The smoke on the battlefield has not completely dissipated. There are many corpses of people and horses on the ground outside the battalions, and some are treating the wounded.Zhang Ning climbed the north hillside that shelled him, and climbed high and looked at it. Sure enough, he could see the battlefield before.There were as many as hundreds of people, but the generals still could not hide the joy of victory. It was a normal thing to die when fighting.But Zhang Ning couldn't be too happy. He looked back at Senator Zhu Heng. Zhu Heng's face also had no expression on him, and he was touching his chin and looking at him.
Their goal was to capture and completely defeat the Southern Route Army as soon as possible. This battle obviously did not achieve its goal, but was ambushed, although it was not successful.
During the ambush, the cavalry of the Southern Route Army was not injured; the infantry and artillery fled, but the main force of the infantry did not participate in the war, but was responsible for luring the enemy into the east camp.
The Suzaku Army must launch an offensive attack on its main force again to achieve its strategic goals.
More than ten intact goalkeeper artillery were seized from the mountain, but it was useless to the Vermilion Bird Army. It could only be destroyed to avoid falling into the hands of the government army again.
This kind of gun is not only heavy in transportation, but also because of its crude design, low utilization rate and huge ammunition consumption, there is not so much gunpowder to be used in the army.
Zhang Ning stood on the hillside for a long time, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, so he said to his left and right: Yu Qian is here in Changsha?
No one could answer his question, and the generals had to look at each other.The Defense Department has no information about Yu Qian’s whereabouts, and the Senate has no way to know.
The commander who commanded this ambush was definitely a talent. Even Zhang Ning never expected the tactics of combining cavalry and artillery before. It was not until this battle that he suddenly recalled it. This tactic seemed to have indeed existed in the later Western military.He is a civil servant, he does not know enough about firearms, but he is very wise.Such a person should not be any nameless person. All Zhang Ning can think of is Yu Qian, who has the best.
Zhang Ning silently inferred that if the cavalry and artillery tactics were to use the long-barrel field artillery he had and a sufficient number of cavalry like the official army, it would probably be invincible in the open land, and it would be enough to defeat the infantry and military formations like the Zhuque Army.
The sun is half set, the setting sun is like blood, and it shines with the tragic tragedy on the battlefield.
Today we can only camp nearby for rest. The soldiers all need some rest. In the next night, Feng Youxian's cavalry will be able to come back.
Sure enough, Feng Youxian came back before dark. He came to the central army to apologize and failed to participate in the war in time. Zhang Ning did not blame him, but instead praised him: General Feng rushed to the enemy's back, successfully destroyed the floating bridge, and the cavalry regiment returned intact. What crime is there?
After hearing this, Feng Youxian hurriedly thanked him.
At this time, Zhou Mengxiong followed the words: The Xiang River surface is wide, and the government army will use a large number of ships to build three floating bridges. Now all of them have been burned down. It is unlikely that the main force of the enemy will be able to cross the river. Perhaps we will be able to catch up with its camp tomorrow and defeat its main force.
Yu Qian may be in the southern army.Zhang Ning said calmly. He paused and asked Zhou Mengxiong, if General Zhou is now the commander of the South Road of the Official Army, how should he deal with this situation?
Zhou Mengxiong frowned and pondered for a long time. The Southern Army suffered a defeat and his morale was not as stable as before. He should not win if he fought, and he could not escape.The cavalry can evacuate north, but the infantry camp has no choice. It doesn’t matter if Changsha Prefecture defends, there is a Xiangshui barrier. At this time, the Vermilion Bird Army will not spend time attacking the city... Yes, there is a mountain called Yuelu Mountain near the Orange Island of Xiangshui. You must have heard of the world-famous Yuelu Academy, which is in this mountain.
Zhang Ning said: Yu Qian... If General Zhou was the commander, would he go to Yuelu Mountain to defend?
Zhou Mengxiong said: There is no way to do this. If you can't escape, you won't win. You won't be optimistic when you go up. If you go up, you will be trapped and die. Sooner or later... However, relying on terrain defense will delay time.
At this time, Zhu Heng said softly: Even if the Southern Army is defeated, it is extremely beneficial to delay time. Our Changde Mansion is empty, and the Northern Army has gathered and advanced before.
Zhang Ning felt a little heavy when he thought about it. He felt that Yu Qian would definitely do this, or that Yu Qian could come up with a better solution.As long as it can be dragged for a while.
But should we give up the meat that comes to the mouth?If the Southern Route Army is not completely defeated, this piece of meat will threaten the whole country and the back.
The important members in the big tent talked about their opinions from time to time.
After a long time, Zhang Ning spoke: Now we should make a decision in advance, and let Changde Mansion transport the heavy artillery and weapons bureau workshop to Chenzhou as soon as possible... When we had no choice, we gave up Changde Mansion and exchanged strategic depth for time; first defeat more than 20,000 people on the southern road to reduce the pressure on our army in the future.
Zhou Mengxiong is now very active in military affairs, probably because he had married Zhang Ning and needed to transfer food from Changde Prefecture to provide disaster relief. If we only have Chenzhou Prefecture, and there are more than 10,000 troops left to eat locally, it would be difficult to support it if we had time.
