Lu Fatzi did not hesitate to sacrifice his name and body, cleverly devised a poisonous plan, and lured the enemy to a decisive battle under Jiujiang City, and his bad idea finally succeeded!

Wu Junshao reported that Nanchang in the south was full of dogs Zhao Guoqi and Xibu Department, sending 20,000 troops, led by Zhao Guoqi, a veteran of the Mites Qing Dynasty, along the official road of Jiangxi, murderously rushing towards Jiujiang! But this is nothing, the real horror is still in the east, Anqing is full of dog Hillgen, sent 43,000 troops, led by the mite Qing general, Dingnan General Hilgen personally led, first crossed the Yangtze River south and landed in Chizhou, and then turned the road to the west, taking water and land roads, but also murderous towards Jiujiang to kill, the river mite Qing warship is like a carp crossing the river, densely packed, the mite on the ground is riding like an ant, mighty, the momentum is shocking, galloping like a stream, surging like a tide!

Although the bad idea was successful, new troubles followed, especially two big problems, which made Fat Lu a headache and extremely nervous. The first problem is that it is the first time that Lu Fatzi has commanded such a large-scale large-scale battle, and the troops participating in the battle on both sides have exceeded 110,000, and it is still a large-scale battle under the premise that the enemy is outnumbered early, and the enemy is strong and we are weak.

The second problem comes from the side of the navy, before the Fat Army's eastward crusade, the Wu Army's scouts have repeatedly confirmed, Anqing's mite Qingshui Division only has more than 100 main warships of various types, and the number is about twice that of the Fat Army's Naval Division.

It's just that what Lu Fatzi and the others didn't expect was that during the period when the Fat Boy Army went to the East, Mu Tianyan, who had a relationship with Lu Fatzi, Lord Wei's legendary good friend and the governor of Jiangning in Qing Qing, actually sent more than 100 brand-new warships and 5,000 new water trainers to the Anqing Qing Army, which suddenly increased the strength of the Anqing Qing Army and the Fat Army's Sailor to four times! As a result, not only did the famous Qing Annihilation Li Guodong, the chief commander of the Fat Army's naval division, turn pale, but even the fat man Lu, who has always been arrogant and confident, began to be worried.

"Damn, no wonder Wu Sangui, that old man, agreed to let me fight Nanjing, I finally beat away a Yang Jie on the water, and another boat with more E Nai, without the advantage of the sailor, it is impossible to fight down, it doesn't matter how much he promises! For this old man, let me send troops to northern Jiangxi, not so much to let me capture northern Jiangxi and take Jiangnan directly, but to let me contain the Jiangnan elite who are full of dogs for him, protect his Biyuan rear, and buy time for the Shaanxi and Gansu battlefields where his main force is located! Old stuff! Old fox! Old man annihilation! Old and immortal! ”

Quietly scolded Wu Laohan in his stomach, Lu Fatzi tried to make himself settle down, and began to analyze the enemy's offensive strategy and strategy to break the enemy, and at the same time, judging from the enemy's movements collected by the scouts, Lu Fatzi believed that if nothing else, the Zhao Guoqi Department of the Qing Army in Nanchang, which was closer to the road, would first arrive at Nankangfu City, which was less than forty miles away from Jiujiang, on the thirtieth day of the first month of the day after tomorrow - this is an inconsequential ordinary city, which has no danger to defend, and has little money and little food, and there is almost no oil and water to fish. In addition, Lu Fatzi pretended to be injured to lure the enemy, so the Fat Army has not freed up his hands to recover, but after Zhao Guoqi's army goes north, he will definitely choose to use this city as a foothold, and may also choose this place as a granary, or as a stronghold to receive the Anqing Qing army to cross the lake.

On the side of the Anqing Qing army, from the distance and the speed of the Qing army's march, the Anqing Qing army is likely to arrive at the west bank of Poyang Lake in the first or second day of February. At the same time, because the Qing army of Nanchang and Anqing could not arrive at the same time, the fat army still had the opportunity to break the Qing army of the two roads - of course, this is only a theoretical opportunity, once the fat army is dispatched to the south, the famous old and slippery Zhao Guoqi will inevitably rely on the danger and wait for reinforcements from the Anqing Qing army, so that the wishful thinking of the fat army will fail.

