(Thanks to shenwei67063 and yzh187 for voting for their valuable monthly tickets, thank you.) )
The heralds around Li Zicheng gave the order for a general attack, and this time, it was Hui Dengxiang who led the sergeants to launch a full-scale attack, and Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai gave this task to Hui Dengxiang after serious discussion, and they believed that the white pole soldiers would be defeated and destroyed under this most fierce charge.
Of course, their focus is still on Qin Liangyu, followed by Ma Xianglin, one is the chief military officer of Sichuan, the other is the commander of the capital, all of them are senior generals, in the combat history of the righteous army, there has never been a military general with such a high rank who has been killed or captured.
The drums sounded, and the teams on both sides began to slowly move forward......
Hong Chengchou personally led 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, day and night, rushed to the area of Xinningdazhou, the capital of Kuizhou, the road is difficult to travel, but the order was issued, all difficulties must be overcome, fortunately, the soldiers have gone through the grassland and desert training, those environments, much more difficult, so the speed of the march has always been very fast.
The news of the scout's investigation made Hong Chengchou anxious.
The marching speed of the white pole soldiers was too fast, beyond Hong Chengchou's imagination, this is an extremely abnormal performance, he and Su Tiancheng have a hope, that is, their analysis may be problematic, and it is also possible that the white pole soldiers have nothing to do, but this kind of analysis, with the intelligence detected by the scouts, becomes more and more slim.
After entering the territory of Xinning, Hong Chengchou's mood began to become heavy.
He could conclude that the white pole soldiers had entered the ambush circle set up by the rogue, and there was more than one bad luck.
Long-term battles are very sensitive to the marks along the road, and along the way, the scouts continue to find the marks left by the white pole soldiers. Following these marks, too many places for extremely small-scale battles were discovered, and starting from Wuning, such small-scale operations have always existed, and they arrived in Xinning. Finally, a slightly larger battlefield was discovered.
This mode of luring the enemy into the depths is too obvious, why Qin Liangyu has not been able to find out, is it because she has too high self-confidence, I believe that more than 20,000 white pole soldiers can be invincible, doesn't she know that there are hundreds of thousands of Liukou.
When he entered the territory of Dazhou, the scout looked hurried. Even with a look of horror, he came to report.
"Report, the scouts were fifty miles away from Dazhou City, and found the place where the Liukou and the White Pole Soldiers were fighting, the scale was very large, and they did not dare to get too close for fear of being exposed, but the signs of the White Pole Soldiers were obvious. All of them are armed with white guns, and their numbers are large. Far inferior to the Rogues, surrounded by the Rogues in the middle. ”
Hong Chengchou's body shook a little, he knew very well what such a scene portended.
"How many rogues are there?"
"Roughly judged, the rogues who participated in the attack. At least 50,000 or more. ”
"If you know the way, you will investigate again and report the situation at all times."
All the rogues were dispatched, more than 100,000 rogues, and less than 30,000 white pole soldiers were encircled and suppressed. Moreover, it is a detailed plan, the ambush site is set up, and the white pole soldiers enter the ambush site step by step, so the ending is that the white pole soldiers are all wiped out.
It was already three quarters of the unitary hour, and it was almost dark, and there would be no battle in the night.
This place is still dozens of miles away from the battlefield, and after rushing over, it must be dark.
Hong Chengchou calmed down, all the rogues were dispatched, and laid out such a big situation, the purpose was to annihilate the white pole soldiers, it can be said that the plan is detailed, the Jiangning battalion soldiers led by himself are only 20,000 people, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of rogues, they still have to be cautious, and they can't be reckless, because they need to hurry, this time they didn't carry artillery, and it is impossible to carry artillery, only some flintlock guns, and they still need to plan carefully to save the white pole soldiers.
The scouts returned to the army, and at two o'clock, a group of scouts brought back their tongues.
The so-called tongue, that is, the enemy's spies, that is, the scouts caught the spies of the rogues.
The army had already set up camp, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, everyone was lying in their clothes and stationed in the mountains.
Hong Chengchou immediately interrogated the spies of the rogue.
When they learned that it was Jiangning Battalion, the spies of the Liukou showed a frightened look on their faces, they would never have thought that the distance was so far away, how did the Jiangning Battalion come and fly over.
Because the battle went well, the scouts scattered around the rogue relaxed their vigilance, and some even went back to participate in the battle, and the upper authorities did not pay attention to the intelligence on the periphery, and the main energy was put on the battle to exterminate the white pole soldiers. It was under such circumstances that the scouts of the Jiangning battalion were able to capture some rogue spies who had not yet had time to go back.
The details were soon interrogated.
The Liukou dispatched 100,000 people, and there were still more than 20,000 people, stationed in Baoning Province, Long'an Province and Tongchuan Prefecture, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and other Liukou leaders, all of them were dispatched, it can be said that the Liukou is pouring the greatest force, hoping to be able to completely annihilate the white pole soldiers, judging from the current progress of the war, this goal will soon be achieved.
