The whole world is a game of chess, the main force of the Han army came to the west, so that the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River revitalized the situation, and A Gui led troops south and connected Huguang and the Central Plains battlefield into one. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Ming sits in Hanyang, Wuchang is under his nose, but his eyes are always looking at the entire Huguang, and the war in Wuchang cannot attract his attention, that is, the battle is a tough battle, and the current generals of the Fu Han Army are enough to solve this kind of battle. Chen Ming is more concerned about the Qing army in other directions, for example, now he is concerned about Shi Liang, the 'strange soldier' who flew from Jingzhou.

It is also strange to say that this Shi Liang is not a very responsible person, but now he is impatient to raise his troops and horses and rush towards Wuchang. This is a very bold one. Chen Ming felt strange because Shi Liang was not such a person in his impression. Chen Ming felt that this person was really complicated, and sometimes it was so strange.

Some people, before the danger comes, smell the slightest bit wrong, and think about leaving early. For example, that Yue Wenhai. stayed well in my hometown in Anhui, wasn't it because I felt bad, and my family moved to the south, but I ended up in the bowl of the dark camp. Now he has become a shareholder of Chen Jigong Shipyard, and Chen Jigong has brought in a Jinshi as a shareholder, which is equivalent to putting a big flag on himself, and his own safety has been greatly improved.

But there are people like Shi Liang, can't he really see the danger of Wuchang? and hurried over. With only 5,000 people in his hands, 2,000 Qing soldiers, and 3,000 people, Zhu Jue was left in Jingzhou to continue to transfer the people of western Hubei. Jingzhou Mansion is next to Yichang and Shi Nan, Shi Nan doesn't talk about it, Yichang can be quite wealthy. It was a node where Sichuan goods entered Hubei, coupled with the recent Sichuan salt, although almost no one in the local area personally came forward to organize the group training, but donated a large amount of money and food to the Yichang government, and the Yichang government itself organized three or four thousand people for the group training, and the number of people continued to increase.

Shi Liang already had three or four thousand Qing troops in his hands, if he patiently waited for the militia groups from all walks of life in western Hubei to gather, how could he gather eight thousand people, right? Shi Liang himself thought so. However, Aligon's letter of urgency made Shi Liang change his mind.

On the battlefield of Wuchang, the Fu Han army fired artillery during the day and fought at night. Although there was a lesson from the first day, the response of the Qing soldiers also made great progress, for example, Enpu organized a lot of bomb throwing teams to hide in the intricate tunnels, and if the Fu Han army came, they would go from the staggered tunnels to the side or tail of the Fu Han army's front and throw grenades. In this way, there are also hand-to-hand combat troops of the Qing army, as long as the offensive banner of the Fu Han army cannot cover the entire Hongshan side, they will always have the opportunity to detour to the flank and back of the night battle troops of the Fu Han army. This also caused some unexpected troubles to the night battles of the Fu Han army, but in general, the Qing army was still at a disadvantage. Because the casualties of the Qing defenders are getting bigger and bigger, whether it is the Qing soldiers, Hubei Lianyong, Hunan Lianyong, their morale is gradually declining.

Ali Gon looked around, and the only ones who could send troops to reinforce in the shortest possible time were Shi Liang from Jingzhou and Fang Shijun who had arrived in Yueyang, so he sent an urgent report asking for help, and even used the tempting fat of the Jingzhou general to lure him to Shi Liang. Today's position as the general of Jingzhou is still held by Aligon.

And what about Shi Liang? His hatred with the Fu Han army is not the same sky, and all the children of the family died under the Fu Han saber, and he can't wait to eat Chen Ming's flesh and drink Chen Ming's blood and sleep Chen Ming's skin. Ali Gon used the position of the general of Jingzhou as a bait, and then guided Shi Liang with personal hatred and national hatred, and finally persuaded him with the current situation in Hubei: "This time, Lord Zhongtang led the troops out of Henan; Ma Junmen led his troops to attack from the Han River; Hunan's Fang Futai army has also arrived in Yueyang, and will soon enter Wuchang Mansion; There is also the Sichuan army in Kuizhou, which has entered Yichang and will march eastward in the near future. With so many armies surrounding Wuhan, Chen Zhiqun is ugly and brave, how can he be a thief? ”

This is a great opportunity to make a difference! Shi Liang was not mentioned in several armies, but it gave Shi Liang a lot of self-confidence.

