"Damn it!" Hearing the report of the sentinel on the flag of the Qing army erected on the city wall of Kunshan and the black smoke and explosions in the city, Guo Hao, the commander of the first regiment of the Right Tiger Division, who led his troops from Taicang overnight, smashed his fist on the willow tree on the left side of the road. (To read the latest chapter of this book, please visit the biquge.info of the wรจn Aishang Novel Network) "Hurry up and catch up or not catch up." "Thinking that the subordinates trapped in the city have been sacrificed, this former general of the Zheng army only felt heartbroken, but the matter has come to this, he can't help but think about what to do next, you must know that the first regiment is now only half of the troops, and it is necessary to divide the troops to protect Taicang, and there is no strength to recover Kunshan is on the one hand, on the other hand, he must not fight hard for the temporary revenge against the superior Qing army." Ordered the whole regiment to retreat to Taicang, and separately informed Jiading and Qingpu, so that they could also recover the divisions. โ
"Domination!" Li Yuan, the fourth sentry officer who was leading the troops in front of the team, immediately rushed back when he heard Guo Hao's order, Li Yuan, Huang Qi, Wu Ziming, and Zhuang Xing were contemporaries of the boy boy camp, so they were naturally unwilling to face such an ending. "Why do you want to collect troops, Deputy Commander Zhuang and Commander Wu are still waiting for us in Kunshan"
"The city has fallen, and a fire has broken out in the city, and it is obviously too late."
"Too late?" Li Yuanqing shouted excitedly. "Even if you really can't catch up and can't save their lives, at least you have to snatch their bodies back and bring them back to Dongning."
"The first regiment is responsible for garrisoning Kunshan and Taicang, and losing Kunshan is certainly a disadvantage for the regiment's garrison, but if even Taicang is lost." Guo Hao understood Li Yuan's mood, so he explained the unhappiness in his heart. "This official also knows that your classmates are deeply affectionate, but if even the fourth post is damaged, will Taicang still guard it?"
Of course, Li Yuan knew the severity, sat down with a butt, howled and cried, and was infected by him, the atmosphere of the entire fourth post was depressed to the extreme, only Guo Hao, who had been in battle for a long time, patted the other party's shoulder wordlessly, and turned around to demonstrate, and the whole team slowly marched back.
Li Yuan cried a few times, and suddenly stood up and caught up with Guo Hao: "Commander, can we still recover Kunshan?" โ
"Don't worry," Guo Hao understood Li Yuan's subtext. "These traitors will not end well, as long as Jiaxing is defeated and the army returns to the division, it should be the turn of these traitors to die"
The change of hands in Kunshan made the Qing army in Suzhou City celebrate, but the 3,000-strong troops attacked the enemy with less than 700 casualties, but paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties, and made Zheng Duan, the governor of Jiangsu, worried about whether to further invest in the army to recover the Songjiang government.
The Zheng army, which had lost half of its regiment strength, also woke up from a dream at this time, and decided to recruit new recruits in Huating, Shanghai, Louxian, Qingpu, Jiading, Taicang, Jiashan, Xiushui, Tongxiang, Haiyan, Pinghu and other controlled districts to deal with the problem of insufficient troops, but because the wealthy people in southern Jiangsu were unwilling to serve as soldiers and some local gentry who were afraid of Zheng Jun's rule were making trouble behind their backs, the progress of Zheng Jun's recruitment was strictly delayed.
No one was willing to recruit without much negative effect, but some of the gentry who were inclined to the Qing court, stimulated by the results of the battle of Kunshan, began to actively organize regimental exercises, which further created a rather serious obstacle to the Zheng army's plan to collect supplies and feed the war with war, and the Zheng army, who was not familiar with the place, was forced to launch a counter-guerrilla war with the local snakes in the occupied area.
"Damn Songjiang, it's here again." Looking at the road-blocking group training that went all the way, I don't know whether the fourth or fifth wave of the roadblock, a violent look appeared on Zhang Qizhong's face. "I want to force Lao Tzu to kill people, right?" Zhang Qizhong ordered. "Protect the grain ship, and each squad is ready to fire a salvo." Dozens of guns were lifted. "Put!"
The dense sound of guns sounded twice, and the people who were rushing forward fell down one by one, seeing the blood of their companions flowing like a river, how could these farmers who had enjoyed a peaceful life for decades suffer, before they rushed to Zheng Jun, they had already turned into birds and beasts and scattered, only those who were about to die were still gasping.
Zhang Qizhong, who commanded the infantry to make up for the fatal stab of these wounded, looked at these still hot corpses and thought about it, and then ordered: "Hang these corpses up, let them see, and be the fate of the Tartar lackeys." โ
After leaving behind the guards guarding the grain boats by the river, the Zheng soldiers, who were itching their teeth, tied these fresh corpses to the willow trees on the shore with the deceased's own clothes according to Zhang Qizhong's order, and a large swarm of flies that smelled the fishy smell descended overwhelmingly, happily occupying the body that was still the length of all spirits for a moment.
While dispersing the flies around him, Zheng Jun, who was walking towards the grain boat, shouted noisily: "What kind of fame is the army doing, it would have been a long time ago to send these people to Dongning like Qiongzhou, but now it has become a disaster." โ
"Silence, it is the will of the Lord not to move the people," a captain of the Guardian Corps on the side hurriedly stopped his companion's gaffe. "And now there is not so much food on Zhoushan Island that can be supplied to the new immigrants, so if you want to complain, you can complain about those gentry who are hard-hearted traitors."
