The Great Western Army in Chengdu received bad news.
The Qing army arrived thirty miles away from Chengdu before Zhang Dingguo returned for reinforcements, and might launch a fierce attack on Chengdu at any time.
Zhang Kewang had a headache.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
The Qing army occupied Weicheng and blocked the official road.
Zhang Dingguo could not take Weicheng and had to choose to go around.
Taking the small mountain road is definitely not as fast as taking the official road.
Unknowingly, the Qing army had already taken the lead.
As the current Emperor of Daxi, Zhang Kewang had to face such difficulties as soon as he came to power.
It was a headache.
And there is no room for any mistakes.
One mistake may ruin the entire situation.
On the one hand, Zhang Kewang summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures.
On the other hand, he sent out sentries to investigate the Qing army's movements.
His overall strategy was to delay.
As long as Zhang Dingguo's army returned for reinforcements, his chances of winning would be much higher.
Since we want to delay, of course we cannot blindly retreat to Chengdu.
We must rely on the peripheral defense lines to slow down the Qing army's advance.
Zhang Kewang had already made corresponding arrangements before, and now it was just a matter of discussing some details.
There are still many forts near Chengdu.
Zhang Kewang believes that it is impossible for the Qing army to remove all these forts without seven or eight days.
Zhang Kewang carried out an exciting mobilization, hoping to inspire the bloody spirit of the soldiers.
"Everyone, I have finished what I have to say.
The next step is up to you.
No matter what, I will never give up Chengdu.
I hope you will work together with me to kill the Tartars and solidify Shu."
"Kill the Tartars and consolidate Shu" "Kill the Tartars and consolidate Shu" "Kill the Tartars and consolidate Shu" Everyone responded in unison.
In the Qing army camp, Bolo sat in the middle, with Hong Chengchou and Tong Yanghe on his left and right.
After these days of training, Bolo has lost his youthfulness and become more and more aura of a superior.
He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Chengdu is right in front of us.
Benbeile has the order of the regent and does not dare to be careless.
He must defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
Everyone, please tell me how to break the situation now."
There were only two or three people who could speak in front of Bolo.
As the governor appointed by the Qing court and the popular figure in front of the regent Dorgon, Hong Chengchou was the first to speak out.
"Master Beile, in my humble opinion, you should not be too hasty in attacking Chengdu.
You need to remove the fortresses around it first and then besiege it."
Although Hong Chengchou mastered the coffin bombing tactic, he only used it once when attacking Baoning.
It is not yet known whether it will be effective when attacking a strong city like Chengdu.
Under such circumstances, if we rashly go deep into the city alone, we will not be able to defeat Chengdu for a while and will be attacked from both sides by the Western Army, which will be really embarrassing.
And if the fortresses around Chengdu are removed first, even if Chengdu cannot be captured for a while, they can still choose to retreat without being blocked by the Western Army.
Bolo pondered for a moment and sighed: "Why don't Benbeile want to do what Mr.
Hong just said?
It's just that Benbeile is also in trouble.
Zhang Dingguo will definitely come back to help.

Wouldn't it be more difficult for us when he returns to Chengdu?
When we attacked Wei City, Ben Beile wanted to surrender him, but he was stubborn and it seemed that he would not be able to be used by me.
He is quite capable, and I'm afraid it would be detrimental to our army if we held him back."
What Bolo said can be summed up in one sentence, that is, he is useless with Zhang Dingguo.
It's best to capture Chengdu before Zhang Dingguo returns for reinforcements, otherwise we may have long nights and many dreams.
How could Hong Chengchou not know this?
The only fight he had with Zhang Dingguo made him realize that this young man was very good at fighting and would definitely not be a player in the pool in the future.
However, this guy refused to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, which was of course a serious problem for the Qing army.
"Master Baylor, although Zhang Dingguo is very good at fighting, his absolute strength is definitely inferior to our Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
When the two sides start a duel, he has no chance of winning."
In order to get Bolo to adopt his suggestion, Hong Chengchou had to give Bolo reassurance.
"Zhang Dingguo traveled a long distance and his soldiers must have been very tired.
In this case, fighting in the field is courting death."
Bolo was silent for a moment.
Of course he knew that the Eight Banners cavalry was invincible, but such a cavalry was selected from thousands of people and went through countless battles.
Although Bolo held such a trump card in his hand, he was a little afraid to use it.
If the Eight Banners cavalry really suffered heavy losses, he would have no way to explain to Dorgon.
Therefore, this Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry is more like a deterrent.
Many opponents immediately knelt down and surrendered when they saw the menacing Eight Banners Army.
But it would be troublesome if you meet someone like Zhang Dingguo who is not afraid of death.
I really can’t bear to fight it, but I can’t take it off if I don’t fight it.
Bolo is so worried.
Tong Yanghe on the side seemed to see his master's worries, and stood up at the right time: "I thought that even if Zhang Dingguo really wanted to attack from behind, he could use the Eight Banners Han Army to confront him first, weaken his energy, and then send out The Eight Banners of Manchuria is the final word.”
The Eight Banners of the Han Army in the Hanzhong area have always been commanded by Tong Yanghe, so Tong Yanghe has a considerable degree of say.
Now it seems that the Green Camp soldiers are definitely no match for Zhang Dingguo's leadership of the Western Army.
This was clearly reflected in the Battle of Weicheng.
Then we can only use the Eight Banners of the Han Army and Zhang Dingguo to fight first.
Even if the Eight Banners of the Han Army were slightly inferior to the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, they could still greatly consume the energy of the Western Army.
This is like Tian Ji's horse racing.
He may not necessarily compare his most powerful army with his opponent's from the very beginning.
Bolo couldn't help but his eyes lit up after hearing this.
What a good idea.
Zhang Dingguo is also a human being, and the Western bandits are all flesh and blood.
How can they keep fighting without getting tired?
The advantage of the Qing army is that it is more elite.
In addition to the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of the Han Army also have considerable combat effectiveness.
As long as they don't send out green battalion soldiers to fight against the Western Army led by Zhang Dingguo, thereby demoralizing them.
No matter how powerful they are, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced after a big battle.
If they send out the elite Eight Banners of Manchuria at this time, they will definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.
Of course the trump card should be revealed at the end, there is nothing wrong with that.
Well, this Tong Yanghe is very good, he can worry about his master's needs.
When he pacifies Sichuan and asks the regent for merit, he must say a few nice words for Tong Yanghe.
As for Mr.
Hong, there is nothing to criticize.
It can only be said that Mr.

Hong was too confident and believed that the Eight Banners Army could eliminate Zhang Dingguo without any losses.
"Okay, let's do it."
Bolo slapped his head and said: "Give me the order to order the army to demolish all the fortresses near Chengdu and then besiege Chengdu."
"Slaves obey orders" Hong Chengchou and Tong Yanghe responded in unison
