Hanyang Mansion, in the hall, Chen Ming is the first, and on the left and right are Chen Qi and Chen Yongsheng. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chen Yongsheng's face was very ugly, and Ah Gui led the army to the south suddenly, which suddenly made the situation in Hubei delicate. This is an enemy that did not exist at the time of the previous plan. In the plan, when Chen Ming came to Hanyang, the vanguard led by Chen Yongsheng had already locked up the three passes of Yiyang. And now the Qing army in Henan is coming.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, Lian Yong from Hunan has already merged into Wuchang, which is another unexpected change, Gong Zhaolin came too quickly. Although the Fu Han army has now gained a foothold on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the artillery team crossing the river has completely suppressed Phoenix Mountain, the strength of the Qing army in the city has also increased from more than 10,000 to more than 20,000.

There is no need to mention any of this, the facts are already facts, and what the Fu Han Army is doing now is to face it.

When Chen Ming attacked Wuchang for the first time, he started from Phoenix Mountain, and now Chen Ming does not plan to conquer there.

When the Fu Han army attacked Wuchang for the first time, Fan Shishou, the governor of Hubei, recruited the people to dig an unknown number of ditches and deep trenches in a large area of land east of Phoenix Mountain, and the Fu Han army drove the people of Jingzhou to easily fill in a smooth road with soil bags. When the Qing army counterattacked Wuchang, those ditches also became the fortifications of the Han army, and now these trenches have all become the defensive line of the Qing army.

If you want to push the shield cart to fill the potholes and ditches little by little during the day, and fight Wuchang City in a hurry, it is estimated that this battle will be fought until the summer. It is not a good place to go at night, with the ditch of Phoenix Mountain and the advantage of the mountain. Now it is completely different from when Chen Ming first fought Wuchang. The pressure on Chen Ming's shoulders was even greater.

Fighting at night, even if the Fu Han army occupies the light, when attacking, the Qing army with a defensive advantage can also make the Fu Han army suffer some hardships first, and the place where the ditch is complex is even more difficult to fight, after all, it is inconvenient to command and transfer at night, and the 'terrain and terrain' is complicated, and the enemy is familiar with the geography more occupied. Chen Ming is preparing to start fighting from the southeast Hongshan, Hongshan also has a lot of ditches, but it is not as good as Phoenix Mountain, hit Hongshan and then hit Shuangfeng Mountain, and then the artillery can bombard Wuchang City. [Hongshan is in the southeast of Wuchang, in front of it is Shuangfeng Mountain, and then there is the big east gate and the small east gate, and that section of the city wall is exactly the southern end of the snake mountain]

"There are more than 20,000 troops in Ah Gui's hands, and with that horse team, the combat power is still very strong. If Ma Mingxun also intervened, north of the Yangtze River, there would be more than 40,000 Qing soldiers. There are also Fang Shijun and Shi Liang in Jiangnan, and the combat power of the Qing army will definitely reach more than 60,000 people. ”

"But these 60,000 people Ah Gui can't be pinched together. Shi Liang and Fang Shijun really rescued Wuchang Mansion, Ma Mingxun's team couldn't say for sure, the morale of the Sichuan army was low, and there was no need to be afraid when they came. Ma Mingxun came from the west, Xiaogan or Hanchuan, and if he wanted to threaten Hanyang, he had to pass through these two places;

Ah Gui's men and horses were killed from Henan, and if they wanted to threaten Hanyang, they also needed to cross Xiaogan.

Our army will allocate a part of its military strength to be deployed in Xiaogan and Hanchuan, equipped with artillery, if the Qing army wants to hit their head first, what if they fight a battle? ”

"The most important thing now is the battle of Wuchang. The progress during the day is too slow, and the situation has changed again, and we can't afford to waste time in Wuchang. Then fight at night. "What Chen Ming wants to do now is to fight at night, send a team to rush into the trench area of the Qing army in the dark, and fight with the Qing soldiers again and again. At any cost, the Qing soldiers were defeated. The morale of the last batch of recruits recruited in northern Jiangsu has returned to the level, and now is the time to sharpen them.

