On the south bank of Huangshui, the Qing army auxiliaries who had just demolished the camp on the north bank entered the state of construction again after transporting the building materials to the south bank, as if they were just going to move the original camp across the river.

The Qing army retreated across the river, and in the final analysis, it was because the Ming army successfully broke through the Qing army's interception and caused substantial damage to those who blocked it. This made the strength of the Qing army shrunk, and at the same time the morale also fell to varying degrees, once the Ming army came to aid the defenders in the city to attack the Qing army on the north bank of the Huangshui, in the current state, the result of the Qing army will be very bad.

Under normal circumstances, the army has been defeated, and it has withdrawn to its own control area as a gray one. This is not only to get a faster recovery, but more importantly, most of the people who command the army will not have the so-called women's benevolence, and if they win the battle, they will naturally take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Originally, the Qing army should have returned to the three counties of Lianshan by boat or on foot at this time, and then withdrew to the southern area of Huguang, first throwing off the threat of the Ming army in Guangdong, and then thinking about other things. However, although the Qing army abandoned the camp on the north bank of Huangshui and the north bank under Huangshi Mountain, it re-established camp on the south bank of Huangshui, and was even busier, even busier than when it was on the north bank.

The camp on the south bank is still re-encamped, and on the river of Zhenshui, the ships brought by the Qing army from the three counties of Lianshan are swaggering on the river. They didn't go anywhere with a purpose, but stopped when they reached the fairway. If you look closely, the draft of the boat is extremely deep, as if even a piece of chicken feather will cause the river to flow into the cabin.

Although the river is not as choppy as the sea, such a large load may cause the ship to be capsized and killed even if there is even a slight disturbance. However, the Qing army didn't seem to care about this, and slowly drove the boats to the fairway, and then the Qing army who rocked the oars threw the oars aside, picked up the sharp axes at their feet, and slashed at the boats.

The gang was wooden after all, and it soon began to break under the sharp axe, and even the planks on that side were not exempt. Soon, the river began to bubble into the boats from the gap. Seeing this, the Qing army jumped directly into the river, and swam to a slightly larger ship not far away, the biggest difference between that ship and the ship he had just destroyed was that it did not have such a deep draft, but there was a brazier on it, apparently for their evacuation.

The river poured into the boats, washing away the bricks and stones that were used as heavy loads on the boats, and disappeared into the cracks of the bricks and stones like an inland river flowing into a desert. However, as the river rolled in, more and more water poured in, and the weight of the boat became larger and larger, and soon even the river level was higher than the boat gang. Next, the desert is vast, but in the face of the collapse of the mountains and the pouring of the heavenly river, it will only disappear into the ocean in an instant.

The Qing army repeatedly did this in the main channel of the Beijiang River, just as important as they were building a camp on the south bank of the Huangshui. Their ships were basically looted from the three counties of Lianshan, and the hull was not large, but there were many of them, but they still posed an immeasurable threat to the safety of the waterway.

In Yingde County, the victorious Ming army yesterday had already entered the city to rest. Chen Kai spoke highly of the three generals who were able to tacitly defend the county seat, and as for why he did not attack from inside the city and attack Daniel Zhang's side, Chen Kai did not pay attention to this point. Because, the order he gave to the three generals was to defend the city, and when the city was threatened, he did not rashly disperse his troops and participate in the battle in the north of the city, which was the right reason.

Defending the city, this is crucial, but it is only the first step, the purpose of Chen Kai's army to return is to expel Hong Chengchou's southwest meridian and re-penetrate the Beijiang waterway to ensure the safety of the Ming army's military supplies.

With such a purpose, Chen Kai had to rebuild the army again, but before the army could rest and recuperate, the news that the Qing army had retreated from Huangshui came from Tanma in the south. This undoubtedly made the Ming army quite excited, because the Qing army did retreat, which is a good sign. But soon, new news arrived, but it was the Qing army that built a camp on the south bank of Huangshui, and at the same time sunk a ship to block the channel, which really made Chen Kai angry.

"Hong Chengchou, this old dog, seems to have no intention of giving up."

With the current state of technology and the flow of the Beijiang River, Hong Chengchou's measures to destroy the waterway will be effective, but it will not completely stop the waterway traffic. Not to mention the side, just a masonry and a ship, how much does it take for him to completely cut off the draft channel of the grain ship, this is undoubtedly a huge project that requires a lot of manpower and animal power to achieve. The Ming army's earlier fortified walls and cleared the wilderness, making it impossible for the Qing army to replenish enough human resources near Yingde County.

However, Hong Chengchou's behavior undoubtedly showed an attitude, that is, he did not give up lightly because of the failure of a blocking battle. On the contrary, in order to continue to achieve the goal of blocking the grain route of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou continued to do things at the risk of risk, making it clear that he wanted to force Chen Kai to withdraw his troops from Southern Jiangxi, at least from under the city of Southern Jiangxi, and withdraw to a place where it was easier to replenish military grain and grass.

