Chapter 44 - Blowing the Trumpet of War

Just when Yang Desheng was in full swing...... Prepare to face Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang!

Thousands of miles away in Xiangxi, Zhang Yun also attached great importance to this battle, and asked Li Qing on the radio more than once......

As a result, the news was not very optimistic, because it had been lost, and the freedom to travel through two time and space was a big killer. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, Zhang Yun really had no choice but to use the plane to directly intervene...... This time there was a war between the Manchus and the Taipings.

Zhang Yun thought about it for a long time and found that this time the bias frame was not easy to pull...... Having lost the ability to directly intervene in armed forces, Zhang Yun was a little blind for a while.

If the ability to traverse is still there, at this time, you can directly drive a plane to Shandong and directly intervene in the war between the puppet Qing and the Taiping army.

"Hey......"

Zhang Yun sat in the handsome seat and sighed, Yang Feifei was a little strange...... "Dashuai, are you worried about the conflict between the Taiping Army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Yun nodded and said, "Can you not worry?" Originally, Li Xiucheng had hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops in his hands, so he could barely entangle with Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang...... Gain a foothold in Shandong,"

"But now the manpower of the Taiping army has been reduced by more than 30%, and the most important thing is that they are still in turmoil...... A unified command center has not yet been established. ”

"Relying only on Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng, there is no way to stabilize the Taiping Army in a short period of time, and Ben Shuai is worried now...... As soon as Li Hongzhang arrived, they scattered as birds and beasts! ”

"One thing that the handsome man seems to have forgotten! As far as my subordinates know, not long ago~ Didn't we send 200,000 rifles to Shandong? ”

"In the past, the Taiping army could compete with the Manchu Qing side with 200,000 rifles, but now that the number of rifles has doubled, is it weaker than before?"

"Although there are fewer Taiping soldiers now...... But at least the number of rifles they have is not less, but twice as much, is the marshal a little too worried? ”

Hearing Yang Feifei's words of military blindness, Zhang Yun almost laughed out loud, but with Yang Feifei's status today, Zhang Yun didn't want to sweep his face too much, so he could only endure it!

After a while, after this emotion passed, Zhang Yun said, "Extraordinary! War is not more than people, of course, more people and better weapons, it is to take advantage, but it is not the decisive factor that determines the victory of the war, the ...... Always people. ”

"The Taiping army has just suffered a great change, and people have made up their minds, and at this time, if they are attacked by foreign enemies, once the strength exceeds their tolerance, I am afraid they will collapse on the spot."

"And the Manchu Qing side, will they let go of this excellent news? With Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's cunning and cunning...... This kind of God-given opportunity, they will definitely seize it tightly and give the Taiping army a hard blow. ”

"According to Ben Shuai's guess, at this time, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang are probably already using their army and going straight to Caozhou, Shandong......"

After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he saw that Yang Feifei was also in deep thought, and couldn't help but feel a little bored, got up and left the handsome tent, took a few guards, and went to Tie Niu to have a look!

After seeing Tie Niu, Zhang Yun also told him about the worries in his heart, hoping that Tie Niu could share his sorrows!

Tie Niu is much more practical than Yang Feifei, and after listening to Zhang Yun's description, he said: "Dashuai~ Can we reorganize the manpower and send war readiness resources to Shandong?" ”

Zhang Yun shook his head and said, "I have already thought of what you said, but we are too far away from the base camp of the Taiping Army in Shandong...... At the same time, the Manchu side was far from Caozhou, Shandong,"

"But it's only a few days away, so we will definitely be slapped in the face if we compare the speed with the Manchu side......"

"Then may I ask if the marshal can let Yang Desheng ...... and Zhou Yuancheng and the two of them immediately retreated? Since you can't beat the Manchus, let's avoid the Manchus for the time being...... Wait until the armament is rearmament, and then go to face the Manchu Qing? ”

Zhang Yun smiled bitterly: "If you were replaced by Li Hongzhang, would you give the Taiping Army a chance to reorganize and fight?" What's more, the Manchu Qing had tens of thousands of cavalry troops,"

"There are no big mountains near Caozhou, and some are just some small mountains and the like, you think you are on the run...... What is the result of being caught up by tens of thousands of cavalry? ”

Tie Niu was speechless for a moment, but he didn't know what he thought of in an instant......

He slapped his forehead vigorously and said: "Dashuai~ You only see that there are tens of thousands of cavalry on the Manchu side, don't you know that we also have twenty or thirty thousand cavalry troops?" ”

"This is still Tie Niu was personally formed by your orders, when you asked Tie Niu to form a cavalry unit, weren't you worried that you would encounter today's situation? You see, now, our cavalry troops can come in handy......"

Zhang Yun suddenly realized that as soon as this person got into the tip of the horns, he couldn't think of anything!

There have always been only tens of thousands of cavalry on the Manchu side, but they ignore that they also have twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, which is in the plains...... But it's a big killer that can't be solved!

You don't see it, the later generations have come to World War II...... The Dongying Island country was still formed, and a large cavalry force came to bully the red regime, which lacked guns and ammunition.

