Thinking of this, Wu Zheng stood up suddenly.

He paced back and forth, and after several rounds, he thought, "No, the 180,000 figure should not be wrong, and Chen Zhiyuan would not deceive me... But what is the problem? Is it fake information? Chen Zhiyuan was deceived? Is he that stupid?"

Song An made a fuss and made a debut: "Maybe the information is half true and half false, for example, the number of soldiers is true, but the goal is false. It is precisely because of the half true and half false that Chen Zhiyuan was deceived."

These words made Wu Zheng suddenly enlightened. Yes, this is very likely.

"Okay! Let's follow this idea to guess where is the main force of the Qing army? What exactly does Dorgon want to do?"

Song An thought, "In fact, it is not difficult to guess. The Qing army used 50,000 or 60,000 people as bait, so there are only two more important targets than Jingjiang, one is Yingtian Prefecture and the other is Xincheng. If you want to attack the new city, Tongzhou is the main attack direction. The Qing army has 40,000 or 50,000 people in Taizhou, while Tongzhou only has 10,000 people. Therefore, this is unlikely, and the only remaining Yingtian Prefecture is."

Wu Zheng thought, "But this makes no sense. I suggested to the court to transfer Liao Zhongping's troops to Changzhou, which was used to prevent the situation. There were only more than 10,000 people mobilized. In addition to the original 30,000 Beijing Guards, there were also 80,000 new troops in the capital. In addition to the emperor's own nearly 10,000 imperial guards, there were nearly 120,000 troops. The Qing army could conquer Yingtian Prefecture in a short time? You must know that once it was confirmed that the main attack direction of the Qing army was Yingtian Prefecture, Liao Zhongping's troops could return to the capital in just two days, and our troops could also reinforce... How could Dorgon have such confusing confidence?"

This is true.

Yingtian Mansion was once the capital city, and the city defense was very strong.

Needless to say, there are enough defensive forces in the city. Even if the discount is half, there are only 60,000 defenders and 120,000 Qing troops cannot be defeated within two days. This is an obvious truth.

Wu Zheng said: "Besides, the navy of King Zhiren of Xingguo is still there. Although half of the loss was lost before, the court had no money to only replenish soldiers and did not replenish warships or artillery. However, with these half of the warships, they could also block the Qing army, and at least delay the Qing army's landing on the southern bank."

The generals were silent.

If these reasons are valid, then the assumption that the Qing army's main attack direction was not Jingjiang would be overturned, and the problem would return to the original entanglement, that is, whether the Qing army had 180,000.

Wu Zheng did have a severe headache.

At this time, Chi Erhan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke, "Anyway, I was Dorgon, since I was determined to take revenge, it would be impossible to pretend."

Wu Zheng was stunned, "What do you mean?"

Chi Erhan said in a muffled voice: "If you can't beat him, you will have to bite the other party to death. What's more, Dorgon has an army of 180,000."

"Do you firmly believe that Dorgon really assembled 180,000 troops this time?"

"Um!"

Wu Zheng stared at Chi Erhan in a daze, and had to say that Chi Erhan's words strengthened Wu Zheng's inner guess.

That's right, Wu Zheng was indeed focusing on the fact that the Qing army's main attack target was Yingtian Mansion. It was just that because he could not explain how the Qing army could succeed in the attack within two days, he was somewhat shaken by the speculation in his heart.

But at this time, Chi Erhan, who was rarely spoken, relied on his instinct to make Wu Zheng pay attention to the statements.

This is a kind of battlefield intuition, which has nothing to do with tactics and strategic capabilities.

This is like a rude man who has never read books and does not understand military tactics, who can still lead troops to win battles and become a famous general of a generation. Intuition and instinct are indispensable prerequisites for becoming a famous general, otherwise, it would be Zhao Kuo.

Intuition and instinct are by no means empty or insignificant. This requires the keenness of a natural beast and the accumulation of a long-standing battlefield, and neither is missing.

Although Chi Erhan's words were rough, they meant that he felt and perspective from a bystander.

Wu Zheng couldn't help but take it seriously.

"Just according to the main attack direction of the Qing army, Yingtian Prefecture is the idea. Do you think the Qing army will ensure that it will break through Yingtian Prefecture within two days?"

Wu Zheng made a decision for this pre-war military conference.

Tomorrow is the day when the battle begins, and there is no time left.

Since the goal has been set, the general will think in this direction.

"Since the 180,000 troops are true, except for Taizhou, the 60,000 people in Tongzhou are enough to allow the Qing army to launch an attack from the west and north sides at the same time. In this way, Yingtian Prefecture will bear the 120,000 troops at the same time at the same time, thereby shortening the time to break through Yingtian Prefecture."

"Jiangpu...must be Jiangpu."

"Spread rumors, 80,000 new recruits may lose their fighting intention."

"If there is an internal response in the city, the time can be shortened."

"Architecture, a large number of artillery fired."

"Yes, getting ashore from Jiangpu is the most convenient recently."

...A series of verbal analysis and assumptions made Wu Zheng terrified.

Things that were originally impossible seemed to be becoming more and more real after being said like this.

It's as real as it has happened.

Wu Zheng stood up quickly, looked at the map, and said in a deep voice: "If this is the case, how should we deal with it?"

Once this problem is thrown out, it will be silent.

It takes at least two or three days to mobilize three armies.

The staff is still fast, what should I do if the artillery is there?

The key is that Jingjiang is still being restrained by 50,000 Qing troops in Taizhou, and 10,000 Qing troops in Tongzhou.

Can it be mobilized?

Once mobilized, what should I do if the Qing army on the other side of the strait is really a fake show?

Originally, the Northern Expedition Army had insufficient troops, and 30,000 people relied on the Yangtze River to fight against the Qing army to cross the river.

No one dares to speak, even if he has an idea in his mind, he dares not speak.

Because the consequences are too great.

If troops were dispatched to rescue Yingtian Prefecture, the troops from Jiangyin to Yangshe were empty, and the Qing army on the other side would cross the river to attack south. Then Suzhou, Songjiang and Jiaxing were in a state of unstoppable direction, until Hangzhou Prefecture.

Just relying on Chen Sheng’s Baqianli Haiwei?

Wu Zheng understood why the generals refused to speak, and he couldn't force others to speak, right?

Wu Zheng himself was also weighing the pros and cons. Dorgon's move was indeed too ruthless.

Not only will he be rescued when attacking him, but he also attacks the world with a voice, true and false, false and true.

This is a conspiracy.

The protection of Yingtian Prefecture, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Jiaxing will be unstoppable. Until Hangzhou Prefecture, it will be led by Taizhou and Tongzhou's 60,000 Qing troops will be left uninhabited.

If Jiangyin is preserved, then the capital Yingtian Prefecture will be lost.

No matter how Wu Zheng made a choice, it would be wrong. No matter how you choose, it would be the beginning of the decline of the power of Yixing Dynasty.

At this time, Wu Zheng blamed himself for underestimating the enemy and underestimating Dorgon too much.

But, is it still useful?

Wu Yi, deputy commander of Jinshan Guard, said: "At the time of life and death, we are not sages, we can only save our army from being severely damaged, so as to achieve the future."
