Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

After daybreak, the Qing army indeed once again deployed more troops to Fenghuangzhou, but at this time Zheng Jun had already deployed the third regiment of the Zuo Shesheng Division and its subordinates Tiaodang and Xuanfeng to the island overnight. The strength of the army has increased to 500, and it has already gained a certain advantage in the comparison of forces.

At the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, Li Linlong, who received reinforcements, began to urge about 3000 people from Tibiao Zuoying, Huanggang Xiezuoying, Huilaiying, Junbiaopingping and Sihuiying to attack the front line of Fenghuangtai.Since the Qing army could not transport heavy artillery to the continent, and the light Franco cannons and tiger squat cannons it carried had a limited range, the Qing army could only advance against Zheng Jun's artillery fire at first.

Although the Zheng army had managed to transport eighteen [-]-inch and [-]-inch light guns to Shangzhou, three of the [-]-inch guns and one [-]-inch gun were lost in the previous night attack by the Qing army. The artillery fire on the ground was not very intensive, and in addition to the limited range of Zheng Jun's two-and-a-half-inch artillery, the damage caused to the Qing army was also extremely limited.

After the Qing army advanced to 150 steps, Zheng Jun's two-and-a-half-inch guns joined the shooting. At this time, the casualties of the Qing army began to increase. The tiger squatting guns carried were fired, and the projectiles fired by both sides densely covered the air, causing certain casualties to each other.

At eighty paces, the Qing army's blunderbussmen rushed to the front of the queue and shot projectiles at Zheng Jun who was standing in front of him. Although the blunderbusses were not very powerful, the lead bullets still caused serious damage to the unprotected Zheng Jun's riflemen. certain damage.

After the Qing army shot for a while, and the advancing army drowned the gunners and the gunpowder smoke caused by the shooting, Zheng Jun steadily pulled the trigger amidst the sound of orders---three rows of rifle bullets fired in a salvo caused No less than the killing effect of shotguns, the front arrows of the Qing army were almost wiped out, and some of the Qing army Qianzong, who were standing at the forefront, were even hit by the bullets fired by more than a dozen rifles at the same time. middle

Although the casualties were not small, under the repeated urging of officials at all levels, the soldiers of the Qing army who were cannon fodder could only continue to bite the bullet.While the advancing Qing army was anxiously waiting for the metal storm to come again, the Qing army's blunderbuss soldiers who had already reloaded came out from nowhere, although their wanton interludes disrupted their own formation , but the bullets it fired also caused considerable confusion to Zheng Jun.

The two sides approached like this, you shoot me one round, and I return you for a while. At this time, Zheng Jun changed his tactics of sticking to the same place. After shooting a row, the row quickly withdrew and waited until After the three rows of guns finished shooting, what appeared in front of the Qing army was already a group of sentry swords and shields led by the two sentries of Tiaodang and Xuanfeng.

The two main white soldiers with (zhao) and (zhe) warts are distributed on the entire front, which actually dilutes the counterattack force, but behind each white soldier there are some ordinary sword and shield soldiers as supplementary forces, so both Qing and Zheng When they charged together, although Zheng Jun was unable to counter-charge, he was still able to firmly hold the front line.

Taking advantage of the white soldiers in front of them blocking the impact of the Qing army, Zheng Jun, who formed the spear formation, rolled back, and the spear stabs all pierced were like waves repeatedly beating on the rocks. Driving away, even Zheng Jun's own white soldiers couldn't stand under the waves, and finally chose to expand the front line outward.

Seeing that the situation seemed to be unfavorable to his side, Li Linlong immediately put together the only twenty or so cavalry around him and rushed into the formation, intending to disrupt Zheng Jun's tight gun forest. The number of more than twenty cavalry is too small. Without speed and sufficient numbers, these cavalry who were desperately charging into the battle disappeared completely in the spear formation after only a flash in the pan.

At this time, further bad news came. A guerrilla from the Zuoying Camp of the Huanggang Association and the Huilai Camp, and three commanders were killed in battle. Generals above the garrison were also killed in the Heping Camp, Sihui Camp, and Tibiao Zuo Camp. The morale of the rested Qing army began to decline slowly, and the war gradually became irreversible.

Li Linlong is also a rabbit. When he sees that he can't do anything big, he doesn't care about the hard words he said when he executed the deputy general of Raopingying, so he turned around and ran away, and even went straight to the navy battalion without notifying the subordinates who were fighting at the front. where.As soon as Li Linlong's banner was moved, it was clear at a glance that Zheng Jun was attacking from the front, and there were thunderous cheers immediately.As soon as the morale of the Zheng army exploded, the morale of the Qing army naturally fell to the bottom. Many officers and soldiers directly left the enemy in front of them and followed the admiral.At this time, Zheng Jun took advantage of the hot iron and chanted the slogan "Put down your knives and guns, and those who kneel down and beg for mercy will not be killed", and the Qing troops who had no intention of fighting anymore put down their weapons one after another.

Zheng Jun, who pursued to the edge of Xixi River, only saw Li Linlong boarding the boat and fleeing westward, while the Superintendent Biao Navy Battalion did not care about carrying the rest of the Qing army who were desperate to escape, and all fled westward. The Qing army was furiously cursing Some of them were self-sufficient in water and jumped into the river to escape, while those with poor water quality fled all the way south, but they were all picked out by Zheng Jun who searched the island in the end.