The suspicious Lu Fatzi was timid, resourceful and decisive, and did not dare to make up his mind to formulate various tactics to break through, but Wu Laohan arranged for Lu Fatzi's left and right deputies Gao Dejie and Han Daren did not think so, as soon as he heard the news of Zhao Guozhu's troops, the two natural opponents rushed to Lu Fatzi together, and asked in unison to ask for orders to go to war, asking to lead an army south to intercept the weaker Zhao Guoqi's army, and lay a good foundation for the Battle of Jiujiang.

"Brother Lu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we can't miss it!" Gao Dejie said loudly: "The dog is coming from two directions, and the fighters are rare, not too many, give me three or five thousand cavalry, and cut off the dog head of Zhao Guoqi Lao'er for you to come back as a night pot!" ”

"General Gao, we only have five or six thousand cavalry in total, and we have to take out more than half of them at once, what if something goes wrong? Will we still fight cavalry battles in the future? Han Daren sneered, and also bowed his hand to Lu Fatzi and said: "General, as long as the last general has 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry, he will definitely defeat the enemy from the south and win the first victory for our army!" ”

"Two generals, I understand your feelings." Lu Fatzi was afraid that these two opponents would quarrel again, so he hurriedly said: "As you said, the two ways of Mangou coming and attacking Jiujiang City separately are indeed a good opportunity for our army to defeat Mangou." ”

Speaking of this, Fat Lu paused, glanced at Han Daren and Gao Dejie, who were looking forward to it, and said in a deep voice: "But, don't forget, we can think of this, but Mangou can't think of this?" Especially Zhao Guoqi, the commander of this dog-filled army from the south, is an old fox, a sixty-six-year-old veteran of the battlefield, who has been rolling and crawling on the battlefield for longer than several of us. ”

Although he felt that Lu Fatzi was a little timid and conservative, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Lu Fatzi's words were not completely unreasonable, and he had always known Lu Fatzi's tactical and strategic vision, and even Wu Laohan was full of praise, so Gao Dejie quickly calmed down and did not speak again. Han Daren was different, Han Daren, who had dreamed of ousting Fat Lu from power and replacing him, raised his head and said loudly: "General, with all due respect, are you a little timid and suspicious?" Zhao Guoqi is indeed old and slippery, but don't you forget, in order to prevent our army from interfering with crossing the lake and crossing the river, Anqing Mangou will inevitably urge to rush north, seize the beachhead to receive Mangou to cross the lake, Zhao Guoqi In order to carry out the military order, can he rush north and expose his flaws? ”

"Take 10,000 steps back." Han Daren also added: "Even if Nanchang Mangou is prepared, what does it matter? Since the beginning of our army, Nanchang Mangou has hardly participated in the war, most of the soldiers have never seen blood and are inexperienced, can they be the opponent of a hundred battles division like our army? ”

"General Han, your words do make some sense." Fat Lu nodded, and said solemnly: "But it's a pity, we still don't have a chance!" Because Hilgen, the full dog coach on Anqing's side, is also an old immortal fox in his sixties, can he prevent us from breaking each other? Can you not know the field gap between our army and Nanchang Mangou? So I can conclude that Hilgen will definitely not give Zhao Guoqi such a death order to arrive at the battlefield on time, but will only order him to march step by step, be careful to go north, and would rather be late than rush in! ”

"General, why do you think so badly about the full dog at every turn? Thinking so cunning? Han Daren asked with a sneer.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, strategically you can despise the enemy, and tactically you must pay attention to the enemy." Lu Fatzi said coldly: "I have made up my mind, I will not divide my troops to intercept Nanchang Mangou for the time being, and I will see the situation first." ”

Lu Fatzi said it to this point, no matter how dissatisfied Han Daren and Gao Dejie were, they had no choice but to go. Lu Fatzi stayed in the Shuai Hall and continued to calculate the strategy of breaking the enemy, constantly calculating the strength comparison of the two sides and analyzing the enemy's psychology of using troops, looking for a way to defeat the strong with the weak, but at the time of the second watch, the exhausted Lu Fatzi was about to return to the back hall to rest, when the footsteps outside the hall were suddenly mixed, Li Tianzhi and Gao Dejie and others rushed in quickly, as soon as they entered the door, Gao Dejie shouted: "Brother Lu, Han Daren, that dog mongrel, is too daring!" ”

"What's wrong?" Lu Fatzi first slammed it, and then jumped up violently, and shouted with a blank face: "Didn't he obey the general's orders and led the troops out of the city without permission?" ”

"That's it!" Gao Dejie shouted: "That dog mongrel and his mongrel brother Han Yuanren, taking advantage of the darkness, opened the east gate they were responsible for without permission, and led five thousand infantry and several hundred cavalry out of the city!" ”

"He also left a message." Li Tianzhi added: "He said that he asked the general not to send troops to chase after him, he was going to kill the dogs, not to drop the dogs, and if he didn't get back the head of Zhao Guoqi's old man, he would vow not to withdraw the troops!" ”

"it!" The first time such a thing occurred when he led the troops, Fat Lu inevitably scolded with a blue face.