Chen Kai said that all the generals under his command tried their best to ask for battle, and strongly asked Chen Kai to lead them across the Huangshui, and then break the southwest economic standard, and even cut Hong Chengchou alive, especially Ma Bao, Huang Xing and Wang Hansan, who were the most supporters of this proposal.

The generals are like this, but Chen Kai has no such mind at all. In fact, needless to say, the generals are well aware of their current situation. The Ming army defeated two towns and one battalion in the northwest of Yingde County, and the cavalry was fine, and the losses of the Qing army in those two towns were still incalculable even if they were restrained by Wang Jinbao's death and the cooperation of Daniel Zhang and Wang Fuchen. At the very least, it is absolutely impossible to fight the Ming army again in the near future. The strength of the Qing army has weakened, while the Ming army has been strengthened by joining divisions, and it is indeed a good time to attack again. However, if you want to fight the Qing army again, you must first cross the Huangshui, which is really not a suitable offensive direction for the Ming army, which lacks ships on the Huangshui River more than the Qing army.

"If you advance into the three counties of Lianshan......"

The big tent soon fell silent again, and Chen Kaimo held the map and carefully calculated. According to the above marking, the Qing army achieved the cut into the county seat of Yingde through Huangshui from there, assuming that the Ming army took a detour to capture the three counties of Lianshan, it seems that it can indeed cut off the retreat of the Qing army. However, this strategy is not only unrealistic, but more importantly, it does not achieve a substantive purpose at all.

"Fu army, although our army is victorious, the actual strength advantage is still not enough to achieve such a large span of division of troops, but we have to worry more about whether it will be broken by the Tartars......"

"On the issue of the grain route, the captive master relied on the Huangshui waterway to supply grain and grass to the tens of thousands of troops. If our army takes a detour and advances, the grain route will have to take the land route, which is too far away. But if it only cuts off the grain route of the captive division in Huangshui, it will inevitably be another division of troops, and if it is not done well, it will be broken by the captive division again......"

"Actually, even if we take the three counties of Lianshan, we will cut off the back road of the captive division. If Hong Chengchou's old thief goes out, he can also directly enter the territory of Zhaoqing Mansion, which is not our defense area, and the company is said to have trained some troops to supervise the standard, but I am afraid that it is not enough to even carry shoes for the southwest meridian standard. At that point......"

If that really happens, whether or not to send troops to help is not a matter of wasting time at all. However, if Hong Chengchou decided to flee to Guangxi from the territory of Zhaoqing Prefecture, Chen Kai would be easily left behind, and it might be a tempting idea to drive the wolf and devour the tiger, but Chen Kai did not intend to do so, because there was really no need for that.

There was a lot of discussion in the big tent, and soon, the plan to directly cross the Huangshui and fight a decisive battle with the Qing army was completely abolished. As a result, within two days' effort, Tanma got new news, saying that the southwest had arrived at the Qing army company camp on the south bank of Huangshui through Biaoqian Town.

"Nan Yikui, the commander of the town before the standard, said in intelligence that this guy was from Kunming, Yunnan, and the Liukou soldiers were defeated by Li Chuang, and later they were tartarized. In the sixth year of Yongli, the captives went south to Sichuan, and their people were the general soldiers on the right side to assist in the defense of Xuzhou Mansion. When the king of Funan led his army to invade Sichuan and won a great victory in Xuzhou, his people were once rumored to have died, but they actually escaped. Later, he was transferred to Huguang by Hong Chengchou's old thief and managed the town in front of the standard. ”

The Changsha shogunate has made great efforts to collect intelligence, and the same is true of the Guangdong Governor Yamen, even if the background and strength of the two sides are very different, but with the existence of Chen Kai, it is impossible to have comprehensive coverage like a search engine, but some people and some things still have an impression, even if this impression is not so clear, it is much stronger than a black eye.

About Nan Yikui, but he learned about it through Li Dingguo's relationship in Xiying. However, at this stage, the intersection between Nan Yikui and Xiying is not as huge as Chen Kailai.

The arrival of Nan Yikui means that Hong Chengchou has obtained 3,000 new troops, which makes the existence of the Southwest Longitude Mark on the south bank of Huangshui more stable. In contrast, Chen Kai organized a large army to enter Southern Jiangxi, and the troops in the north took away a large number of soldiers, and the towns that remained in Guangdong were also guarding the Beijiang waterway like a long snake at this time, and now the waterway was broken, and the Ming army was like a long snake that was clamped down, and then how could it be so simple to concentrate forces.

The reinforcements, on the third day of the arrival of Nan Yikui, also rushed to Yingde County by land, they came from Conghua County into the territory of Wengyuan County, and it was inevitable that they would be delayed for a while. However, the scale of this support force is really not large, only about 300 people, which is only one-tenth of Nan Yikui, and it is really not very good.

