The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 57 Operational Deployment
When Jin Shenghuan fled back to the army, his deputy Wang Deren suggested that he knew Zhang Jiayu's subordinate Zhao Heng, so he could instigate him.

Knowing this, Zhang Jiayu asked Zhao Heng to pretend to surrender, and then set up an ambush in the valley.After that, there was a scene where Zhao Heng turned his back on the water and his army collapsed.

Seeing Zhang Jiayu's large army fleeing, Jin Shenghuan immediately commanded the whole army to make a surprise attack, intending to avenge his defeat last time.

As a result, he was ambushed again.Zhang Jiayu led the main force to turn around and intercept, and drove Jin Shenghuan's army down the river, drowning more than half of them.

Hearing this, Zhu Linmei's affection for Zhang Jiayu increased even more. To be able to defeat Jin Shenghuan's [-] army with [-] underdogs left by Zheng Cai, it seems that there are still many generals in the Ming army.

Wanji then went on to introduce Jie Chongxi, the tall black-faced Jiangxi governor, and several of his own subordinates.

Several people were meeting with Zhu Linming when they heard Zhu Youmao from the side saying calmly: "The ceremony should be about the same, right? The bandits won't wait for us for too long, I said Master Wan..."

Wan Wanji hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Yes, let's talk about the strategy of the army first."

Everyone sat down, Wanji first said: "This time, Gao Jinku brought 5000 Malays to attack Fuzhou. This morning, the Malays reported that the forward was close to Luxi. Can you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?"

As Wanji's confidant, Wu Zhifan took the lead in cupping his hands and said, "My lord, although our army outnumbers the enemy's, all the ministries are unfamiliar with each other and there is no coordination. In addition, the rebels are fierce, so my subordinates think that we should rely on Jinxi City to hold on. To avoid its sharpness."

Jinxi County is the easternmost county in Fuzhou, tens of miles away from Luxi.

Seeing Wanji nodding slightly, Zhu Linmei knew that it was not good. The Ming general's habit of preferring to defend the city is really terrible.Gao Jinku didn't come here alone to go deep. After you guard for a few days, he ran out of food and then withdrew.Behind him is the Jianchang Mansion, with an endless supply of food and grass, and if the Ming army retreated into the city from the beginning, they would lose their vigor first.

Wanji's subordinates are mainly recruits who have just been recruited. If their vigor is lost, their morale will inevitably drop, and there is really no need to fight in the future.

The terrain of Fuzhou is high in the east and low in the west, which is very unfavorable for the Ming army attacking east.Right now, we should move eastward immediately, seize the favorable terrain, take advantage of the high position and not get a firm foothold in the library, and give it a head-on blow to frustrate its edge.

Zhu Linmi even wanted to lead the Longwei army to set off immediately, quickly seize the highlands east of Jinxi County, and attack the Qing army's forward by surprise as soon as it entered Fuzhou.

With the fighting power of the Dragon Guards, he has full confidence in defeating Gao Jinku's forward troops.

However, Longwu's intention for him was to assist Wanji in the battle against captives, so he still had to follow the strategic deployment of the Ming army.

He was about to suggest to meet the Qing army quickly, when he heard Zhang Jiayu beside him say: "Wandu Hall, the lower officials think that it is not suitable to defend the city.

"Jinxi City is short and difficult to rely on. This is one of them.

"Place a large army in Jinxi City. If the bandit army goes around the city to the west and advances quickly with cavalry, they can reach Linchuan in one day. The defense of Fuzhou Prefecture is empty, and the city will be in danger at that time. The second is."

"Just say how you want to fight." Zhu Youmao shouted.

"The best policy is that the army should break out of the camp and march eastward immediately, and when the Qing army just crossed the Lufang River to the west, it will surely win a complete victory!"

Zhu Linmi nodded when she heard the words, and before she could speak, she heard Wanji say: "The enemy army is approaching menacingly, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate to fight rashly..."

He has the most conservative personality. In the defense of Ganzhou in history, he never dared to take the initiative to attack, which led to the loss of the strategic initiative. In the end, when Ganzhou city was completely surrounded, he thought of breaking out.

"The next official still has a safe strategy." Zhang Jiayu seemed to have expected Wanji's opposition, and immediately continued, "We can set up an ambush.

