Chapter 82: Trickery

[I had a bad cold today, and I was dizzy, and I didn't finish a chapter until eleven o'clock in the evening. The chapters owed must be completed in the future, I hope that book friends can understand and continue to chase the book, and I am grateful. 】

---------------------------------------

"General, my subordinates have personally led people to investigate, and Luxi has indeed basically dried up, and the water flow in the riverbed is less than a zhang wide." One of Ke Yongsheng's confidant officers surrendered his hand.

Luxi is a major tributary of the Xinjiang River, which is usually more than half a mile wide, but this year it is rarely close to breaking off. Extreme drought and flooding alternate, which is also one of the significant characteristics of the Xiaoice climate in the late Ming Dynasty.

"Good!" Ke Yongsheng stood up when he heard this, stroked his palms and laughed, "God really help me!" This time we will definitely be able to wipe out these Ming troops in one fell swoop! ”

A middle-aged man with a yellow face and a short beard standing at the bottom remembered the letter for help sent by Gao Jinku a few days ago, and said with a hesitant expression: "General, General Gao's letter mentioned that this Ming army firearms are fierce......"

"Firearms?" Ke Yongsheng smiled disdainfully, "What kind of firearm does Gao Jinku, a rammer who can only fight hard, know what?" ”

He had already read the report of the Fuzhou war, Gao Jinku was ambushed by 20,000 Ming troops and defeated, this guy only said that the enemy soldiers were powerful when he reported the military situation, and when he asked for help, he said that the weapons were excellent.

Ke Yongsheng snorted coldly in his heart, they are all guys who don't learn and don't know how to do it, how many years have books such as "Fire Attack" and "West Law Divine Machine" been written, and I haven't seen anyone read them seriously. Gao Jinku is still holding the three-eyed gun that is difficult to hurt people ten steps away, and the slightly decent bird gun is afraid that in his eyes are all sophisticated firearms, no wonder he said "firearms are fierce" when he saw that the Ming army had cannons.

Ke Yongsheng, who is "good at learning and strong memorization", is familiar with all kinds of latest military books and works in the Ming Dynasty, and knows that in today's battlefield battles, good firearms are the way to win.

For this reason, he invested almost all the silver he had obtained from years of corruption and looting on his thousands of private soldiers - 3,800 people, and a total of 1,300 bird guns were equipped. The quality is several times better than that made by the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, there were 400 heavy bird guns bought from the Helan people, and the lead bullets fired by these guns weighed a tael! No matter what kind of armor, it is easy to pierce it within a hundred steps.

And his strongest killer weapon is the twelve thousand-pound Franc machine heavy guns, which fire extremely fast, and with the fifteen No. 1 Franc machines, the firepower is very fierce when facing the enemy.

He led the army for many years, and has repeatedly defeated the Kou, and after entering Jiangxi, he swept the Ming Righteous Army more than ten times, and never tasted defeat.

Compared to the essence of firearms, he Ke Yongsheng really didn't fear anyone!

But he is also well versed in the principle that the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, especially since these Ming troops also have several cannons. Therefore, he did not choose to attack head-on, but arranged a strategy of victory.

With Gao Jinku's more than 10,000 troops wiped out first, if he can defeat this Ming army this time, he will definitely be looked down upon by General Jin.

In order to confuse the Ming army, he even mobilized more than 1,000 Qing troops stationed in Xincheng. Now that Luxi has dried up, it is God's help!

Ke Yongsheng confidently glanced at the officers in the tent and assigned everyone's tasks according to the plan.

In the end, he ordered several henchmen: "Li Shiyuan, Zhao Ju, and Zhuyanghua, order your entire department and soldiers to bring enough ten-day rations, and pull out the camp to Luxi to prepare for battle!" ”

"Obey!"

Since Long Weijun entered the Guangxin Realm, the situation encountered by the Long Weijun was completely different from that of Jianchang.

Along the way, the Qing army resisted day by day, and towns of a slight size had to be defended. However, in the face of the strong combat power of the Dragon Guard, these resistances were all quickly broken.

