Chapter 155 The Strategy of Duoduo

Wang Wenkui's defeat completely laid the foundation for the Pingbei Army's mastery of the city east of Tongguan. However, the defeat of Wang Wenkui's 20,000 troops does not mean the complete defeat of the Manchus and Qing Tatars, because there are still 100,000 troops staring at Liu Xia under the tiger prison. If Liu Xia is a little careless, she may be bitten. Die.

The news of victory spread everywhere in an instant. Wang Wenkui and his 20,000 troops were completely defeated and captured more than 6,000 enemy troops. Tongguan was also taken down, which was a big victory!

This victory also diluted the timid hearts of some people in Luoyang City. They couldn't help thinking, take a look! The enemy's 20,000 troops were completely defeated after only a few days of arrogance in front of less than 5,000 people. What if you have 100,000 troops?

After Chen Liu got the news of victory, he led his own guards to Hulaoguan. As for the post-war things, they were handed over to Wang En's management. After the victory in this battlefield, a lot of things needed to be dealt with, such as the food and fodder of Wang Wenkui's 20,000 army, the statistics of dead and injured people, and the burial, this time all The soldiers who died in the battle will be buried in the [War Soul Mausoleum], so Wang En will also build a large number of tombs in the War Soul Mausoleum.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is for the families of the dead soldiers. After all, they died for Liu Xia, and Liu Xia will not abandon them.

The news of victory soon reached Liu Xia's hands. Liu Xia suddenly laughed twice and swept away the depression of being harassed by the Qing army these days. Although Liu Xia did not care about Wang Wenkui's 20,000 army before, it was still happy to win.

Then Liu Xia handed the secret order in her hand to the generals next to him, and the generals began to look carefully.

"Great, great. Chen Liu is indeed a military division. Yu Mingjun's Yingyang camp is really extraordinary. It defeats 20,000 troops, which can temporarily solve the threat in the west. At this time, there will be no danger in Shaanxi for the time being. You only need to send a battalion to station on Tongguan to defend the Shaanxi army and enter Luoyang.

"Yes, yes, guard Tongguan well, and other troops can be transferred over there, which can reduce the pressure of Hu Prison Pass. If these 6,000 horses of prisoners can use..."

"No, these people have not yet been educated, and their loyalty is unknown. If they rebel, then we..."

Liu Xia waved his hand, and the generals suddenly calmed down. Liu Xia said, "Give the order to Yu Mingjun. Let Yu Mingjun lead the Yingyang Camp to rush to the tiger prison. In addition, it is ordered Ma Peng to order Ma Peng to lead the lion regiment to the tiger prison. As for the second regiment of new recruits, it will temporarily guard Tongguan."

"Yes!"

"General, these days, the Qing army is constantly harassing. From more than a thousand people at the beginning to more than 10,000 people now, it is still increasing the number of people. I'm afraid that the enemy is going to attack!"

"Yes, looking at the posture of the enemy, it is constantly increasing the number of troops to test us. Maybe one day there will be a sudden general attack."

"It's been more than October now. If the Qing army climbs for another month or two, and the Yellow River freezes, the Qing army can bypass the Hulao Pass and directly step on the ice from the Yellow River and enter Luoyang from Mengjin, Gong County and other aspects."

Liu Xia frowned and said, "Where is the grain and fodder of the Qing army now?" Liu Xia couldn't help but think of burning the enemy's food and fodder.

Grain and fodder are the most important thing in marching and fighting. Without the support of grain and fodder, it is estimated that tens of thousands of troops will soon be defeated by themselves. Who will fight for you if there is no food?

In the case of Meng Yu's continuous investigation and punishment of enemies in Luoyang, Shou Hu took on the important task of collecting the information of the Qing army, so he said, "Return to the general, the food and grass of the Qing army are in the water city not far away, but the water city is heavily guarded, and it is basically unrealistic to enter the city from the outside."

Maybe the Qing army learned the lesson of Liu Xia burning their food and fodder in Yangzhou City. Now it is crazy to rely on the face of a turret alone to enter the city.

Although Fenshui City is not too far from Hu Prison Pass, it seems that it should be very dangerous to put food and grass in Fenshui City. However, there are still 100,000 troops swaying and intercepting between Fenshui City and Hu Prison Pass, which is not too dangerous. After all, there are 100,000 troops as the front.

"Does the general want to burn the enemy's food and fodder? But it's not easy to enter the water city!"

Just as everyone was talking about their own ideas, Zhang Lianggong, the head of the recruit regiment, said, "I want to report to the general that I know how to enter the water city."

Liu Xia immediately turned her head and asked, "Huh? Do you know? Come and listen to it."

Zhang Liang said in a low voice, "General, I have led tens of thousands of people to stay in Fenshui City for a period of time. I am very familiar with the situation of Fenshui City. I know that there is a waste well three miles outside the east city of Yanshui City. There is a tunnel that goes to the city, which connects to a people. In the house.

