From a cautious point of view, Lu Xiangsheng still wanted to report to Su Tiancheng, after all, making such an arrangement is not trivial, every battle to attack Nanzhili involves the overall situation and the overall deployment, although Lu Xiangsheng believes in his heart that this battle is ultimately a complete victory for the Jiangning battalion, but it can speed up the time schedule and minimize losses, which is the most important purpose, not to mention that after the battle of Nanzhili begins, what is the situation in Liaodong, and will the Houjin Tartars take the opportunity to attack, Whether the grassland can be stabilized or not is a matter that needs to be considered, and it is also something that Su Tiancheng pays great attention to.

However, the operation of a large army, especially a large-scale campaign, also has its own rules, that is, the commander must earnestly shoulder his responsibilities, and cannot have the idea of dependence, and cannot require all specific combat deployments to be decided by the above, so it is easy to lose fighters and develop a kind of inert thinking.

Lu Xiangsheng knows very well that this is a rare opportunity for him, and it is also an excellent opportunity, if he can make an accurate judgment independently this time, he may be the same as Hong Chengchou in the future, and he will be able to command large-scale operations, you must know that there are still too many battles behind the Jiangning battalion, if he can't successfully complete the combat mission delivered by Su Tiancheng this time, it will be difficult to say in the future, and he may be reduced to a staff officer.

After making a decision, Lu Xiangsheng didn't continue to say more, and Li Dingguo quickly went to arrange.

There are still a lot of things that need to be done, although it is said that the city of Guangdezhou has not suffered the baptism of war, but the atmosphere of panic in the city has been spreading, and the situation in the city must be stabilized, and there can be no accidents. Everything will be decided after Su Tiancheng comes to the state city.

When it was almost dark, Su Tiancheng led the rest of the army to the state city.

By this time, the army had made all preparations and was about to set off.

After Lu Xiangsheng saluted Su Tiancheng, he prepared to report all the matters. Including the judgment he made, at this time, his heart was apprehensive, if Su Tiancheng did not agree with this arrangement, then it would prove that he might be wrong.

Who knew that Su Tiancheng waved his hand and did not let Lu Xiangsheng speak.

"Lord Lu, everything is ready, don't report at this time, let's act quickly. As for the situation of the battle, the herald has already reported it, so there is no need to say more. ”

Lu Xiangsheng was a little speechless with excitement, the so-called employment is not suspicious and suspicious, as a monarch, he must have such a bearing, otherwise the officials below will do things, shrink their hands and feet, and don't know what to do. However, Su Tiancheng's trust is also too much. Not even listening to one's own report, this should require a lot of endurance and trust.

"Your Highness, your subordinates will definitely live up to their mission."

After Lu Xiangsheng led the army to set off, Qu Qingze was a little curious.

"Your Highness, the matter reported by Lord Lu seems to be very important to his subordinates. Why didn't Your Highness listen? ”

"Lao Qu, Lu Xiangsheng is also experienced in a hundred battles, and I already know the matter he wants to report, so why do I need to listen to it again. Waste of time not to say, but also make Lu Xiangsheng feel worried, in fact, Lu Xiangsheng has an extraordinary ability, but unfortunately the court did not find out, did not give full trust to others, Lu Xiangsheng's analysis of the Ming army's reinforcements is very accurate, in other words, I may not be able to make such an accurate analysis. ”

"Your Highness, your subordinates also think that Lord Lu's analysis is very accurate, the key is that the army has gained time, Li Dingguo has made a great contribution this time, and his subordinates really can't imagine it, the army led by Zuo Liangyu has 200,000 people, and the combat effectiveness is so weak, what is the effect of just having a number of people."

"Lao Qu, don't be contemptuous, there are indeed some problems in the Ming army, but this is all because the generals are not able to grasp it well, our side is relatively smooth, but Hong Chengchou led the army to fight with Huang Degong, I'm afraid it will not be so smooth, the sergeants under Huang Degong are still relatively combative."

Qu Qingze lowered his head and stopped talking, in fact, he thought that Hong Chengchou could also achieve victory in a very short time, after all, Hong Chengchou led an army of 60,000, facing an army of 30,000 troops stationed in Suzhou, more than double the strength advantage, to say that it could not achieve victory, that would be a rare thing.

Lu Xiangsheng and the sergeant, galloping on horseback, marching in the dark, there are many inconvenient places, 40,000 troops are silently hurrying, no one speaks, and no one is left behind, the battle outside Kuling Pass and Guangdezhou City has stimulated the greatest fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the soldiers who participated in the fight want to get more military merits, and there are no soldiers who can participate in the fight, but they also want to be able to make military merits.