"Brother Lu, give me an army, I'll go and arrest Brother Han Daren back and punish you!" Gao Dejie hurriedly said. Over there, Li Tianzhi, Quan Jie, Hu Tongchun and others also angrily asked for orders to send troops to hunt down and kill Han Daren's brothers, while Lu Fatzi thought nervously with a blushing face and was not in a hurry to speak.

"Brother Dajie, I'll give you 3,000 cavalry out of the city." After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Fatzi finally spoke: "But you are not allowed to chase and kill Han Daren's army, just follow him all the way from the side, and once you find out that he is fighting with Mangou, immediately ambush him in a secluded place." If Han Daren is ambushed, you don't have to save him! If he is defeated back and forth, you don't have to care about him, and you are not allowed to attack the dog-filled pursuers, so you must continue to wait patiently for the dog-filled brigade! ”

"Why?" Gao Dejie asked in surprise.

"If I guessed correctly, Zhao Guoqi is afraid of the field strength of our army, and will inevitably set up the elite soldiers in the front team and the new soldiers in the squadron." Lu Fatzi explained: "So if you ambush the front team full of dogs, even if you succeed, you won't get too much, only the ambush combat effectiveness and unprepared full dog brigade will have a chance to achieve a big victory, understand?" ”

"Understood!" Gao Dejie was overjoyed and agreed, and hurried down to arrange - not saving Han Daren happened to be right for him.

"Listen to the whole festival!" Lu Fatzi commanded again: "You lead 5,000 infantry out of the city, go along the official road to chase Han Daren, and find that he is defeated and retreat, and immediately come forward to answer and save our brothers back." Remember, you must not march too fast, you must retain the strength of the soldiers, and do not rush to the end of the march and run there, as a result, you will not even have the strength to fight. ”

"The last general obeys!" The whole section agreed loudly, and also hurriedly went down to organize the army to attack. Lu Fatzi said to the generals with a blue face: "The rest of the people, all go back to the camp for me to strictly restrain my subordinates, and if there are any people who do not obey the general's orders and attack privately, they will be killed!" ”

The generals agreed, and left together, looking at the back of the generals leaving, Lu Fatzi was silent for a long time, until everyone walked away, Lu Fatzi hammered his fist on the table, and hummed: "Han Daren Xiaoer, wait for you to come back, see how Lao Tzu cleans you up!" ”

Humming here, a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the fat face of the fat man, and he said secretly: "But it's okay, with your stupid pig as bait, no matter how old Zhao Guoqi is, I'm afraid he will definitely fall for my Master Lu!" ”

………………

Not to mention that Lu Fatzi sulked in Jiujiang City, just said that after Han Daren's brother led the troops out of the city privately, he was afraid that Lu Fatzi would send an army to chase after him, and he just rushed south all the way, until dawn before he stopped to rest in the area of Yangjiashan in De'an, and sent a sentry horse to reconnoiter the rear and did not see the Wu army chasing soldiers, Han Daren's brothers were both happy and nervous, of course, no one interfered with their brother's achievements, and the nervous thing was that things had come to this point, and his brother had no way back, or he would return victorious, and go back to the city to slap Lu Fatman's fat face, Either die on the battlefield and die to make your will clear, or there is no choice.

Since there is no turning back, even if they regret it, it is useless, and the Han Daren brothers can only desperately promise heavy rewards to boost the morale of the army, while leading the army to continue southward to meet the Qing army in Nanchang along the official road to the north. So all the way to noon, the army just arrived at the Jianchang loess pit, the front sentry horse Pegasus came to report, saying that the Jianchang Xiaolu Mountain area found the Qing army's forward team, the number is not very large, about only two or three thousand people. When the Han Daren brothers heard the news, they were overjoyed and ordered the whole army to rest on the spot, seize the time to replenish their physical strength, and wait for the Qing army to go north.

