The camp of the Jingnan Domain, the king's tent.

There are ornate furnishings, fine porcelain, and beautiful maidens.

Geng Jimao sat in the center of the main seat, and the gold-inlaid armor was supported on the wooden frame at the back, exuding full pride.

In the absence of Liandecheng, the army in the tent will be headed by Xu Chenggong, the commander of the left wing of the Jing Domain, and Xu Erxian, the commander of the right wing of the Ping Domain, as well as more than a dozen deputy generals of the Green Battalion.

Geng Jimao waved a piece of paper excitedly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the great rebellion in the southwest, Sun Kewang and Li Ding's civil war, Sun Kewang was defeated, and he has presented a surrender table to Changsha Governor Hong. ”

"Lord Wang, this is really great news!"

Geng Jimao laughed loudly, "The remnants of the Ming Dynasty are just a remote projectile land in the southwest, the civil war will not stop all day long, and the death of the country is just around the corner!" ”

The two countries of Ming and Tartar, although the Ming State is weak, but the orthodoxy is related, and the resistance is particularly tenacious, and it cannot be killed no matter how it is fought.

The Tatar army became less and less confident the more they fought, and many of the generals of the Green Battalion had the idea of preserving their strength in private. Sun Kewang surrendered, half of the Ming Kingdom collapsed, the victory and defeat were divided, and the hearts of these Tartar nouveau riche could finally fall.

"Bring the fugitive general from Guancun!"

"Huh!"

Several royal palaces Goshha had a braid of hair scattered, and the green camp counselors who were tied up with flowers slipped into the tent.

"Lost the soldiers, lost the barracks, pulled down and cut down the sacrificial flag!"

"Geng Jimao, you fucking ......"

One Goshha turned the handle of his sword, beat the general to the point that his mouth was full of blood, and the curses behind him were also blocked.

Geng Jimao picked up the teacup, "The Ming army brigade in the south came to relieve the siege of Haikang and fight with this domain, which is really fresh." ”

Xu Chenggong arched his hand and said loudly: "Lord Wang, the Ming army is coming well, we can take this opportunity to kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"Yes, catch their boss, this clan wants to see if he has eaten the gall of a leopard and dares to go wild in front of 3,000 elite horsemen."

Goshha walked into the tent carrying a bloody human head, which was the general who had just been dragged out.

Geng Jimao stood up suddenly, "The whole army is dispatched, and those who dare to stay and do not advance, the deputy general and below will be immediately beheaded, and the deputy general and above will worship this strict sen!" ”

The faces of the generals of the Green Battalion were pale.

After the intimidation was over, Geng Jimao persuaded him gently. "Brothers, work hard, defeat Leizhou, everyone will be rewarded!"

The generals of the Green Battalion agreed with a bang.

"Xu Chenggong, send someone to recall Liande City, the west is a trick of the Ming army, let him quickly bring troops to the camp."

"Huh!"

"Guo Hu."

"Lord Wang."

"Surround Haikang, don't let a soldier out."

"Don't worry, you can't even run a mouse in the city."

"Xu Dutong, you and the rest of the generals will go out with this domain!"

"Huh!"

Xu Erxian was very satisfied with Geng Jimao's attitude, he was a gratifying person, and Geng Jimao was very polite to the soldiers of the Ping Domain.

Geng Jimao waved his hand, "Return to the camp, gather the soldiers, and go to battle at noon." ”

Guo Hu, the chief soldier of Yangjiang, sneered secretly, turned around and walked out of the camp.

What bullshit.

The unlucky ginseng who was killed in the sacrificial flag was the green battalion of the other provinces that accompanied the expedition.

The same is the loss of the camp, and the guerrilla in Tai Po Port last night was fine, isn't it because that guerrilla is a subordinate of the Jingnan Domain?

Qiao Zengqian, the general of the Biaozhong Battalion in Yangjiang Town, moved to Guo Hu's side.

"Zhentai, the Ming army's guns are sharp and menacing, this battle is not easy to fight."

"I don't know."

"What errand did Geng Jimao send us?"

"The same old way, surround Haikang."

"Just one of our towns?"

"Yes, the other soldiers went out to fight the Ming army."

