Chapter 5: You hit yours, I hit mine (2)

Xiong Tingbi looked at Li Qi. Li Chaoqin's 90,000 troops were coming in a fierce manner, but they walked like turtles. They were delayed in Jiujiang for three days before the army came out. According to the scout sent by Xiong Tingbi to Jiujiang to investigate, Li Chaoqin locked more than a dozen civil servants and generals including Huang Yuntai who fled to Jiujiang and escorted them to Beijing as soon as he arrived in Jiujiang. It is estimated that Wei Zhongxian could not avoid these dozen people, and the fate would definitely be tragic.

When he entered Huguang, Li Chaoqin continued to send a large number of scouts. He was also afraid that as soon as he arrived at the city of Wuchang, the troops he distributed would follow him, and attacked him from the city and outside the city, and he would become the flesh beside his mouth.

"Eunuch Li is determined to command, plan and win a thousand miles away. He is so impressed that he is so impressed!"

"Eunuch Li is indeed Zhuge Kongming in the world. His respect for you is like a surging river, endless!"

"It's all rumored that the Jinzhou victory is just a matter of Xiongba taking the credit of his subordinates. Xiongba looked like this Xiongba was just a person with a false reputation!"

"That's right, I heard that he was still the father-in-law of the fake emperor. Eighty-one dared to compete with him for his merits, and finally took all the merits!" This general liked to take the credits of his subordinates on himself, and he would take the blame for the blame, saying that others were talking about himself.

When he entered Huguang, he would retreat when he heard the news and defeat him. When he fought, he would collapse. When he collapsed, Li Chaoqin's ears were filled with flattery and flattery. He directly called Xiong Tingbi a mediocre idiot who was incompetent and exhausted from the three armies. He heard Li Chaoqin giggled and was full of confidence, as if he was waving his hand. When he saw that Li Chaoqin was stunned by a little victory, he shook his head and sighed. Supervisor, supervisor, and supervisor was his army. If it weren't for the eunuch, he would probably save himself as the commander.

Save it, they are idiots and mediocre people, can still get on war horses, dance steel guns, and draw strong bows. What about you, a dead eunuch, fuck, this is going to fight. You think you are traveling around and enjoying the sedan chair. The eight soldiers who temporarily acted as sedan chair bearer for Li Chaoqin cursed their boss' shamelessness in their hearts, and sighed that they were not lucky and actually carried a thing without eggs!

After Li Chaoqin entered Huguang, he marched quite quickly and no longer crawled like a turtle. He reached Fankou, east of Wuchang Prefecture in three days. Then Li Chaoqin pulled Li Qi to report the victory to Wei Zhongxian, and gave a compliment. Under the wise command of his ancestors, the imperial army had recovered the lost land Fankou and others, killing 5,000 enemies.

In fact, after Xiong Tingbi occupied Wuchang, he cleared all the towns east of Wuchang. All the people and animals retreated westward, and all the strategic materials such as food were pulled into Wuchang City. Fankou occupied by Li Chaoqin was just an empty city without people. If he were not afraid that Li Chaoqin would see the opportunity and slip back to Jiangxi, Xiong Tingbi would like to take Fankou as Li Chaoqin's place to bury him!

Xiong Tingbi and others were Li Chaoqin's army crossing Zehu and annihilated Li Chaoqin's army in the field. Yang Zhaoji's 60,000 troops went south, but there were only 40,000 troops south, led by He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao, and quietly went north along Mufu Mountain. Once Li Chaoqin's road back to Jiangxi was blocked, the Yangtze River was in the north and He Renlong and Cao Wenzhao's army was in the east, so Li Chaoqin had to flee south. At this moment, Yang Zhaoji, who went south to Changsha Prefecture, quickly returned to the army, waiting for his leisure to work, surrounded and blocked the enemy from three sides, annihilated the enemy in the movement, and ate Li Chaoqin's army bit by bit.

Xiong Tingbi abandoned the traditional combat mode for the purpose of fighting for the city for the first time, and did not directly adopt strategies such as sneak attacks or ambushing. He wanted to completely eat Li Chaoqin's 90,000 troops. He groped and adopted Zhu Yinglong to mention the tactics of annihilation of the enemy in the movement, adopting division and surround, and eating the opponent bit by bit. This tactic is very suitable for the purpose of annihilation of the enemy under the same force and combat effectiveness. None of the generals had heard of such a novel way of playing, and were confused about the strange deployment of the head coach. So Xiong Tingbi first explained to them the tasks that each general would complete and what purpose they were going to achieve. Whether it was done on the battlefield or making decisions on the spot, as long as he could complete his strategic concept, if he could not complete it, he would engage in military law!

