In order to achieve a realistic effect, on this day, the various departments left Shunqing Mansion City one after another, and the forwards of Guo Chonglie's department even arrived in Xichong. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Jiye, the governor of the Great Western Army, who had been paying close attention to the movements of the Loyal and Righteous Army, was shocked, and on the one hand, he ordered the deputy general to block the attack at Jinshanpu, and on the other hand, he sent a fast horse to Zhang Dingguo in Tongchuan Prefecture to report the emergency.

Wang Jiye was so panicked, mainly because of the Ming Dynasty national highway, from Beijing, through Hebei, Henan, Shaanxi, into Sichuan, through Langzhong, Xichong, Yuxian (Tongchuan Prefecture) to Chengdu, the Ming Dynasty national highway passed through Xichong County.

Jinshanpu is a small post station on the Ming Dynasty government-level highway, from Shunqing City (today's Nanchong) through Jinshanpu northbound more than 30 miles just intersecting with this national highway.

If the Loyal and Righteous Army goes north to capture Xichong County, this national highway will be cut off at the waist, and if the Great Western Army wants to withdraw to Shaanxi, it will not be able to take the Ming Dynasty national highway, but can only take the ordinary road.

In view of the importance of Xichong's strategic location, Wang Jiye arranged for a deputy general to lead more than 1,000 people to garrison on Phoenix Mountain next to Jinshanpu.

Like the local tyrants, the vast majority of them are coerced people, and there are only more than 400 people who can really fight, and most of them are malnourished and yellow-skinned.

In this way, a little relieved for a long time, the Malay newspaper was reported that more than 100 warships came from the downstream Xihe River, and its front was only more than ten miles away from Xichong County.

Wang Jiye ordered the city gate to be closed and sent soldiers and horses to guard the whole city, and there was no time and energy to pay attention to the Jinshanpu battle for a while.

Since the occupation of Xichong County by the Great Western Army, due to the instigation of the landlords and gentry and scholars, and the fact that everyone could not eat enough at all, although there were heavy troops stationed in the countryside, some powerful people appeared in the countryside at intervals, and they colluded with the Loyal and Righteous Army in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the Great Western Army.

After seeing that the Great Western Army in the city had been prepared, the Loyal and Righteous Army outside the city camped ten miles south of the city to block the retreat of the Jinshan Paved Western Army.

Wang Jiye complained bitterly, but he did not dare to send troops to attack.

The loyal and righteous army often sent a small number of soldiers and horses to lure the enemy, and then took advantage of its unpreparedness to press the whole army to win a complete victory.

Now there are very few soldiers and horses in Xichong County, if the army is sent to attack the plan is annihilated, it is still second, if it is taken advantage of by the loyal army to occupy Xichong County, cut off the Ming Dynasty, this national highway is the real big crime.

The strength of the Jinshanpu defenders was originally very weak, and now when they heard that the back road was cut off, the morale of the whole army was even lower.

Such a gap was opened, and the loyal and righteous army drove straight in, occupying Jinshanpu, the main traffic artery, in only two days, and Guo Chonglie led the minister to drive straight into Xichong City.

Hearing that the loyal and righteous army stormed Xichong County, looking at the map in front of him, Zhang Dingguo was quite embarrassed, last year's grain harvest failed, the armies lacked food, and the war horses no longer dared to feed food, and lost more fat, which affected the mobility of the Great Western Army.

The soldiers of all departments now have two meals a day, everyone drinks gruel every day, puts some picnics, many people are skinny, and some even have vegetables.

Now the morale of the Onishi Army is low, and there are dozens of deserters in each battalion, and if the troops are sent out to fight now, even if they win, the exiles who have been captured will surely flee a lot.

However, the strategic location of Xichong was very important, and after pondering for a long time, Bai Wenxuan led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to help, and he led his own army to follow.

Seeing that Bai Wenxuan led his troops to kill, Guo Chonglie saw that the goal had been achieved and led the army to retreat south.

Seeing the retreat of the loyal and righteous army to the south, Bai Wenxuan led his troops to pursue, and encountered three infantry regiments and a cavalry regiment led by Yang Xuan near Phoenix Mountain.

Everyone asked to turn around and fight again, Yang Xuan thought that the purpose of the exercise was achieved, and he was even more worried that the Great Western Army would temporarily set up an ambush, so he left a battalion of soldiers and horses to garrison Phoenix Mountain, and led the rest of the troops to slowly retreat to Shunqing City.

After returning to Shunqing City, after a short rest, Yang Xuan also commanded the naval army and the four regiments of soldiers and horses to approach Tongnan County in the south of Tongchuan Prefecture.

On April 9, Wang Shuji led his troops to approach the Xiaowan ferry north of the Fujiang River, and Yang Wei, the governor of the Great Western Army, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to defend the ferry.

On the morning of April 10, Chen Huaixi led the navy to kill, and while letting go, he rushed upstream, and set fire boats straight to the dock, and the pier was in flames.

The high ground around the wharf was even more miserable, and it was shelled by the navy one after another, and it was too late to organize the rescue of soldiers and horses.

The navy currently has 2 Flying Tiger warship brigades, 5 sampan boat brigades, and 5 transport brigades, and is now shelling the pier and the surrounding heights.

At this time, although the artillery was not very lethal, it looked very terrifying, and the lead flew into the air and then fell down several meters away like rain.

The officers and men of the Great Western Army were quite afraid of firearms, and when they saw more than 30 ships appearing on the river, they heard the sound of cannons, and they saw that lead was constantly falling from the sky, and everyone fled one after another.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Shuji led his troops to rush up to the hill, and after a fierce battle for half a day, they occupied Xiaowan Ferry and captured Yang Wei, the governor of the Great Western Army.

Zhang Wenxiu, the general of the Funan of the Great Western Army in the south of the Yangtze River, saw that the loyal and righteous naval army had arrived, and urgently ordered Wang Fuchen, the right governor of the upstream naval army, to lead his troops to help.

Originally, the Great Western Army also had a naval army, and the main force of its naval army was mainly on the Min River and the Yangtze River, but since Zeng Ying's troops occupied Chongqing last year, the Great Western Army's naval army was completely cut off, so on the Jialing River and on the Fujiang River, the strength of the Great Western Army's naval army was very weak.

Last year, the Loyal and Righteous Army was defeated by the Navy, and after learning from the pain, Liu Wenxiu decided to form a Navy, and now there are more than 100 warships, which are equipped with ramming angles, which are quite fierce.

The Onishi Army and the Navy came over, Chen Huaixi was also quite flustered, this era was mostly a connecting war, but the adults asked to kill and injure the other party through artillery, through earth-shaking thunder, and through bird guns.

Nowadays, the Flying Tiger warship is equipped with 4 large Franc machines and 4 small Franc machines, and the sampan ship is equipped with two small Franc machines, and the actual combat effect is not known.

Seeing the navy of the Great Western Army going down the river and killing overwhelmingly from the upstream, Chen Huaixi ordered everyone to fill all the shells with gunpowder and lead, leaving a small part to operate the cannons, and most of them rowed boats and rushed up against the current.

The gunners kept igniting the guns, and used more scattered bullets in the water, and when a shell went down, it fell overwhelmingly, and there were falling lead everywhere in a radius of four or five meters.

The lead that falls in the river has no effect, but if it falls on the boat, there are countless of them, and many people jump into the water to avoid the lead in order to escape for their lives.

Some of those who escaped slowly were mostly hit by lead, and the whole person was covered in blood, which was unbearable.
