readx; Li Laiheng beat drums to gather the generals, and soon the officers above the company level quickly arrived, and Fu Zonglong also attended the meeting as an observer. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere are four battalion commanders, in addition to the pioneer and the commander of the first battalion of the cavalry of the fourth regiment, Li Shoujun, there are also the second battalion commander Wu (sound hook) Mingming, the third battalion commander Hei Yougong, and the fourth battalion commander Li Shouyu.

Li Shoujun and Li Shouyu are brothers, similar in age to Li Laiheng, but their personalities are very calm. In contrast, the other two left a deeper impression on Fu Zonglong. On the one hand, this is because the surnames of the two are relatively rare, and on the other hand, the two have distinct personalities, and they are obviously extremely lively, and they can't sit still for a moment; And Hei Yougong is sex is like fire, and the sound is like huge thunder, which makes Fu Zonglong's ears buzz.

However, what made Fu Zonglong feel the most peculiar was the special establishment of Qin Bing. In fact, these officers also had official positions such as 1,000 households and 100 households, but when they were fighting, they still operated in accordance with the modern system established by Zhu Youzhen.

Fu Zonglong was actually a little worried about Li Laiheng. He is a native of Kunming, Yunnan, and has never had the opportunity to return to Beijing since he was admitted to the Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli and was sent back to the southwest to be an official. In this era, the news was closed, and he naturally didn't know Li Laiheng's brilliant achievements, but he only felt that this Dingnan general was too young and so eager to enter the army, and he was afraid that he would suffer a crushing defeat because of the light enemy.

However, Li Laiheng's next arrangement dispelled Fu Zonglong's doubts. Li Laiheng still sent Li Shoujun's battalion as the vanguard, and first marched to the outskirts of Chongqing to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and tried to draw a detailed map of the terrain of Chongqing. The rest of the troops concentrated on advancing, leaving a small number of troops to hold Fengjie, and in case the battle was unfavorable, at least they could wait here for reinforcements from Li Dingguo's second regiment.

Li Shoujun was just about to receive the order to set off, Fu Zonglong hurriedly said: "General Li, the student knows the geography of Chongqing quite well, so it is better to set off with Battalion Commander Li and be a guide." ”

Li Laiheng was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Fu Zonglong to explain to the officers. Fu Zonglong said: "It is about 600 miles from Fengjie to Chongqing, tracing the Yangtze River, followed by Yunyang, Wanzhou, Zhongxian, Xudu, Fuling and other counties. As far as the students knew, these counties had only been plundered by the rebels, and there were no troops stationed there, so they could be easily recovered. Only Chongqing, where the rebels are heavily guarded, has the advantage of the terrain, is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and General Li must be cautious. ”

Li Laiheng hurriedly asked: "What is the easy to defend and difficult to attack method, please tell Master Fu in detail!" ”

"Chongqing was the land of Ba in ancient times," Fu Zonglong said, "During the Warring States Period, the Qin State destroyed Ba and built Ba County in the place where the Jialing River joins the Yangtze River, which is the beginning of the construction of Chongqing." The reason why this place is chosen to build the city is because there is the Jialing River in the north, the Yangtze River in the east and south, surrounded by water on three sides, and the city is built by the mountain again, if you want to attack the city, you must not only cross the river first, but also attack from the bottom to the top, which is extremely difficult. ”

Li Laiheng frowned when he heard this, and said after a while: "I didn't expect the terrain of Chongqing to be so dangerous. However, there is a strict decree in the sage, the southwest must be quickly resolved, if it is delayed for too long, the Tartars will enter the Kou, the thieves will run around, and the situation will be even more uncontrollable. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, we must take Chongqing as quickly as possible, even if we pay a lot of casualties, we can only do it. Master Fu, you know Chongqing best, are there any factors conducive to our army's siege? ”

Only then did Fu Zonglong know the deep meaning of the emperor's use of soldiers, and thought for a moment and said, "Yes." First of all, Chongqing is located in a mountainous area, and it is foggy all year round, especially in the early morning, when the fog often fills the river, and it only disperses slightly until noon, and it is not easy for the rebels to find our army crossing the river.