In the following days, due to the destruction and harassment of the Qing army's shipping routes, Chen Kai had to readjust the supply route of military supplies. The destruction of the grain route of the Qing army was not enough to completely block the shipping route, and most of the grain ships still sailed along the side near the east bank along the Beijiang waterway. At the same time, smaller grain ships were used, and escorts were added to ensure safety. As a result, the transportation of military grain and grass will inevitably decrease. For this reason, Chen Kai chose to change the transportation of part of the grain and grass to land, to be precise, after crossing Qingyuan, he changed to the east bank of the Beijiang River, until he passed Yingde County, and then continued to transfer to the waterway from there.

Trouble, there is no way. However, Hong Chengchou seemed to really want to live on the south bank of Huangshui and not leave, and Chen Kai couldn't mobilize a large enough army to expel him for a while, and there was no way.

The toad lies on the surface of the feet - do not want people, but respond to people. Hong Chengchou seems to be very talented in this, and he really disgusted Chen Kai with nothing to say. At the same time, as early as the Ming army went south to rescue, the Dingnan Domain of Guangxi had already crossed Pingle Mansion, and then played a siege of three missing one in Wuzhou City, which was locked in Liangguang.

Ma Xiong of Dingnan Domain has always been in charge of this place since he followed Kong Youde to occupy Guangxi, although he got up and turned in when the Ming army was strong, but when the Ming army was empty, he would immediately run back and start the snake again.

The enemy advances and I retreat, and the enemy retreats and I advance, and Ma Xiong seems to have some attainments in this regard. When this happened, it was the emptiness of the Ming army's strength in Guangxi, and the Qing army was attacking, Ma Xiong not only brought those soldiers and horses from his headquarters who were used to running like him, but also the whole section and a large number of green battalion soldiers to help in the battle, which can be regarded as a return of fine clothes.

In this regard, Gao Wengui, the general of the Ming army, is naturally ready for battle, in fact, since he went south to this city, Gao Wengui has been busy repairing and strengthening the city defense. He is Li Dingguo's cronies, so he naturally knows that Li Dingguo's purpose in returning to Guangxi this time is not Guilin Fucheng, but An Long's holy car. Once Li Dingguo moves westward, then Guangxi's side is bound to be empty. The difference is nothing more than a temporary emptiness according to the original plan, and according to Chen Kai's tips, it becomes a long-term emptiness, it's as simple as that.

When the Qing army approached the city, Gao Wengui naturally would not accept persuasion to surrender. Next, the siege drama was staged again in the Wuzhou capital city just half a year later, and the Qing army also transported some Hongyi cannons from Huguang to prepare for the same.

Between offense and defense, the two sides naturally inevitably come and go. Due to Hong Chengchou's temporary intentions, the strength of the Qing army was much weaker than originally planned, and there was no way to effectively replenish it for the time being. And Gao Wengui was no better, so he had to ask for help from Xunzhou Mansion, Nanning Mansion and Zhaoqing Mansion in the east on the eve of the Qing army's arrival in the city.

Li Chengjue, Shi Shangyi, Li Xianfang and other generals stationed in Xunzhou Mansion and Nanning Mansion are not mentioned for the time being, but Zhaoqing Mansion is the seat of the Yamen of the Governor of Liangguang, and Lian Chengbi, the Governor of Liangguang, has been sitting there for nearly a year.

In terms of scale, there are only 2,000 soldiers now, which is slightly inferior to Chen Kai's Fubiao, but for them, the civil officials sent by the Yongli Imperial Court, they control the generals in the local area, and often they themselves have no soldiers available, so they can only pass through those feudal towns. This time, it was actually a unit controlled by civilian officials, and the lieutenant generals and colonels were all drawn from the Ming Army in western Guangdong, and they were not afraid of being easily overridden if they were not the same system.

This time, Gao Wengui asked for help, and Lian Chengbi immediately sent a governor to help, and even planned to recruit Wang Xing, Zhou Jintang, Deng Yao, Zhang Yue, Gao Jinku, Li Guangen, Guo Dengdi, Wei Yingdeng, Ye Biao and other generals to send troops to Wuzhou Mansion to fight to the death with the Qing army.

However, this ambition was soon hit by a piece of news from the east, and Lian Chengbi hurriedly wrote to Chen Kai about the state of Hong Chengchou's invasion of Guangdong. It's a pity that when this letter was delivered to Yingde County, Chen Kai was not in the city. And the military information that was also sent from Wuzhou Mansion, from Guilin, Yongzhou, and Chenzhou in a big circle, was written from the perspective of the attacker, but it was directly sent to Hong Chengchou's case.

"Quan Jie and Ma Xiong's progress is very fast, and they have begun to besiege the capital city of Wuzhou."

This is undoubtedly good news after a long period of silence, and Hong Chengchou handed it over to the generals for circulation, which is also intended to boost the morale of the army. Especially since their current situation really doesn't seem to have made much progress at first glance.

"Gentlemen, the old man said very clearly, from the very beginning, the chess eye of this game of chess is not in this small Yingde County!"
