Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 394 Offensive and Defensive Translocation
Hong Chengchou really panicked this time.

He originally wanted to keep calm as much as possible, try to give the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops under his command an image of being calm and wise, so as to stabilize the morale of the troops.

But now, when he heard the news that Yangwu had fallen, food and grass had been burned, and Sun's Ferry had been taken, he couldn't help jumping up at last, and hastily issued a military order to seize Sun's Ferry.

Not only Hong Chengchou, but other major generals of the Qing army also began to panic.

In fact, no one needs to explain, the destruction of food, the cutting off of food roads and retreats already means the defeat of the war.

It is impossible for the main generals of the Qing army, such as Hong Chengchou and Luck Dehun, to not understand this military common sense. Naturally, they also know that the Qing army has no hope of going south to destroy the Ming. .

The offensive and defensive positions were changed quietly. In just two months, the strategic situation between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to gradually change.

Luck Dehun didn't say anything more, and he didn't express his opinion because Hong Chengchou ordered Zhou Ze to go south to capture the Xingshan Camp. Now he only knows how to keep his thousands of Manchurian cavalry and retreat. As for Zhou Ze, the coated slave, He didn't bother to think about it anymore.

Wu Sangui, Jin Li, Meng Qiaofang and other generals of the Qing army also only looked at Zhou Ze sympathetically. Now they all understand that the army must be retreating, and Zhou Ze is actually just a chess piece discarded by Hong Chengchou in order to attract the guards. The main force of the army and the purpose of blocking the Guards.

Zhou Ze showed a depressed look.

Of course, he is indeed very depressed now, but what he is depressed about is when Hong Chengchou's hundreds of thousands of main force of the Qing army join forces to seize the Sunjia Ferry and other river defense areas. main force.

It is conceivable that the main force of these hundreds of thousands of Qing troops will definitely attack the river defense with all their strength in order to survive and retreat completely. Even the generals will not argue anymore. He also obeyed Hong Chengchou's words.

Zhou Ze led an army of [-] towards Hong Chengchou's main force of more than [-] Qing troops. He deliberately walked slowly to show how reluctant he was.

Hong Chengchou also knew that he was definitely not happy, but Hong Chengchou didn't have the heart to care what Zhou Ze thought. Who would be more suitable for a coated slave who was born in an opera to kneel and lick the military official of the Qing master if he was not an abandoned son.

Hong Chengchou felt that he was at least more noble than Zhou Ze. After all, he did not serve as a coat slave, nor did he take the initiative to kneel and lick like Zhou Ze. He was invited by Xiaozhuang and Dorgon to assist the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, it was precisely because he was reluctant to see Zhou Ze, rather than being particularly active, and because Hong Chengchou looked down on Zhou Zeben, he would not have thought that Zhou was the biggest spy buried in the Qing court by the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei.

Going against the main force of Hong Chengchou's Qing army, Zhou Ze finally found a chance to contact Jinyiwei, so he hurriedly called his own soldier, Li Yongxing, the captain of Jinyiwei: "Immediately pass the news to the other side, Hong Laogou has already arrived." Order more than [-] troops to seize the Sun family ferry and river defense with all their strength, and also order Henan Admiral Zhou Ze to lead [-] troops to attack Xingshan camp, which is only a day away from Xingshan camp! Hurry up!"

Li Yongxing nodded, and flattered Zhou Ze with a smile to deceive others: "Master, it's finally snowing, should we continue on our way?"

"What are you rushing for? Hurry up to die! Send the order down, camp in place and rest for a day, and it's not too late to start tomorrow morning, you go and get me some wild animals, grandma, these days the mouth has faded out of the bird, If I don’t see Hun Xing today, I’ll take your head, so hurry up, what’s the matter with you, you son of a bitch!”

Zhou Ze showed a very bad mood, and scolded Li Yongxing, the lieutenant of Jinyiwei who was lurking as his own soldier, Li Yongxing acted aggrieved and left with a bow and arrow.

But Zhou returned to his smile after returning to the tent, and began to drink tea leisurely and happily. He had to try his best to prolong the time with the excuse of fear of death, so that the Ming court could make more adequate preparations. response.

"I don't know how the fourth girl is doing, do you miss me, alas, just because of the affection that the uncle promised the fourth girl to me, I have to do this job well, and I can't make any mistakes, otherwise this group of people The tartars suspect me, and harming me Zhou is a small matter, harming the fourth girl is a serious matter."

Zhou Ze said something to himself.

……

Here, Li Yongxing found Chu Linxi, the Jinyi guard dressed as an Orion: "The news from the opposite side is that Hong Chengchou's more than [-] main forces have set off to retake the Sunhe Ferry and the river defense, and Henan Admiral Zhou led the [-] green battalion south to seize the Xingshan camp. It's less than a day away from here!"

Because the governor Wang Gang and Lu Zhenfei were both trapped in Kaifeng City, of course they also wanted to monitor Lu Zhenfei, so Jinyiwei Chu Linxi directly presented the news to Jinyiwei Commander Wu Mengming.

At the Xingshan camp at this time, Zhu Youjian also happened to discuss with Qin Liangyu about encircling the main force of the Qing army under Hong Chengchou's department.

"If I were Hong Chengchou, after discovering the large-scale appearance of the main force of the guards, the first thing I thought of was how to protect myself. I must first determine whether the ferry and grain roads are still in my hands, and then whether Xuanwuwei is still there. In his own hands, if these two places are gone, he will concentrate his forces to recapture these two places and then seek to retreat completely."

Zhu Youjian analyzed it seriously.

Qin Liangyu also nodded: "As Your Majesty said, this Hong Chengchou has always focused on stability in combat, but this person is suitable for fighting against the wind. He was not as successful in battle as Lu Gong back then. He is smooth and an excellent official. He never forgets to eliminate dissidents at any time. At this time, he must really only think about how to escape. Xuanwuwei can't care about it either."

"Report! News came from the opposite side that Hong Chengchou led more than [-] Qing troops to join forces to attack the Sun's ferry and the river defense. The Sun's ferry and the river defense have been occupied by our guards. At the same time, Henan Admiral Zhou has led [-] troops. The mountain camp is coming!"

Jin Yiwei Commander Wu Mengming immediately informed Zhu Youjian and Qin Liangyu of the news.

Zhu Youjian glanced at Qin Liangyu with some astonishment: "Sure enough, as Qin Aiqing said, Hong Chengchou is quite decisive. He doesn't care about saving the forehead of his master of the Qing Dynasty, let alone first-class Duke He Luohui. He only wants to take back the ferry. Fleeing back to the north, but now occupying the ferry is the Qin Zuoming Department of the First Corps of the Third Army of our Guards, can Qin Zuoming resist the attack of more than [-] Qing troops?"

Qin Zuoming is Qin Liangyu's nephew and Qin Minping's orphan, so when Zhu Youjian asked this question, Qin Liangyu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief: "But please rest assured, your majesty, Zuo Ming is as steady as his father, and he participated in Shenyang with his father back then. In the battle against the Sun family, they have also faced several times the enemy without retreating, and now they can naturally defend the Sun Family Ferry."

　Thank you Zhu Qinglu for the reward of 100 book coins. Sorry, I was negligent in checking the information before. It turned out that Qin Bangping had died in battle. I continued to check the documents today to find out that the deputy commander of the First Corps of the Third Army has changed his character, and the previous chapters will also be changed. ; What is pleasing is that the new increase was actually increased to [-] yesterday. The recommendation has not dropped but increased after so long. Thank you for your subscription and support. In fact, this new addition is already comparable to Qidian’s high-quality articles.
