Huang Jie was muttering that when the soldiers and horses of Jiangyan Town would not wait for a while, Chen Ming on the side of the Salt River with the right battalion of his personal guards was watching with great ambition as a large number of new battalions of the Fu Han Army crossed the Yunyan River and continued to march towards the battlefield on the south road.

He received a battle report from Huang Jie more than half an hour ago, saying that the Han army had completely defeated the Qing army's 5,000 musketeers, and at that time Chen Ming felt that Huang Jie had no chance of missing this battle. He immediately ordered the tank battalion to go south and into the battlefield, and then transferred more than thirty non-main forces and an artillery battalion to the south.

Chen Ming concluded that it was impossible for Fengsheng to lose this elite force that crossed the river, and that a large number of Qing troops would inevitably come to meet him later, and the counterattack of the Han army on the southern route was not smooth, and it was impossible to cut off the channel of the Salt River in time for the Hailan Cha Division, which was a conspicuous proof.

Chen Ming wanted to make persistent efforts, and after the victory of the elite duel between the Fu Han army and the Qing army, he immediately launched a duel with the Qing army's southern route army. Taking advantage of Fengsheng's forehead, a large number of Qing troops were transferred to the south road to meet Hailancha's stalls, and then defeated the Qing soldiers for a while. Then, the army can destroy the camp of the Qing soldiers in front of Jiangyan Town.

The small army of 20,000 passed through more than 10 pontoon bridges built by the logistics troops and sailors, and marched to the battlefield on the south road.

By the time Huang Jie completely defeated the Qing army of the Hailan Chabu, the whole army had been put into pursuit, and when the good news came, Chen Ming had already led the right battalion of the personal guard to the front line of the South Road battlefield. The fighting is still not progressing as expected.

The main reason is that Chen Ming thinks that Fengsheng's forehead is too simple. In order to ensure the retreat of the Hailan Investigation Department, Feng Shengyi did invest 'a lot' of troops on the south road, and this 'many' greatly exceeded Chen Ming's expectations. Fengsheng's forehead was very smart, and after hearing that the Fu Han army drove a boat to blow up the pontoon bridge on the Yunyan River, he immediately thought of the Hailan Investigation Department. It is clear that the Fu Han army is cutting off the retreat of the Hailancha army.

Immediately, Feng Sheng's quota increased to the south road by more than 5,000 people, and also released the green camp horse team of 2,000 people.

So before Chen Ming led his army into the battlefield of the South Road, there was a duel between the Qing army, which had no flintlock guns and only bird guns, and the Fu Han army, which lacked muskets, which fell into Chen Ming's eyes and had a feeling of traveling through time and space - such a war reminded him of the Taiping Army in history.

The duel between the latter and the Qing army, before the emergence of the Huai Army's new training of multi-foreign artillery and fast guns, was not it the Taiping Army, which mainly engaged in hand-to-hand combat, against the Qing army with half-shotguns and half-cold weapons?

Although the firearms of the Qing army were very backward, the Qing army that fought in array was rarely provoked by the Taiping army. Since the Jintian Uprising, the Taiping Army has had its own set of flexible and mobile strategies and tactics, and is good at fighting movement warfare and interspersed warfare, but it does not have the capital and ability to fight positional warfare and fortified battles.

The offensive of the southern road of the Fu Han army did not progress as expected, that is, they did not attack the fortified position well and could not overcome the battle.

Although Chen Ming transferred the head of the main battalion and the tank battalion, these are all hand-to-hand combat troops, whether it is the main battalion or the tank battalion, no one will wear iron armor and go straight to the musket array of the Qing army, right? Even if those muskets were shotguns, they were staggering in their lethality against ironclad.

And it takes a lot of time to make a shield car, so the progress of the South Road battlefield at that time was much behind Chen Ming's expectations. Not to mention that the Qing army still has a green battalion horse team of 2,000 people.

