Song An looked at Wu Zheng and said, "What Wu and Lu are saying is reasonable, and they should be constantly interrupted and suffer from chaos... But no matter what the prince makes, I, Song An, have nothing to say, listen to the prince."

Wu Zheng glanced at the generals and saw that no one was talking, so he gritted his teeth and was about to make a decision.

At this time, Chi Erhan said in a muffled voice: "In my opinion, our army's current equipment is far stronger than that of the Qing army. The Qing army is said to be 180,000, but the real combat power is nothing more than those Manchu and Mongolian flag soldiers. How many are there? 10,000? 20,000? At most, 30,000, or 40,000! They will rescue us, so why don't we counterattack them, and we will save them? It's just to fight to the death in the end, what are they afraid of? "

As soon as these words were said, not only the generals were shocked, but Wu Zheng was also immediately excited.

That's right. He hits him, I hit mine, you attack my Yingtian Mansion, I destroy 60,000 Qing troops on the other side of your shore and occupy your Yangzhou Mansion.

Once Yangzhou Prefecture is lost, the Qing court will have to worry about the gains and losses in Shandong.

If the Wusong Navy was asked to cooperate with Dagu to attack him, the Qing court would probably be shocked.

Wu Zheng laughed loudly, patted Chi Erhan's back of the head and praised: "You kid, I really don't see it. You are so anxious at the critical moment... So, it's still good for me to let you study. Look, the military academy has not been in vain for the past few months, right?"

Chi Erhan laughed and said, "Yes, yes, the young master's words have always been correct."

Wu Zheng was even more happy and said to Song An: "Look, listen, our Chi Erhan also knows how to flatter and flatter."

....

"I will order you!" Wu Zheng made the decision.

All the generals stood up together.

"The Jinshan Guard is covered by the Wusong Navy and crossing the river to attack Tongzhou, and you must defeat the Qing army in Tongzhou before sunset tomorrow, advance towards Rugao, and form an encirclement of the Qing army in Taizhou."

"I ordered the Hangzhou Guards to be covered by Zhoushan Navy, cross the river to occupy Shizhuang, and then quickly head north toward Taizhou."

"I ordered Jiang Quanyi's troops to cross the river and occupy Taixing immediately, defend and wait for assistance. After the Hangzhou Guards occupied Huangqiao Town, they cooperated with the Hangzhou Guards to attack Taizhou City on both sides."

"After completing the cover of Hangzhou Guards, Zhoushan Navy quickly advanced westward to Dantu Waters and cooperated with the Xingguo Duke Navy to block Yi Zhenqing's army from crossing the river."

"After the Wusong Navy completed the cover of Jinshan Guard, he went north to sea and shelled Dagu."

"Lingli Haiwei immediately went north to take over the defense of Suzhou Prefecture, and sent a powerful unit to Changshu just in case."

"Let Yanzhou Guards go north to Ningguo Mansion to prevent the Qing army from crossing the river from Jiangpu to move south."

...At the same time, Wu Zheng sent people to Yingtian Prefecture, suggesting that Xia Wanchun's Jianyang Guard stationed in Duan Dasheng Pass and block the Qing army that crossed the river in Jiangpu.

....

This is a local strategic idea.

At least Wu Zheng does not think that this is a real Northern Expedition.

At best, he surrounded Wei and saved Zhao.

But Wu Zheng was optimistic about the prospect of this idea. Chi Erhan was right. There were not many people in the Eight Banners Army, which had the real combat power. It was even more impossible for Dorgon to deploy his elite troops in the feint attack and restrain the Northern Expedition Army.

Then, even if the Qing army opposite him had 60,000 people, they were paper tigers. A rapid assault was enough to defeat these Qingming army or Han armed forces that should have been their own.

Only when Dorgon hurts and the Qing court will the Qing army actively shrink, thereby alleviating the pressure on Yingtian Mansion. In fact, Wu Zheng also used this method in Zhenjiang and Dantu defensive wars before, and it was just a similar work.

Just passed on the first day of June.

The commando team composed of 3,000 vanguards of Jiang Quanyi's troops in Jingjiang launched an assault on the north shore with more than 60 ships.

Half an hour later, the vanguard used lightning speed to scatter hundreds of Qing soldiers blocking the banks along the river, and advanced towards Taixing at the Chou Shichu.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, it was still dark. Jinshanwei and Hangzhouwei crossed the river at the same time. Nearly a thousand large and small ships were densely covered on the river. Even the door panels and bed boards of the people's homes that were temporarily collected were used to drag the back of the ship to transport supplies and equipment.

But the two soldiers trained guards were busy but not in a mess. They boarded the ship in an orderly manner in sequence, and marched on the shoulders of the soldiers in front in the dark, and it could be said that they didn't even have a cough.

At the third hour of the Yin hour, the vanguard landed. After defeating and expelling the small Qing army along the coast, it was immediately divided into several teams and putting warnings to the five-mile radius to cover the subsequent brigade of troops landing.

From Taixing to Tongzhou, in more than three hours, nearly 20,000 troops successfully landed on the other side.

Then three arrows are formed and advance northward.

....

At the beginning of the Mao hour, under the deployment of Dorgon, the Qing army launched an attack south in three directions at the scheduled time.

The Qing army in Taizhou attacked Taixing.

In the direction of Yizhen and Jiangpu, thousands of ships appeared on the shore.

This is a battle that both sides consider to be a surprise attack.

The main attack target is exactly the direction that the opponent could not predict before the war.

Wu Zheng thought that the information sent by Shen Zhiyuan was correct, so he mistakenly deployed his troops.

Dorgon thought that Wu Zheng had been deceived, but he did not expect that Wu Zheng discovered something wrong more than a day before the war, so he changed his tactics and quickly changed from passive defense to active attack.

This is a completely asymmetric battle. You fight yours and I fight mine, and it depends on who can't hold on in the end.

....

Jiang Quanyi is a ruthless person.

He was not a ruthless person at first, but after such a tragic defensive battle like Yi Zhen, even the Buddha nature would probably become a ruthless person.

This cruelty comes from the heart and is unforgettable.

He was arranged by Wu Zheng to study in the military academy for half a year. At this time, due to the sudden outbreak of war, he was temporarily transferred back to Jingjiang to command his troops. His troops had not yet completed the change of equipment, and the only ones that were equipped were grenades and landmines.

The time required for training and use of these two things is much shorter than that of musket training.

To put it bluntly, even if you are illiterate, you can learn to use it within two or three days. Of course, it is impossible to be mastered, and you don’t need to be mastered on the battlefield, so it is enough to know how to use it.

The distance from the river bank to Taixing and Taizhou to Taixing is more than twice as far away.

In other words, when Jiang Quanyi's troops occupied Taixing, the Qing army's vanguard heading south of Taizhou had only walked halfway.

The generals who passed through the tragic battlefield were indeed more courageous than ordinary people.

At this time, Jiang Quanyi had only 3,000 people in his hands, and the subsequent troops were still on the way.

According to Wu Zheng's order, Jiang Quanyi should deploy defense in Taixing City, hold on to wait for assistance, and wait for subsequent troops to arrive and cooperate with the Hangzhou Guards to attack the Qing army in Taizhou.

Cooperation, this is the primary and secondary. If you win, the first achievement will be Hangzhou Guard.