"First engage the Qing army in the east of Jinxi, and pretend to be defeated to lure the enemy. Our army ambushed the army in the lower reaches of the Shuangchen River. The terrain here is narrow and long, and there are hills to the north of the Shuangchen River.

"The enemy army will flee to the north and south sides when they encounter an ambush. If our army sets up an ambush on the back of the hill in advance, and another team ambush on the other side of the Shuangchen River, the bandit army can be wiped out!"

Since Wanji was strongly opposed to taking the initiative to attack, this ambush plan almost became the only choice in the end.

In fact, Zhu Linming was not very satisfied with this, but it was better than defending the city without leaving the city. In order not to affect the deployment of the whole army, he finally chose to accept this plan.

All that remains is the assignment of tasks.

As an expert in ambush warfare, Zhang Jiayu shouldered the duty of luring the enemy.And his team of old and weak soldiers is the most realistic way to lure the enemy.

Zhu Linming originally wanted to take on the task of frontal blocking. The fire rate and firepower density of the flintlocks equipped by the Dragon Guards were much higher than those of other Ming troops. Forming a line formation would definitely give the enemy huge killing.

But Wanji shook his head again, "Your Highness, I know that most of your soldiers are blunderbusses, accompanied by hundreds of cavalry. Once the enemy rushes forward desperately and forces you to fight hand-to-hand, how can the blunderbusses be against you?"

Of course it's a bayonet fight!Just as Zhu Linmei was about to answer, Zhu Youmao snorted, "It is said that your new battalion has only practiced for a few months, how can you rest assured that you will resist the enemy head-on? Not to mention that it is full of gunslingers, hehe, there are all kinds of soldiers in the world." I don’t know who taught you how to use firearms in the army.”

"Whether we can fight or not is not up to you." Zhu Linmi also got a little tempered, and said coldly, "Either our two armies compete, how about close combat?"

Wan Wanji hurriedly jumped out to smooth things over, "His Royal Highness King Chenzhou, why don't you lead the army to set up an ambush on the hills. Yigao is good for shooting the enemy with the blunderbuss."

Zhang Jiayu also said: "Although the lower reaches of the Shuangchen River are narrow, it is nearly three miles wide. Your Highness has only one battalion of troops, and I'm afraid it's not enough to block the enemy from the front. And our combined firearms are not as many as your Highness. Your Highness It is very appropriate to ambush on the north side."

Seeing that the people present did not have much trust in the combat power of the Dragon Guards, Zhu Lin didn't say anything more.How can we cooperate with each other in combat without trust?

Everything is focused on the victory of the Ming army.After the Dragon Guard Army has experienced a few battles, they will understand the combat power of the Dragon Guard Army, and then they will be able to voluntarily use the Dragon Guard Army as the core to cooperate in the battle.

And when it comes to the battlefield, the battle situation is changing rapidly, it is hard to say which is the main and which is the second, and the flanking ambush may not be an easy job.

Seeing that Zhu Linming no longer persisted, Wanji was also relieved. He was most worried that the King of Chenzhou would also like to make his own opinions like Zhu Youmao. Fortunately, His Highness the King of Chenzhou still respected his overall arrangements as the coach.

"Then the subordinate officials will lead the main force, together with King Yongning's soldiers and horses, to resist the enemy head-on."

"Our Xinwei army's morale is high, and we should be able to resist the enemy head-on!" Su Guansheng, a senior scholar, immediately responded.

Wan Wanji hurriedly said: "Master Su, your department has just been established..."

"I eat the king's salary and think of the king's kindness. I just want to serve my sage with this battle. How can I shrink back?! The master said, although there are thousands of people, I will go..."

Wanji was overwhelmed by his set of "Zi Yue Meng Yue", thinking that he only had 2000 troops, and he was simply placed behind his own brigade, which should have little effect on the overall situation.

So he nodded reluctantly, "Master Nasu's troops will join me to meet the enemy."

Only then did Su Guansheng say with a satisfied smile, "That's right."

Finally, all the troops and horses were dispatched.

Zhang Jiayu's 2000 troops were responsible for feigning defeat to lure the enemy to go deep.

Wanji's 8000 main force and Yongning's 4000 troops, plus 2000 Xinwei troops, are responsible for frontal blocking.

The Dragon Guards set up an ambush on the hills to the north to wait for the Qing army.

Jie Chongxi led 2000 troops to ambush on the south bank of the Shuangchen River. If the enemy fled across the river, they would attack them halfway.
