Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Zhuge Sanhe, who was able to pinch and count, made a mistake this time, because it was not only Zhao Liangdong and Batulu who came to the front line of Xiangkou Town, but also four Batulu including Zhuobutai, Wang Fuchen, Shi Lang, and Fei Yanggu.

In other words, the five major batulus of the Qing Yao on the front line of Anqing have now gathered in the small town of Xiangkou!

In addition to these five Batulu, there is Zhou Peigong, the imperial military advisor of Kang Mazi, and Tuhai Tutang.

And they gathered in Xiangkou Town for only one purpose, which is to hunt and kill Zhu Hechi, the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!

Because in the past few battles, Zhu and Qi liked to take the lead and appeared on the battlefield many times, so the five Qing Batulu had the idea of ​​setting a trap to kill Zhu and Qi.

And the terrain around Xiangkou Town seems to be quite suitable for digging pits to bury Zhu Heqi!

Now they have all climbed to the west of Xiangkou Town, on the top of a small hill called Xiangshan, and all of them are holding up their binoculars to look at the narrow passage beside the Yangtze River. This passage is about twenty miles long and the narrowest. The place is less than two miles away, facing the river on one side, and a long and narrow passage in the swamp on the other. It might be the place where Zhu and Qi died.

"Tutang, Zhuo Zhongtang, Wang Zhongtang, Shijunmen, Feijunmen, have you seen those wooden fences? That's the puppet Ming army building fortifications... They probably know that the riverside road is very dangerous, so Build a fort every two miles, and advance towards Xiangkou Town step by step."

It was Zhao Liangdong who was speaking. He was previously stationed in Wangjiang County across the river from Xiangkou Town, but the Qing army stationed in Xiangkou Town was also under his command.So he has been to Xiangkou Town many times before, and today he just officially moved his Chinese army from Wangjiang County to Xiangkou Town.He is also very familiar with the terrain around Xiangkou Town.

Therefore, a strategy that is more complete and more ruthless than Wang Fuchen's idea has been brewing in his heart for a while.

Zhao Liangdong paused, and then said: "Although the puppet Ming army is careful, the twenty-mile riverside road is still a dead end!

To the north of Ershili Riverside Road is the beachhead of the Yangtze River, and landings can be made almost everywhere.And because the riverside road is too narrow, as long as the gun boats are driven to the riverside, the riverside road can be blocked with artillery! "

Shi Lang said with a smile: "This is a good idea! Our navy can spare ten gunboats, and just rush to the beach and run aground as fortresses."

Zhuobutai asked: "If the Puppet Ming Army bombards your ship with sugar bombs, can your ship hold it?"

"Yes!" Shi Lang said with a smile, "Just pile up some more sandbags on the bow and build a cannon fortress. Anyway, these gunboats won't move after they run aground, so there's no need to consider the problem of being too heavy to maneuver. We can let these gunboats that are stranded on the beach carry more cannons, general Weiyuan cannons...as long as our firepower is strong enough to confront the puppet Ming army, there is nothing to be afraid of!"

"What about the mountainside road south of Taibo Lake?" Zhou Peigong asked again, "What's going on over there?"

Zhao Liangdong replied with a smile: "It's still relatively calm at present, only a small group of Puppet Ming army's pawns and Yebushou are exploring the way. However, their strength is relatively thin. If they concentrate on walking along the riverside, they can take it step by step, and then divide it into a part. If people and horses walk along the mountain side road, they will not be able to rely on both ends. However, once the riverside road is blocked, the puppet Ming army will definitely retreat from the mountain side road."

Wang Fuchen laughed and said: "That's what I can ask for... I have [-] soldiers in the Zhengbai Banner new army, just waiting for them to pass by the side of the mountain! It's summer now, and there will be strong winds and heavy rains from time to time. What will happen then? Sugar pills, what kind of muskets, nothing fucking works, so you have to do it with real swords and guns!

I don't believe it, just relying on the subordinate surnamed Zhu, he can be the opponent of our Zhengbaiqi New Army! "

The Zhengbai Banner new army and the old Eight Banners' Zhengbai Banner have no inheritance. The old base of this army is the Green Banner Army of the Coated Slave Army brought out by Wang Fuchen.

