Faced with the sudden changes in the battlefield, Tuhai's panic did not last long. Although he had never fought a serious war in his life and lacked military experience. But military affairs really require talent, and Tuhai had the talent to be the commander. Although his handsome talent was not too high, he still had sixty points.

After recovering the calm that a "60-ten commander" should have, Tuhai quickly started to think and analyzed the situation.

"The new meeting must have been lost!"

Tuhai whispered his first judgment, and he then said, "And Deqingzhou City cannot be defended!"

"Zhongtang, Zu Zeqing's behavior is very strange..." Zhou Peigong reminded him at this time, "He almost left without fighting, and he was not fighting and leaving, but just escaping!"

Zhou Peigong also regained his calmness at this time. If Tu Hai was a "60-tenth commander", then he could also be considered a "passing military advisor".

As a passing military advisor, of course he could see at a glance that Zu Zeqing was making trouble.

"Zu Zeqing... don't care about him for now, he looks good when he looks back!" The sixty-tenth commander Tu Hai thought this was a difficult problem, so he was puzzled. "Peigong, do you think Zhu Heting will fight like this after crossing Xijiang?"

"We must conquer the city of Deqingzhou first!" Zhou Peigong followed Tuhai's idea and analyzed, "The current thinking of the third prince Zhu and his son must be to take Guangdong first and then Guangxi, and at the same time support the pirate Zheng Zheng to take Fujian. In this way, they can have all three provinces, fight against the mountains in the north, and fight against the sea, and fight against the heavenly soldiers.

If you capture Deqingzhou City, you can close the passage between Guangdong and Guangxi. Not only will it be difficult for Guangxi soldiers to enter Guangdong again. General Dingnan and Dingnan Gege's soldiers also cannot retreat back to Guangxi. This is extremely beneficial to the general strategy of Zhu San and his son pacifying Guangdong first and then deciding Guangxi."

He paused and said, "After capturing the city of Deqingzhou, Zhu Heying would definitely bypass Gaoyao or fight in the capital of Zhaoqing, and then go straight to Qingqi Village, join forces with the navy on the Xijiang River, attacked by land and land, and defeated the navy troops of Shi Junmen in Qingqi Village... There are too many rivers in Guangdong, and it is really hard to move without naval troops.

If the naval army of Shi Junmen collapsed, the two Sun Junmen's land troops would not be able to deal with the thieves in Guangzhou, Zhaoqing and Huizhou, which had dense water networks, and it would be difficult to advance to Guangxi. It would be good to be able to defend Shaozhou, Ying Jiazhou.

It is difficult for Shi Junmen's naval army to break through Sixianjiao and enter the Beijiang River Channel... Because the thief built artillery towers at the foot of Kundu Mountain, Sanshuidu on the south bank of Sixianjiao, and there must be arranging thunder and fire thunder."

Sixianjiao is a river channel connecting the Xijiang River and the Beijiang River, about three miles long. The southern bank of Sixianjiao is under the jurisdiction of Sanshui Metro. Sanshui is a township capital below Sanshui County, and its area is actually a large island surrounded by water on all sides. Sixianjiao and Beijiang River to the north, Xijiang River to the west, Beijiang River to the east, and Beijiang to the southwest is another waterway between the Xijiang River and the Beijiang River.

The Ming army now used the fort at the foot of Kundu Mountain to control Sixianjiao, and at the same time used the fort at the west side of Sanshui County to control the Beijiang channel.

In addition, the Ming navy and Minzhuang, who were flowing upstream from the Xijiang River, controlled the main rush of Makougang in Xijiang River and protected the west side of Sanshuidu.

Therefore, although the Qing army's Sun Sike's troops "surrounded" Sanshui County on both sides, they had no way to cross the Beijiang River and entered Sanshui City. They could only watch the navy troops in Shi Lang's Qingqi Village could not meet, and they could not completely encircle Sanshui County.

Zhou Peigong said: "Zhongtang, for the sake of the present, we can only order Sun Junmen to temporarily lift the siege of Sanshui and retreat to Qingqi Village to meet with Shi Junmen... As long as the traitors cannot take down Qingqi Village, their navy on the Xijiang River will be difficult for them to enter Beijiang. In this way, we can move along Beijiang and Suijiang to advance and retreat freely."

Because Qingyuan and Shaozhou in the upper reaches of the Beijiang River are still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, Sun Sike can still collect some civilian ships in Tuhai, so he can move freely on the river surface north of the Sanshui River and on the Suijiang River.

But the civilian ships were not naval forces after all. Once the Ming navy broke through the blockade of Qingqi Village and entered the Beijiang River Channel, the Qing army would probably not be able to defend even Qingyuan, so they could only retreat to Shaozhou.

In this way, not only will the entire Guangzhou Prefecture be controlled by the Ming army, but also the territory of Zhaoqing, Luoding, Gaozhou, Leizhou and Huizhou will be quickly lost.

