Chapter 484: Presumptuous!

Wang Dou originally planned to hold on to the Qing army at Songshan, and it was best to kill and wound the enemy in large numbers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the Qing army stormed Jinzhou, but had to march to the rescue, after all, at this stage, the Qing army was much more than in history, and Jinzhou was more difficult to defend than in history.

He asked Hong Chengchou's staff to carry out the sand table, which was given to Hong Chengchou by Wang Dou a few days ago, there is some terrain in Jinzhou City and nearby, although it is not as exquisite as the sand table used by the Jingbian army, but it is quite rare, Hong Chengchou is regarded as a treasure after it, and it is rare for idlers to approach.

Everyone gathered around, and Wang Dou explained to the sand table: "The topography of Jinzhou City, as large as three sides of the water, the Xiaoling River in the northwest around the city to the south of the city, the daughter river from the southwest of the city to the south of the city, there are hundreds of rivers on the east side of the city, these rivers are not far from the west side of the Xiaoling River Fort, meandering in the southeast into the sea.

Wang Dou said: "To the north of Xiaolinghe Fort is Bauhinia Mountain, and to the south is Shimen Mountain. In the past, these mountains, thieves and slaves were stationed with heavy troops, but after my division captured the Loess Ridge, the slave soldiers in these two mountains became fewer and fewer, and in recent days, the slave soldiers of Bauhinia Mountain were even more missing, and the Tartars of Shimen Mountain were only a few thousand, and the artillery on the mountain was withdrawn. ”

Wang Dou talked about everything, everyone nodded, Wang Dou's explanation was clear and clear, giving everyone a clear and intuitive feeling. Of course, this also has part of the credit of the sand table, such as the map used on weekdays, which cannot achieve this effect.

Wang Dou said: "The southwest of Shimen Mountain is Rufeng Mountain, and now there are a lot fewer slave soldiers, less than 10,000 people left, and the artillery arranged on the mountain is also withdrawn. ”

"Where have they gone?"

He planted a few small flags in the north of Jinzhou City, as well as in the western zone: "This is it!" ”

Looking around at everyone, Wang Dou's eyes were blazing: "Originally, thieves and slaves besieged Jinzhou, set up eight camps around the city, dug three long trenches, and mainly enshrined red flags and red flags in Manchuria, including miscellaneous servants, there were about 30,000 people!" ”

"After the thieves and slaves concentrated their forces, the number of slave soldiers on all sides of Jinzhou City has reached 12 or 30,000, and there are slave soldiers at Baimiao Fort, which is estimated to be no less than 50,000, and tens of thousands in Yizhou and other places. Of course, the specific real number and intelligence cannot be determined, but the slave is so large as the troop layout. ”

Everyone took a breath of cold air, because the Qing troops strengthened their counter-reconnaissance efforts, and the sentinels of all departments were ineffective, and it was only by relying on the heroic sacrifice of the Jingbian army that they did not collect at night that they could obtain this valuable information. Although the Qing army suffered thousands of casualties in the Battle of Loess Ridge, it seems that they are far from being wounded, and their forces are still very strong.

Wang Dou finally said: "All kinds of information, it is already obvious, the thief and slave are the strategy of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and now Shimen Mountain has few soldiers and is easy to capture." If Shimen Mountain is captured, our division can attack Rufeng Mountain in the west, or follow the Xiaoling River under the mountain, and transport grain, grass, firewood and firewood into Jinzhou City in a steady stream. ”

He saw that everyone nodded, it seemed that many people thought this way, he smiled, and affirmed: "This is also a thief's plan!" ”

"A thief's plan?"