"The governor of Dadu, the Qing soldiers of Henan went south, all because the last general failed to take the three passes of Yiyang in time. The last general asked for an order to go north and compete with the Tartars in Xiaogan. ”

Chen Yongsheng's face changed again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and got up to beg. Chen Ming's eyes were also placed on him for the first time in today's meeting, and Chen Yongsheng took the initiative to ask for filial piety, which was equivalent to letting go of the credit of the Battle of Wuchang. Now he is still carrying the dispatch of the deputy commander-in-chief of the former army, the commander-in-chief is Chen Qi, and the troops on the other side of the river, as long as they fight bloody battles with the Qing army again and again at night at any cost, the high-ranking officers of the Fu Han army present do not think that the Qing army's training and courage can last long.

"That's good. You will rush to Xiaogan with the 1st Brigade, and the Governor of Pontus will give you another artillery battalion. ”

"Governor Xie." Chen Yongsheng received the order loudly. There was a resolute look on his face, but no one knew that his heart was empty at the moment. Ah Gui led the Henan Qing army south, and the Fu Han army did not block the three passes of Yiyang, whose fault is this? It must be Chen Yongsheng's.

But after Chen Ming arrived in Hanyang, he never punished him, or even reprimanded him. He only said the words 'Ci is not in charge of the soldiers'. Then Chen Yongsheng raised troops to defeat the Qing army in Hanyang overnight, and took Hanyang Mansion City the next day. Then the sailor battalion first swept away the water platoon set up by the Qing army on the river, etc., and then took the troops across the river, Chen Yongsheng was still the second general in the army after Chen Qi.

But Chen Yongsheng himself did not let go of his heart, he still remembered Huang Jie at the beginning, because the battle on the shore of Poyang Lake was not ideal, and then he was pressed by Chen Ming in the army, and the task of attacking Anqing was picked up by Gao Pingshan, who came later. So Gao Pingshan became the brigade commander of the Second Brigade in Anqing, and Huang Jie did not climb a grid until Yangzhou, and the number of the department could only be the Third Brigade.

Chen Ming's personality is not complicated, not harsh, not harsh, and not a perfectionist, just like the steady impression he gives people, he is very square and serious. Therefore, he just remembers some things very clearly, and basically can punish if he makes mistakes, and reward him for meritorious work.

The leadership of this kind of character is actually very good, compared to the kind of person who has a small book in his heart, and remembers everything for you, and when he spoils you, the big and small mistakes are not worth mentioning, and when he dislikes you, he suddenly reveals all of them. It's much easier to serve than that kind of leader. It's like if you hold it underwater for a minute a day, it's okay at all, and you remember it every day, and when you want to hold it underwater for 365 minutes in one breath during the Chinese New Year, then you will be reincarnated. I also want to pray that I can learn the turtle breath gong in the martial arts world in the next life......

Chen Yongsheng took the initiative to propose to go to Xiaogan this time, and he also had a tentative mind, if Chen Ming didn't take the matter of the three passes of Yiyang, as well as the files of the delay of the Huangpi and Hanyang offensives, it was very likely that his request would be directly rejected by Chen Ming this time. After all, it is the heaviest to fight Wuchang. But in fact, Chen Ming not only did not refuse, but also agreed, only a little slowly. What does this mean? This shows that Chen Ming has his 'mistakes' in mind.

The reason why there was no seizure was just to capture the premise of Wuchang. It should be that Chen Yongsheng has been the main general of the front army before, so it is not good to put him in the back all of a sudden. But now that Chen Yongsheng took the initiative to propose to go to Xiaogan, Chen Ming also pushed the boat along the river.

The military conference was quickly over. Because there is nothing to focus on, there are only three points: first, the Qing army outside is very powerful, but it is not terrible, because they can't make five fingers into a fist; Second, Xiaogan and Hanchuan should be guarded, and this is enough; Third, the strategy of fighting Wuchang should be changed, as in the previous battle against Hanyang, it was very hard to fight at night, and the army should take Wuchang City as soon as possible, and it shook the momentum.

