"............, look up at the eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. ……”

On the official road leading from Lianjiang to Fuzhou, the song of "Man Jianghong" filled the sky, and the military song was loud.

When the first division was in Hangzhou, it was stationed in the original Hangzhou Mancheng, and the West Lake was next to them, and many officers and soldiers of various departments worshiped the tomb of King Yue, so "Man Jianghong" also took advantage of the momentum to become the favorite military song of the entire first division.

When the Guards Brigade Headquarters of the Fuhan Army captured Changle, and then rushed to the mouth of the Minjiang River at Dazhangxi, the troops of the First Division also approached Fuzhou City in a big way.

Chen Ming didn't expect any field battle that the two-way attacking team could fight. It is said that since the decisive battle in northern Jiangsu, he has never fought a field battle happily. When the Qing army faced the Han army, it always defended to the death, to the death, and to the death.

The same is true of the Battle of Fuzhou this time. Moreover, the geography of Fuzhou is very head-scratching, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing water. From Lianjiang to Fuzhou, there are mountains, along the sea to the mouth of the Minjiang River, and then along the north bank of the Minjiang River to Fuzhou. The passages were as thin as a line.

If the Qing army in Fuzhou had taken advantage of the location and had a head-on duel with the Fu Han army, Chen Ming didn't think that the Tartars would be so stupid. After the Battle of Changzhou, the courage of the Qing army in the south has been broken. The magic weapon they thought of as 'stubbornness' was also broken, and the current battle of Fuzhou would never repeat the old things of Wuchang.

Very few people in the countryside of Fuzhou fled this time, on the contrary, many Fuzhou people in the city fled to the countryside one after another.

June is the time of rice harvest in Fuzhou, and the rice is about to ripen, how can they escape?

The people of Fuzhou, who were busy in the countryside, saw the army, and all fled with their heads in their hands, and the farm tools such as hoes were all lost, and those who really couldn't escape lay on the ground like toads, and their heads were dead in the soil.

And after the initial nervousness, how many people are not curious? They raised their heads and secretly looked at the Fu Han army, those soldiers wearing red flag uniforms and iron armor walked along the official road in a very regular manner, and no one wantonly destroyed crops and trampled on farmland.

After the peasants drove past the mighty procession, the only impression left in their minds was that they were full of spirit, high morale, and sang military songs.

The green battalion soldiers and village warriors they had seen in the past were completely different cognitions, especially the cannons.

Waterproof tarpaulin armor covers the artillery, artillery trucks, and ammunition trucks. The front head can't see the back end.

"Your Highness has a good idea, as soon as the cannon of the soldiers passed, the local people tamed a lot."

When the Fu Han army first marched into the army, the local peasants and ordinary people fled in panic one by one, but later many people gathered around to watch from a distance. Of course, there are spies from the Qing army here, but Chen Ming doesn't care.

"Haha, what's the difference between this military march and the parade?" Chen Ming's reaction to the people of Fuzhou was completely expected.

An army of 10,000 or 20,000 drove over, which was really shocking, not to mention that there were two or three hundred cannons.

In order to prepare the cattle and horses that pulled the cannons and the baggage carts, the Funing Mansion had been simply searched. Fortunately, this is the harvest season, not the cultivation season, and the people's demand for animal power is finally no longer at its peak.

The straight-line distance from Lianjiang to Fuzhou is only forty miles, but Fujian is mountainous, and there is no direct road from Lianjiang to Fuzhou at all, so it is necessary to go around the official road along the north bank of the Minjiang River, pass through Guantou Town, Tingjiang Town, Mawei three places, and then you can kill under the city of Fuzhou.

The official road is not wide or fair, and it is still close to the Min River. The gunboats of the Qing army could completely block the official road. Wu Bida sent Ye Xiangde, the chief soldier of Taiwan Town, to lead his sailors to wander the Minjiang River, and the Penghu Sailors were divided into two, one remained in Mawei and the other behind Langqiyu.

