Chapter 208: Jin Li's Calculation

At the moment of the great enemy, Jiao Lian's expression was grim, and his brain was spinning rapidly.

At this moment, he regretted a little that he had transferred the 2,000 Shenji battalion soldiers from the Ganjiang River, and he didn't know that once these 3,000 old-fashioned arquebusiers were dismantled, the tactics they had already practiced would not be able to be brought into play, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

Even if they saw that the threat on the bank of the Fuhe River was not great, it would be good if they could be transferred back to the Ganjiang River in time......

Jiao Lian patted his head vigorously and put away his remorse in time.

Now, instead of thinking about this, the most important thing is to react on the spot.

After a while, Jiao Lian turned over his horse and turned his head to order a general named Zhao Wu: "You go to the bank of the Fuhe River and transfer the two thousand Shenji battalions back, the Tartars over there will not be able to pass for a while and a half without a ferry, leaving a few hundred people enough." ”

"Yes!"

The pro-general Zhao Wu took the order and rode away.

Looking at Zhao Wu's back, Jiao Lian turned his head and said to Bai Ying in a deep voice: "You send someone to watch the captives, tie them all up, be sure to watch this line of defense, I will immediately rush to the riverside to support!" ”

Bai Ying was stunned when she heard this, and said with an anxious face: "Uncle, let my nephew go with me!" ”

"No, you can't be without someone to command here, it's your job to guard this place."

"Uncle,"

Bai Ying was unwilling, and begged urgently, "The green battalion soldiers here are vulnerable, it is enough to leave hundreds of horsemen here, or let your nephew go with you?" ”

"No! Don't underestimate the enemy, these green battalion soldiers are used to taking advantage of the fire to rob, don't look at them just now, if you start a good fight, people will go crazy, after all, they have thousands of people......"

"That'...... Please bring the musketeers, my nephew will be enough with the headquarters. Bai Yingyi gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay,"

Jiao Lian grinned, he knew that Bai Ying was worried about him, "Then you must be careful, and you must defend this place desperately!" ”

"Nephew understands! Uncle rest assured, nephew swears not to let go of a soldier from here! ”

Bai Ying clenched his fists and said with a straight face, he knew very well that once these thousands of green battalion soldiers rushed over, the empty battalion would really be attacked on all sides.

Jiao Lian nodded, smiled bitterly, turned his head and shouted, "Pro-barracks, follow me!" ”

……

At this moment, on the side of the Ganjiang River, the Qing Army's Eight Banners with Red Flag Banners, Gushan Zhenjin, are standing in the stern of the ship, looking at the battle situation on the shore with a calm face.

There are more than 10,000 people in the department of Jin Li, who were originally stationed in Anqing Mansion in Jiangnan Province north of the Yangtze River, and not only have more than 5,000 iron cavalry, but also more than 3,000 foot soldiers, as well as a heavy artillery battalion of more than 1,000 people, and a large and small naval division, with hundreds of large and small warships, and their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the Manchu Eight Banners, which is the main force of the Qing army's river defense.

Because Nikan, the king of Jingjin County in Hunan, asked for help, Jin Li was ordered to lead the whole army up the river and prepare to go to Dongting Lake to reinforce Nikan.

King Nikan of Jingjin County, because more than half a month ago, the forward Belle Tunqi was ambushed in Wugang Prefecture, not only died in a battle, but also lost more than 20,000 elites, causing Yongzhou, Baoqing and other state capitals to fall in a blink of an eye.

Nikan was shocked, not only repeatedly reported to Hong Chengchou Feishu, but also rushed to Beijing for 800 miles, and directly asked the Qing court for help.

Emperor Fulin of Shunzhi was inconvenient to skip the command, but he was concerned about the safety of Nikan, so he personally ordered Jin Li to join the Jiangnan war, and at the same time, he did not forget to order him to accept the temporary control of the five provinces through the five provinces of Hong Chengchou.

Unexpectedly, not long after Jin Li left, Hong Chengchou, who got the news, sent an order, asking him to turn the road into Poyang Lake after arriving in Jiujiang, first relieve the siege of Nanchang, and after repelling the Ming army, join forces with Chen Tai, and see the opportunity to reinforce Hunan.

Jin Li didn't look down on Hong Chengchou, and he didn't take his military orders very seriously, and where was the main point of the battle situation, and it was not his concern, but now Nikan and Chen Tai were asking for help at the same time, but he didn't dare to abandon Chen Tai and go to rescue Nikan first.