Although this green flag army is the foundation of the green battalion, there are a large number of elite soldiers from the Ganshan green battalion, and their combat effectiveness is very good.Wang Fuchen is also good at training soldiers, and he has trained this soldier to be very strong.

In the Battle of Jianyangshui, the Green Banner Army not only survived because of their good soy sauce fighting, but also became the main force that Kangxi relied on most.

Later, when the New Eight Banners were rehearsed, the Green Banner Army was split into two, and became the old base of the Zhenghuang Banner New Army and the Zhengbai Banner New Army.But this split is not a square, but a [-]-[-] split... The Zhenghuangqi new army gets three, and the Zhengbaiqi new army gets seven!

If you want to fight for firepower, the Zhengbaiqi new army is really not necessarily the opponent of the puppet Ming army.But if it's a hand-to-hand fight...they are not afraid of anyone!

Tuhai smiled and said: "Okay! With your words, Ma Yaozi, there is nothing to be afraid of...Zhuo Zhongtang, the emperor said that you are the commander in chief in the battle here in Anqing, what do you think?" ?”

Zhuobutai nodded, and said: "Then let me give you a strategy... The 6000 people of Zhengbai Banner are hiding in Jiande County, and don't show up. We will do the work of luring the enemy and defending Xiangkou Town." Yellow flag to do it!

Zhao Junmen led a Gushan (under the command of the capital) to deploy on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the old man led a Gushan to guard Huayang Town.

The remaining one will be handed over to the Metric Army to guard the two north and south cities of Anqing, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

When the fake Zhu San Taisun is led to the vicinity of Xiangkou Town, we will start to fight back... Tutang, Shi Junmen, your two navy troops, and the Zhenghuangqi Gushan who stayed in Anqing, marched through the waterways and attacked the riverside road!

Wang Zhongtang, Fei Junmen, your Zhengbaiqi new army will be divided into two at that time, all the way to ambush on the side of the mountain, all the way to attack the puppet Ming army around Xiangshan Pass, and Zhao Junmen to join forces from the inside out... But remember So, we must leave a way out for the fake third grandson of Zhu, and let him pass by the side of the mountain! "

"Whoo!"

"Order!"

"Whoo!"

"Humble position is ordered!"

"Zhuo Zhongtang, just look at it!"

Although Tu Hai, Shi Lang, Wang Fuchen, Fei Yanggu, and Zhao Liangdong were shoulder to shoulder with Zhuobutai, they all greeted him solemnly at this moment.

Zhuobutai smiled and nodded, then frowned and said to Zhao Liangdong: "Zhao Junmen... Your mission is the most important in this battle. You must lure the enemy first, then hold on, and you must not lose anything!"

Zhao Liangdong cupped his hands and saluted: "Don't worry, Zhongtang, I will let the surnamed Zhu know what is the courage of our Qing Dynasty!"

……

On the tenth day of May, Madang Bastion.

A simple bastion capable of stationing tens of thousands of troops was finally completed two days ago after less than a month of intensive work.

On the morning of the [-]th morning of the fifth lunar month, Zhu Heqi's "Supervising the State and Fujun" banner appeared on the top of the Madang Bastion.

But in fact, he has been on the front line of the horse for about ten days. In the past ten days, he has been working as a supervisor himself, watching the bastion project; Department.Sometimes I have to take time to care about the food and drink of the tens of thousands of horses gathered in Madang—this is the hot summer season when diseases are most likely to spread!

If a plague breaks out accidentally, then the battle of Anqing will be unnecessary.

After working for more than ten days in a row, Zhu and Qi finally settled down in the newly completed "thatched cottage palace" in Madang Bastion, and they were accompanied by three beauties, Da Boling, Maid Cang and Zhou Yubing. I also have a solid foundation in my heart-the Qing army seems to be going to a battle with his Da Ming soldiers in Xiangkou Town!

However, Kang Mazi didn't seem to have many troops in Xiangkou Town. There was only one Gushan—according to the information obtained by the military division's office, there were three Gushans under a new army banner, and one Gushan was more than 5000 people.