It is important to know that after the road set off from Yuhang, all the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion were out of the rapid march, and there was little time to rest, and they traveled long distances continuously, and they had to fight and fight, and the fatigue level was conceivable, but after receiving the order to set off, no soldiers complained, and they all set off according to the requirements.

Lu Xiangsheng has made up his mind, if he makes a mistake because of his own judgment and prediction, he will take the initiative to ask Su Tiancheng for his guilt, and from then on, he will no longer think that he is experienced in a hundred battles, and start from small things in a down-to-earth manner.

When the sky was dark, the army arrived in Guang'an.

Guang'an is a small town under the jurisdiction of Guangdezhou, bordering Ningguo Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion to which Zhejiang belongs.

The Ming army stationed in Ningguo Mansion was not in the location of the Fucheng, the Fucheng was in Xuancheng, which was still a little far away from Zhejiang, so the Ming army was stationed in Ningguo County and Shikou Town, which was very close to Guang'an, and the straight-line distance was no more than 100 miles, even if it was a foot march, it could be easily reached within a day.

It was not until Guang'an that Lu Xiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was very worried, because the Ming army stationed in Ningguo County, if it moved quickly and arrived in Guang'an in advance, it was very likely that the battle situation in Guangdezhou City would be learned from the mouths of the nearby people, or from other channels.

Fortunately, Guang'an is still very calm.

The scouts had already begun to scout around, focusing on the Ming army in the direction of Ningguo County.

Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande's orders were conveyed as quickly as possible, after all, the battle had already begun, and many heralds knew the priority of the matter, and they would never dare to delay it at this time.

The deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming army stationed in Ningguo Mansion received an order in the middle of the night.

The deputy commander-in-chief originally thought that after dawn, he ordered the army to set off to reinforce Guangdezhou, and it would be enough to leave about 10,000 sergeants in Ningguo County and Shikou Town, but the staff around him suggested that he should immediately assemble the army according to the requirements of the order, and set off immediately after breakfast.

Thinking about the military order sent in the middle of the night, the deputy commander-in-chief also felt that it could not be delayed, if he was held accountable by the commander and the supervising army because of the delay in time, it would be too cost-effective.

The barracks were set up outside the county seat, and in the middle of the night, an urgent trumpet sounded, and the sleeping sergeant immediately got up.

An hour later, the army that had eaten breakfast set out.

In this process, the deputy commander-in-chief and his staff and his officers discussed, and made a decision, from Guang'an into Guangdezhou, and then directly into Guangdezhou City, as for Kuling Pass, there is no need for reinforcements, I am afraid that the Jiangning battalion has already occupied that pass, of course, Zhu Youxiang and Qin Sande's orders are also to require the army to enter Guangdezhou from Guang'an, and require the army to drag the Jiangning battalion at all costs, to buy time for the next action, as for what action, It is impossible for this deputy chief soldier to know the truth.

When the army set off, the momentum was still good, most of the Ming army was stationed outside the county seat of Ningguo, and the Ming army stationed in Shikou Town was only 5,000 people.

In the process of marching, the deputy commander-in-chief was still discussing with his officers why Su Tiancheng would order the Jiangning battalion to attack from the direction of Guangdezhou, according to the above predictions, the greatest possibility was to launch an attack from Huizhou and threaten Ningguofu, or to launch an attack from both Huizhou and Ningguofu at the same time.

With the above order, the deputy commander-in-chief was much bolder, and ordered the army to march as fast as possible, striving to arrive in Guang'an as soon as possible, and once entering Guang'an, it was necessary to strengthen the reconnaissance of intelligence to see what Guangdezhou was like and where the Jiangning battalion had attacked.

As for the journey between Ningguo County and Guang'an, there is no need to spend much energy to investigate, and it is not yet dawn, even if the scouts go out to investigate, it is difficult to obtain valuable information.

The thunderous offensive of the Jiangning battalion has indeed achieved the best effect, and no one would have thought that in just over a day, the 50,000 Ming troops stationed in Guangdezhou have completely collapsed, and almost no one can escape.

As long as he does a good job in accordance with the requirements in the letter, it will be very easy to get promoted, and it is very possible to take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted to the general soldier.

As for the bravery of the Jiangning battalion and the casualties that may be caused by the next battle, the deputy commander-in-chief has not thought of so much, and there are always dead people in battle, which is not a big deal. (To be continued......)
