When Jin Shenghuan fled back to his army, his deputy general Wang Deren offered a plan, saying that he knew Zhang Jiayu's subordinate Zhao Heng and could rebel against him.

When Zhang Jiayu learned of this, he asked Zhao Heng to pretend to surrender, and then set up an ambush in the valley. After that, he acted in a drama where Zhao Heng turned against the water and his army collapsed.

Jin Shenghuan saw that Zhang Jiayu's large army had fled, and immediately commanded the whole army to raid, intending to avenge the last ambush.

As a result, he was ambushed again. Zhang Jiayu led the main force back to intercept and kill, drove Jin Shenghuan's army down the river, and drowned more than half of them.

When Su Chengyu heard this, he had a great impression of Zhang Jiayu, and he was able to defeat Jin Shenghuan's 10,000 army with 2,000 weak brigades left by Zheng Cai, and it seems that there are still many generals in the Ming army.

Later, Wan Yuan Ji continued to introduce the black-faced and tall Jiangxi Governor Jie Chongxi, as well as several of his own subordinates.

A few people were saluting Su Chengyu, when they heard Zhu Youzhen say lukewarmly on the side: "This ceremony should be about the same, right?" The thieves won't wait for us long, I said Wan Daren......"

Wan Yuan Ji hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Yes, yes, let's discuss the strategy of the army first." ”

Everyone sat down, and Wan Yuan Ji said first: "This time, Gao Jinku brought 15,000 people to invade Fuzhou. This morning, the Malay newspaper showed that its forward was close to Luxi. Do you have any good plans to retreat from the enemy? ”

Wu Zhifan, as Wan Yuanji's confidant, took the lead and said: "My lord, although our army is outnumbered by the enemy. However, the various departments are unfamiliar with each other, and there is no cooperation, and the thieves are fierce, so the subordinates think that they should rely on Jinxi City to defend it to avoid its edge. ”

Jinxi County is the easternmost county in Fuzhou, dozens of miles away from Luxi.

Su Chengyu saw Wan Yuan Ji nodding slightly, and he knew that it was not good, the habit of the Ming generals who preferred to defend the city was really terrible. Gao Jinku is not alone in the depths of the army, you hold on for a few days and he will withdraw when he runs out of food and grass. Behind him is Jianchang Mansion, where there is an endless supply of grain and grass, and if the Ming army retreats into the city at the beginning, it will lose its sharp spirit first.

Wan Yuanji's subordinates themselves are mainly newly recruited recruits, and if this spirit is lost, morale will inevitably be low, and there will really be no need to fight later.

The terrain of Fuzhou is high in the east and low in the west, which is very unfavorable to the Ming army attacking to the east. At present, we should immediately move eastward, seize the advantageous terrain, take advantage of the unstable foothold of the high warehouse, and give a head-on blow to frustrate its edge.

Su Chengyu even wanted to immediately lead the Longwei army to set out, quickly seize the high ground east of Jinxi County, and carry out a surprise attack on the Qing army's advance as soon as it entered Fuzhou.

With the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Guard, he had full confidence in defeating the forward troops of Gao Jinku.

However, the will given to him by Longwu was to assist Wan Yuan Ji to capture the captives, and he still had to follow the strategic deployment of the Ming army.

He was about to suggest a quick attack on the Qing army, when he heard Zhang Jiayu beside him say: "Wandutang, the lower officials think that it is not suitable to defend the city."

"Jinxi City is short and difficult to rely on. This is one of them.

"Put the army in Jinxi City, if the thief army goes around the west of the city and advances quickly with cavalry, it can reach Linchuan in one day. The defense of Fuzhou Mansion is empty, and the city will be in danger at that time. This is the second one. ”

"Just tell me how you're going to fight." Zhu Youzhen shouted.

"The best policy, the army immediately pulls out the camp and marches eastward, and when the Qing army just crosses the Lufang River in the west, it will be a complete victory!"

Su Chengyu nodded when he heard this, and before he could speak, he listened to Wan Yuan Ji and said: "The enemy army is menacing, and it is probably inappropriate to engage in battle rashly......

He has the most conservative character, and the defense of Ganzhou in history is because he has not dared to take the initiative, resulting in the loss of the strategic initiative, and finally Ganzhou City was besieged when he remembered to break through.

"Xia Guan has a safe strategy." Zhang Jiayu seemed to expect that he would be opposed by Wan Yuanji, and immediately continued, "We can set up an ambush."

