Chapter 708: The road is blocked
"Quick, quick, quick, run!" On the east bank of the Yangtze River, the embankment was crowded with people, the soldiers' clothes and armor were rattling in the running, and the sergeants were sweating one by one, but the officers were still not satisfied, standing on a high place to cheer up the soldiers and urging the army to move quickly.
After Wang Yan learned that the emperor had pounced on the Great Victory Pass in Zongyang, he divided his troops and horses into two parts, and asked Li to go over to save Dai's domain, while he led 70,000 horses to continue eastward, and crossed the Yangtze River at Yuanzi Port, jumping from the north bank to the east bank.
On the riverside, the soldiers carried banners, spears, and gun wagons in a hurry, stretching for dozens of miles.
At this time, Wang Yan and a group of generals, Kuama stood on the river embankment, looking down on the army below like a giant python.
"Your Highness, if you walk another thirty miles ahead, you will approach Wuhu. As long as our army goes down the river, it will not take five days to reach the Dasheng Pass. Gao Yigong rode on the horse, pointed to the east with the whip in his hand and said.
Wang Yan looked at the east, seeing that the army stretched and there was no end in sight, he frowned slightly, there were nearly 2560,000 Qing soldiers in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, it was impossible to fight so passively, with the level of a flood thief, he would definitely be able to detect that he was sending troops eastward, and it was impossible to be unprepared.
Wang Yan's heart moved, and he summoned Wang Shixiu, the commander of the Ma army, and ordered: "The Ma army is twenty miles ahead, check carefully, don't fall into the ambush of the old thief." ”
When Wang Shixiu heard the order, he immediately clenched his fists and led the order, and after a while, he saw a group of cavalry with bright armor breaking away from the marching brigade, galloping out, and galloping towards the east.
Chen Bangyan on the side said casually: "The emperor's 40,000 horses are all elite soldiers, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren are all generals who have fought for a long time, even if they fall into the tricks of the Qing soldiers, they are expected to be able to support it, and it should not collapse quickly." ”
Wang Yan shook his head, "Not necessarily, from a big victory to a big defeat, the change in its central realm is enough to praise people with iron will." If this time it was really a trap deliberately set by the Qing soldiers, the emperor would have a fierce battle to fight. ”
Wang Yan is still a conservative estimate, assuming that the emperor thought that victory was in sight, but he fell into the conspiracy of the Qing army, how much blow the general would suffer in his heart, the army would inevitably fall into panic, and the Qing soldiers had already premeditated, I am afraid that the situation is only worse, not the worst.
At this time, Wang Yan can no longer care about some little Jiujiu in his heart, if the Son of Heaven is killed or captured, the momentum that the Ming army has fought in recent years may fall to the bottom again.
This situation will inevitably make the morale of the people and the army decline, and it may even repeat the situation of the Qing army's devastation at the beginning of its entry into the customs.
Wang Yan pulled the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and urged the horse to move slowly, "Let's go, our speed should be faster, if we don't catch up with the emperor, this clan is uneasy." ”
Wang Yan just urged the horse to go, and under the river embankment, a horse rode in the direction of the army's advance, galloping, the horse's hooves stepped on, and the soil splashed.
"Newspaper~" The cavalry pulled his throat when he was far away, and shouted while whipping the war horse, and his voice was long.
Wang Yan's war horse didn't take a few steps, and he pulled the horse aside, and grabbed the reins, and after a while, the cavalry rushed to the front, and hurriedly dismounted and reported: "Your Highness, fifteen miles ahead, along the Qingge River, I found that a large number of Qing troops had set up a formation along the river, blocking the way of our army. ”
After the cavalry finished speaking, everyone changed color! This meant that the king's fears had come true, and a Qing army had returned to Longwu to stop them, and the intention was already very obvious.
Wang Yan said in his heart, sure enough, the war will not be so simple, how can the flood thief be so easy to deal with.
"Have you found out, how many people are there?" Wang Yan squinted and asked.
