Chongzhen Undergraduates

"Yes, there is still a chance." While everyone was looking at Li Dingguo, Li Yan affirmed Li Dingguo's words.

Li Dingguo looked at Li Yan with admiration in admiration. For the first time, this quiet young man felt that he was not alone.

"My idea has not yet been formed, but I think it has been nine days since Hauge's troops left Yangzhou, and we can start from this aspect."

After listening to Li Yan, Li Dingguo smiled knowingly and then nodded. Li Yan thought that he had guessed right.

"Lack of food?" Zuo Maodi asked.

"Yes. Haoge should be seriously short of food. Jin Bing's grain and grass are originally transported once every five days. It is impossible for Haoge to carry too much food and grass when he retreats north.

Now the north of Huainan is full of yellow flood areas, and the south of Huainan is under our control. For three full days, not a single grain of food went south.Hauge was delayed in Lai'an for another three days, and all the people around there withdrew, and they could not be robbed. "Li Yan said in more detail.

"But, what does this have to do with our predicament?" Zuo Maodi was puzzled, and the actual problem was not solved after talking so much.

"Give Dingyuan to Hauge." Li Dingguo said.

"Aren't we about to be attacked?" Huang Zongyi asked.

"Now wandering south of Dingyuan is not only Hauge's army, but also Kong Youde's Tianzhu Army and the [-] Han troops sent by Nikan to meet Hauge.

None of these troops carried food or grass, or they were all short of food like Hauge.Adding these three groups together, there are nearly 50 people.If our main force can't reach the battlefield, we won't be able to eat so many golden soldiers.

Rather than letting the Black Banner Army resist the two-sided attack of these people, it is better to let them all gather in Dingyuan... It will take two days at the fastest to travel from Cong'an to Dingyuan and then to Huainan. "Li Dingguo made a long speech in one breath.

"What about the Azig Department in the north?" Zhu Youjian asked worriedly.The Hauge Division is only a matter of direction. If it is only the Hauge Division, space can be exchanged for time.But Azig in the north is already approaching.

"Force Azig to retreat." Li Dingguo said in astonishment.

"What? How is this possible. Azig came south to meet Hauge, how could he retreat." Huang Zongyi felt that Li Dingguo was telling a story from the Arabian Nights.

"I have done statistics, and now our army still has 1 rockets. There are [-] people who know how to launch rockets and can go to the battlefield at any time..."

Before Li Dingguo finished speaking, Hao Yaoqi snatched up and said, "How can there be so many? My Eighth Army has been fighting for a day, and the casualties are not small."

"I also counted the technicians in the militia." Li Dingguo said calmly: "I have counted all the people who know how to launch.

Not only the personnel of your Eighth Army who can continue to fight, but also all the personnel and combat materials in the militia that can fight. I have just heard the logistics report.

I originally planned to throw the defenders in Dingyuan to Hauge, but I was worried that the food they left in Dingyuan would help the Jinbing to tide over the difficulties.Now that General Li Yan has helped solve the problem of the Dingyuan garrison, I have no more worries..."

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed.This is the real general.

There is a legend in later generations that a certain general commanding a large army can calculate the position of each machine gun in each squad.

Zhu Youjian doesn’t know if this story is true or not, but a qualified commander should at least not be Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. According to mythology, every time a general fights, he always brings a trick in his pocket. bag.

Nor is it written in the time-traveling novels of later generations, after undergoing grassroots military training in later generations, and then becoming an ancient general as soon as he appeared on the stage.

According to Zhu Youjian, the generals and commanders are rare species in any era, and he is definitely not cultivated with a little so-called modern education.What this species inherently needs is talent.

A person who can clearly know all the manpower and materials in his hands, and accurately use each person and thing to the extreme, is a qualified commander.

When Zhu Youjian was thinking about his thoughts, Li Dingguo continued: "Azig suffered a lot from our army in Sichuan, so he didn't dare to go south at a high speed and dragged it until now..."

