"Wan Sheng!" Chapter 615 of the Standing Force has reached about 4,000 people, and it seems that it has received reinforcements from the Hebu Department who fled from the Jiaodong area. After the increase in troops, the Qing army seemed to have a little confidence in attacking the marching army of the people on the east bank, of course, they were not attacking the main force of the 6th Army on the east bank, but those logistics convoys and mule and horse teams carrying a large amount of war materials.

Although there were naval transport supplies, the military team still carried a staggering amount of war supplies with them, such as water, weapons, ammunition, medicine, etc. The supplies were carried by about 200 east-coast heavy freight wagons, 800 captured carts, and about 2ooo Korean ponies, and 75oo (25oo men had been transferred to Dengju) marched cautiously under the escort of a large number of spearmen of the 6th Army. Whenever the enemy cavalry approached, the scouts of the security team cruising around the periphery would give early warning, and then the soldiers would skillfully cage the pack horses, and the convoy would circle around to form a closed car formation.

The edge of the chariot formation was guarded by spearmen, and the musketeers fired, and the Qing cavalry could only be beaten and could not fight back. Along the way, the Qing army tried to attack the convoy several times, but each time they were repelled by the musketeers, and dozens of corpses were left behind. After repeated see-sawing many times, seeing that the army on the east bank was about to approach the county seat of Changyi, the Qing army seemed to be unwilling to always "watch" without any success, this time it concentrated more than 1,000 horsemen to attack at the junction of the two car formations, but it was still repulsed. And because the Qing army retreated a little slower this time, it was seized by two light 6th Army guns that rushed over and bombarded it violently, and immediately left seventy or eighty corpses in front and back.

After the Qing army was repulsed, they seemed to feel that there was no chance of following any longer. And sleeping in the open for so long in the picnic. It was not easy to replenish, and the mount under the crotch was also tired, and it was afraid that it would be a loss to follow it, so after some discussion, he roared away. I don't know where to rest.

After following the annoying flies around them. On September 3, the East Coast Army arrived on the outskirts of Changyi County. Maybe it's because of the strict orders of Luckedhun. The small Changyi County, which was only more than 2,000 paces around the city and had no more than 1,000 soldiers, refused to surrender. But what's the use of this, Chen Zhilong's department, who was in the vanguard, came on the field again, and after the east coast artillery that cooperated with the operation blasted open the gap, they swarmed up, and captured this dilapidated small county town lightly. The Qing court officials captured in the county were naturally seeking benevolence at this moment. All the men were handed over to Chen Zhilong's department to be beheaded, and the female dependents were distributed to the ten officers and soldiers who took the lead in breaking through the city in Chen's department to boost morale.

On September 4, the scout team, which had been cruising outside recently, finally came the latest news that Luck Dehun had personally led 2,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners into Qingzhou City, apparently waiting for the convergence of Li Shuotai, the chief soldier of Binzhou coastal defense. In addition, news came from the south. The remnants of the Qingjiaozhou Town Army have recently gone north, and have now passed through Gaomi County, and the next move of the department is unknown, perhaps to go to Qingzhou to meet Luckdehun.

After getting this information. Mo Ming decisively ordered the whole army to turn south and go straight to the front line of Anqiu and Gaomi. At the beginning, Jiaozhou, Gaomi, Anqiu and other counties were taken by the people on the east coast, and countless people and materials were plundered, and the maps drawn by the staff officers were also relatively comprehensive. Since this is the case, then take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Qing army has not been gathered, and the whole army will go south to eat this Qing army first with superior forces and superior combat power. The Qing army did not have many mobile troops in Shandong, and this force of 10,000 people was defeated, which was really a heavy blow to Luckedhun in the short term.

Yizhou Town lost most of the loss in Yangzhou and Dengzhou Town in the south, and if Jiaozhou Town had another bad pool, then only Binzhou Town would be left at hand. Li Shutai of Binzhou Town brought at most 15,000 people to support Qingzhou, because he had to leave enough troops to guard the place, and everyone was really scared by the elusive and fast maneuvering style of play of the people on the east coast.

