[Thanks to 'Tai Song Wang' 588 tip]

Shishou is located in the geographical center of the Two Lakes Plain (Jianghan Plain and Dongting Lake Plain), and is the southern end of the central axis of Hubei. It is bordered by Anxiang and Huarong in Hunan Province to the south, Jiangling to the north, Jianli to the east, and public security to the west.

Al Yajiang led the Wuchang reinforcements with the Hunan Luying East Route Army as the main force, and with hundreds of ships carrying, they had already arrived here. They traced the river to the river, and had the convenience of water conservancy, so that although Wuchang was much farther away from Jiangling City than Xiangyang, and the twists and turns of the Yangtze River waterway extended the distance a lot, the Wuchang reinforcements led by him were able to arrive near Jiangling at almost the same time as the Xiangyang reinforcements led by Shi Liang, all because of a Yangtze River.

Shishou is 300 miles away from Gangneung by water. It was a safe distance, and Al Yajiang didn't even expect that Chen Ming had already known that he had reached Shishou, because the wings of the pigeon were much faster than the four legs of a fast horse.

Shishou, where he arrived yesterday, did not continue to march to Gangneung, but insisted that the troops be reorganized in Shishou for one day. Although there are lakes and rivers in Hunan, not everyone in Hunan knows how to water, and even if they do, not everyone can avoid seasickness in the Yangtze River.

The reinforcements from Wuchang came quickly, but the 10,000 or so people stayed on the ship for these days, and their combat effectiveness was also reduced a lot.

From Shishou to Jiangling, two days by boat is enough to arrive, but if the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is gone, one by one they become soft-footed shrimp, and no matter how fast the Wuchang reinforcements arrive, it will be in vain.

After an interval of one day, the Wuchang reinforcements set sail at Shishou. On the morning of this day, Arya Jiang, who was in the boat, received an urgent report from the fast horse of Jiangling City, Chen Ming trampled on the dignity of the flag people, and was angry and officially attacked Jiangling City.

No one believed that Chen Ming's attack on Jiangling was really because he was 'annoyed and angry', and Chen Ming's dirty demands were also exposed in the express report. But he also absolutely did not believe it. Even if Chen Ming is the first pervert in the world, he is not interested in the two old ladies, this is more like making excuses?

But the relationship between the restored Han army and Jiangling City will not make him make excuses?

Al Yajiang deeply believed in his heart that Chen Ming's attack on Jiangling City was due to the approach of reinforcements from Xiangyang and Wuchang. This made him forget the little doubts just now, and Arya Jiang needed to march to Gangneung as soon as possible. Even if you don't land and put the team on the south bank of the Yangtze River, you can still hold back one leg of the Fu Han army.

The Battle of Jingzhou was a very ingenious battle, Chen Ming sat and watched outside Jiangling City for ten days, extorting a large amount of material money and food, which directly made outsiders less determined to fight Jiangling.

Now that the Qing army is approaching Xiangyang and Wuchang, Chen Ming can easily withdraw under Jiangling City, and the large army will return to Qianjiang, and then kill all the way to the three towns of Wuhan.

At that time, the people and horses of the Arya River can quickly return to Wuchang by boat, so what about the soldiers and horses of Xiangyang? Do you want to follow Chen Ming's ass and continue the pursuit? Beware of being eaten by the back. There is still a vast space north of the Yangtze River for Chen Ming's movement to maneuver.

And Shi Liang, who had already entered Shilipu Town from Jianyang Town at the junction of the two prefectures to Shilipu Town, which was closer to Jiangling City, saw the quick horse urgent report sent by Jiangling, and angrily pulled out a knife and cut the table next to him.

Shame, absolute shame!

To the Jingzhou banner soldiers, to him Shi Liang himself, a great shame!

"Chen Ming thief, I won't behead you, I won't be a man!"

Chen Ming's hand is too disgusting. After this incident, even if everything is fine, the reputation of Shi Liang's wife and daughter will have an extra layer of 'glamorous halo' that makes people look at it differently. Shi Liang now hated so much that he only wanted to break Chen Ming's body into pieces.

……

Jiangling City, which was beaten by the artillery of the Chen family's army, had no idea that Chen Ming had taken a team of 2,000 people and quietly left at a small pier not far from Nijiatai by taking advantage of the ships collected in these days. They first went to the northeast, then turned southeast, bypassed Taibo, continued to turn northeast, and after moving forward for thirty miles of waterway, the whole team turned to the northwest, and then twenty miles of waterway, and controlled Hougang Town in the night, and overnight the two thousand Fu Han army had passed through the entire Changhu Lake, and turned to the northwest corner of [Changhu], which was located in the southeast of Shilipu, but it was too east.

Chen Ming didn't dare to say whether anyone had been spotted along the way, but when he took control of Hougang Town with his team, he didn't care anymore. At least the people of Hougang Town were extremely shocked by the arrival of the Fu Han army, which was absolutely unexpected, which was enough to prove the suddenness of his hand.

Jingzhou is a land of 100 lakes, and when fighting here, you must pay attention to the waterways.

Just like Al Yajiang believed, Chen Ming's attack on Jiangling City was indeed because of the approach of the Qing army reinforcements from the two routes, and he wanted to fight a time difference and get all the way first. Reinforcements from Xiangyang are of course the best choice. Whether it is distance, combat effectiveness, or numbers, they cannot be compared with the reinforcements from Wuchang.

Xiangyang, as a strategic town in Hubei, was controlled by the Han army in Nanyang Province, and the Qing army must have a team to guard it in Xiangyang. So what is the number of reinforcements brought by Shi Liang?

The report of the dark camp is 5,000 to 7,000, and half of them are still militia militias. In short, the strength of the Qing army is not high, and the military literacy is very sufficient.

Chen Ming wants to deal with the Qing army of Al Yajiang, and he will not do it without 5,000 people. But to beat Shi Liang, he felt that two thousand people, a sudden blow was enough.

For the sake of ease of movement, he did not even carry artillery, except for a few Tiger Squat Cannons, which were Flying Thunder Cannons. In this battle, he wants to fight a surprise attack, as long as Shi Liang leads his troops to continue to the south, he will start from Hougang Town, and he will be able to meet with the Qing army halfway. Don't look at Hougang Town, which is ten miles away, and there are thirty miles away.

Chen Ming was very confident in the quality of his own team, they had been cultivated for ten days before. However, the Qing soldiers rushed over from Xiangyang for several days. When Shi Liang led the team from Shilipu to the south, it was the time for Chen Ming to hunt.

The battle took place in the afternoon of this day.

In the morning, Chen Ming confidently let the team rest in Hougang Town for two more hours, almost halfway through the hour, the team left the town. At noon, Chen Ming received a quick report from the dark camp that the reinforcements from Xiangyang were still far away from Jishan Town. Their march was rather slow, and there was a great deal of procrastination between the battalion heads.

So much so that when the battle broke out in the afternoon, Shi Liang's reinforcements of about 6,000 people collapsed at the touch of a button, and the 2,000 Fu Han army was pushed from beginning to end.

Shi Liangshi, who was angry and wanted to break Chen Ming's corpse into thousands of pieces, all of them slapped their horses and ran away, but the Fu Han army didn't even touch a single hair of him, and his own soldiers Goshha also ran clean. Shi Liang proved that he was just a mouthful of garbage.

Perhaps this 'gossip' that is destined to spread can become a local 'good story' in Jingzhou a hundred years later, and it has been changed by countless people in the process of folk circulation, and it has been changed beyond recognition. Chen Ming didn't realize this 'danger', and he was now smiling proudly.