"Haikang is a mansion city, just a town of soldiers around a fart, what if the defenders rush out?"

"Let the brothers do their best to beat the guns, and the more smoke balls the better."

"It may not be able to stop it."

"Move all three battalions of Zhenbiao to the north of the city, at least block the north."

Qiao Zengqian slammed his teeth, "What about the south and west of the city?" Adjutant General Wang had only 2 battalion heads in his hands. ”

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers of Liande City are withdrawn from the official village, and the south is the only way to go, so leave it to him."

"Oh, that's a good feeling."

……

Nandu River embankment on the right bank, Shou Xiang looked down with his hands behind his back.

The pontoon bridge was closed, and the 4-pounder and 6-pounder guns had crossed and converged with the two infantry regiments on the opposite bank.

Now it's the turn of heavy artillery.

The heavy artillery company cautiously drove the 12-pounder bronze field gun wagon to the bridge.

These 6 heavy artillery pieces are the firepower pillars of the expeditionary force, and they cannot be lost.

The 12-pounder gun has a double diameter of 17.5, the gun weighs 960 kg, the front car weighs 1218 kg, 8 mixed-breed horses are pulled, and the whole gun travel system weighs nearly 6 tons.

The heavy artillery cart went downhill and required the help of dozens of soldiers, who pulled the rope behind it and slowly lowered it.

The gun carriage went up the bridge, and the pontoon bridge sank downward, which made the heart of the guard suddenly lift.

The artillerymen pacified the horses, waited for the pontoon bridge to stabilize, and then slowly moved forward.

Finally reached the opposite bank, and dozens of soldiers were needed to help push the cart uphill.

It took more than ten minutes for an artillery truck to cross the river, which was very laborious.

Langemann sighed, "The 12-pounder gun is too heavy. ”

"The pretty girl deserves our physical strength for her!"

"Well, I know you like it."

It took an hour and a half for the heavy artillery company to completely cross the river, surpassing all other units.

Then there was the cavalry, which was faster.

He Huchen, Jin Shiying, and Li Jianjie were not slow in their cavalry.

The 9th Regiment finished its rest and crossed the river with the Ming cavalry.

Finally, there were 18 6-pounder to 12-pounder iron cannons of the Ming army, which were also heavy and could not be used with the infantry under normal circumstances, that is, the battlefield was close to each other, and they could only be used when they crossed the river.

The barrel was mounted on a four-wheeled gun cart and could be towed without the need for a front vehicle. The cannon cart crossing the river can't pull the ox, and the occasional cannon sound will make the ox crazy, and it is a trivial matter to lift the cannon into the river, and it will be troublesome to hurt people.

The order had to be evenly distributed to the Ming army, and more had to be pulled by the Ming army's infantry manpower.

"It's time for us to cross the river."

The order was decided not to wait for the Ming artillery corps.

Langemann: "Let's go. ”

The standard-bearers from the Guards Grenadier Company held high the blood-red Orca heraldic flag, and the remaining 8 infantry companies and 1 cavalry squadron of the Guards Battalion stepped onto the pontoon bridge.

Immediately after crossing the river, a military council was called, and Karl Langemann was present.

The main force of the offensive force was 3 infantry regiments.

From left to right, the sequence is 2 regiments, 1 regiment, and 9 regiments.

Among them, the 1st Regiment of the Central Committee and the 9th Regiment of the Right Wing were arranged in a horizontal formation.

The 2nd Regiment on the left side spread out 1 battalion in a horizontal formation, and the other 1 battalion was deployed in a column behind the horizontal formation, forming a mixed offensive formation.

Six 12-pounder guns of the heavy artillery company were placed on the left flank of the 2nd regiment, and six 6-pounder guns of the light artillery company were placed on the right flank of the 9th regiment.

The Sikh cavalry regiment had 4 cavalry squadrons covering the deployment of infantry and artillery, and the length of the battle line was more than 1 km.

Jin Shiying covered 2,100 infantry with 900 cavalry, stretched the battle line to the west, and occupied Longxi Village over there as a left flank barrier.

He Huchen left 200 infantry to control Tai Po Town, and the remaining 300 cavalry and 1,300 infantry occupied the right flank and maintained the battle line from the center to the seawall.

