Chapter 482 - Only Fighting the Living Force (Page 1/1)

In history, Zheng Chenggong besieged Nanjing with an army of 170,000, and the defenders of Jianguo were only 20,000, but they were still unable to attack for a long time, and it was time for Jianguo to get a respite. Later, the Qing court took advantage of Zheng Chenggong's negligence in reconnaissance and secretly mobilized reinforcements from all over the city to enter the city, and finally gathered 150,000 horses, and defeated Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition army with a long-planned sneak attack.

"The city of Nanjing is on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it won't run." Zhu Linmiao patted Zhang Jiayu on the shoulder and said, "I also want to recover the old capital immediately, but we must not spend all our strength on attacking the city."

"This Nanjing city wall is more than 70 miles long, and with the number of our army, it is extremely difficult to besiege Nanjing. In addition, when the army attacked the city, it was even more dangerous to be attacked by thieves from behind.

"There are still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Nanzhili, even if we try our best to take Nanjing City, as long as we have not destroyed the main force of the captive army, we will still not be able to win this battle. However, if these more than 100,000 thief troops are scattered and attack and sabotage in Nanzhi, Zhejiang and other places, it will be very troublesome. ”

Zhang Jiayu nodded when he heard this, and arched his hand: "What do you mean?" ”

"Do your best to annihilate the living forces of Jianyu! After destroying the 100,000 captives of Nanzhi, where else can Nanjing go? ”

Zhang Jiayu hesitated: "That...... Let's ignore Nanjing for the time being, and turn to find the main force of the thieves for a decisive battle? ”

"No, we're going to send reinforcements! Let Jianyu send it to the door himself. ”

Zhu Linmiao looked at the towering city wall in the distance. Combined with the terrain near Nanjing that he had just observed and the information he had learned before, he already had a complete set of operational plans in his mind, "Although this Nanjing City is still in the hands of the thieves at the moment, who says that it can't be used by us?" ”

Fifteen miles east of Nanjing.

Temporary camp of the Ming army.

An enlarged staff meeting is going on in the big tent of the Chinese army. Not only the main generals of the army, but even Chen Yi and others from the engineer battalion were also ordered to join the meeting.

“…… Feign to besiege Nanjing, and make every effort to destroy the main force of the captive army that rushed to reinforce it! This is the strategy of 'encircling the point and sending reinforcements'. Zhu Linmiao first explained his strategy and continued, "However, if this plan is to be effective, you must scare Hong Chengchou hard and keep him awake at night!" In this way, the Qing troops in various parts of Nanzhi will be transferred back to Nanjing for reinforcements. ”

He pointed to the map of Nanzhili, "Yingtianfu has eight counties under its jurisdiction, six of which are south of the Yangtze River. Jurong County in this has been taken by our army. ”

Jurong is on the east side of Nanjing, sandwiched between Nanjing and Zhenjiang. On the way from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, the Ming army brigade casually fired a few cannons outside the county seat, and the Jianyu puppet Zhixian was so frightened that Kaicheng surrendered.

"In addition, Gaochun County is too far away, so I don't care about it for the time being. In addition, the four counties of Shangyuan, Jiangning, Lishui, and Liyang should be taken as soon as possible. Zhu Linmiao then looked at the generals, "Order Gan Xinda and Gan Hui to lead a dragoon battalion and two thousand infantry to attack Lishui and Liyang in the south." ”

"Yes!"

"Jin Wu and Shi Qin, led 3,000 infantry to break the camp and capture the nearest Shangyuan and Jiangning counties."

"Yes!"

Zhu Linmiao instructed: "Most of the defenders in these places have been transferred to Nanjing, and the city is not high, so it should not be difficult to take them." When the counties around Nanjing have been recovered, and Nanjing is encircled, the city will definitely panic. ”

When he came up, he first corrected the first major mistake of Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition. At that time, the 170,000 Northern Expeditionary Army only surrounded the eight gates of Nanjing, but for these counties that were close at hand, they were brought by the sentence "the county is small and not attacked". So much so that during the attack on Yingtianfu, large and small groups of Qing troops sneaked into Nanjing City from nearby almost every day, and the grain and grass transported were countless.

But even so, at that time, there was a lot of rumors in the city of Nanjing, and people were panicked, and some military officers even proposed to kill all the people in the city to prevent anyone from enlightening.

Therefore, it can be predicted that if the counties around Nanjing were all acquired by the Ming army, and the news in the city was difficult to communicate, how panicked they would be.

Several officers were ordered to leave, and Zhu Linmiao said to Chen Yi again: "To scare Hong Chengchou, this big head has to fall on the engineer battalion." ”

He pointed to the north side of the city of Nanjing, "First of all, there is the Shogunate Mountain, which is less than six miles away from Nanjing, and the terrain is high, which is very conducive to observing the situation in the city here. In the same way, the people of the city have an unobstructed view of the things on the mountain. That's why we're going to build ten watchtowers here that are more than six feet high! ”

He also pointed to the northeast of Nanjing, "Build a fort near Yanziji to look down on the mouth of the river." Yuhuatai also built a few watchtowers here, the more conspicuous the better. ”

Chen Yi's eyes were about to pop out, and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was about to say something, when he heard Zhu Linmiao continue: "Guanyin, Jinchuan, Zhongfu, Yifeng, Jiangdong, Shence, and Taiping in the outer city of Nanjing will all be built outside the main city gates and the city walls will be built with earthen fortifications, and arrow towers will be built on both sides. ”

"Oh, besides," Zhu Linmiao turned to Yu Xin again, "move all the tents out and set them up behind these earthen ramparts." Campfires were set up behind the tents, day and night. ”

"Yes!"

Yu Xin immediately saluted. But Chen Yi didn't do it, and hurriedly said: "My lord, there are nearly thirty watchtowers of this size, eight or nine earthen fortresses several zhang high, plus forts and arrow towers...... With the current manpower of the engineer battalion, even with the help of other soldiers, I am afraid that it will take a month and a half......"

"Well, you're too realistic. It's just to scare Hong Chengchou, and it's not a century-old project. Zhu Linmiao smiled and beckoned to Chen Yi, and whispered in his ear.

Chen Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also became happy, "My lord really has a clever plan!" If so, I promise to build it in ten days, no, in seven days! ”

"By the way, try to act when it is dark, so as not to be seen by the thief." The Qing army also had a lot of binoculars in their hands, but Zhu Linmiao had to guard against this.

"Yes! Adults can rest assured. ”

After arranging the matter of "besieging the city", Zhu Linmiao turned to Zhang Jiayu and Yu Xin and said: "Recently, we must scatter more horses, and the army will be ready to engage at any time." The thieves are cunning and unusual, or they take advantage of my disdain and suddenly go out of the city to attack. ”

Historically, Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition collapsed because of this.

The two hurriedly saluted: "Yes!" Subordinates remember! ”

……

Huang Ding rubbed his sore waist, looked back at the army behind him step by step, and remembered Hong Dutang's urgent order, gathered the little physical strength he had left, and shouted: "Give me two steps away!" Don't think about it if you delay the military plane! ”

As soon as he shouted, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who still has the strength to run so happily at this time?

"General Huang, your people are walking too slowly. I set out a day later than you, and this has caught up with you. ”

Only then did Huang Ding see clearly that it was Yang Chengzu, the chief soldier of Suzhou, who came, and he could vaguely see the Soviet army of his green battalion in the distance.
