The next morning, in addition to the Gongyi battalion, the main force of the Ming army left the golden town and launched an attack on the Qing army camp in the northeast.

The choice of this attack site is very tricky, only a dozen miles away from Wang Deren's main force, the Ming army relied on the advantage of troops, and gained a foothold on the opposite bank of Ganzhou City, and then built a village and camped, opening a posture of a decisive battle with Wang Deren.

But in reality, it's just a feint!

The Ming army took a feint attack on Wang Deren, fought steadily, step by step, and built several strong camps one after another, and the Ming army in the city of Ganzhou was also ready for a long time, and with the cooperation of the Ming army's naval division, suddenly sent troops to seize the other side of the Zhangjiang River, and also built a camp and sent troops to garrison.

After controlling both sides of the Zhang River, the Ming army built a pontoon bridge on the river!

This was the retreat of the Ming army, Shi Lang's sailors were responsible for protecting this pontoon bridge, and before the Gongyi battalion completed its mission, the Ming army had to stick to the opposite bank of the Zhangjiang River to attract Jin Shenghuan's main force.

After Emperor Longwu was disguised, he was secretly sent into Ganzhou City, but his banner remained on the other side of the Zhangjiang River, except for a few high-ranking generals, the Ming army thought that the emperor was still in the army.

Emperor Longwu himself was not willing to hide in Ganzhou, but at the repeated insistence of all the ministers, he could only be forced to give in. This is just in case, leaving him on the other side of the Zhangjiang River is too dangerous, and having the emperor's banner is enough to confuse the Qing army.

All this qiē is to cover the Gongyi battalion.

After the Gongyi battalion left the golden town, it marched northward and set up a standard pincer offensive against the Qing army's camp.

At this time, the Gongyi battalion suddenly accelerated its march and continued northward, heading straight to Pizhen, sixty miles away.

Pizhen, is the nearest large wharf to Ganzhou, is the distribution center of the Qing army's Ganjiang supply line, there are large warehouses of the Qing army, storing grain and grass materials for attacking Ganzhou.

Cattle knife tactics, to stab the enemy's vital point with a knife!

Pi Zhen is the key point of the Qing army!

Gongyi Camp is a sharp knife for slaughtering cattle! (To be continued......)
