Chapter 476: Annihilation of the Qing Army
In this battle, we won a great victory, according to my tactics, the Qing army was forced into our trap step by step, and in the end all 20,000 people were destroyed, and none of them survived.
And our losses also made me very satisfied, after the battle, although all the battalions had losses, but the total number of brothers killed in the battle was only 1,000, but only two or three thousand were wounded.
"General, I'm waiting for this battle to be won, all the Qing troops will be destroyed, and there will be no one left!"
Back at the county office, all the generals gathered together, and Ma Ling took the lead in speaking.
"That is, our losses are very small, and the Qing army has no one left, although we are ambushed in advance, and still win more and less, but on the battlefield we should be like this, can defeat the other side with absolute strength, the brothers will lose a few, so it is also a victory for us."
Jin Erpang also clapped his hands, this guy is so excited!
Seeing them so happy, in fact, I was very excited in my heart, and such a victory can help us boost our morale.
But at this time, my heart was anxious, because the 100,000 Qing troops were afraid that they would arrive soon!
"General, why don't you speak, do you have something on your mind?"
Seeing my face, General Ma stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
"Yes, General, our war god, at this time, we should call our brothers to hold a celebration banquet!"
Li Qing was also very happy, and the smile on his face was similar to that of Jin Erfat.
The big mole general didn't speak, and at this time he also came over and asked: "General, I have never seen your face so bad, and today, is there anything else that is haunting you?" ”
I nodded helplessly, since the matter has to be faced, then I will explain it to you now, so as not to be at a loss when we face the Qing army.
"Daqing listened to me, just when we were fighting with the Qing army just now, there was a Qing army of more than 100,000 people coming here two hundred miles away, and the 20,000 Qing army that was destroyed just now was just their outpost!"
Before I finished speaking, everyone exploded at once.
"What? General, you're not kidding, are you? ”
"Yes, General, there was no such news in the previous report, how could there suddenly be another Qing army? And a force of 100,000 people? ”
"General, is your message reliable?"
"General, what should we do?"
Alas, how to be good? I'm also confused now, I haven't got along yet!
"This army is definitely not as good as the usual Qing army, and the 20,000 troops of Dorsheng have encountered us, and the rear troops are bound to hear the news, so they will definitely come to the rescue. Originally, we planned to make an aggressive plan and slowly swallow up this Qing army, but when I knew that there were still more than 100,000 Qing troops in the rear, I knew that if we dragged on, it would get worse and worse, and if they arrived, we would be doomed. That's why I suddenly went out of the city to attack, trying to swallow them before dawn, because after dawn, the Qing army's rescue troops will inevitably arrive. ”
"And this time, thanks to the hard work of the brothers, we only spent one afternoon to destroy the 20,000 Qing troops. And thanks to the big mole general who came to the rescue, if it weren't for the big mole general's 20,000 horses, I'm afraid we would have lost more. ”
After saying that, I think the big mole general bowed, and the brothers at the scene also bowed and thanked when they saw this.
The general hurriedly raised his hand to return the salute, and then said: "You don't need to thank me, I also obey the general's orders, the county is in trouble, I must bring troops to the rescue, but now that the Qing army is attacking, we should get along well with the countermeasures!"
"Yes, General Mole is very reasonable, tomorrow the Qing army will inevitably come to the city, and tonight we are destined to have a sleepless night, now that all the generals are here, then hurry up and find a way to deal with it!"
With that, I walked over to the main seat above and sat down, and everyone sat in the corresponding seats.
"General, do you think we can use this tactic you just went to today to deal with the Qing army?"
Li Qing nodded and took the lead to speak!
"If the Qing army is only a small army, 10,000 or 20,000 people, it doesn't hurt us to use this method, this matter directly annihilates their living force, but our current army is only more than 40,000 people, and the Qing army is more than 100,000, it is not possible to use such a method, we can't kill these more than 100,000 Qing troops, right? Even if we want to kill, we don't have enough troops, unless we have three times their military strength. Otherwise, we're just going to put ourselves in it. ”
With more than 100,000 Qing troops, we can't just kill them, otherwise, we will be punished by heaven!
