Chapter 54: The Danger of Being Caught Between Two Sides (Ask for Subscription)
In response to the rumors that were unfavorable to Princess Kunxing, Chongzhen had no choice but to strictly discipline Princess Kunxing. Queen Zhou even proposed to Chongzhen, is she considering marrying Princess Kunxing to Zhou Shixian? After all, they've had this idea before! It's just that who knew that Princess Kunxing had Zhang Biwu in her heart, so she gave up the idea of marrying Princess Kunxing to Zhou Shixian.
Chongzhen waved his hand, although he agreed in his heart to marry Princess Kunxing to Zhou Shixian, but now he knows that the Qing army of the Dao Dao is full of spring grass, using the territory of the Ming Dynasty as a horse ranch, and also going around to loot property, which is really infuriating! When Chongzhen thought of this, he was so angry that he wanted to go berserk.
Zhang Biwu's army is already quietly approaching, and it seems that it is going to fight with the Qing army! At this time, Princess Tikunxing and Zhou Shixian will not make Zhang Biwu unable to defeat the other party with all his might? Moreover, Zhou Yanru also led Qinwang from all walks of life to attack the Qingming army, and he could not take advantage of it. For this reason, Chongzhen held back.
Just as Chongzhen thought, Zhang Biwu immediately set off with his army, and his steps were very brisk to approach Texas. Dezhou is the north gate of Shandong, Dezhou is stubbornly defended, and the Qing army cannot break it, but the surrounding Lejiao and Qingyun have been broken by the Qing army, and the main force of the Qing army is still stationed in the Nangong area.
Zhang Biwu had already received the information, he knew that Zhou Yanru came faster and earlier than him, but Zhou Yanru did not order the army to attack, and no Ming army dared to fight against the Qing army.
There is still a part of the Qing army that has penetrated into Shandong to do whatever it wants! This battle has to be fought! Zhou Yanru, who was just timid, didn't dare to fight by himself, but instead issued a combat order to Zhang Biwu, and urged him very urgently.
Zhang Biwu continued the order. After watching it over and over again, he smiled. Say, "Good! Then we will immediately go to Nangong and fight with the main force of the Qing army in Nangong! ”
Han Runchang looked at Zhang Biwu. said: "Biwu, you should be able to understand the predicament that our army is facing now, right?" ”
Zhang Biwu bowed: "Master, I know the way!" Abatai is not as stupid as he thinks! He must have wanted our army to go to Nangong to fight him in a decisive battle, or go south to Texas. Now the Qing army is divided into two groups, one in Hebei and the other in Shandong, if we attack Shandong, then Abatai in Hebei will lead the army to attack us. If our army attacks Abatai, then the Qing army in Shandong will also quickly come over and attack the rear of our army. The Qing army was dominated by cavalry. Their mobility is very fast, and it's very easy to pull off the two-sided attack they expect! No matter which side we attack, we are in danger! Not to mention ......"
Zhang Biwu looked at the map, he pointed to the place where Zhou Yanru's troops were stationed, and shook his head.
Han Runchang had already understood that Zhang Biwu meant that even if they were fighting, Zhou Yanru might not necessarily oversee the army to fight side by side with Zhang Biwu and them, unless the war was favorable. Otherwise, the cowardly Zhou Yanru would not dare to send a soldier.
Lin Xiangfeng asked: "In that case, why do you say that you want to go north to fight with the Qing army in Nangong?" Indeed, as you might expect, it would have been a fierce battle between our army and the main force of Abatai. The Qing army in Shandong will soon appear to attack our rear, and Zhou Yanru and others cannot be relied on! ”
Zhang Biwu smiled and said, "Ha Lu Ha! None of our Ming army dared to attack the Qing army. Let the Qing army scatter horses to graze horses in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, which is a great shame for the Ming Dynasty! Therefore, there must be a Ming army to attack the enemy with a straight face! What's more, the soldiers are treacherous! Giggle! Rest assured! We won't just have more than 10,000 people fighting against the Qing army! Then you will see the arrival of the 100,000 army! ”
"Huh?" Lin Xiangfeng and Han Runchang didn't understand what Zhang Biwu meant in his words? Will you see the arrival of an army of 100,000 later? Where did the 100,000 army come from? The elite of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the Battle of Songjin. The subsequent rout in Zhuxian Town has greatly reduced the strength of the Ming army? Where else did the army of 100,000 come from?
The troops that the Ming army was able to draw from have now been delivered to Zhou Yanru. It has been concluded that Zhou Yanru will not come to help, so where did he say that the 100,000 army came from?
However, what Han Runchang thought of was: "Biwu, even if our army sends a part to attack Abatai in Nangong, it is difficult to do it if the remaining part is to block the Qing soldiers who are rapidly moving north from Shandong!" After all, the Qing army had 100,000! Very brave! There are more than 15,000 of us! The enemy army is almost ten times more than ours! We may not be able to compare with them in terms of individual combat ability! ”
Zhang Biwu seemed to be full of confidence, which made Han Runchang and them puzzled, where is Zhang Biwu's self-confidence?
Zhang Biwu looked at the map, poked it from time to time, he seemed very happy, he just saw how this battle should be broken and shocked.
