Chapter 1135: A Decisive Battle (1)

(Thank you for voting for your precious monthly ticket on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and thank you for the reward of not choosing the middle route, thank you.) )

Liu Zeqing was already in a hurry, he didn't expect that in just one day, the Jiangning battalion occupied the Haining Wei station, and the sergeant did not rest, directly launched an attack, quickly occupied Haiyan County, and came towards the place where Jiaxing Fucheng was located.

As the chief soldier, Liu Zeqing knew very well that the army marched without the slightest stagnation, and it was not easy to march quickly while fighting, which showed that the Jiangning battalion was truly combative, and the determination of the people was clear, that is, it was coming for the army led by him.

After being in a state of peace for a long time, Liu Zeqing was a little relaxed, and the sergeant was even more relaxed.

The army is stationed in the military camp five miles away from Jiaxing Fucheng, this military camp is specially built after Liu Zeqing came to Zhejiang, the military camp is very large, ordinary people are not allowed to approach here, the military salary allocated by the imperial court before, it is really pitiful, Chongzhen nine years later, the situation has only improved slightly, with the long time stationed in Jiaxing Mansion, Liu Zeqing also thought of some ways, of course, the first way, or work hard from the field, 100,000 troops, the need for a lot of official fields, Liu Zeqing has found the governor of Zhejiang many times, and then under the supervision of the imperial court, he finally implemented the official land, a total of 50,000 hectares of cultivated land, that is, each sergeant has about five acres of cultivated land, so much arable land, I think it is completely solved by Jiaxing Mansion. It is not very realistic, so the cultivated land owned by the army is distributed in Jiaxing, Huzhou and other places.

The army led by Liu Zeqing is different from the army of the guard, although there are also garrison soldiers among them, but the proportion is not very high. For example, it is impossible to directly send troops to cultivate the more than 10,000 hectares of cultivated land far away in Huzhou.

The emperor ordered Liu Zeqing to lead a large army to resist the Jiangning battalion, in fact, Liu Zeqing could act immediately, and over the years, the army has also accumulated a lot of wealth.

The military situation was urgent, and Liu Zeqing ordered the sergeants in Hangzhou and Huzhou. Quickly returned, without the slightest delay, he already knew that the Jiangning battalion sergeants led by Su Tiancheng had a total of 40,000 people, and in terms of numbers, the army led by himself had an absolute advantage. And familiar with the terrain here, according to the right time, place and people. At least the time and place are completely occupied, and as for the people, the Jiangning camp also does not have this advantage.

There were 50,000 troops left in the barracks, and the other 50,000 troops, 30,000 were collected in Huzhou and 10,000 in Hangzhou. 10,000 are distributed in the prefectures and counties to which Jiaxing Prefecture belongs, and the sergeants in the prefectures and counties of Jiaxing Prefecture have learned the news and began to return to the barracks one after another, but the sergeants in the direction of Huzhou and Hangzhou. It will be some time before it is possible to return to the barracks.

This is also what Liu Zeqing is most worried about, if the sergeants can't return to the team in time, then the advantage in the number of the army no longer exists, even if all the sergeants scattered in Jiaxing Fuzhou County return to the team, it is only 60,000 people, and in the face of 40,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers, there is not much advantage at all.

Liu Zeqing didn't think about the tactical arrangement of the Jiangning battalion before and after, what he thought of was that the army had all entered the city of Jiaxing and relied on the strong city wall to hold on, so at this time, the army was working hard to carry grain and grass, and in Jiaxing City, it began to clean up the households and clear out the place for the army to be stationed.

What seems to be the most stupid tactical deployment is actually the most effective tactical deployment. Liu Zeqing is clear about this, the army is more effective than any tactic, as long as there is sufficient grain and grass, it can be maintained for a long time, and what is more advantageous is that it can ensure that the strength does not suffer too many losses.

In just half a day, 40,000 troops entered the city of Jiaxing.

There are already chickens and dogs jumping in the city, so many troops are stationed, they can't stay in the open air, and they must have houses to live in, so the officials of the government and the sergeants of the inspection department of the city began to requisition the people's houses, as for where the people live after being kicked out, then there is no need to worry.

After entering the city, Liu Zeqing began to think about it, no matter how aggressively Su Tiancheng attacked, there was no direct contradiction between him and Su Tiancheng, and under possible circumstances, the two sides still negotiated peace, not to fight face-to-face, but to do such a thing, it needs to be kept secret, fortunately, Liu Zeqing had thought about this aspect before, and had already secretly arranged his henchmen to prepare, so at this time, Liu Zeqing did not hesitate, immediately called his henchmen, and after some discussion, he ordered his henchmen to go out of the city and find Su Tiancheng directly, The two sides sat down to negotiate.

