Go upstream, drive back to Nan'an Fu City from Tanxi Town, and then take the land route to Nanxiong Fu City, and then you can go down the river.

The scale of the two towns, in addition to the four battalions of Fubiao in Guangdong, plus the battalion A directly under it, and the three battalions of Hussar Town, together with less than 4,000 soldiers, was not enough to change the balance of strength for the large army that continued to advance towards the capital city of Ganzhou and the Qing army that was cowering in the capital city of Ganzhou.

This is exactly what Chen Kai needs, but for himself, only taking less than 4,000 soldiers to the south to confront Hong Chengchou's tens of thousands of Southwest Economic Standards, it is obvious that he will face a more difficult, even dangerous situation. However, Chen Kai still did this without the slightest hesitation. This is not that he really trusts it, because he is very clear about Hong Chengchou's purpose, and he is more aware of what he can do at the moment, and how much power he can gather.

On the march in the hinterland, Chen Kai rushed back to Nanxiong Mansion in front of the reinforcement brigade. This is guarded by the troops of Chen Kui who guarded the back town, Chen Kai transferred the left association to guard the back town with the army, and when he continued to go south and arrived at the Shaozhou capital city, the left Xie who guarded the back town was left to guard the city, and Xiao Gongchen's guard left the left town to free up his hands and feet.

Another 2,000 soldiers, less than 6,000 soldiers and horses are still at a serious disadvantage. When they arrived in the capital city of Shaozhou, there were no troops that could be mobilized in the vicinity of Zuo - either there were military missions that were being carried out, or they were blocked by the Qing army, and for Chen Kai, the bigger problem was time, because they didn't know how long Yingde County would be able to hold it.

The distance between the capital city of Shaozhou and the county seat of Yingde is two hundred miles, and there is a waterway of the Beijiang River, so the people of the three towns of the Ming army can reach it more quickly than Hong Chengchou with the help of the Huangshui waterway. The Qing army controlled the mouth, but did not completely block the Beijiang waterway, but controlled the wharves on both sides of the river, making it difficult for the grain ships of the Ming army to pass through.

The purpose of Chen Kai's aid this time was to expel the officers and soldiers and re-connect the supply of military grain and grass to the Beijiang waterway. Therefore, if the official army seized the city and completely used shipwrecks, iron cables, etc. to achieve a long-term deterrent to the Beijiang waterway, he would choose other ways to transport grain and grass, even if it would cost more. And now, as long as the officers and troops are expelled, the grain route can be reopened, so he will definitely come to a decisive battle with the officers and troops and try to drive them back in one battle......"

"Hong Chengchou wants to play the siege of the city to send reinforcements, that is, he sees that I am going to try to expel the captive master. So they will definitely try to block the connection between our army and the county town of Yingde. As long as the two divisions cannot meet the division, our army will always be at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Even if the two armies meet, as long as they control the mouth, they can still achieve their goals......"

In Shaozhou, there was no waiting for a moment and a half, and Guangdong Fubiao and Hussar Town arrived one after another. Next, the soldiers and horses of the three towns went down the river, and the boat sped on the river, and disappeared from the end of sight in a blink of an eye. On the fourth day of the Qing army's first attack on Yingde County, the army disembarked at the wharf in the area of Kengkouzui and set up camp. Here, close to the county seat of Yingde, you can see the Qing army's rangers on the left, as if waiting for their arrival.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance in the north of Yingde County, and Hong Chengchou and Chen Kai respectively conducted the final military discussion in their respective Chinese army tents. Through the waterway, Chen Kai has already achieved contact with the Ming army in the city, and the city is still in the hands of the Ming army, which is not a great blessing. However, Chen Kai could also see that the Qing army did not intend to spend too much energy on the siege, and they were waiting for his support army. This is almost on the surface, but the problem is that his purpose is to restore the supply of munitions, which must be solved as soon as possible.

After half a day's rest, I went to the boat and car, and early the next morning, the reinforcements of the three towns of the Ming army set off to the south and went straight to Yingde County.

At this time, the county seat of Yingde has been surrounded by a flood, there are Qing ships patrolling the river, the west and south sides of the city have long been surrounded by the Qing army, and there is already a large army in the north blocking the road that the Ming army must pass. Looking at the scale, it is even a lot more than the Qing army in the other two directions.

Hong Chengqian's banner is still in the west of the city, a few miles north of the city, and the three soldiers and horses of Jingbiaoyou Town, Jingbiaohou Town, and the Right Shrimp Battalion have gathered here, and Daniel Zhang, the commander of Jingbiao Right Town, Hu Maozhen, the commander of Jingbiaohou Town, and the three marshals of the Ouchi Guard, Wang Fuchen, the chief officer of the Right Shrimp Battalion, have already assigned their respective tasks according to Hong Chengqing's plan, just waiting for the Ming army's reinforcements to arrive.

