The thunderous sound came, and he didn't need to see it with his own eyes, he knew best what it meant - the cavalry of the brigade was galloping rapidly, but the problem was that although the Qing army had more cavalry, it lacked ships that could be transported, especially this time in the sneak attack operation, all of which were small boats, and the war horses could not be transported. The only possibility is that reinforcements from the Ming army have arrived, and it is not the sailors he had predicted earlier, but the cavalry.

Cavalry!

The heart turned with his thoughts, and only at this moment, Qiang Shijue's heart fell to the bottom. Following the direction of the shock, Qiang Shijue hurriedly turned his head and looked into the distance, and his sight extended from here until the sea, but there was no figure of the Ming Army, but the shock was getting closer and closer.

Qiang Shijue knew very well what this meant, and in the next second, as he expected, the iron horse bypassed the corner of the mountain forest and suddenly rushed into his sight, the red military uniform, and the flag raised high were also the color of fire.

"Li, Li Jianjie!"

On the banner waving in the wind, the huge Li character shows the identity of the main general. Taking the lead, Li Jianjie rode his spear and pointed directly, and the Ming cavalry of the brigade accelerated and galloped.

Speaking of which, the reason why he appeared here was due to the strategic layout of the Ming army. At this stage, Chen Kai had no intention of launching an offensive from western Guangdong, so in Qiongzhou Mansion, Lin Cha's water division, Du Hui's land division, and Cai Yuan's Changhua Association were enough to have these troops. Li Jianjie's hussar town was redundant since he took the Qiongzhou Mansion, and it must have been transferred back to the Chaozhou battlefield. After Chen Kai got the news of the end of the Battle of Zhaoqing, he immediately sent Li Jianjie back to Hong Kong to assist in the defense.

It will take time to return to Hong Kong, but it will also take time, if not more, to prepare everything to have a chance to threaten Hong Kong Island.

Starting from repelling Li Dingguo's army, Shang Kexi needed to watch Li Dingguo leave the Guangdong territory with his own eyes to really rest assured. At that time, when I returned to Guangzhou and got the fall of Qiongzhou Mansion, the main force of the Ming Army's naval division was in western Guangdong instead of Hong Kong, it was no longer the time to win at Longdinggang on the eighth day of April, at least I had to see you in late April. Next, Shang Kexi has to plan tactics and make all the preparations, everything is ready, why is it the beginning of May.

Speaking of which, this is still because even if Lin Cha goes to Qiongzhou Mansion and Jiang Meiao is here in Hong Kong, the sailors of the Qing army still do not have any advantage, and at most they will delay for some time.

The strait is a moat, and the tactic that the Qing army can use is to divert the tiger from the mountain, since it is a sudden attack, then the troops will not be too much, and the strength will not be too strong, as long as it can overpower the defenders, it is enough. Because of this, Chen Kai transferred back to Li Jianjie.

The wind and waves at sea were delayed for two or three days, otherwise it would have arrived a long time ago, how could there be such a bitter battle. Or, as Li Jianjie thought at this moment, if Li Dingguo could hold out in Zhaoqing for a few more days, and when he returned to the defense step by step, there was a good chance that even the plan of the surprise attack would be canceled.

The Iron Rider was racing wildly, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, it was overwhelming. More and more Qing troops noticed that the cavalry of the Ming army was killed from the flank, although it was still far away, but the reinforcements of the Ming army appeared, especially the king of the battlefield in the era of cold weapons, at this moment the scale of six or seven hundred soldiers is not small, especially several times more than the Ming army in front of them, but in front of the cavalry, what can it be counted?

The cavalry of the Ming army roared in, and the Qing army was in a panic on the spot, and there was no will to fight. The frequency of attacks slowed down, and Nie Yiniang and their side could feel it the most. As soon as there was a chance to breathe, the changes in the distance immediately appeared in front of me. At this time, Nie Yiniang even let out a loud shout.

"Reinforcements have arrived, kill the Tartars!"

Nie Yiniang's voice was full of joy and desire for victory, and the arrival of reinforcements could not be said to have given this Ming army a dose of strengthening, even if it was a morale boost.

The situation reversed, and the more than 100 Ming troops began to turn to pressure the Qing army to fight, and at this time, the cavalry of the Ming army also quickly followed, and Qiang Shijue dispatched some pikemen to line up, intending to reject the horse, but he was a long-term water manager, but where did he remember in this panic, with such a thin spear array, how could he withstand the iron hooves of the Ming army?

Arrows soared into the air on their horses, sweeping through the Qing army's spear array at a speed that surpassed Feiyan's. The formation was destroyed, but it was attacked from both sides, and even if the Qing army fell into chaos, the soldiers and generals were chaotic for a while, and it was difficult to replenish, so they had to resist the iron cavalry of the Ming army in this broken array.