"First engage the Qing army east of Jinxi, and feign defeat to lure the enemy. Our army ambushed the army in the lower reaches of the Shuangchen River, where the terrain is long and narrow, and there are hills north of the Shuangchen River.

"When the enemy is ambushed, he will be defeated and flee to the north and south. If our army sets up an ambush on the back of the hill in advance, and another team of men and horses is ambushed on the other side of the Shuangchen River, it will be able to completely annihilate the thief army! ”

Since Wan Yuan Ji strongly opposed the initiative, in the end, this ambush plan became almost the only option.

In fact, Su Chengyu was not very satisfied with this, but it was better than defending the city, so in order not to affect the deployment of the whole army, he finally chose to accept this plan.

All that remains is the assignment of tasks.

As an expert in ambush warfare, Zhang Jiayu took on the task of luring the enemy. And his team of old and weak soldiers is the most realistic to use to lure the enemy.

Su Chengyu originally wanted to take on the task of frontal blockade, and the flintlock rate and firepower density of the Long Wei Army's equipment were much higher than those of other Ming troops, and the formation of a line formation would inevitably give the enemy huge damage in a short time.

But Wan Yuan Ji shook his head again, "Your Highness, Your Majesty knows that most of your soldiers are soldiers, with hundreds of cavalry. Once the enemy army rushes forward and forces you to engage in hand-to-hand combat, how can this soldier be able to defeat the enemy? ”

Bayonets, of course! Su Chengyu was just about to answer, when he heard Zhu Youzhen snort, "It is said that your new battalion has only been training for a few months, how can you rest assured that you will be able to resist the enemy head-on?" Not to mention that it is all guns, hum, there is an army in the world that uses firearms, I really don't know who taught you. ”

"It's not up to you to decide whether you can fight or not." Su Chengyu was also a little angry, and said coldly, "Either our two armies will compete against each other, or it will be better than close combat, how about it?" ”

Wan Yuan Ji hurriedly jumped out to play a round, "His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou, why don't you lead the army and set up an ambush in the hills." Relying on the high ground is conducive to shooting the enemy with birds. ”

Zhang Jiayu also said: "Although the lower reaches of the Shuangchen River are narrow, they are also nearly three miles wide. His Royal Highness has only one battalion of troops, and it may not be enough to block the enemy head-on. And the firearms of our department together are not as many as His Highness, and His Highness is very well ambushed on the north side. ”

Su Chengyu saw that the people present did not trust the combat power of the Long Wei Army, so he didn't say much at the moment. How can we work together without trust?

Everything is focused on the victory of the Ming army. After the Dragon Guards have gone through a few battles, they will understand the combat power of the Dragon Guards, and only then can they voluntarily cooperate with the Dragon Guards as the core.

And when it comes to the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly, and it is difficult to say where the main is and where is the secondary, and the flank ambush may not be an easy job.

Seeing that Su Chengyu no longer insisted, Wan Yuan Ji was also relieved, he was most worried that this King of Chenzhou was also like Zhu Youshu who loved to make claims, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou still respected his overall arrangement as a coach.

"Then the main force will be led by the lower officials, plus the soldiers and horses under the command of King Yongning, to resist the enemy in the front."

"The morale of my Xinwei army is high, and we should be able to resist the enemy head-on!" Su Guansheng, a university scholar, immediately answered.

Wan Yuan Ji hurriedly said: "Master Su, your department has just been formed......

"I eat the king's fortune, think of the king's grace, just to serve the saint with this battle, how can I retreat?! Zi said, although tens of millions of people go to ......"

Wan Yuan Ji was made as big as a fight by his large set of "Zi Yue Meng Yue", thinking that he was only 2,000 people, he was simply placed behind his own brigade, which should have little impact on the overall situation.

So he nodded reluctantly, "Then Lord Su's subordinates will meet the enemy with me." ”

Su Guansheng smiled with satisfaction: "That's right." ”

In the end, the troops and horses of the various units were deployed.

Zhang Jiayu's 2,000 men were responsible for feints and lure the enemy in.

The main force of 8,000 people and the 4,000 men of the Yongning Wang's army, plus 2,000 people of the Xinwei army, were responsible for the frontal blockade.

The Dragon Guard set up an ambush on the northern hills to wait for the Qing army.

Jie Chongxi led 2,000 men and horses to ambush on the south bank of the Shuangchen River, and if the enemy crossed the river and fled, he would attack half of it.