Hong Chengchou also learned of a situation that after the Liukou exterminated the white pole soldiers, they would quickly retreat and go deep into the mountains, so that the Ming army wanted to retaliate, and they could not find the place where the Liukou lived.
The situation is clear, and Hong Chengchou is also beginning to make difficulties.
There are only 20,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion led by himself, even if the Liukou and the white pole soldiers fought for a whole day, the loss could not be very large, at most 30,000 people, because he did not know that the Liukou used artillery and arquebuses, Hong Chengchou estimated that the number of casualties of the Liukou would be larger.
In this case, there are still 70,000 rogues, and 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers are used to deal with 70,000 rogues, in case Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai and others are desperate, there is a huge danger. Winning more with less, you need to raid, you need to suddenly destroy the fighting spirit of the rogue, or capture and kill the leader of the rogue.
There is no possibility of capturing Li Zicheng, unless the more than 60,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are all pulled out, facing the rogues, the rest is a surprise attack, such conditions exist, the rogues are not prepared at all, and they are still immersed in the joy of annihilating the white pole soldiers.
After thinking about everything clearly, Hong Chengchou called He Renlong.
He Renlong is still the vanguard, 20,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, all together, Hong Chengchou did not dare to divide the troops easily, Su Tiancheng also specially entrusted, this is in Sichuan, not Shaanxi and Henan Mansion, Jiangning battalion can not get the support of the people, life is not familiar, a little careless, the small force will fall into a passive environment.
"He Renlong, tomorrow morning, you will lead 10,000 soldiers to be responsible for attacking the formation of the Liukou, no matter how difficult it is, you must break through the defense line of the Liukou, if you can't complete the task, the military law will do it."
Before He Renlong could speak, Hong Chengchou added again.
"This task is very arduous, we are facing 100,000 rogues, no matter how many people they lose in the process of fighting with the white pole soldiers, but they still have a lot of people, several times more than us, if you feel that this task is very arduous, you can withdraw now, I will send others."
Hearing this, He Renlong was anxious, and his face turned a little red.
"My lord, the last general will definitely complete the task, and will not back down, my lord, give this task to the last general."
"That's good, but you must remember, you must not be heroic, always remember that you are leading 10,000 soldiers, not a person charging in front, when you launch an attack, show the greatest momentum, I will cheer you on."
After He Renlong left, Di Huaixiang and Qin Rui came over separately and received the task.
Hong Chengchou entrusted very carefully, and noticed every bit, after serving as the commander of the Jiangning battalion, he felt that the responsibility was more important, and he also exchanged opinions with Su Tiancheng several times in private, the Jiangning battalion is brave and invincible, but it is not perfect, and there are certain problems, the key is that in the officer's body, to say that the guard commander of the Jiangning battalion, any one, can charge into battle, but the biggest problem is here, most of the guard commanders, in terms of planning, there is still a deficiency, They absolutely obeyed Su Tiancheng's orders, and over the years, according to Su Tiancheng's operational deployment, the Jiangning battalion has fought one incredible victory after another, all the officers don't like to think about it, as long as they follow the above deployment, it's fine, don't think about anything else, what needs to be paid attention to is to kill as many enemies as possible.
Su Tiancheng and Hong Chengchou both noticed this problem, so after Hong Chengchou took office, he focused on this aspect of the matter, and asked all the commanders of the guard to think more when leading troops to fight, to become all-rounders, and to be able to take charge of themselves.
Because of habitual problems, he was also a little uneasy, but this time, Hong Chengchou entrusted him very carefully.
At the end of the day, the army set out, and it was absolutely secret along the way.
The scouts were on guard in front, and when they saw the spies of the rogue in Lu, they were immediately killed, leaving no one alive, and when they saw the common people, they were taken into custody and followed the army, the purpose was not to leak secrets.
When the sky was bright, the Jiangning camp was only twenty miles away from the battlefield.
The rogues didn't know anything about it.
When there were still ten miles to go from the battlefield, the army stopped.
Hong Chengchou took some officers and soldiers to the front to observe the specific situation, and at a place five miles away from the battlefield, he looked at everything around him with a telescope.
The telescope, which has been improved by Bi Maokang, is much clearer and more practical.
Hong Chengchou saw the white pole soldiers, and also saw the rogues.
He even saw that the white pole soldiers were a little depressed and a little tragic, and he saw that the rogues were a little proud and had a strong self-confidence, and what surprised him even more was that the battlefield was full of corpses, and no one even cleaned them.
After moving the telescope up for a while, Hong Chengchou saw someone on the hillside, but he couldn't see it clearly because it was too far away.
When the white pole soldiers began to fight with the Liukou, the army of the Jiangning battalion began to advance, getting closer and closer to the battlefield. (To be continued......)
