Seeing that the Tartar Iron Cavalry was diverging to the big tent of the Chinese army and killing the naval camp, after thinking about it, Yang Xuan said: "Our army uses the Naval Army as the food route, and the grain baggage is mostly on the boat, and there is not much grain and grass in the water village, so Chen Huaixi and others can drive the boat full of grain and grass to the river, and when the Tartar Iron Cavalry rushes into the camp, they will use naval artillery to attack, and they will definitely not make the other party feel good." ”

Seeing that he was ready to give up the water army camp and protect the big tent of the Chinese army, Qian Bangqi, the capital supervisor, was quite reluctant in his heart, shook his head and said: "My lord, a batch of grain came yesterday, about more than 3,000 loads, it would be a pity if the Tartars were allowed to destroy it." ”

Gao Wengui, a senior staff officer next to him, flashed out and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, in this troubled world, there is everything with Liang, and the last general is willing to go to the water village, no matter what, I can't let the Tartars wantonly destroy the food and grass of our water army." ”

Wu Yanghu, the commander of the army, also admonished: "Lord Wang, in order to ensure victory on the battlefield, these three thousand loads of grain are certainly not to be feared, but there are many Tartar iron horsemen, and the momentum is very great.

If our army can disperse its forces, the pressure on the Tartar Iron Cavalry will inevitably be greatly reduced. ”

At this time, Yang Xuanfang made up his mind, pulled out his sword and handed it to Gao Wengui, ordering him to lead a cavalry brigade to rush to the naval army Dazhai to dispatch opportunities and try to ensure the safety of grain and grass.

Gao Wengui led a large group of cavalry to rush to the water army village, the Tartar iron cavalry was close at hand, found Chen Huaixi, handed the sword to him to watch, and said: "General Chen, the prince ordered the last general to come to help guard the water army camp, and no matter what, the Tartar iron cavalry must be entangled."

General, these 3,000 loads of grain are a small matter, if the Tartar iron cavalry is allowed to raid successfully, they will definitely immediately besiege the big tent of the Chinese army, so that our volunteer army is also in danger. ”

Wiping the beads of sweat on his face, Chen Huaixi nodded and said: "This general and the prince have known each other in danger, and now that the great cause of the Eastern Expedition is about to be accomplished, how can it fall short?"

I have already made up my mind, and now I have ordered He Dou, Tan Wen and others to drive large and small boats into the river, and I will swear to be with these three thousand loads of grain and grass. ”

Gao Wengui nodded, pointed to the Tartar iron cavalry that was gathering in front, and said, "The general can do this, of course the last general will not dare to fall behind."

Now that the Tartar Iron Riders are coming, the last general is ready to lead the dozens of Iron Horsemen around him to fight with the Tartars, in order to buy time for the adults. ”

Chen Huaixi was quite moved, patted the other party's shoulder, turned to everyone and said: "Brothers, the Tartars are brutal, the last time they entered Sichuan, they didn't even let go of women, children and children, and they had no humanity.

Now the Tartars want to besiege my water village and burn my grain, brothers, in this troubled world, one more load of grain can give one more life, brothers, the Tartars want to burn our grain, do you agree? ”

The crowd shouted and swore to fight the Tartars to the death.

Chen Huaixi immediately personally led 500 brothers to garrison the Zhaimen, and ordered the other brothers to carry grain onto the ship.

Zhengbai Banner Melle Ezhen Subbai led nearly 1,000 horsemen all the way to the fast horse, and rushed to the water army camp for half an hour, and saw from a distance that the water village was in chaos, dozens of ships were moored on the shore, and the volunteers were panicked to move bags of grain to the boat.

Seeing that the other party was so flustered, Su Bai was quite proud, brandished his horsewhip and said to everyone: "Brothers, the auxiliary king said that the volunteers are short of food, and they dream of rushing into Hubei to grab food at the time of the autumn harvest.

Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we burn their grain and grass, the other side will inevitably be in chaos if they have no food, and they will definitely return in vain. ”

Duoduo is the owner of the Manchurian white flag, and is the brother of the regent of the imperial father, Dorgon, the two have a very good relationship, since the regent of Dolgon, he has long dominated the white flag to fight abroad, and his prestige is very high.

