Chapter 583 The grain road is broken, and there is a dilemma
The grain route was cut off, what kind of joke, Duoduo thought this idea was very ridiculous, who could cut off his grain route now?
But if it weren't for the grain being cut off, things wouldn't make sense. As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the grain in the south of the Yangtze River has not been transported on schedule, at least it should be notified, but in fact, there is no news at all, so it can only be that the passage to the east is cut off by the enemy.
Since the Qing army broke through Taihu Lake, Jiangnan has been basically calmed, and there are no forces capable of stirring Jiangnan.
Could it be that the flock of birds in Zhoushan went ashore to make trouble again?
Duoduo shook his head, and quickly denied this idea, Hong Chengchou's ability, he still believes, as the commander who once commanded the elite of the Ming Dynasty, now has 50,000 soldiers and horses, if he can't even deal with a group of lost dogs on the sea, then don't do anything as the governor of Jiangnan, he can go directly to the end.
"Lord Wang, could it be that there is a problem in Jiangxi?" Tong Tulai said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they all felt that it was unlikely, after all, there were 50,000 horses in Mandahai, even if they couldn't attack northern Jiangxi, but the task of containing Jiangxi should be able to be completed.
It's only been a month, and if Man Dahai lets the Jiangxi Ming army copy Duoduo's grain road, then his water quality is too inferior.
Hearing this, Duoduo's eyes widened, "Is there any news from Mandahai lately?" ”
Several people glanced at each other and shook their heads, Duoduo saw this, and his heart sank, "Ma Guangyuan, you send a few more people and horses, hurry up and find out what happened to this king?" ”
"Oh, the minion will do it." Ma Guang walked away and left in a hurry.
Everyone was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, the grain road was cut off, and there was really only this possibility, only if the Jiangxi Ming Army defeated the South Route Army, could they outflank their grain route.
"Lord Wang, if it is really the Jiangxi Ming Army that copied our back road, then what should we do now? Is this Wuchang still fighting? Li Shuotai said urgently.
Everyone has realized the seriousness of the problem, they are now in the hinterland of Hubei, and if they are not careful, they may be attacked from both sides.
Hearing these words in their ears, anyone who understands them can feel that this is the meaning of retreat.
Duoduo's brows were furrowed, the grain route was cut off, and he was facing a two-sided attack, which was too dangerous.
If all he brings is cavalry, no matter how many ways you come, he can come and go like the wind with the speed of cavalry, but the green battalion is all small and short-legged, in case it is attacked, and the army runs out of food, it will be too late to run.
At this time, Fu Shangrui was a little anxious when he saw the words they discussed, how could the Qing soldiers be intimidated, Wuchang was about to fight, throw off his arms!
The Qing soldiers can't retreat, what else will he do if he retreats? The Qing court is also a turnip and a pit, and the good position has long been occupied, if the troops are withdrawn, he will definitely be idle.
"Lord Wang, now that the city of Wuchang is about to be broken, and the situation in Jiangxi has not yet been determined, the minions think that the army cannot mess with itself, and should continue to storm Wuchang." Fu Shangrui, who had not interjected, had to express his opinion at this time, "Regarding food, the prince does not have to worry, the people of Hubei should have grain, and the army can raise a part from the people, and there is enough grain and grass in Wuchang City, as long as the army takes Wuchang, it can lift the threat, even if the Ming army in Jiangxi outflanks it, the Qing soldiers have a city and food, so what is there to fear." ”
The people raise grain, which means to rob, but nearly 200,000 people rely on grabbing grain to maintain, which is certainly unrealistic, and the Qing army came all the way, and it can also be seen that the people along the way did not have a single hair, and the food that the Qing army can grab must be limited, this suggestion is obviously unreliable.
However, Duoduo was very interested in breaking through Wuchang and obtaining grain and grass, and it was impossible for him to retreat from Wuchang City because of a guess.
Duoduo pondered for a while, glanced at Fu Shangrui approvingly, and then commanded in a deep voice: "Now the information is unknown, and none of you are allowed to leak the matter of the grain route, otherwise the military law will be punished." In addition, Tong Gushan, tomorrow you continue to urge the green camp to storm Wuchang, and this king will give you a three-day deadline to break the city. Li Shutai, you send cavalry out of the camp and divide up to collect food in case of emergency. Do you get it? ”
"Minions, know!" Several people saluted in unison, and then went to prepare.
The next day, under the city of Wuchang, there was still a raging battle, and the offensive of the Qing army was extremely fierce, surpassing the front, and the corpses were piling up like a mountain.
He Tengjiao was provoked by the generals, and was persuaded by the gentry and You Youlun to be dragged to a restaurant two hundred steps behind the low wall, which served as a temporary command post, saving the time for the transmission of orders and barely withstanding the attack.
On the side of the Qing army, the siege was only halfway through, and the men and horses that Ma Guangyuan had sent to the east to inquire had already returned, bringing back the exact news, Jin Shenghuan occupied Anqing, nearly 100,000 horses, and was coming westward.
This made Duoduo extremely shocked, the Jiangxi Ming army was able to mobilize 100,000 horses, which means that the Qing army on the southern route not only failed, but also defeated very completely, completely losing the role of containing the Jiangxi Ming army.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for news to come one after another, bringing clearer information that the Qing army on the South Road was indeed defeated very completely, and it can be said that even the pants were lost.
Duoduo was shocked by the news that Mandahai had been killed and 50,000 horses had been wiped out.
At this time, the cavalry squad sent out to collect grain also came back one after another, and Li Shutai counted it, and immediately became furious, more than 1,000 people did not grab much food, and more than a dozen horsemen did not come back.
The people of Huguang were too unfriendly, and the Qing soldiers just took some food, touched two chickens, and actually beat the Eight Banners warriors to death, and this place could not stay.
The situation brought by all parties made Duoduo realize that he was in danger, and now he had only two ways to go, either withdraw his troops, or take Wuchang and annihilate the Wuchang Ming army before Jin Shenghuan arrived.
The withdrawal of troops from Wuchang showed that the Manchu Qing's plan to attack Chu and Jiangxi on three ways failed, but he could save his strength and make a comeback in the future.
If you continue to attack Wuchang, once the city is broken, you will naturally not be afraid of the Ming army in Jiangxi, at least you can seize Hubei for the Qing Dynasty, so that although the Qing army is defeated in the south road, it is not too much of a loss, and even occupies an advantage, but if Jin Shenghuan arrives under the city of Wuchang, the Qing army still has not broken the city, then the Qing Dynasty will really be bloody.
That night, Duoduo in the big tent was entangled, he walked out, looked at Wuchang City in the distance, looked at the huge gap, and finally felt that he should continue to pinch He Tengjiao's soft persimmon.
The Qing Dynasty spent countless sums and raised troops in three ways, and it cannot be reversed in vain.
He immediately ordered Ma Guangyuan to urge 20,000 green battalion soldiers to quickly move east and west, establish defensive lines in Huanggang, Sanjiangkou and other places, stop Jin Shenghuan's men and horses, and buy time for the Qing troops to break through Wuchang.
Just as Duoduo was making a decision, a group of patrolling soldiers suddenly escorted one person to the big tent, and they were stopped by the guards, and the first general said: "The soldiers are patrolling outside the city of Wuchang, and they have caught one of them and are about to take them to see the prince." ”
