Chapter 1012: Dead Heart



This time, the pent-up resentment in Sun Yuan's heart was completely attacked. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: щ.

It is undeniable that Shi Kefa's character is very good. It's a pity that his military talent is really not very good. One commander is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted. Judging from the two military operations he took across the river to supervise the division, it was really a mess.

Sun Yuan felt that there was no need to waste time with Shi Kefa here, and Shi Ge Lao couldn't count on this battle, so he could only rely on himself and rely on the Ningxiang army to fight.

After returning to the old camp in Wanshou Town, Sun Yuan thought about it

。 It is now the beginning of April, and after Duoduo takes Xuyi, he has to 'spend' some time to digest the results of the battle, organize the team, and according to his attack speed, he can advance to Yangzhou City in ten days at most.

According to the real history, Yangzhou City was simply vulnerable under the bombardment of the Qing army's red-coated artillery, and it fell in only one day.

The advance of the Great Army is not like a rapid march of light cavalry, and with the marching speed of the field army in this era, the 'elite' troops will only travel twenty miles a day. Because in the process of marching, the troops need to line up the array, and they need to send scouts to lay down a tight reconnaissance network. After walking for half a day, you have to choose a suitable place to set up camp and arrange the realm before dark. Otherwise, as soon as night falls, if everything is not prepared and the enemy makes a sneak attack, you will be immediately routed even if you have more soldiers and horses.

It has been raining heavily for many days, the roads have turned into mud, and the speed of the Qing army will be even slower.

Therefore, Duoduo could not arrive for a while.

For example, Shi Kefa heard that the Xuyi defenders had surrendered to the enemy, and fled back to Yangzhou from Sizhou in one day and one night, which created a miracle in the military history of the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, the troops still have about ten days to prepare.

After Sun Yuan returned to Wanshou Town, he immediately asked the men and horses of the Golden Eagle Battalion to hurry up and rest, and tomorrow they would go to Taizhou to join the main force of the army, preparing for an unprecedented battle.

On the second day, there was news in Yangzhou that Shi Kefa had ordered the Ming troops near Yangzhou to shrink into the city and prepare to hold on.

Sun Yuan was speechless for a while, defending the city is not this kind of law-abiding, he has never heard of shrinking all his troops into the city, isn't it convenient for the enemy to kill them all?

Moreover, the troops were surrounded by the enemy, undoubtedly locking themselves in boxes, completely giving up the possibility of counterattack.

Normal city defense operations should send troops to defend several satellite cities near Yangzhou, set up hard villages, and echo each other. When the enemy is attacking the city, it can also be harassed and contained from the side.

Therefore, in any battle of attacking and defending the city, the attacking side will patiently send a large army to uproot the enemy's strongholds not only outside the city little by little before launching a general attack.

Once these satellite cities, forts, and fortresses are cleared, the war is half won

。 Just like taking the momentum in Go, the big picture is complete, no matter how high the enemy's official skills are, if they are taken on the spot, they can't turn over any 'waves' and 'flowers'.

"Shi Xianzhi is tying his hands and feet and waiting for others to fight!" Sun Yuan shook his head, but that's fine. Shi Kefa's goal was so eye-catching, it just attracted Duoduo's main force to Yangzhou City, so that the Ningxiang army could outflank him.

But the problem is that Shi Kefa has to withstand the enemy's attack, if Yangzhou only resists for one day and then falls, as in history, this battle will not have to be fought.

There are two key points in the problem, one is Gao Jie.

Yes, Gao Jie's Qin army is currently the most capable army in Yangzhou, even if he suffered heavy losses in Henan, but compared to the Sichuan army, the Gansu army, and the Zhongguan battalion, the camel is bigger than the horse. candy floss

As long as his troops were firmly nailed to Guazhou, they would be able to attack at the right time, so that Duoduo could not attack the city with all his might.

Afraid, Gao Jie got Shi Kefa's order to drive his troops into the city and hide in a turtle shell.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuan was shocked, and decided not to go to Taizhou first, before leaving Yangzhou, he had to meet with Gao Jie no matter what, and tell his plan together.

Sun Yuan beat a drum in his heart, for fear that he would be late.

Along the way, the people and the army were all over the place, like ants before the rain, dragging out one long black line after another and rushing towards the city of Yangzhou.

The news that Jiannu had taken Sizhou and was heading towards Yangzhou had already spread, and among the people outside Yangzhou, the rich and noble families had already fled to Nanjing. If you can't go, you can only hide in the city and resign yourself to fate.

Guazhou is about 30 miles away from Yangzhou City, which was originally a Shazhou on the Yangtze River, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, because the sediment was accumulated year by year, it was connected with the north bank. This place is only separated by a river from the Zhenjiang River in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is a large wharf, if it falls, the enemy can easily kill Nanjing by boat, the geographical location is important, and it is a place where soldiers must fight.

When he arrived at Gao Jie's old camp in Guazhou, Sun Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but saw that the camp was neat and solemn, and the soldiers did not move into Yangzhou.

