"My lord, make a quick decision, I don't know the specific situation yet, but if there is no new food in the camp in two or three days, sooner or later the rumors will spread, and it will be all over. "www.biquge.infoAlmost all the generals on the Dengzhou front began to panic in their hearts, because there was no food and instability in the army since ancient times!"

"What's the panic, but it's just a rebellion, the Qingzhou Mansion is deep in the wall, there is water transportation, there is only a shortage of gifts every day, the army is not noisy, and the order goes down, but there are those who dare to talk nonsense to disturb the army's heart." Zhu Dadian stood up and said, but he was also flustered in his heart.

With an army of 60,000 people and horses consuming three catties of grain per day, the daily need for grain is 180,000 catties, and the contract is 1,500 stones, which is not counting the livestock food and the people along the way, with 2,000 stones per day is the lowest consumption, and no matter how low, it can only compress the grain and grass of the rear garrison and monitoring soldiers and horses.

But if you want to maintain tens of thousands of horses to attack Dengzhou, the daily demand must be 1,500 stones, and if it is low, it will not be able to stimulate morale, if you can't take Dengzhou, then these tens of thousands of troops will not be able to free up their hands to deal with the hidden dangers that appear on the back road, because after all, there are still 30,000 or 40,000 rebel soldiers in Dengzhou City, if the Ming army retreats, wouldn't it be a more thief?

"My lord, this?" Speaking is the chief soldier Yang Yufan, he really can't help it, just calculate the account, in order to support the battle on the Dengzhou front, the rear provinces sent 70,000 people, day and night to transport food, but can not stand the front line soldiers and horses too much, the daily need of the sheng, a trip back and forth although ten days long, so the front line of grain is not more than 10,000 stones, if it is only by water, with 200 ships back and forth transportation, 30 ships per day, all small boats can dock, because the dock Dengzhou artillery cover, if forcibly transported, I am afraid that the loss is more than the hand.

Therefore, it seems that 3,000 stone of grain and grass can be transported every day by 100 stone boats, but from Qingzhou to the north to the seaside along the way, I am afraid that this section of the road will also be cut off, and how many days will it take to support the army with the grain placed on the seaside?

"Hugh said a lot, the armies are moving forward, I heard that the thief leader Li Jiucheng is dead, the soldiers and civilians in the city have no will to fight, and my army has been attacking the city for a long time, and it is already a victory, why don't you take this opportunity to fight against the water, and strive to take Dengzhou once and then return to the division to quell the rebellion?!" Zhu Dadian was also in a hurry at the moment.

Seeing that Dengzhou will be taken in another month, but now the back road is unstable, if he leads the main force of the army to help, it may not be possible to quickly open up the grain road, but in this way, all the achievements of the previous months will be put into practice, because although the Liaodong army is only six or seven thousand elites, there are as many as thirty or forty thousand Liaodong soldiers and civilians in the city.

Even if the city is now besieged on all sides, casting earthen walls and firing with artillery, there are rebels who dare to go out of the city to attack the Ming artillery positions, so once the main force of the Ming army withdraws, the soldiers in the city must not immediately go out of the city to completely destroy these artillery? The reason why the Ming army pressed Dengzhou to fight, that is, because those few big general cannons, fired outside the range of the Dengzhou rebels, this can occupy an advantage, this kind of artillery, the speed of transportation is very slow, if you retreat, it is bound to be placed in the rear army, otherwise you have to send a large army to escort.

Based on the scale of Jin Hengsheng's monk Kexi's rebellion and the number of rogues, the Ming army must have at least 10,000 or more people to repel them, pay attention, it is to repel them, if you want to completely drive them out of Shandong, you must send at least 20,000 troops, which must be accompanied by the elite Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion or Guanning Iron Cavalry to do it, but is this really enough?

Based on the six or seven thousand elite rebels in Dengzhou City, if they go out of the city alone to attack one gate, they must immediately have elite soldiers and horses to intercept them, so Zhu Dadian placed the Guanmen Iron Cavalry Battalion in the west of the city, the Guanning Iron Cavalry in the south of the city, and Jin Guoqi led the cavalry back and forth to reinforce it, so as to barely ensure the safety of the entire army, and it is unacceptable to arbitrarily transfer that one unit to go.

Once the Dengzhou rebels in the city are killed, at that time, the officers and troops who are attacked by the enemy on both sides will not have an advantage, and that is the real way to defeat, so Zhu Dadian would rather gamble once, and take the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty and the main force of 60,000 people as a bet, that is, before the military rations are exhausted, Dengzhou will be broken, but it will be impossible to break Dengzhou within seven days and break it for several months!

This is already the third day that the back road has been cut off, and the generals in the army already know what they should know, looking at the soldiers who continue to attack Dengzhou City and are repulsed, the generals behind are silent.

"Zhu Futai has gone crazy." Wu Ji whispered to Zu Kuan beside him, and the latter nodded slightly when he heard this, "What should we do now?" ”

"Go back and pack your bags and prepare to retreat, Kong Youde is now with a large army and is estimated to be in Qingzhou, there are only more than 1,000 soldiers guarding there, I expect that in less than three days, we will lose the city, when we want to leave, we can't get much food, it's better to retreat early, anyway, this Ming Dynasty, it can't be mixed up for a few days." Wu Ji can see farther than ordinary people.

