Chapter 278: Hangzhou beauties are all over the world

"Liang Guogong, you want to fight Hangzhou?"

Chen Cao smiled, then lowered his head and said: "Hangzhou and Songjiang are close at hand, if I don't take Hangzhou, how can I sleep peacefully on the side of the couch?" ”

Nanzhili and Zhejiang are the wealth of the dynasty, if Zhejiang is lost, it will be a major blow to the northern court, but Hangzhou Jiancheng is not easy to capture.

"In order to completely solve the enemy in the south, I can fully deal with the threat from Nanjing, Hangzhou bears the brunt, and the annihilation of Hangzhou's living forces is also the top priority.

Now Huang Sihai is Chen Cao's captive again, and it is not a small problem to tell Huang Sihai everything: "My father heard that the beauties of Hangzhou are like clouds, but the last time I came to Hangzhou, I didn't have a chance because there were too many things. ”

Zhao Xin's eyelids twitched: "Can Grandpa's body stand it?" ”

Chen Cao smiled evilly: "Don't worry, I'll reward you two more when the time comes." ”

The conversation between the two put Huang Sihai aside, what kind of person is this, he actually talked about the beauties of Hangzhou in the case of a war, which made Huang Sihai feel that he was in the wrong place.

But then Chen Cao asked people to take Huang Sihai away, and Cen Rui was brought in.

Cen Rui is a good man, seeing that Chen Cao is neither humble nor arrogant, with a righteous face, Chen Cao looked at the Guangxi Tusi official in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh that Guangxi people are arrogant.

"A certain family was named the Tusi of Guangxi by the emperor's grace, and I advised the Duke of Liangguo not to have the intention of persuading him to surrender."

Chen Cao shook his head: "There are all firearms troops under the command of this duke, and they will not fight hand-to-hand with cold weapons in battle, no matter how strong you and other Tusi soldiers are, they will not be able to integrate into our army." ”

"If you don't persuade him to surrender, then ask Liangguo Gong to kill him."

"It's really a good man..."Chen Cao nodded very appreciatively: "You are the Tusi of Guangxi, and the King of Fu raised troops because the current emperor is not in the right position, and you can be regarded as a rebellious person, but this Gongnian has been guarding Guangxi for many years, and most of the Tusi soldiers are fighting in Liaodong, and they will not kill you, but now the time is special, I Songjiang and Suzhou have been affected by the war, so you and other soldiers, including Huang Sihai, will enter the prisoner of war camp, rebuild the city, and perform well, you can be amnesty." ”

No one said that they would die, Cen Rui was also shocked when he heard this, but he didn't say much, so he was escorted away by the soldiers.

"The order is that all armies are reorganized, and the combat units with complete formations of divisions and regiments under the army are assembled and on standby, and after the preparations are completed, the whole army will go south to attack Hangzhou."

Everyone was in high spirits, and they all responded with 'yes'.

...

As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, Zhang Yangming, who was defeated by Chen Cao, did not have time to collect the defeated army, so he fled with Huang Chongtao, and even ran towards Jiaxing Fucheng before he had time to carry the materials and equipment stored in Jiashan County.

It's just that the thing that shocked them was that less than thirty miles behind them was the headquarters of Yuan Shizhong and Wang Xiaojie who were pursuing, and after the two sides met in Jiashan, the Zhejiang soldiers were defeated and defeated.

Moreover, Zhang Yangming's command is full of guards and guards, and there are only 2,000 governors and Huang Chongtao's poor 700 guards who can be called elites, and the remaining 40,000 guards are now retreating indiscriminately without an organization, and there is no time to retract.

Jiaxing Mansion City can be defended, but I don't know if Zhang Yangming was frightened, so he actually ordered Huang Chongtao to lead all the guards to garrison Jiaxing Mansion City on the spot to resist the enemy, and he took the patrol soldiers to Hangzhou in the starry night.

Wang Xiaojie and Yuan Shizhong joined forces to chase after them, and fully dispatched two divisions of troops, and when they arrived in Jiaxing City, tens of thousands of guards were running into the city.

After all, the city gate hole is not so big, tens of thousands of people can not all enter at once, when most of the people are left, Wang Xiaojie arrived first, and when he saw this, he immediately ordered a random gun to be fired from behind, so that those guards cried and shouted for their mother, and the city gate could not be closed.

Seeing this, Huang Chongtao ordered the defenders of the city gate to block all the remaining more than 10,000 people outside the city, and it was this order that made the soldiers who were still at the city gate suddenly mutiny, turned against the water, and shouted the slogan of 'Qingjun side' and rushed towards the city gate.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaojie immediately ordered his subordinates to stop the attack, and tens of thousands of people watched the excitement behind him.

People's desire to survive under the limit is very strong, there are wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, so what if they rebel in order to survive?

Moreover, the composition of the guards convened by Huang Chongtao is very complicated, and many of them have even pulled the old guys in their fifties into the battlefield in order to make up enough soldiers.

Therefore, Wang Xiaojie was ecstatic in his heart when he pursued this group of guards, which was simply a military feat to walk in front of him.

"Throne, the guards have entered."

"Order, let Yuan Shizhong lead his troops to surround Jiashan County, and definitely not let one person run away, and the rest of the troops will attack..."

When Chen Cao arrived at Jiaxing Mansion with more than 50,000 people in three divisions, including the Shence Army, the Tianxiong Army, and the Shenwu Army, he got a piece of news that made him want to laugh.