Because the Qing army has significantly more troops than the Fu Han army. There are more than 20,000 people in Henan's army in the south, plus Ma Mingxun's Sichuan soldiers, there are at least 40,000, and the Sichuan army in Kuizhou Mansion is also seven or eight thousand, and the Hunan Green Battalion led by Fang Shijun has 15,000 troops, which is more than 60,000 people.

The people and horses in Jingzhou haven't been counted yet? There are also the defenders in Wuchang City, the total strength of which is 100,000 people.

Ali Gon said that the whole battle situation in Hubei is like two circles set around one point, this point is Wuchang City, the circle outside Wuchang City is the Fu Han Army, and the circle outside the Fu Han Army is the Qing Army. As long as Wuchang can support the attack of the Fu Han army, then the Qing army will have this battle.

Ali Gon said to Shi Liang that the key to the battle situation in Hubei is how they keep Wuchang, in addition to the more than 20,000 Qing troops in Wuchang City practicing brave and bloody battles, there is also a Qing army outside the city to make a sound, so that the soldiers and horses in the city know that the reinforcements outside have arrived, and encourage the defenders in the city whose morale is now somewhat low.

Ali Gon admitted to Shi Liang that the morale of the Wuchang defenders was average, because they frequently suffered losses in the night battles, and the strength of the Fu Han army in hand-to-hand combat was better than that of the official army, and it was also better than Lian Yong. The Qing army suffered serious blood loss in night battles, and it seemed that even Hongshan could not be saved.

Ali Gon made a little bit of a mystery this time, but to a large extent, it was the honest emergency letter that moved Shi Liang. Because Shi Liang saw an opportunity that belonged to him from it, although Shi Liang's own level of fighting was really average, but the official function was to be the deputy governor, and it was not something he could do with just a surname. Shi Liang really saw his opportunity to ascend the throne of the general of Jingzhou from the real letter, as long as he led the army to appear outside Wuchang City now, there was no need to really break into Wuchang City, as long as he shouted a few times, let the soldiers in the city hear the voice, if Wuchang can be preserved in the future, he will have an indelible merit; If Wuchang really can't be guaranteed, he can also retreat westward safely. There is no danger!

Shi Liang didn't really need to lead his troops to fight a few battles with the Fuhan army, he just stranded his troops outside Wuchang City, fired a few shots, shouted a few times, and let the defenders in the city hear the movement. In Shi Liang's mind, such a danger is very small, but the gain is very large.

As soon as he said and did it, Shi Liang immediately lit up a thousand banner soldiers, a thousand green battalions, and then the three thousand Western Hubei militia groups that had gathered in Jingzhou City. Another big man in Jingzhou City, Zhu Jue himself is also ignorant of soldiers, I heard that Ali Gon asked for help, Shi Liang is leading troops to rescue Wuchang, regardless of whether things can be done or not, Zhu Jue has no reason to stop him, and he still has a very good impression of Shi Liang in his heart. With Ma Mingxun as a precedent, Zhu Jue likes Shi Liang, a military attache who obeys orders. As for whether Zhu Jue thought of the difference between Ma Mingxun and Shi Liang's Manchu and Han Dynasty, no one thought about it.

Part of the banner soldiers in Jingzhou City were the remnants of the Battle of Rolling River, and the other part was transferred by Qianlong to Shaanxi.