Of course, when Zhang Biwujun was in Beijing, the labor army that got the crown prince and the princess Kunxing had already been detected by Abatai.
Abatai looked at the map, and he walked up and down again, and in front of him sat the accompanying Zhubel.
"Report!" Hou Qi quickly ran in and reported: "I have been ordered to be a general, and Zhang Biwu's army has decided to advance quickly to Nangong County!" And the Ming armies led by Zhou Yanru are all standing still! ”
Abatai still took a cautious and cautious attitude, he said: "If Zhou Yanru doesn't dare to move, Zhang Biwu will have no backer!" Even if he can call on the people of Hebei to rise up against our army, these people who have not picked up the knife are of little use, and can only be slaughtered! Is there some conspiracy on his part? ”
His third son, Bolo, said: "Father, our army is grazing horses in the Ming Dynasty, which has caused the Ming Kingdom to lose face. Zhang Biwu has to fight, and if he doesn't fight, he has to fight! If he fights, even if the whole army is annihilated, he will have the face to dare to resist! If they don't even dare to fight, they will have no face in Mingguo! Even if you know that you will lose, you will definitely fight! ”
"Yes!" Boheto said: "The third brother is right! Father, but we should be careful! ”
Abatai pointed to the map and said, "Even if Zhang Biwu attacks us with an army, if his army goes straight to Shandong, he will definitely be defeated!" Dividing troops is the stupidest thing in the world! If you can't win all of them, you won't lose badly! What the hell was going on in his mind? He can defeat our army repeatedly, this opponent should not be taken lightly! When Songjin Weizu Dashou and Hong Chengchou were in time, I saw his boldness! ”
They were all silent, and they couldn't figure it out. Abatai said: "The emperor appointed me as a general under orders, and he attacked the Ming army with the power of victory, and the Ming country was out of breath!" At the same time, it also gives the thieves in the Ming Kingdom a chance! When the emperor went out of the army, he repeatedly told me that what I was most afraid of was this Zhang Biwu! ”
Abatai then set his eyes on Fei Yangguo and said, "Sixteenth brother, can you see what Zhang Biwu's intentions are? Can you see what he's trying to do? He really just wants to fight a battle and justify the name of the Ming army? ”
Fei Yangguo stood up and said, "Seventh brother, I can't see what his intentions are!" He often does amazing things! But if we are scared and disturb ourselves, it will be dangerous! ”
Abatai sneered and said, "Sixteenth brother, the men of our Xinjue Luo family definitely don't know what it means to be afraid!" Saying that, I'm expecting him to come! ”
As soon as he said this, Baylor and Beizi all stood up, and they were excited, and said loudly: "Yes! We are going to fight Zhang Biwu! ”
Abatai laughed happily, he knew that as long as the courage of the people was commendable, their Qing army would be invincible, and they would not be afraid of any enemy!
Abatai said, "Give me a close eye on Zhang Biwu's movements!" As long as Zhou Yanru doesn't send troops to attack with him, we won't be afraid of him! There are only more than 10,000 people, and we are 100,000! Almost ten times as much as him! What's more, we are the children of Eight Banners! It's a brave Qing warrior! There is nothing in the world that can be afraid of us! ”
"That's right! That's it! Everyone raised their arms and shouted! They seem to be in a crowd!
When Abatai saw this, he was very happy, and he thought that as long as his army had such morale, who would he be afraid of?
Zhang Biwu did not divide the troops, he knew that if he divided the troops, then his army would be greatly reduced, this is the way to defeat, he will not do this.
Zhang Biwu's whole army had arrived in Nangong and was still opposing the Qing army, but he did not immediately attack the Qing army as Zhang Biwu claimed. Instead, it's about maintaining a standoff. In this way, it will be beneficial to the Qing army, and the Qing army's men and horses in Shandong have heard that Zhang Biwu's army has been dispatched and began to mobilize, and they will soon be able to enter the territory of Nangong to attack Zhang Biwu on both sides.
In this regard, Abatai had to wonder, the situation was so unfavorable to Zhang Biwu, why did Zhang Biwu still seem to have nothing to do? Nothing at all?
Abatai couldn't help but go outside to look at Zhang Biwu's camp from afar, and saw that it was waving in the wind. He was surprised, so he asked the people around him: "Do you know what happened to Zhang Biwu?" ”
Someone replied: "Zhang Biwu is already the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and he has constantly written a chapter saying that he will summon up the courage of soldiers to fight to the death with us!" And after Zhou Yanru heard Zhang Biwu's continuous recitals, he also gave an excerpt to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, saying that he would also lead the men and horses to fight our army bloodily, but Zhou Yanru is a coward, and it doesn't rain when thunder strikes! ”
Abatai was satisfied with this and said, "Good! That's it! The emperor of the Southern Dynasty did not trust Zhang Biwu, Zhang Biwu's situation was dangerous, and now that he had made such a recital to the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, he had to fight to the death with our army! Ha! There is no good emperor, even if you have the ability, you can't do it! We just have a good emperor to make our Qing army invincible and invincible! ”
When they said this, everyone shouted, "Yes! Long live the Emperor! "They are all happy to have a good emperor like Huang Taiji.
They rejoiced too soon! The drums of war are sounding! (To be continued......)