Now hearing Su Bai and others say this, everyone cheered loudly, everyone shouted, and rushed towards the water village.

Just rushed out of hundreds of steps, suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves in the east, Su Baida hurriedly turned his head to look, saw the dust flying in the east, and saw dozens of horsemen rushing from a distance.

Su Bai was shocked, expecting that the other party would definitely send a cavalry association to the rescue in order to protect the water village, and immediately led the entire Jiala to meet him, hoping to defeat the opponent's reinforcements first, and then attack the water village not too late.

The two sides got closer and closer, about 300 paces, when the other party suddenly turned his horse's head and fled, disappearing beyond the hillside.

There was a discussion around Niu Lu, many people thought that this was just a suspicious soldier of the other party, and now that the prince was leading the white flag to besiege the big tent of the Chinese army of the volunteers, how many reinforcements could Yang Xuan send?

Su Bai was annoyed for a while, and he was too cautious, so he immediately decided to leave a Niu Lu to continue monitoring, and personally led the main force to turn the horse's head to attack the naval army.

Everyone beat their horses and galloped wildly, just when everyone was approaching the naval army, the naval guns on the river rang out, it turned out that they saw the Tatar cavalry approaching the naval Dazhai, He Dou and others led the five Jingjiang-class gunboats to cruise along the river and open fire, aiming at the Tartar iron cavalry outside the mountain gate and firing artillery.

Most of the Jingjiang-class gunboats were equipped with large Franc machine guns, and there were many artillery pieces, and the artillery firing at the same time was very intensive, and for a while, iron balls continued to fall from the sky, and those who were shot were either killed or injured.

Even if it is not hit by the iron ball, the iron ball that falls to the ground and rolls around is quite threatening, as long as it touches the horse's foot, the whole war horse will be scrapped on the spot.

The Tartar Iron Cavalry was in a panic, and Su Bai shouted loudly, charging forward desperately despite the continuous falling missiles on his head, but his generals were not so lucky.

Everyone finally rushed to the gate of the water village, and several walls had already been formed around the gate of the water village, and Chen Huaixi led five hundred sailors to hide outside the wall, facing the Tartar cavalry that rushed to kill.

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Bai's mouth, and he rushed to the front, just ten steps away from the gate of the village, and threw a burning fire bottle over.

It was the middle of July, the weather was dry, and the trees were very easy to catch fire, so Chen Huaixi led everyone to hide behind the wall, although they resisted desperately, but there were bursts of flames in front of them.

In this way, the stalemate between the two sides was less than half a pillar of incense, and it was difficult to defend because of the fire at the walled gate, so Chen Huaixi had to lead the naval army to retreat to the shore.

Su Bai led the Eight Banners of the Tartars to rush into the water army camp, everyone raised the burning torch and kept setting fire, and for a while, the entire water army camp fell into a sea of fire.

The Tartar cavalry laughed wildly one by one, and Niu Lu Zhenvarka felt quite strange, in this troubled era, it is reasonable to say that food is as expensive as life, how can the other party give up the grain baggage so easily, and retreat a little without resistance?

After a closer look, Fang found that the various camps were empty and there was no food?

Varkha was shocked, Su Bai was also quite strange, and when he was puzzled, the soldiers in front came to report that the grain was piled up by the port, and Chen Huaixi led the main force to retreat to the port to defend it.

Su Bai was shocked, and hurriedly blew the horn to beckon everyone to kill the port, and saw from a distance that the volunteers controlled the two slopes of the beachhead, and the grain was piled up on the beachhead, and everyone was desperately carrying the grain to the ship.

Everyone beat their horses and killed them on the beachhead, but at this time, Chen Huaixi and others had already set up fortifications on the beachhead, and they kept releasing their guns in the face of the Tartar cavalry that rushed over.

Su Bai felt particularly heartwarmed, unlike at the beginning, because it was too close to the beachhead, it was already within the range of the No. 3 Furlong cannon of the Flying Tiger Battleship and the large Furlong cannon of the Jingjiang-class gunboat, and the artillery of the Volunteers was denser than in the past.