"There's a lot of resentment down there." The complaints of the troops naturally spread to the Jiaxing front-line battalion, and Hong Gongzhu was also very troubled by this. "The key is that the city of Jiaxing has been delayed for too long." Speaking of which, this is not the first time that Zheng Jun has encountered a similar situation, it was precisely because of the long-term deployment of troops under the city of Nanjing, so Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition fell short, and the failure of the second attack on Quanzhou in the Zheng Jing era also marked the decline of Zheng's westward expedition. "Now this official is not afraid of these mosquito-like people and regimental training, but he is worried that the Qing army brigade has been assembled in Huhang, and it will be killed when it shows its decline in this domain."
"Jiaxing's moat is too wide and too deep." Although Sun Youlao is not the most senior in the command of all divisions on the Jiaxing front, he is the most trusted by Zheng Kezang, so Hong Gongzhu must listen carefully to his words. "The number of people we have recruited is limited, and we can't fill it on all sides at the same time, so I built yรฌ and concentrated the breakthrough point in one direction, so as to fall into the city as much as possible."
"But if the people are transferred in one direction, the Qing army will definitely be able to grasp the movements of the domain, so won't the losses during the siege be great?" Zuo Longxiang was under the control of Chen Baoquan when he heard this, and frowned. "We only have more than 20,000 people, if the damage is too large, how should we deal with the attack of the Qing army?"
"The lord did not force us to lay down many state capitals in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, the key is to destroy the foundation of the Qing Dynasty." Sun Youlao explained. "Therefore, after taking Jiaxing, it is the best policy to rush in before the arrival of the Qing brigade, if Brother Bogong feels that he has not enjoyed the fight, he can go south to attack the Wentai line to further mobilize the Qing army after withdrawing to Daqushan."
"Whether it is to attack Wentai is another matter, but the loss of troops is too large, and it is a troublesome matter." Chen Baoquan insisted, after all, Dongning has a small population, and these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still squeezed out, and Zheng Kezhang will feel distressed if the loss is large. "It's better to think of a way to minimize casualties."
"Tongyi, several people are in control, but the lower officials have an idea." Lin Kang, who was a military officer who went north from Hong Gongzhu, suddenly interjected, and Hong Gongzhu frowned, but he didn't say anything, because Hong Gongzhu, who had the highest status, did not say anything to reprimand, so several of them listened generously. "A few adults, the lower officials think that they may be able to attack the west"
After listening to Lin Kang's plan, Hong Gongzhu, who was quiet, asked Sun Youlao and the others: "What do you think of the adults?" โ
"Or you can give it a try." Sun Youlao said. "But it's said in advance that the troops who ascend first can only be the Left Tiger Guard."
"Why?" Yin Mintong's qualifications are much stronger than Sun Youlao's when Sun Youlao was still an assistant general, he was already the deputy chief soldier, and now he lacks a lord, so naturally he will not let this head credit fall into the hands of Sun Youlao. "Can the Right Martial Guard Master be worse than Brother Sun's Left Tiger Guard?"
"It's not like I'm arrogant." Sun Youlao laughed. "Just now, Lin joined the army's strategy, but the big guys have heard it, if you want to break through, it is the north and south roads, the south is blocked by the South Lake and the Southwest Lake, the army can't be unleashed, if you don't break through from the north of our division, do you still take the east side of the right Wuwei Division, that is the east of the sound of the east and the west!"
Yin Min pouted his beard angrily: "Lin Senjun just came up with a draft, how to fight is still to be discussed, why are you sure that you have to have the east city wall to be the east of Shengdong, why can't the north city wall become the east?" โ
As soon as Yin Mintong's tongue twister came out, Sun Youlao's smile became even brighter, but before his more ugly words could be spoken, Hong Gongzhu preemptively said: "Who is the east and who is the west, this is not a problem, let's take the lot." โ
As soon as this statement came out, Gao Yeping, who originally thought that he had no hope, also lit up his eyes, and only Chen Baoquan had a bitter face - just now Sun Youlao made it clear that the Zuo Long Master who was arranged in Nancheng had no chance.
"If you take lots, you will take lots, and my luck has not been bad." Sun Youlao was full of confidence, and when he said this, Yin Mintong was not easy to object, so the three of them were in charge of the gamblers in the tile shop and leaned in front of the shaker. "Hahahaha, I'll just say I'm lucky." Sun Youlao laughed maniacally. "It's God's decision."
Yin Mintong also admitted to gambling and losing, and Gao Yeping himself did not expect the Right Yiwei Division to provoke the beam, so this matter was settled.
The main attack and auxiliary attack were confirmed, and Hong Gongzhu began to chase away the guests: "Tomorrow's decisive battle, you adults can go back and prepare." โ
The generals took the order and left, only Lin Kang said when no one was around: "Tongyi, the trouble-making group training should not be taken lightly!" โ
Hong Gongzhu asked angrily, "What regulations do you have?" โ
"The lower officials thought that although the lord did not mean to move the people, but if the water was not drained, how to cut off the roots of these local snakes, the lower officials thought that they still had to follow Qiongzhou."
Hong Gongzhu gasped: "You are quite bold." โ
"The lower official thought that the general would be subject to the king's order outside"
