Yang Wulie was very worried.

The walls of Ji'an Mansion are in tatters, and the protection has been greatly reduced, and the Ming army does not need to build too many siege equipment, as long as it is attacked with a ladder, it will be difficult for him to hold it.

Unexpectedly, from morning to night, the camp of the Ming army was quiet, and there was no movement except for the change of guard troops, as if they were asleep...... It wasn't until it was dark that there was movement in the camp of the Ming army, and they began to eat dinner.

The smoke is faint, laughter and laughter, and there is a sense of relaxation after tension in the Ming military camp, as if you have been busy for many days and go out for a picnic.

The atmosphere is so good?!

Yang Wulie couldn't understand it, but he didn't underestimate the enemy, and he didn't act rashly. Wang Kefan is known for his cunning and cunning, maybe this is some kind of strategy, such as the strategy of agitating the generals, the strategy of luring the enemy, the strategy of arrogant soldiers, and so on.

Ignore him, it's a matter of getting to the city wall to be repaired.

In the anxiety, the night passed without incident, standing on the city wall, it seemed that you could hear the snoring of the Ming army camp like thunder.

It wasn't until the morning of the third day that the Ming army seemed to remember Ji'an Mansion and sent a detachment of men and horses to approach 200 steps beyond the moat, build several small earthen villages, and then began to dig tunnels.

Cave Attack!

The method of Western fire and thunder!

Yang Wulie immediately remembered that legend, and hurriedly sent someone to find Xu Genyou and Xu Qianzong.

When the Gongyi battalion hit Ji'an Mansion, Xu Gen was promoted by the line of fire and was appointed as a guerrilla general by Gao Jinku, but he didn't have time to issue a formal seal.

A thousand is a thousand presidents, Xu Genyou has no boss, so he has to join Yang Wulie's command, and he is just as loyal. During this time, he has been studying the ruins of the city wall of Ji'an Mansion, studying the secret of the Gongyi battalion blowing up the city wall, and compared to others, he is an expert in this area.

The expert is really different, Xu Genyou came to the city wall to take a look, and immediately solemnly warned that the method adopted by the Gongyi Battalion now is almost exactly the same as when it was a dozen Ji'an Mansions, the only difference is that only two tunnels have been dug.

"The thieves must have been short of gunpowder, so they dug two tunnels. But Yang Xietai must not be underestimated, once the fire and thunder explode, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will not be able to withstand it......"

He carefully described the astonishing power of the explosion, and Yang Wulie had seen the gaps in the city wall with his own eyes, so he certainly understood the seriousness of the problem. It's just that there are still doubts about the cause of the explosion...... Whether it is the Western method of fire and thunder, or the five thunder method of demons. It all sounds the same unreliable. How do you crack it?

"Dare to use his life to vouch for his life, the thief must use the method of Western fire and thunder, and it will be launched in another day, Yang Xietai should make a decision as soon as possible, and must not hesitate!" Xu Gen swore by a gambling curse.

"Since it's a cave attack, you have to use the method of fire and thunder. Can you flood him? "Yang Wulie is ready to overcome fire with water.

"No, the thieves don't need to dig the foundation of the city wall, and they will be ......activated very quickly."

The Ming army blew up the city wall with gunpowder, and the tunnels were dug quickly and simply. It was difficult for the Qing army to determine the location of the tunnel, and the method of irrigation was not used.

The two of them discussed repeatedly and found that there was no other way to crack it except to go out of the city and destroy it......

……

The Gongyi battalion traveled 300 miles for three days and two nights, and the troops were on the verge of collapse, especially after a good night's sleep, many soldiers' legs and feet were swollen, so they had to rest for two more days.

By the morning of the third day, more than 100 soldiers had returned, but as time went on, it was estimated that the remaining 300 or so would not be able to return.

Since the Gongyi battalion entered Jiangxi, the total casualties were more than 400 people, and this breakthrough caused more than 300 non-combat attrition, and the price paid was very high.

Some of the middle and senior officers have an idea.

In their opinion, the Gongyi battalion could retreat to Raozhou calmly, and there was no need to take such a big risk to return to the south of Jiangxi. However, due to Wang Kefan's high prestige, they held these thoughts in their stomachs and did not communicate with each other.

Now that you have returned to the south of Jiangxi, the next step is to rescue Ganzhou, and after making this great achievement, you can either take refuge in Wanji, or return to Huguang, which is an acceptable result.

However, after this breakthrough, the physical strength of the soldiers was excessively consumed, and the food of the Gongyi battalion was also seriously insufficient.

So on the third day, the soldiers of the Gongyi battalion began to dig the tunnel despite the sore legs, preparing to attack the city, but the tunnel was just halfway dug when the Qing army in the city suddenly came out......

……

The gate of the urn city was closed, the outer gate was opened, the drawbridge creaked down, and Yang Wulie led 2,500 green battalion soldiers out of the city and lined up towards those few earthen villages.

The Ming army built these earthen villages very tricky, although not tall, but can support each other, the tunnel exit in the middle of the earthen village, if the attack of the green battalion soldiers is too few, it is difficult to work in one fell swoop.

What's more, the Ming army also had a fast-moving cavalry, and if the troops out of the city were not enough, they would not be able to deal with the Ming cavalry that rushed to support.

