Chapter 151: Qing soldiers from the south
[Tomorrow is the day of the recommendation, I don't know if I can wait for the background SMS/(ćoć)/~~]
In Xuzhou City, Chen Ming failed to completely annihilate the Henan Green Battalion, and Qin Guangyuan fled with at least 2,000 soldiers. Although this was paid for most of Fubiao and a battalion in Hebei Town, he kept at least half of his army.
Not to mention how hard Asiha was forced to get the news, and not to mention that Qin Guangyuan, who escaped from Xuzhou City, led the team all the way north, and the final destination was Xinzheng or Kaifeng, anyway, there was no threat to his attack along the way. In other words, the only enemy left to the east of the Chen Jiajun was Chen Hui's ancestral department.
Judging from the entire battle situation, Chen Jiajun has done a really good job in the past half a month, defeating the Shaanxi Green Battalion and the last Henan Green Battalion, and their current enemy is only the Qing soldiers in Anhui and the two troops in the south.
The green battalions of Hubei and Shaanxi [Xing'an Town] and Jingzhou led by Yongrui have entered the central part of Runing Mansion, and it is estimated that there are only one or two hundred miles left from Yuncheng. This is because they dragged cannons all the way, took a lot of detours to take advantage of the water conservancy, and most of Runing Province was in a state of anarchy, whether it was material collection or people's requisition, otherwise they would have been killed by the Sand River by now.
This should also be the biggest reason why Chen Huizu simply led his troops out of Yuncheng after receiving the defeat of Xuzhou. It only takes a few days for another large army of Qing troops with more than 10,000 troops to enter the battlefield, why should he fight the Chen family army under the city of Yuncheng?
There was also the battle in Nanyang Mansion, the attacking Qing army was mainly based on Hanzhong Town, supplemented by the fragmentary remnants of Nanyang Town and the local township brave militia group, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people. And Chen Jiajun only has two battalions there, Chen Wenzan and Lu Longbu, and Gao Jinghui's battalion is still in the process of rushing south, but it has only just entered Nanzhao, and it is still a small hundred miles away from Nanyang Mansion City.
The current situation is that although the Chen Jiajun has broken down two roads in a row in the multi-way encirclement and suppression of the armies of the four provinces, Chen Ming still needs to eradicate the two Qing troops from Runing and Chenzhou Mansion on the battlefield of Yuncheng, and then he can go to reinforce Nanyang Mansion. The Chen army, whose strength was far less than that of the Qing army and had to defend against the enemy, could only fall into this passive strategic situation. Fortunately, with the victory of the Battle of Xuzhou, Chen Erbao's battalion was liberated, and it was enough for Xiangxian County to have a battalion head in Huang'an to guard it.
When necessary, Chen Jiajun abandoned Nanyang Mansion City and retreated to Fangcheng, Chen Wenzan and Lu Longbu joined Gao Jinghui's battalion, and no matter how bad the three battalion leaders were, they could attack the Qing army.
The key is also whether the main force of the Chen family army led by Chen Ming can win another brilliant victory in the Yuncheng War.
Chen Jiajun's biggest problem at the moment is that he must win or not draw. As long as the battle situation is stalemate, Chen Ming's main force will be firmly restrained, and when the elite soldiers and strong generals transferred from all over the country by the Manchu Qing Dynasty gather one by one, this military stalemate will be broken sooner or later, and it will be Chen Jiajun who will be unlucky at that time. Just like the red army after the Battle of Guangchang, the defeat is irretrievable, and in order to preserve its strength, it is necessary to carry out a major strategic transfer, and the base areas and N more than one country must be discarded, and I don't know how big the loss will be.
It is also similar to the northern and southern camps of the Qing army during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Taiping army has the ability and strength, and has broken through the Jiangbei camp in Jiangnan several times, but the Chen family army is not the Taiping army at that time.
Because ah, no soldier of any army will not be tired of continuous battles, and his spirit will still be high-pitched and excited, unless he is inspired by one victory after another, and the spiritual power directly acts on the body. Otherwise, if there is a long-term confrontation, the morale and morale of the army will continue to decline. There are also reasons why many rebel armies are unable to recover the situation after a defeat.
