Hong Chengchou was really panicked this time. Please search (product # book ¥ net) to see the most complete! The fastest update!
He originally wanted to keep his composure as much as possible, and try his best to give the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops under his command an image of being calm and wise in the face of danger, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing the morale of the army.
But now, as soon as he heard the news that Yangwu was lost, the grain and grass were burned, and the Sunjia Ferry was also occupied, he finally jumped up uncontrollably and hurriedly issued a military order to seize the Sunjia Ferry.
Not only Hong Chengchou, but other major generals of the Qing army also began to panic.
In fact, no one needs to explain that the destruction of grain and the cutting off of grain routes and back roads already means the defeat of the war.
It is impossible for the main generals of the Qing army, such as Hong Chengchou and Le Kedehun, not to understand this military common sense, and naturally they also know that now the Qing army has no hope of going south to destroy the Ming, and the most important thing for them now is whether they can retreat with their whole body and whether they can recapture the Sunjia Ferry.
The offensive and defensive were quietly shifted, and in just two months, the strategic situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to gradually change.
Luck Dehun didn't say anything more, and he didn't express his opinion again because Hong Chengchou ordered Zhou Ze to go south to seize the Xingshan camp, he only knew how to keep his thousands of Manchurian iron horsemen from retreating, and as for Zhou Ze, the clothed minion, he didn't bother to care about it anymore.
Wu Sangui, Jin Li, Meng Qiaofang and other Qing generals also only glanced at Zhou Ze sympathetically, and now they all understood that the army was definitely going to retreat, and Zhou Ze was actually just a chess piece discarded by Hong Chengchou, so as to achieve the purpose of attracting the main force of the Guards and blocking the Guards.
Zhou looked depressed.
Of course, he is indeed depressed now, but what he is depressed about is whether the guards of his Ming court to seize the river defense area such as Sunjiadu can withstand the main force of hundreds of thousands of Qing troops when Hong Chengchou's hundreds of thousands of Qing army forces work together to seize the Sunjia Ferry and other river defense areas.
It is conceivable that the main force of these hundreds of thousands of Qing troops will definitely attack the river defense with all their strength in order to survive and retreat with their whole body, and even the generals of various departments will no longer talk about it, for example, even his current Lord Belle will no longer speak for himself, and he will also obey Hong Chengchou's words.
Zhou led an army of 50,000 in the opposite direction of Hong Chengchou's main force of more than 300,000 Qing troops, and he deliberately walked slowly to show how reluctant he was.
Hong Chengchou also knew that he was definitely unhappy, but Hong Chengchou didn't have the heart to care what Zhou Ze thought, who else was more suitable for a clothed slave who was born in singing and opera by kneeling and licking the martial ministers of the Manchu master.
Hong Chengchou felt that he was at least Zhou Ze's noble personality, after all, he did not be a clothed minion, nor did he take the initiative to kneel and lick like Zhou Ze, he was invited by Xiaozhuang and Dolgon to assist the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, it is precisely because he saw that Zhou Ze was reluctant and not particularly active, and Hong Chengchou had some contempt for Zhou Zeben, and he would not have thought that Zhou was the biggest spy buried in the Qing court by the Ming Jinyi Guard.
Contrary to the main force of Hong Chengchou's Qing army, Zhou Ze finally found an opportunity to contact Jinyiwei, and he hurriedly called his own soldiers, that is, Li Yongxing, the captain of Jinyiwei: "Immediately pass the news to the other side, Hong Laogou has ordered more than 300,000 troops to seize Sunjiadu and river defense, and ordered Henan Governor Zhou Ze to lead 50,000 troops to attack the Xingshan camp, which is now only a day's journey away from the Xingshan camp!" Be quick! ”
Li Yongxing nodded, and sneered at Zhou Ze in order to hide people's eyes: "Master, it's finally not snowing, should we continue to hurry?" ”
"What a hurry, rush to death! Pass the order down, camp in place and rest for a day, it's not too late to set off early tomorrow morning, you go and get me some wild things, grandma's, these days the mouth has faded out of the bird, if Lao Tzu can't see the meat today, Lao Tzu wants your head, hurry up for Lao Tzu, rub what, dog slave! ”
Zhou Ze showed that he was in a very bad mood, and scolded Li Yongxing, the captain of the Jinyi Guard, who was lurking as his own soldier, and Li Yongxing acted very aggrieved and left with a bow and arrow.
And Zhou regained his smile after returning to the camp, and he tasted tea leisurely, he had to try to find a way to delay the time a little longer on the grounds of fear of death, so that the Ming court could make a more adequate response.
"I don't know what happened to the four girls, did you miss me, alas, with the affection that the uncle promised the four girls, I have to do this errand well, and I can't make the slightest mistake, otherwise this group of Tartars will doubt me, and it will hurt me Zhou Ze is small and the four girls will be big."
Zhou muttered to himself.
……
Here, Li Yongxing found Chu Linxi, a brocade guard dressed as an orion: "On the opposite side, Hong Chengchou's main force of more than 300,000 has set off to prepare to recapture the Sunhe ferry and river defense, and Henan Admiral Zhou Ze led 50,000 green battalions south to capture the Xingshan camp, which is less than a day's journey away!" ”
Because Wang Gang and Lu Zhenfei were trapped in Kaifeng City, of course, they also had the intention of monitoring Lu Zhenfei, so Jinyi Wei Chu Linxi directly presented the news to Wu Mengming, the commander of Jinyi Weidu.
At this time in the Xingshan camp, Zhu Youzhen also happened to discuss with Qin Liangyu about the main force of the Qing army in the encirclement of Hong Chengchou.
"If I were Hong Chengchou, after discovering that the main force of the Guards appeared on a large scale, the first thing I thought of was how to seek stability and self-preservation, and I must first determine whether the ferry and grain road are still in my hands, and then whether Xuanwuwei is in my hands, if these two places are gone, he will gather forces to recapture these two places and then seek to retreat."
Zhu Youzhen analyzed it very seriously.
Qin Liangyu also nodded: "As Your Majesty said, this Hong Chengchou has always been stable in his battles, but this person is suitable for fighting a smooth war, and he is quite disciplined in fighting steadily, but this person has always been greedy for vanity and narrow-minded, because of this, his combat achievements back then were not as good as Lu Gong, this person is sleek, and he is excellent as an official, and he will never forget to exclude dissidents at any time. ”
"Report! News came from the opposite side, Hong Chengchou led more than 300,000 Qing troops to prepare to attack Sunjia Ferry and River Defense together, Sunjia Ferry and River Defense have been occupied by our Guards, and at the same time, Henan Governor Zhou Ze has led 50,000 troops to the Xingshan camp to press! ”
Wu Mengming, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, immediately informed Zhu Youzhen and Qin Liangyu of the news.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Qin Liangyu with some consternation: "Sure enough, as Qin Aiqing said, Hong Chengchou is also quite decisive, his Manchu master's forehead does not save it, not to mention that he doesn't even care about the first-class prince He Luohui, he only wants to recapture the ferry and flee back to the north, but now it is Qin Zuoming's department of the First Corps of the Third Army of our Guards Army that occupies the ferry, and Qin Zuoming can resist the attack of more than 300,000 Qing troops?" ”
Qin Zuoming is Qin Liangyu's nephew and Qin Minping's orphan, so when Zhu Youzhen asked like this, Qin Liangyu couldn't help but let out a long breath: "But please rest assured, Your Majesty, this child Zuoming is as stable as his father, he participated in the battle of Shenyang with his father back then, and he also faced several times the enemy without retreating, and now he can naturally hold the Sun family ferry." ”