The sailor who stayed behind Langqiyu was used by Wu Bida to hold back the marching route and transportation line of the Fu Han army, and the wanderers on the river could fire a sailor division that could open artillery, how could the Fu Han army still have a way to swagger along the official road along the river after Guantou Town? It is true that the cannons in their team are more powerful than the Qing army, but they can't swing the cannons in the army from Guantou Town to Mawei, in short, this trick is to jam the neck of the Fu Han army.

Wu Bida completely moved the fleet of sailors to Langqiyu, but it was really not a decision made in a daze.

The geographical environment of Fuzhou determines the difficulty of advancing by land, and it is also difficult to attack by water without breaking through Langqiyu.

Chen Ming was not worried at all. He won't be stumped here, he only needs to break through Guantou Town, the east gate of Fuzhou City, today.

……

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sound ......of artillery rang out in Guantou Town.

The attacking troops were preparing in the trenches of the starting position, and Pan Mancang had the soldiers in his squad check their equipment, and as the vanguard, their team would rush to the Qing positions outside the town on the eve of the artillery stopping.

Yes, now Pan Mancang is already an officer, and he has been transferred from the 1st Garrison Division to the 1st Division. After the death of their veteran officer, Pan Mancang, who returned from his wounds, was sent to the 1st Division, and then automatically promoted to the rank of corporal, although the rank of corporal was still maintained.

"I'll leave it to you!" The battalion officer trusted Pan Mancang's team very much, and after leaving such a sentence, he left with the people of the battalion headquarters without looking back, while the four mortars and corresponding shells brought by the battalion officer were left in the vanguard.

After the battalion officer and others left, Shen Yingjie, the deputy officer, sat down with Liu Lei, a corporal artillery officer who led the mortar artillery. Neither of them was afraid of war, and naturally there was no talk of war in the conversation. Shen Yingjie took the cigarette handed over by Liu Lei, and smiled enviously: "Phoenix Terrace? I said brother, yes. Your box of cigarettes topped me with a Zhaoping Lake. "Fenghuangtai is the highest-grade cigarette of the Fu Han Army, using the best tobacco leaves, adding flavor to neutralize the taste, even people who smoke cigarettes for the first time will not say that the taste is unpleasant and bad.

Liu Lei also smiled, "I'm a lonely person, just this hobby, I don't have to enjoy it." What else are you left for!? ”

"Alone?"

"My wife hasn't settled yet, so I'm alone."

"So you look like you're twenty years old, huh?" How many people in the world are still married at this age? Liu Lei is an officer, and there will definitely be no shortage of money to spend in his hands. Shen Yingjie felt very strange that Liu Lei had not yet married. But he didn't say anything else, what else is hidden here, "Why is the big husband without a wife." After this battle, carry one home. I'd better leave it behind. ”

"It's just that when you have a home, a man has to be able to bear the burden of a family on his shoulders. Brother, I have to send eighty percent of my monthly military salary to my family, otherwise the family will have to drink the northwest wind! "It's going to be a war, so let's talk about it lightly. Shen Yingjie took out his own Zhaoping Lake, which was the cheapest flavored cigarette in the military supply and marketing cooperatives of the Fu Han Army.

There were cigarettes in the military supply, but they were in small quantities, and those with a slightly greater addiction were not enough to smoke. So what should you do if you want to smoke? Go to the army supply and marketing cooperative.

Liu Lei looked at Shen Yingjie in surprise, isn't it, really smoking Zhaoping Lake? This thing can buy five pieces of silver for a silver dollar!!

"Beep beep ......" a sharp whistle sounded in my ears. A team of troops was invested, and Pan Mancang was the first to jump out of the trench, holding the sword that was still his old team officer: "Rush, rush up!" ”

As long as they rush into the trenches of the Qing army, they are a pile of waste. It doesn't matter if they fire a salvo or a volley, all they want is to break through to the position, just to fight with the white edge.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom......" The artillery of the Qing army, which had been silent, also fired. The firing range is not very far, only three or five hundred meters. But this distance is definitely the most important distance in this fight.