It wasn't until Chen Ming arrived at the front line with the right battalion of his personal guards that he heard the report of the front-line battalion officer and immediately understood the reason. "Mobilize all the mortars, flying thunder cannons, and their shells, and bring me as many as they want." The main musket battalions were all in the middle battlefield, and it was much easier to mobilize artillery to mobilize them from the state of pursuit and then transfer to the southern battlefield.

On the battlefield on the south road, the artillery fire of the Qing army was not very fierce. The artillery power of the Fu Han Army was also average before, but now he didn't transfer an artillery battalion? And there are also a lot of mortars in the right battalion of the guard, plus a flying thunder artillery group that is not needed on the battlefield in the middle. "Order the artillery battalion, quickly set up the position, and give me a shot when it's over."

What was the greatest advantage of the Fu Han army over the Qing army? Artillery. Don't use the advantage, that person's life will be filled forward, Chen Ming is stupid.

"Metropolitan Governor, Huang Brigade Marshal has good news. We have completely defeated the Qing army, and now we are pursuing the remnants of the enemy with all our might. ”

As soon as Chen Ming gave the order, the battlefield that worried him the most fell to the ground, and Huang Jie came with good news. Chen Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Open the channel to contact Jiangyan Town as soon as possible, and the artillery unit will enter Jiangyan Town." When Chen Ming was still on the shore of the Salt River, he received a letter from Miao Fuwei Feige - the Qing army was attacking fiercely, and he was unable to divide his troops to attack. It made Chen Ming also worried about the safety of Jiangyan Town.

Fortunately, Huang Jie did a good job, and defeated Hailancha so early. It is estimated that after noon [one o'clock in the afternoon], the main camp head will be able to get through the connection with Jiangyan Town.

In the battle between the elite of the Han army and the Qing army behind Jiangyan Town, it was only a little more than an hour before and after, and the battle was over. At the beginning of the hour, when the good news reached Chen Ming's hand, he looked at his pocket watch, and the hour hand had not yet pointed to 12 o'clock.

Isn't it enough to leave Huang Jie and them an hour to chase down the remnants of the enemy?

Thinking of this, Chen Ming stared at the Qing army in front of him, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. It's a pity that I sketched the 'encirclement'. If the Fu Han army here can block the passage of the Salt River on time, the whole army of Hailancha will be a turtle in the urn, and there will be no escape.

"Order the artillery battalion to pick up the pace." Chen Ming shouted. In fact, this order was less than a quarter of an hour after the previous one.

The artillery battalion did not speak for two quarters of an hour from unloading ammunition wagons and artillery wagons to arranging artillery positions. As a result, before the time was halfway through, Chen Ming's urging came again.

No, let's work harder.

On the banks of the Salt River, Hailancha was carried by two Goshkha and passed the pontoon bridge. There was a bloody streak on his neck. At this time, his eyes were still red, but he had no intention of dying. If a person fails to commit suicide once, few people have the courage to commit suicide a second time. Earlier, Captain Goshha beside him snatched his waist knife from him when he couldn't make a move.

The weight of the destruction of more than 10,000 elites made Hailancha really only think of dying to atone for his sins at that time. Even now that he has fled back to the south bank, his life is safe, and Hailancha doesn't know what his fate will be in the future, and whether Emperor Qianlong in Beijing will cut him with a knife......

But Hailancha can swear with his ancestors that as long as he can save his life, even as an ordinary Eight Banners vest soldier, he will fight Chen to the death to the end.

Chunshan, the deputy capital of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, was beaten into a hornet's nest by random guns, and Hailancha saw with his own eyes that Chunshan led three or four hundred remaining Eight Banners Horse Team to break through the blockade of Chen Wei's cavalry and crashed headlong into the crowd of pursuing Fu Han troops. Hundreds of good athletes fought hard and almost all of them died, but it also stopped the soldiers pursuing the Han army.

Among the more than 10,000 elites who came from Hebei, the Eight Banners athletes accounted for more than 30 percent, 1,000 horse troops, 1,000 new troops, and a firearms battalion and a guard battalion. How many of the 4,000 Eight Banners fled back to the south bank?

Highland's sin is too great.

