Dominate the Country

[Tomorrow is another recommendation day, I wonder if I can wait for the background text message/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~]

In Xuzhou City, Chen Ming failed to completely annihilate the Henan Green Camp, and Qin Guangyuan escaped with at least two thousand soldiers. Although this was obtained at the cost of most of Fubiao and a battalion in Hebei Town, he was able to save at least half of his army.

Not to mention how hard it was for Asiha to get the news, nor to mention that Qin Guangyuan, who had escaped from Xuzhou City, led his team all the way north. The final destination was Xinzheng or Kaifeng. Anyway, there was no threat to his attack along the way. In other words, the only enemy left to the east of Chen's army was Chen Huizu's tribe.

Judging from the entire battle situation, the Chen Jiajun has done really well in the past half month. They defeated the Shaanxi Green Camp and the last Henan Green Camp. Their current enemies are only the Qing troops in Anhui and the two troops in the south. .

The banner soldiers from Hubei, Shaanxi [Xing'an Town] Green Camp and Jingzhou led by Yong Rui have entered the central part of Runing Prefecture, and are estimated to be only one or two hundred miles away from Yancheng. This is because they dragged the cannon all the way and took many detours in order to take advantage of the water conservancy. Moreover, most areas of Runing Prefecture are in a state of anarchy. Both material collection and civilian recruitment are slow and tight. Otherwise, they may now They fought to the edge of the Shah River.

This should be the biggest reason why Chen Huizu simply led his troops to leave Yancheng after receiving the news of Xuzhou's defeat. In just a few days, another large force of the Qing army with more than 10,000 troops will be able to enter the battlefield. Why is he still fighting with the Chen family army under the city of Yancheng?

There was also the battle in Nanyang Prefecture. The attacking Qing troops were mainly from Hanzhong Town, supplemented by the scattered defeated soldiers of Nanyang Town and the local heroic militia, with a total strength of more than 6,000 people. The Chen Jiajun only had two battalions there, Chen Wenzan and Lu Long. The Gao Jinghui battalion was still moving south rapidly, but it had just entered Nanzhao, which was still a few hundred miles away from Nanyang Fucheng.

The current situation is that although the Chen Jiajun defeated two groups in succession during the multi-pronged encirclement and suppression campaign by the armies of the four provinces, Chen Ming still had to eliminate the two Qing groups from Runing and Chenzhoufu on the battlefield of Yancheng. soldiers, and then go to reinforce Nanyang Mansion. The Chen family's army, which had far fewer troops than the Qing army and had to defend itself from other enemies, could only fall into this passive strategic situation. Fortunately, with the victory in the Battle of Xuzhou, Chen Erbao Camp was finally liberated. It was enough to have Huang An at the head of one camp in Xiangxian County.

When necessary, the Chen Jiajun abandoned Nanyang Fucheng and retreated to Fangcheng. Chen Wenzan and Lu Long's troops joined Gao Jinghui's camp. No matter how bad the three battalions were, they could still resist the Qing army's attack.

The key still lies in whether the main force of the Chen family army led by Chen Ming can win another glorious victory in the Yancheng War.

Chen Jiajun's biggest problem right now is that he must win and not draw. As long as the war situation remains stalemate, Chen Ming, the main force, will be firmly restrained. When the Manchu and Qing Dynasties mobilized elite soldiers from all over the country to gather one by one, this military stalemate will be broken sooner or later, and most of the unlucky ones will be Chen Jiajun. Just like the Red Army after the Battle of Guangchang, the defeat was irreversible. To preserve its strength, it was necessary to carry out a strategic shift. The base area and numerous properties had to be abandoned. It was unknown how big the losses would be.

It is similar to the north and south camps of the Qing army during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, the Taiping Army had capable generals and strength. They defeated the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps several times. However, the Chen family army was not the Taiping Army at that time.

Because, no soldier in any army will continue to fight without fatigue and remain high-spirited, unless they are inspired by victory after victory, and the spiritual power directly affects the body. Otherwise, if the confrontation lasts for a long time, both morale and military morale will continue to decline. There is also this reason why many rebel armies find it difficult to restore the situation once they are defeated.

