Negotiations between Dorgon and Hauge continued, but the breakout between the two Cantons and Australia had already begun, and it was impossible to wait for them to reach an agreement before making a decision.

According to He Yu's suggestion, this time period is the best time to break through, judging from several exploratory attacks, the basic situation is that Azig's attitude towards combat is obviously not positive, he is waiting for Dolgon's negotiations, if this time to engage in a large-scale battle with Zheng Sen, it is obviously an unwise decision.

Dolgon's plan is to let him follow behind Wu Sangui to supervise, as long as the main force of the two white flags follows behind, Wu Sangui will not dare to have other ideas, of course, it is not ruled out that he will fight back on the spot, but this possibility is too low, after all, this guy is not completely sure of things he will never do.

Duoyi Azig didn't want to fight at this time, he needed to preserve his strength to supervise the battle against Dolgon, and prepare for the subsequent annexation of the Guanning army.

Of course, Zheng Sen knew the news, he must not let Azig go like this, and the command of the expeditionary force gave Gong an order to break through the encirclement and carry out counter-encirclement, surround the enemy inside, and then fight in a roundabout way to recover the territory south of the Yangtze River.

This operational plan was drawn up by the Australian Ministry of Defense and the Army Command, so it is impossible to change it; as a participating party, the deployment and operation of the armed forces of the two regions are led and deployed by the expeditionary force, and this is a decision made in order to coordinate and improve the combat capability of the troops by a higher level.

Now Azig doesn't want to fight, and the main force of Haoge around Quanzhou doesn't want to fight, and even Haoge, who is besieging Hangzhou, doesn't make any moves at this time.

It's obviously very weird, not to mention, but also very noticeable, because it's too obvious, and most importantly, the fact that they don't do anything proves that they're on a plan.

In He Yu's view, even if they want to reconcile internally, they must at least do superficial work. It's no wonder that it's so obvious that there is no suspicion of not going to war, so it's no secret at all.

Since Azig did not take the initiative to attack, then the Australian side naturally had to take the initiative to attack, and Qiao Yan, who was defending in Shaoguan, launched a counteroffensive plan with a battalion of Heishui who was on defense.

At this time, there were not many troops besieging Shaoguan, only about 10,000 people, and the Manchu elite was less than 2,000 people, but they still played a very big role in having cannons in their hands.

This learning ability can be said to be quite strong. At least in this regard, it is much stronger than those rigid Ming troops, people know that they are now learning and selling, if those Ming troops can have this consciousness, maybe the number of Eight Banners will not be overwhelming.

The obstacle is only for a while, Qiao Yan was promoted to battalion commander, if he didn't play a trick in this battle, it would be very faceless for him, and others would think that he had relied on his relationship to get to his current position, which he couldn't accept, and of course it was impossible for others to say so.

Qiao Yan had to come up with a complete battle plan. This is what he has to do now, and it is something that he has to face.

The headquarters has given him a clear time, he must break out of Shaoguan within a week, otherwise he will go back to Malacca directly to train new soldiers.

Return to Malacca to train new recruits. This is simply a shame for Qiao Yan, who has always wanted to make contributions, and he doesn't have to mix it up when he returns to Malacca, basically everyone will know that he is not good at fighting, so he was transferred back to Malacca. Now it seems that he must make the determination to break through.

Compared to Qiao Yan's self-esteem, Yu Shan is much smaller, if he returns to Malacca and can continue to serve as the deputy battalion commander. Then he is very willing to go back, even back to his homeland, in his opinion, coming here to fight is simply a chore, helping Daming to fight, and I don't know what these high-level people think.

As a soldier, Yu Shan naturally does not think about more far-reaching issues, after all, in his opinion, he is now an Australian, Daming is just the former birthplace, and there is not much to give him here, on the contrary, there is a sad past here, so he is naturally not so enthusiastic about this place.

Coming to Daming to fight, Yu Shan was more out of a mentality of repaying his kindness, helping Liangguang to fight, he felt that it was a kind of repayment, as long as he helped them win the war, then his kindness would be almost repaid.

Of course, he wouldn't tell anyone this idea, and he only told Qiao Yan secretly in private.

The two of them are young and fellow villagers, so he naturally won't say it, Qiao Yan also knows the character of this guy Yu Shan, and he talks about it, but he may not do it.

It is precisely because of this mouth of his that many times he has caused some unnecessary trouble.

Now is the critical moment to break through, naturally this kind of thing can't be known by anyone with a heart, otherwise they will definitely make a big fuss.

Qiao Yan has already learned the practice of making a fuss once with a heart, and now he will definitely not let this kind of thing happen.

If you want to break out of Shaoguan, I am afraid that he and Zheng Sen need to make a concession, this concession is that one side has the right to break through, and the other side will do its best to contain their reinforcements and prevent them from having the opportunity to help.

Although the cost of doing this will be somewhat, it is the only thing that can be done at present, as long as Qiao Yan's troops break out, entering Hunan and Hubei will inevitably make Azig panic, and the troops defending Zheng Sen will inevitably be reduced at this time.

It is also possible that Hauge will speed up the pace of attacking King Lu and come back to the rescue, which is the possibility that Qiao Yan thought of happening.

As for whether the other party will give the other party a chance to enter the two Guangxi because of their breakthrough, he thinks that this does not exist, once Qiao Yan's troops break out, then the troops in the rear will also follow.

In this way, the emptiness of Shaoguan's defense can be avoided, in fact, Shaoguan only needs a battalion of troops to defend it, and the main purpose of Qiao Yan's troops to break through is to carry out counter-encirclement, and only anti-encirclement can have a chance to defeat Azig's Eight Banners.

Attacking Hunan and Hubei was also just a fake bait, so that Azig misjudged that Qiao Yan would attack and then reduce his troops, providing an effective opportunity for the internal and external encirclement of Liangguang, and it could well divide the Manchu forces.

After all, the two new armies plus the Australian troops, together with the Australian troops, have a total of 50,000 troops facing very great pressure from more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops, and if they want to win, they must adopt some strategies to deal with it. (To be continued.) )