Two thousand five hundred people is the largest force that the green battalion in the city can mobilize, and the remaining five hundred people still have to guard the city. Continue to stay in the city, the city wall will be blown up sooner or later, Yang Wulie can only make a desperate bet and fight!

Except for a few guards, there were no other alert troops near the earthen village, which was obviously a decoy for the Ming army, but for Yang Wulie, it was also the only chance.

Since it was a bait, he must show weakness, and he was ready to swallow the bait and spit out the hook again.

Yang Wulie planned to make a plan, pretending to destroy the tunnels of the Ming army, luring the cavalry of the Ming army first, and taking advantage of the fact that the Ming infantry had no time to support them, and defeated them in one fell swoop. If you can kill and injure a large number of Ming cavalry and cause serious chaos, you can take the opportunity to destroy the tunnels of the Ming army.

Therefore, after he led his troops out of the city, he did not rush to charge the earthen village, but first formed a formation and prepared for a decisive battle with the cavalry.

Two thousand five hundred green battalion soldiers, including five hundred archers, five hundred rattan players, and one thousand five hundred pikemen, in order to fight the cavalry, he did not bring other troops, but tried to increase the number of pikemen as much as possible.

The outcome of this field battle will determine the life and death of Ji'an Mansion!

The war drums were like thunder, and the green battalion soldiers lined up in a phalanx and marched towards the earthen village. Yang Wulie deliberately suppressed his speed in case the queue deformed and could not cope with the sudden cavalry.

Sure enough, the Ming army's reaction was also very fast, and the camp gate of the Gongyi battalion suddenly opened, and the continuous cavalry poured out like a tide, rushing straight to the two thousand five hundred green battalion soldiers.

"Array!"

With Yang Wulie's loud shout, the green battalion soldiers stopped advancing, adjusted their formation and prepared to meet the enemy, and the pikemen fought in formation, not afraid of the impact of the cavalry.

"Come on, come on!" Yang Wulie secretly prayed in his heart, praying that the cavalry of the Ming army would rush over quickly and have a hearty showdown.

"Pedal ......!"

The sound of hooves was like thunder, and the cavalry of the Ming army was getting closer and closer, with thousands of men and horses in front and behind.

The green battalion soldiers raised their spears one after another, like a porcupine suddenly holding up its spikes, Yang Wulie seemed to have seen that the cavalry of the Ming army crashed into this long spear, and was immediately stabbed on his back, and suffered heavy casualties.

However, the cavalry of the Ming army rushed to sixty or seventy paces away, and suddenly divided into two groups, like the current of a reef, and swept past both sides of the green battalion soldiers, and the archers of the green battalion soldiers released arrows one after another, but they did not do much damage to the cavalry who were rushing like lightning, and could only watch them rush out for a long distance in the blink of an eye, and could not shoot again.

"It's broken!"

A thought flashed in Yang Wulie's heart, since this cavalry didn't fight with him, it would be difficult to deal with.

He turned to look at the gate of the Gongyi camp, and a large number of infantry were leaving the camp.

"Withdraw, withdraw to the city!"

Yang Wulie knew very well that the cavalry of the Ming army was here to harass him, and the real killer was those infantry, the strength of the Ming army was superior, and if it was surrounded by their infantry, the whole army would be annihilated.

He commanded the green battalion soldiers to turn around and retreat, now only more than a hundred steps away from the drawbridge, if you let go of the run, you can reach it soon, but those cavalry behind him are a huge threat, under their pursuit and interception, there are not a few of the more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers left.

Therefore, Yang Wulie still tried his best to maintain the formation to maintain a deterrent to the cavalry of the Ming army.

Sure enough, when the cavalry of the Ming army came back again, they still didn't dare to charge, but just released a row of arrows and ran over from both sides of the green battalion.

But under their harassment, the green battalion soldiers were forced to stop to meet the enemy, and after a delay for a long time, Yang Wulie looked back and saw that the infantry of the Ming army had been assembled and was running towards this side.

Let's go!

The cavalry of the Ming army is back!

The Green Battalion stopped again, raised their guns again to meet the enemy, and reluctantly adjusted their scattered formation.

The cavalry of the Ming army bypassed again!

"Brethren, run!"

Yang Wulie knew that there was no chance in this battle, and if he continued to grind like this, he would not be able to run away.

He urged the war horse under his crotch and galloped towards the drawbridge, and behind him, there was a mess of green battalion soldiers running wolf and pig, behind their buttocks, the Ming cavalry raised their sabers and swords, and quickly chased after them, getting closer and closer......

……

Fu Guan disguised himself as an ordinary countryman, passed the defense line of the Qing army safely, and came to Fuzhou, Fujian Province with great difficulty.

After seeing his acquaintance, he immediately inquired about Huang Daozhou's news, and the other party told him that Huang Daozhou had left Fuzhou half a month ago, and took 3,000 men and horses north out of Fujian to rescue the Huizhou volunteers in Nanzhili.

Hearing the news, Fu Guanleng was stunned for ten minutes before he came back to his senses.

"Mr. Shi Zhai (Zodiac Zhou Shi Zhai) is the first assistant of the dynasty, why did he lead the troops to the battle?!"

The Huizhou volunteers asked the court for help, Zheng Zhilong did not send a single soldier, and Mr. Shi Zhai had to go out in person in order to save the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Hey, it's a pity that he only brought 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers, and I'm afraid that this time there will be more than ...... bad luck" (to be continued......