The pressure on Chen Ming was still as heavy as a mountain. In other people's wars, victory and defeat are commonplace, and it is normal to have losses and wins. But now he must ensure that he can only win. Not only is he not allowed to lose, but he is not even allowed to draw.

Yongrui has now arrived at Huanggang Town in Zhengyang County. His vanguard has also entered Runing City. Lincheng is right in front of him. As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Yongrui does not show any joy at all. Huguang Admiral Fuyong was the actual commander of this main force of the Qing army, and his face was gloomy and embarrassed.

In the past half month, there really has been no good news. First, the Shaanxi Green Camp was defeated in Linru Town, and Wang Tenglong committed suicide. Then the Henan Green Camp was also defeated in Xuzhou, with only half of the 4,000 to 5,000 men remaining. Without a long period of repairs, the remaining team would be He couldn't muster the courage to go to the battlefield again. However, Ni Daliang, the commander-in-chief of Hanzhong Town, led more than 4,000 Hanzhong soldiers and horses, and more than 1,000 Nanyang civilians helped out. However, the 6,000-strong army was unable to capture Nanyang Fucheng.

In fact, the only thing Yongrui and Fuyong can count on now is Ni Daliang. Only if the Qing soldiers in Nanyang Mansion fight well can Chen Ming's Xiao Rui have to divide his troops to rescue them. But now Hanzhong Town is trapped outside Nanyang Mansion City. No progress, what does that mean? This means that when they lead their troops to the north, they will face the main force of Chen Ming's army, which is not very large in number but has overwhelming combat effectiveness.

Although at the earliest, or only half a month ago, Yongrui and Fuyong did not think much of the Chen Jiajun's combat effectiveness. But as the eight thousand Shaanxi Green Battalion collapsed in a battle outside Linru Town, even two pigs would no longer underestimate the Chen Jiajun's combat effectiveness.

The Chen family's army is small in number and powerful in combat. The best way to deal with such a team is to force them to divide their forces.

The full combat effectiveness of Chen Ming's team was 100, but he only had 4,000 men. If he lost 1,000 men, the combat effectiveness of the entire army would not drop by a quarter, but by 30%, 40%, or even more.

At this time, Chen Ming led the team to Yancheng, transported the team to Changshe Town via Yinghe River, and then took the land route to change Yinghe River to Shahe River. After the fleet sent from Yancheng picked them up, they went straight to Shahe River. It seemed that the journey was longer after going around half a circle, but in fact it was not. It took only three days for Chen's army to get from Xuzhou to Yancheng, while if they took the land route, the time would be twice as long.

In addition, he scared some of the Qing soldiers stationed in Xihua and ran back to Chenzhou Prefecture.

…

Compared with Xuzhou and the eastern part of Kaifeng Prefecture, which were close at hand, Yuzhou, which was obviously closer, seemed to be protected by God and had not suffered any invasion from Chen's army at all. Although on the surface, Yuzhou's security looked like the Chen family army had no time to invade.

At this time, Zong Weifeng was cursing at the Yuzhou government. A group of civilians organized a militia, and they actually looked down on his dignified official army? No matter how embarrassed the Lu's camp was, it was still the imperial army. What was your Yuzhou militia? ? ?

"Damn it, do you really think you are smart and everyone else is stupid? Kaifeng Prefecture is about to be stabbed in the ass, and only they, Yuzhou, have the ability to rely on four or five hundred militias to scare the Chen family thieves away from entering the country?"

Since the remnants of the Lu's camp arrived in Yuzhou, except for ten pigs and one hundred stones of grain, Zong Weifeng has not been able to deduct a grain from the government gate, not to mention the silver to restore the morale of the remnants of the Lu's camp. Zong Weifeng really wanted to tear his face with the Yuzhou government directly. Who can't see now that the reason why Yuzhou can maintain "peace" is entirely the result of allowing Chen's army to purchase medicinal materials from Yuzhou? Do Yuzhou officials really think they are smart?