The soldiers of the Fu Han Army who rushed over from the opposite side were knocked down one after another, but the number was very small, and even if there were many of them, the morale of the soldiers was high in the first attack, and the rest of the people would continue to bury their heads in the charge!

The charging Fu Han soldiers also fought back with muskets, but even if their archery skills were successful, their efforts were in vain. The sound of artillery shells and fragmentary muskets of the Qing army harvested the lives of one soldier after another of the Han army. There are also shotguns, when the soldiers of the Fu Han army rushed to three or four hundred meters away, the cannon sound of the Fu Han army has stopped, and the shotguns fired by the Qing army's cannons, one by one projectiles swept on the battlefield like a storm, and the head of a soldier of the Fu Han army was hit, and the whole head was instantly destroyed by the projectile like a ripe watermelon......

There were also shotguns that burst out of endless pieces of broken iron, and a piece of shrapnel slashed diagonally in front of Pan Mancang's eyes, harvesting the lives of two soldiers of the Fu Han Army in a row. The second shooter who was hit had most of his neck cut off, and his head was hanging down on his flat neck with a layer of flesh......

Shen Yingjie had a white bandage on his arm at this time, and his face was stained with the blood of not knowing whether it was himself or his comrades, and in his sight, the Qing soldiers dozens of meters away had already stood up one after another, holding a musket with a bayonet in his hand, or a bright knife and gun. "Grenade ready!"

A few seconds later, thirty or forty grenades were thrown, and a grenade was thrown at the opposite side. Some soldiers fell on both sides, but the Qing army was outnumbered, and hundreds of people continued to resolutely rush towards the Fu Han army. Many of them were flag soldiers wearing cotton armor, and they didn't know how they endured such a hot weather.

Liu Lei commanded two mortar guns and bombarded the Qing defense line with all his strength at the maximum range. His face was already hideous, and he didn't care about his safety, stepped on the ammunition box, straightened up and held a telescope to observe the enemy's situation.

"Bayonet ready!"

The deputy platoon commander of the second platoon roared, and the deputy platoon commander was Pan Mancang, and the second platoon commander of the second platoon where Pan Mancang was was hit in the chest by a lead bullet, and the lead bullet pierced the breastplate, although he did not immediately take the life of the second platoon leader, the second platoon commander was also seriously injured, and this deputy platoon commander could only serve as Pan Mancang's deputy.

A bayonet with a bright handle was loaded into the card slot. The Qing soldiers on the opposite side are closer. Another grenade was dropped, and the grenade on the opposite side was also thrown over, and in the explosion and gunsmoke, the two teams of Fu Han troops in front and behind merged into one, Shen Yingjie yelled and rushed forward, "Brothers, kill me with me!" ”

A hand-to-hand fight inevitably took place.

The Qing soldiers with swords and guns swept in, and the soldiers of the Fu Han Army also stood up to a triangular formation composed of bayonets, spears, and short knives, and rushed towards the Qing army without cowardice. Fragments of gunfire rang out in my ears.

Screams and screams, blood stains flowed down the wounds, soaking the land that had caused countless people to die.

There seemed to be a dead silence all around, and the flag soldier opposite Pan Mancang could no longer hear any sound in his ears, and all his will was glaring at Pan Mancang in front of him. With both hands, he grabbed the knife that had pierced his chest, feeling the pain as the blade pulled out of his body little by little. The flag soldier covered his chest with both hands, but he couldn't stop the blood gushing out, he didn't even have the strength to stand on his heels, and he stumbled and half-knelt down, but his head still raised and looked at Pan Mancang in front of him, and his eyes showed disbelief.

One moment he was expecting that he would be able to kill an officer of the Fu Han Army, but the next moment his spear was knocked open by a foot or two, and then he was stabbed through the body by his opponent when the middle door was wide open.

The strength passed away with the loss of blood, and when his blood stained the ground under him, he couldn't even maintain this half-kneeling posture, and it was difficult to open his eyelids again, and at this time Pan Mancang in his eyes had already turned around, shouting loudly, waving his war knife and killing another Qing soldier.

