As soon as Kangxi's question came out, Zhuo Butai, the first-class super warrior, complained in his heart.
Not to mention his old man, even his good brother Obai, who had Emperor Kangxi killed, couldn't answer this question!
Moreover, if the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty now set up this long snake formation along the Yangtze River and Han River, you would feel your scalp numb if you let Nurhachi emerge from the Fengtian Fuling Tomb to take over!
Not to mention the tens of thousands of people commanded by Yue Le in Jiangning...those people can't come to the Huguang and Jiangxi battlefields at all.
Let's talk about the Qing troops in Huguang and Jiangxi. Although they are very large in number, they have not yet been fully deployed. They are scattered over a very broad battlefield, and they are still a bit messy. They need to make a series of adjustments before they can get into position.
The current deployment of the Qing army on the battlefields of Huguang and Jiangxi is roughly as follows: there are more than 70,000 and nearly 80,000 people in Xiangyang - 40,000 of these people are the coated slave army who just arrived with Kangxi, and the remaining 30,000 Many of them are Eight Banners soldiers and Green Camp soldiers affiliated with Leerjin, and the Green Camp soldiers among them have also been "slaves".
This part of the army is of course the main force of the Qing army in the Huguang and Jiangxi battlefields, but they are far away from the front line and are still on the edge of the Huguang and Jiangxi battlefields. They are three hundred miles away from the Jingmen Dangyang battlefield, let alone other places.
There are 30,000 people in Jingmen, commanded by Duduo's son Baile Dong'e, who is also a combination of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers and the "minions transformed into green soldiers".
Anlu, plus part of Hanyang along the Han River, has a population of 30,000 people. This part of the Qing soldiers was led by Duduo's grandson, Prince Eza of Xin County, and they were also soldiers of the Eight Banners heavenly soldiers plus minions transformed into green soldiers.
The area near Hanyang near the Yangtze River, including Wuchang, has 40,000 people, commanded by generals such as Tu Hai, Shi Lang, and Ma Xiong who were defeated on the Guangdong battlefield, and 20,000 of them are navy troops. The remaining 20,000 army troops are also Eight Banners soldiers plus slaves and green battalion soldiers.
There are 20,000 soldiers in the Jieshu Department in the north of Jiangxi Province, guarding the large areas of Jiujiang, Nanchang, Yuanzhou, and Ji'an. Of course, the troops are composed of natural soldiers plus slave-like cannon fodder soldiers.
There are more than 10,000 Liu Jinzhong's men in the south of Jiangxi. These are all green soldiers, who have not been "slavishly adapted", and are the basis of the Yongwei camp of the Ming Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty cannot count on them.
There are 30,000 to 40,000 men under Geng Jingzhong in Guangxin Prefecture in eastern Jiangxi Province. Although they are all servile Green Camp soldiers and Geng family slave soldiers, Geng Jingzhong, the coach, has been "mad king". No one knows what will happen. ?
There are just such an army of 230,000 to 40,000 people, which is obviously a lot, but they just can't exert their strength... When Geng Jingzhong "went crazy", the whole thing was a bit chaotic.
Wu Sangui took this opportunity to send troops. He must have colluded with Geng Jingzhong, the "mad king", and was preparing to defeat the Qing soldiers in Huguang with a series of heavy blows.
Therefore...it is impossible for Wu Sangui to divide his troops!
"Your Majesty," Zhuo Butai said with a frown, "if we divide our troops, we will be weak! Although we have many troops now, we have not been able to complete the reunification; and secondly, Geng Jingzhong made such a fuss... it is a bit chaotic!
For Wu Sangui, this was simply a God-given opportunity! The slave asserted that with Wu Sangui's ability in fighting, he would definitely gather troops and go all out. He was probably connected with Geng Jingzhong, so he must have gathered his troops first. As for the target of Wu Sangui's troops... The slave was talking about big targets, which should be Wuchang Fucheng, Hanyang Fucheng or Xiangyang Fucheng!
Wu Sangui will not divide his troops, and will definitely concentrate his main force to attack one of the three major targets... Therefore, at least one of the two bandit armies attacking Dangyang and Qianjiang are empty troops, and it is possible that they are all empty troops. ! "
Dangyang is the gateway to the waterway west of Jingmen. Troops sent from Jingzhou can reach Dangyang County via Zhangshui and Jushui. From the bank of Zhangshui River to Jingmen Prefecture City, there is only a mere fifty miles away. If Wu Sangui wanted to attack Jingmen Prefecture, he would have to carry heavy artillery and a lot of baggage, so taking Zhangshui and Jushui to Dangyang first would save a lot of energy.
And Jingmen is the gateway to Xiangyang. After conquering Jingmen Prefecture, of course we have to conquer Xiangyang again!