No one thinks that sending Chen Yongsheng to Xiaogan to defend the Qing army is to be demoted, he is still the brigade commander of the first brigade, and the governor of the capital specially allocated him an extra battalion of artillery, how can this be regarded as being degraded? Chen Yongsheng himself said that the Henan Qing army went south to threaten the back of the army, and he was blamed for failing to win the three passes of Yiyang in time, and he made up for the basket he made himself, what kind of derogatory punishment is this?

In the afternoon of the same day, countless ships went back and forth on the water surface of the Yangtze River on the eastern side of Wuchang, and batches of ammunition were sent to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and groups of fresh troops were sent to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and a team was also sent back to the north of the Yangtze River from the south of the Yangtze River.

Aligon did not feel the change in the Fu Han army, except that the shelling in the afternoon was somewhat reduced.

Gong Zhaolin led tens of thousands of Hunan people to arrive in Wuchang City, so that the strength of Aligon's troops expanded to more than 20,000 people, and this afternoon Jiangbei also sent a secret report, A Gui has led a part of Henan's army south to Xinyang, and will soon pass Wusheng Pass and enter Hubei.

Tens of thousands of troops suddenly rushed out of Henan, Chen Ming didn't know if the Qing army led by A Gui could keep up with the heavy supplies, grain and military supplies, more than 20,000 troops and more than 20,000 people are completely two concepts. But in any case, the Hanyang Prefecture area north of De'an and Xiaogan is still under the world of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and grain can still be supplied in the short term. Or as long as Ah Gui has silver in his hand, he can mobilize all the needs of the army other than arms to the greatest extent in De'an. As long as he has money in his hand, or the government of De'an, with empty mouth and white teeth, can still get enough goods from the local big families.

Anlu Mansion City Zhongxiang, on the lobby of the mansion.

Sichuan Admiral Ma Mingxun knelt on the ground, and the sweat drops of beans were dripping on the stone slab below, leaving one round watermark after another. In front of him was a yellow jacket dressed as a second-class guard, who was asking him a word on behalf of Gui. The guard's voice was unhurried, but it was like a knife, peeling away the layers of careful thinking in Ma Mingxun's heart.

Why didn't Ma Mingxun listen to Aligon's orders, and why did he retreat to Xiaogan without authorization after the defeat of Huangpi? And then fled all the way to Anlu Mansion? Isn't it just that you don't want to fight to the death with the Fu Han army? I also feel that the Sichuan army has worked hard.

From last year to this year, the Sichuan army has been fighting in Sichuan and guest provinces in batches, and there has been no news of their hometown for a long time, their morale is low, and the army has no fighting spirit, which is understandable. But Ah Gui asked Ma Mingxun, what did he want to do if he obeyed the will of the army, avoided war, and was cowardly? Invite to buy the heart of the army?

Ma Mingxun knows very well what is the next sentence of inviting the military heart? He knelt on the ground, and at this moment he was really scared.

Ma Mingxun didn't have the heart to be a warlord, he did feel that he was conforming to the will of the army before, and he was not afraid of the court asking him for it. Because this is based on the hard work of the Sichuan army in the Hubei battlefield for more than a year. Besides, in the battle of Huangpi, whether it was Ali Gon or Zhu Jue, they all sat back and watched the Sichuan army fight hard alone, holding heavy troops but reluctant to send them out, Ma Mingxun held a fire in his heart. So he ran away, not to Hanyang Fucheng, but to Xiaogan. He felt that he had run away with his troops, and if Aligon dared to stab the matter in front of the emperor, he would be able to say one, two, three, four, five. This one is by no means out of an invitation to buy a military heart, he has served in Sichuan for a long time, but he just doesn't want to see his Sichuan soldiers die in a foreign land in vain, and he has no intention of inviting a military heart. But now think about it......

Since Ma Mingxun, the twenty or thirty officers behind him have all been officers of the Sichuan Army, and at this time, they also knelt on the ground obediently one by one, and they didn't dare to tuckle. It's completely different from when he scolded Aligon and Zhu Jue at the beginning.

"Lord Zhongtang has an order, Ma Junmen quickly reorganized the Sichuan army, and the whole army attacked, and attacked Hanyang Chen Shun along the Han River." (To be continued.) )