Wu Sangui groaned: "But the slave thief intends to attack halfway? ”

Wang Dou said with a smile: "General Wu has high insight and excellent knowledge, and he is worthy of being the tiger general of Liaodong!" ”

Everyone laughed, Wu Sangui was praised by Wang Dou like this, and he was also flattered, and suddenly realized his own psychology, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Wang Dou said: "Indeed, the army of slaves and thieves gathered outside Jinzhou City, how could they watch my division calmly transport baggage? Will be intercepted! ”

He said: "And if you want to control the river, you have to cross the river and occupy the wilderness east of Jinzhou. The thieves rode hundreds of thousands of people, how could they watch my master pass calmly? A big war is inevitable. ”

"The sentinel cavalry returns, now the slave artillery has been concentrated outside Jinzhou City, the slave has iron cavalry, there are sharp guns, if my division crosses the river if there are few people, not an opponent, the division that crosses the river is more, it will wait for the slave cavalry to fight under the city of Jinzhou." …,

"How difficult is it to cross the mountains and mountains? Even if you transport the baggage along the Xiaoling River, it is difficult to meet the needs of the army! ”

Wang Dou sighed: "And the main force gathers under the city, not to mention Xingshan, even Songshan City is empty." And the slave can storm Jinzhou according to the battle situation, and don't worry that our division will not march to the rescue! ”

Everyone frowned and looked at the sand table silently, indeed, Jinzhou City is the weakness of the Ming army, if you don't save it, you can't save it, if you save it, you will fall into the treacherous trick of the Tartars. Everyone originally thought that the Qing army would retreat from Shimen Mountain, maybe they would take advantage of it, but it turned out to be a trap.

There are also many officials and generals who look at Wang Dou and talk about it, and what they say is insightful, and they all show admiration. It was no fluke that Uncle Zhongyong was able to get to this point, only Ma Ke saw Wang Dou in the limelight, and he was very jealous in his heart.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a long time, and asked Wang Doudao: "Does Uncle Zhongyong have a clever plan?" ”

Everyone looked at Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu and others, although they knew Wang Dou's strategy on the road, but of course they wouldn't say it.

Wang Dou said fiercely: "The thief and slave plan is like this, how can we act according to their wishes?" When they went the other way and attacked Shimen Mountain, the main army marched west from Songshan Fort and forced the Daughter River. ”

Everyone was stunned, no one had spoken, and Ma Keji sneered: "Uncle Zhongyong, what's wrong with this pastime for me?" A few days ago, General Wu said that he would attack Rufeng Mountain first and open the main road to the west, and many generals in the field agreed that it was loyal and brave to resist it, and he said that he would attack Loess Ridge and Songshan Ridge first, and now he turned back, and this tossed endlessly, and the loss of troops and salaries was ......"

He smiled and said, "Could it be that Uncle Zhong Yong thinks that the hundreds of thousands of troops in Songshan are all private soldiers?" Can you fool around at will? ”

Wang Dou was furious and shouted: "Presumptuous! ”

He pointed to Ma Ke's nose and said, "My king fights for the heart of the country, how can you be slandered at will?" ”

His eyes were cold: "Several times, cynicism, against me, Mr. Ma, what do you want?" ”

Wang Dou's sudden attack caught Ma Ke off guard, and Wang Dou's unforgiving words made him unable to step down in front of everyone.

His face was blue and white for a while, and he suddenly realized that Fang Cai's own actions were a big mistake, but at this time, it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to force himself and said: "Ma someone is just talking about things." ”

"Just the facts? Are you just talking about things? ”

Wang Dou walked over step by step with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "I know, you have long been dissatisfied with me, is it because of the rout of the army, your clan's relatives Ma Fuming was killed by me?" The army fights, there is no advance or retreat, not to mention the name of Ma Fu, even if you Ma Ke dares to rout and flee, I will kill the same, can you believe it? ”

Wang Dou took a step, Ma Ke took a step back, beads of sweat the size of beans trickled down from his head, and the cold momentum on Wang Dou's body made him almost breathless, and his intestines were blue with regret.

There was silence in the hall, no one spoke, I didn't expect Wang Dou to be so angry that it was so terrifying, and many people were silent.

On weekdays, Wang Dou is peaceful, which makes people inevitably ignore the other side of him, and at this time everyone woke up, this is the strongest army in the world, and he has killed the corpses of slaves and thieves in a sea of blood, not a person who can twist the tiger's beard.

Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai also glared at Ma Ke angrily, the majesty of the general could not be offended, and Zhong Xiancai looked at Wang Dou's figure with shining eyes.