However, since arriving in Yiyang, the Qing army's will to fight has significantly declined.

The Qing army in Yiyang City only defended the city for half a day, and almost all of them abandoned the city and fled that night when it was dark and cloudy.

After Xing'an City and Lead Mountain City, the resistance became weaker and weaker. The defenders of Lead Mountain even heard only a single cannon shot, and immediately fled in swarm.

In Yali, Leadshancheng County, Long Weijun is holding a post-war summary meeting. In fact, there was almost no fighting just now, and the summary meeting almost turned into a planning meeting for the relief of the people in the city.

As in the previous counties, Leadshan was repeatedly plundered by the Qing army, and less than 30% of the people remained in the city, and the streets were full of people who had starved to death or been killed.

"The grain and grass captured by the Qing army this time are not much, and the grain must be transferred from the place where Jianchang Mansion was looted and lightly taught." Su Chengyu is now the prime minister of military affairs in northern Jiangxi, so that he can directly allocate grain and grass between counties, "and the other is to restore the administration here as soon as possible, and the vacant important officials are promoted on the spot......

When the relief arrangements were almost complete, the topic turned back to operational deployment.

"I think that after these battles, Jiannu has become a frightened bird." Li Ying said with a relaxed expression, "You ran so fast just now." ”

Zhao Zhibi immediately continued: "Of course, when attacking Guixi City, those who rushed out desperately, a few rows of artillery were scattered. After that, no Jiannu dared to take the initiative to face the battle. ”

"According to this situation, when we hit Shangrao, it is estimated that there will be no one to defend the city, haha."

As soon as Huang Qishou's words fell, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the hall, and then a hussar ran in and saluted: "Report, my subordinates just explored Shangrao City, only to see that the city gate was hidden, and there was no Jianyu defender at the head of the city!" ”

Shangrao is where the government of Guangxin Mansion is located, and if this place is lost, the Qing army will lose control of Guangxin Mansion.

"What the hell is Ke Yongsheng doing?"

"Want to sing about the empty city? It's a pity that there is no Sima Yi in the Dragon Guard Army. ”

Su Chengyu finally ordered: "Order the whole army to strengthen its vigilance, and send more scouts before Shangrao." ”

"Yes!"

However, it didn't take long for the hussars in charge of detecting the enemy to report that Shangrao was indeed an empty city. There was even a brave cavalryman who slipped into the city, and heard from the common people that the Qing army had fled in a hurry three days earlier, and that many weapons had been left in the city.

The next day, the Longwei army set out for camp, and in a short time it had bypassed Luxi from the east, and it was less than two days away from Shangrao City.

The terrain in front of you resembles a huge dustpan, high on both sides and low in the middle, and it goes downhill from south to north.

When the neat infantry column of the Dragon Guard Army walked into the depression in the middle of the "dustpan", Zhang Jiayu suddenly urged the horse to catch up with Su Chengyu, who was walking in front, and pointed to the surrounding terrain and said urgently: "Commander, after repeated consideration, my subordinates feel that this place is different!" ”

Su Chengyu looked around and nodded thoughtfully, "This time I came to Guangxin, the Qing army first defended everywhere, and then gradually pretended to be discouraged, and even made an empty city to lure us, the original purpose was here." ”

Zhang Jiayu is an expert in ambushes, and immediately surrendered his hand and said: "Your Excellency has seen it, you should immediately order the army to withdraw!" Here the middle is low and the sides are high, if the Qing army ambushes here, our army is in danger! ”

"Ke Yongsheng tried his best to be afraid that I wouldn't come, but in fact, I was even more afraid that he would run away." Su Chengyu shook his head with a smile and said, "If he runs back to Shangrao at this time and holds on with thousands of people, it will take at least half a month to bombard the city with our light field artillery." ”

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the tiger mountains!" He pointed to the depression ahead, "Since the Qing army is waiting for us here, we will go and meet him." ”

"Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to the tiger mountains?" Zhang Jiayu chewed on his words in a daze, only to feel a sky-high arrogance.