After a little half an hour, the Qing army forward team with mixed infantry and cavalry arrived at the loess pit, judging from the banner, the general who led the Qing army should be Zhao Guoqi's favorite general Chang Jingong, Han Daren's brothers were overjoyed, and they were busy with the whole army to attack. The Qing army's forward was obviously unprepared, and as soon as the battle was engaged, it was completely defeated and retreated, and was killed by Han Daren's brothers, who lost their armor and lost their armor, and could not form an army.

was happily chasing, a big river suddenly appeared in front of the road, it turned out that the Han Daren brothers had unknowingly chased Chang Jingong's defeated soldiers to the bank of the Xiushui River. It was early spring, the river was not big, Chang Jingong's defeated army crossed the river and continued to flee south, Han Yuanren wanted to urge the army to chase and kill, but Han Daren calmed down, quickly grabbed Han Yuanren, and said nervously: "Can't chase across the river, if Mangou has an ambush on the south bank of the Xiushui River, then we will be in big trouble." ”

"But our gains are not big!" Han Yuanren said anxiously: "I only cut off two or three hundred heads full of dogs, and if we go back like this, we can't explain to Lu Yifeng." ”

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Han Daren finally remembered Lu Fatzi's mantra and ordered: "The rapid march has fought another battle for a day, and the physical strength of our soldiers is also insufficient, go downstream, and go to Jianchang City to rest for the night." ”

"Boom!" Han Yuanren was about to agree, but suddenly a horn sounded on the other side, and an army on the left and right sides of the north and south banks of the Xiushui River was killed, killing Han Daren's brothers left and right like wolves and tigers, and the Chang Jingong team that had been defeated and retreating in front also turned around and attacked the Wu army on three sides. Although the Wu soldiers led by Han Daren's brothers were elite, they were helplessly exhausted at the moment, and they were attacked by the Qing army on three sides, and the team was suddenly in chaos.

"Sure enough, there was an ambush, but fortunately I didn't chase the river!" Seeing this scene, the Han Daren brothers were frightened into a cold sweat, knowing that the self-army had made a turn on the ghost gate - the Qing army had set up an ambush on the north and south banks of the Xiushui River.

"Don't be afraid, don't mess around! Form a phalanx and fight against the dogs! Nanchang Mangou doesn't have much experience, don't be afraid of them! "Han Daren is quite calm, knowing that if the army is defeated and retreated, it will inevitably suffer, and there is no way to explain to Lu Fatzi when he returns to Jiujiang City, so it is better to fight a bloody battle on the spot, and there is still a chance to win.

Although Han Daren's abacus played well, he forgot that the physical strength of the soldiers of the army could not continue to hold on, and he did not expect that the combat effectiveness of the Qing army team that killed on three sides was also quite good, the battle was very brave, and the execution of orders was also very resolute. As a result, after only a short period of fighting, the Wu army began to retreat completely, no matter how Han Daren's brothers shouted encouragement, they just didn't have the strength to fight hard with the Qing army again, Han Daren's brothers were so anxious that their voices were crying, but they couldn't control the army to retreat northward.

At the same time, on the high ground on the south bank of the Xiushui River, Zhao Guoqi, a veteran of the Qing army who was deeply feared by Lu Fatzi, smiled, observed the battlefield situation with a clairvoyant mirror, and said with a smile: "Wu Gou's abacus is good, and he wants to eat the old man first, but unfortunately this has long been expected by the old man." However, they are also smart and have not chased the Xiushui River, otherwise, it would be good if half of their thousands of troops could cross the river alive. ”

"The military gate is clever, and the ghosts are unpredictable." The generals of the Qing army next to him slapped their ass, and the chief soldier Xu Zhen suggested again: "Junmen, do you want to urge our Chinese army brigade to hurry up and join the battlefield as soon as possible to annihilate this Wu dog?" ”

"No need, Wu Gou will not retreat from the battle, he must know that there is no reinforcement to reinforce, so he has to fight to the death to survive, and the victory of our army is decided." Zhao Guoqi replied: "Moreover, this battlefield is close to mountains and rivers, which is not conducive to our recruits fighting in formation, and there is no way to train their experience. Scattered and joined the battlefield, it would be just a waste. ”

After that, Zhao Guoqi pointed to the front and ordered: "Go and give Zhao Yue an order, let him speed up the charge, and be sure to disperse Wu Gou's brigade so that our army can kill the thieves." ”

The herald rushed forward to give the order, Zhao Yue, the eldest son of Zhao Guoqi, who commanded the battle, did not speak, and personally led the elite cavalry to charge the Wu army brigade, although the number of more than 800 horsemen was not much, but the victory was in the elite bravery, like a sharp knife straight into the middle of the Wu army, the Wu army infantry who were exhausted of physical strength were difficult to intercept even if they were arrayed, and the rout momentum was even more obvious. Seeing this scene, Han Daren, who was still a little loyal to Wu Laohan, had no choice but to order the whole army to retreat north to protect the soldiers, and personally visit the palace of the first army, and the three Qing armies were united as one and pursued with all their might.