The cavalry of both sides tested each other and suppressed each other's military intelligence collection between these two places, and scenes of light riding and dog fighting can be seen everywhere. After years of accumulation, the cavalry of the Ming army has formed a scale, although this scale is only the proportion of the ordinary green battalion, such as Guangdong Fubiao and Huwei Zuozhen are 400 cavalry, according to the proportion of the Guangdong green battalion and other cavalry two foot eight, but in the south has also caught up with the Qing army in many places.

During this period, the scale of the two sides was almost the same, and it seemed that the Qing army seemed to be more elite, which made it difficult for the Ming army's sentinels to continue to expand the boundaries of military intelligence.

With the continuous advancement of the Ming army, the distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, and the space belonging to the cavalry of the two armies is constantly compressed, compressed, and compressed, until the two sides are separated by a mile, and the light riding dog fight is still the same, but the Ming army stopped and began to reorganize the formation.

In the continuous temptation, the movement of the Qing army's large array was little known to the Ming army. However, the formation of several armies still relied on the continuous adventures of the horses to achieve the presentation in Chen Kai's mind.

"Here are two towns and one association, and the Tartar system is larger than ours, which is already more than 7,000. Hong Chengchou, you can afford me. ”

There were less than 6,000 soldiers in his hands, but the proportion of cavalry was relatively large—1,500 cavalry in Hussar Town, plus 400 cavalry in each of the two towns, and 2,300 cavalry on this side.

On the side of the Qing army, the ratio of the two towns was set according to the standard of Huguang, and it was also like the Guangdong Green Battalion, which was 2 steps and 8 horses, that is, 1,200 cavalry. Yu Nayou's shrimp battalion is Hong Chengchou's personal army, which is a cavalry formation, and there are more than 1,000 people. Calculated together, the cavalry on both sides was basically the same size, while the infantry of the Qing army was superior.

The formation gradually formed, and the hussar town of the Ming army and the right shrimp battalion of the Qing army were hidden in the rear by the heavy infantry. The left flank of the southward Ming army was Fubiao, Guangdong, and the right flank was to guard the left town; As for the Qing army, the right flank facing Fubiao in Guangdong is the town after the standard, and the left flank is the right town of the town.

Seeing that the Ming army appeared on the other side of the battlefield, the Qing army began to put on armor and array. At the same time, the Ming army on the opposite side began to dress the soldiers in standard cotton armor, as if they were a mirror contrast. Only after they finished putting on their armor, the war drums suddenly sounded, and with the slightly slow rhythm of the drums, the large array of the Qing army moved directly.

They were waiting for work, obviously not wanting to give the Ming army any respite. The distance of one mile is to prevent exposure to the range of the opponent's artillery, and in this field battle, both sides came in a hurry, and they were just some small cannons, and here the big horn pressed up, and Daniel Zhang, who was in charge of the command, could be described as unscrupulous.

The Qing army was like this, and everything was in Chen Kai's eyes. Continue to put on the armor, and then stay put, the soldiers of the Ming army are mostly veterans who have fought for many years, these years in Chaozhou, in Huizhou, in Qiongzhou, in Guangzhou, in Shaozhou and Nanxiongfu, and even in Fujian There are not a few, very clear that every physical strength, even if it is less, can not be easily consumed, because that will be the difference between life and death.

The Ming army seized all the time to accumulate physical strength, but the Qing army, on the other hand, advanced in an orderly manner, pausing at intervals to facilitate the re-leveling of the formation, and then continued to advance.

Through the telescope, Chen Kai clearly observed every movement of the Qing army. Pinching his fingers to estimate the time, looking at the reduction of the distance between them, his brows couldn't help frowning, and turned to look at Xiao Gongchen, who had not yet returned to the formation, who seemed to see the same thing, and just like him, showing a little worry.

"This rhythm is controlled so well, which shows that he is well-trained."

In the exchange of news with Yingde County, Chen Kai already had a difficult foundation for his opponent in his heart, and he saw it here, but he didn't say it if he wanted to come. And Xiao Gongchen's side, who was originally the chief general under his father-in-law, had rich combat experience, and when he saw Chen Kairusi, he didn't put the thoughts in his heart into words, just bowed his hand, and rode back to Zuozhen.

