Chapter 86: The First Battle of Geldan (2)
The eldest brother's face slowed down quickly, which made Yinzhen secretly admire. Reading a book// I sigh that my cultivation is still limited, and I really don't have the heat. I saw the eldest brother smile and said: "Fifth uncle, fourth brother, just now I took care of the drunkard and treated you slowly, and Yinchu will give you a gift here." Chang Ning didn't even say it, but Yinzhen replied with a smile: "The eldest brother has tormented the younger brother, the younger brother should compensate the eldest brother, and he has just joined the eldest brother's camp and caused trouble." The eldest brother smiled faintly, and then changed the topic: "By the way, this time the fifth uncle and the fourth brother came from the imperial camp, can they bring the holy will of Huang Amma?" Yinzhen and Chang Ning glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and after a while, Yinzhen spoke: "Huang Ama once had a holy teaching, and this battle must be won by Geldan completely, but now the palace reports that Huang Amalong is not in good health, so I am not worried." ”
"What?," The eldest brother was surprised, obviously not knowing about it, which made Yinzhen quite surprised: "Why doesn't the eldest brother know?" The eldest brother didn't care about responding to Yinzhen, but just asked vigorously: "What is the disease of the emperor's ama? Does it matter? Do you want me to wait until I go back to the camp to visit?"
Yin Zhen pondered for a while, and replied slowly: "Huang Ama felt heavy after the rain a few days ago, and the pulse case of the Tai Hospital said that he was weak and feverish, and now he is working with the party. ”
The eldest brother frowned, and there was a bit of questioning in his tone: "Huang Ama is sick, what a big deal this is, I am the eldest son of the emperor, why didn't you inform me?"
Yin Zhen thought that it was inconvenient to answer this question, so he lowered his head and stopped making a sound, he didn't expect that the eldest brother was completely kept in the dark. Is this Kangxi's own intention, or did Prince Yu do it on purpose, or the entire front camp was blocked from the news? The three people in the tent couldn't help but set their eyes on Fuquan. Reading the book// Of course, Fuquan understood what everyone was thinking, coughed lightly, waved his hand and said: "The matter of the lack of safety in the Holy Dragon Body, today is also the first time I have heard of it. ”
The eldest brother's face sank even more, and Yinzhen knew that he was very depressed in his heart, and whether he knew it or not represented the weight of the eldest brother in Kangxi's heart. What the eldest brother is worried about is nothing more than that he is afraid that he has inadvertently lost his holy favor, and he has launched the battle for storage positions early.
Xu is aware of his slight gaffe, the eldest brother cleared his throat in embarrassment, and said: "Suddenly I heard that Huang Ama is not well, Yinchu is really flustered in his heart, and what he spoke just now is not measured, please Uncle Huang, the fifth uncle don't mind." ”
Fuquan didn't plan to care about this, so he waved his hand lightly, and gave the eldest brother another step: "The eldest brother is so virtuous and filial, it should be a blessing for the country." It's all my own family here, so I don't have to see it like this. ”
Yin Zhen didn't want to talk about this, so he opened the topic again: "Uncle Huang, this time my nephew is fortunate to come to the front camp to serve, so I don't want to just watch from the sidelines." You can't kill Gerdan all at once, so you can save some for your nephew to enjoy. ”
Fu Quan turned his face and reprimanded: "Are you playing a child's trick? This time, when the emperor was leaving, he specially instructed my army to try to restrain Geldan when it encountered, and then attack it together when the armies meet." Since you have come, you must obey the orders of the army, and you must not make your own opinions, do you know?"
Yin Zhen was obedient and listened, knowing that at least half of this was actually said to the eldest brother, so he replied loudly and very cooperatively: "Yin Zhen knows, from today on, Yin Zhen will only obey the general's orders." ”
Fuquan's face was pale, and he said: "It just so happens that the fifth brother is also here, just take advantage of this time to talk about the strategy of this battle, and the day after tomorrow it is estimated that Suo Etu, Tong Guogang, and Mingzhu should arrive, and then a few of us will discuss military affairs together, okay?"
Chang Ning nodded hurriedly and said, "It's all up to the second brother's orders." ”
Fuquan said: "I have issued an order for Seh (Dutong) to lead his troops to Bahrain to force the rear of Geldan's flank, Amida and Alani to guard the Chinese army with me, thinking that the middle road is deployed, and Sunu and Peng Chunce should respond to the western flank. When the adults in the study arrived at the front camp, it was the time when our army fought a decisive battle with Geldan. ”
Chang Ning listened attentively, and bowed his head slightly, Fuquan's deployment was in a measured manner, and the layers of fortification were really conducive to the strategy of oppression and attack.
I don't want the eldest brother to interject on the side: "Uncle Huang is actually too careful, Geerdan is only 30,000 people, and he is piled up on the top of Ulan Butong Peak, he has 50,000 heavenly soldiers in front of him, and there are more than 20,000 elites of Prince Kang to block his back road, I only see, there is no need to wait for Lord Suo, Lord Ming, we attacked in one go, Geldan will not dare to be the enemy in front of me, and when he retreats, I will work with Prince Kang, front and back, and take the head of this man." ”
Fuquan's face was unhesitant, but he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "Big brother's courage is commendable, but now the camel city is placed on the top of Geldan Peak to occupy the high mountain, and most of his 30,000 people are cavalry, if he breaks through and rushes down, he is also brave and abnormal, in my opinion, it is better to be safe." Our army took the lead in defeating its vigor with a joint operation posture, and then cut off its way back by encircling and advancing. At that time, he ran out of food and grass, and even if he tried to resist stubbornly, he knew that it would be in vain. ”
The eldest brother was a little stupid, so he responded without yin or yang: "Since the general has a strategy for victory, Yinchu obeys the order." It's just that this Geerdan, a clown-like character who jumps off the beam, actually cost me nearly 100,000 troops to surround and not fight. ”
Yin Zhen saw that the smell of gunpowder in the tent was getting stronger and stronger, so he interjected: "Uncle Huang just mentioned that Geerdan set up a camel city, what kind of name is this?" Fuquan also felt that it was useless to fight any longer, so he said: "This camel city is to tie the hooves of thousands of camels in Geerdan's camp and lie down, and make them carry the stacks of boxes, and then cover them with wet felt, so that they are arranged like a fence, and soldiers are placed between the fences, holding bows and crossbows or guns as a barrier to defend. This camel city, which is spread in the jungle swamp on the bank of the Gaoliang River in front of the peak, echoes the cavalry at the top of the peak, and is indeed the key point where it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Yin Zhen sighed lightly and said, "Uncle Huang thinks how to break the formation? ”
Fu Quan said confidently: "The best policy is naturally to wait for work at ease and force Geldan to lead the army to break through. Our army is in a joint camp for dozens of miles, and the formation is like a grinding, and if it attacks, it will just lure into the urn and hit it. In the middle strategy, the troops should be divided into three ways, and the antlers and guns should be set up in the front formation, and the soldiers should be advanced in Xu, so that Geldan must respond with defense, and give a few days. If you don't talk about it, you just don't talk about it. ”
Yin Zhen understands that this strategy must be the big brother's proposal to rely on the superiority of numbers to attack, although this time the Qing army is superior in numbers and equipment, but blindly attacking, it must be the result of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 yourself.