At the same time, as soon as the arrows came out of their hands, the well-trained Ming army directly stuffed the cavalry bow into the bow bag, and the backhand was replaced with a cavalry lance, waist knife, broadsword and even various alternative blades for riding and fighting.

The cavalry rushed, wrapped in great momentum, and every second that passed, the courage of the Qing army was lost. Just wait for the war horses to rush to the front of the Qing army, when even the slaughter like chopping melons and vegetables, the spear array of the Qing army was broken without even a slight resistance, and then the Qing army with short soldiers was under the attack of the Ming army on both sides.

and the Ming cavalry over there were aspiring to slash and kill the rout, and the defenders of the Ming army led by Nie Yiniang had completely turned over, looking at those sacrificed robes, how could there be any mercy.

Slashing with knives and stabbing with guns, the Ming army wantonly slashed and killed the Qing army, even if they wanted to kneel on the ground and ask for surrender, they did not let go. After a while, there was no Qing army standing on the battlefield, and some only two converging Ming troops were left to clean the battlefield there, especially Nie Yiniang, who didn't even have the strength to clean the battlefield, and they didn't even have the strength to clean the battlefield.

"Qiang Shijue? Haven't heard of it. ”

casually threw the dead head again, and all that was left of Li Jianjie was that look of indifference. Compared with those Qing army dead, he was more interested in these Ming army defenders. As for the reason, just because this group of people took the lead in a woman, it was really difficult not to be eye-catching.

"You're from the ambulance team?"

Li Jianjie had heard that there was a female captain of the ambulance team, but who had the surname to remember, at this moment, he asked, but Nie Yiniang quickly stood up, and saluted respectfully: "Nie Yiniang, the head of the ambulance team under the Hong Kong Island Garrison, has seen Uncle Li." ”

Nie Yiniang's attitude, Li Jianjie was very satisfied, nodded, and asked why she was leading the team here. You must know that the more than 200 Ming troops have garrisons, thousands of generals, and generals, and the class composed of officers at all levels is densely ventilated, so don't say that she is a woman, even if she is a man, how can she have a chance to get ahead.

Before he could say anything, a little farther away in the direction of the town, a group of people rushed over with shouts, and when they looked closely, they knew that it was the garrison, the officials in charge of the salaries and civil affairs of the island, and some of the officials.

"The humble duty is here, the humble duty is here, this time Uncle Li went thousands of miles to help, and the humble post thanked Uncle Li for his life-saving grace on behalf of the merchants and soldiers on the island."

The guard looked flattering, and this group of people directly squeezed Nie Yiniang and the others aside. But seeing that Li Jianjie was about to ask, the garrison hurriedly explained: "When the captive master attacked, the lowly official was unwell, and when the lowly official knew that the captive had landed on the island, and when he came again, Song Qianzong's side had already been defeated. As a result, the lowly official had to make the head of the Nie team temporarily take over the responsibility of commanding, and continued to delay the capture of the division to buy time for the reinforcements to rush back, while the lowly official went to inform the officials on the island to be ready to burn down the warehouse, and at the same time recruited these officials to come to the rescue......"

In a few words, the garrison put the blame on the disadvantage of leading the troops of the thousand general, and Nie Yiniang's counterattack became an instruction to him. As for escaping from the battle, running to the port to find a ship and going to sea has become a liaison reinforcement.

At this moment, the defenders present all showed anger on their faces, especially the first few ambulances who followed Nie Yiniang to fight back, and now there are only two left, and they are even more furious.

However, Nie Yiniang stopped them as soon as she stretched out her arm, and then shook her head, but she did not deny it, but only said that the ambulance team was responsible for her duties and the wounded needed to be treated as soon as possible, so she took her leave.

The garrison is a relative of Lin Cha, the youngest son of Mrs. Lin's own brother, to be exact. Lin Cha was the marquis, and the Lin family even took his wife and family to gain power, and the younger sons of this brother grew up in pampering, and they were inferior to their fathers and brothers. In the past two years, it was really Mrs. Lin's pillow that the wind had blown a lot, so Lin Cha took him out to experience, and he was very honest when he followed Lin Cha, and he was quite smart, and his popularity in the army was not bad. As a result, Lin Chacai asked Chen Kai for the post of Hong Kong Island garrison with him, in order to have more experience and always be successful. Originally, Lin Cha was nothing when he was on the island, but he knew that as soon as Lin Cha left, this guy would dare to leave his post without permission.

However, Fu Minghou's relative, Nie Yiniang knew the depth and didn't say much. And those defenders dared to be angry one by one but didn't dare to speak, so they simply didn't give him a scene here, and followed Nie Yiniang directly, supported the wounded soldiers, and returned directly to the barracks.

