"The casualties of the 80th Brigade in the past few days are too great to be moved, and they will not believe it if they barely feint to attack the Tartars, so let's let the 78th Brigade come!" Zhang Jiazhen stopped Bu Congshan.

"No, I'll do it." Bu Congshan was very moved, and insisted: "I still have a bit of a family background, I can fight with the Tartars, if the play is not like it, and I don't attract the Tartars, I am willing to be punished by the teacher!" ”

The two of them argued, Zhang Jiayu waved his hand and said: "A feint is also a defeat, there must be casualties and losses, since you have paid such a big price, you must succeed, and you can't take any chances." In this way, the 78th Brigade will be divided into two, one will support the 79th Brigade to attack De'an County, and the other will support the 80th Brigade to attack the ferry, and when it is defeated, it can still cover alternately, and the losses will be smaller......"

If the 80th Brigade is hidden behind, the Qing army will definitely find out that Zhang Jia www.uuxs.cc yu is determined to take the feint attack as real and fight, except for the middle and senior officers above the battalion commander and sentry officer, the low-level officers and ordinary soldiers will not report the truth for the time being, and only then can they deceive the Qing army.

"It's really cheap for the third division now, grandma's, okay, let's keep some strength secretly, and when the time comes, we must take down De'an County." Xiong Lichun was very happy to see that his construction was adopted.

"Staying strong is staying strong, just know it in your heart, don't talk nonsense, when you feint and retreat, you must first save everyone's life, what can you take off your armor directly, and you can also throw some knives and guns and weapons, I will set up an ambush halfway to intercept and kill for a while, to cover everyone's retreat. Second, to confuse the Tartars...... "Zhang Jiayu and the generals discussed carefully again and finalized the final battle plan.

Just do it. Zhang Jiayu, Xiong Lichun and other generals immediately returned to the city of De'an and sent fast horses back to Nanchang. The 3rd Division of Lü Renqing was informed to rush to the Xiushui River and set up an ambush at the ferry, while Zhang Jiazhen's 78th Brigade rushed to the ferry and De'an City at night to support the 79th and 80th Brigades, and launched a fierce attack at dawn the next day.

De'an County, Boyang River Ferry, the two are only more than 20 miles apart, and fierce battles broke out at the same time.

Just went to war. The Qing army found that the offensive of the Chu army was different from the previous two days, with a desperate and ferocious attitude, and the combat method was also a general attack with all its might, and the offensive was wave after wave, without stopping at all.

"Holy shit, the southern thieves have increased their troops!"

At the ferry, the chief general of the Qing army was a third-class first-class Lazhangjing named Kangkler, who was angry: "Do the scouts eat dry rice?" When did the southern thieves increase their troops, why didn't they find out? ”

"It must have been sneaked in last night. It's just to take us by surprise. The adjutant general of the Qing army persuaded: "Zhang Jing doesn't need to be angry, the southern thief is a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry, just fight to the death, as long as this attack is defeated." They're sure they're going to retreat. ”

On the battlefield, the Chu army was attacking from the front, and more than 1,000 fresh troops transferred from the 78th Brigade were put into formation. Launched a frontal challenge to the Qing army's military formation, and the 80th Brigade was responsible for covering the two flanks. At the same time, the Eight Banners cavalry in the Qing army's fortress was monitored, and the total number of troops participating in the attack was about 3,000. There was an obvious superiority in troops, blocking all the support directions of the Qing army, shouting and killing on the battlefield, and the flags came and went, and the battle was extremely fierce.

"Don't wait, follow me!" Konkler suddenly pulled out his tiger tooth knife and urged his horse to rush forward.

A horse rushed out, a thousand horsemen followed, the front of the military village gate has been pushed to both sides, the wide door is unusually flat, with a team of military flags to form a flag array, blocking the enemy's sight, Kang Kle ran to the front, the flag door suddenly opened, with the earth-shattering war drums, one thousand eight banner cavalry rushed out of the military village, the sound of horses' hooves was connected into a rumbling sound, the battlefield could not hear other sounds for a while, everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look this way.

The war drums could not be heard, and the Eight Banners sounded the conch horn.

Now is the moment of decisive victory, the cavalry of the Qing army entered the battlefield, not using the harassment tactics of "horse walking day" as usual, but opened and closed, and went straight to the waist and eye part of the Chu army's military formation, the Chu army was also prepared, a spear array of five hundred people was immediately blocked, the archers carried the horse rejecting rifles and ran to the front of the formation, put down the bow and arrows together, a row of arrows shot out and turned around and ran back, the musketeers took three steps forward, and put the flat bird guns and flintlock muskets under the orders of the officers, A volley of buckshot was fired at the Eight Banners cavalry who circled around the sides of the repulsion rifles.