Gao Jie is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he has been 'mixed' on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he still has basic military knowledge.

It's just that he doesn't seem to accept Sun Yuan's affection, and he is very cold when he meets: "The Marquis of Yingchuan came to me at noon, is he worried that he will give up Guazhou and bring troops into the city?" ”

Sun Yuan only talked about business with him, and he didn't care about 'private' and 'friendship', and it was simple to start 'communicating': "That's what I'm worried about."

。 ”

Gao Jie said coldly: "It's going to be an unprecedented battle soon, when I was in Henan, I promised the Marquis of Yingchuan, and you will be the only one in the future." The stakes are so high that I'm about to send someone to ask for your opinion. But I didn't want to, Yingchuan Hou came over in person. ”

Sun Yuan: "My opinion is that the Qin army can't move, and it still stays in Guazhou, and Yangzhou is a rivalry." ”

"The Momentum of the Horns...... Hehe, I'm afraid that only my Qin army will rescue Yangzhou at that time. Once I am attacked by the enemy here, I am afraid that there will not be a single soldier to help in Yangzhou. Gao Jie laughed strangely: "However, I didn't count on them either. ”

After speaking, Gao Jie asked Sun Yuan what the arrangement was.

Sun Yuan replied that he used Yangzhou as a 'lure' bait to attract Duoduo's main forces to the city. At that time, the Ningxiang army was launched from the northeast and outflanked from behind, so it was necessary to keep all the horses of Duoduo here to cut off this great disaster for the Ming Dynasty. The defenders of Yangzhou City are weak in combat effectiveness, and the hearts of the army and the people in the city are 'mixed' and 'chaotic', and I am afraid that they will not be able to hold it for a few days. Therefore, this side of Gua Chau is the key.

Gao Jie nodded: "They are all veterans, how to fight this battle, a certain is naturally clear, Yingchuan Hou don't have to worry." ”

"I'm still a little worried, Eigo, Duoduo isn't stupid. Before attacking Yangzhou, I will definitely send the main force to pull out the old camp in Guazhou, I hope you can hold on and hold on until the moment when the main force of our Ningxiang Army arrives. ”

Gao Jie became impatient: "Yingchuan Marquis, what you said you were doing, I know what you are doing. A certain has already begun to ask someone to repair the walled city, no matter how strong Jiannu is, if he wants to take down my old camp, he must also let him break two 'door' teeth. ”

"Oh, then I have nothing to worry about." Sun Yuan looked at Gao Jie's old camp, and the various defensive settings were also decent.

Gao Jie: "But Yingchuan Hou, you have to be more careful, as far as I know, Shandong Zhun Tower has entered northern Jiangsu." Liu Zeqing, that idiot, I'm afraid I can't hold it, don't come to you behind the tower and wrap your dumplings. ”

Gao Jie's words touched on another key point of Sun Yuan, if Zhun Ta takes Huai'an and goes all the way south, not to mention outflanking his main force behind his back, he will go all the way south and go directly to Nantong on the edge of the Yangtze River, copying his own nest, which is unbearable

Although Sun Yuan left a back hand in this matter, he asked Hao Xiaoren to rush to Huai'an with Liu 'Chun' to seize power. But the plan can't keep up with the changes, and no one knows how this is going or whether it will go smoothly or not. If there is a 'wave' over there, the matter will be serious.

Now, the two are already halfway there, and Sun Yuan can't do anything, so he can only resign himself to fate.

Sun Yuan smiled faintly and said: "Thank you Xingpingbo for caring about a certain proposition, and I am 100% sure of winning this battle and holding Yangzhou." Yangzhou is the foundation of a certain one, and Ning Xiangjun has no choice but to fight hard. However, Sun Yuan was a little worried, worried that Xingpingbo would not be able to cut Shi Shoufu's affection, give up Guazhou, and go to Yangzhou City. ”

Gao Jie interrupted Sun Yuan's words: "Don't worry, what Gao promised you will definitely be done, and Heavenly King Laozi can't mobilize my Qin army." ”

"In this way, so-and-so is relieved."

When Sun Yuan said goodbye and left, a black and strong 'woman' walked out from behind, it was Gao Jie's wife Xing: "Xianggong, if you really don't enter Yangzhou, how can Shi Shoufu 'hand' the generation?" ”

"Doesn't the lady still understand, now entering Yangzhou is a dead end, really Kong Youde and their red-clothed cannon are vegetarians. A certain thief has been fighting for so many years, and has suffered a lot of losses under the artillery of the thief army, and I heard that the red-coated cannon is extremely sharp, and when the cannon goes down, no matter how high and thick the city wall is, it will immediately collapse. Gao Jie said again: "Isn't it passive to get into that turtle shell and be surrounded by people in the middle?" Our Qin army is a field army, and it really can't defend the city. ”

