The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 467 Evaluation of Jianlu's Combat Strength

The temporary military meeting lasted until late at night, and almost all the details of the operation had been discussed repeatedly, and the plan for the ambush in Jurong was finally finalized.

Zhu Linmi rubbed her sore shoulders, and suddenly thought of the other groups of people, so she told Zhang Jiayu: "Yuanzi, let someone contact Zhang Huangyan and Chen Bangyan, and ask them to seize their opportunities and act cheaply."

"Yes. The subordinate will send someone there immediately."

At this moment, outside the gate of the Longwei Army camp, a patrolling soldier was holding duck soup that was already cold and clumping, and whispered to himself in embarrassment: "Why hasn't Miss Zilu come back? Does she still want this jar?" It's..."

A troop of Qing soldiers trotted forward in disorganized formation. The riverside was humid and hot at the end of September. Almost all the soldiers took off their clothes and put them on their shoulders, grinning with exhaustion.

"General, Lishui County is not far ahead." An officer wiped off his profuse sweat and cupped his hands to Guo Hu, "It is said that the county seat has been captured by the southerners. Shall we set up camp here first and send scouts to find out the truth? go again?"

"What kind of camp?" Guo Hu said angrily, "Don't you know Zhang Tianlu? He fights like a mad dog, and he doesn't hesitate to tear his face for military exploits."

He yelled at the soldiers around him, "Hurry up, everyone, everyone will be rewarded when we arrive in Jiangning!" Then he turned to the officer and said, "The day before yesterday, someone came to report that the army company camp was more than ten miles away, building earth barriers, Watchtowers are constantly going on day and night, and cannons are constantly bombarding. How can there be time to take care of this Lishui County?

"I think they captured the county town earlier to grab food and grass."

He was analyzing the enemy's situation "using himself to judge others", when he suddenly heard a burst of trumpets on both sides, and the mount under his crotch suddenly stood up in shock.

Immediately, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came from the eastern hillside, and more than a thousand cavalrymen swept down like a gust of wind holding spring wheel guns.

The captive army was on their way in a hurry, not to mention their formation, and they couldn't even find their knives or guns anywhere for a while.

The hussars of the Dragon Guards passed through the sparse captive soldiers, firing short guns at random in all directions, causing chaos in the Qing army.

Under the oppression of the cavalry, Guo Hu had no choice but to gather his men and horses and retreat to the west.Before he had walked half a mile, he was stopped by a line of Ming troops again. The fire flashed in the formation, and the front row of captive soldiers immediately overturned hundreds of people.

At this moment, nearly a thousand cavalry galloped from behind the Qing army...

The battle ended quickly.Unprepared, more than [-] people under Guo Hu's command were quickly cut into seven or eight pieces, and then collapsed instantly under the fierce firepower. Most of them fled towards the unstopped north.

Zhao Shichao led his cavalry in hot pursuit, while Gan Hui led his infantry to gather the prisoners. The [-] Ming troops cooperated tacitly and efficiently.

By dinner time, all the more than [-] surrendered soldiers had been escorted to Lishui County, but there were simply not enough cells in the county seat, and Guo Hu's men were "placed" only after the county government and the inspection department were full.

At the same time, Zhang Huangyan and Deng Shan were chatting, watching more than a dozen cannons not far away taking turns tearing up the city wall of Hangzhou.

Hong Chengchou believed that the main force of the Ming army was in Nanjing. He not only transferred Huang Ding and others who had besieged Pinghu, but also transferred Chen Tai, who was originally guarding Hangzhou, to Wuxi. There were only less than [-] green battalion soldiers left in Hangzhou.

Zhang Huangyan immediately surrounded Hangzhou with more than 4000 people from Pinghu City after he received the order from His Royal Highness the Assistant Government King to "do things cheaply".

The Qing army stationed in Hangzhou at first wanted to go out of the city to fight—after all, the Zhejiang army was always vulnerable to them in the past.However, Deng Shan's [-] Polu battalion was in charge this time, and Zhang Huangyan was considered to be the most powerful of the old Ming army. At that time, nearly half of the Hangzhou defenders were wiped out, and the rest hurriedly closed the city gates and dared not Come out arrogant.

Then Zhang Huangyan transported the naval cannons in Pinghu City on bullock carts, and spent more than ten days moving them to the vicinity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then transported them along the river to the city of Hangzhou, where they began to bombard Hangzhou.

There were a total of two to three thousand Qing troops stationed in nearby Jiaxing, Haining, Dexing and other places. When Hangzhou was in an emergency, they had to bite the bullet and rush to reinforce, but they were ambushed one after another.

Zhang Huangyan is the king of Jingxue Fuzheng, and he also played "surrounding the spot to fight for aid" near Hangzhou.

……

"I really don't know what that old thing is capable of, to make the Ninth Prince trust him so much, and leave the entire Jiangnan war in his hands?" Luck Dehun stood on the top of Jiangyin City, and said indignantly, "It's just a Ni It’s all worth it, I, the dignified descendants of Aixinjueluo, still have to listen to him!”

There was the sound of soldiers practicing from below the city, and he followed the prestige to the infantry phalanx below the city, and nodded in satisfaction.

Each of these infantry is equipped with refined cotton armor, holds the latest eleven-coin flintlock, and carries a shiny short spear behind the back to support the firebolt, looking majestic.

Between the musketeers are spearmen holding two-foot-long spears. Their armor is based on the musketeers, and they are covered with a layer of scales. In the past, the three-coin guns were extremely difficult to shoot even at a distance of thirty steps. wear.

These gunners and spearmen were all arranged in five rows and ten rows of squads, and the squads joined each other end to end, forming a large formation that was more than half a mile long.The steel blades of knives and spears flashed in the formation, there were many firecrackers, the orders were unified, and the formation was strict. One could tell at a glance that this was a tiger and wolf army.

This is the elite Zhenghongqi Firearms Battalion formed by Dorgon pouring nearly one million taels of silver into making military armor and training with the new battle formation taught by Gao Xiang and the Raksha people.A total of more than [-] people are the "secret weapons" used by Dorgon to restrain the Ming army's firearms troops.

"If I lead the army, I will go around the Qiantang River, take Shaoxing first, and then go all the way to Fujian. With the strength of our elite Jianzhou soldiers, if those southern barbarians dare to fight, they will be wiped out in an instant!"

Luke Dehun immediately remembered the situation of the "Ming Army" performing martial arts not long ago, disguised as the new firearms training battalion and the green battalion.

According to Gao Xiang's description, the two thousand green camps all held "six-coin flintlock guns". Facing the [-] Zhenghongqi firearms camp, they collapsed in just a cup of tea. When the gun was fired, the "Ming Army" formation with only three rows was shot to pieces in an instant.

In the ensuing confrontation, the Firearms Battalion relied on a large number of chariots and armor on their bodies, and was almost unscathed.Although the "Ming Army" was also equipped with cotton armor, it was like paper paste in front of the eleven-dollar firecrackers. Every time the firearms battalion fired a blunderbuss, it could knock down a large number of "enemy troops".

When the two armies fought hand-to-hand, since the "Ming army" were all musketeers, it was simply vulnerable.The musketeers of the Huoqi Battalion didn't even take off the short spears on their backs, and the spearmen alone poked the "Ming Army" over.

The lieutenant beside him, Babutai, hurriedly echoed: "No, in the past, one of my Jianzhou warriors was worth three or four Nikan soldiers. Now that we have this elite firearms battalion, even ten southerners may Not an opponent!"