On September 8, after continuous reconnaissance and adjustment of the marching route, the army on the east bank finally blocked the 10,000-strong army in the town of Qingjiaozhou, which was slow-moving, on the bank of Weishui. Excited, Mo Ming decisively ordered the attack, and Mao Desheng was in charge of the front enemy's command, he put Chen Zhilong's department (which had been expanded to more than 5,000 people) in the front of the middle, Qin Shangxing's department on the left, Zhai Cong's department on the right, and the cavalry troops swam beside them, waiting for the fighters to appear.

Behind these motley troops, there were two complete arrays of 5,000 people, with artillery and musketeers mixed in, which were the descendants of the eastern coast with rich combat experience. Second Lieutenant Zamparini, who is now a senior officer of the 1O4 Company, also stood in the array and watched the "performance" of the two sides: on the one hand, the Jiaozhou Town Army, which was dominated by local troops in Shandong, included 6,000 soldiers and 4,000 auxiliary soldiers, with a variety of weapons and equipment; On the other hand, there are 10,000 troops mainly composed of Chen Zhilong's troops and Qin Shangxing's two servant soldiers, of which there are more than 5,000 Chen troops and nearly 4,000 soldiers, and the equipment is similar to that of the Jiaozhou Town Army, but their combat power from Shaanxi and Ningxia seems to be higher. In addition, the troops of Zhai Congge and others are about 45oo people, all of whom are soldiers, wearing yellow clothes, wearing big caps, and leather armor (veterans and officers have iron armor), and the weapons are also standard equipment, which is relatively unified, and the appearance looks quite good.

"I'm betting this battle won't be over in two hours." Gao Shan, the deputy company commander standing on Zamparini's right hand, said softly, "There are a lot of veterans among those Qin people, and their combat effectiveness is okay, and the combat effectiveness of Zhai and Qin's second divisions has also improved rapidly after the training in the past two years, and they will not suffer too much when fighting against the ordinary Qing army's green battalion." And we are familiar with the Jiaozhou Town Army, Ke Yongsheng raised three or four thousand troops with the old foundation of hundreds of Han Eight Banners, and we were all defeated at that time. Now that his army has been flooded with more than 20,000 people, I feel that it is easier to deal with than before. How about it, bet or not, Lao Tzu knows that you grabbed a box of jewelry in Yangzhou last time and hid it, so I bet on the beads inside, and don't want anything else, how about it? I'll give you four hundred dollars if you lose, how? ”

In the past two years, the various units of the Qing army in Shandong have been swelling, and there is no way, the strength is tight, so they can only recruit bandits on the spot and force strong men to enlist in the army, but this has also caused a rapid decline in combat effectiveness, after all, it will take time to turn these new soldiers into qualified soldiers with a certain combat effectiveness. In fact, it is not only the Qing army that is like this. At this time, how could the Ming army and the Shun army not be like this? For example, the more than 40,000 people of Li Guo and Gao Yigong's subordinates, who came back from Shaanxi and Gansu, were originally elite men who were accustomed to fighting, but after pulling many strong men in Hubei and Hunan, the combat effectiveness of this unit that flew to 200,000 people was much more unbearable than before. In the confrontation with Kong Youde, Shen Zhixiang and others, he often did not take advantage of anything. Even after many tug-of-wars. The Shun army, which was inferior to others, gradually began to be at a disadvantage.

"Don't bet." Zamparini was in a good position to be able to see something ahead. His current Qing army seems to lack cavalry. Of course, there was no artillery, and at this moment, under the bombardment of some long-distance artillery from the east coast, the formation had been slightly shaken, which made him choose not to participate in this gamble that must be lost.