There are many lakes and rivers in Wuchangfu, which is simply the best battlefield to realize this new tactic. He can cut Li Chaoqin's army into several sections during the retreat through the lake and river, and use a small number of troops to restrain and intercept them, so that he can retreat or escape according to the route he imagined, and then concentrate superior forces to continuously eat up the surrounding army. Eighty thousand and ninety thousand, Xiong Tingbi is still sure if he annihilates this army. Wei Zhongxian may not have the courage to send a large army to recover Huguang again. This is exactly the result Xiong Tingbi wants.

Just as Li Chaoqin led the army to slowly form an encirclement of Wuchang City, he was not so proud that he had forgotten that there were two armies that might return to Wuchang at any time, especially Yuezhou's reinforcements were the fastest, and there were also the navy. Therefore, he also knew how to set up defenses in Jiangxia Town to prevent his opponent from returning to Wuchang. At the same time, he also surrounded three queu-one. Apart from Jiangxia Town, the remaining 70,000 troops lined up, surrounding the east, south and west sides of Wuchang.

What a good guy, the flags cover the sun, the swords and guns are bright. When you look at the soldiers holding swords and guns, they look like they are sheep waiting to be slaughtered. On the other hand, in Wuchang City, they are brightly dressed and full of energy, and they are staring at the military camps under the city without squinting. They are full of hostility.

"Mr. Bi, our Eunuch Li is also a wonderful person. He learns first and then the soldiers!" Xiong Tingbi smiled rare and handed the letter of persuasion that Li Chaoqin ordered to shoot into the city to Bi Zisu, the next leader, said.

Bi Zisu took the letter of persuasion, scanned it for a moment, and laughed: "Wei Zhongxian trusts Li Chaoqin very much. This time he actually sent him to the army supervisor. Aren't you afraid that his treasure godson will fail?"

"It's broken and the sand? Hehe, I heard that for the position of this military supervisor, there have been quite a lot of storms in Nanjing!" said Sun Chuanting, who was counseling military affairs.

"Why do we care about so much? The military order given to us by the emperor is to completely wipe out Li Chaoqin's 90,000 troops. We don't need to consider the others!" Hong Chengchou saw the most directly and said.

"Mr. Hong said this to me. Just now, I received a slander from the court. Huang Taiji and Chahar's army fought against the Mongolian grasslands. Hehe, who would win?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they had not digested the news for a long time.

"Lin Danhan has always adopted a tolerant attitude towards the Jin people. Why is he so courageous this time?" Bi Zisu was the deputy envoy of Liaodong military commander, so he naturally knew very well about the grudges between the Jin people and Chahar Mongolia.

"This coach can't answer Lord Bi anymore. I think the emperor probably didn't understand it at this moment." Xiong Tingbi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"No matter what, this is definitely a good thing for our Ming Dynasty. Lin Dan wouldn't act with Huang Taiji for us, right?" Sun Chuanting joked, and Bi Zisu and others immediately burst into laughter.

"They beat them, we beat us, Xiong Du, the sheep have entered the pen. Should we close the door and slaughter the sheep?" Hong Chengchou couldn't wait to suggest. After all, he was still young and his energy was very strong and his energy had not completely faded.

"Mr. Hong, you are even more anxious than General Xiong. Your fleet has no combat missions. You can't even find a single ship of Li Chaoqin. Could it be that he can still swim back to Jiangxi?" Bi Zisu couldn't help but ridicule Hong Chengchou and said.

"Mr. Bi isn't anxious? So many people have been withdrawn in one go. You want to solve Li Chaoqin earlier. You can send the people home. The public security in Wuchang has been much worse in the past two days. Your government office is probably overcrowded." Hong Chengchou is not a good man and a trustworthy woman, so he immediately fought back.

"Hehe!" Bi Zisu laughed dryly. Hong Chengchou was talking about the truth. He had retreated to Wuchang City, and there were more people who were stealing and could not catch them. Now, as long as there was no major death case, he could only turn a blind eye.

