Moling Pass was lost, and the news soon spread to Danyang County.

In Wang Kefan's Chinese army tent, after the scouts finished reporting, an excited cheer suddenly sounded in the tent, and all the generals smiled and high-fived each other to celebrate.

"Everyone, Ma Guozhu and Zhang Tianlu have finally taken the bait!" Wang Kefan said with a smile: "Not only did they take the bait, but also bite strongly, Zhang Tianlu captured Moling Pass, trying to cut off our grain route, which is the most beneficial result for us." ”

"Yes, Zhang Tianlu, a fool, since he is here, don't think about escaping back to Nanjing!" Wang Jincai said: "Wang Junmen, let the Pingjiang battalion send troops from Dangtu now, I promise to take back the three mountains by the river and block the retreat of Zhang Tianlu and Liu Hongyu!" ”

The first part of the Pingjiang battalion was stationed in the Dangtu area, in order to lure Zhang Tianlu into the mountainous area of Ningzhen, he took the initiative to evacuate the three mountains by the river, and now that he has arrived at Moling Pass, he can surround the three mountains by the river, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"Don't worry, let them be proud for a few more days."

Wang Kefan pointed to the map and said: "As you all know, when we first entered Nanzhili, we didn't prepare to come to Yingtianfu, but just planned to kill all the way from Ningguo Mansion to Jiangnan, put a fire in the backyard of the Tartars, and then try to withdraw to Jiangxi...... But after Bu Congshan suddenly reversed, we fought all the way to Yingtianfu, and even stepped into the territory of Zhenjiang Mansion, and now the plan is about to change. ”

At this time, there was no need to keep it secret, and Wang Kefan finally announced the next battle plan to everyone.

"As the saying goes, kill people and set fires. Of course, killing people is worse than setting fires, and if we can wipe out the main force of the Tartars between Jiangning Mansion and Zhenjiang Mansion, the whole Jiangnan will be lit with a fire. We don't even have to do it...... Nanjing is the center of the south of the Yangtze River, next to Zhenjiang Mansion, across the Yangtze River is Yangzhou and Huai'an, are rich in the world's place, but we all the way to the city of Nanjing, the nearest is less than thirty miles from the city of Nanjing, the Tartars have panicked. Pounced on us from all directions, desperately fighting for us, a lump to the east. A lump on the west side is just for us to eat in one bite. ”

He paused, and then said to Wang Jincai: "This is a rare fighter, just staring at Zhang Tianlu and Liu Hongyu, the two skinny chickens. Your appetite is still too small! Let's do a big job, lead Zhu Mala, Mu Lima, Hu Maozhen, Wang Wenkui, these Tartars to the mountains of Ningzhen, and eat them all one by one, if Zierharang comes fast enough, we can't let him go! ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Kefan's appetite was so big, and the generals were excited, but they couldn't believe it, Cao Zhijian asked: "We only have 30,000 horses, if the Tartars come too much at once." I'm afraid I can't handle it, right? ”

"Yes, to the east of Moling Pass, we only have 30,000 horses. But don't forget. There are more than 10,000 people in Dangtu and Wuhu, and there are 5,000 people in Dongzhi County and Dongliu County, if necessary, you can also transfer troops from Jiangxi, and the Chongyang battalion is east of Pengze, and you can rush to Dangtu within three days. If you want to eat Zhang Tianlu and Liu Hongyu, you can eat it at any time. Don't rush it. ”

Wang Kefan picked up the cup and took a sip of water: "What we have to do is to continue to show weakness to the enemy and lure the Tartars to attack." And this play must be played like it, Moling Pass is going to be feint and attacking, Nanjing City is also going to fight, Changzhou Mansion in the east, Zhenjiang Mansion in the north, now they have to attack from all sides, and they are fighting everywhere, so that the Tartars can't figure out our intentions, whether it is to break through the siege or raise food, let Ma Guozhu and Zhang Tianlu guess...... Remember, the feint attack of Moling Pass here is the most important, it must be fierce, it must be fierce, it must be fierce, it must be desperate to break through, give Zhang Tianlu enough pressure, and when he can't stand it, other Tartar reinforcements will surround him to help, and he will be trapped in the mountains of Ningzhen by us, and then eaten one by one. ”

The amount of information in these words was so great that some of the generals understood seven or eight points, and some understood five or six points, but none of them fully understood it...... Is it really going to be a decisive battle in the mountains of Ningzhen? This place is not a suitable battlefield!

Wang Jincai and Cao Zhijian glanced at each other and asked this question together, and Wang Kefan nodded to them with a smile.

"You are right, according to the previous reasoning, the mountains of Ningzhen are not a suitable battlefield, but our Chu army is different. The main battle weapon of the Chu army is the flint gun, and it has carried out targeted training, it can completely fight in the hilly and low mountain areas, and there is no need to fight in formation like the Qing army. ”

When Wang Kefan said this, he suddenly smiled at Wang Jincai: "You asked me a few days ago what those strange things from the firearms business do, I can tell you now, that is the secret weapon prepared for the Tartars, let them try it!" ”

Wang Jincai's eyes lit up: "Oh! I see, those weird things are special tools for this kind of terrain, aren't they? ”

"Not bad!" Wang Kefan nodded: "If we fight on the plains, we may not be the opponent of the Eight Banners Cavalry, but in the hilly and mountainous areas, it is our world." In the art of war, it is said that 'ten rules are encircled', but in this special place, we can encircle it with five, surround it with three, or even surround it with less hardship...... The reinforcements from all walks of life from the Tartars rushed up at once, and we just took it all, with a Zhang Tianlu in our mouth, a Hu Maozhen in a bowl, and a Zhu Mala in our chopsticks, and our eyes were still looking at Mulima......"

According to Wang Kefan's plan, the Chu army began to attack from all sides.

The Gongyi battalion went north from Danyang County to attack the suburbs near Zhenjiang, and was only 30 miles away from the Yangtze River at the nearest time, which greatly surprised the Qing army, not only the Qing army in Zhenjiang was like facing a great enemy, but even Yangzhou and Taixing in the north of the Yangtze River were closed with four gates closed and were under emergency martial law.

The Changsha battalion went east from Jintan County, drew an arc-shaped march route on the map, and suddenly turned north forty miles before the Changzhou capital city, and the Gongyi battalion turned around in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

After receiving Yixing's request for help, Zhu Mala rushed for 200 miles in one day and one night, and rushed to Wuxi with all his might, but the Pingjiang battalion suddenly withdrew from Yixing City.

Jurong's Chu army attacked Nanjing, Lishui's Chu army moved south to Gaochun, and all the Chu army units attacked outward, as if they were going to disperse and break through from the mountains of Ningzhen.

The place where the battle was fiercest was still Moling Pass.

Although the Chu army's attack on Moling Pass was a feint, it was not conveyed to the middle and grassroots officers, and ordinary soldiers were even more unaware...... Over the years, under the constraints of strict discipline, the execution of the middle and grass-roots officers and ordinary soldiers of the Chu army has become stronger and stronger, and the commander will fight wherever he directs, and other irrelevant matters are not considered at all, so the attack is extremely fierce, and the officers commanding the operation secretly suppress it, so that Zhang Tianlu is not defeated all at once.
