Chapter 965 Advance to Yangzhou

In the busy life, even the efficiency of the model army was still at night and it was not until all aspects of the war were cleaned up.

In this battle, the Model Army did not actually win big, with only a few one or two thousand people, but more than 18,000 prisoners were captured, 70,000 of which were the war soldiers of Guanning and Wuzhenhachao, and nearly half of them were elite soldiers.

In other words, these elite combat soldiers can go directly to the battlefield by changing their clothes and getting weapons.

Due to various reasons, Xu Changqing was not able to suppress their heads for these killed corpses, but instead had to spend some manpower to bury them...

I have to say that this is definitely a weird thing in the war.

But even if these soldiers can be used, Xu Changqing will definitely not be in a hurry to use them in this state.

"Marty, all the disposals have been basically completed and have been booked. In this battle of our model army, two officers above the level of the Thousand General of the Green Flags captured more than 70 people. In addition, seven guerrillas, three gang generals, one deputy general, and one deputy general..."

In the big tent, Huang Shu was carefully reporting more detailed results to Xu Changqing, and had already completely regarded himself as a model army under Xu Changqing's command.

Looking at Huang Shu's excited appearance, the two little mice's eyes were almost shining. Xu Changqing touched the beard on his chin, and his heart was a little mottled for a moment.

To be honest, Xu Changqing really has no good impression of Huang Shu, and he can accurately evaluate it in four words: "Cunning people."

However, even Xu Changqing had to admit that this guy is really capable of doing things.

Since the Model Army was established, Xu Changqing rarely led civil officials in the army, and at most a few small civil servants who were recording and joining the army.

But at this time, with Huang Shu's addition, not only greatly reduced Xu Changqing's labor intensity, but some efficiency was higher than before.

After reporting the results of the battle, Huang Shu said excitedly again: "Marty, according to the news that we did not receive at night, the main force of the Qing army at this time had retreated to the north line of Yangzhou City and was still retreating. As expected, the siege of Yangzhou was halfway through. However, the strategic intention of the Tatars did not completely give up. They probably wanted to let us enter Yangzhou City and thus siege Yangzhou City..."

Xu Changqing nodded slowly, and made a decision in his heart. He smiled and said, "Old Huang, thank you for your hard work today."

Huang Shu couldn't help but feel overjoyed and knelt directly on the ground: "Mr. Marquis, I forgive my official for being stupid and pedantic before. Until today I have only thought through many things. Thanks to the Marquis, I still trust my official. Even if I die, I will not be able to repay my official's kindness. Marquis, don't worry, next, you can see how his official performs..."

At this time, if someone else saw the scene in front of him, his chin would fall to the ground.

Huang Shu, the Minister of War, came on behalf of the court. Even if Xu Changqing was a nobleman and a nobleman in Haicheng, he would be controlled by him in name, but at this time, everything was turned around...

Xu Changqing smiled and waved his hand: "As humans, we can't just look at the past. We still have to look forward. Lao Huang, Xu Changqing, I, is not a saint, and it's not that I'm not confused. In the future, I still need to rely on Lao Huang to help you."

Listening to Xu Changqing's extremely down-to-earth words, Huang Shu felt as comfortable as a bottle of ice falling in the dog days.

This statement made him feel much more at ease than any promise.

Xu Changqing wants to work with him for a long time and really use him.

Huang Shu didn't say anything more, but just kowtowed to Xu Changqing heavily and retreated obediently.

Seeing that Huang Shu was so good, Xu Changqing didn't know anything and directly discussed with him the next plan.

At this time, although the Model Army won the Battle of Qiancun and suddenly had a lot of strong men, breaking the sharpness of the Qing army, the situation was still not too optimistic and the problem was not really solved.

The most core

There are two things in my heart.

First, the model army did not really hit the main force of the Qing army, and the Qing army still had very strong combat power at this time.

The second point is that the Qing army's cavalry was still threatening the rear of the Model Army, and the logistics line of the Model Army for more than 100 miles is still not smooth.

Moreover, with these nearly 20,000 more men, they cannot abuse them too much, but they have no food and grass supplies. The model army's food and grass crisis has begun to expand.

This leads to the fact that although Yangzhou City is near, whether to go or not is the major choice for fate.

After doing the work today, Huang Shu also had some understanding of the system of the Model Army. He also understood the overall trend and frowned and said, "Marty, the following officials are simple and should not move rashly for the time being. We still need to be a little stable. As a wealthy place in the Ming Dynasty, Yangzhou is relatively rich and the food and grass conditions are relatively good, but the officials are a little scared... If so, if the Tartars surrender to some people, it will probably aggravate the evolution of the situation. In addition, the war is very expensive, and our Model Army needs to replenish ammunition as soon as possible to support..."

With his heart open and a future, Huang Shu also tried his best to plan for Xu Changqing and the Model Jun.

This guy has a very sharp mind, has a skilled work experience at all levels, and is also familiar with military affairs. Xu Changqing is really easy to use him at this time.

After listening to his analysis, Xu Changqing nodded slowly, "Old Huang, in your opinion, my model army, how should we crack the supply threat from the Qing army to our army?"

"this……"

Huang Shu frowned, looked at Xu Changqing, then quickly lowered his head and focused his thoughts.

After a while, he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Marquis, this may not be very nice, but as a subordinate, the lower official decided to tell the Marquis."