Although Jingzhou Mancheng suffered a battle of annihilation, the Jingzhou banner soldiers, as a symbol of Daqingguo's rule in Huguang, Qianlong would not ignore it no matter what. He not only sent a part of the Xi'an flag soldiers into Jingzhou, but also wanted to move the families of the flag soldiers over together. In addition, the remaining banner soldiers in Jingzhou suffered heavy losses because of their families, and many of them became widows, and Qianlong was also planning how to match these people with wives and rebuild Jingzhou.

This is like after the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River 'recovered' Hangzhou, the Hangzhou bannermen hiding in Ningbo immediately returned to Hangzhou with gongs and drums, while the bannermen in Nanjing watched the Qing soldiers in Nanjing-Zhenjiang on the front line with blazing eyes.

In March, preparations for the grain in the south of the Yangtze River had begun to be sent to Tianjin by sea, among which the ships and warships of the navy division from Guangdong gathered in Guangzhou Bay, waiting for the monsoon to blow. And Qianlong never thought of transporting the bannermen from the south of the Yangtze River to Tianjin by sea.

"Driving ......"

Night is gradually falling, hundreds of horses gallop on the loess official road, this Biao cavalry at a glance to know that it is the Eight Banners horse team, the helmet is bright, the crotch of the war horse is strong, the ink helmet is decorated with a long red tassel, with the horse galloping slightly trembling, watching from a distance the majestic and majestic momentum.

They were dressed in white cotton armor adorned with dense golden copper nails. In the March days, the thick cotton armor can already cover people with sweat.

This cavalry is the Jingzhou vest soldiers personally commanded by Shi Liang, the deputy capital commander of Jingzhou.

On a global scale, with the development of firearms, full-body armor is destined to be eliminated. But at least in the current Eastern Battlefield, the deterrence of these Eight Banner Horse Brigades wearing thick cotton armor against the Fu Han Army is still stronger than those Green Battalion Horse Brigades without armor.

Shi Liang, who led this horse team, traveled 500 miles by boat from Jingzhou to the Honghu area in two days. From here, there are only 200 miles left to Wuchang. Shi Liang asked the large army to be stationed far away from the river, and from the Honghu area to the east, the warships of the Fu Han army could be seen on the water surface of the Yangtze River. He himself led the team to the east to explore, and this exploration reached Chibi.

The ancient battlefield of that year is now a land of fish and rice, and the murderous spirit of the soldiers has long been seen. The territory has developed water and land transportation, hills and plains, and lakes are dotted.

"Find a place to rest...... "Captain Goshha shouted as he rode his horse beside Shi Liang.

"Phew, hoo!" The guards grabbed the reins, the cavalry slowly decreased, and there was a village in front of them, and at the moment a few horsemen rode away to see if they could find some meat.

As for whether to rob or buy with silver, Shi Liang didn't care anymore. The disaster suffered by the city of Jingzhou made the remnants of the Battle of the Rolling River bitter for the 2,000 banner soldiers, who hated the Han army, but many people also expanded their hatred to the entire Han people, especially the Han people in Jingzhou City. Why don't they die?

Shi Liang fully understands this violent heart. Didn't he want to kill every Han he saw at the beginning? That irrepressible pain can only be relieved by killing people, only by stabbing the enemy.

Now even those newcomers from Xi'an are slowly assimilated by this emotion.

It was dusk, and the sun slowly burrowed into the thin clouds, turning into a red-red ball. The western sky was covered in large swaths of pink. The cool breeze was blowing, but it didn't blow Shi Liang's excited heart.

Whenever something big happens, people can't help but reverie, or think about the worst ending, or think about the most beautiful outcome. If at the beginning, the imagination in the brain is still half good and half bad, then it will slowly turn to pure beauty. Shi Liang was expecting that he would be able to defeat the blocking forces of the Han army outside Wuchang City, and that the Battle of Wuchang would end with a complete victory for the Qing army. At that time, the defeated Chen Ming will be like a lost dog, fleeing from Hubei with his tail between his legs, and they will go down the river to kill, Jiujiang, Anqing, Nanjing ......, kill them all, kill them all, kill them without leaving a piece of armor!