That night, Xiong Tingbi gathered ten artillery in Wuchang City and shelled Li Chaoqin in the central army camp outside Zhongxiao Gate. It was only the only thing that his central army camp was within the range of the cannons at Zhongxiao Gate. A shocking loud noise almost buried Li Chaoqin in the loess. He hurriedly ordered the army to retreat and set up camp for ten miles. Before he could stop, a guerrilla guarding Fankou fled with dozens of remaining soldiers and brought it to Li Chaoqin.

What is the bad news about the fall of Fankou. The guerrillas did not see clearly how many people attacked Fankou in the dark night. They randomly fabricated a number of 50,000 or 60,000. This scared Li Chaoqin so much that his soul was rising. Isn’t it that Yang Zhaoji who had divided his troops out? Yesterday, the scout reported that Yang Zhaoji’s army had already arrived at Changsha City. How could it suddenly appear behind? Not only did it cut off his supply route, but it also cut off the shortest way back to Jiangxi.

Li Chaoqin was in panic all day long when he suddenly became smart. He remembered that he was just a military supervisor, not a commander. If something happened, Li Qi would take care of him, so he could not get any trouble. He immediately pushed him out and handed over all the command power of the army to Li Qi.

Li Qi was still angry, but she had no choice but to take over the command power and finally stabilize the army. She calculated the losses of the shelling just now. Be good, she set off ten shells, killing more than 500 people. On average, one shell actually killed more than 50 people. This was too outrageous. After a closer look, what made him vomit blood was that in the chaos just now, more than 2,000 people secretly ran away while the chaos was caused by the shell explosion. Most of the dead were violently shaken by the shells, crushed to death. There were also those in the darkness, unable to see clearly, tripped, and trampled to death by their own people in the chaos.

Since the opponent has such sharp firearms but he doesn't, how can he fight this battle? When Li Qi told Li Chaoqin the conclusion he had reached, he was ready to discuss it with him and suggested that the army temporarily withdraw to Jiujiang, Jiangxi. Li Chaoqin's central army was bombarded and his heart was broken. He thought to himself that there was a reason why the enemy had such powerful firearms, and he could not defeat Wuchang. Anyway, he was a military supervisor and the responsibility could not be put on his head. He nodded happily.

"Xiong Governor, Li Qi, Li Chaoqin's rear army has begun to detach the camp!" Hong Chengchou looked far away through his beloved telescope in the morning light.

"I didn't expect this Li Qi, Li Chaoqin was so timid, and just ten shells scared them back." Bi Zisu shook his head and sighed.

"Yes, I also want to fight a few battles under Wuchang City to train the army in actual combat. Unexpectedly, Li Qi and Li Chaoqin just don't give me a chance." Xiong Tingbi said self-deprecatingly.

Anyone who knows the soldiers knows that only the army that truly walks out of the battlefield of blood and fire can be considered a qualified army. They won't be arrogant and won't be discouraged. A army won't be too easy to win, and it is very easy to breed pride and underestimate the enemy. Not only soldiers, but also generals are the same. Xiong Tingbi only gave Zuo Liangyu 20,000 troops to go west and south. It seems to be easier than Yang Zhaoji's, but it is actually not easy. He will encounter more cruel resistance than the army, because the west is the gathering place of the Miao people. The Miao people have always been unsubmissive to the Han people's rule, and uprisings and resistances. Although the court set up many Xuanfu Divisions there to manage Miao Miao and build a border wall. Those who accept the rule of the court are called mature Miao. In the deep mountains, those who resist the rule of the court are called Sheng Miao. Now the power of the court has been out of control. It depends on whether Zuo Liangyu can regain control there in the hands of the court.

Xiong Tingbi is good at tempering Zuo Liangyu's heart, but he used the wrong place. For ethnic minorities like the Miao people, it will never be difficult to truly surrender. Zuo Liangyu didn't understand the powerful relationship at all. At that time, the Miao people would not accept it, and he held up the butcher's knife and killed Zhu Yinglong. This is also a place where Zhu Yinglong was not considering it properly. In the west of Xiang, he only knew that bandits were full of troubles, and he did not think about ethnic conflicts. Because the rulers of the Ming Dynasty in all dynasties adopted high-pressure policies towards the Miao people, and even Sun Chengzong didn't think anything was wrong, so he didn't mention Zhu Yinglong. If it weren't for Zhu Yinglong
