Chapter 369 The military gate is not good

"Junhou's idea is very good, but Yinghan won't agree to it."

Liu Mingchuan glanced at Tang Dingkui with great appreciation, but denied his idea, and wanted to pull a piece of meat out of Yinghan's mouth, not to mention that Yinghan would not agree, and the king of Qingjun in the court would not agree, it was good to strengthen his military power, but the way was too obvious.

Pointing to the map, Liu Mingchuan hammered down with a fist and said: "Since Zhang Yao is the first year of junior high school, why can't we be fifteen!" My department is ready to retreat to Baoding from now on, I am asking the court for instructions, at this time of peril, regardless of the past suspicions, reuse meritocracy, give Lord Zhang the opportunity to win military merits, let him go to defend Cangzhou. ”

"Wonderful! The military gate master has a clever plan! Tang Dingkui lost no time in sending the sycophants, his mind was much more flexible than the other two, and only he would echo Liu Mingchuan for the first time with such a lossy plan.

Let Zhang Yao go to defend Cangzhou, Yinghan can go back to Tianjin smoothly, Zhang Yao is still standing on the front line with the New People's Army with a clear sword and a gun, this time if he dares to retreat, there is no need for the imperial court to fall, with the support of tens of thousands of guns from foreign adults, Yinghan can kill Zhang Yao.

At the same time, it can shorten the logistics line, reduce the horizontal blocking position, and better get the support of foreign adults.

As soon as he finished giving the order, his subordinate Wei Rugui hurriedly broke in, exhaled loudly, and spit out in a hurry: "Junmen. . . Oh no! A regiment of the New People's Army appeared upstream of the river, and they had just attacked Shouling County. ”

"What? The New People's Army crossed the river, and there was a regiment! ”

The regiment of the New People's Army still inquired clearly, less than 1,45, more than 2,000, and now there is an armed regiment quietly moving to its own rear flank, but unknowingly occupying Lingshou County.

What does Hu Gan want to do? The answer is about to come out, this is the intention to eat yourself in one bite, no wonder you have been firing cannons by the river, thunder and rain, it is deliberately to attract your attention.

Liu Mingchuan was still straightforward and decisive, and without hesitation at this time, he directly wrote two letters and sent them to Beijing and Cangzhou, and then instructed:

"As much as you want, you take people to attack Lingshou County immediately, no matter how much it costs, you must drag them there, it is best to recapture Lingshou, you can't let them attack Xinle easily, Gongting, you take people to guard here, if the New People's Army crosses the river by force, you must resist, Da San, you hurry up and whip the horse to Baoding first, gather the nearby soldiers and horses must guard there, there is no room for loss, Junhou followed me, brought 12,000 people and supplies to Xinle, you can't let the New People's Army capture here, otherwise our army will be in danger."

Arrangements were made for all departments to start acting, and Liu Mingchuan was still able to govern the army, and all of them operated in an orderly manner under the order, and the entire Zhengding County was neighing for a while.

However, before leaving, Tang Dingkui pulled his brother Tang Diankui over and said, "Big brother! This is more auspicious and less, take care of everything, don't come hard, the new people's army is not better than the twist army, it may not be easy to recapture Lingshou, I will send you a letter every half an hour, if you can't do it, thirty-six plans should be the best policy. ”

Tang Diankui nodded, and was extremely moved in his heart, but said: "Don't worry, the military gate lord has his own decision, he asked me to go to the Lingshou and didn't let you go with me, it was to protect my Tang family, if you let you go with you, that is the real broken tail to survive, abandon us and Gongting." So the adults want to plan to swallow the new people's army that crosses the river.,The mind of making a contribution.。。 ”

Hearing his brother say this, Tang Dingkui didn't say anything, he was as clever as a ghost, not as upright as his brother, and he always felt that this time was very dangerous.

Once the army is divided, it will be difficult to gather together in Baoding. However, he couldn't damage his brother's confidence, so he could only call for a thousand calls to take care, and then follow Liu Mingchuan to send Xinle, hoping to arrive earlier than the New People's Army, so that the plan of the military master would be guaranteed.

Liu Mingchuan's worries were not unreasonable, the troops sent by Hu Gan to cross the river were a reorganized regiment of 2,000 people, and after this regiment captured Lingshou, it rushed to Xinle as planned.

Hu Gan wanted to build a small encirclement in this area to eat Liu Mingchuan, who had been famous for a long time, to correct his name, and to tell the world that he did not become a master and sit as the commander of Jinzhong because he was born in Yang Dongfang's lineage.