Qianjiang is not really the gateway to Hanyang, but it can temporarily block the traffic between Hanyang and Xiangyang. Moreover, after Wu Sangui captured Qianjiang, while the main force marched into Hanyang Fucheng along the west bank of the Han River, he could divide his troops to cross the Han River and advance to Hankou Town along the east bank of the Han River.
In addition, it is also possible that Wu Sangui neither attacked Hanyang nor Xiangyang, but first secretly mobilized the main force to Yuezhou, and then advanced from the south bank of the Yangtze River to attack Wuchang Fucheng.
In short... the choice of where to hit rests with Wu Sangui, and Kangxi can only wait to be beaten now!
"Xiangyang Fucheng?" Emperor Kangxi discovered a terrible thing from Zhuo Butai's analysis. "Is it possible that Wu Sangui would let Hanyang and Wuchang go and attack Xiangyang? Is Xiangyang that important?"
"It's very possible! Although Xiangyang City is not that important, but..." Zhuo Butai glanced at Emperor Kangxi and said nothing.
There is Emperor Kangxi in Xiangyang Prefecture!
Wu Sangui not only beat Kangxi to death or captured him, but also drove him away from Xiangyang Mansion. It was also a decisive victory...it could even be said to be the beginning of the demise of the Qing Dynasty!
Because once Kangxi ran away, the myth that the Eight Banners were invincible was completely shattered.
And the whole world will know that the Manchu emperor is afraid of Wu Sangui. If Kangxi was afraid of Wu Sangui, shouldn't it be right for other Qing soldiers on the battlefields in Huguang and Jiangxi to be afraid of Wu Sangui?
Then why fight? It's important to escape!
"There are 10,000 troops from Wang Fuchen in Hanyang and Wuchang rushing to the rescue. It should be no big deal." Kangxi had already made a decision, "Ezha, you return to Anlu Fucheng immediately and mobilize troops to rush to Qianjiang... Even if you can't hold it, , and must be delayed until Wang Fuchen arrives in Hanyang and Wuchang!"
"嗻!" Eza immediately knelt down to accept the order.
Kangxi then said: "Dong E!"
"The slave is here!"
Dong E also knelt down.
"Go to Jingmen immediately!" Kangxi said, "Then send troops to help Dangyang... If Wu Sangui's main force arrives in Dangyang, you can set up a formation at Xianglu Mountain in Dangyang County to block Wu Ni's eastward advance. . If Xianglu Mountain cannot be defended, then Jingmen Prefecture must not lose it!"
"嗻!" Dong E responded loudly.
"Zhuobutai, Leerjin!"
"The slave is here!"
"The slave is here!"
Zhuoertai and Leerjin both responded.
"There are more than 70,000 people here in Xiangyang," Kangxi said. "Ten thousand of them will follow Wang Fuchen to Hanyang and Wuchang. There are still more than 60,000 people left. I will leave 10,000 people behind, led by Mingzhu to defend Xiangyang.
Everyone else will follow you two...go to Jingmen Fucheng first, and then decide whether to go to Dangyang or Qianjiang depending on the situation. "
"Hey!" Lerjin said loudly, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. No matter whether Wu Sangui's main force is attacking Qianjiang or Dangyang, my servants can work with Chao Wu Gong to kill him for you."
As he spoke, he suddenly paused again, "Your Majesty, if Wu Sangui's main force neither attacks Dangyang nor Qianjiang, what will the slave do? Should he lead his troops back to Xiangyang?"
After hearing this, Kangxi suddenly had the urge to masturbate this Leerjin to the end.
"Your Majesty," Zhuo Butai said, "if Wu Sangui's two groups are empty troops, then we will attack Jingzhou City and force Wu Sangui to return reinforcements from Wuchang. If Wuchang is not protected, we can win the battle as long as we capture Jingzhou City." Return to the game."
"Oh," Leerjin nodded and said to Kangxi, "please rest assured, Your Majesty, my servants and Chao Wu Gong will definitely complete your errands for you!"
Emperor Kangxi nodded approvingly, but he didn't feel confident at all!
Because he has found that he has divided his troops very badly... Even if we don't count the more than 40,000 troops of Geng Jingzhong and Liu Jinzhong, he has nearly 200,000 troops on the battlefields of Huguang and Jiangxi. Together, they can defeat Wu Sangui. Press and hit. But now these armies have been split into countless roads in use, and Wu Sangui is likely to concentrate the main force on one road and defeat them one by one!
Why is this situation so familiar?
Thinking of this, Emperor Kangxi gritted his teeth again and said loudly: "Even if Wu Sangui concentrates his troops, even if I divide my troops... we will definitely win this battle, because I have more than 200,000 troops, and Wu Sangui only has 100,000. Dong E , Ezha, even if you meet Wu Sangui's main force, don't panic, as long as you drag them and hold on for a few days, you will win a great victory. At that time, I will make you hereditary and irreplaceable iron princes!"
