Chapter Eighty-Eight: The First Battle of Geldan (4)
Fu Quanyan didn't know the stakes of Big Brother's words. Reading the book// If he insists on sticking to the strategy of counterattacking, then it is very likely that he will be labeled as a hat of putting the king's safety at risk and fearing the enemy, but if he attacks rashly at this time, it is good to win, and if he is defeated, he will inevitably bear the infamy of humiliating the monarch's father and will never be able to turn over. After pondering for a moment, Fuquan asked, "Regarding this battle, does the emperor have a holy will?"
Suo Etu coughed and said, "Before leaving, the emperor only instructed that he would be outside, and the king's order would not be accepted. The situation in the front camp changed, and everything was decided by Prince Yu. ”
The ball kicked back and forth, and finally returned to Fuquan's side. Fuquan was under great pressure at the moment, his brows were furrowed, and after weighing it again and again, he had to say: "At present, the most important thing is that the emperor's dragon is healthy, since the emperor can rest assured that the war will not be in the war, then only by striving for a quick victory can the emperor return to Beijing to recuperate with peace of mind." ”
The eldest brother couldn't help but show a mocking smile on his face, and said in his heart: I knew now, why bother in the beginning.
Fuquan stared at the map in front of him, and after a long time, he said, "Early tomorrow morning, we will send troops." I intend to divide it into three ways, the middle route is led by me personally, the big brother, Suo Xiang, my lord, you act with my Chinese army. The terrain on the right flank is indeed a bit difficult, it is hard for the fifth brother, the 20,000 people you bring can move forward lightly to assault, and the left flank is led by Sunu and Peng Chun, who will detour and wait for the opportunity to attack the camel formation, and try to open the gap, then the left and middle wings can attack together. Amida and Alani held the camp, while the rest of the tribes stood still. ”
As soon as Fuquan finished speaking, the eldest brother jumped out first: "Dashuai, the left wing seems to be weaker, Yinchu please lead the left wing!
Fu Quan originally intended to keep the eldest brother in the Chinese army, so that he could naturally be checked and balanced by himself and Suo Etu. Reading the book // If he is allowed to lead an army alone, with a temperament like him, I don't know what will happen. Fuquan waved his hand and said: "Big brother is earnest for his meritorious service and courage, but don't forget, your duty is to be the deputy commander, and you must assist the king in commanding the three armies, not just the courage of the horseman." This sentence of heart-wrenching words has already been said very seriously, and the eldest brother snorted and stopped speaking.
Tong Guogang saw that the situation was a little embarrassing, so he relieved the siege and said: "What the eldest brother said is not bad, the left wing Sunu and Peng Chun's troops are only 6,000, if you attack the camel formation, the strength is weaker, why don't I lead the troops, and then transfer 2,000 people from the Chinese army to make up for it, what does the prince think?"
After a little consideration, Fuquan nodded and agreed to Tong Guogang's suggestion. At this time, I heard Yinzhen open his mouth: "Commander, the generals just now have errands, but I was the only one who missed me, and Yinzhen, the commander of the firearms battalion, asked for his life to go on the expedition!"
Fuquan's tone turned a little stern: "I said that the rest of the departments are stationed still!" When he looked at it, he saw that Yinzhen's face was full of grievances and disappointment.
Fuquan couldn't help crying and laughing, his tone slowed down, and said, "Fourth Elder Brother, you are still young, but you have no eyes before this battle, how about watching the battle by my side?"
Yin Zhen saw that Fu Quan's tone softened, and naturally he would not let go of this opportunity, and said at the moment: "Dashuai, since Huang Ama asked me to come to the front camp, he wants me to have more experience in the army. Moreover, the people who lead the left and right wings are my Qing Dynasty generals, with great military exploits, the so-called famous teachers can produce high apprentices, and the left and right wings, all have the order to attack the camel city, according to Yinzhen's humble opinion, the key to this battle is the firearms attack, Yinzhen as the commander of the firearms battalion, this is not only the responsibility, but also my strength, and please ask the marshal to agree. ”
Although Fuquan refuted the eldest brother just now, but in the face of the fourth brother he admired the most, he was finally a little soft-hearted, but he really didn't worry about the fledgling Yinzhen on the battlefield like this, if something went wrong, how could it be good? The right wing is Changning, there are many generals, and the relationship between Changning and Yinzhen is also good, and he should take good care of Yinzhen, but the terrain on the right wing is dangerous, it is an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, and there are quagmias everywhere, so the right wing is not suitable for carrying heavy firearms with him, and Yinzhen's so-called 'strengths' are not used. However, the left wing can be considered, Tong Guogang and Yinzhen are Yinzhen's uncles in terms of seniority, and the Tong family will have to point to Yinzhen in the future, so they will definitely try to ensure the safety of the fourth elder brother, and the appropriate Tong Guogang himself also proposed to ask for more soldiers and horses, just to send the firearms battalion, and the terrain on the right wing is good, it is a possible breakthrough, if Yinzhen can become famous in a battle, Kangxi must also be very pleased, Yinzhen has always been close to himself, if the eldest brother is reborn, he can also use the power of Yinzhen to maintain balance.
After making up his mind, Fuquan turned to Tong Guogang and said: "Gong Tong, since the fourth elder brother has been trained and earnest, it is inconvenient for me to brush off his heart, is Tong Gong willing to take the fourth elder brother and the firearms battalion and the forward battalion to attack with the right flank?"
Tong Guogang naturally agreed. It's just that the big brother next to him is not shallow, and he doesn't want to brush Yinzhen's mind, but he just makes me deflated?
Yin Zhen was very excited when he heard this, and said: "Thank you for the success, but the firearms battalion has the responsibility of defending the Chinese army, and Yin Zhen can bring two hundred people and half of the artillery firearms." ”
Fuquan nodded and said, "It's okay, so let Kangkala and his subordinates serve as your guards." ”
This arrangement made Yinzhen overjoyed, and with Kang Kara, a fierce general, the odds of winning have improved a lot.
That night, Fuquan convened a meeting of all officers above the third rank to agree on a plan, and arranged the military affairs in detail.
In the early morning of the second day, the Qing army was divided into three wings, left, center, and right, and marched into divisions. Baozhu, Haiyu, and Mu Chen moved Yinzhen forward in the spot, so that Yinzhen was not depressed. Especially Baozhu, he had to force Yinzhen to change his close-fitting clothes into soft armor. Dressed in a line, Yinzhen estimates that it will weigh nearly 40 pounds, but fortunately, in this era, the body and bones have been trained very well, Rao is so, Yinzhen still feels a little panicked.
Tong Guogang looked at Yinzhen's appearance, and sighed a little: "The fourth elder brother is really heroic, if Empress Xiao Yiren can see it with her own eyes, she will definitely be very pleased." ”
Yinzhen was sad for a while, but it was inconvenient to reveal it in front of people, so he said: "Gong Tong, Yinzhen is the son of Huang Eniang, and he will definitely not embarrass Huang Eniang." Tong Guogang smiled and nodded. He let Yinzhen press the back, Kangkala was in the center, and he led the front team. Yinzhen asked Haiyu to follow Tong Guogang with a hundred firearms battalion soldiers and four artillery pieces.
During the march, Yinzhen's right eye jumped wildly for no reason, making him flustered for a while, and he could only comfort himself by saying that he must be too nervous. Looking at the treasure pillar beside him, his face twitched and twitched, which made Yinzhen secretly amused, but Mu Chen was very natural, after all, he was a person who had been in war for a long time.