By then, Tuhai will not be able to explain to Emperor Kangxi!

Therefore, the gains and losses of Qingqi Village are now related to the overall situation!

Tuhai nodded slightly, his eyes focused on Qingqi Village on the wooden picture. "The key is Qingqi Village... What is the name of the river west of Qingqi Village?"

"It is called Qingqiyong," said Zhou Peigong. "It connects Suijiang and Xijiang. It looks like a small river on the picture, but it is also thirty or forty steps wide, with a sufficient amount of water, so it is impossible to cross. Because of the existence of this Qingqiyong, Qingqi Village is actually an island surrounded by water on all sides."

"Okay!" Tu Hai said with his eyes narrowed, "You can let Sun Junmen retreat the army surrounding Sanshui to Qingqi Village... and then fight against the thieves with Qingqiyong!

In addition, I will give Sun Yanling the order to come to Qingyuan to meet quickly... This commander will personally lead the troops to the Sihui to support the battlefield of Qingqiyong at any time!"

At this time, Tu Hai showed a smile on his face: "After Sun Junmen and Shi Junmen met, there were more than 30,000 soldiers from the water and land! After this commander and General Dingnan met, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and generals... The two armies totaled 40,000! Think about the maximum number of traitors who came by Daode Qingzhou was only 20,000, and they were tired troops, and they had no geographical advantage. Therefore, the advantage of this battle was at least 80,000! "

"The Lord Zhongtang is wise!"

Seeing that the commander of the sixty-two made the "sixty-two decision", Zhou Peigong, the passing military advisor, also quickly gave a compliment.

However, beyond Tuhai and Zhou Peigong's expectations, Zhu Heying did not rush to advance to Qingqi Village. Instead, after capturing Deqingzhou, he rested comfortably for three days. He also conquered several townships around Deqingzhou City and mobilized the masses in Deqingzhou City.

After waiting for the artillery troops to arrive, Zhu Heying slowly drove along the Xijiang River to Gaoyao, Zhaoqing County. While advancing, he mobilized the masses to win over the great surnames of Qiangzong from all townships along the way. When his army arrived outside Gaoyao City, the number of people was already as high as 30,000, of which Minzhuang, who had just joined the gang, accounted for half!

After arriving in Gaoyao County, Zhu Heying was not busy entering Qingqi Village, but began to attack Gaoyao County, which had a dangerous terrain and a strong city!

When the news reached Sihui, Tu Hai, the sixty-year-old commander who had already met with Sun Yanling, Ma Xiong and others, felt confused.

What are these traitors doing? Will they fight? Do they not understand the principle that soldiers are so powerful?

Now I am actually in Gao, I want to be strong in the city... How can I be strong in Gao, I want to be strong in the city so easy to break? Not only is there a dangerous place, but there is also a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jin Guangzu, led 3,000 troops to guard it himself!

"Zhongtang, the thief should be fighting the siege and aid, right?" Zhou Peigong was still playing the role of military advisor in the headquarters of the Sihui General. "The thief wouldn't he think we would give up the land in Qingqi's capital to save the Jin army and move westward around the Gaoyao County...."

"How is that possible?" Sun Yanling interrupted Zhou Peigong before he could finish his words, "Now there is Tu Zhongtang in Guangdong, King Pingnan, Master, and Princess Dingnan... Besides, the Jin army is the Han army's Zhengbai Banner, and he was favored by the emperor in the world!"

Jin Guangzu is also a loyal second-generation slave! At the critical moment, he will of course be willing to sacrifice for his master. Therefore, Tuhai, Sun Sike, and Sun Yanling have no need to send troops for him.

Moreover, the terrain around Gaoyao County is not conducive to Sun Sike and Sun Yanling's army. Gaoyao County is surrounded by water on three sides and backing on one side. Only one corner of the northeast can set up a large army, but this corner of the northeast is sandwiched into a trumpet mouth by Xijiang and Dinghushan.

This is a wide east and narrow west, which is very suitable for ambushing and pocketing. Qingqi Village is actually located at the trumpet mouth, with a flat and open terrain, which is conducive to the Qing army's performance. How could they give up such a favorable terrain and drill into the trumpet?

Just when the general's lobby was puzzled, there was a sudden noise outside the lobby, and there was also the sound of horse hooves and the neighing of horses... Someone rode his horse into the gate and rushed to the outside of the lobby!

Tu Hai was stunned when he was looking down at Mutu. Before he could react, he heard the deputy general Sun Yanling scolding: "Who is blind? How dare he ride a horse in the general's yard? Believe it or not, I will strip you of skin!"

As soon as Sun Yanling finished speaking, a slightly gloomy female voice came from outside the lobby: "General Dingnan, who are you going to peel off?"
Chapter completed!
