After a surprise attack, more than 1,200 Eight Banner soldiers were killed, more than 2,000 Han Army Banners and Guanning troops were killed, and one or two thousand people were burned to death. In addition, Jiang Jiu fled and took nearly 8,000 people and pawns with him.

In addition, more than 300 artillery members were killed, the hired Portuguese regiment was wiped out, and 35 Kamui general guns were blown up. All things considered, the combat effectiveness of the Tartar soldiers has been weakened by at least two percent, while the strength of the artillery has been sharply reduced by more than half.

Although Gu Zhenhua still does not know the exact losses of the Manchu Qing, just looking at the situation in the camp, Gu Zhenhua can say with certainty that the strength and weakness of the two sides have begun to reverse, and the initiative in the war has been transferred to the hands of An **.

Over the next two days, the battlefield finally calmed down. The Qing army outside the city was trying their best to recover the camp, count the losses, and lick their wounds. And on the security side of the city, Gu Zhenhua also gathered all the generals to discuss the next move.

Everyone gathered in front of the sand table, constantly calculating the strength comparison between the two sides and how to break the game.

Wu Kaijie said first: "Grandpa Guo, the threat of Tartar artillery has been lifted, and there is nothing to fear." I think we should take a counteroffensive as much as possible, and at the moment the 2nd and 5th Guards Regiments have not yet entered the battle, and can act as the main force of the counteroffensive, crushing the Tartars in one fell swoop and expelling them from Henan! ”

All the generals present had gone through a brutal battle, all of them were very tired, and many of them were wounded, but when they heard the counterattack, everyone's eyes widened.

Luan Hu took the lead and said: "Grandpa Guo, you can give the order, the brothers can't wait for a long time!" ”

Kang Lesheng also said: "That's right. After a few days of recovery, our troops were able to participate in the war. The brethren all wanted to take on the task of counterattacking, striking at the Tartars, and recovering the mountains and rivers. ”

The big guy was excited, and Gu Zhenhua was also slightly excited, but he knew that this kind of decision was not made lightly, so he set his eyes on Li Jibo.

As the most important senior counselor, Li Jibo's opinion was very important, and the old man weighed it for a long time. sighed.

"Victory is not arrogant or defeated, you have to keep your eyes on the overall situation!"

Gu Zhenhua frowned, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, do you mean to look at northern Shaanxi?" ”

"That's right, I just looked for Yuan Zongdi, and I heard that Li Zicheng's condition is not good."

"Not good? How is it bad? Gu Zhenhua was suddenly startled, if Lao Li couldn't hold it. The main force of all the Tartars is pressed on Ann's body, then it will be troublesome!

Li Jibo said: "Li Zicheng's department has a lot of men and horses, but it also consumes a lot of food. Since the beginning of winter, I have heard that many people have starved to death. And there is also a lack of food and clothing. The Tartar attack was tight, and the casualties were quite large. ”

Gu Zhenhua couldn't help but say: "Yuan Zongdi is a tough person, if the situation wasn't too bad, he wouldn't have said this." ”

"That's right." Li Jibo also said: "The counterattack is good, but once Li Zicheng fails. Both Tartars have fallen on our shoulders, and how much land has been restored. I'm afraid I'm going to spit it out! ”

"This ......"

Wu Kaijie and they all fell into contemplation in an instant, it is true that with An **'s current strength, it is quite difficult to deal with all the Tartars, if there are two Tartars, more than 200,000 troops are pressed over, even if there are three heads and six arms!

Fang Jianming asked worriedly: "Grandpa Guo, do you want to wait for Northern Shaanxi to divide the victory and defeat, and then we will carry out a counterattack?" ”

"Then it's too late!" Gu Zhenhua sighed.

"W-what?" Wu Kaijie said anxiously: "The Tartars have just suffered a heavy blow, and it is a good time to fight back, if you miss it, you will have no chance." ”

Li Jibo sneered slightly: "Staff Officer Wu, you can't just look at the advantages in everything, but also think about the disadvantages, according to the current situation, even if the counterattack is successful, we will only have a few more states and counties." How vast Henan is, we haven't managed it well, and then expanding the territory is just a burden. On the contrary, the counteroffensive will deplete valuable reserve forces, once the Qing army wins in northern Shaanxi, the army is overwhelmed, we have no new army, what will happen to the end, there is no need to say more! ”

Listening to their words, all the generals present looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Zhou Yingjie couldn't help but sigh: "How did you win, it's more troublesome than before, what's going on?" ”

Gu Zhenhua suddenly laughed: "If you win, you will be greedy, and the more you are greedy, the more trouble will come!" ”

"Grandpa Guo, what can you do?"

Gu Zhenhua said with a smile: "Staff Officer Wu's advocacy of a counteroffensive is indeed a bit hasty. But we can't afford not to take action. ”

Li Jibo frowned: "Grandpa Guo, ...... in northern Shaanxi"

"Mr. Li, it is precisely because there is trouble in northern Shaanxi that we must take action. Once Li Zicheng fails, whether we want to or not, we will have to face all the pressure of the Tartars, and when the time comes, it will be even more troublesome! So, we must seize the opportunity in front of us! ”

Wu Kaijie's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Grandpa Guo, do you mean to destroy the Tartar in front of you?" ”

"That's right, our counteroffensive should not focus on the land, but on the living forces of the Tartars, and it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers. Only by crippling and scrapping the Tartars in front of us will our pressure be truly reduced. ”

Li Jibo thought for a long time, and could only nod, it is true that there is nothing wrong with Gu Zhenhua's idea, but it is too difficult to do this. An**'s main force is infantry, and the main force of the Tartars is cavalry, if they really feel that victory is hopeless, they can withdraw, and they will not die at all.