As soon as the defenders left, the ground was empty. The garrison is still talking about the lotus flower, where can I take care of the senses of those Qiu Ba, but those officials seem to be very apprehensive about the surprise attack of Fang Cai, but at this moment, there is Uncle Li, who is wise and martial in the mouth of the guard, and he can feel a lot more at ease.

In less than a moment, Jiang Meiao's fleet rushed back, and he was relieved to see that Li Jianjie's headquarters was cleaning up the battlefield. Soon, Jiang Meiao's lieutenant also hurried back with the fleet, as well as the captured ships and captured Qing troops, but seeing that the Ming army had already held the island, the heart that was hanging high finally fell.

"The last general was incompetent and let Nagai Yipeng run. Damn, it's just two boats, just those two, the guy surnamed Gai has been prepared, and by the time I get rid of the resistance of the ship in front, he's already fled. ”

The lieutenant general was a little discouraged and inevitably worried. Jiang Meiao led the fleet to inspect the route according to the established arrangement, and he stayed here, so he also had the responsibility of co-defending. When the Qing army attacked, he fell for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain, and the responsibility was indispensable.

After a hard battle, he finally basically annihilated the Qing army's sailors, which is a credit. Once returned, Hong Kong Island did not fall, and even the losses were far less than expected. However, the lack of Gai Yipeng is not beautiful after all, and failing to do his best is his biggest regret.

As the adjutant general spoke, Li Jianjie and Jiang Meiao glanced at each other. Both of them are Chen Kai's people, and in terms of their relationship with Chen Kai, they are indeed closer to the next level than close friends like Du Hui and the Ke family brothers, and compared to allies like Lin Cha, Hong Xu, and Chen Bao who have cooperated for many years. There is no need to say much at this moment, as long as this glance has passed, there is no need to say anything more, everything is silent. Only the garrison was still working hard to arrange the celebration banquet.

Speaking of which, his performance in this battle can only be described as a dead end. Whether it is leaving one's post without permission or fleeing from battle, it is a capital crime in the army. What he holds now is nothing more than that those defenders know his identity, dare to be angry but dare not speak, and at this moment they are working hard to welcome him, and they are also pinning their hopes on Li Jianjie, Jiang Meiao and others to be able to say a lot of good words to Chen Kai for him in front of Lin Cha - credit or something, I dare not think of it, at least it must be offset by a merit or demerit.

Identity is his greatest reliance. As for the military heart or something, he also saw it, whether it was Mr. Qian, who died in battle, or Nie Yiniang, he was more useful than him at the moment.

However, as far as he is concerned, as long as the official position is still there, he can suppress those Qiu Ba. But Nie Yiniang's performance really scared him a lot. Especially when I think of the rumors about this woman, especially when I recall his tongue and tongue about her during this time, I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Uncle, the last general heard that the deceased husband and deceased brother of the leader of the Nanie team had followed Zhang Hanlin back then......"

Zhang Hanlin is naturally Zhang Jiayu, and that year, the main opponent of Lingnan Sanzhong was Li Jianjie's father-in-law Li Chengdong. This is an old matter, and the garrison mentioned it by introducing Nie Yiniang, but Li Jianjie couldn't help but glance at him.

"I know."

Early the next morning, Li Jianjie wrote a letter, which was sent back to Qiongzhou Island by the joint Jiang Meiao to report the news to Chen Kai. At the same time, Li Jianjie also led his troops across the Kowloon Strait and went straight to the Qing army camp beyond the coast. It's just that by the time they arrived, the camp had already been empty, and in the words of the people in Zuo Jinqiaocai, the Qing army auxiliaries in those camps had all run away yesterday.

estimated the time, probably when Li Jianjie appeared. Counting, even if you kill directly at that time, you can only catch up with a tail. As for the place where the Qing army auxiliaries went, it was nothing more than Xin'an County, where the Qing army in a town was used as the backbone of the Qing army in the Kowloon Peninsula camp.

"Set fire to this place!"

originally thought that it was just a forward camp monitored by the Qing army, and with Xin'an Town behind, the Ming army did not care, and second, they did not dare to rashly land and fight, so they have been letting the camp exist. It was like this since Lin Cha was there, and after Jiang Meiao took over this place, it was also the same, where would he have thought that this would become the forward position of the Qing army to carry out surprise attacks, especially the wall of the camp to hide the tracks of those small boats, which really caught the Ming army off guard.

The camp was burning, and Li Jianjie did not take his cavalry to Xin'an County for a turn. Speaking of which, one is that it came from the sea, and yesterday there was a fierce battle, and both soldiers and horses need time to rest; On the other hand, this place is not too close to Xin'an County, especially to cross the Ming River, which is the Shenzhen River in later generations. The situation in enemy-occupied areas is unknown, and there is really no need to take risks for the time being.

"When the Fu army comes back, I will look good with these Tartars!"