The distance between the two sides is constantly narrowing, 300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters, the marching Qing army and the Ming army in formation, the infantry archers on both sides seem to think together, put the arrows on the bow, just wait for the order of their respective officers, the bow is raised diagonally, pull the bowstring, and then the hand holding the bowstring is only loosened, and the arrow will rise into the air like a bird in the forest, and then sweep the opponent's battle formation like a storm.

Bows and arrows do not require a long time to reload like firebolts, and once an arrow is fired, the next sharp arrow can be drawn from the quiver to redraw the bow and arrow. From time to time, startled birds rose and hail fell, and from time to time soldiers who were hit by arrows fell, and the soldiers behind filled the vacancies while the auxiliaries pulled the wounded behind the formation.

The distance between the two sides continued to close, and soon, the firecracker also came in handy. It's just that unlike those rifles, the firecrackers reload at the back of the formation, and then leap out of the crowd, until they shoot the blow in front of the formation and immediately retreat into the formation. Their attacks were not diagonally up and down, but directly in the front row of the opponent.

The space was constantly compressed, and when it reached about fifty paces, the war drums of the Ming army sounded, the formation slowly activated, and then strode forward. The distance between the two narrowed at a faster rate, and the density of the shots immediately increased to a new level as the order to fire rapidly was given. After walking for another twenty or so steps, the Ming saber and shield soldier in the front row drew the javelin from behind with his backhand, and then threw it directly at the Qing army that was not far away.

The arrows were still in a parabola that rose and fell in the air, and the javelins were already flying in a smoother arc. Thirty paces away, the javelin was thrown, and in an instant, the sword and shield soldiers of the Qing army were already in full battle, and the crackling sound was heard, and the shield was marked full of javelins. The sword and shield soldiers who can block all the javelins are not the lucky ones even with years of experience, but more often, it is those javelins that pierce the shield and then pierce the hands of the Qing army, or rub the edge of the shield, or simply stab the parts that the shield does not take into account, just one javelin is enough to make a Qing army lose its combat effectiveness, or even die on the spot.

A batch of sparse fell, and the formation became gnawed by wolves and dogs, and in an instant, the Qing army in the back row made up for it, and the formation was restored to neatness. At this time, the Ming army in front of him was already drawing the next javelin, and he threw it with a little help like Fang Cai. However, it was precisely such a gap that a batch of javelins and flying axes had already flown from the Qing army, and they swept through the battle line of the Ming army in a daze.

There was another wail of pain, and from the moment the first arrow was fired, it gradually grew in size, and there was not a moment of peace. The Ming army was swept away, and some of the Ming troops who were supposed to throw the next javelin fell to the ground during this period, and even the next round of throwing became a lot more sparse. However, after the Qing army's throwing, before it could raise its shield again, the Ming army's throwing came again, and the casualties were even worse than the others.

In this way, the two sides rolled three rounds, and the distance had been reduced to less than ten paces. With the remaining strength of the run, the leading Rui Shi Dang rushed through this narrow distance, and rushed together in an instant. The crazy battle unfolded in an instant, and the fierceness of the Qing army even beat those Ming army soldiers one by one. This was just a blink of an eye, and the battle formations of the two sides made the final adjustment with this moment's effort, and then collided together.

Fighting in array, once the Ming army's three-person shield array is formed, against a single Qing army, both offensive and defensive, it will immediately make the other party tired of parrying - attacking the left is right, attacking the right is left, and occasionally there is the Ming army in the middle of the knife attack, long-term training makes them cooperate tacitly, just like a person, in the Qing army, the opposite is equivalent to the three-headed six-armed monster.

Caught off guard for a moment, the Qing army's front paid a large number of casualties. However, before the Ming army continued to press up and expand the results, the pikemen of the Qing army invariably crossed the sword and shield soldiers in the front row and stabbed at the sword and shield soldiers of the Ming army, and even stopped the Ming army's offensive. Immediately, the Qing army in the front row also began to form a dense formation in groups of three or five, and the current Ming army fought again, and the advantage of the Ming army was immediately resolved at the beginning of the collision.

"These Qing soldiers are really veterans selected by Hong Chengchou, it's really different."

The telescope showed the fierce battle ahead in front of Chen Kai's eyes, Zheng Chenggong's new tactics had been used for many years, but there had never been such a thing as this before against the Qing army in Guangdong and Fujian. He knew very well that these Qing troops were undoubtedly the most powerful green battalion soldiers in this era.

"Tell Lin Dezhong that the killer should be put at the most appropriate time."

Suppressing his temperament, Chen Kai said what he said to the herald, but he was actually talking to himself. It's just that the voice fell, and behind the Qing army, there seemed to be a new movement. Obviously, the Qing army did not intend to spend it like this.
