Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Xiao Yungui scolded his mother, he saw Zeng Shuiyuan and Tong Qiangsheng lowering their heads with very frightened expressions. Then he let out a sigh and sat back down in frustration, looking at the map in a daze. The situation at this time was different from that in history.  It's completely different. Xiao Yungui has no direct reference to historical facts. How should he fight the next battle?

    There are many battles in Xiao Chaogui's memory, but they all followed the brigade. Now there are Qing troops surrounding them from all directions, which seems to be very difficult.  Xiao Yungui himself lived in a peaceful era in his previous life and had never systematically studied war. His father was a nouveau riche businessman. Xiao Yungui had some experience in how to make money, but fighting this war was too difficult.

    At best, he has played Red Alert, Empire, StarCraft, etc. These so-called war games are to occupy resources, build barracks, then explode troops and push them directly (this is Xiao Yungui's own gameplay, please don't criticize old players)  , now that Xiao Yungui has occupied Changsha, he has a lot of resources, but he has no time to send troops.  Now there is the Queen of the West, Hong Xuanjiao, and the Nv Ying and Tong Ying to get in the way. In Xiao Chaogui's memory, this woman is quite beautiful, but can Xiao Yungui dedicate his troops to go south to respond?

    Zeng Shuiyuan stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness the King of the West, the Queen of the West went north to rescue us first according to the orders of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, so she has to save her."

    Xiao Yungui said angrily and restlessly: "Then do you know where they are now? Where should we meet them?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan was speechless again by this question. Xiao Yungui looked at the map, took out the dry tobacco bag and slowly filled it with shredded tobacco. His heart slowly calmed down again. Since Hong Xuanjiao was ordered to come here, it was considered a historical arrangement, and  With Changsha City attracting the attention of the Qing army, their more than a thousand women and children should not be in any danger for the time being. The top priority is to think about how to deal with the Qing army's encirclement of Changsha City.

    After clearing his mind, Xiao Yungui muttered: "Calling the generals over to discuss military affairs immediately!" At this time, it was better to listen to everyone's opinions. Xiao Yungui thought that he had many famous generals in the Kingdom of Heaven, and it was impossible that he could not even discuss a solution.  Come out.

    After Tong Qiangsheng turned around and went out to deliver the order, Xiao Yungui looked at Zeng Shuiyuan and said in a deep voice: "The news of the approaching Qing army must be temporarily blocked. Later, you will immediately lead troops to collect the money and food donated by the wealthy businessmen. Except for Zhu Changlin and the others,  Apart from the four families, each of the other wealthy merchants' donations must not be less than the amount they donated to Qingyao. The account books are here. Anyway, they can't get enough rice to fill the chess grid. They can dig as much as they can.  Come out, I want to see the first batch of money and grain entering the warehouse by evening." Zeng Shuiyuan also knew that once the Qing army approached, these wealthy businessmen would become emboldened and refuse to accept donations. By then, it would be impossible for the Taiping Army to separate  Those who sent troops to deal with these people quickly clasped their fists and took orders.

    During a cup of tea, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Li Yiwen, Lin Qirong, Ji Wenyuan, Zhu Xineng, He Bin, Zhou Zhaoyao, Tong Qiangsheng, Li Zuoche, Tang Erniu and other generals arrived one after another. Xiao Yungui was still very satisfied with everyone's efficiency and was able to  It is indeed very fast to come from all directions in Changsha City during a cup of tea.

    After all the generals arrived, Xiao Yungui asked General Tong Qiangsheng to give a general summary of the news he had found out. He then stood up and said, "Now that the Qing demons are coming from all directions, we don't have many troops. How should we deal with them?"

    Lin Fengxiang stood up and clasped his fists and said: "The clear monsters are coming from all directions. We can just hold on to the fortified city. Changsha City's defenses have been strengthened in recent days, and there are plenty of cannons, firearms, and red powder. The clear monsters are not good at attacking, and the Qing monsters in front of us have only one force on all sides."  There are more than 10,000 people, and they didn¡¯t arrive together. I thought we could defend Changsha and wait for the Chenzhou Brigade to come for reinforcements.¡±

    Li Kaifang also nodded and said: "We still have a few days to make arrangements calmly. We can rely on the city walls to set up forts on the high ground outside the city, such as Cai Gong's Tomb, Aoshan Temple, etc., echoing the city head, to resist the enemy's demons, and we can also burn down the outside of the city.  Houses close to the city walls can be used as strongholds to prevent the Qing demons from approaching the city. Firearms and cannons can be placed in the forts outside the city. The Qing demons will not dare to attack, and will only set up camps from a distance to maintain a stalemate like Yong'an, Daozhou, and Chenzhou.  , we can calmly wait for the Chenzhou reinforcements to arrive to relieve the siege. I heard that the King of the West asked the rich squire in the city to donate a batch of money and food today, which is enough for our army, and Changsha can be defended for a long time."

