Chapter 218: Sure enough, it's them

Gao'an County is the seat of Ruizhou Prefecture, and after occupying Gao'an, the flank defense line to the west has been completed, and the combat goal of Feng Suqin's Western Route Army has been completed.

However, it was too easy to get down this way, and he didn't fight a decent battle, which made Feng Suqin restless.

That night, after leading people to settle in the Ruizhou Mansion, she called her right-hand man, Feng Anmin, deputy battalion commander and commander of the first company, to discuss the next step of the march.

This goblin, don't look at her less than twenty years old, but compared with Chu Fang, the king of the beautiful mountain who is a few years older than her in Hunan, she is also a girl from the mountainous area of ethnic minorities, her style is much wilder, and her heart is much bigger.

Because of her father's spoiling, she likes to dance with knives and sticks since she was a child, and she has a spicy nature, once she wears a uniform and steps on the battlefield, she simply forgets that she is a girl, and she doesn't know what it means to be afraid.

In the past, she called the newborn calf not afraid of tigers, but after following Lin Xiao and them to save people from the tiger's mouth and ambush Kong Youde, she gradually had a real military temperament.

Immediately afterwards, after receiving devilish special warfare training, she not only mastered superb military skills, but also inherited Lin Xiao's characteristics of the king of soldiers who looked down on the world and stood out from the crowd, which was deeply imprinted in her bones and integrated into her blood.

If Lin Xiao gave her an order now and asked her to kill all the way to Nanjing, she would definitely rush forward without hesitation.

There are only three companies in the Dayao Mountain Independent Battalion, with more than 300 people, of which the first company where Feng Anmin is also the company commander is the main company, and the third company is a female soldier company, which is adapted from Feng Suqin's original female guards.

The second company has been scattered all the way to Xinyu, Yifeng, Shanggao and other places that have just been recovered, training recruits for her, so at the moment, there are only two companies left around Feng Suqin.

Fortunately, the independent battalion has been a cavalry since it became an army, with strong mobility ability, and the assault rifles of the whole battalion are one water, so Feng Suqin is very proud and has been holding back his strength to meet the legendary Manchurian elite.

Because of this, this arrogant and brutal girl has always regarded the Ming army foot soldiers who followed her as a burden along the way.

"If it weren't for the drag of this old soldier, maybe he would be able to kill Nanchang City one step ahead of Jiao Lian." In the past few days, Feng Suqin has been muttering.

According to the original agreement with Jiao Lian, her team of more than 6,000 people, as a partial division, only needs to connect Ji'an, Xinyu, and Ruizhou counties along the west bank of the Ganjiang River and firmly hold it to ensure the safety of the flank of the Eastern Route Army.

As for Nanchang, Jiao Lian did not ask her to cooperate with the attack, so he just said casually: "If there is a Tartar who escapes the net and crosses the Jiangxi River, you can try to intercept and kill it, which is a great achievement." ”

Judging from Jiao Lian's point of view, it is not easy for this 6,000-strong partial division to hold a defense line more than 100 miles long.

You must know that according to the regular combat effectiveness of the official army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, 3,000 people can usually only garrison the territory of one county.

However, just today, the scout she sent out during the new Yu period returned, bringing back extremely important military information.

On the Hunan side, the main force of Zhu Yujia's Third Regiment has made particularly rapid progress, and its vanguard has already approached Changsha, and the Qing army in Liling has already crossed the river and is unable to protect itself, and is deploying defenses along both sides of the Xiangjiang River in an attempt to resist step by step, seeing that the situation has been defeated, and it is simply unable to look east to Jiangxi.

Feng Suqin is overjoyed, this is really good news!

"Xiao An'an, in your opinion, should we stay here as planned, or continue to go north and block the retreat of Nanchang Tartar?"

It is said that Feng Anmin is two years older than her, but with the identity of this young village master, the two are playmates since childhood.

"Miss, in my opinion, marching and fighting is still the first ...... of stability."

Feng Anmin is very cautious, he is not only the deputy battalion commander, but also the eldest bodyguard of the young lady.

Protecting the young lady, this is what the owner of the village repeatedly told at the beginning, so the safety of the young lady is the first in everything.

"Isn't this the Tartars powerless to attack? Are we just going to stay here and do nothing? ”

"However, we don't have a lot of people on hand......" Feng Anmin hesitated.

"Aren't there more than 3,000 people? You're also a special operator, why are you so cowardly? ”

Feng Suqin pursed her lips and said that the novel title of special combat team member was her pride.

"That'...... What is Miss going to do? ”

Feng Anmin couldn't resist her, so let's listen to the eldest lady's thoughts first.

"Come and see ......"

Feng Suqin spread out the map and pointed, "The top priority at the moment is naturally to outflank Nanchang and cut off the retreat of the Tartars...... However, I have another idea......"

At that moment, Feng Suqin said her idea......

Feng Anmin listened, but his face changed slightly, he frowned and said nothing, and after a while, he said in a deep voice:

"Miss, you are in danger, I'm afraid this is ...... Our troops are already insufficient. ”

"I'm called Yi Gao bold, okay...... All those who fight, with the right fit, with the odd victory, not surprising, how to win? Feng Suqin glanced at him fiercely, the art of war, do you understand.

"However, with a dignified formation, you can be invincible, in case the whole army of the Tartars retreats north, and collides head-on with ......" The heavy responsibility limits Feng Anmin's courage, in his heart, the safety of the young lady is the most important, there is no one.

"Jiao Dudu's army is approaching the city, and they dare to retreat with the whole army? Then it's not called retreat, it's a rout! Feng Suqin saw him so verbose, and gave him another blank look.

"That'...... Miss bring more people, I'm here, it's enough to bring a platoon. ”

"Long-winded, it's not much more expensive but more expensive than fine, just do it, you wait for me in Yongxiu, and I'll come later."

"Uh......"

……

The next day, Feng Suqin used the captured military horses to select 500 Ming troops to form a temporary cavalry, and together with her female soldier company, they formed a fast column and went straight to Nanchang along the southern foot of the Meiling Mountains.

Feng Anmin, on the other hand, left some soldiers and Ming soldiers to garrison Gao'an, and then took his first company and the remaining more than 2,000 Ming army foot soldiers all the way to the north, straight to Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture.

According to Feng Suqin's plan, after they conquered Fengxin, they would go north along the Luhe River, recovering Anyi and Yongxiu counties in Nankang Prefecture in turn along the way, and sending scouts to De'an County, Jiujiang Prefecture, completely blocking the land passage for the Qing army to flee north.

According to the previous experience, the Qing army's heavy troops were all in Nanchang, and it should not be difficult to receive these places all the way, and their real purpose was to occupy the main road first, and prepare for the next direct march into Jiujiang.

However, the more than 600 cavalry that Feng Suqin brought with him went straight behind the enemy in Nanchang, which meant that he was alone and deep, so Feng Anmin seemed worried.

Feng Suqin was confident, and took the only remaining female soldier company as the vanguard, and galloped all the way to the northeast along the southern foot of the Meiling Mountains.

Two miles behind, 500 cavalry of the Ming army were closely following, after all, they were newly formed cavalry, and they were rough in riding, so it was a little difficult to keep up with them.

More than 100 miles away, it only took a day and a half of effort, the next afternoon, the landmark building of Nanchang City, one of the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, Tengwang Pavilion, has been far away.

However, when he rushed to the river, he was taken aback when he saw the warships gathering on the river, the cannon on the opposite bank rumbling, and a large number of Qing troops coming ashore to attack Jiao Lian's camp.

Thank you for the reward of "The Other Side of the Heart"!