A regiment of Yuan Shizhong's department forced the surrender of more than 40,000 soldiers under Huang Chongtao's department, and there was only one regiment responsible for guarding these surrendered troops, that is, Yuan Shizhong, who stayed behind, led a large army to chase Wang Xiaojie to Hangzhou to kill.

Chen Cao saw Huang Chongtao kneeling in front of his horse, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Commander Huang, your dignified commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, was actually robbed of your military power by his subordinates, how did you say that you were the commander?" ”

Huang Chongtao is not as good as Huang Sihai, who was born in the town, and since the Tumubao after the Ming Dynasty's guard system began to gradually erode, to the Jiajing Rebellion, it completely broke out, so that there were 68 Japanese robbers to beat the ugly city of Songjiang Fucheng, and more than 1,000 Japanese robbers rushed to Nanjing City to show off their might and then arrogantly left.

At that time, the Nanjing defense force was 150,000, and the Japanese robbed all parts of Nanzhili along the way, and the Nanjing garrison Wei Mansion was even more reprimanded, and dozens of commanders and general soldiers of the Nanjing army were withdrawn.

With these lessons from the past, Huang Chongtao, the commander of the capital in a rich land, is even more in the gentle township, and he has been the commander of the capital for so many years, except for the rebellion in Zhejiang, there has been no major chaos, and he himself has just commanded it.

Chen Cao shook his head in disappointment: "Order, leave another regiment of men and horses to help guard, in addition, bring Commander Huang and all the commanders of the capital, let's go to Hangzhou together." ”

More than 50,000 people marched for seven days and finally arrived at Xinguan in the north of the Hangzhou Canal.

At this moment, there is a big battle on the battlefield ahead, Wang Xiaojie and Yuan Shizhong, who arrived two days earlier, are shelling Beixinguan Village, and those who hold Beixinguan are 3,000 patrol soldiers under Zhang Yangming and nearly 10,000 Hangzhou guards.

Because Zhang Yangming returned to Hangzhou from the canal by sand boat from Shitang Bay after escaping from Jiaxing, Wang Xiaojie, who was chasing behind him, could not find enough sand boats, so he could only let one boat continue the pursuit, and the rest of the men and horses could only walk along the canal.

And Wang Xiaojie's troops only carried tiger squat cannons because of the pursuit, so there was really no way to rely on the defense of the canal in Beixinguan Water Village.

The only way to send a commando team with grenades and bombs to the gate of the water village near Beixinguan and throw it in to strike.

After the arrival of Chen Cao's army, Wang Xiaojie asked Yuan Shizhong to continue to command, and then naturally went to see Chen Cao.

"Grandpa, the Weisuo army in Beixinguan Water Village has a fierce sense of resistance, and all kinds of firearms are used, in order to avoid increasing casualties, the last general can only wait for the arrival of the grandfather's army."

"Where is Zhang Yangming?"

Wang Xiaojie said: "I have entered the city of Hangzhou two days ago, and there are not many guards in the city of Hangzhou at the moment; However, according to the evidence of the captured guards, only 3,000 soldiers from Hangzhou General Kang led the town of Hangzhou to guard now, more than 5,000 people from the Dusi Guards, and more than 20,000 Yunnan soldiers from Mu Qishan, and it is said that Zhang Yangming summoned the wealthy households in Hangzhou to pay money to recruit the young and strong defenders in Hangzhou, with no less than 30,000 people, so there are more than 60,000 guards in Hangzhou. ”

Wang Xiaojie didn't know that the general Kang Rate was Chen Cao's own person, and Chen Cao did not mention this matter, Kang Rate flew from a small Qiantang patrol to become a Hangzhou general, in addition to relying on the power of the eunuch party at that time, there was also Huang Sihai's support, so in the end, Zhang Yangming thought that Kang Rate was Huang Sihai's person, and after so many years, who can still remember the matter of Kang Rate back then.

Therefore, this is also the reason why Chen Cao was able to take 70,000 people to dare to come to Hangzhou City.

When Chen Cao arrived, there were 30 Shenwu cannons brought by the dismantling alone, as well as two P-1 105 field guns and 20 shells newly produced by the Huating County Military Factory.

"Grandpa..."Zhao Xin rode his horse and galloped, and immediately became quite urgent: "Grandpa, accurate news, the You Shiwei brothers took the soldiers and horses from Pinghu County to Hainingwei, and now they have passed Haining County and are rushing towards Hangzhou." ”

It is clear that You Shiwei came to reinforce Hangzhou.

"Zhang Yangming will definitely not sit still, and the old guy is likely to order all the remaining guards in Zhejiang to be transferred."

Chen Cao said and looked at Huang Chunyao behind him: "Yunsheng, what do you think of this battle?" ”

Huang Chunyao frowned: "At present, according to the current situation, Hangzhou is an empty city, the battle of Jiashan, the 150,000 army of Zhejiang Dusi can be said to be annihilated, and the troops that Zhejiang can take out now may be overstretched, Hangzhou is already in our pocket;

If the grandfather has a heart, after taking Hangzhou, he can take the whole of Zhejiang by the way, but You Shiwei, who came from Yulin, has become a big problem for us;

Grandpa, the students thought that in order to eliminate our worries in one fell swoop, the Yulin border army led by You Shiwei must be wiped out. ”

Chen Cao raised his eyebrows, looked at Beixinguan in the distance, and then said, "What does Yunsheng mean to use Hangzhou City as bait?"

Encirclement for reinforcements? ”