Cannonballs continued to fall from the sky on the sprint road, and the Tartar Iron Cavalry dodged left and right and finally burned to the shore, but the other side had already used the car formation to build temporary fortifications, and faced the Tartar Iron Cavalry who rushed over, desperately resisted.

Seeing the soldiers around him constantly being hit by artillery, Su Bai felt that his heart was dripping blood, but he still insisted on charging desperately, not for anything else, just because food was as expensive as life in this troubled world.

When the two sides were fighting, they paid a huge price of nearly 100 casualties, and they were about to break through the opponent's car formation, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind them.

Su Bai was unimpressed at first, until there was a panicked scream behind him, and he turned his head to look, and saw dozens of horsemen coming from behind, everyone brandishing riding spears with spurs and stabbing at the unprepared iron horsemen.

Su Bai was furious, and personally led a Niu Lu to kill and gallop away, when the good horses were staggered, who knew that the other party raised the riding spear in his hand, and the gunfire was loud for a while, and some Tartar iron horsemen were caught off guard and fell off the horse.

Su Bai was annoyed and angry, and led everyone to fight, but the strange thing was that the other party did not entangle, and quickly left the battlefield and fled into the distance.

Annoyed, Subhai ordered Varkha to lead his men in pursuit, while he himself turned back again to charge at the opposing chariots, but the Volunteers took advantage of the gap to readjust their deployment and strengthen the beachhead again. Unlike at the beginning, when the naval camp was worried about the enemy's flank breakthrough, the naval army now occupies a small area on the beachhead, and besieges the city in an arc with chariots, fences, and trenches, and the infantry hides behind the chariots, trenches, and fences to resist the enemy, while large and small ships use naval guns to support them from a distance.

This is the famous Cold Moon Array in history, when Liu Yu's Northern Expedition faced tens of thousands of northern cavalry across the river, set up this kind of Cold Moon position on the beachhead, and used strong bows and crossbows to defeat the northern cavalry.

The volunteers who retreated to the gate and retreated to the beachhead had no intention of forming a cold moon formation, and now they no longer needed to worry about being outflanked by the rear of the flanks in the face of the Tartar iron cavalry.

Although Subavarka and others were brave and good at fighting, their military knowledge was limited, and when they saw that the volunteer army was suppressed in a corner, they thought that victory was in sight, and led their troops to charge forward.

The volunteers who retreated to the beachhead fought with their backs against the water, and there was no way to retreat, and in the face of the Tartar iron cavalry charge, they first hid behind the chariot formation and fired continuously.

Different from the parallel formation, due to the formation of a residual arc on the beachhead, the strength of the troops increased greatly under the same straight line length, and in the face of the Tartar iron cavalry charge, the fire was more intense, and after a single shot, the Tartar iron cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and it was difficult to break into the formation.

Even when a few iron horsemen burst into the formation, the soldiers in the formation rushed forward with shouts, surrounded them, and fired at close range or cut off the legs of their horses.

The battlefield was full of flames, the two sides rushed back and forth, seeing the riders around him constantly falling, Su Bai felt blood dripping from his heart, and while riding aimlessly forward, he shouted and charged forward.

But the riders around him kept falling, and some of them retreated more timidly, and Su Bai was furious, and was about to swing his saber and slash at the coward, when suddenly the horse was shot and the horse stumbled, and even the man and the horse fell in front of the position.

Su Bai struggled to get up from the horse, and when he looked around, there was a river of blood around him, and the neighing of the wounded war horse was mixed with the painful wails of the soldiers who had fallen off the war horse.

Su Bai felt embarrassed, and when he saw that the opponent was eager to try and prepare to kill, he felt that the general trend had gone, and turned around and fled.

When everyone saw that the Lord was going to be like this, they had no intention of fighting, and everyone retreated.

At this time, Chen Huaixi led everyone to counterattack, and actually drove the Tartar iron cavalry out of the water army camp and recaptured the position.

Su Bai led 200 remnants of the defeated army to rush back to the Chinese army's tent, and the two sides were fighting for it at this time.

Duoduo's whole body was covered in sweat and panting, and the Manchurian inlaid white flag, Mongolian white flag, and Mongolian inlaid white flag under his command were even more damaged and unsustainable.