After receiving the battle report from Phoenix Island, Zheng Kezang immediately ordered the gunboat to sail into the front line of Guangji Bridge and shoot fiercely at the bridge pier.The rumble of cannons startled the Qing army on the front lines of Bijiashan and Jinshan. The leading Guangzhou general, Baiyindali, tried to order his troops to rush across the Guangji Bridge and retreat to Chaozhou City, but how could this be possible? After Yu rode the Eight Banners cavalry, the floating bridge in the middle of Guangji Bridge was hit by artillery fire.The Qing army at both ends tried to put out the fire, but this was simply a luxury under Zheng's artillery fire.More than half an hour later, under the double attack of shelling and fire, the pontoon bridge was completely destroyed. So far, more than [-] Qing troops were successfully divided by Zheng Jun in the east of the Han River.

After blasting the Guangji Bridge, Tang Xin commanded the gunboats to reach the east bank and fired at Bijia Mountain. Although the damage caused by the bombardment was not too great, it put a lot of pressure on the Qing army psychologically. The army became more and more restless.Immediately afterwards, Zheng Jun's gunboat crossed the Guangji Bridge again and appeared behind Han Shan. The shadows of sails on the river made Han Shan's defenders restless.

The Qing army in the east of the Yangtze River could retreat to the west bank from Yixi Ferry at this time, but because Zheng Jun's gunboats could sail directly to Crocodile Ferry to block the Qing army's crossing of the river, Bai Yindali was very hesitant about this.However, in view of the fact that the military rations provided by the West Bank were cut off, and the summer rations in Yixi and other places were not enough to supply the [-]-five army, Baiyindali could only choose to withdraw as soon as possible.

For this reason, he sent people to swim across the Han River, and agreed with Wu Xingzuo to use the navy battalion to contain Zheng Jun's gunboats and mobilize boats to help transport troops.

Wu Xingzuo promised one by one, and the two sides agreed to take action in three days. For this reason, Baiyindali has been carefully mobilizing troops to Yixi and other places. By the day of the action, nearly [-] Qing troops had been mobilized.But there are many things in the world that do not worry about the few but the unevenness. Even if such a large retreat can be hidden from Zheng Jun, how can it be hidden from the other Green Banner soldiers around him.Seeing that the lucky ones were about to flee one by one, and indeed entrusted themselves with the heavy responsibility of containing Zheng Jun, some Qing army officers and soldiers dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.For this reason, Baiyindali sent a large amount of rewards to try to dispel the grievances of some people, but the effect was extremely small. As a last resort, Baiyindali could only send his own Goshha to suppress the dissatisfaction of the battalions.

Baiyin Dali meant that he wanted to lose his car, save the handsome man and cut off his tail to survive, but Wu Xingzuo hung the chain.To be honest, Wu Xingzuo really couldn't gather enough boats for ten thousand people to cross the river within three days. Wu Xingzuo even used rafts, bamboo rafts and even door panels. Zuo and Baiyindali bit the bullet and went forward.

In the early morning of the third day of September, the Biaoyou Battalion in Nan'ao Town, Jiangxi Province, took advantage of the morning light to row a few small boats and tow a large number of buoys to resist Jiangdong. The retreat of the Qing Army officially began.But not long after the Qing army's operation started, Zheng Jun's navy, which had already smelled the smell, suddenly appeared downstream.But I never thought that Zheng Jun had already collected a considerable number of fast boats and eight oar boats during his stay in Chaozhou.After more than an hour of fighting, the Dubiao naval battalion was defeated, and the entire army was wiped out in the south of Guangji Bridge.

Zheng Jun spent more than half an hour clearing the waterway. After dragging away the sinking Qing army ships on the river, Zheng Jun's gunboats, fast boats, and eight-oared boats went up the river, and soon appeared at Yixidu and Crocodile Ferry. At this time, the Qing army managed to get through 2000 people. Seeing Zheng Jun approaching aggressively, Biao Youying, Nan'ao Township Township, immediately abandoned the boat and landed. , As a result, the Qing army's crossing of the river fell short.

But what made Baiyindali even more frightened was that the Green Banner soldiers who stayed at Hanshan, Jinshan, Bijiashan and other defense lines killed the remaining supervisors and surrendered to Zheng Jun after learning that the retreat had started.Under the guidance of these surrendered troops, Zheng Junbing accepted the various camps without bloodshed, and then rushed straight down from Hanshan Mountain, killing the various units of the Qing army who were in chaos as they were preparing to cross the river.

"Defeated!", "Kneel down and beg for surrender!", "Flee!", "Kill all the Tartars!" All kinds of voices rang out along the Han River, and the chaotic Qing army could not resist Zheng Jun's attack. After rushing to kill, all the high-ranking generals fled with their horses, while the middle- and low-level officers and soldiers knelt down and begged for surrender. took their lives.

"It's over." Looking at the scene of the collapsed army in front of him, Baiyin Dali, who was sitting on the horse, was precarious. "The slave is ashamed of the great entrustment to the emperor." Saying that Bai Yindali withdrew his hand and drew out his sword, he wanted to kill himself. The horse Bian next to him immediately saved his body, and the counselor next to him also tried his best to persuade him, and finally dispelled his will to die. Baiyindali finally ordered reluctantly. "Let's go to Baishaba. As long as we cross the river, we still have a chance to win this round."