Even if the negotiations can't succeed, at least they can stall for time.

Liu Zeqing is stepping up his actions, and Su Tiancheng is not idle.

The way of the attack has long been clear, the purpose is to exterminate the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing, as for the combat effectiveness of these sergeants, Su Tiancheng knows it in his heart, compared to the Houjin Tartar, the difference is too far, but it is still stronger than the army of the guard, in the face of such an army, the battle will not be particularly fierce, I am afraid that when the city is broken, the vast majority of the sergeants, the first choice is to surrender.

It's a pity that Su Tiancheng won't recruit these sergeants, and it's unrealistic to kill them all, but the officers and sergeants who have done a lot of evil and robbed the people too much will definitely be difficult to survive

Liu Tiehan personally led the scout battalion, and he had already detected the accurate news, the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing, nearly half of which were sergeants, were still collecting military salaries outside, of which 30,000 were in Huzhou, 10,000 were in Hangzhou, and the other 10,000 were distributed in the prefectures and counties to which Jiaxing Prefecture belonged.

This is also a lesson, the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion are in Zhejiang, and they have seen a completely different battle from before, the opponent is not strong at all, and they will not think about fighting hard, but the opponent's ability to escape is not small, which requires the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion to move faster than the opponent and must prevent the opponent from escaping.

After receiving Liu Tiehan's report, Su Tiancheng slightly changed his decision to directly attack Jiaxing Fucheng.

He is going to take the battle deployment of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, and only in this way can he destroy the opponent's vitality to the greatest extent.

Qu Qingze, Liu Tiehan, Qin Rui, He Renlong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo and others were all in the Chinese military tent, including Wu Weiye, who stood aside and watched, he had been appointed as a marching staff officer to directly assist Su Tiancheng in handling daily affairs.

Su Tiancheng looked at everyone, pointed to the sand table on the table and spoke.

"My consideration is to adopt the tactical arrangement of besieging the city and sending reinforcements, the specific operation method is that Liu Tiehan led 10,000 soldiers to surround Jiaxing Fucheng, but do not attack for the time being, He Renlong and Ai Nengqi led 20,000 soldiers, straight into the direction of Xiushui, to meet the 30,000 people who came back from Huzhou, Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo led 10,000 soldiers, directly into the direction of Tongxiang and Chongde, to meet the 10,000 people who came back from Hangzhou, that is to say, our purpose is first to exterminate the 40,000 people scattered in the periphery."

"These few battles, you have all experienced, the army led by Liu Zeqing, the combat effectiveness is not very good, but most of them are soldiers, know how to escape, the battle situation is a little unfavorable, I am afraid it will collapse, scattered and escaped, so you also have to change the tactical arrangement, I still say the same thing, we need to make dumplings, not to chase ducks, if you let the opponent escape, your battle will be considered a failure, these fleeing defeated soldiers are a huge danger to the locality, they may not care about anything, He who plundered the people with impunity. ”

"He Renlong, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, this time you led the army, fighting alone, the overall combat mission was arranged, how to fight, how to achieve the greatest victory, how to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, you all arranged it yourself, the artillery battalion is divided into three parts, half stayed, surrounded Jiaxing Fucheng, the other half, two-thirds by He Renlong, Ai Nengqi direct command, one-third by Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo direct command."

"Encircle and suppress the army in the direction of Huzhou, He Renlong is the commander-in-chief, Ai Nengqi is the deputy, encircle and suppress the army in the direction of Hangzhou, Liu Wenxiu is the commander-in-chief, and Li Dingguo is the deputy."

"I hope you can work together to complete this battle beautifully, once Liu Zeqing's army is wiped out, the entire Zhejiang, we will be able to completely take it down, there will be basically no battle behind, the sooner the better, then our task is still very heavy, the next target is Nanzhili, there are a lot of imperial troops stationed in Nanzhili, we may encounter some vicious battles, so we must be prepared for everything."

Everyone has an excited look on their faces, the soldiers take combat as their duty, and then they will face a series of battles, after taking Zhejiang, they will soon move to Nanzhili, and then unify the entire Central Plains.

After arranging everything, Su Tiancheng accentuated his tone.

"The behavior of the sergeants under Liu Zeqing's command, you have all seen what they do, what they do is worse than bandits, such an army, how can the people support it, how can the court not know what the army below has become, but what has the court done, such a court, I will never support it." Our army, must not allow such behavior, otherwise no matter who is involved, it must be severely punished, there is a point of view, I often communicate with you, here we need to emphasize again, you follow me to fight in the north and south, and even unify the entire Central Plains, glory and wealth are indispensable to you, but if anyone thinks that from now on can do nonsense, can fish the people, do not blame me for being welcome.