The pressure on Chen Ming's body was still as heavy as a mountain. It is normal for others to win and lose wars, but now he must ensure that he can only win, not only is he not allowed to lose, but he is not even allowed to draw.
Yongrui has now arrived in Huanggang Town, Zhengyang County, and the vanguard of his department has also entered Runing Mansion City, Yuncheng is in front of him, but Yongrui, as the commander of the whole army, has no intention of being happy. Huguang Admiral Fuyong was the actual commander of the main force of the Qing army, and his face was gloomy and embarrassed.
In the past half a month, there has really been no good news. First of all, the Shaanxi Green Battalion was defeated in Linru Town, and Wang Tenglong imprisoned himself; Then the Henan Green Battalion was also defeated in Xuzhou, and half of the four or five thousand men and horses remained, and without a long time of repair, the remaining troops could not muster the courage to go to the battlefield again. And Ni Daliang, the chief soldier of Hanzhong Town, led more than 4,000 soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, and more than 1,000 Nanyang people bravely helped out, but 6,000 troops were unable to take Nanyang Mansion City.
Yongrui and Fuyong can actually only count on Ni Daliang now, only the Qing soldiers in Nanyang Mansion can make Chen Ming's Xiaorui have to divide his troops to rescue, but now Hanzhong Town is trapped outside Nanyang Mansion and has made no progress, what does this mean? This means that when they lead their troops north, they will face the main force of Chen Ming's army, which is not very numerous, but its combat effectiveness is off the charts.
Although at the earliest, or only half a month ago, Yongrui and Fuyong were not very impressed with the combat effectiveness of the Chen family. But with the collapse of the 8,000 Shaanxi Green Battalion outside Linru Town, they are two pigs and will no longer underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Chen Family's army.
The Chen family army is small in number and strong in combat. The best way to deal with such a team and force it to divide its forces is to do so.
The complete combat effectiveness of Chen Ming's team is 100, but he only has 4,000 people, and if his subordinates lose 1,000 people, the combat effectiveness of the entire army will drop not by a quarter, but by 30%, 40%, or even more.
At this time, Chen Ming led the team to Yuncheng, took the Yinghe River to transport the team to Changshe Town, and then took the land route to change the Yinghe River to the Shahe River. It seems that the distance has been stretched for most of the circle, but in fact it is not, Chen Jiajun only took three days to travel from Xuzhou to Yuncheng, and if you take the land route, the time is less than doubled.
In addition, he frightened some of the Qing soldiers stationed in Xihua and ran back to the capital city of Chenzhou.
ā¦ā¦
Compared with Xuzhou and the eastern part of Kaifeng Mansion, which are close at hand, Yuzhou, which is obviously closer, seems to be protected by God, and has not suffered the slightest attack by the Chen family army at all. Although on the surface, the security of Yuzhou is very similar to the fact that Chen Jiajun did not have time to invade.
Zong Weifeng was scolding at the Yuzhou Yamen at this time, and the militia organized by a group of ordinary people actually looked down on his dignified officials and soldiers? No matter how embarrassed the Lu battalion is, it is also the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and you Yuzhou militia are a fart???
"Fuck, do you really think you're smart and everyone else is stupid? Kaifeng Mansion is going to be stabbed in the eye, as long as they have the ability in Yuzhou, they can rely on four or five hundred militia groups to scare the Chen family thieves into not daring to enter? ā
Since the remnants of the Lu battalion arrived in Yuzhou, except for ten pigs and one hundred stone of grain, Zong Weifeng has not been able to deduct a grain of grain from the yamen, let alone the silver that restored the morale of the remnants of the Lu battalion. Zong Weifeng really wanted to tear his face directly with the Yuzhou Yamen. Now no one can see that the reason why Yuzhou can maintain 'tranquility' is completely the result of allowing Chen Jiajun to buy medicinal materials from Yuzhou. Do Yuzhou officials really think they are smart?
