Chapter 11: The Legacy (Part II)

It seems that something is not quite right, Liu Guangbi doesn't understand, how long has it been, can it be that after a while of farming, these mud-legged people can understand the way to fight?

It is estimated that I have lost a lot and summed up some experience, and I am just a little clever. Liu Guangbi didn't pay too much attention to it, the casualties of the Qing army came more than expected, and they were faster, but with the order to continue the attack, these experienced Qing troops also quickly resumed the momentum of the offensive.

The offensive was still continuing, the Qing army was holding up, and the Ming army could not muster a few artillery, and the two sides were engaged in an offensive and defensive battle in the era of pure cold weapons. The arrows kept falling, and they were caught off guard, and the Qing army held their shields and maintained tactical movements, and the damage of such diffuse shooting was greatly reduced like diving. The Qing army accelerated its advance, and when it reached the pass, the next step was to erect the ladder for the ant siege, but found that the shallow ditch that I noticed earlier did not seem to go down, and the angle and length of the ladder seemed to be insufficient.

The city continued to shoot, and at this distance, some powerful Ming troops also began to throw some more powerful stones and other objects at them.

Jumping off doesn't seem like a good idea, but it's better than being a target in the city. A large number of Qing troops rushed to the front and jumped down, followed by the follow-up Qing army, and then the ladder can be erected, unexpectedly this just jumped down, and there was a burst of screams, and the Qing army who jumped down looked at the bloody bamboo thorns that emerged from the surface of their feet in horror, and this shallow ditch was a huge trap full of bamboo sticks.

This time, there is no way to set up a ladder without going down the shallow ditch, and the foot of the shallow ditch will suffer, most of the people who go down the shallow ditch first are pierced by bamboo sticks, and the speed of action is seriously limited, and the follow-up Qing army, the advance and retreat are lost, and they immediately become the live target of the Ming army......

The arrogance of the Qing army made them pay the price of blood in the face of this small routine, fighting for an afternoon, attacking three times before and after, and finally even the standard battalion was also on the field, and the wall was once climbed by the Qing army, but in the end, under the struggle of the Ming army, it still ended up with a feather.

The back of the Qing army was driven away by the cheers of the Ming army. At this moment, Jie Chongxi and Cao Daho are also in this cheering crowd, not only infected, but also their heartfelt joy.

The Ming army in Jiangxi has been defeated repeatedly, and countless camps have been set up over the years, but there are very few that can temporarily stop the offensive momentum of the Qing army. And even if it was held for the time being, it would have paid a lot of casualties, and when the Qing army attacked next, it had to retreat so as not to cause greater losses.

Because of this, being able to repel the Qing army with relatively few casualties is something that these Ming troops from the righteous army have almost never had. Although the Qing army is more still lost to their light enemy, it is not that there is no better way to achieve the goal, but this time it is a rare experience, the Jiangxi Ming army has this victory, the confidence in holding the fortress is greatly increased, and the morale of the people can also be effectively improved.

"Chen Kaizhen is worthy of being Zhu Chenggong's number one cronie, who can deceive Chaozhou City alone, can play Du Yonghe in the palm of his hand, and can pull teeth from the mouth of a still gratifying tiger, this talent is indeed incomparable to ordinary people. Zhaojing, I'll tell you the truth, I already regret letting him go like this. ”

Speaking of which, Jie Chongxi accepted Chen Kai's suggestion, and with some of the means mentioned by Chen Kai when defending the city and the experience of Cao Dahao, Hong Guoyu, Zhang Zisheng and others, the fortifications designed played a significant role. At least, it is better to have a better chance of victory than letting the Ming army in Jiangxi directly engage the Qing army.

There is no need to guess that the Qing army will never give up the offensive and let them remain entrenched here for a long time. The new offensive may not be long, and it is bound to be more ferocious. But the confidence has gone up a level, and the mood is very different, at this moment, Jiezhongxi said that he couldn't help but feel sorry for the biggest hero of this battle but couldn't use it, but regret is regret, he also knows very well what can he do if he leaves Chen Kai, but it is better to have a good fate, and we can meet in the future.

There is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up, and Chen Kai's suggestions are not only used this time, but there are many things that they can't use for the time being. When Cao Dahao heard this, he also expressed his agreement with the regret of revealing Chongxi - to put it simply, the Jiangxi Ming army has been defeated repeatedly, and it is indeed too eager for a victory, and even more eager to continue to win like this until the entire Jiangxi is recovered, and these Jiangyou children are taken to do more things for the cause of recovering the Han family.

"Commander, I heard what the guide said, Chen Kai started writing that letter after witnessing a tragic massacre in a small village on the road."

"Yes, Zhaojing, I've heard about it. Speaking of which, he should have seen a lot of such scenes, but he was still able to be touched, and he wrote the letter in spite of the faction's opinion and the dissatisfaction we had just rejected him, which shows that he has feelings of concern for the country and the people in his chest. Such a character can really be described as a national soldier. ”

Revealing the heavy and praising it, but Chen Kai had already left early, and there was no possibility of cooperation between the two sides for the time being. After celebrating this victory a little, the Ming army in Jiangxi had to seize all the time to prepare for the next battle. However, Chen Kai is already boating on Poyang Lake, where the mouth of the Jiujiang River is already in front of him, and after here, you can go down the Yangtze River and go down the Yangtze River.

Compared with the joy of Jiangxi Mingjun at the moment, Kuang Lu's mood was a little low. At that time, Jiangxi was the land of fish and rice, with developed fishery, agriculture and handicrafts, and the people were solid and the literary style was prosperous. However, along the way, what I saw was broken, the people were in rags, and the gentry and Confucian students hid in the mountains and forests, and they were no longer the old look. Especially in the left side of Nanchang, sparsely populated, abandoned villages abound, how can it be like the weather around a Xiongcheng in Jiangnan that once had a population of no less than 200,000 in the city alone?

Gradually, Kuang Lu also began to gravitate towards Cai Qiao's suggestion to return to Fujian immediately—with Chen Kai's ability, it would be better to play a greater role than to "do nothing" here.

It's a pity that Chen Kai is determined and can't be easily convinced. At this moment, sitting on the big boat that changed when entering Poyang Lake, under the oil lamp in the cabin, silently in a booklet with the words "Investigation of the Anti-Qing Movement in Jiangxi" written in Chinese pinyin, just like the title, wrote what he had seen and heard on this trip in words that others could not understand.

"In the land of Jiangxi, the government exploited excessively, the green camp plundered and slaughtered, Confucianism prevailed, and the gentry and common people had a strong resistance to the Qing court......"

"In this province, the Qing army took Nanchang, Jiujiang and Ganzhou as defense nodes, and gathered heavy troops, while other prefectures and counties had fewer troops, no, very few, very few......"

"Although there are many Ming troops and righteous troops, their combat effectiveness is weak, almost the same as civilians, and the Qing army is carrying out targeted encirclement and suppression of the four battalions of the general Yan Luo and the four major Kou in Jiangxi, and the prospects are not good......

"The local area is ruined, and the Qing court's policy will exacerbate this phenomenon, but if you want to recover, lightly reduce taxes, or even just divide the land and tuntian, it can also gather many people's hearts. The Qing court is now powerful, and there is no shortage of talented people inside, perhaps some people have already seen this...... "Dividing the land can restore production, appease the people, and more importantly, carry out a new round of mowing ......"

"This is a great opportunity!"
