The shape of three-seven-nine

The reconnaissance brigade led by Beiwei has been following and monitoring the rebels since they withdrew from Dengzhou, and has been following them until they have lurked near Huangxian, keeping an eye on the enemy's movements at any time in case they suddenly counterattack and catch the rear by surprise

With the temperament of this cool brother of Peking University, of course, it is impossible to just hide from a distance and observe - in fact, in the past few days, he has even been in the county seat of Huangxian County several times, and he has also grabbed a number of tongues, and inquired about a lot of the most military information, which is just right to be put forward for everyone to analyze at this time

The most important news he heard was that the Battle of Shahe, which decided the outcome of the Shandong War, no longer existed - it could not be fought at all, if according to the "normal" historical process: the rebels and the Ming army should start a war on the 2nd day of October in the Gregorian calendar, that is, on the 19th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and the Ming army won. As soon as Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and others heard the news, they immediately and decisively withdrew from the siege of Laizhou, and on the 18th, the day before the start of the war, they organized the withdrawal of the whole army

If the Ming army can be smarter and take the opportunity to cover up, there are many cavalry Liaozhen military horses, there are Zu Dabi, Zu Kuan, Jin Guoqi, Jin Guochen, the fierce generals of the Liao army bravely take the lead, the rebels will definitely face a big rout, but it is a pity that the official army of the Ming Dynasty has always been slow, and it is a group of civil officials and eunuchs who have the right to decide, and the first reaction of the current opponent to take the initiative to retreat is not to pursue, but to consider whether there is an ambush between this hesitation, so let the rebels calmly withdraw

When the Shandong Xingying, who was responsible for quelling the rebellion, actually received the news of the recovery of Dengzhou City, it was three full days later than the rebels - even if they were unlucky, Qiong Haizhong was responsible for liaising with the Ming court, and none of the Ming envoys had anyone under them After seizing Dengzhou City, Liao Yong, the Jinyi Weinao, only sent one of his men to sneak over the rebel defense line to report the battle situation to the Shandong Xingying, but it was never delivered, and it was estimated that there was an accident on the way

Later, the channel through which the Shandong camp got the news turned out to be a 600-mile urgent report sent from the Beijing division -- the report written by Sun Hao, the head of the military department, to the imperial court was taken by sea, and Zheng Zhihu, who was familiar with the way, sent a ship to go ashore from Tianjin Port and send it directly to the Beijing division, and in two days he went to Beijing to the Son of Heaven and down to Lishu, and there was a lot of jubilation, but the factional struggle in the imperial court never subsided -- a few bigwigs in the military department thought that the Shandong Xing Camp was strong and strong, but it was really not a taste to let a southern division from afar take the lead in building this miraculous feat, so they sent people to Shandong to urge the camp, and the generals of the camp heard the news that stunned them, and finally understood: why the opponent suddenly retreated

It is not difficult to guess that when this "good news" reached the camp in Shandong, it brought not only joy, but probably only the governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian, and the civil officials such as Xie Sanbao might be really happy; The prison army is high and diving, and Lu Zhi and others may not care; As for the chief soldier Zu Dabi, Wu Xiang, Liu Zeqing and other Qiu Ba who are counting on earning military merits to climb up, this is taking away their clothes and food, and the greatest merit of this counterinsurgency campaign is gone......

The Liaodong Army, which was eager to grab the merit, immediately exhausted the whole army, pursued and killed a section fiercely, and killed a lot of miscellaneous infantry who were left by Kong Youde as meat shields, but they had lost the best time to pursue, and they still let most of the enemy troops successfully escape, even if the residents of Laizhou City beat gongs and drums to thank the "heavenly soldiers" for breaking the siege, it could not alleviate their depressed mood

Historically, they were already very fast: they sent troops on the 13th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, won the Battle of Shahe on the 19th, and pursued them on the 28th, and entered Huangxian County -- according to the efficiency of the Ming army, this was already very fast, and now of course it is impossible to delay, according to the confession of several rebel spies captured by Beiwei: the red-eyed Shandong marching army has been fully drawn and is hurrying towards Huangxian, and it is expected to arrive here soon, maybe even within this day or two

"It seems that the decisive victory of Shahe in history is going to become the decisive victory of Huangxian...... And we're likely to take the brunt of it"

As soon as he heard the news brought by Beiwei, Pang Yu immediately made a judgment - the battle of Huangxian was inevitable, and Shi Zaiming's army had already fought another big battle with the rebels here, and won a big victory again, killing 13,000, capturing more than 800, and falling into the sea and dying, and then the rebels completely lost confidence, retreated to Dengzhou City to defend it, and no longer dared to fight in the field

According to the observation of the northern latitude in the past few days, most of the rebels who withdrew from the Laizhou area were originally cavalry, and they were obviously the core strength of the rebels, and the number of infantry has gradually increased in the past few days