That is Li Jing who is entrenched in the northwest, Wang Baji has become a foundation, and the court can't help him, if so, after Wu Ji and Zu Dashou discussed, he may not necessarily choose to change the court, after all, the tens of thousands of elites of Jiannu in the east are not to be seen, as long as they unify Mongolia, it is also a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, but according to the internal report on the other side of the Tartar, the Tartar lost two thousand Zhenyi and thousands of Mongolian Tartar soldiers and horses in Shanxi.

Moreover, Lin Dan Khan of Hetao took the opportunity to go east and regained Chahar in one fell swoop, and now the entire Mongol tribe in Monan has begun to wait and see, after all, when Lin Dan Khan was not completely defeated, it is not cost-effective to directly take refuge in Dajin, what if Lin Dan Khan wins?

But Huang Taiji can't help it, several times and three times of large-scale use of troops, Dajin's national strength has also declined greatly, especially in the battle of the Western Expedition, although a lot of captures have been captured, but the same loss is also very large, not only lost a banner owner, but also more than a dozen Manchurian real Jurchen Niulu were weakened by the system, and now Houjin is too busy to take care of himself, and the internal fighting is endless, where is there still the spare strength to continue to conquer Chahar?

"But if we want to retreat to the north, sooner or later we will have to pass through the rule of the imperial court, if there is no supply along the way, wouldn't it be for someone to hold the lifeline?" Zu Kuan, who was informed by Zu Dashou's private letter, was also unwilling to continue fighting on the Denglai front, after all, this 7,000-strong Guanning Army Iron Cavalry was their most important means of saving their lives, if it was lost here, then the entire Liaodong Guanning Army system would not be able to be saved!

"It's all at this time, what supplies are you mentioning, local supplies, just grab it directly, as long as we can live to Liaodong, the court will not dare to ask us for the crime, otherwise Liaodong will be lost, the Tartars will enter the Kou, and there will be a second Ming army in Beijing to defend it?" Wu Ji saw this clearly, right now, the court didn't dare to do anything to them, the only one who died, Zuo Liangyu, that was because this person was extremely stupid, he actually gave up the army and went to Lu Xiangsheng's camp alone to ask for guilt, isn't this sent to the door to kill?

"Therefore, as long as the military power is in hand, we are safe, no matter how angry the court is at this time, it will never dare to move us in the slightest, otherwise there is Li Jing in the west, Kong Youde in the south, and us in the east, I am afraid that as soon as the three places move, the court will be finished, don't look at the current Jiangnan and Huguang, but these soldiers and horses and grain and grass can't go north, so the court has the only plan for today, only to coax us, gossip less, order to go down, give up all necessary equipment, let's only take dry food and war horses, and go back to Liaodong immediately." Wu Jian can be regarded as seeing through these people, staying here, the Dongjiang system wins, then Guanning Tieqi can't escape.

If you return to Liaodong, it may not be necessarily, when the time comes, headed by Zu Dashou, Gao Di and he will hold the main force of the 30,000 Guanning army and tens of thousands of local military households, then even the imperial court will definitely not dare to move him at all, otherwise the Guanning army will rebel again, and the Jingshi will have no chance to turn the tables at all.

"Okay, I'll let you know right away!" Zu Kuan saw that the upper echelons of the Guanning army had reached an agreement and was ready to abandon the big ship that was about to capsize, so he hurriedly went down and ordered the military horses to start cleaning up, and at the same time notified Jin Guoqi, who was also the Guanning army, after Jin Guoqi heard the news, he looked up to the sky and was speechless......

That night, about 10,000 people in the three divisions of the Guanning Army, with war horses and military rations, etc., directly abandoned the defense area and began to flee westward, and the rest of the Ming army units around their camp tents did not know the situation in the middle of the night, so they did not dare to move, only when they were investigated in the morning, they found that the main force of the Guanning Army had fled westward, and in a panic, before Zhu Dadian stabilized the situation, the rest of the Ming army collapsed on the spot.

Chen Hongfan and Wang Hong, who collapsed first, were seriously consumed in the previous battle, and most of the military horses replenished by the imperial court were given to other departments and reorganized the Denglai general army base camp, so they have been just waiting, and now they see that the Guanning army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness, has run away, and they also know that things are out of control, so they each led their headquarters to flee westward.

After hearing the report of his subordinates, Geng Zhongming, who was stationed in Dengzhou City, immediately led his troops to the city wall to watch, and saw that the various units of the Ming army began to collapse, so he was puzzled.

"Deputy Marshal, what shall we do? It doesn't seem like the Ming army had a plan, but it really collapsed. Mao Chenglu, as the number two person in Dengzhou City at this time, immediately came up to ask for instructions.

"But no one knows why the Ming army suddenly collapsed, what if we are attracted out of the city, and then cut off our back road with a large army?" There is not much artillery ammunition on the city, so it is impossible to reinforce the battle below the city, especially after Li Jiucheng died in battle, Geng Zhongming is even more reluctant to go out of the city easily, he would rather defend the city to the death than go out of the city to die.

"Report ~ Marshal, an arrow is shot from under the city, with a letter on it!" While he was talking, a general rushed to the school...... (To be continued.) )