The cavalry hugged his fists, "Returning to His Highness, the general banner where the lowly position is located encountered the enemy rangers, and a battle was killed, and the enemy cavalry retreated, but the lowly and others did not dare to pursue, but they looked at it from afar, and it can be seen that the enemy army is hunting with banners, and the team is purged, I am afraid that there are 20,000 people." ”
Wang Yan listened, was slightly silent, and then asked, "Can you see the flag clearly?" ”
The cavalry immediately replied: "There are more than 20 dragon flags with a blue background, and the rest are green flags." ”
After hearing this, Chen Bangyan on the side said to Wang Yan: "Your Highness, it is estimated that Tong Tulai led the Zhenglan Flag to block it. ”
Tong Tulai followed Duoduo to attack Wuchang last year, because Duoduo took the initiative to withdraw from Chu, so the loss of the Zhenglan Banner led by Tong Tulai was relatively small, and it still retained considerable strength.
Wang Yan was silent for a while, and his generals all gathered around, and after a while, he said to the knight: "You wait until you continue to reconnoiter and find out the situation of the enemy army." After finishing speaking, he said to the guard: "Go, bring the map!" ”
After a short time, the soldiers took out the map, and Wang Yan beckoned all the generals to turn over and dismount, squat on the ground, and spread out the map to take a closer look.
This map was secretly drawn by the Jiangnan gentry of the Ming Dynasty, and the geography of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River was drawn in great detail, and many Qing army garrisons in the south of the Yangtze River were marked, and the strength of each city was noted.
Everyone looked at it, Wang Yan pointed to the map and said: "Sun Shoufa was blocked in Xuancheng in Ningguo Mansion, and now we are blocked by Tong Tulai in front of us, the intention of the Qing army is obvious, that is, they want to eat Jin Shenghuan who rushed forward, and the emperor's situation is in danger." ”
"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Liu Shun touched his head and asked.
Wang Yan's hand pointed on the map and drew a circle on the line of Dasheng Pass, "Tong Tulai can bypass Jin Shenghuan and insert it into the Qingge River, which shows that the main force of the Qing army has been hiding on the side." ”
Wang Yan looked at the map and pondered for a while, and his fingers slid to Lishui County, east of Dasheng Pass and south of Nanjing.
"If the main force of the Qing army is hidden here, and the Qing army at Dasheng Pass continues to attract and consume the Chinese army, and the Qing soldiers attack from the flank and surround Jin Shenghuan under Dasheng Pass, then the situation will be dangerous." Wang Yan paused, and then said: "However, the Qing soldiers chose to keep the clan out of the encirclement, which also shows a problem, the Qing soldiers' strength is not sufficient, or he will wait for the clan to rush in, and then surround it together." ”
Generally speaking, for the lone army to go deep, it is to set up an ambush, and then surround and annihilate it, which is like a thief in the house, naturally he has to close the door and beat him, but now the Qing army does not let Wang Yan enter the door, but blocks the door of the house.
Don't let in, this can only be too many thieves, the owner is weak, don't dare to put all of them in, so as not to be beaten up, so I want to solve them one by one.
At this time, Wang Yan stood up, and all the generals also stood up, and he glanced around at the generals, "Since the Qing army doesn't want this domain to enter, then the main domain wants to enter, tear this encirclement net for him, and break it for him." ”
After estimating that the strength of the Qing army was not enough, and he could not eat Longwu's Chinese army and his 70,000 army in one go, he decided to drill into the ambush circle of the Qing army, and the emperor would come out and open the Qing army's encirclement network.
Chen Bangyan listened and understood what Wang Yan meant, and he hurriedly asked: "How many people are there on the outside line, do you need to be contacted?" ”
Wang Yan thought for a moment and nodded, "Now on the front line of Nanjing and Wuhu, we have more troops than the Qing troops, and we can contact the outer line a few ways, so that they must contain the other Qing troops from moving towards Dasheng Pass." ”