There was a layer of corpses of the Qing army floating in the Yunyan River, and the Qing soldiers who jumped into the river in a panic were shot by the musketeers of the Fu Han army, and they died in the river one by one.

Huang Jie looked at the embarrassed defeated Qing army on the opposite side, and said in his heart: It's finally over. He won the final victory. In addition to the two or three thousand Qing soldiers who fled to the other side in disarray, only sporadic remnants of Qing soldiers were still fleeing in the vast area north of the Yunyan River. Before, he even saw a group of Qing army flag soldiers rushing towards Jiangyan Town in a panic, and was easily annihilated by the defenders guarding the rear of the town.

Chen Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the Qing soldiers who screamed and fled like a tide, thinking about the corpses and blood that covered the entire field, and even layered in some places, thinking about the soldiers who were killed and wounded by shells in the front army array, this battle was not dangerous, and the casualties were not as huge as expected, but the front army was really seriously killed and wounded, thinking of the officers and soldiers who were killed and injured in the battle, his eyes were hot, and hot tears flowed down.

"Woo woo woo ......"

On the edge of the Yunyan River, Ayintu was crying bitterly, and his 2,000 firearms battalion men and horses were almost lost on the other bank, and after the cowardice of escaping dissipated, Ayintu burst into tears and was ashamed, and he pulled out his saber: "Lost soldiers and generals, what face do I have to go to see the emperor......" After that, he was about to swing his knife and kill himself.

But a big bloody hand stopped his movements, and Ayintu looked at it with teary eyes, but it was Hailancha's pale face that seemed to be twenty years old, and in a short period of time, his original black hair color had turned white sideburns. Hyland sighed, "Why are you doing this? As for sins, I am greater than you. Let's ask the emperor for guilt together. ”

At the end of noon, the anxious Fengsheng in Hai'an Town finally received a return from the sentry rider.

However, the content of the return made Feng Sheng's forehead completely stunned, he looked at the sentry knight's closed mouth, but his ears roared, and he seemed to hear it, but he didn't seem to hear it.

And the people in the audience were all stunned, they couldn't believe their ears.

Hailancha was defeated and lost, and only two or three thousand of the more than 10,000 elites were left to flee back, this, how is this possible?

After the pontoon bridge of the Yunyan River was blown up by the ships of the Fu Han army, Feng Sheng'e immediately dispatched horse infantry to reinforce the battlefield on the south road, preserved the passage of the Yunyan River, and actively repaired the damaged pontoon bridge on the river. Everyone can think of the calculation of the Fu Han army, they want to annihilate the Hailan Investigation Department, but everyone is very confident and full of expectations for the Hailan Investigation Department.

They did not think that the Fu Han army had the strength to annihilate the Hailan Cha Department in a short period of time. The worst and worst result is that Hailancha will lose its foothold on the battlefield in the middle lane and retreat to the south bank......

Who would have thought that the battle of Hailancha would be so simply lost?

Feng Sheng's forehead instantly aged countless years, he opened his mouth, but found that his throat was hissing, he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.

At this time, he suddenly saw the smoke and dust rolling on the south road, and looked at the front battlefield, there were also sentry horses rushing to the front, Feng Sheng's forehead was shocked, he looked at the fast horses that arrived in both directions, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

The first to arrive was the sentinel of the south road, and the fast horse rushed to the front, and he saw that Feng Sheng'er had already walked out, and shouted anxiously from afar: "Report, report to the general, the south road is urgent, the south road is urgent--the main force of the Fu Han army dispatched the south road, and the cannons exceeded 100 pieces, and they were bombarded violently, and the momentum was like a rapid fire......

Then the fast horses on the frontal battlefield also galloped over: "Report to the general, the firepower of the Chen rebel army in Jiangyan Town has increased dramatically, and Wang Junmen is anxious to ask for cannons......"

Feng Sheng's forehead couldn't listen to Na Tanma's next words, but his mind was extremely clear at this moment: "Pass on my military order, withdraw troops on all fronts, ......" (to be continued.) )