The reason is not ...... Didn't the Red regime equip itself with heavy machine guns on a large scale? If the Red regime at that time had a machine gun in each platoon, would the small country still dare to be as rampant as it was at the beginning?

And when the small country of Dongying used the same cavalry tactics to launch an assault on the Citi Nation soldiers...... Didn't you be severely pressed to the ground and taught a lesson, and you were beaten with a blue nose and swollen face?

Zhang Yun once saw an argument in modern time and space, that is, in ...... When heavy machine guns were not available, or large quantities of equipment were put into the troops, the cavalry units were still on the plains...... Unsolvable puzzles on the battlefield!

Zhang Yun doesn't know, is this argument correct?

But he knew in his heart that in the plains, in the face of the Manchu troops who were not equipped with heavy machine guns, if he sent cavalry troops forward, he would definitely reap a lot of results.

And the reverse is also true, now the Manchu Qing side has tens of thousands of cavalry, although the Taiping army also has cavalry units, but now the people are panicked and cannot form an effective combat effectiveness.

In this case, if Li Hongzhang knocks on the door, the tens of thousands of cavalry troops of the Manchu Qing Dynasty alone will definitely be enough for Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng to drink a pot, and it is the kind that can't run away!

After sorting out these thoughts, Zhang Yun asked Tie Niu, "How many of our cavalry troops are still in the camp?" If you go full speed, how long will it take to get to Caozhou, Shandong? ”

"First of all, Iron Bull feels handsome, and you have gotten into the tip of the horns again......"

"There's no need for us to let the cavalry troops rush to Caozhou, Shandong!"

"Anyway, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng will definitely not be able to stop Li Hongzhang's troops, since they will definitely be defeated, why don't the marshal formulate a retreat direction and let them retreat in the direction?"

"Just like the great retreat in Nanjing, the marshal formulated the direction and route of the retreat for the Taiping army in advance, so that even if Zhou Yuancheng and them were defeated, they would not lose too many men and horses......"

"As for the men and horses they lost, with the rogue nature of the Taiping Army, can't they be replenished in minutes?"

"As for weapons, even if they throw away all these hundreds of thousands of rifles...... Dashuai, how difficult can you make them stand up again? ”

That's enough...... You just tell Ben Shuai, the first two questions!

Tie Niu saw that he was talking at length, and Zhang Yun was a little annoyed and angry, and he couldn't get off the stage!

Therefore, I can only repeat the topic just now, who called Zhang Yun a handsome, and he is a subordinate!

"Ahem......"

Tie Niu coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then said: "Our cavalry troops, there are still about 20,000 people, advancing at full speed, and it will take one or twenty days to arrive in Shandong, which will have to be done day and night, but after that, this batch of war horses will probably be wasted!" ”

"It's just that you have to understand one thing, that is, we don't need to ...... Send cavalry straight to Caozhou, and you can exert influence on the Taiping army to retreat south......"

"This can save the time of the meeting between our two sides, and it won't take one or twenty days for our cavalry troops to join the defeated troops of the Taiping Army and help the Taiping Army gain a firm foothold!"

Tie Niu's words, Zhang Yun nodded again and again, yes, his next step is to move troops against the southwest, at this time Li Xiucheng was played to death by himself, this problem is a bit serious!

No one is going to drag Li Hongzhang for himself!

If you follow the method of Tie Niu, you will bring tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, follow the 20,000 cavalry troops to the north, bring hundreds of Makqin, and cripple Li Hongzhang again at one time!

What a wonderful result! As long as Li Hongzhang's birdman cooperates and keeps biting the tail of the defeated soldiers of the Taiping Army, then he will definitely have the opportunity to teach him a lesson......

You must know that more than 100 years later, in World War I, the Germans still used heavy machine guns to teach the British a lesson.

Now it's my turn, there's no reason not to use these hundreds of heavy machine guns to give Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang a good lesson!

In the past, he didn't use heavy machine guns because he needed to keep them secret, but now he is about to use troops against the southwest, hundreds of heavy machine guns, Zhang Yun doesn't care anymore, not to mention that as long as these guns are taken out and used, it will be like a joke if they want to keep them secret......

……

Therefore, Zhang Yun immediately ordered Tie Niu to gather all the more than 20,000 cavalry...... Ditch everything you can throw away.

The next step is to set off and move forward at full speed, we must not let the Taiping Army extinguish Li Hongzhang, at least we must save a certain amount of fire!

After Zhang Yun finished ordering, he saw that Tie Niu was a little eager to try...... directly sneered and said: "Tie Niu, you don't need to go, find a few of your henchmen and favorite generals, and go north with the cavalry troops!" ”

Tie Niu was extremely unhappy, this was finally a big battle to fight, but Zhang Yun didn't let himself go, so Tie Niu hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yun and prepared to spray!

"Handsome ......"

What he didn't expect was ...... Zhang Yun threw off his sleeves and strode back to the tent directly.

Only one sentence was left for him, "Immediately let the cavalry troops go north......"