"Give Zhao Yue another order, don't chase the enemy too deeply, and guard against Wu Gou's ambush." Zhao Guoqi issued two orders one after another, "In addition, the Chinese army brigade is ordered to speed up the north, and before it gets dark, be sure to cross the Xiushui River and camp." ”

The order was conveyed, Zhao Yue's team in front chased more fiercely, and the Chinese army brigade under the personal command of Zhao Guoqi accelerated northward with siege equipment and grain and grass baggage, and crossed the Xiushui River before it was completely dark, stopped on the north bank of the Xiushui River, began to light a fire to cook, and set up camp to rest. And Zhao Guoqi, who has become an old man, is widely spreading scouts to reconnoiter movements in all directions, and constantly sending messengers to get in touch with his son and grasp the movements of the front army.

While the army was camping, Zhao Guoqi found a flat and clean place to sit down, began to calculate and analyze the situation of the Wu army, and secretly said in his heart: "From the perspective of this battle, there is indeed a problem with the inside of Jiujiang Wu Dog, and Lu Yifeng's dog thief is either really injured by artillery, or there is a problem with the control of Wu Dog's army." Otherwise, this notoriously cunning Wu Dog should never allow today's Wu Dog to march so quickly and rashly pursue the enemy, and not send a rear army to respond. ”

"If that's the case, maybe there is really a lot of hope for this battle in Jiujiang." Thinking about this, Zhao Guoqi was full of wrinkles, and his face couldn't help but show a relaxed smile again.

"Boom!" Just when he was proud, a cannon suddenly rang out behind the mountain in the west of the Qing army camp, and the sound of killing was loud, and a group of Wu cavalry shouted and rushed over, and the Qing army that was making a fire to rebel and set up camp was shocked, and was immediately in chaos. Zhao Guoqi also jumped up in shock, and shouted in a distraught voice: "How is it possible? How could Wu Gou possibly set up an ambush here? ”

"Da Zhou!" Suddenly, the sound of thunder shouting and killing was close at hand, and the cavalry of the Wu army, which had been accumulating strength for a long time and was extremely elite, came in separate ways, inserting them into the camp of the Qing army like several sharp knives, cutting people when they saw them, killing them when they saw the enemy, rampage, and invincible. And the elite of the Qing army has already been lured to the distance in front of the Han Daren brothers, and the Chinese army is full of recruits who have never seen blood on the battlefield for the first time. They were killed all over the field, with rivers of blood, holding their heads and trampling on each other, and countless dead.

"Don't mess around! Don't mess around! This time it was finally Zhao Guoqi's turn to shout in a panic, but in the dark, the sergeant ran for his life, how could he quickly organize again? The iron cavalry of the Wu army led by Gao Dejie himself was like a swimming dragon, only running and slashing between the Qing army camps, setting fire everywhere, and the Qing soldiers were even more panicked and frightened, or jumped into the river to escape, or went up the mountain to escape, and almost no one raised a sword to resist the enemy. The cavalry of the Wu army was merciless, picking out places where there were many Qing soldiers to rush and kill, desperately harvesting the surnames of the Qing army's recruits, and a cavalry actually killed Zhao Guoqi's Chinese army directly.

"What's going on? Since Wu Gou had already ambushed soldiers, why did he refuse to rescue his allies in the first place? Could it be that Wu Gou's civil strife has reached the point where they refuse to rescue each other? Or is it that Wu Gou's coach has already expected that I will concentrate the elite soldiers in the front team? Until he was forcibly put on a war horse and fled south by his own soldiers, Zhao Guoqi was still thinking about this problem.

"Da Zhou!" Between the roars, the Wu army's cavalry rushed to kill even more violently, the snowy sabers were slashed down like a whirlwind like a storm, the steel knives gradually turned into bloody knives, and the horse's hooves gradually turned into bloody hooves, and then correspondingly, there were more and more corpses of Qing soldiers on the battlefield, higher and higher, and the dead were all over the mountains, and the blood flowed into canals. The fire on the siege equipment originally used to attack the city wall of Jiujiang became more and more vigorous, and the baggage of the military weapons and the corpses of the Qing soldiers rushed into the repair water, and the repair water was blocked.

The blood of the Qing Dynasty soldiers once again stained the top of the fat man of the Qing Dynasty!
