Chapter 209: Preparing for War

The Great Tent of the Dragon Guard.

The Dragon Guard and all the senior officers of the Broken Battalion stood on both sides, their expressions solemn and with a hint of excitement.

The main force of tens of thousands of Qing troops is at the foot of Shanguan, eight miles away, and these Jiannu who had flaunted their military might in Fujing, killing and plundering everywhere would face the anger and lead bullet of the Ming army.

As long as these enemies are annihilated, it will be the biggest victory against Jianyu since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty! The names of all those in this account will go down in history as a result of this service.

The Long Wei Army and the Broken Prisoner Battalion had just cleaned up the "Great General of the Southern Expedition" Bolo in Yanping, and his head was still "paraded" around Shaowu Mansion, which made the generals even more confident in killing Azig in the first battle.

In addition, there are two unfamiliar faces in the military tent - Shaowu garrison Lu Chang and Taining general Song Jincheng.

Previously, the construction of the captivity was large, so they closed the camp and did not go out to avoid the battle to protect themselves according to Zheng Zhilong's military order.

Ten days ago, they were shocked to learn that King Chen had defeated the main force of the Qing army in Yanping, killed and captured more than 12,000 people, and beheaded Bolo, the supreme commander of the army, and then a fast horse sent Bolo's head.

Like all the officers leading the troops in Fukyo, when they each saw this bloody human head, they immediately realized that this day was about to change, and they were afraid that a catastrophe would come if they were passive to avoid the war.

Then they hurriedly followed King Chen's military order and led their men and horses to attack and harass Azig's "rout". And they soon found that there were as many as four or five teams of men and horses chasing behind the Qing army.

However, these two people were more bold, unlike the other Ming troops who followed Azig thirty miles away, they really fought a few battles with the Jianyu squad who left the team to plunder, and even won two or three small victories.

When they learned that King Chen's main force had arrived at Shanguan, they immediately came to help in the battle, and at this time, more than 6,000 soldiers and horses under their command were gathering on the east side of the camp of the Dragon Guard.

And the two of them were also able to participate in the battle meeting of the Dragon Guard. In fact, Zhu Linmiao didn't expect them to provide much combat power, but it could be used as a model.

As for the Ming troops who are still dealing with errands, he has already made up his mind that he will liquidate these guys when the Fujing war is over, and don't even think about running away!

There are rewards and punishments, compared with the two, what to do in the future, I believe that the warlords in all parts of Jiangnan will definitely have a spectrum in their hearts.

In fact, Zhu Linmiao didn't know that just recently, Zheng Zhilong's hometown of Quanzhou had been shaken. Several officers of Zheng Zhilong's original line took the initiative to go to the imperial court and expressed their willingness to send troops to fight against the rebellious Zheng Zhilong.

Of course, no one has actually done it yet. However, Zheng Zhilong is now in addition to the group of pirates under his command, it is difficult to mobilize a single soldier in Fujing.

"The general situation is like this," Zhu Linmiao looked at the generals in the tent, "Although there are nearly 4,000 defenders in Shanguan, according to the confessions of the previous prisoners, there are still more than 60 cannons in Jianjiao. If Azig attacks desperately, Shanguan is also in danger of falling.

"Therefore, our army should make preparations for two phases at present.

"Or when Azig was short of food and grass and had to storm Shanguan, our army attacked from behind the enemy, and the captives were squeezed in front of the pass, trapped in a situation where they were attacked on both sides, and there was no room for detours. At that time, as long as Shanguan can hold on for half a day, Jiannu will be broken.

"In addition, it is likely that Azig will come to attack our camp before the food runs out. If this is the case, our army should choose a favorable battlefield, arrange defenses in advance, wait for work, and win the battle in one battle! ”

Seeing that all the generals had nothing to discuss, he asked Zhao Shichao again: "Xuanqing, can you find out what gaps in the captive army?" ”

"My lord," Zhao Shichao arched his hand, "Jiannu either took ten people as a team or thirty people as a team, and explored the five-mile area around his camp all day long. In addition, its camp is well defended, and at present, our hussars have not yet come within two miles of the enemy camp. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, but it was not surprising that Jianyu could fight all the way from the bitter cold land of the northeast to the south of the Yangtze River with few defeats, and there must be its inevitability.

These regular soldiers far surpassed the vast majority of the Ming army in terms of their attention to reconnaissance and vigilance. And the reconnaissance team formed by a large number of thirty cavalry as scouts was a luxury that the Ming army in Jiangnan could not imagine.

But these Qing troops will face the Dragon Guard, which has surpassed them for nearly a century in weaponry and tactical thinking. Not to mention the training methods of the Dragon Guards, which are close to the level of the twentieth century, give them some of the charm of a modern army.

Supplemented by the broken battalion armed with the most advanced combat mode of this era, Zhu Linwei has absolute confidence to completely crush the undefeated myth of the Qing army.

"It seems that there is no way to beat the thief in this battle, so we can only defeat the thief in a head-to-head duel!" He pointed to the map, "Then let's discuss the specific combat deployment." ”

……

"There is no news from Liu Guangbi yet?" Azig frowned at Turai with impatience on his face.

Turai cautiously arched his hand and said: "Back to Lord Belle, there is still no news." He paused for a moment and continued, "I received a secret report from us in Shanguan this morning, saying that the Jiangxi Ming army has another 3,000 people stationed in Shanguan, and it seems that Zhao Yinxuan is leading the army. ”

"Liu Guangbi, this waste!" Hearing this, Azig said angrily, "It's just that I can't cross the Shanguan Pass and join forces, but the Jiangxi Ming army has the spare strength to increase the troops in Shanguan!" ”

Turai said again: "Lord Belle, our army doesn't have much food and grass, I can't wait to start at the same time as Liu Guangbi." ”

Azig looked to the west side, his eyes showed a fierce light, "I don't need him Liu Guangbi, but only three or four thousand Ming troops, my army can take Shanguan in two days!" ”

Before he finished speaking, a guard hurriedly entered the account, knelt down on one knee, and said hurriedly: "Lord Belle, I found a large army of Ming troops twenty miles away!" ”
