For all the great figures from Nanjing City, as long as the court can re-control Yanzhou and the entire canal, they can temporarily endure the temporary pain of the canal.

General Ma said on the other side: "We were supporting you strongly, but your launch was too sudden. It was really hasty and unprepared! I have brought all the servants now.

Here comes!"

But Yao Zheng had his own thoughts: "If it weren't for the sudden launch, how could such brilliant results be achieved? How could the Haibei Pirates be defeated in one battle! But next

Whether the court can’t get Yanzhou back depends on the support from Nanjing and Huaiyang. Just relying on the strength of our Xuzhou alone, at most it will be the limit to reach Jiningzhou!"

But for the little eunuch Kong Bugeng of Nanjing, as long as he hit Jiningzhou, it would be the ultimate perfect ending. He immediately asked: "Can you really hit Jiningzhou? If you really hit Ji

Ningzhou, such a governor, Dong Lu Sun, would inevitably send troops from the north together!”

But General Ma Chaozhu and Ma disagreed with Kong Bugeng's opinion. He kept saying: "It's good to hit Jiningzhou, but it has not achieved its full results. The canal is still controlled in Haibei Town.

In his hands! If that happens, we will be dead!"

This battle between the Haibei Army and the Xuzhou Army not only completely interrupted the canal transportation, but the Xuzhou rebels also collected and used the materials, money and grain of hundreds of canal ships on the spot, even the hundreds of canal ships.

All were conscripted for military use, and such losses were almost forever and could not be compensated at all. In this case, the only way for these nobles in Nanjing to get rid of their responsibilities is to recover the entire

Yanzhou.

Taking over Jiningzhou seems to be an extremely brilliant record, which is equivalent to recovering half of Yanzhou from the Haibei Army, but most of Yanzhou is still under the control of the Haibei Army.

, and the entire canal is still in a state of complete interruption due to the war between Haibei Town and Xuzhou.

The canal transportation has always been the lifeblood of the court. If the canal transportation cannot be restored in the shortest time, even if these nobles and great men in Nanjing can escape to death, their official hats will be

I'm afraid I can't save it anymore.

After hearing General Ma explain the interests and losses in detail, Kong Budeng understood what Yao Zheng meant. He immediately changed his words and asked, "How much money and materials should we provide in Nanjing?

Recover the entire Yanzhou!"

Liu Xingzuo said excitedly: "As long as Nanjing and the court fully support us, we can reach Jiningzhou in ten days and Longkou in one month. Can we?

The success of things depends on the strength of the court and you!”

Kong Budgeng immediately said excitedly: "As long as you can reach Jiningzhou in ten days, it will be no problem for you to support you want."

But Liu Xingzuo's "fight to Jiningzhou in ten days and to Longkou in one month" quickly became a big joke. But for Ding Gong, he's "fight to Yunlongjiang in ten days,"

The bold saying of the moon hitting Yangzhou has also turned into a dream bubble.

Now the sound of gunfire is earth-shaking, the smell of gunpowder is everywhere, and the sound of fighting is everywhere. The Haibei Army and the Xuzhou Army are fighting fiercely on the battlefield in Yanzhou.

You can see the Xuzhou army and their flags everywhere, as if Xuzhou has endless troops.

Compared with the elite Haibei Army, this Xuzhou Army has a unified flag and uniform, a considerable number of Western guns and thousands of horses, but also has Jianghuai thieves.

The unique insidiousness and cunning are definitely an undefeatable opponent, but what makes Ding Gong the most headache is their endless numerical advantage.

Therefore, he said to Yao Xiaofang: "If we encounter setbacks in Yanzhou this time, I will definitely demolish the building of the detective office, and say that the enemy troops in Xuzhou are just

More than 10,000 people in Hedong alone!"

Of course this is just an angry word. But Ding Gong was not shirking responsibility. The situation of the battle in Yanzhou this time was much more complicated than he thought. The biggest change was the rebels of Xuzhou.

The troops were far higher than his estimates and Yanzhou.

In Ding Gong's original prediction, the Xuzhou rebels were mainly Liu Xingzuo's troops and Yao Zheng's troops, and Liu Xingzuo's troops had a force of about 10,000, and Yao Zheng's troops were separated from the River Defense Corps.

It has better strength and better equipment, but it was originally just a Xuzhou garrison corps, and it was just a regiment-level organization within the Haibei Army.

But now Ding Gong was full of anger and wanted to vent it. He told Yao Xiaofang: "It was said to be a garrison corps. Now I have four brigades on the front line, what's going on?

All four brigades!”

But Yao Xiaofang laughed at this time: "If Yao Zheng really had four infantry brigades, I would be determined not to care about Hexi military affairs and retreat to Hedong to concentrate on supporting you, Commissioner Ding!

No matter what kind of fantasy Yao Zheng and Liu Xingzuo have, what are you going to worry about? Victory is in our hands!"

Ding Gong knew what Yao Xiaofang meant. No matter how powerful the Xuzhou army's troops were far better than expected, the Haibei army was not a vegetarian.

Moreover, Liu Peng gave him 1,400 rifles, thirty artillery, a thousand new recruits and two infantry regiments. He used these troops to form two brigades in Hedong and Hexi.