"Withdraw!"

The musketeers retreated, the pikemen met them, and the cavalry of the Eight Banners did not flinch, and collided with the pikemen viciously. This spear formation was only 500 men, which was very thin compared to the 1,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners, and Konkler did not have time to entangle and fight with them, and was ready to use brute force to kill them.

Fierce battle!

With the Eight Banners cavalry joining the battle group, the battles in other places also tended to be white-hot, and the Qing army launched a counteroffensive together, blocking the attacking Chu army and forcing them to retreat again and again. In several other barriers, the Qing army also fought out with the orders of the Chinese army, and the whole battlefield became a pot of porridge, and the Qing army and the Chu army rushed to kill each other, dividing and anti-dividing, encircling and counter-encirclement, and finally fought a melee.

In the chaotic battle, Zhang Jiazhen, who was dressed in a purple robe and unicolor armor, was particularly conspicuous, rushing back and forth, invincible.

In the Qing army, Kang Kler rode a big white horse, with a bright coat, like a piece of brocade, a golden helmet and gold armor, and a black face like the bottom of the pot.

In the distance, the two looked at each other, like a shining spark, and they invariably urged the war horse to rush towards each other. Kang Kale was followed by more than 100 cavalry of the Eight Banners, but Zhang Jiazhen was only more than 40 cavalry of the Chu army, obviously on the weak side, but the momentum of the charge was not weaker than the other party.

Cavalry hedge!

Except for the short shouts of force, no one shouted, and after the two cavalry met together, there was the sound of gold and iron clashing blades, and after a while, they each rushed forward, separated from each other, except for more than two dozen ownerless war horses, blood stains were scattered on the ground, and corpses were scattered all over the place.

Konkar rushed out about a hundred paces. Le Ma looked back, and the ranks of the cavalry of the Chu army on the opposite side had obviously become thin. There were more casualties than the cavalry of the Eight Banners, behind them. The five hundred pikemen also suffered heavy losses, the pikemen phalanx had turned into an irregular oval, and a group of Chu army pikemen gathered together, entangled with the Eight Banners cavalry.

The Eight Banners cavalry also lost more than 100 people, which was less than half of the Chu army in terms of casualties alone, but Kang Khal felt distressed like a pinprick in the face, and exchanged cavalry and infantry, even if one for two was not cost-effective. If it weren't for the stalemate on the battlefield as much as he could, he would never have charged directly at the pikes with his cavalry.

At this point, it was useless to say anything else, try your best to defeat this spear array, and then attack the main force of the Chu army. Konkler suddenly raised his tiger tooth knife again, urging his horse to launch a second charge.

Seeing that the Qing army moved, the cavalry of the Chu army on the opposite side also immediately urged the horse to charge, and the two cavalry must have speed in their hedge, if they stand in place, they will wait to be slaughtered. Turning around and running away is equivalent to drying your back to the Eight Banners who are good at riding and shooting, and only rushing up and fighting with the other party is the only way to survive.

Soldier to soldier, general to general, Kang Kler is right against Zhang Jiazhen this time. In this short sprint, both horses were traveling at nearly fifty kilometers per hour, almost instantaneously in an instant. Kangkler's tiger tooth knife and Zhang Jiazhen's horse sword collided fiercely.

With a loud sound of "dang", Zhang Jiazhen took off his hand. The horse sword flew into the air, and Kangkler didn't expect the other party to be so vulnerable. When the two horses staggered, the corner of their eyes swept away, and they saw that Zhang Jiazhen was covered with blood, and there was a blood mark and a few blood scabs on the corner of his mouth, which was obviously seriously injured.

"Alas, alas!" Kang Kele shouted in his heart, Zhang Jiazhen had already rushed over from his side, but he did not look back this time, and fled with more than a dozen Chu cavalry towards the rear formation.

Break the formation!

This time the cavalry hedged and became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and there was a chain reaction in the Chu army's formation, the soldiers turned around and fled backwards, and the officers couldn't hold it down, although there were still some troops fighting to the death, desperately intercepting the Qing army's pursuers, but they couldn't reverse the collapse of the entire battlefield.

Escape!

Under the banner of the rear of the Chu army, Bu Congshan led a team of men and horses to meet Kangkal, covering the evacuation of many Chu soldiers from the battlefield, he was fighting, while urging his subordinates to flee for their lives, seeing that some soldiers were still wearing heavy armor, he tore his throat and scolded a few words, and the soldiers of the Chu army got the permission of the commander, and they lost their armor and fled for their lives.