If the general sends elite soldiers all the time, he can enter the water city through the tunnel.

"Good!"

"But who should I send?"

If there is a head-on battle, these generals will enthusiastically ask for their lives, but they don't have the ability to enter through the tunnel and burn the grain and fodder.

Liu Xia pondered for a while and said, "Let Yu Mingjun come here quickly. Yu Mingjun is responsible for entering the tunnel and burning the enemy's food and fodder."

In the Qing army camp

Azig, Duoduo, Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi, Kong Youde and others were discussing attacking Luoyang in the camp. There was a large map on the table, which was marked with clear place names.

The slightly characteristic sections of mountains, rivers and cities from Shanhaiguan to Luoyang have been carefully marked.

"Winter is coming soon. The weather is getting colder and colder now. I'm afraid the Yellow River will freeze." Shang Kexi shrank and said to himself.

"Ice?" Duoduo frowned.

"Yes, every winter, the surface of the Yellow River is frozen. We can walk directly over the Yellow River." Shang Ke said with a smile.

Duoduo suddenly patted the table and shouted, "Okay, it's freezing."

Duoduo's behavior suddenly shocked everyone, and everyone said, "Prince Yu (fifteenth brother), what's wrong with you?"

Duoduo immediately found that he had lost his temper, so he said awkwardly, "Just now, I suddenly thought of a plan."

"The surface of the Yellow River freezes in winter, and the natural danger of the Yellow River will no longer exist, so we can completely bypass the Hu Prison Pass and enter Luoyang from other places! We sent troops back to Huaiqing Mansion, wait for the Yellow River to freeze, and then enter Luoyang from Huaiqing Mansion.

"Good! Wonderful!" Azig clapped his hands.

"Who should I entrust such a heavy responsibility to?" Azig asked rhetorical.

Duoduo frowned and said, "Twelfth brother, I'd like to go."

Azig nodded and said, "Okay, since the fifteenth brother asked for his life, the twelve brothers will answer you. Duoduo obeys the order!"

"My subordinates are!"

"Order Prince Yu Duoduo to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses across the Yellow River to Huaiqing Mansion, wait for the time to cross the Yellow River and go straight to Luoyang."

"Yes!"

"Bear by the way, the twelfth brother's grain and fodder needs to be well taken care of and cannot be burned by the enemy."

Azig waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this fifteenth brother. I know in my heart that the enemy will never be burned. Don't worry about this fifteenth brother."

Duoduo still wanted to say something, but looking at Azig's impatience, Duoduo finally closed his mouth. He had failed in grain and grass, and naturally he remembered the matter of grain and grass very much.

Looking at Duoduo, he was a little unwilling. Azig said, "Brother, I know that you have lost in grain and grass, and you are very good at grain and grass, but the fifteenth brother, you are too much of a fuss. It's not that you don't know that the food and grass is behind our army. If the enemy wants to burn our food and grass, it's not so. It's easy."

"In that case, the fifteenth brother won't talk about it." After saying that, Duoduo walked out of the tent and then went to the Huaiqing Mansion.

Azig looked at Dordo's departure, and then continued to say, "The fifteenth brother led 30,000 troops to Huaiqing Mansion, and we still have 70,000 troops in our hands. Tomorrow we will start to attack the Tiger Pass, giving the enemy the illusion. Wu Sangui!"

"The end will be!"

Azig shouted, "Move out all the siege equipment and attack the city tomorrow. In addition, the cannons are also ready to bombard the city.

"Your Majesty, there are also a lot of artillery on the enemy's towers!"

"Well, their artillery is not as many as us, and the number of people is not as large as us. I will take down the Tiger Prison at all costs. No matter how many people die, I don't care. As long as I take the Tiger Prison, when I take the Tiger Prison, I will slaughter the city in Luoyang for ten days!"

"Yes!" The generals said in unison.

In the Hu prison, Liu Xia was watching the soldiers of the Guard Regiment practicing musket shooting.

"Reload!"

"Prepare!"

"Ignite!"

"Shoot!"

"Bung"

There was a sound of muskets, and all the targets not far away were beaten into sieves.

"Good!"

"General, but the musket firing is still relatively slow. If it is at this speed, it will have been killed by the enemy before it is fired."

Liu Xia nodded and said, "Divide all the soldiers into three teams, and the three teams are lined up back and forth. When the first team fires the musket, the second and third teams prepare. After the first team's launch, the second team launches, and then the first team fills the elixir and the third team prepares. After the second team's launch, the third team got up to launch, the second team filled the elixir, and the first team prepared. If it goes on like this, it can be launched without interruption.

"Wonderful! What the general said was really a good idea, which not only solved the problem of launch time, but also gave the soldiers time to rest. In this way, the soldiers will use their energy to the maximum.

Liu Xia nodded and said, "The Guards Guards and the previous musket battalion, now there are more than 1,500 soldiers equipped with muskets. I want this musketeer to bring infinite fear to the enemy!"