In the strange silence in the hall, a voice sounded, but it was Wang Pu who spoke: "It's too unusual." ”

He was indignant: "There is a way to be at this time and that time, at that time, the thieves and slaves occupied the Loess Ridge and Songshan Ridge, and if they did not capture the Second Ridge, how to ensure the safety of Songshan Fort?" If you don't capture Erling, how can you ensure the drinking water of hundreds of thousands of troops? If you don't capture Erling, you can't talk about attacking Shimen Mountain! Uncle Zhongyong's heart is full of fists, and he is suspected of having ulterior motives, which is really chilling! ”…,

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the generals and officials in the hall spoke one after another, and they also felt that Ma Ke was not authentic.

Fu Yingchong woke up at this time and said continuously: "Indeed, indeed, this is too unusual, it is really chilling." ”

Yang Guozhu also frowned, and said: "If there is any objection, General Ma can be good at words and give advice to the army, is it the way of the general?" ”

Li Fuming, the chief soldier of Shanxi, shook his head, he had a heroic personality, and Ma Ke did this, and he couldn't see it.

Zhang Ruoqi scolded Ma Ke: "Nonsense, the war situation is changing rapidly, the day is the day, the present is the present, how can you be confined to the old normal?" If General Ma has a good strategy, he can say it, how can he be so reckless and make his colleagues feel cold? ”

Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen also frowned, and Zhang Dou, Cai Maode and others looked at Wang Dou with some surprise, and only today did they know Wang Dou's temper.

Zuo Guang first touched the unkempt hair on his face, and said to Ma Ke: "Old horse, if you have something to say, you can say it well, if you have a knife and a stick like this, a certain family can't see it!" ”

Ma Ke's heart was like falling into an ice cellar, and a chill rose up his back, and there were so many people in the field, but no one spoke for him, and he was very depressed. Several Shanhaiguan generals behind him also felt disgraced, and they all remained motionless, lest others notice him.

In the end, Ma Ke's eyes for help looked at Wu Sangui, Tang Tong and others, Wu Sangui's eyes moved, and he said solemnly: "Ma Shuai is a gaffe, hurry up and confess to Uncle Zhongyong." Loyal and brave man is magnanimous, and he will not blame you. ”

Tang Tong played a round and said: "Yes, yes, hurry up and accompany the crime." ”

Ma Ke looked at Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, again, but saw that Hong Chengchou looked displeased, and said in a deep voice: "General Ma still doesn't confess to Uncle Zhongyong?" ”

He looked at Wang Chengen again, also gloomy and unhappy.

Suddenly, Marco's face was full of smiles, and he slapped himself lightly in the mouth: "Look at my stinky mouth, it really deserves to be beaten, it should be beaten." ”

Then he said to Wang Dou again and again: "I am a straightforward person, with a mouth but no heart, don't blame me for being loyal and brave, don't blame me." ”

Seeing that he could still laugh, everyone in the audience admired his thick skin, and even Wu Sangui and the others turned their eyes away.

Wang Dou looked at him for a while, and a smile appeared on his face, and said, "How can Ben Bo blame Ma Shuai?" It's all for the court, and controversy is inevitable. ”

The two of them smiled as if nothing had happened just now, and walked back to the sand table hand in hand.

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, the matter had finally passed, Wang Dou was angry just now, and everyone felt terrified, it was terrible.

Hong Chengchou said solemnly: "This matter is over, and there will be a next time, and the governor will definitely not forgive." ”

Wang Chengen looked at Wang Dou again and again, and said lightly, the controversy is okay, but you must not believe it, otherwise if you miss the major military affairs, he, the prison army, will definitely be impeached.

Ma Ke's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes, yes, the teachings of Hongdu and the prison army, the last general must keep it in mind." ”

Zhang Ruoqi stroked his long beard and smiled, and said: "Okay, okay, it's normal for colleagues to have disputes, as long as it's not a battle of will, it's all welcome, the military situation is urgent, let's continue the discussion." ”

Hong Chengchou coughed, looked at Wang Dou and said, "Fang Cai is loyal and brave to the west, please explain it in detail." ”

Wang Dou nodded and said: "The intention of the thief slave is obvious, to lure my division to the city of Jinzhou, but how can my division be led by their nose?" This is the policy of westward expansion. ”

He pointed to the sand table and said: "My division is attacking Shimen Mountain, and the main force is advancing westward to attack the Daughter River. If you can cross the river, one can solve the thief slave set up in the ditch camp in the south of Jinzhou, the second can attack Jinchang Fort, and the third can attack Baimiao Fort, the strategy is very flexible! ”…,