"The combat effectiveness of these Qing troops is not very high. Actually, I don't think we need to move, just let the artillerymen keep dropping shells on their heads. They can't stand the shells that fall overhead, so they either run away or rush up to fight in the face of artillery fire, in short, they are extremely passive, and this battle will be lost. Seeing that no one was paying attention, Zamparini whispered.

Gao Shan sighed regretfully. It seems that he can't fool the string of beads. After that, neither of them spoke again, carefully observing the situation ahead through the cracks. There were 20,000 men who had already begun to fight, and the battlefield was covered with smoke and dust, and it was difficult to see clearly. I could only vaguely see that the 2,500 men of Zhai Cong's army, which was deployed on the right flank, had been advancing, which proved that the progress on the battlefield was good.

Twenty minutes later, the artillery had already stopped firing, this was to prevent accidental damage. Zamparini carefully felt the progress ahead, he now Zhai Cong's soldiers had already burst out of two cheers, and the more than 5,000 people of Chen Zhilong's division in the middle were killed, the whole formation seemed to be higher than Zhai Cong's front, it seemed that they had pressed back the Qing army opposite.

More than twenty minutes later, there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves on the left flank of the battlefield, and Zamparini closed his eyes: the cavalry was dispatched! It seems that the formation of the Qing army has been unforgivably shaken, and perhaps someone in the rear has fled, and at this time the cavalry rushed up to expand the results of the battle.

When the last rays of the sun shone on the battlefield, the slaughtering battle finally came to an end. 85oo soldiers against 6ooo soldiers, the morale and combat effectiveness of the opponent were completely destroyed, and with the help of cavalry and artillery, Zamparini really couldn't think of a reason why the Qing army could avoid defeat.

In this battle, which lasted for more than an hour, the remnants of tens of thousands of Qing troops in Jiaozhou Town were all submerged. Among them, more than 2,000 were killed on the spot, more than 2,000 were killed by the cavalry's knife on the way out, more than 1,000 were drowned in Weishui, and more than 4,000 were captured. And more importantly, after the collapse of this more important mobile force of the Qing army on the ground in Shandong at this time, it will be more difficult for Luckedhun's platoon to arrange the troops.

On September 1o, the East Bank Army, which had rested for a day by the Weishui River, was again set up camp. Mo Ming didn't care about the Qing army that was urgently mobilizing, but on the contrary, he encouraged his subordinates and said: "With him coming a few ways, I will only go all the way." Tens of thousands of Qing troops in a single way, we don't have to pay attention to it at all. ”

The Qing court was defeated in Shandong, but it was not very optimistic elsewhere. In the first half of the year, He Zhenbu, the former general of the Shun army, who had originally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, suddenly rebelled and led the army from Hanzhong to Shaanxi, and the Qing army was in a hurry. At this time, the area around Shaanxi was the rear of the Qing army, and it was a safe area in their eyes, and a large number of surrendered troops were transferred out of Shaanxi to fight in Hubei and Jiangnan, so the rear was relatively empty. This time He Zhen made a rebellion, which really cost the Qing court's life, and the troops that were originally scheduled to conquer Sichuan were urgently mobilized, and first extinguished the tens of thousands of people in He Zhen's department who were killed from Hanzhong.

As for the Hubei battlefield, because the people on the east coast were attracted to the Eight Banners, Han Army and Green Battalion, which were originally scheduled to be transferred to Wuchang, they were all gone, and the progress of Kong Youde and others there was extremely slow. Jingzhou City changed hands several times, although Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and others won repeatedly, but they were never able to achieve a decisive victory, and the shape is still not optimistic.

All in all, the Qing army is now a triumphant song on the battlefield of Nanming, Longwu has been destroyed, and the Zheng family has surrendered, which is really proud and comfortable; In the Shandong, Shaanxi, and Huguang battlefields, the Qing army encountered considerable difficulties, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while. Under such a delicate situation, the situation of the Qing army sweeping away the leaves like an autumn wind since 1644 has been significantly contained, and the minds of some generals who had been forced to surrender to the Qing court in the early days suddenly became active.