Zhang Ning said in a deep voice: Changde Mansion has almost no combat troops to defend, beware of accidental falls... Never let field artillery fall into the hands of the official army!We would rather have no field artillery when fighting the Northern Route Army in Changde Prefecture than bear the risk of artillery being captured.The officials of Changde Prefecture ordered the transfer of artillery, but my intention was decided; Chenzhou in Changde was long and there was no time to go, so I would send a fast horse to pass the order tonight.
Zhu Heng said in confusion: The prince believes that the official army will defend itself?
There is no evidence to confirm it at the moment, but I judge that this matter is almost the same. Yu Qian should be in the army, so this person should not be underestimated.Zhang Ning said.
Everyone was a little puzzled, and some even thought that Zhang Ning's performance today was very bad. He decided on military affairs without any credible intelligence and evidence. How could the major events be decided by one person's intuition? Do you regard decision-making as a joke?
Everyone didn't think how powerful the governor of Huguang, Zhang Ning mentioned repeatedly, was Yu Qian. He completed the imperial examination road at less than 30 years old and was promoted to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and a senior official. Perhaps he had great achievements in becoming an official, but what else was outstanding? Yu Qian was not very famous at this time, and no one had heard of it before.
But the people present heard that I had made up my mind and could not say anything else.
Because Zhang Ning's group structure is streamlined and lacks a system of restraining and decentralization, he is actually a dictator, and he self-evidently has the highest military and political power.
In addition, Zhang Ning's identity as a prince within the Jianwen Party and the Suzaku Army were his reality of organizing from scratch; no one inside had the same strength to compete with him.
However, everyone was convinced by the next morning. The forward detective had already reported the movements of the South Road Camp and was really heading towards Yuelu Mountain. People have to admit that Zhang Ning sometimes relied on his intuition.
The movements of the Southern Route Army were mostly about going up to Yuelu Mountain, and there was no way out at this time.As long as the Suzaku Army does not withdraw voluntarily, most of this official army will be destroyed here, and there will be no depth or room for going up the mountain, and it will only be a death.
Zhang Ning looked back on the left and right during the march: Yu Qian must be in the southern army!Except for him, no military general and bureaucrat in Huguang dared to issue such an order, transferring a total of several guards to death, and no one dared to take this responsibility; and going to Yuelu Mountain was obviously a temporary decision to mobilize the South Railway Army overnight.
He also ordered the generals in the army to strictly guard all the passes after capturing Yuelu Mountain and be sure to hold Yu Qian, the governor of Huguang. If he cannot be captured, he can be killed.
Zhang Ning also has no personal grudges and hatred for Qian, but on the contrary, he admires him very much, but he must not be merciful when necessary for such a capable person who is against him.
When his father Jianwen and the King of Yàn were fighting, they issued a killing order due to their uncle and nephew's relationship, which gave King of Yàn Zhu Di the chance to survive. This was a huge mistake. Of course, Zhang Ning did not want to follow his father's footsteps and would continue to regret his mistakes in the future.
When the Zhuque Army followed the Xiang River, they saw that the main force of the official army had gone up the mountain.
From the Xiangshui River, you can directly see that several main peaks are full of people with your eyes; the people on the mountain should be close to 20,000, while Yuelu Mountain does not occupy a vast area, so many people are arranged on it, and the troops are quite dense...
That scene reminded Zhang Ning of the scenic spots on May Day and National Day, as if this mountain was originally a scenic spot.
Zhang Ning looked east again and saw the Orange Island in the middle of the river, which is the Orange Island in later generations...
Independent in the cold autumn, the Xiangjiang River goes north and the Orange Island.
Look at the red mountains and the forests are dyed; the green rivers are clear, and hundreds of boats compete for the current.
Eagles strike the sky, fish fall to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost are competing for freedom.
I feel sad and ask the vast earth, who is responsible for the ups and downs...
This poem describes the scenery here!
Zhang Ning, who did not believe in the mysterious world, suddenly felt that the terrain was as beautiful as an emperor.
On the other side of the river, Changsha City has as many as four city towers alone, standing tall and towering in front of you. This city is worthy of being the important city of the Daming Lake and Guang Administration Commission, and its momentum is enough to match its reputation.
In the world, he suddenly came to such a beautiful place. Unfortunately, the time was wrong and Zhang Ning was not in the mood to appreciate it at this time. He only thought about annihilation of the army on the mountain.
If you change your mood later, your feelings must be quite different.
Just then, a quick report came suddenly.
The messenger came from Changde Mansion. Zhang Ning hurriedly opened the paint seal to view it. He saw a seal on the Senate Department, which read: "After the Mahjong newspaper and the Senate Department to restore the information, a large team of horses was found fifty miles north of Lizhou. The official road covered the sky, and the army could not see its tail, and the troops might have more than 10,000 soldiers.
Their goal was to capture and completely defeat the Southern Route Army as soon as possible. This battle obviously did not achieve its goal, but was ambushed, although it was not successful.