Why do people guard Xiangkou Town next to the Yangtze River?

This should be the way to fight while retreating, resisting step by step, and finally fight in Anqing again!

At this time, Zhu Heqi was sitting in the "Great Hall of Thatched Cottage", looking at the letter sent by the Jian Guo Mansion in Nanchang, and wondering how long the battle in Xiangkou Town would last.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Zhu Heqi looked up, and saw Da Boling walking in "shaking and shaking", the steps were very fast.

"Hahaha, aunt, it's still early..." Zhu Heqi had only finished speaking halfway, and Da Boling had already handed over an urgent military report.

"A Pao, Zhao Liangdong's demon head is attacking!"

Chapter 370: Zhu Santai Comes Bravely!

"What? Zhao Liangdong attacked?"

As soon as Zhu Heqi heard the news, he became energetic immediately, and quickly took the military newspaper sent by the commander of the third town Ling Zongjun from Da Boling, and when he opened it, his eyes sparkled.

"Haha," Zhu Heqi was delighted when he saw it, "this Zhao Liangdong is worthy of being Batulu, he really has a little courage, and he actually led three or four thousand soldiers of the Eight Banners in yellow clothes out of the stronghold of Xiangkou Town, and walked towards the riverside. The Xin Zibao is coming!"

Eight forts have been built on Jiangbian Road, which are called A Fort, B Fort, C Fort, D Fort, E Fort, Ji Fort, G Fort and Xin Fort.Among them, Xinzibao is the most eastern fortress, built on the back of a stream connecting the Yangtze River and Taiboze.

These small fortresses are said to be fortresses, but they are actually camps. Most of them are rectangular - long from north to south, narrow from east to west, and can almost block the entire riverside road!On the north side facing the Yangtze River, artillery fortifications were set up.There is usually a battalion of troops stationed in such a fortress, but if it is well guarded, thousands of people will never even try to take it down.No matter how many soldiers there are, there will be no room for them on the riverside road.

"A Pao, do you want to kill this Zhao? It's been a long time since I've seen you on the battlefield!"

Da Boling smiled sweetly and asked Zhu Heqi about tactics—in Zhu Heqi's back house, she was qualified to ask such questions.Because she is not only Zhu Heqi's concubine, but also a partner in the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty cause!

Zhu Heqi rolled his eyes, did not answer directly, just smiled and said: "Auntie, you have to prepare, we will go out together tonight!"

"We two?" Da Boling was taken aback, "I still have to accompany you to the battlefield?"

Zhu Heqi laughed and said, "That's... a man and a woman match, so it's not tiring to fight!"

Going into battle with my aunt to fight the enemy, let my aunt serve you when you are tired, and let your aunt serve you if you are not tired... Is there anything more exciting than this?

"Okay then! I'll go get ready now!" Da Boling was not afraid to go into battle, she gave a blessing ceremony with a smile, turned around and went to get ready—she actually came with chain mail, a big red robe and various weapons Ma Dang is a woman who can fight for Zhu Heqi at any time, and can also fight with Zhu Heqi at any time.

After sending Da Boling to prepare for the battle, Zhu and Qi didn't stay idle. They stood up and waved their big cattail fans before going to the Xingyuan Army Council Hall.

There are two copies of the letter sent by Ling Zongjun, and Zhuge Sanhe also has one.After learning of Zhao Liangdong's attack, Zhuge Sanhe immediately sent people to inform Zhao Hongkui, the commander-in-chief of the first town, Zhuge Zhengyang, the commander-in-chief of the second town, Su Zhanhai, the commander-in-chief of the fourth town, and Cui Zhanhai, the commander-in-chief of the artillery team, who were stationed in the Madang Fortress. Sixth, Zhao Desheng, the commander-in-chief of the cavalry team, Yu Xiaoqian, the commander-in-chief of the Madang Fortress, and other six major soldiers went to the Xingyuan Army Council Hall together.

The so-called military council hall is actually a combat command room. It is not the layout of the yamen lobby, but a large map table, and a group of soldiers from the military division's office are busy in it.

