Chapter 374 Tian Ji horse racing
The Daxi Army in Chengdu City received bad news. The Qing army rushed to a location 30 miles away from Chengdu before returning to the aid of Zhang Dingguo, and could launch a fierce attack on Chengdu at any time.
Zhang Kewang was having a headache.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The Qing army occupied Wei City and stuck the official road. Zhang Dingguo could not take over Wei City and could only choose to go around the distance.
It is definitely not as fast as walking on the official road, and before you know it, the Qing army had already taken the lead.
As the current Emperor of Daxi, Zhang Kewang faced such a problem as soon as he took office, which was a headache.
And this is not tolerated by any mistake, and a mistake may ruin the entire situation.
On the one hand, Zhang Kewang summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and on the other hand, he sent a whistle to inquire about the movements of the Qing army.
His overall strategy is to drag it down. As long as it is dragged down by Zhang Dingguo's army back to aid, the chances of winning will be much higher.
Since we have to delay, we cannot just retreat to Chengdu, and we must rely on the outer defense line to delay the advancement of the Qing army.
Zhang Kewang had already made corresponding arrangements before, but now he is just discussing some details.
There are still many guards near Chengdu, and Zhang Kewang believes that it is impossible for the Qing army to remove all these guards without the seven or eight days.
Zhang Kewang conducted a passionate mobilization, hoping to stimulate the bloodiness of the soldiers.
"Everyone, I have finished what I should say. Let's see you next. No matter what, I will never give up on Chengdu. I hope you will work with me to kill the Tartars and to strengthen Bashu!"
"Kill the Tartars and strengthen Bashu!"
"Kill the Tartars and strengthen Bashu!"
"Kill the Tartars and strengthen Bashu!"
Everyone answered in unison.
In the Qing army camp, Boluo sat in the center, and Hong Chengchou and Tong Yanghe were ranked on the left and right.
After these days of hardship, Boro has resigned from his fledgling youth and has become more and more powerful as a superior.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Chengdu is right in front of you. Ben Belle is responsible for the regent and dare not be careless. He must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. You all talk about how to break the deadlock now."
There were only two or three people who could speak in front of Boro.
As the governor appointed by the Qing court and the popular man in front of the Regent Dorgon, Hong Chengchou took the lead in speaking out without hesitation.
"Mr. Beile, in his humble opinion, we should not be too anxious to attack Chengdu. We need to remove the fortresses around it before siegeing it."
Although Hong Chengchou mastered the tactic of bombing the city in the coffin, he only used it once when attacking Baoning. It is still unknown whether it will work when attacking a strong city like Chengdu. In this case, if the army rashly goes deeper, it will be impossible to defeat Chengdu and be attacked by the Western Army in a short time. It will be really cold.
If the fortresses around Chengdu are removed first, even if they cannot defeat Chengdu for a while, they can choose to retreat, and the Western Army will not block the retreat route.
Boluo pondered for a moment and sighed, "Don't Benbeile want to do what Mr. Hong said just now. But Benbeile also has a difficult place to make things difficult. Zhang Dingguo will definitely return to help. Will it be even more difficult for us to attack when he returns to Chengdu? When Benbeile was in Weicheng, he wanted to surrender him, but this guy was stubborn and seemed impossible to be used by me. This guy is quite capable, and it is probably not good for our army if he drags on it."
Boluo said so much, it can be summarized into one sentence, that is, Zhang Dingguo is very false.
It is best to conquer Chengdu before Zhang Dingguo returns to help, otherwise he may have long nights and dreams.
Why didn’t Hong Chengchou know?
The only fight with Zhang Dingguo made him realize that this young man is very good at fighting and will never be a thing in the pool in the future.
But this guy refused to surrender to the Qing army, which was of course a major concern for the Qing army.
"Master Beile, Zhang Dingguo is of course very good at fighting, but his absolute strength is definitely under my Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. When the two sides set up a formation to confront each other, he has no chance of winning."
In order to get Boluo to adopt his suggestion, Hong Chengchou had to give Boluo a reassurance.
"Zhang Dingguo traveled a long distance, and the soldiers must be very tired. In this case, the field is about seeking death."
Boro was a little silent for a moment.
Of course he understood that the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry was invincible in the world, but such an iron cavalry was obtained by choosing thousands of choices and going through countless battles.
Although Boluo held such a trump card in his hand, he was a little afraid to use it.
If the Eight Banners Cavalry suffered heavy losses, he would not be able to explain Dorgon.
Therefore, this Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry is more like a deterrent. Many opponents immediately fell to their knees and surrendered when they saw the fierce Eight Banners Army.
But if you encounter a tough guy like Zhang Dingguo who is not afraid of death, it will be troublesome.
If you really fight, you can't bear to bear it. If you don't fight, you can't get it down.
Boro is so worried.
Tong Yanghe, who was standing beside him, seemed to see his master's concerns and stood up very appropriately: "I think even if Zhang Dingguo really wants to attack from behind, the Eight Banners Han army can be confronted with him first to slaughter his spirit, and then send the Eight Banners of Manchuria to make the final decision."
The eight banners of the Han army in Hanzhong have always been led by Tong Yanghe, so Tong Yanghe has a considerable degree of voice.
Now it seems that the Green Camp soldiers are definitely not the opponent of Zhang Dingguo to command the Western Army, which is fully reflected in the Weicheng War.
Then we can only use the Eight Banners of the Han Army and Zhang Dingguo to fight first.
Even if the eight banners of the Han army were slightly inferior to the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, it could greatly consume the energy of the Western Army.
This is like Tian Ji's horse racing, and he may not have to compare his most powerful army with the other party as soon as he comes up.
Boluo's eyes lit up after hearing this.
This is a good idea.
Zhang Dingguo is also a human being, and the Western thieves are all flesh and blood. How could they keep fighting without being tired? The advantage of the Qing army is that they have many elite troops. In addition to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Han army is also considerable. As long as they don’t send Green Camp soldiers to confront the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, they will be able to defuse their morale.
No matter how powerful they are, their combat effectiveness will definitely decline greatly after experiencing a great war. At this time, they will send elite Manchurian Eight Banners to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Of course, the ace has to be put to the end and then shown, there is nothing wrong with this.
Well, Tong Yanghe is very good, so he can be anxious about his master's concern. At that time, he must say a few words to Tong Yanghe when he pacified Sichuan and asked the Regent for merit.
As for Mr. Hong, there is nothing to blame. It can only be said that Mr. Hong is too confident and believes that the Eight Banners Army can destroy Zhang Dingguo without any losses.
"Okay, just do that."
Boluo slapped his head and said, "If you pass the order, order the army to remove all the forts near Chengdu and then siege Chengdu!"
"Slave obeys the order!"