    Xiao Yungui understood what Generals Lin and Li meant, which was to guard the city and wait for reinforcements.  Think about it, in wars from ancient times to the present, the defender has had a certain advantage over the attacker, not to mention that now is an era when hot and cold weapons are used together in battle. There are solid walls and fortresses, supplemented by cannons and firearms.  The defender is more able to respond to the attack with ease.  In the historical Battle of Changsha, after Xiao Chaogui died in battle, less than 4,000 people including Zeng Shuiyuan, Lin Fengxiang and others occupied Miaofeng Peak and defended it. After the Qing army arrived, tens of thousands of people attacked for days but failed to capture Miaofeng Peak.  It was defended by the Taiping Army until Chenzhou reinforcements arrived, which shows that the Qing army's ability to attack critical areas is really not that good.

    Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment, defending the city was indeed a way, but when he looked sideways at Lin Qirong, he suddenly felt that this was a little bitinappropriate.  He remembered Lin Qirong's stubborn defense of Jiujiang. If the Qing army was allowed to calmly set up camps and build trenches outside Changsha City, and surrounded Changsha City, the Taiping Army in the city would come out, and it seemed that the Taiping Army would attack the Qing Army.  Fortify the fortress. If the Chenzhou reinforcements cannot break through the Qing defense line outside the city, Changsha City will become Jiujiang City.

    ¡°Damn it, I don¡¯t want to die trapped in the city,¡± Xiao Yungui cursed to himself, frowning and looking at the map without saying a word.

    Seeing that Xiao Yungui did not comment, Li Yiwen stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness the King of the West, my subordinates thought that the clear monsters came from many directions and did not belong to each other. They should be able to defeat them one by one. As long as we kill one or two of them, we can defeat them one by one."  Demon, the other pure demons will definitely stop moving forward if they are afraid." Xiao Yungui's eyes lit up, this Li Yiwen was really a general, but how could he not have heard of his name?

    Lin Qirong also said: "That's right. The city of Changsha is so vast that we have more than 4,000 troops deployed across the city. Each of us has to guard the city wall three strides wide. We also have to divide our troops out of the city to build forts. Our troops are really thin and Qing Dynasty is very weak."  If the demon gathers troops to attack my place, it is inevitable that he will focus on one thing and lose the other. Even if we rush the young people in the city to go to the city to help defend it, it is not appropriate. It has only been three days since we entered the city, and the people in the city have not yet united with me. If  The wavering in front of the formation is extremely disadvantageous to me. Moreover, if Qingyao is allowed to calmly set up a camp outside the city, even if the Chenzhou brigade reaches the city, they will suffer heavy casualties if they want to break through the Qingyao camp and enter the city. Therefore, my subordinates also agree to go out of the city to meet the enemy.  Defeat one or two of the clear demons before they form a camp, and the rest of the clear demons will surely become discouraged and stop moving forward."

    Xiao Yungui secretly praised Lin Qirong for his thoughtful thinking and that he was worthy of being a famous general who was good at defense. He then said slowly: "I also feel that I cannot defend the city now. Once the Qing demon calmly surrounds me, it will be extremely difficult to break out. I, the king, also feel that it is impossible to defend the city.  Let¡¯s make a strategy now. We are going out of the city to fight against the Qingyao. We don¡¯t have to discuss whether to fight or defend. We can just discuss how to go out to fight.¡± Xiao Yungui didn¡¯t want to waste time talking about the pros and cons of fighting and defending, so he decided on the tone.  We want to go to war so that our subordinates will have a clear direction to discuss.

    Li Kaifang stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Since the King of the West wants to go to war, I think we should attack the Baoqibao tribe of Qingyao in the north first!"

    Xiao Yungui was stunned when he heard this. Bao Qibao's Qing army originally had more than 3,000 defeated soldiers in Changsha. Adding in the 3,000 reinforcements from Hubei, there were more than 6,000 people in total. It was the largest number of soldiers and horses among the enemies from all directions.  Along the way, why did Li Kaifang suggest attacking Bao Qibao first?