Originally, with the strength of these two brigades, not only did they have no problem sweeping Xuzhou, but they could even fight all the way to Yangzhou.

However, it has been ten days since the Haibei Army started counterattack. Not only did it not reach Yunlong Lake, but it did not even take down Xiadian Town. The reason is that Yao Zheng and Liu Xingzuo have ascended to the top.

The scale of the troops mobilized was far beyond the imagination of Liu Peng and Yao Xiaofang.

The master said that Yao Zheng's troops were originally the Xuzhou garrison corps, and the peak troops were only 1,600. Last year, the Haibei Army decided to rest and recuperate.

More than 400 people were cut off from the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people of the Xuzhou Garage Corps, but the current force was only 1,200.

However, during this counterattack battle, the Yao Zhengjun on the opposite side had four infantry brigades, and most of them used the standard weapons of the Haibei Army, and even used Haibei.

Military's teachings.

Of course, as Yao Xiaofang said, the four infantry brigades of Yao Zheng are just colorful, and they are said to be infantry brigades, but the actual force is less than a small regiment, and the total number is only three

More than a thousand people, but these more than 3,000 people are the core combat power of the Xuzhou army, causing great trouble for Ding Gong...

As for why Yao Zheng was able to expand four infantry brigades, the biggest reason was that Ding Gong lost more than 700 rifles and more than ten artillery pieces in Xiadian Town, and he not only made the reservation.

More than 400 people were abolished, and several security squadrons were formed according to the Haibei Army. This time, four troops were expanded by using these systems.

The establishment of an infantry brigade made Ding Gong suffer a lot.

The situation in Xuhuai Town in Liu Xingzuo was similar. Before the war, the intelligence said it was "more than 10,000 people". Ding Gong also thought it was just zero for 10,000, but unexpectedly, there were 14,500 before the war.

After the war, Liu Xingzuo tried every means to force the mobilization, but he mobilized more than 20,000 people. In addition to Yao Zheng's troops, the total force had exceeded 25,000, and even

Nearly 30,000 people, but Ding Gong only had two temporary infantry brigades.

Although it is said that "the number of soldiers is not about the essence," sometimes the quantity advantage can surpass the quality advantage. Although Ding Gong felt that he had not made any mistakes, and the officers and soldiers from all walks of life in Yanzhou were not allowed to do so.

All of them are very good. Not only has the progress not been much in the ten days of counterattack, but there have been nearly 500 casualties.

Although the loss of Xuzhou Army was at least twice or even three or four times, the result made them become arrogant all of a sudden, and Ding Gong felt that he was about to lose his mind.

Face is seen.

He praised him for ten days to fight to Yunlong Lake and one month to Yangzhou. However, it has been half a month since Yao Zheng raided Xiadian Town. Not to mention Yangzhou, Yunlong Lake

I didn't see the shadows of Xiadian Town, and when I thought of this, Ding Gong couldn't help but get anxious: "

But Yao Xiaofang shook his head: "Company Ding, you don't have to worry about this matter. Although you have lost some villages and towns, Yanzhou and the entire canal are still in our hands, Xuzhou and these

What tricks can the rebels do? Don’t forget, we are Haibei Town!”

Commissioner Ding then figured out the smell: "Captain Yao, what do you mean?"

Yao Xiaofang said with a smile: "Besides, our opponents this time are not just Liu Xingzuo and Yao Zheng. As soon as the war begins, all the cats and dogs appear. You haven't seen it.

Is this a matter?”

Although the Haibei Army did not publicly promote it, Ding Gong also knew that Nanjing and Huaiyang had made great efforts in this matter. The officers and soldiers of Yanzhou were killed and injured more than once, and even injured even after all.

It was a real Ming army officer and soldier who captured a real Ming army officer. Once, he even captured a general manager of the Ming army. This only shows that the army's rebellion in Xuzhou was deeply involved and it was no longer just providing it.

The degree of money, food and materials.

Liu Xingzuo and Yao Zhengneng mobilized at least tens of thousands of soldiers in haste, including the contribution of blood transfusions between Nanjing and Huaiyang. It is said that Huaiyang's arsenal has been vacant.

In addition to the essential combat preparations, almost all of them were sent to Xuzhou, but the big figures in Huaiyang and Nanjing were no longer satisfied with providing only support for weapons, ammunition, money and food.

Instead, he sent troops to the war.

Now there are no two thousand Ming troops on the front lines of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, but also 1,500. Many Ming army officers have already brought their servants and camp soldiers to participate in the war personally. Therefore, Yao Xiaofang mentioned this

After awakening Ding Gong, he came back to his senses: "Captain Yao means that we have made great contributions to the country!"

"Yes, we have made great contributions to the country!" Yao Xiaofang said something a little implicitly: "After all, what the governor wants is a dignified name!"

Ding Gong understood Yao Xiaofang's meaning. Although Liu Peng and Haibei Town advocated an uprising, they always wanted to use dignity to punish the people and punish them with dignity and not to promote an unknown army. This time, Xuzhou

The rebellion and the intervention of Nanjing Huaiyang gave the Haibei Army the best excuse. Liu Peng could just say that he was a "self-defense counterattack."
