I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 94 Salhu

Seeing that the army of Ming thieves first bypassed Wenzhou Mansion and went north, then made a false shot in Taizhou, and then fled to Jinhua Mansion, Zhejiang Admiral Huang Sheng was not a fool. He instantly understood that the real target of this group of Ming thieves was probably not Hangzhou. Mansion.

It’s impossible to really go to attack Jinhua Mansion, right?

Hangzhou is not only the capital of Zhejiang, but also an important town in the southeast. It is the last branch of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Once Hangzhou is lost, the Ming navy can move north along the river at any time.

By then, Nanjing will be in danger and Jiangnan will be in danger.

As a result, the governor of Zhejiang, who had just taken office last year and had not made much money, heard the analysis of Huang Sheng and his men, and made a wise decision on the spot in a panic.

That is to assemble all the soldiers and horses of Zhejiang to encircle them on all sides, and use the power of thunder to completely encircle and suppress the Ming thieves in Jinhua Mansion.

This idea sounds good, but in fact it is a very stupid decision, regardless of whether the Zhejiang Qing army actually has 20 troops, even if it is only [-] or [-].

To completely integrate so many armies to launch a simultaneous siege on Jinhua Mansion from several directions, it can only be said that even if the military god Li Jing was alive, it would be difficult to do it (who let him be the God of War of the Tang Dynasty).

This is actually what surprised Yang Gong. Not to mention the command system of the Qing army, even under the current prohibitions of the Ming army, it is just a dream to achieve this.

This is not only due to the backward command system, but also to the communication conditions and even the quality of the soldiers.

The Qing troops surrounding Jinhua Mansion were said to be 20, but the actual total could be as high as [-], including more than half of the recruited soldiers. They were said to be recruited soldiers, but in fact they were young men who were either forcibly recruited or captured. Don't even think about training or anything like that.

Even in Chuzhou, Quzhou and Taizhou, more than half of the Qing army recruits from these three directions did not have weapons, and many of them just took a wooden stick and sharpened it.

Don't think it's outrageous. After all, one-third of the 2000 million-strong army under the command of the Russian Empire's Tsar went to the battlefield with a wooden stick and knife to demonstrate their invulnerability.

Speaking of which, Yang Gong's initial thought was actually to keep moving around, and then send some of the Qing troops from Wenzhou or Taizhou and other state capitals, not to mention the main force, to attack his own rear route, and then turn around and eat these Qing troops in one bite. An opening was opened in southern Zhejiang.

In this way, in conjunction with the Ming army dispatched by Fujian, they cooperated internally and externally to swallow up the state capitals in central and southern Zhejiang. Finally, they used a huge force to force Hangzhou and captured this important town on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in one fell swoop.

But Yang Gong didn't expect that the Qing army was lured out, but the movement was a bit too big.

As early as entering the Jinhua Mansion, Yang Gong directly sent out all the reconnaissance cavalry in the First Army. As the main force of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yijiong had high hopes for the First Army, Yang Gong had five reconnaissance cavalry teams under his command, heading to all directions. Dispersed, the news of the Qing army's dispatch could not be concealed at all.

Not to mention the [-]-strong army of Zhejiang Admiral Huang Sheng, the Qing troops in Wenzhou and Taizhou left the city, and Yang Gong got the news.

"Are you kidding me? If the Qing army can have so many troops in Zhejiang, why should Ming Dynasty do the Northern Expedition? All we have to do is surrender." Yang Gong suddenly sneered disdainfully after receiving the news from the scout cavalry.

However, Wang Zongtan on the side was not frightened by Yang Gong's words that deliberately boosted morale. He looked worried and said: "General, even if the Qing army doesn't have that many, I'm afraid there are still [-] or [-]. In addition, The Qing troops in Chuzhou and Quzhou... I would like to ask the general to tell you what we should do next!"

Yang Gong did not speak immediately, but just looked back and forth at the map on the case, and suddenly said: "Give me the order, the whole army will set off, abandon all unnecessary baggage, and head north at full speed."

"Where to go?" After hearing Yang Gong's words, Wang Zongtan said bluntly without even asking why.

Yang Gong stretched out his hand and pointed at a point on the map. "Pujiang County!"

"No, it's the Puppet Qing Admiral who is about to arrive in Pujiang County!"

Huyuan Creek is actually Huyuan River. The name of the creek cannot be traced back. It seems to be a special habit of the local people. It reaches Fuchun River in the north and exits Pujiang County in the south.

Therefore, as long as Zhejiang Admiral Huang Sheng's [-]-strong army wanted to go south to Jinhua Prefecture as quickly as possible, they could only take the waterway from Qiantang River to Huyuan River and then to Pujiang County.

After Wang Zong listened, his mind was a little confused for a moment, and he subconsciously asked: "Why?"

Yang Gong said: "How many ways have you come? I will only go one way!"

Good guy, this is what Nurhachi, the old slave of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, said. It was by relying on this style of play that Nurhachi was able to successfully defeat the Ming army when the Ming army had an absolute advantage in strength, and achieved the famous victory of defeating more with less. Battle - Battle of Salhu.

Speaking of which, the situation faced by the Ming army now is quite similar to that of Saarhu back then. They were both surrounded on all sides, and one side had far more troops than the other. Both sides were blindly acting strategically.

The only difference is that the roles of enemy and friend back then are now reversed.

In fact, Yang Gong did not completely copy Lao Nu's style of play. He also had his own considerations.

The Qing army was surrounded on all sides and seemed to have a large number of troops. In fact, its command system was very chaotic and fragile. As long as the leader was eliminated, the command system would completely collapse.

After all, we are all general officers, so why should I listen to you? Even if there is no conflict and without the leader to suppress them, they will definitely fall into chaos, and no one will take action first.

Needless to say, this leader is naturally the Zhejiang Admiral Huang Sheng.

Wang Zongtan was promoted as the most relied-upon commander under Yang Gong. He even planned to promote him to deputy general after returning home after the battle.

Naturally, his strategic vision was not low, and he understood Yang Gong's train of thought just after thinking about it for a moment.

Capturing the thief first seems to be a good idea, but...

Wang Zongtan raised his doubts again: "But the Qing army in Hangzhou Prefecture actually has [-] troops, and what if the puppet Qing admiral does not go to Pujiang County? Or maybe our army failed to defeat the Qing army in Hangzhou Prefecture, but instead What should we do if we are successfully surrounded by the Qing armies of Wenzhou and Taizhou?"

Yang Gong smiled slightly: "In a war, it is impossible to take no risks at all. Since we are burning the boat, we must also be determined to fight to the death. Moreover, if our First Army is really surrounded by the Qing army, Then the army of the Supervisory State can take advantage of the situation to engulf southern Zhejiang, and then cooperate with us inside and outside, and the center will blossom. In this way, the Qing army in Zhejiang will be defeated, and the entire Zhejiang land will be once and for all, and will be in the hands of my Ming Dynasty!"

Well guys, all ideal situations.

Not to mention at all, if the supervising army did not have time to attack, or the first army collapsed early.

Not to mention that the main force of the First Army was ruined, but each and every one of you here had your head stolen because of the enemy's Qing generals.

　After drinking some wine, I always felt something wasn't right.
