Xu Qian always hid in the depths of the woods and couldn't see the movement outside, but he could still hear the shouts of Gao Jinku, the sound of weapons colliding, the sudden screams, and the hurried hooves of the Ming cavalry.

He knew that the brothers were fighting desperately with the Ming army, and they were being killed one by one, and they couldn't escape...... However, in just a short period of incense, Gao Jinku's roar became more and more urgent, and after a sudden shout, the surroundings became silent, and Xu Qianzong's hot tears immediately burst out of his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and did not dare to make a sound.

"Gao Xietai is dead!" Mr. Xu Qian's heart was empty, as if his internal organs had been suddenly drained, and he felt a sharp pain.

His big name is Xu Genyou, a native of Mengjin, Henan, Chongzhen six years of Henan drought, the whole village starved to death, it happened that Li Zicheng took the righteous army into Henan, Gao Jinku saw the dying Xu Genyou, gave him two pieces of bread, saved his life, Xu Genyou joined the peasant army.

Later, Gao Jie and King Chuang fell out, and took Gao into the library to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, Xu Genyou became an official army, and then the Qing army went south, Gao Jinku surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, and Xu Genyou became a green battalion soldier, but no matter how it changed, he always followed Gao into the warehouse.

The whole village in his hometown died, and after the tragedy of changing children and eating, Xu Genyou lost confidence in his ancestors. watched his father and mother and youngest brother starve to death, and he didn't have any feelings for the Ming government. Gao Jie and King Chuang became mortal enemies after falling out, killing and killing for more than ten years, and Xu Genyou was also full of hatred for the peasant army......

He is only loyal to Gao Jinku, Gao Jinku is not only his chief, but also his spiritual sustenance, if it is not for the heavy responsibility, he would rather follow Gao Jinku to die.

But he can't die, Gao Jinku is already dead. He rushed out again just to die in vain, the task given to him by Gao Jinku must be completed, the bones and blood left by Gao Jinku are still in Jiangning, and he still needs to protect them.

"Revenge! I'll definitely come back for revenge! ”

Reason overcame impulse, Xu Genyou endured and hid in the woods, avoided the search of the Ming army, escaped from the path after dark, and ran around in the mountains and fields for three or four days, and finally met a Qing army under Jin Shenghuan......

The sudden loss of Ji'an Mansion completely disrupted Jin Shenghuan's deployment.

After the Gongyi battalion entered Jiangxi. Although they attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, they were all looking for weak counties to attack, and they never attacked the capital city. In Jin Shenghuan's view, this is also a matter of course, the capital city is much stronger than the county seat. The garrison troops are all around a few thousand, although the Ming army has demons to help in the battle. There is nothing to be done about the city.

Ji'an is an important town in the middle reaches of the Gan River. There are more than 3,000 regular troops of the Green Battalion guarding it, and according to general estimates, as long as the city is guarded, it can hold out for at least about a month in the face of the attack of more than 10,000 Ming troops.

As for the possibility of the loss of Ji'an Mansion, Jin Shenghuan did not consider it at all. Instead, he confidently and boldly spread his troops around, forming a huge encirclement, and pressed the battalion towards the Gongyi battalion step by step, preparing to complete the battle. Completely wipe out this Ming army that is flowing back and forth.

Unexpectedly, Ji'an Mansion was suddenly lost, and before the Qing army could react, the Gongyi battalion conquered several nearby county towns, and then sent troops to cross the Ganjiang River, seized a large number of ships, and easily broke the Ganjiang defense line, and Jin Shenghuan's iron wall was completely bankrupt.

After the loss of Ji'anfu, it strategically posed a huge threat to the Qing army, and tens of thousands of troops who were attacking Ganzhou were attacked by the enemy, and the supply line was cut off.

Jin Shenghuan could no longer entangle with Hao Shaoqi, so he led his army to bypass Yuanzhou Mansion and concentrated his forces to Ji'an Mansion, eager to recover this place, open up the Ganjiang River waterway, and restore contact with the Qing army in Ganzhou. But the tens of thousands of troops under his command were scattered all over the place, and it was very troublesome to concentrate, and by the time he hurriedly arrived at Ji'an Mansion, it was already six or seven days later.

What awaits him is an empty city.

The Gongyi battalion invaded the hinterland of Jiangxi, and the Ji'an volunteers retreated to the Jinggangshan mountain area west of Yongxin County, leaving a ruined Ji'an Mansion to the Qing army, and completely destroying several wharves in Ji'an Mansion and Jishui County. Jin Shenghuan roughly estimated that it would take at least a few thousand taels of silver and more than half a month to repair these wharves and restore the function of Ji'an Prefecture's grain and salary relay operation.

It's so nasty!

Jin Shenghuan was annoyed, but he was attracted by a more important matter.

On the way here, he had been wondering why Ji'an Mansion was quickly lost, but when he saw the city wall of Ji'an Mansion with his own eyes, all his questions were answered - the mana of the demon of the Ming army became stronger again, and he actually used heavenly thunder to blow up the strong city wall of the mansion city, and it was continuous, and there were more than a dozen gaps in one explosion.

Looking at the huge gap in the city wall, he could imagine the fear and despair of the Qing army at that time, he could imagine the unwillingness and helplessness of Gao Jinku before his death, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the troops, they did not dare to confront God's Liliang, the city wall was blown up like this, and the green battalion soldiers in the city must have collapsed themselves, no wonder Ji'an Mansion was breached within two days.

