Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 221 Establishing the Wartime Headquarters (Part [-])
Just like Duoduo is convening his subordinates and generals to discuss the siege of the city at this moment.

At this time, Zhu Youjian also ordered officials above the commanders of the guard battalions to enter the city to discuss the next matter of annihilating the Duoduo tribe.

Although it is a decisive battle, after all, it is a battle of tens of thousands of people. Naturally, it is not like a group fight. It starts hastily and then ends hastily.

Therefore, at this moment, Yangzhou City did not have the noise and shouts of yesterday, but became quiet and terrifying.

Zhu Youjian was already standing on the tower at this time.

Overlooking the entire Yangzhou city, within the field of vision, there are already hundreds of thousands of armored men beyond sight.

The infantrymen of the Guards have begun to build sand piles around the city or the city wall, dig some necessary trenches, and build basic defensive bunkers for shooting.

The cavalry of the Guards has already started to dismount and feed the horses with beans to ensure that the horses have sufficient combat power when fighting.

The Qing army is also stepping up the adjustment of the gun positions of the red cannons, and is also starting to recharge its batteries. From time to time, Qing army cavalry will come to the city of Yangzhou to check the situation of the guards defending Yangzhou.

The nearly [-] cavalry of the Qing army were arranged outside the city of Yangzhou in a figure-eight pattern, and the red cannons were in the center, so as to protect the red cannons from the cavalry. Come into town.

The first and third guards still control the east, west, north, and four directions of the nearly [-] cavalry of the Qing army respectively. Among them, only the first regiment of the second guard army guards outside the city gate, while The Second Corps of the Second Army is on both sides of the city gate.

The governors-in-chief of each army, the deputy commander-in-chief of each corps, and the commanders of each battalion have all entered Yangzhou City one after another at this time.

Zhu Youjian also immediately went down to Yangzhou City. At this time, the situation of the Qing army's cavalry was always being watched, so he naturally didn't have to stand here every day.

"Your Majesty, may I go with you?"

At this time, Li Xiangjun came over. She knew that so many Guards officers had entered Yangzhou City, and His Majesty's face sank, it must be about the Qing army cavalry outside the city.

As the person in charge of Guangming Daily, she was naturally very interested in this kind of military meeting in the Generalissimo's Mansion about how to deal with the nearly [-] cavalry of the Duduo Department.

Zhu Youjian agreed to Li Xiangjun's request, and only asked her to attend this kind of highest-level military council in Ming Dynasty, dressed in Jinyiwei and flying fish suit.

Each battalion of the Great Ming Guards consisted of about 6000 people, and there were more than [-] or [-] officials at the battalion level in the [-]-strong army. Although some had to stay outside the city, they obeyed the orders of the commander-in-chief and were vigilant against the Qing army. trend.

But at this moment, in the Yangzhou River Governor's Office, there are no less than a hundred civil servants and military generals crowded here.

However, no one speaks casually at this moment. Everyone knows that this is the time when the great war is approaching, and life and death are at stake, so there is no mood to exchange pleasantries.

The civil servants and military generals present were either the heroic generals of the frontier army who had become famous in the past, or the romantic celebrities who returned the feather fan, the scarf and the crown a year ago.

But at this moment, after almost all of them had contact with the Tartars, everyone's face was filled with determination.

"Currently nearly [-] cavalrymen of the Qing army are holding arrows outside the city of Yangzhou, and hundreds of thousands of guards have also gathered here. Will this decisive battle be as we imagined, a battle to annihilate the Qing army? The decisive battle is still unknown at this time, but I believe that as long as all the officers and men are of one heart and one mind, and with the support of thousands of people behind us, this goal will be achieved!"

Zhu Youjian came in at this time and said something first, and began to elaborate on the typical battles of the guards in their previous contact with the Qing army, and shared their experiences with the commanders.

Although the big battle is imminent, Zhu Youjian did not show the slightest panic. Naturally, it takes a lot of measurement to eat nearly [-] cavalry.

In fact.

In this period of almost one month, the First Guards Army, in addition to the First Corps, and the Second Corps have wiped out [-] cavalry under Zhunta's troops in Peixian County.

Although the First Corps of the First Army of the Guards had never participated in the battle against the Qing army, it had previously undertaken the main task of annihilating the [-] elite troops of Zuo Liangyu's troops, and it can be regarded as having combat experience against cavalry.

The First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards fought a battle in Mengcheng, and even killed the deputy governor of Hubei.

The Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards fought a battle of Dingyuan and captured Geng Jingzhong.

That is to say, the Second Army of the Guards, which was in charge of defending Gyeonggi, did not participate in real combat, but the commander-in-chief He Xin and an infantry battalion commander Xia Yunyi and others followed Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian to experience Henan once.

Xia Yunyi's tribe had a record of killing dozens of white armored cavalry of the Qing army.

Therefore, the main force of the current guards is basically not the new army that has not fought as before. In addition, the first battle gave them a good start, and the spirit and spirit of the army are still there.

When the deputy commander-in-chief of each corps and the commander-in-chief of each corps expressed their views on commanding infantry and cavalry to deal with the Tartars, the guards also had a clearer understanding of the Qing cavalry.

Basically, I know when the Qing cavalry will collapse, how far the strongest white armored soldiers of the Qing army can shoot bows and arrows, and how brave the Manchu cavalry are on horseback. Only a few guard cavalry can jointly resist.

Even the commander-in-chief of each corps and the governor He corps also expressed their views on how to command this decisive battle.

After all the civil servants and generals finished speaking, it was already night, and the sound of artillery outside the city was still not heard, and Zhu Youjian also began to determine the establishment of a wartime headquarters here.

He Xin, Zhou Yuji, Liu Fangliang, the chief officers of each corps, and himself, the emperor, sat in the city of Yangzhou and commanded the operations of each corps.

The Second Corps of the First Army of the Guards was directly commanded by the deputy commander-in-chief Ma Yingkui, and the First Corps of the Third Army was directly commanded by the deputy commander-in-chief Wang Guangxing.

At the same time, Shi Kefa, together with Ma Shiying, Li Banghua, Lu Zhenfei, Li Mingrui, and Liu Kongzhao, is responsible for the command of strategic materials deployment.

Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here, and the daily food consumption, epidemic hygiene and military discipline maintenance were not simple projects.

Naturally, Zhu Youjian did not rest that night, but convened the members of the headquarters overnight to discuss how to command these 10 people to annihilate the Duduo Department of the Qing Army.

With a scale of tens of thousands of people, only Liu Fangliang and Zhou Yuji had direct command experience. He Xin and himself only cleaned up Liu Zeqing on the way to the south, but Zhu Youjian knew that it was just his status as the emperor. Opening and hanging is no different.

Therefore, at this moment, he had to listen more carefully to Zhou Yuji and Liu Fangliang's advice.

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, before annihilating Duduo's [-] cavalry, we must first ensure that Yangzhou City is not lost. This is the reason why Duduo is still here, and the biggest reason why Duduo attacked Yangzhou City is not his. Nearly [-] cavalry, but his hundreds of red cannons!"

Zhou Yuji first said something at this time, as a veteran guarding the border town for several years, even if he had not participated in the battle of defending the soil in Henan, he could guess the reason why the Qing army was able to attack the city so quickly.