When Zhu Heqi came in waving his fan, the military hall was full of money, and Zhuge Sanhe and the six general soldiers below had already expired.

Seeing Zhu Heqi walking in, everyone bowed to him.

"Pingshenpingpingshen..." Zhu Heqi smiled and shook his fan, "Batulu Zhao Liangdong led three to four thousand people to attack! What do you guys think?"

"Jianguo, this is nothing!" Zhuge Sanhe laughed, "Tiger Lingyong is the champion of the three armies, and he must be able to drive back this demon-clear Batulu. You just sit in the fortress of Madang and wait." Just listen to the good news."

"How boring is that?" Zhu Heqi shook his fan, "The lonely family hasn't played for a while!"

Zhuge Sanhe thought for a while and said, "Then you take a few battalions to Xinzibao to support Tiger Ling."

"No, no." Zhu Heqi still waved his hands, "What's the point of seeing Tiger Ling beat up Qing Yao? And Tiger Ling is so fierce, let him let go, and he will be able to hit Xiangkou Town in a while."

"Then how do you want to fight?" Zhuge Sanhe asked.

Zhu Hechi laughed and said, "Let Tiger Ling abandon Xinzi Fort and retreat to Gengzi Fort."

"Jian Guo, you want to..."

Zhu Heqi picked up a wooden stick, drew a line on the south of Taiboze on the map, and said to the crowd: "The lonely family must personally lead the cavalry to detour to the south of Xiangkou Town along the mountain side road, and then launch a surprise attack! Capture Xiangkou Town and make dumplings for three to four thousand people of Zhao Liangdong!"

Zhu and Qi now have six cavalry battalions!

Moreover, they are all cavalry battalions with horses to ride. Each battalion has [-] cavalry, which makes a total of [-] cavalry!

The horses of these three thousand cavalry were all picked up from the battlefield after the last battle in Sanjiangkou Town, or from the hands of the generals of the Geng Family Army who turned against them-most of the cavalry were also from them. Reed came.

Moreover, Zhu Heqi also appointed a cavalry chief and six cavalry lieutenants to help train the six precious cavalry battalions-these seven cavalry chiefs and lieutenants are Zhao Desheng, Zeng Yangxing, Ma Weixing, Bai Xianzhong, Wang Jin, and Wang Jingong , Liu Yan and the others.

The official looks very big, but the real power is only a little bit.

Moreover, the [-] cavalry under their command are all Zhu Heqi's treasures, known as "sage servants", all of them have double pay, and the officers among them have the status of servants-this cavalry usually does not belong to the commander-in-chief of the six towns Those under the jurisdiction are only temporarily allocated to them when troops are dispatched.

In addition, the same is true for the artillery battalions assigned to the six new army towns. They are only temporarily incorporated into the six towns when troops are dispatched, and they are usually under the jurisdiction of the artillery towns.

Therefore, Zhu Heqi's subordinates will have two "false and real" chief soldiers, the chief soldier of the cavalry and the chief soldier of the artillery team.

And this time Zhu and Qi brought a total of four cavalry battalions to Madang...a total of two thousand cavalry!

"The lonely family is leaving tonight!" Zhu Hexi said, "Starting from Madang, it is about [-] miles around Taiboze to Xiangkou Town. It can be done in one night, and then a surprise attack will probably succeed... Let Tiger Ling launch a general attack early tomorrow morning, flanking back and forth, and beheading Zhao Liangdong."

Zhuge Sanhe frowned a little, "Jian Guo, you are now the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles..."

"No problem," Zhu Heqi said with a smile, "There are two thousand cavalry, where else can I go? Military division, I will leave the front to you... Let's meet tomorrow morning in Xiangkou Town!"

What Zhu Hechi said was actually an order!

That's it!

Of course, Zhuge Sanhe felt that Zhu Heqi's style of play was a bit risky... But he looked back and thought, Zhu Heqi often took a small team around the battlefield before, didn't there be any mistakes?

Thinking of this, Zhuge Sanhe said to Zhu Hechi earnestly: "Jianguo, it's not impossible for you to take the risk of sending troops, but you have to bring Madam Ling with you!"