For the sake of fate, as long as the movement of the main force of this rebel army is concerned, it is not difficult to make a judgment as long as it is slightly empathetic: at present, the rebels have intercepted and pursued the troops in front of them, tens of thousands of horses are gathered in that Huang County, and it is a big problem for people to eat horses and chew up the daily food consumption, and there is definitely no future to survive if it is delayed, and the best strategy for the rebels is definitely not to turn back and fight to the death with the Ming army in Liaodong, which is eager to grab merit, but to go north, defeat the southern army behind which the strength is weak, only more than 3,000 people, and recapture Dengzhou Mansion. Lean on the city to defend it

As the saying goes, "don't stop when you return to the division", for a large number of mourning soldiers who are eager to flee back to their nests, if they are replaced by other Ming troops, there is still a considerable risk of confronting them head-on, but the Qiongzhou army has no room for retreat, they are not afraid of frontal confrontation, but in this way, it is inevitable to resist the onslaught of tens of thousands of the opponent's army with 2,000 people, which is exactly the situation that the staff group should try its best to avoid in advance

"Unlucky, we seem to be in a bit of a hurry, if we knew that it would be good to land and capture the city a few days later, I'm sorry, guys, time is too dead"

Pang Yu regretted it a little, his original idea was to calculate the time, and when the news of the capture of the capital city came over, the battle of the Shahe River was almost over, so that the strength of the rebels had been greatly damaged, and it would not be a problem to turn back

On the other hand, if you are lucky enough to be lucky, the news will reach the battlefield during the great battle between the two sides, which will be the decisive factor

-- Imagine that just as the two armies in front of them were fighting fiercely, and the Ming soldiers were exhausted to the extreme, there was such a knight who came out of the sky and ran all the way with a banner of "Qiong" in high spirits, bringing the whole army the good news that Dengzhou had been recovered and the enemy's nest had been lost...... The rebels, on the other hand, were in great turmoil, trampling on each other, suffering countless casualties, and failing to form an army, and the officers and troops pursued and killed more than 10,000 people along the way -- all this qiē was due to the prestige of the Qiongzhou army, and was praised by tens of thousands of people on the battlefield, how glorious and proud it would be

…… Therefore, the subordinate sent by Liao Yong specially asked him to bring the "Qiong" flag with him, but unfortunately he couldn't arrive in time, and the rebels got the news early, so the most helpless thing about that day was that the Guanning Iron Cavalry, known as the first town of the Ming Dynasty, was so slow that tens of thousands of enemy troops could retreat calmly under their noses, which was really embarrassing

"Hey, it seems that there is no one surnamed Xiao in the team who can't play this kind of difficult action......

Pang Yu muttered in a low voice, and when he turned around, he saw Ao Sayan holding the "Literary and Historical Record" and turning a few more pages, and then cherished it and put it into the hard leather briefcase.

"I don't need it anymore, the cheat stage is over"

"Then it's up to us to judge...... But there's nothing to worry about, we went to Shandong this time with the intention of fighting a tough battle, and now this opportunity is just right to train the troops."

As the commander-in-chief of the whole army, he was still full of confidence, and he did not pay attention to the mistakes of the staff officers

"Since the Ming army hasn't had time to do it yet, then we will defeat the rebels with our own hands, which can be regarded as trying to understand someone's feelings for their hometown fathers and ancestors...... Okay brothers, rest in peace tonight, and wait for tomorrow to get them."

…………

In order to prevent the enemy from being attacked by the enemy at night, according to the good habit of Zeng Guofan's "hard village", the Qiong navy began to set up camp in the afternoon when it was still dark, and the soldiers dug trenches to build earthen walls, and quickly set up a campsite with strong protection ability before dark

At first, in the eyes of those envoys, the camp of the Qiongzhou army was very irregular - except for a few wooden high guard towers, the whole camp was only covered by trenches and breastworks formed by digging earth, and there was not even a minimum wooden wall. They are very skeptical about it

However, these men were now more acquainted, and did not dare to comment on Shorthair's behavior at will, and sure enough, they soon saw that the Shorthairs began to lay a strange protective equipment on the outermost part of the camp - iron wires made of metal wire, and the branches and branches were full of spikes, and they were grouped into large round rolls, and when they were laid out, they only needed to be loosely pulled apart, and the two ends were fixed with wooden stakes, and a few supports were put in the middle, so that a rather sinister obstacle was formed, and two or three layers were arranged before and after, and some bells were hung on them. Sprinkle a layer of thistle terrestris on the ground in the middle......

In this way, it is a very dangerous thing for outsiders to try to get through

I'm tired, I've been busy revising, and I also signed up to go to class tutoring

It would be nice to finish the exam by mid-May, and I hope to finish it sooner