Xing nodded: "Xianggong's words have some truth, he is really surrounded by people, and he can't withdraw if he wants to." It's really better to stay in Guazhou, once the battle situation is out of control, you can cross the river immediately by boat, and Jiannu can't catch up. ”

Gao Jie: "Since I have promised Sun Taichu to defend Guazhou, I will not escape." It's really so good that if you withdraw to Jiangnan, in addition to the big defeat, how many people and horses can be withdrawn, it is difficult to leave the soldiers behind. It's really a woman's opinion. ”

It was the first time Gao Jie said such heavy words in front of his wife, and Xing's face changed. After a long time, he said quietly: "Is the Xianggong still angry about the concubine's abandonment of Xuzhou?" “

Gao Jie let out a rare sigh and held Xing's hand: "The matter has come to this, what are you going to do with this." Lady, you don't have to blame yourself, you and the child are safe, it's better than anything else. ”

Xing's heart was a little sad, and his eyes were red: "Since Xianggong refuses to enter the city, it is difficult for the Shi Pavilion Department to reply." ”

"The Cabinet Department, the Cabinet Department, hehe

。 Gao Jie became anxious in his heart, and sneered: "This is a person with great ambitions and talents, and he disappoints a certain good student, so the lady looks down on him." This person has a good character, but so what, the words in his mouth are good, but they are of no practical use. It's that Sun Taichu, who has a poor character, but once he can use you, no benefit will be left behind you, he is true to his word, and he can win the battle. We are all people who have survived in the 'chaotic' world, how to choose, lady, you know better than me. I'd rather 'deal' with a real villain like Sun Yuan, at least I'm happy. Also, we respect the Shi Cabinet Department, but the problem is that people only treat us as lowly martial artists. I don't want my hot face to stick to his cold ass. ”

Xing lowered his head: "Xianggong is resentful of the concubine's self-assertion that the child worships the Shi Pavilion as his father-in-law. ”

Gao Jie squeezed his wife's hand: "I blame the heavens and the earth, how can I blame you." It's the child who is not blessed, and he can't complain about others. That being said, there was a clear glint of anger in his eyes.

Here's the thing, when Mrs. Xing fled south from Xuzhou with her son, she had already planned for the worst in her heart. The husband is still trapped in Henan, the main force of the Qin army has collapsed, the news has been cut off, the battlefield has no eyes, if Gao Jie has three long and two short, and his son is still young, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress the generals in the army.

I also heard that Shi Kefa had no children, so Mrs. Xing planned to let her son worship him as his father-in-law.

Mrs. Xing has always revered Shi Kefa and has a good impression.

In addition, Shi Kefa also intends to encircle the Qin army, which is said to be a beautiful thing. If this happens, the Qin army will completely fall to Shi Kefa and become the descendant military force of Donglin like Zuoliang's 'jade' department.

In this way, Donglin's power will inevitably grow again.

In her opinion, Shi Kefa would gladly allow it.

But he didn't want to, but Shi Kefa resolutely refused because Gao was born as a "thief", and ordered Gao Jie'er to worship Gao Jin, the younger brother of Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the Admiral Jingying, as his father-in-law, and said, Gao Jin's surname is Gao, and now Gao Jie's son doesn't even need to change his surname.

Gao Jin was very depressed after his brother Gao Qiqian died, and he was arrested by Liu Zeqing because of ** in Shandong, and he was very embarrassed.

However, this kid is also lucky. After the Qing army entered the customs, he fled to Nanjing, and somehow took the Donglin line.

He has a close relationship with Donglin, and he is a member of the eunuch party, so he flatters both ends, but he is 'mixed' out, and now he has attacked the position of a hundred households in Jinyi, and came to Jiangbei to be responsible for the collection of grain and straw in Yangzhou, which has entered the eyes of Shi Kefa

What a thing Gao Jin, the eunuch's younger brother, filthy goods, old widower. How can my serious earl's son be willing to be a son of such a sloppy character.

Shi Kefa did this, and he insulted and despised me Gao and someone.

Seeing military attachés as slaves, potential villains and rebels was the collective consciousness of the Ming civilian-bureaucratic clique.

It's a pity that the times are different, and now is the era of martial arts. To put it mildly, as long as a few warlords get together and discuss a few words, they can decide who will be the emperor and who should get out.

Shi Kefa's thinking is still in the period of the Chongzhen Dynasty, which shows the depth of his prejudice against military attachés and his ignorance of power changes.

In this way, he completely offended Gao Jie.

also let Gao Jie and Mrs. Xing know that no matter how much they curry favor, civil officials will treat them as villains and slaves.

Gao Jie was completely dead to Shi Kefa. Yibai was responsible for the collection of grain and straw in Yangzhou in Jiangbei, and he fell into the eyes of Shi Kefa.

What a thing Gao Jin, the eunuch's younger brother, filthy goods, old widower. How can my serious earl's son be willing to be a son of such a sloppy character.

Shi Kefa did this, and he insulted and despised me Gao and someone.

Gao Jie was completely dead to Shi Kefa.