Things do get a little tricky. Just when everyone didn't know what to do, someone suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Grandpa Qiyuguo, the big thing is not good, the duck's mouth is lost!"

When Gu Zhenhua heard the news, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly ran to the sand table, and the others followed.

Yazikou is in the northwest of Xinxiang, at the foot of Taihang Mountain, although the place is not big, but it is between Weihui and Huaiqing, once it is lost here, it is equivalent to opening a shortcut to Huaiqing, and the strategic location is quite important.

Originally, An ** was responsible for guarding the area of Xinxiang in Ji County, and the first line of Yazikou in Sumen Mountain was handed over to Tian Jianxiu's Dashun army. At the beginning, he swore an oath, but at this time, he lost such a key duck mouth, and the generals present were so angry that they scolded one after another.

Li Xu even slapped the table: "Grandpa Guo, if the duck's mouth is lost, then Miyang will not be protected, and if Miyang is lost, Luoyang will not be protected, and the whole Henan will be in danger!" The lowly is willing to ask for orders, and with a group of men and horses, immediately rescue, and ensure that the Tartars are blocked. ”

"Second brother, don't rob it!" Yue Poyu suddenly said: "If two legs can't outrun four legs, I think it's better to hand it over to the cavalry regiment, and we promise to kill the Tartars!" ”

"You two don't fight." Li Jibo said with a calm face: "The distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, the Tartars have broken through the mouth of the duck, I am afraid that they will immediately go south, with their cavalry, we will not be able to catch up." ”

While he was talking, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside, and Yuan Zongdi hurriedly asked to see him. Gu Zhenhua hurriedly let him in.

I saw that Yuan Zongdi was sweating profusely, panting, and the buttons of his clothes were all out of place, but he didn't even notice it.

As soon as he came in, Yuan Zongdi cried bitterly, "Grandpa Guo, the big thing is not good, Marquis Tian lost the duck's mouth, and the Tartar soldiers are chasing them!" ”

Gu Zhenhua had already recovered from the shock at this time, and barely calmed down.

"Marquis Yuan, tell me carefully, what's going on?"

"After Marquis Tian negotiated with you, he took his men and horses to Sumen Mountain, just three days ago, he got the news that a batch of military rations from Tartar had been transported, and it happened that he was also short of food, so he took people to rob. As a result, he was ambushed by the Tartars, and the bastard Nikan set a trap, and the Marquis of Tian was defeated, and after retreating to the mouth of the duck, the Tartars chased and killed, but there were traitors in the city, and the mouth of the duck was also lost! ”

Gu Zhenhua frowned, "According to Marquis Yuan, the Tartars captured the mouth of the duck a day ago, and according to the distance, they should have entered Huaiqing Mansion at this time, and they are probably only two days away from Miyang." ”

Thinking of the danger of the sun, Gu Zhenhua felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. This is too important, once the Tartars occupy Miyang, they can invade Luoyang to the south, and they can also threaten Tongguan!

This is actually a junction between An ** and the Dashun Army, originally Gu Zhenhua took the initiative to give up Huaiqing Mansion to them in order to take care of the Dashun Army, and then picked up the beam himself and blocked Wei Hui.

But now that I look at it, it was indeed a mistake at the beginning, and the Dashun Army is indeed too unreliable!

Wu Kaijie's eyes widened, and he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, Huaiqing must not be lost, otherwise the Yellow River line will not be guaranteed, and the humble and courageous army will be built to help and protect the Yellow River." ”

Gu Zhenhua's mind was spinning quickly, and he was still thinking of a way to deal with it.

Li Jibo looked at it for a long time before he said: "Grandpa Guo, this is a crisis, but it may not be a turning point. ”

"Oh? What does Mr. Lee think? ”

"If there is an army, hold the sun and block the Tartars. Then we concentrate our forces and annihilate the Tartars. Doesn't this coincide with what Grandpa Guo said just now that it is better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers! ”

Gu Zhenhua also calmed down, it is true, the Tartars are in a group, it may be difficult to deal with, but once they are mobilized, the opportunity for An ** will come!

"Mr. Li, although this is good, but who to send to garrison Miyang, the generals of our army are all here, but I am afraid that I will not be able to draw manpower!" Fang Jianming said.

Li Jibo said: "Chen Qianfu is in Luoyang, and there are five battalions of new troops in Luoyang. ”

Li Xu suddenly shook his head: "No, Dad, Chen Qianfu is just a literati, he can't lead the troops, and the training of the new army of those five battalions is only two months at most, how can he fight!" ”

Li Jibo also scratched his head a little, and indeed pointed to the recruits, I am afraid it will be difficult to turn things around.

But when he heard this, Gu Zhenhua's eyes lit up, although there is no general in Henan, there is still one person who can be used, and that is the Red Lady!

Thinking of this woman, Gu Zhenhua's mind was still a little confused, but at this time, he couldn't care about anything.

"Immediately send my order, let the red lady lead the troops, and go to Miyang immediately!"