Although Nikan was one of the three kings of the powerful government, and it was not something he could afford to offend, Chen Tai's family background in Nanchang was also very prominent, and his grandfather Yidu was the founding minister of the Later Jin Dynasty and the confidant of the wild boar Pinurhachi.

And his aunt Niu Colu, is the original wife of the first emperor Taiji, the first Dafujin, after Huang Taiji ascended the throne, she was named the concubine, but she was not established as the queen because she did not leave the prince.

As a general of the Han army who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty very early, Jin Li was able to sit in the position of the owner of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, thanks to his good skill in drilling camps, whether it was Nikan or Chen Tai, not only could he not be offended, but he could also become a backer if he got it right.

After some calculation, he decided to wave his army into Poyang Lake, after all, the Ming army in Hunan had not yet arrived at the city of Changsha, and Nanchang was already in danger.

After keeping Nanchang, he not only sold Chen Tai a big favor, but also took the land route from Nanchang to Changsha, in fact, it was closer than the Yangtze River waterway, and if his main cavalry galloped to the aid of the starry night, it is expected that he would not miss the appointment.

After sailing into the Ganjiang River from Poyang Lake and arriving at the Nanchang wharf, Jin Li sent 3,000 foot soldiers into the city to assist in the defense, and personally took the remaining elite cavalry and heavy artillery to go up the Ganjiang River by boat, and soon came to the flank of the Ming army camp.

As soon as he arrived at the temporary wharf of the Ganjiang River, Jin Li immediately ordered the warship to dock, and after a burst of random gunfire dispersed the Ming army by the wharf, the cavalry of the brigade immediately went ashore to attack, and at the same time ordered the heavy artillery battalion to quickly set up artillery to bombard the Ming army camp.

The Ming army stationed next to the dock was only 1,000 people, and when they saw this, they had to rely on the wooden barricades to defend themselves layer by layer to resist the cavalry attack, and at the same time send people to ride horses to report to various places.

It is a pity that more than 1,000 people had to divide their troops to defend six or seven wooden fortifications, which could only delay the charge of the Qing cavalry, but could not prevent the bombardment of artillery fire at all.

It didn't take long for the wooden fortresses to be destroyed, and the Ming soldiers who suffered heavy casualties had to risk their lives to resist and retreat step by step.

At present, only the last wooden fortress outside the fence of the big camp is left, because it is far from the shore, beyond the range of the Qing army's artillery fire and is still in the hands of the Ming army for the time being, and most of the hundreds of surviving people have also withdrawn to the big camp, relying on the fence to shoot outward, barely blocking the repeated impact of the Qing cavalry.

Seeing this, the Qing army was not slow to move, the ship's artillery gradually stopped bombarding, and a group of artillery guards were hurriedly moving the artillery to the shore, only to bombard again after re-establishing their positions.

Jin Li listened to the faint sound of artillery under Nanchang City in the north, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, it seemed that the Ming army had not yet reacted and was still concentrating on attacking the city.

"Humph! As long as you don't run, Lao Tzu can hold your ass! ”

Jin Li snorted coldly, and said lightly to the generals beside him, "Order, the main force of the cavalry will suspend the attack and rest for a while." ”

Judging from the strength of the Ming army's defense, there were not many defenders in the camp, and it was not too late to attack after all the artillery was moved to the shore and the camp fence was smashed.

At the same time, Jin Li did not forget to order scouts to be sent everywhere to reconnoiter to prevent the main force of the Ming army from slipping away from under the city of Nanchang.

Today, he wants to destroy the most Ming troops at the lowest cost......

However, perhaps it was Jin Li's order that saved the Ming army, and Jiao Lian, who came from a flying horse more than ten miles away, rushed behind the Qing army, the cavalry group of the Qing army was resting, and the large camp was fortunately not yet broken.

……

Jiao Lian, who stopped at the horse, looked at the black Qing army warship in the river, his eyes were deep, and his expression was extremely grim......

At a glance, those Qing soldiers were all dragging big pigtails, and it seemed that they were all brave real Tartars, especially behind the thousands of cavalry, there were dozens of large-caliber heavy artillery pieces that were being set up on the bank of the river.

We must try to destroy the artillery positions of the Qing army, otherwise the fence of the camp will be breached in a short time, but there are only 600 personal soldiers behind him, and the three teams of new musketeers have not yet arrived because they have no horses.

A fierce battle is inevitable!
