Chapter 839 The Actions of Two People
Li Hualong's strategy is like this.

The first is to send an order to the supporting force taken away by Deputy General Chai Guozhu, telling him to turn around and go to Wuchang immediately.

Then gather all the guard soldiers that he can recruit, and lead them with some elite troops to strengthen his military power.

Then the troops were divided into two groups, one to contain the rebel navy here, and the other to go west along the river, rushing to Wuchang before Xiao Ruxun, defending Wuchang, and buying some time.

What he lacks most now is time.

A large-scale army is useless to the navy, but at least he can buy some time in Wuchang. As long as he can buy time for him to launch an attack with a decent fleet, then there is a way.

The night is a good opportunity to break through. The vision of the navy at night is not good, so it is most suitable for playing night attack on the water. As long as the advantages of the navy can be weakened to the greatest extent, there is a chance to defeat the navy. If you can defeat this navy, Then everything will be solved.

Li Hualong quickly called all his subordinates in Yangzhou Mansion, and then held a brief meeting to pass on the information and his own spirit.

He ignored the shock in everyone's eyes.

"Therefore, the current situation is broken by two points. One is to send troops to Wuchang, and the other is to defeat the navy. If these two things are completed, the overall situation will still have a chance to be restored. If it cannot be completed, then everyone, including this governor, will , will inevitably die!"

Li Hualong looked at his subordinates seriously.

"Master, Xiao thief, has he really... invaded Huguang?"

The magistrate of Yangzhou was full of disbelief: "How could he do such a thing with a mere army? Even with the support of the rebels, it wouldn't be so fast, right? The army started in July, and half of the south of the Yangtze River has been swept by now?"

"Yeah, is the information wrong? Is there no army in the entire Jiangnan that can fight Xiao thief?"

"Is the information going to be wrong?"

Deployers have expressed doubts about this.

Li Hualong patted the table.

"The Xiao thief is almost in front of you, why do you have any doubts? Don't forget! Before the Xiao thief rebelled, he was the No.1 general of the Ming Dynasty! The Battle of Ningxia, the Battle of North Korea, the Battle of Dongwu, and the Battle of Datong were not small. Victory?
He not only knows how to fight, but also leads troops to train soldiers, and can control people!He is not a simple general, he is a handsome talent!Are there any other generals in Jiangnan who can compare with him?Otherwise, how could the governor be so embarrassed? "

Li Hualong was very dissatisfied with the deployment team's thinking of underestimating the enemy. They are still dreaming unrealistic dreams at this time, it is extremely stupid!
The deployers dared not speak one by one.

Chai Guozhu and other generals just looked at their eyes without looking sideways, and they didn't say a word, and they didn't even dare to move.

"All in all, this information is to be sent to the imperial court, and reinforcements are definitely needed, but before the imperial reinforcements arrive, it seems that we cannot support two battlefields at the same time with our current strength. Therefore, the governor will order the mobilization of the entire Henan and Nanzhi's guard troops came to Yangzhou to support."

The officials looked at each other.

Is Li Hualong crazy?
Guards?
Is it still usable?

I'm afraid I can't even hold a gun or a knife, let alone fight a war!

Even if nothing else is mentioned, there is a big problem with the number of people. The more peaceful the local guards are, the worse the number of soldiers is. Not to mention the lack of numbers, they can't fight at all. Basically, they are similar to a farmer. Bearing the name of a military household has no effect at all.

This is honest, most of them are soldiers who are the most desperate. They can't do anything else in war, and they escape to the extreme. At that time, Qi Jiguang, the most skilled general in Ming Dynasty, was almost killed by the soldiers of the guards. In the end, he had to give up the guards and recruit new troops. It is conceivable how useless these guys are.

Li Hualong actually thought of using this kind of guard soldiers who were mixed with miscellaneous labor and soldiers?

Chai Guozhu really wanted to say something, but he still held back.

The magistrate of Yangzhou couldn't hold back, and wanted to say something.

"Supervisor, I know that the supervisor is eager to defeat the enemy, but these guards are really useless!"

The Yangzhou Tongzhi also quickly echoed: "Yes, the supervisor, these guards can't fight at all, they can run faster than the enemy on the battlefield, they will collapse at the first touch, they can't be used at all, and they will even affect the main force. Calling these people is not recommended."

Li Hualong shook his head.

"Apart from these people, does Bendu have any other options? Do you want to wait for Xiao thief to fight to Nanjing to join the navy? At that time, it will be too late to say anything! Even if they can't fight, they will be dispersed and incorporated into a strong army." In the middle, you can do something if you are engulfed! What is the state of the guards? This governor knows better than you!"

Li Hualong once again insisted on his opinion and rejected all other opinions.

The subordinates look at me and I look at you. I know that Li Hualong's decision cannot be changed, so I simply said nothing and just waited for Li Hualong's decision.

I don't know if the strong army is engulfing the guards to fight or the guards are engulfing the strong army to escape...

Chai Guozhu was secretly surprised.

In two months, Xiao Ruxun has made such rapid progress. In just how long, he has swept half of Jiangnan, maintaining a strong offensive, and the entire Jiangnan has no resistance at all!

Now Li Hualong is determined to use his army here to fight the Zhennan army to the death, even at the cost of his life, Chai Guozhu.

But how could Chai Guozhu willingly put his life on the line?
After thinking about it, Chai Guozhu felt that he could not continue to be silent and honest, and he had to do something to save the current dead situation, otherwise when he was forced to attack, it would be his own death.

He can't swim.

In the past few days, Li Hualong forced soldiers who had never fought in water battles to take a boat training in the canal. Chai Guozhu really wanted to vomit but didn't dare to vomit.

What kind of water battle are the northerners fighting!

Li Hualong made up his mind to force him to his death, in the euphemistic name of putting him to death and reviving him. Chai Guozhu could only complain and resent him.

He felt that he absolutely couldn't die for such a stupid thing. Anyway, he still had some friendship with Xiao Ruxun. He had fought side by side before, and it was the relationship between an old superior and an old subordinate. Now Xiao Ruxun is progressing like a raging fire. If his side can make the icing on the cake, Not necessarily a beautiful thing.

How Li Hualong treats generals like him, he has seen through and had enough, he simply doesn't treat him as a human being, and doesn't discuss anything with him.

Rather than being a dog here, it is better to go to the opposite side to be a dignified person. Anyway, it is the Ming Dynasty, so it doesn't matter.

Li Hualong didn't know what kind of emotional change had taken place in Chai Guozhu's heart, he only knew that he had to speed up and prepare for action.

So just two hours after receiving the information, Li Hualong's governor's orders scattered from the city of Yangzhou, and orders to dispatch troops and generals moved rapidly to various places.

While Li Hualong was acting, Chai Guozhu was also quietly acting. After all, the army that had been in operation for so many years could not be subdued by Li Hualong with a single order and a bunch of ruthless moves.

They can clearly distinguish who treats them well and who treats them badly.

The situation is subtly changing.