The more Jin Shenghuan thought about it, the more worried he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he was afraid, if this Ming army went to attack Nanchang Mansion, even if there were tens of thousands of defenders in the city, in the face of this inhuman liliang, the army would be in turmoil and collapse without a fight.

"This demon is so powerful, is there really a god to help in the battle, God to help?" Jin Shenghuan secretly pondered: "If this is the case, wouldn't Da Ming have not exhausted his anger, and my old Jin is acting against the sky, I'm afraid there will be no good results......

At this time, another army arrived in a hurry, and after the general saw Jin Shenghuan, he told him about Xu Genyou.

"Qiyu Dashuai, I caught a subordinate who entered the warehouse highly, and he is a thousand presidents."

"This kind of thing still bothers me!" Jin Shenghuan said impatiently: "If you desert, you will be cut directly." ”

"Mr. Qian said that he was responsible for the death of Gao Jinku, and he had something important to tell Jin Shuai......

After listening to Xu Genyou's report, Jin Shenghuan was a little hesitant.

Compared with the demon casting, the gunpowder bombing city seems to be more reliable, but Jin Shenghuan still feels that it still doesn't make sense. Of course, he knew that gunpowder was indeed extremely powerful when used on a red-coated cannon, but he couldn't figure out how gunpowder could blow down the city walls anyway.

Gunpowder, it's almost like a cannon fight, but that thing just hears a sound, pinching the ass and putting it directly in the hand, and it can't blow up people, isn't it a joke to use it to blow up the city wall. (One more thing, old-fashioned firecrackers can be put like this, many of the current firecrackers are not black powder, you can't put it in your hand, it will blow up and hurt people, don't try it!) ）

The military affairs were urgent, and he did not have time to study them carefully, so he had to order the remaining troops to dig up the collapsed foundation first when repairing the city wall, and carefully find out the reason...... This process may take more than ten days or even dozens of days, and before that, he had to take a two-pronged approach, both to prevent demons and prevent fire.

That night, he ordered his staff to draft an urgent circular, ordering the defenders of various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi to strengthen their vigilance, first, to guard against the Ming army from blowing down the city wall with the Heavenly Thunder Demon Method, and second, to beware of the Ming army from attacking the city with the Western Fire and Thunder Method.

At the same time, he wrote a report to the Manchu court, seeking the support of Jishu in the base camp, whether it is the demon law or the Western fire and thunder law, let the court identify and solve it.

As the emergency notice spread all over Jiangxi, the temples and Taoist temples in various states and counties suddenly flourished, especially the Longwang Temple was the most popular.

Water can overcome fire, this is an ancient precept that has been passed down for thousands of years, the demon is good at using the five thunder law, the fairy invited is the thunder male electric mother, everyone knows that when it rains, it is the dragon lord who is casting spells, and the thunder male and electric mother are the followers of the five dragon masters, as long as the dragon lord is invited, you can break the demon's spell.

And black dog blood, boy urine, etc. have also become a shortage of materials, in just half a month, all states and counties in Jiangxi are the world without black dogs, boy urine into a tank, the city wall is also full of all kinds of fairy tablets, from the Jade Emperor to the South China Sea Guanyin, from Hongjun ancestor to the seventy-two changes of the Monkey King, no matter which way the demon invited, you can't blow up everyone's tablets.

As for the Ming army's method of attacking fire and thunder, the generals of the Qing army couldn't come up with too haode for a while, and Zuihou came to a conclusion that if he saw the Ming army digging tunnels, he should immediately send troops out of the city, regardless of the cost and sacrifice, and the tunnels must be destroyed......

……

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan led the Fuzhou volunteers, surrounded Le'an County in the upper reaches of the Wujiang River, two days later, Wang Kefan led the Gongyi battalion army to arrive, he sent Ti Zhaorong and Wang Meng with two thousand iron horsemen, around the city wall of Le'an County to show off their prestige, and then shot a book to surrender to the city, in the moment before the Zuihou ultimatum, Le'an County Kaicheng surrendered.

Don't die!

Wang Kefan did not kill a single prisoner, and spared the officials of Le'an County and more than 100 green battalion soldiers, this is the first county town to surrender on its own initiative, and it must be built into a model for the prisoner policy of the Gongyi battalion.

After the Green Battalion soldiers handed over their weapons, they were all dismissed, and before leaving, they repeatedly preached to them that as long as they took the initiative to surrender when fighting the Gongyi Battalion, they could be treated leniently.

The officials of Le'an County were handed over to Jiezhongxi for disposal, and the Le'an County Commander took the initiative to surrender the city, not only saving the lives of his family, but also continuing to serve as the Le'an County Commander, but in order to show his sincerity of allegiance to the Ming Dynasty, Jiezhongxi gave him an important task to surrender to the nearby Yihuang County.

After the Gongyi battalion and the Fuzhou volunteers met, they brought them more than 2,000 knives and guns, more than 200 sets of armor and various military supplies, which were all obtained from the capture of Zhang Xianbi and Gao Jinku, some of which were transported to Jinggangshan, and some were used to support the Fuzhou volunteers.

Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan just pulled up the people, it was the time when there was an urgent shortage of weapons and equipment, Wang Kefan's move was undoubtedly a send-off, after getting this batch of materials, the Fuzhou volunteers changed their guns and artillery, and the military prestige was greatly boosted, Jie Chongxi and Fu Dingquan immediately proposed to jointly attack Fuzhou with the Gongyi battalion.

However, Wang Kefan persuaded them. (To be continued......)