Shou ordered to strengthen He Huchen's remaining 200 cavalry to Li Jianjie, he had a total of 600 cavalry, and the second line was deployed in Jin Shiying's rear.

The Guards Battalion and the mixed cavalry regiment had 5 cavalry squadrons, and the Dianbai Battalion reinforced 2 5.5-inch howitzers as the reserve of the whole army.

The horses of the mounted artillery company helped the Ming army tow the artillery, and temporarily formed it with the reserve.

In the distance, the rumbling of artillery was heard, and the Tartars conducted a full-scale test firing.

Shou Xian smiled, "Geng Jimao is urging us to fight," now to the table. ”

The generals took out their huge pocket watches one after another, bowed their heads and adjusted the hands.

"It's 12 noon, the departments hurry up to eat, and the offensive will start in 1 hour."

……

Tartar formation.

Geng Jimao looked at the groups of soldiers who drove out from behind the town of Tai Po and the river embankment, and his mouth grew in surprise.

Xu Chenggong, the commander of the Jing Domain, turned pale, "Lord Wang, there is not only the Ming army on the other side, but also the fucking Yi soldiers!" ”

"How did so many people cross the river?"

"Lord Wang, now is not the time to worry about these, the attack must not be beaten, we have to hold the artillery base, otherwise we will be cut by the Ming army and the Yi soldiers, and the city of Liande in the west will be in danger!"

Geng Jimao gritted his teeth, "Send more people to urge Liande City, once every half an hour, let him run faster!" ”

Xu Erxian, the commander of the Ping Domain, frowned tightly, clutched the handle of the knife, and the battle situation took a sharp turn, and the Ping Domain could no longer stay out of the matter.

"Lord, you must immediately withdraw to the defenders on the riverbank and pile all the men near the two artillery forts."

"Yes, let them withdraw immediately and run!"

Xu Chenggong: "Lord Wang, the full flag soldiers in the camp can't be idle anymore, they have to be pulled up." ”

Geng Jimao took the reins of the horse, "Xu Chenggong, you take care of it here, and the current domain will go back to transfer the full camp." ”

……

Green camp Haikang siege city.

Guo Hu held the binoculars to observe, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After Geng Jimao's very comical operation, the Tartar army on the eastern battlefield was less than the Ming army.

Qiao Zengqian's face was red and white for a while.

"Zhentai, you have to get an idea quickly!"

"What's the panic, it's not like I haven't seen a bad battle."

Qiao Zengqian looked at the groups of Ming troops that drove out of Tai Po, and his intuition was very bad. The young man licked the blood from the saber mouth, and after more than 20 years of melee in the late Ming Dynasty, he crawled out of the pile of dead people countless times, and died countless times without the ability to predict the good and the bad.

Guo Hu's green camp Yangjiang Town was originally Gao Jie's old department, the first was the Qin army trained by Sun Chuanting, mixed with a total of 8 battalions in the town standard and city garrison camp, and more than 2,900 soldiers fought this time.

Guo Hu is a member of the Yulin Guard of Shaanxi, below the general army, the deputy general Wang Xin Yulin is a Weiren, the general Qiao Zeng is a native of Qingjian County, Yan'an Prefecture, and Ren Jincai is a Yan'an Guard, and the rest of the guerrillas and garrisons Guo Chenghu, Liu Jun, Zhang Guomao, and Jia Xian are from the trilateral military households in Shaanxi, Zuo De is from Datongwei, Shaanxi, and Chen Biaoshan Customs.

The generals fought from Shaanxi to the southernmost part of Guangdong and China, which was a strong green battalion with the elite soldiers of the Nine Sides as the backbone, and had very rich experience in warfare.

"Old Joe, you go back and make some preparations, inform the brothers, and keep the old book in your hands!"

Guo Hu is not the dung grass of the green battalion in the mainland, as the first Ming army in the four towns of Jiangbei to surrender as a whole system, Li Chengdong died in that batch of general soldiers anyway, Guo Hu and Li Benshen, Zhang Tianlu, Hu Maozhen, Gao Jinku and others are the backbone of the green battalion of the Tartar army on all fronts, and they are in constant contact with each other.

As long as there are soldiers in hand, Guo Hu is not afraid of what the battle will be.