He said: "Of course, the slave chiefs are not ordinary people, and they must be able to see the intentions of our division. When our division marched westward, they must have dispatched troops to intercept our division on the banks of the Daughter River. There are few thieves and slaves, and I can't stop them, and if there are many soldiers, the slaves besieging Jinzhou will be evacuated, and the difficulties of Jinzhou will be solved immediately! ”

Hong Chengchou nodded slowly, and Ma Ke said in a loud voice: "Wonderful, wonderful!" From Songshan Fort to the west of the Daughter River and Pingchuan, it is very easy to transport baggage or grain, and if the main forces of the two armies hold each other, it is much better than on the side of Shimen Mountain. ”

Wang Dou said with a smile: "That's the truth, Ma Shuai is worthy of being a veteran, and the interests of the soldiers can be seen at a glance." ”

Ma Ke said modestly: "Where is it, compared to the loyal and brave uncle, this handsome is really too far behind!" ”

Hong Chengchou muttered: "In this way, the troops will be divided into two routes, although Shimen Mountain is attacked, but if it can be captured, it will go straight to the riverside, and it will be much more convenient to support Jinzhou City in the future." ”

He looked at everyone in the hall: "I don't know who wants to go and take Shimen Mountain?" ”

Wu Sangui was the first to come out and said angrily: "Yu Hongdu, the last general is willing to go!" ”

Ma Ke's eyes flashed, and he also clenched his fists and said: "The last general is also willing to go and kill the enemy side by side with General Wu!" ”

Tang Tong looked at Wu Sangui, then at Ma Ke, and hurriedly said: "Yu Hongdu, the last general is also willing to go." ”

Hong Chengchou was very happy and said: "Okay, Jincheng is full of evil slaves, and it is urgent to solve it. ”

After the main force of the Qing army was attracted, he should take the opportunity to cross the river and march westward to unite with the defenders of Jinzhou.

He said: "This battle is not a wave war, it will be a surprise, and then you can defend it." Defending, not in vain, must be defended and fought, and then it can be defended. ”

Wu Sangui and the others were respectfully taught, and Ma Ke and Tang Tong were even more chest-beaten, and if they couldn't reach a strategy, they were willing to raise their heads to see them.

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction, for him with an arrogant personality, the attitude of Wu Sangui and others made him very useful.

The next step is to arrange the personnel of the second way.

Wu Sangui's three total soldiers of nearly 50,000 attacked Shimen Mountain. They divided into two routes, all the way to attack Xishimen, all the way along the Xiaoling River, through the sailor's camp, all the way to the Baigu River. The two armies met on the bank of the river north of Shimen Mountain and waited for an opportunity to cross the river.

Ma Ke strongly asked for artillery support from the Shenji Battalion or the Jingbian Army.

However, the intelligence came that the Qing defense line in Shimenshan used a large number of soil bags in advance, and the bombardment effect of the Hongyi cannon solid shells was not obvious. And the mountains are undulating, which is not conducive to the advance of heavy artillery, and the strength of this bandit slave is weak, and the firepower of the car battalions in several towns is sufficient.

After discussion, it was decided that only the Shenji Battalion would support some mortars, fire poison and ash bombs, and some rocket vehicles to accompany them.

Wang Dou groaned, the battle between Shimen Mountain and the future and the Jinzhou defenders is the secondary battlefield this time, and the total strength of Wu Sangui's three troops is still enough.

The key to this battle is the main force to the west, plus to capture the Twin Mountains, Maojiagou and other places, and to prevent the Qing cavalry of Rufeng Mountain, so everyone discussed, Wang Dou, Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong, Li Fuming, Zuo Guangxian and others, as well as Hong Chengchou's Supervisory Battalion, Jizhen remnants, a total of about 80,000 soldiers and horses, all westward attack!

A large number of artillery, rockets, along with the army.

As for the original Liaodong officers and soldiers such as Songshan Fort, they stayed behind to guard the fortress.

After careful deliberation, everyone set a date for the attack on Shimen Mountain, that is, August 13.

When the farewell came out, Marco had a smile on his face, and his face was so grim that it seemed to be dripping.

