"The Tatar reinforcements have arrived. Let's all discuss how to fight the next battle?"
After falling into Zu Zeyuan's trick, Yan Tianfeng felt deeply that he lacked a capable counselor. With no other choice, the three cobblers outdid Zhuge Liang and simply gathered all the generals to work together.
"Commander, the strength of our army is twice that of the Tatars. We have won many battles and our morale is strong. The general feels that there is nothing to discuss and directly defeats the enemy with an upright force." Hao Yongzhong of Nan'an Bo is a
Loud voice.
Yan Tianfeng looked solemn, "Although the Tatars are small in number, they have many cavalry, so we should not underestimate the enemy."
Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce spoke: "Commander, you can deploy more spears to block the enemy's cavalry."
"The spear formation can only defend, but cannot defeat the enemy's cavalry.
Ma Bao said: "Commander, we don't have to defeat the enemy's reinforcements, we just need to prevent them from rescuing Zhangzhou."
Yan Tianfeng shook his head: "By dividing the troops to stop the enemy, the pressure on Zhangzhou will be reduced, and the siege will be protracted. When I went on the expedition, I was warned by the supervisor to take advantage of the internal instability of the Qing court due to Dole's new death.
, take Fujian quickly. If the delay continues and the Qing government sends reinforcements again, the battle will be difficult to fight. Is there any way to defeat the enemy's reinforcements as soon as possible?"
"Commander, I have an idea, I don't know if it's appropriate?"
A voice as weak as a gnat came.
Yan Tianfeng took a look and saw that it was Guo Tiancai, the surrendered general.
Since the last defeat, Guo Tianfeng has kept a lower profile. Originally, a general would not be able to participate in this kind of military meeting, and he had to be at least a deputy general. However, Yan Tianfeng expanded the scope of the meeting to include generals in order to brainstorm ideas.<
/p>
When Ma Bao saw that it was Guo Tiancai, he glared: "You are so outrageous, how can you speak in front of the commander?"
Guo Tiancai suffered a defeat in Yongfeng. Ma Bao felt that he had been humiliated and always looked down upon him.
"Hey, General Ma must not be rude. He knows everything he knows and says it all. General Guo, please speak boldly."
Yan Tianfeng has always advocated the emphasis on the use of surrendered generals. The surrendered generals are familiar with the enemy's situation and are often willing to go to great lengths in order to achieve meritorious service. Easy to use!
Seeing that the commander was so approachable, Guo Tiancai was very moved and said: "Commander, I also gained this experience from the Battle of Yongfeng. At that time, the Tatars dug three trenches outside Yongfeng City and built in explosives.
Gunpowder and other materials. When the Tatars were about to attack the city, the Tatars suddenly lit up the cannons. The sky collapsed and the earth exploded, causing the general to suffer terribly. The general thought, if the Tatars can use this strategy, can we also use it?"
Treat the other person's body in his own way?
Yan Tianfeng thought for a while, then suddenly became overjoyed and slapped Guo Tiancai on the shoulder, "General Guo Shen is really a lucky general for me! Hahaha!"
??
"Commander, the last general is from this area near the Jiulong River. The water here is the shallowest, just reaching the horse's belly. If the Tatars want to cross the Bei River, they must come here." Gan Hui, a subordinate of the surrendered general Zhu Chenggong, was excited.
Say.
Gan Hui was one of Zhu Chenggong's five tiger generals, and he was extremely brave in combat. Yan Tianfeng wanted to defeat the Qing reinforcements in Beixi and needed someone who was familiar with the local geography, so he transferred him from Zhu Chenggong.
The Jiulong River is the second largest river in Fujian, with three tributaries: Beixi, Xixi and Nanxi. Gan Hui's hometown, Haicheng County, is at the lowermost reaches of the Jiulong River.
Like Wan Li, Gan Hui is also a famous hero in Haicheng. Both of his fathers died when he was young. He attaches great importance to justice and is a hero, and he likes to fight against injustice. In another time and space, Zhu Chenggong failed in the Battle of Nanjing. Gan Hui, Wan Li and Yu Xin joined forces.
After being captured, the captor asked them to kneel down. Wan Li and Yu Xin both knelt down. Only Gan Hui stood upright and refused to kneel down. He even kicked them both and said, "You fool, do you still want to live here?" He cursed and refused to surrender.
He died heroically. He is truly worthy of the word "hero"!
"Yes," Yan Tianfeng nodded, "the generals will obey the order and retreat three miles to dig trenches."
The generals were puzzled: "Commander, why don't you dig a trench along the Beixi River?"