On the map, the distance from Xindong to Lingshou and Zhengding is about the same, and both people and horses used the fastest speed to run to the target, raising layers of loess on the official road in summer.

However, the New People's Army set off one step earlier, leaving only one battalion in Lingshou, and three battalions immediately went to Xinle, but it was still a little late.

On the crossing of the Zihe River, there were 500 militia groups running from Xinle County, and it turned out that Liu Mingchuan's messenger crossed the river a little earlier because he was on horseback, and notified the Xinle County side.

I don't know that the county notified the militia in the city to raise 800 militia groups and rushed to the ferry, wanting to collect boats first to prevent the new people's army from crossing the river, and at the same time to lead Liu Mingchuan.

However, before they could rush to collect the ships on both sides of the strait, the New People's Army had already arrived.

"Damn the militia group, see that Lao Tzu doesn't chop you up, the second battalion stays behind to guard the official road, monitor the movements of the Huai army, and if the Huai army comes, block it for me. The third battalion and the fourth battalion took the attacking line, covered the boats that rushed to cross, and killed the militia on the other side for me. ”

Soon the 800 militia and the 1,000 New People's Army confronted each other across the river, and the New People's Army found a boat with 20 people on it, and after entering the water, they rowed and rushed to the opposite bank.

The militia on the opposite side immediately fired with bird guns, but they were quickly suppressed by the muskets of the New People's Army.

In the face of such a dense burst of gunfire, bullets came with a roar, and the militias were silent, and several brave ones were hit.

The twenty men on board rushed ashore without danger, and then landed, shooting at the militia positions.

Although there were 800 members of the militia, they were defeated in the face of the muskets without blocking them for a single round, and turned around and ran back to Xinle County.

There is no way, they are holding big swords and spears, and their strength is not comparable, and if they can't get close to the body of the New People's Army, they will be beaten into a sieve, where are they willing to give their lives to the landlords and old wealth.

The small episode of crossing the river passed quickly, and the New People's Army collected boats while crossing the river, and soon all three battalions crossed the river, and the boats near the upper and lower streams were also collected.

In the end, the second battalion was left to guard the river, and the third battalion and the fourth battalion attacked Xinle County.

The militia fled back to the city, like a hurricane blowing, and the city was full of wind and rain for a while, and the county government, the regimental trainers, the landlords, the squires, and the bullies and ruffians in the city all jumped up.

They are all the objects that the New People's Army wants to clean up, and they are terrified of their own homes.

The timid packed up the gold and silver and quickly ran to Tianjin or Beijing, and the unwired ones hid in the countryside to relatives' houses.

However, soon the emergence of the New People's Army shattered their most illusions, and dense gunfire struck, accurately killing the militia groups that dared to take the lead.

In less than ten minutes, the militia group collapsed, and Xinle County opened its arms to the third and fourth battalions.

Just before the dust settled on Xinle County's side, the battle in Lingshou County had already begun.

Although the road from Zhengding to Lingshou is not easy to walk, the distance is a little closer, and Tang Diankui rushed here with four thousand people at the fastest speed.

And get in touch with the militia group that was defeated by the New People's Army and get the news.

"Lord Tang, the New People's Army only left about 500 people in Lingshou, and the rest went to the northeast, please be sure to be the master for us and recapture Lingshou County!"

"Yes, Lord Tang, my family is still in the city, as long as we can recapture the county seat, we will definitely have a good reward."

Tang Diankui stroked his beard, repeatedly determined the number of the New People's Army, and asked again: "Where is the place where the New People's Army crossed the river, and is there any New People's Army crossing the north bank of the river?" ”

One of the regiments surnamed Huang replied: "My lord, no, the New People's Army crossed the river from the upper reaches of Huangbizhuang, where the water flow is turbulent, and it is not suitable for the army to move. ”

Tang Diankui also nodded, this analysis is very correct, if the army can cross the river, the New People's Army will not send only one regiment, which shows that it is not easy to cross the river, and it is easy to be exposed.

So he didn't hesitate and said: "Okay, then bother you to lead the way, my Kuizi battalion will attack Gangtou now." ”

There are mountains on both sides of the gangtou, an official road passes from here, it is a good blocking position outside the county, the new people's army has two companies here at this time, and there is also a company to maintain order in the city, and at the same time recruit militia security teams.

During most of the day, the two companies of the New People's Army built simple fortifications and dug a battle trench, and the trenches were not long, but they were very useful.

Under the guidance of Huang Tuanlian and others, the Huai army understood that it would not be able to advance half a step without taking the post, so they charged up the mountain.