"Of course!" Zhu Hechi laughed, "Of course my aunt followed me!"

Zhuge Sanhe said emphatically: "I have to let her watch you... You can't let you go into battle with one or two hundred horses, or even dozens or even a dozen horses!"

"I know, I know!" Zhu Heqi nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, even if the Gu family sees Kang Mazi on the battlefield this time, they won't rush up and kill him!"

Zhuge Sanhe shook his head, "It's impossible for you to see Kang Mazi on the battlefield... You Division of the Military Advisor's Office has just received a secret report that Kang Mazi is stationing troops at Qingliu Pass now!"

"Qingliuguan?" Zhu Heqi was taken aback, "In Chuzhou? Is he going to run away?"

Zhuge Sanhe smiled and said: "He is going to run... As long as we capture Anqing, there is a high probability that he will not stick to Nanjing."

Seizing Anqing means that Zhu Heqi's navy defeated Shi Lang's navy and seized the right to control the water of the Yangtze River.

With the water rights of the Yangtze River being controlled by the Ming army, if we continue to defend Nanjing, it will be a "two U-turn"!

"Haha," Zhu Heqi laughed, "Then let's give Kang Mazi a bad blow this time!"

Zhuge Sanhe saw Zhu Hechi's eagerness to attack, and hurriedly shouted: "Wait!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Mrs. Wait Ling," Zhuge Sanhe said, "I have to explain it to her personally, so she must watch you!"

Zhu Hechi laughed loudly and said, "Okay, this time I will attack, and I will follow her command. Is this the head office?"

Chapter 371 We Are Heavenly Soldiers!

More than 2000 war horses and more than 2000 Yunnan horses used as pack horses passed through the extremely dark night like the wind.Although it was night, it was still impossible to raise a fire to expose the traces.Go to Zhu Hexi tonight, oh, it should be Da Boling who led the big guys to sneak attack-this is not Zhu Heyi's nonsense, but Zhuge's military adviser's order!

Army Master Zhuge counted his fingers and figured out that Zhu Heqi had to listen to Da Boling's orders for this attack!Moreover, Military Master Zhuge also gave Da Boling a pack of tricks and tricks for her to use when she was in danger.

But with Zhu and Qi around, how could she be in danger?Unless it is "attacked" by Zhu Hechi himself... In this case, no tricks will work!

At this moment, Zhu Heqi was riding beside Da Boling, turning his head to look at his beloved aunt from time to time.

Da Boling was also riding a Lusitano horse from Macau, a very rare white horse—most Lusitano horses are dingy, and there are very few white horses.Zhu and Qi found a castrated white horse that could be used as a war horse in the whole of Macau, and gave it to Da Boling.

In order to match the coat color of the horse, Da Boling also wore a white arrow jacket today.In the night, Da Boling's body was almost integrated with the white horse. Looking from behind, she could see her plump but not fat body bobbing up and down.If you go around her or look in front of her, it will be even more impressive... It is simply a strange landscape!

Zhu Heqi secretly made up his mind that as long as possible in the future, Da Boling must be brought with him when sending troops to fight.Watching her body up and down on the horseback, no matter how boring the march is, it will not be boring.

While Zhu Heqi was looking at Da Boling, Da Boling was constantly looking at the fire lights on the riverside road in the north of Taiboze—in order to cooperate with the night attack "commanded" by Da Boling, Zhuge Sanhe gave Ling Zongjun issued an order to "bluff and attract demons".

Therefore, the third town under the command of Ling Zongjun has been tossing around since before dark, and it is now midnight, and it has not stopped.The torches on the narrow and long riverside road are blazing, and the flames are constantly moving from west to east, as if a large group of people are moving to the front line, or as if there is a fire dragon swimming on the bank of the Yangtze River, making the night by the river faintly red.Rockets were rising into the night sky one after another, and then exploded, forming brilliant flames.This is not launching a sugar-sugar rocket, but an ordinary gunpowder rocket.Although the shot was not as high or as far as the Nitrox rocket, it was quite lively to watch, and it was enough to be a signal rocket.