Yan Tianfeng laughed loudly: "Dig a trench by the river. The place is too narrow and we can only annihilate the Tatar front army. I retreated three miles. The place is spacious and can accommodate the entire Tatar army. I will give him this battle."
One pot at a time."
All the generals were impressed by Yan Tianfeng's courage. He was worthy of being a commander, and he actually wanted to fight a war of annihilation.
The Ming army retreated three miles, dug ten trenches at once, filled them with explosives, gunpowder, fire oil (petroleum) and other materials, and covered them with a shallow layer of soil.
Yan Tianfeng glanced at the generals with twinkling eyes: "Which general dares to lead five hundred dead soldiers, hide on the edge of the trench, and be responsible for lighting the fire?"
This is an extremely dangerous mission. Once discovered by the enemy, you will definitely die.
The young phoenix is clearer than the old phoenix. A young voice is clear and firm, "I will go to the end!"
Yan Tianfeng's youngest son, eighteen-year-old Yan Xiaoyong, wearing a guerrilla uniform, spoke out. Yan Xiaoyong was not only the son of the commander, but also the son-in-law of Zhu Hengjia. Zhu Hengjia betrothed his daughter, Princess Lipu Princess Zhu Huiting, to him, the real emperor
Relatives of the country.
Unexpectedly, today, regardless of his noble status, he was willing to take on this important task of narrow escape.
Yan Tianfeng was secretly frightened, reluctant to let him go, and unable to speak. As the commander-in-chief of an army, his son's life was important, so could the lives of other generals not be? He could only grit his teeth and tell Yan Xiaoyong to be careful.
Seeing that the commander's son had taken on the most dangerous task, all the generals were excited and their morale was greatly boosted.
Yan Tianfeng ordered Sun Gui to lead Zhou Rui, Zhu Chenggong, Zheng Bin, Yang Chaodong, and Wang Sheng to capture Haicheng County, cut off the enemy's escape route in Zhangzhou, and monitor the Tatar navy; Wang Jincai and Luo Chengyao were ordered to lead 30,000 troops.
Surround Zhangzhou to prevent the enemy from joining forces inside and outside; he led Hao Yongzhong, Dong Fangce, Ma Bao, and Ma Weixing to fight the Qing army near Beixi with 70,000 troops.
??
"Call!"
General Niu Hulu and Chen Tai of Jingnan of the Qing Dynasty were riding on the bank of Bei River, observing the Ming army on the other side. Niu Hulu, whose surname was Lang, and Chen Tai fought like wolves, easily killing the enemy with one blow without attacking.
destiny.
Seeing that the general was observing the enemy's formation, the generals Lanbai, Dong Alai, Li Shutai, Ma Degong, Huniyaluohe, and Suksaha stood motionless behind him.
Chen Tai asked Huang Shu, the patrolman: "Is this the shallowest point of Beixi water? Is the deepest point really only as deep as the horse's belly?"
Huang Shu was very confident: "Xia Guan has been an official in Zhangquan for many years, and he will definitely do nothing wrong."
Chen Tai looked at Baya Lahu Zhangjing Suk Saha. Baya Labing can be said to be the special forces of the Qing army, responsible for reconnaissance, assault, harassment and other combat tasks.
Without saying a word, Suksaha leaped into the river. He got off his white horse and walked in the water. He snorted happily.
Chen Tai secretly praised Suha Saha. He originally thought that he would send his men into the river to test the water, but he didn't expect that he would actually go into the water himself. He is a good man and a true warrior!
Zhang Xuesheng, the governor of Fujian, was a little worried, "Commander, the Ming army on the other side is estimated to be 70,000 people, and our army is only 35,000. Do you want to wait for General Jixiha from Tingzhou to join here before rescuing Zhangzhou?"
Chen Tai smiled: "Zhang Futai doesn't need to worry. Although our army is small, we have ten armored warriors, fifteen thousand cavalry, and thirty thousand horses. The combat effectiveness of cavalry is not comparable to that of infantry."
When Zhang Xuesheng heard this, he nodded repeatedly, "There are less than ten thousand people in Manchuria, and if there are ten thousand people, they are invincible. With a commander in charge, everything will be absolutely foolproof."
Chen Tai laughed loudly: "Back then, I followed Taizong to attack the Ming Dynasty and led thousands of cavalry to fight all the way to Beijing City. Outside Desheng Gate, I was ambushed by Yuan Manzi (Yuan Chonghuan)'s tens of thousands of troops. I had thousands of cavalry and rushed to the left.
Rushing to the right is like entering an uninhabited country. Although the Ming army is numerous, what can they do to me?"