When Wu Sangui came out, he was stopped by Hong Chengchou, he looked at Wu Sangui and said solemnly: "Uncle, this battle is very important, do you understand?" ”…,

Wu Sangui said gratefully: "The last general understands." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded, watched Wu Sangui leave respectfully, and remembered the incident in the Fangcai Hall, and sighed in his heart: "Alas, with a figure like Wang Dou here, for my Daming, I don't know whether it is a curse or a blessing." ”

Wang Dou led Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai back to the barracks, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "It seems that we should pay attention to Namako in the future." ”

Han Chao and Zhong Xiancai both nodded, deeply agreed.

The daughter river is also known as the Niaoxin River or the Oqin River, the grass and trees are green, like a brocade, especially there are many fish in the river, stepping in the river water, from time to time there are silver carp, carp or something to bump into.

The moon in the sky was crooked, the stars were bright, Xie Yike led the horses, hunched his body, and carefully trekked forward in the river, the cold river water seeped into the iron mesh boots, soaking the inner sock lining, and a feeling of discomfort in the clothes and bathing came to his heart.

From time to time, a cool breeze blows, a slight rattling sound from wading in the water, and some gurgling sounds of running water come to the ears.

The feet were sloppy, sometimes they stepped on the sand, sometimes they stepped on the mud, and some of the damn fish crashed into them in a daze.

None of this affected Xie Yike, he walked forward cautiously and without hesitation, his smart eyes swept over some suspicious places from time to time. His ears were even more erect, and no slight movement around him could escape his ears.

Behind Xie Yike, there were many horses and night warriors, those healthy horses, all the horses had chews on their mouths.

And those who don't collect at night, they don't say a word, just follow one after the other, and take care not to let themselves move too much, so as not to make a loud sound of water.

Like Xie Yike, as they walked forward, their eyes swept over the surrounding field, and their ears were also erected.

Their movements are full of brilliance, like agile leopards.

However, many of these leopards were wounded at this time, including a few horses, and even a few corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, and some of the more seriously injured were also tightly tied to the horses, and each of them endured the pain and did not let themselves groan.

Xie Yike raised his left hand from time to time, and then everyone stopped, even those horses, who were also docile and clever, motionless.

After making sure that there was no movement around, everyone moved slowly again.

Regardless of the carelessness of everyone, at this time everyone was in the daughter river section of the Reclining Buddha Temple, which was also a place where Tartars haunted. Most of those Tartar sentry riders are hunters in the white mountains and black waters, and they are also accustomed to lurking at night, especially when they bring hunting dogs, which is like a tiger with wings.

Those dead dogs, with real noses, smelled the smell of the dead dogs before they went down to the river, and immediately barked wildly, and there were hordes of Tartar spirits chasing after them.

Fortunately, I brought some rabbits with me on this trip, and after I let them out, let those hounds chase the wrong place.

Now that they have entered the river again, the smell is blown away by the wind and carried away by the river, and they are not afraid of the Tartar hounds.

However, before it was time to relax, after crossing the river, this side of the river bank was still a haunt of Tartar sentry horses, and it was necessary to be cautious. Wang Dou had originally planned to hold the Qing army at Songshan, preferably with a large number of enemy casualties.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, and the Qing army stormed Jinzhou, but had to march to the rescue, after all, at this stage, the Qing army was much more than in history, and Jinzhou was more difficult to defend than in history.

He asked Hong Chengchou's staff to carry out the sand table, which was given to Hong Chengchou by Wang Dou a few days ago, there is some terrain in Jinzhou City and nearby, although it is not as exquisite as the sand table used by the Jingbian army, but it is quite rare, Hong Chengchou is regarded as a treasure after it, and it is rare for idlers to approach.

Everyone gathered around, and Wang Dou explained to the sand table: "The topography of Jinzhou City, as large as three sides of the water, the Xiaoling River in the northwest around the city to the south of the city, the daughter river from the southwest of the city to the south of the city, there are hundreds of rivers on the east side of the city, these rivers are not far from the west side of the Xiaoling River Fort, meandering in the southeast into the sea. …,

Wang Dou said: "To the north of Xiaolinghe Fort is Bauhinia Mountain, and to the south is Shimen Mountain.