As he said that, he also let go and said decisively: "Marty, my model army is not incapable of supply at this time, but the cost is quite high. If my model army must replenish supplies, it may be a large army retreat, or the main force of Jiang'an camp will cover and replenish supplies. No matter which one it is, it will be a big deal. Moreover, this will be very unfavorable for our model army to kill and injure the main force of the Qing army in the future. The people around Yangzhou and even the entire Jiangbei region will probably be more poisoned..."

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Old Huang, I am not a person who can't listen to others' words. You don't have to be too nervous. This is also my doubt. But you don't have to make a decision on this matter. You can go down and rest first. Let's discuss it slowly tomorrow."

"Yes, Marquis, you should rest earlier, and the official has surrendered..."

Watching Huang Shu leave, Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly.

By this time, Xu Changqing had basically confirmed that Huang Shu was "a turtle eating weights" and was determined to follow him.

His vision and ability will be great help from himself and the Model Army.

However, if you want to truly solve the problem and break the backbone of the Qing Dynasty, it will take time to prepare for it.

After thinking for a while, Chunni rushed over with a slim fragrance, and pouted in discomfort, saying, "Brother Xu, why have you been with Moji, the surname Huang, for so long? Although he is very respectful to me, I see that he is not like a good person. Don't trust him too much..."

Xu Changqing smiled: "I was fine just now, but why did I change my face in a blink of an eye? Which one has lost his reputation again?"

While talking, Xu Changqing poured Chunni a cup of tea and signaled her to sit beside her.

Chunni sat next to Xu Changqing, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said angrily: "It's nothing. It's just a little aggrieved for Sister Baozhu. The people in Nanjing are so annoying, so we have to sneak in everything we do in the women's camp. Originally, Sister Baozhu wanted to comfort the officers and soldiers tonight, but the people in Nanjing were in chaos and had to wait for tomorrow."

Looking at Chunni's cute little look, Xu Changqing gradually relaxed and said with a smile: "Are we still the army of the Ming Dynasty? Don't let the imperial envoys in the court take a look more and take a walk? What's the reason for this? If you don't have it today, it's tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Okay, don't think too much. Maybe we can go to Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Go to Yangzhou?"

Chunni's eyes suddenly lit up: "Brother Xu, then, isn't it said that we have won?"

...

After chatting with Chunni for more than half an hour, he finally decided on the various temptations of this girl and sent her away. Xu Changqing couldn't help but shake her head and laugh.

This girl looks simple, but she is actually very careful and has no stupidity.

She was already taking advantage of Zhang Baozhu's absence to constantly seduce herself, but in addition, she formed an alliance with Zhang Baozhu.

In a short time, this seems a bit naive, but maybe it won’t take long to get a lot of money for her layout.

But Xu Changqing's thoughts quickly turned back to the war.

Now, it depends on how deep Dorgon and his friends are in this war!

...

Just like the Model Army was unable to break through the cavalry blockade of the Qing army, the Qing army was unable to break through the hot air balloon suppression of the Model Army.

Both sides each have a killer weapon, and they can barely maintain the balance of war.

But at this time, both the Qing army and the Model Army could feel that the model army was obviously more suppressive and ruthless.

Early the next morning, all kinds of latest information were sent back.

The main force of the Qing army had retreated to the Shugangshan area at this time, and the Qing army units on both sides of the east and west sides of Yangzhou also retreated for more than thirty or forty miles.

Although he barely showed an encirclement to Yangzhou, his intention was difficult to understand. Li Jianjian was definitely out of bounds.

Xu Changqing thought about it all night and made a decisive decision. The army stopped moving into Yangzhou directly!

At noon.

The Model Army's night-breaking army had already contacted Yangzhou City several times. Until the banner of the Model Army could be seen faintly on the top of the southern city of Yangzhou City. Shi Kefa came back to his senses and brought Zhou Chang, Shi Dewei and others to welcome the Model Army.

"Marty, like a baby, I hope my parents, I finally waited for reinforcements to come..."

As soon as he saw Xu Changqing, Shi Kefa's cunning could no longer hold on. His eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, bowing deeply to Xu Changqing.

Many of the other accompanying civil servants and generals also burst into tears.

Of course, these people must not be as sincere as Shi Kefa.

Xu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shi Kefa up and said with a smile: "Gei Department, you would be too polite. If the Pavilion Department had not defended Yangzhou, Changqing and others would not have this belief to support it."

The two hugged each other heavily, and Shi Kefa hurriedly wiped away his tears and began to carefully exchange information about Yangzhou with Xu Changqing.

The followers on both sides are busy and keep up quickly.

The men under Shi Kefa soon found out that the Model Army had won two consecutive victories, and were so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

This is the biggest embarrassment of the traditional Ming army,—the information is not smooth, and it is extremely difficult!

But after thinking about it, I felt relieved.

Even the Model Army is as powerful as the model army, which is firmly suppressed by the cavalry of the Qing army, let alone the traditional Ming army?

Once war begins, they will often fall into a deaf and blind state at the first time. If the Qing army had not deliberately let the water go, there would not be much information even a chance to come out.

On this side, Xu Changqing and Shi Kefa did not first communicate with the war, but mainly inquired about the material storage situation in Yangzhou City of Shi Kefa.