"Secondly, Chongqing City has a total of 17 city gates, which should be built in response to the image of nine palace gossip, known as 'nine open and eight closed'. If there are many city gates, the rebels will divide their troops to guard them, and our army may have an opportunity. ”

"Oh?" Li Laiheng said with great interest, "My lord, please focus on the distribution of the city gates!" ”

Fu Zonglong smiled slightly, took out a map from his body and said, "Everyone, please see, this is a sketch of the city gate of Chongqing." There is a local ballad in Chongqing, which children of several years old will sing, talking about these seventeen city gates. The words say:

Chaotianmen, large wharf, welcoming officials and receiving saints; Cuiwei door, hanging colored satin, five colors are bright.

Thousands of doors, flower buns, snow as white as silver; Hongya Gate, open the boat widely, kill chickens and worship God.

Linjiangmen, manure wharf, fertile field has this; Tai'anmen, Taiping, Jigu Limin.

Through the far gate, gongs and drums sounded, and the dead were buried; Golden soup door, wooden coffin, neatly sized.

Nanji Gate, vegetable baskets, gushing in and out; Phoenix Gate, Sichuan Road Turn, herds of cattle and sheep.

Chu Qimen, the medicinal herb gang, heals all diseases; The Golden Purple Gate, just opposite, the Zhentai Yamen.

Taiping Gate, the old drum tower, the time is on time; People and doors, artillery sounded, and the master went out on patrol.

Dingyuan Gate, Comparison Dam, Dancing Knife and Stick; Fuxing Gate, walking fast horses, as fast as the clouds.

East Water Gate, there is a square ancient well, facing Zhenwu Mountain, carp jumping dragon gate.

"Among the seventeen city gates, only Chaotian Gate, Qianguo Gate, Linjiang Gate, Tongyuan Gate, Nanji Gate, Chuqi Gate, Jinzi Gate, Taiping Gate, and Dongshui Gate are open. The remaining eight gates, due to the frequent fires in the city, the government thought that there were too many gates to restrain Mars, so they were all closed. ”

"Hmm..."Li Dingguo stared at the sketch, his eyes shining, "Are these eight city gates demolished and blocked, or are they just closed?" ”

"It's just closed." Fu Zonglong hurriedly said, "These eight city gates are closed all year round and in disrepair, and the officials and soldiers have never guarded them in the past, but I am afraid that the rebels may not be able to defend them." ”

"Good!" Li Laiheng shouted, "Our army is not as strong as the rebels, so we must use a surprise attack, cross the river by fog, attack the city from all sides at the same time, and take the rebels by surprise." The officers obey the order! Lee Shou-jun! ”

"In!"

"Your battalion is the first to go, so work harder and attack the city from the south. Don't attack the open gates, break through the closed Phoenix Gate, the Renhe Gate, and the Taiping Gate! ”

"Obey!"

"It's obvious! Your second battalion crossed the river from the east, and it was also attacking the closed Tai'anmen and Cuiweimen! The eastern section has the narrowest front, and you have a higher chance of being discovered by the rebels, so be prepared for a hard fight! ”

"Obey! Commander, just look at it! ”

"Black meritorious! Your three battalions will attack Hongyamen and Fuxingmen in the north, and if necessary, make a feint to attack the largest Chaotianmen. Chaotianmen must be a place heavily defended by the rebels, be careful with me! ”

"Obey! Regiment commander, if I don't beat out the of the rebels, I won't be surnamed Hei! ”

"Li Shouyu, your fourth battalion and my regimental headquarters are attacking Dingyuanmen, Tongyuanmen, and Jintangmen in the west. The rest of the troops were used as reserves. All the troops first set up an ambush around Chongqing and secretly collected ferries. Listen to my orders and attack the city from all sides! Li Laiheng slammed his fist on the table and said, "This is the first battle of the expeditionary force, and the first battle will be won, and Chongqing must be won in one fell swoop." Do you understand? ”

The generals agreed with a bang, and Li Laiheng waved his hand and said: "The first battalion will be pulled out immediately, and the rest of the battalions will rest for one night, and they will set off tomorrow on the fourth watch!" ”