"The general's words are reasonable, that's more than 100,000 Qing troops, not a bunch of miscellaneous, even if it's miscellaneous, we can't just kill it, more than 100,000 people, when will we be able to kill it?"
Jin Erpang stood up, although these words were more ugly, but the truth is still in it, although this Qing army is hateful, but more than 100,000 people, we can't kill it.
"Then generals, what shall we do according to what you say? The Qing army will definitely besiege the city early tomorrow morning, and when the time comes, the county will be surrounded by water, how can we wait? Although we have tens of thousands of troops, but after all, this is only a small county town, if 100,000 people attack here, how many days can we carry it? ”
Li Qing stood up, frowning bitterly, at this time, he really had more than enough heart and not enough strength.
"If 100,000 people are really lined up to attack the four city gates, we really have no chance of winning, we destroyed 30,000 horses of the Qing army, and there is no one left, this blood debt is bound to be in their hearts, if they break through the county, the consequences are unimaginable, they will definitely slaughter the city to avenge the 30,000 soldiers, by that time, this Li Zi county will still be the county town that is now rich and peaceful? I'm afraid that what I will hear will not be the songs and laughter of the people, not the joyful frolicking of babies, but the wails of dead children and mothers! ”
General Ma's words are indeed the question I am most worried about, 100,000 people attacking the city, can we take the city? If they breached the city, it would be the next hell.
At that time, there were corpses everywhere here, who would bear this responsibility? Isn't it up to me to bear it?
"General Mole, do you have anything you can do now?"
I looked at General Mole, who rarely spoke, and I wondered what he thought.
He is also the lord of a city, and he may have something else to say about this matter.
"General, as the saying goes, attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the people is poor. Although the problem we are facing now is to be besieged, the essence remains the same. ”
General Ma's words waited for the unanimous agreement of all the generals on the scene, and then General Ma said: "This Qing army tiger wolf, although they are here to attack the city, but what is the most important thing for them?" ”
"The army has always been the army, and the combat effectiveness of the people and horses is naturally not to be underestimated, so the army is very important!"
"Of course, what kind of person their commander is is also very important, especially their tactics, a good tactic can not only win a big battle, but also reduce the casualties of the soldiers."
"The army is very powerful, so there are no worries."
The generals also expressed their opinions, and when they were all finished and silent, General Da Mole said: "Everyone is right, but for the predicament we are facing this time, I think we want to repel the Qing army, that is, their supply line, that is, their worries." ”
General Mole said this to the point, I looked at General Ma, he also nodded in agreement, I believe that in General Ma's heart, he also has such a tactic, but it was General Mole who said it.
"The Qing army has more than 100,000 people, and we can't win if we collide with it, but they fight, so they need grain and grass, this is an army of more than 100,000 people, and the grain and grass consumed every day is really not a small amount, and we, as long as we can cut off their grain and grass and let them face the dilemma of lack of food, then they will retreat without a fight and leave by themselves."
General Da Mole said this very reasonably, the Qing army came from afar, their most important thing is grain and grass, if we can destroy their grain and grass, then they will return by themselves.
"Okay, this method is feasible, then the Qing army is from Yunnan, and they are not familiar with the geographical environment here, so don't we have the final say on what they want? In this case, we did this with the aim of destroying their grain and grass, so that we could repel these Qing troops. ”
I applauded the case, and said: "It's just that this task of destroying the grain and grass of the Qing army is huge, we can't go directly, and we must be prepared for whoever we send and what follow-up rescue troops will do." ”
"General, what else is there to choose from here, the matter of destroying grain and grass, then naturally I will go!"
General Ma stood up and volunteered.
But Li Qing stopped doing it at this time, and also stood up and shouted: "General, this war horse general is already physically and mentally exhausted, why don't you let me destroy the grain and grass of the Qing army, and let General Ma help you defend the city?" ”
The generals in the army are divided into four teams, General Ma, Li Qing, Jin Erpang, and General Damo, Jin Erpang has 2,500 men and horses under his hands, he is the weakest, and naturally he can't do such a thing at this time.
And General Damo, he came to the rescue, 20,000 horses and horses came for a long time, and let them destroy the grain and grass of the Qing army, which is even more unrealistic.
Therefore, the question now is General Ma and Li Qing, who is the most suitable for the two of them. ”