After another hedge, Bu Congshan turned his horse's head and led his subordinates to join the fleeing ranks, thousands of Chu troops fled in a swarm, the scene was extremely chaotic, and the excited Qing army almost dazzled their eyes, not knowing which direction to pursue. Fortunately, the terrain in this area is open, and the Chu army will not stop itself, everyone is like a frightened rabbit, running all the way with their heads stuffy, and running out for several miles in a blink of an eye, leaving only a place of swords, guns, armor, and banners.

The Qing army pursued and killed all the way, and broke through the Chu army camp, because of a delay in the camp for a while, when Kang Khal arrived at the back of the camp, the Chu army had already run away, and only a cloud of smoke and dust could be seen rolling away.

"Lord Zhang Jing, quickly order to chase and kill, the southern thief is desperate, he can no longer stabilize his position after defeat, our army will chase and kill from behind with all his might, and he will definitely be able to relieve the siege of De'an County!"

"Good! Follow me! Kang Kle hastily formed a team, led thousands of Qing troops to the nest, and chased down the road to De'an County. Along the road there were things lost by the Chu army, and occasionally some wounded routs, seeing the Qing army chasing and fleeing into the fields and woods on both sides, Kang Khal had no time to entangle with them, leaving only a small group of Qing troops scattered to chase and suppress, and he led a large group of men and horses straight to De'an County.

There are still five miles away from De'an County, facing several Qing army rangers, reporting to Kangkal, De'an County also fought a beautiful counterattack, crushed the attack of thousands of Chu troops, and captured the enemy's camp, De'an Lord General learned of the victory at the ferry, ordered Kangkal to advance lightly, cooperate with him to pursue and kill the fleeing enemy, and must block the Chu army on the north bank of the Xiushui River, so as to catch it all.

Since the lord had an order, Kangkal did not hesitate to send the 1,000 and 8-banner cavalry (there were more than 100 casualties, only more than 800 remained) as the vanguard, and he led the infantry to the rear, changed direction, and went straight to the Xiushui River.

There are still more than forty miles away from the Xiushui River, Kang Kle chased after him, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, the Chu army ran too fast and too actively, could it be a trick to lure the enemy, and the Qing army was chased after by deception, but there was an ambush hidden in the secret?

He hurried to the De'an army, and when he saw the chief general of De'an, the two of them marched side by side, and expressed his worries.

"Hey, don't worry, the battle of the southern thieves has already been all elite, where are the ambush soldiers......" The chief general of the Qing army had just said this, when a cannon suddenly rang out in the woods, killing an ambush soldier, with a total of about 1,000 people, mainly musketeers, and more than 100 rangers, all of whom were directly subordinate to the 15th Division.

The Qing army was in a hurry, the formation was not neat, and it was caught off guard by the Chu army and retreated step by step, but the main general of the Qing army was also a veteran of the battlefield, and there was an emergency arrangement in advance.

"Hahaha! This is the ambush of the southern thief, but it is just to prevent us from chasing, come, kill them for me, rush to the Xiushui River as much as possible, and drive the southern thief into the river to feed Wang Ba! The commander of the Qing army gave an order, and the Eight Banners soldiers moved forward fiercely, breaking through the army formation of the Chu army's ambush soldiers, and the Chu soldiers shouted, turned around and fled into the woods.

The Qing army commander sent a team of soldiers and horses to chase after those routs around the woods, and he and Kang Kle continued to chase towards the Xiushui River with the main force.

At the end of the avenue, near the ferry, the river beach was densely packed with Chu soldiers, more than 3,000 people, and a huge battle flag showed that Zhang Jiayu, the commander of the 15th Division, was here...... On the river, several small sampans were ferrying, and some Chu soldiers were cutting down trees and bamboos, preparing to cross the river on a raft, and seeing the Qing army chasing from behind, the Chu army sent a group of hundreds of men and horses to set up a defensive formation.

"Hmph, the southern thieves fled all the way for forty miles, and they were able to gather hundreds of people to form an army, and they didn't cross the river without panic and trampling, which can be regarded as a rare strong army, no wonder Prince Zheng's 100,000 troops were folded in their hands." A cold gaze suddenly flashed in Kangkler's eyes, and he asked the main general of the Qing army for his life: "But as the saying goes, the army is defeated like a mountain, and the southern thieves have fled here, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and the army has no fighting spirit.