……

Li Nian's arm was sore and sore, he didn't even know how many grenades he had thrown.

The Jin soldiers attacked too fiercely, and the Black Banner Army had already lost [-]% of the troops in three days, not counting the injured ones.If it weren't for the fact that the Black Banner Army is the emperor's direct descendant, it might have collapsed long ago.

And these [-]% of the troops were all folded on the three main roads going north.Even with such a large battle loss, the Jin soldiers still did not break through the defense line of the Black Banner Army.The current Black Banner Army has already retreated to the fifth line of defense, and if they retreat further, they will soon retreat from the hills.

But Li Nian was very surprised that this hilly area was not steep, but the Jin Bing had been fighting the Black Banner Army to death, and he had no intention of going around at all. He had never seen such a stubborn general.

However, such a battle situation also means that the Black Banner Army will successfully complete the blocking mission.

Hauge and Doduo were already in a hurry. It was not that they didn't send people to find another way out, but none of the scouts they sent came back without exception.In the end, even a small group of thousands of people was sent directly to explore the road, but it was still difficult to move an inch on this hill.

Hauge even suspected that the main force of the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops gathered around here. He believed that the Ming army was going to fight them here.

However, the subordinates sent out soon came back to report that they never encountered the attack of the main force of the Ming army, but were delayed by various traps and roadblocks.

"What kind of trap can actually block the attack of the regular army?" Duoduo didn't believe it at all.

"My lord, there are too many traps. Our horse just got around a big hole and got into the horse trap next to it.

Those mountain roads are full of bamboo sticks, and there are as many roadblocks as if they had grown their own forests.There is no complete section of the road, and the fields are full of various deep and shallow pits, it is really impossible to walk. "

"Then let's go a little further?"

"It's like this all over a radius of tens of miles. The people we sent out to explore the road didn't catch them at night, and they died everywhere. I don't know how many people from the Ming army are in this area, but we didn't see a single person. "

Duduo couldn't imagine that the population density in the Central Plains could not be compared with his people in the Eight Banners.The so-called vast ocean of the people's war describes this kind of mobilization force.

Li Nian gave the deposit and the purchase price. These ordinary people are really crazy.There is no need to go directly to the front line to work hard, and no one will be lazy if they can make a fortune with a little effort.

These young men must have put all their energy into their lives, not to mention digging a few holes, they are willing to dig a mountain.This is not digging a pit, it is directly digging for money.

"Then pull them back," Dodo said.

"Master, there are 2 people who cannot withdraw."

"why?"

"They entered the mountain at night. After dawn in the morning, they found that they were stuck in the valley and couldn't get out. They even signaled for us to send someone to rescue them."

"Bastards, let them die there." Duoduo was furious.

"That bastard Nikan, it's been three days, why hasn't he come to pick us up?" Hauge was furious, he has never had a good temper.

Hauge's scolding reminded Doduo that Nikan's troops are supposed to be the most powerful, so they won't follow the way of the Ming army, right?

"Master, report ahead, the Ming army has retreated." A guard ran into the tent, rolled up his sleeves and knelt to report.

"Retreat?" Hauge felt that happiness came too suddenly.

"Back to the master, not only has the Bright Army withdrew, Dingyuan City has also sent reinforcements to pick us up."

"Great, now our crisis is finally over. Order the whole army to move out quickly, and we must go to Dingyuan to have a full meal before dawn. Our army has been out of food for a day."

Chapter 4 and Six: All Trees and Trees Are Soldiers

Azig's journey to the south was the shortest, and he had the most time, but his marching speed was the slowest.

In fact, Azig cannot be entirely blamed, because according to Dorgon's order, although his mission is to go south to meet him, the departure time itself will be a few days later.

Jin Bing's whole plan was to ensure the safety of Fuyang to Huainan from Azig's department, so naturally he couldn't go so fast.
