Li Guo couldn't help but lose his breath again, "The king of the county...... Are you trying to cut off the lives of my 120,000 brothers in the Loyal Camp? ”

Wu Zheng smiled and did not answer.

Even Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong had an ugly face.

Gao Guiying frowned and said, "The county king may not have considered it...... It is not that the loyal battalion is afraid of the battle and cowardly the enemy, but it is actually that Boluo occupies Guangxin, Raozhou and other prefectures, and the walls are high and the city is strong, once the war starts, the Fujian Qing army will arrive in five or six days, and then it will be a situation that will not be completed. At present, our army lacks food, grass, and ordnance...... Can the king redraw the path of transfer? ”

In fact, the unspoken doubts in the hearts of the three of them were, Wu Zheng, do you want to borrow a knife to kill someone?

Wu Zheng understood, and his heart was like a mirror.

But if you really want to borrow a knife to kill someone, why bother going around such a big circle and running in person?

"Is this king so unbearable in your hearts?" Wu Zheng smiled, "Although this battle is fought in the name of the loyal battalion, there is no need for the soldiers of the loyal battalion to attack Raocheng." ”

This was too contradictory, which made Gao Guiying and the three of them stunned.

Wu Zheng explained: "The Yixing Dynasty and the Qing court have an armistice agreement, at least in the short term, the Yixing Dynasty will not be able to carry out the Northern Expedition, so this agreement cannot be broken by our side first, giving the Qing court an excuse to tear its face." ”

Wu Zheng roughly talked to the three of them about the strategy drawn up in advance and the fact that the Jiujiang Jin Zhida Department had been attached, "What this king means is that the Northern Expeditionary Army entered Huangzhou Mansion in the name of crusading against the loyal battalion and attacked Wuchang Mansion in the west. The loyal battalion knew that it was invincible, so it could only retreat south. At this time, the 3,000 Northern Expeditionary Army put on the uniforms of the Loyal Battalion and acted as the vanguard of the attack, followed by the main force of the Loyal Battalion. ”

After the army arrived in Jiujiang, it quickly divided its troops into two routes, all the way through Hukou to attack Fuliang and Dexing, and then attacked Guangxin Mansion to govern Shangrao in the south, and the main attack was carried out by the disguised 3,000 Northern Expeditionary Army. The other road passed through Poyang, attacked Wannian and Guixi, went straight to Guangxin Mansion, and cut off the retreat of Boluo's 6,000 Qing army. Strive to annihilate the Boluo Department within five days. ”

This plan made Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong, and Li Guo look at each other.

Yes, the rebel army under Jin Zhida has been attached, and the loyal battalion has successfully arrived in Pengze and Poyang, so to speak, it is effortless.

And it is not difficult to outflank to the south and cut off the retreat of Boluo's 6,000 Qing army.

But the question is, can the 3,000 Northern Expeditionary Army defeat the 6,000 Qing troops defending the fortified city, or within five days?

Li Guo swallowed his saliva and asked with difficulty: "The king of the county said that the three thousand Northern Expeditionary Army?" Can you capture Guangxin Mansion in five days? ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "By surprise, Bolo must have received the news that the Northern Expeditionary Army was marching west and attacking the loyal camp." In this way, it is reasonable for the loyal battalion to retreat south. Then Bolo would not have thought that the Northern Expeditionary Army would disguise itself as the vanguard of the loyal battalion to attack Guangxin Mansion, so he would not retreat, but would defend the city, because he knew very well that with the combat strength of the loyal battalion, I am afraid that there would be no threat to Shangrao City. ”

Although the loyal battalion did decline in combat strength after the fiasco in the battle to attack Hubei, it was so "honest" by Wu Zheng that Gao Yigong and Li Guo were all worried.

Wu Zheng said that "it is reasonable for the loyal battalion to retreat south in a rout", obviously, in Wu Zheng's view, the 120,000 loyal battalion will be defeated under the attack of the 30,000 Ming army.

This made Gao Yigong and Li Guo very embarrassed.

Wu Zheng didn't seem to see the embarrassment of the two, and said calmly: "Two generals, what this king said is true, after this battle, you will find that in fact, if this king has malicious intentions towards the loyal battalion, at most one month, the army of the loyal battalion will disappear in this world." ”

Gao Yigong and Li Guo were silent, because they had decided to belong to Wu Zheng, and they didn't dare to commit the following crimes, but they were indeed unconvinced in their hearts.

Gao Guiying said suddenly: "Since the county king is so sure, let's do what the county king says." ”

Wu Zheng asked, "How many artillery pieces does the Loyal Battalion have at the moment?" ”

Li Guo hesitated for a moment, and estimated in his heart: "About sixty or seventy." ”

Wu Zheng said: "In order to march quickly, this king did not carry artillery, and the two generals asked to organize people to bring these artillery." ”

Li Guo frowned and said, "The artillery is too heavy, I'm afraid it won't be able to keep up with the march." ”

"This king doesn't care, he must bring it, and he must keep up with the Ming army in disguise with 3,000 disguises, and capture Guangxin within five days, which is indispensable."

"King Jun, I have a sentence, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Gao Yigong asked hesitantly.

"Whatever it is."

"If the king of the county pins his hopes on these artillery, I am afraid that the city will be attacked...... Not easy. ”

"Why?"

"Originally, the artillery carried by our army was iron bullets and lead bullets, which could attack Hubei...... After the defeat, the projectiles and gunpowder were all exhausted, and the current battles were all improvised gunpowder and stone projectiles, with a range of only one or two miles, and the power was not the same as before. ”

Wu Zheng said: "It's okay, as long as you can use it, it's okay to get close to the bombardment, even if you can't kill people, it's good to be strong and powerful...... Maybe with a bit of luck, you can smash the city gates. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Gao Yigong hurriedly said, "If you arrive within one or two miles, the Qing army often quickly dispatches cavalry and assaults our artillery positions...... Our army has already suffered several losses and suffered heavy losses. The king of the county still thinks twice. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, this king is afraid that the Qing army will not go out of the city, in this way, the siege will be slow, once the stalemate starts, not only will the battle damage be large, but also the Fujian Qing army must be guarded against." ”

Gao Yigong asked in surprise: "Does the prince have a way to deal with it?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled and nodded, "After the battle is over, you will know." ”

Li Guo said suddenly: "I am willing to go south with the king of the county." ”

Wu Zheng said: "The retreat of the loyal battalion to the south requires the dispatch of two generals, anyway, there are not many days, and you will naturally know when the time comes." ”

Li Guo insisted: "With my mother and uncle here, I can't withdraw from the south of the loyal camp, so please let me follow." ”

Wu Zheng looked at Gao Guiying.

Gao Guiying smiled and said, "Since Li Guo has the heart to follow the county king, then ask the county king to fulfill him." ”

Wu Zheng nodded, "Okay, this king has agreed...... Madame, when the camp is withdrawn, it is absolutely forbidden to plunder the people again. ”

Gao Yigong frowned and said, "Isn't that cheap?" ”

Wu Zheng said leisurely: "Justice is in the hearts of the people, what the Tartars will do, this king can't control, but you have already attached yourself to this king, then you have to follow the rules of this king." You can rest assured, when you arrive in Jiangnan, no matter the weapons, equipment, or food, this king will definitely have a lot of your ...... Give the people of Huguang some food rations to survive, and distribute to the people what you can't take away or need, this is the king's first order to you. ”

Gao Yigong and Li Guo looked at each other.

Gao Guiying said: "Listen to the king of the county." ”

Gao Yigong and Li Guo bowed their heads and said, "The subordinates obey the order." ”