He couldn't see the next situation anymore, he closed his eyes, his body gradually fell to the ground, and the originally cold ground seemed to become warmer, which was the temperature of his blood.

Shen Yingjie on the other side also killed his opponent with a loud roar, the double-shot handcuff on his waist had already run out of bullets, and Shen Yingjie didn't have time to reload, and at this moment he was holding a snatched musket in his hand.

In the duel of courage, Shen Yingjie had the last laugh, so this time he also had the last laugh in the bayonet fight.

As soon as he pulled out the muzzle bayonet from the chest of the Qing soldier, he saw a Qing soldier covered in blood staggering from behind Pan Mancang's back, holding up the bayonet, Shen Yingjie shouted anxiously: "Be careful, officer!" ”

Being reminded like this, Pan Mancang was slightly on one side, and the bayonet penetrated directly through the edge of his abdomen, and then stuck on the rattan armor under the breastplate, not even piercing his waist, just scratching his waist and jumping fiercely, although he was not stabbed, it still hurt so much that Pan Mancang couldn't help but let out a miserable scream.

It's just a scream, he still used all his strength when he was injured, waved the long knife in his hand and swept it back, and when he looked back, the Qing soldier who attacked him from behind had already covered his neck and fell to the ground.

Pan Mancang's military uniform was already stained with blood, both from the Qing army and his own.

Fang Cai's fight had consumed too much of his strength, and now he had been stabbed, even if it was not a vital point, the blood flowed, and he had no strength to continue fighting. He panted and tried to stand, but a stumble in his footsteps made him almost fall, the knife was stuck in the ground, relying on the strength of the blade support, Pan Mancang was half-kneeling on one foot. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't stand up, so he could only gasp and look ahead. Right around him, three or four hundred enemy soldiers were fighting hard, and in every breath someone was hit and fell. There is the Han army, and there is the Qing army.

There were few people in the Han army and many Qing soldiers. However, after a short period of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Fu Han Army, who had few people, forced the Qing army, which had many people, to keep retreating, and there were very few flag soldiers wearing cotton armor in the Qing army sequence.

Hand-to-hand combat between infantry with bayonets is the most brutal mode of warfare and the most testing of the combat effectiveness of troops. And the Fu Han army, which was fully armoured, was obviously much stronger than the Qing army.

The battle began at two o'clock in the afternoon, and after half past three, no more gunfire was heard in the whole town of Guantou.

The corpse of the Qing army was carried out for burial, according to the inventory, a total of 157 flag soldiers were killed, and 86 people were captured alive, except for 52 people who were solved on the spot, these people were either seriously injured, or they were holding bloodstained weapons in their hands, Chen Ming had a lot of food, and he still fed them?

The corpses of the green camp were 320 and more than 500 people were captured. Seven cannons were captured, and eight cannons were nailed to the fire door. Then there were shotguns, knives, guns, ammunition, and food.

"Your Highness, there is news from the sixth child, Wu Xiqun is ready."

"Good. Let Wu Xiqun act immediately. If the Langqiyu Sailor can really surrender without a fight, the dark camp will make a great contribution. "Chen Ming hasn't entered Guantou Town yet," go and order Yang Shijin to be cautious tonight. ”

"Tell him to be careful, the embankment is fraudulent!" The secret camp has been 'operating' Wu Xiqun for so long, Ye Xiangde has been pulled into the water, and now it's time to close the net, but don't drift away and run away from the big fish. "Don't go big fish!" This is the key to opening the door to victory in the Battle of Fuzhou.

……

Night shrouds the mouth of the Min River. Langqiyu Qing Army Naval Division Battalion.

Wu Bida looked at the battle report delivered by Fuzhou City with an iron face, and felt a swelling pain in his head. The town of Guantou was lost, and the land fight was too unsatisfactory. But no matter how ideal the land war is, can't you push everything on their sailors? There is no need for Mingfu to say that Wu Bida also wants to completely annihilate the Han army and naval division in one battle, but this is pure wishful thinking.

The strength of the naval division of the Fuhan Army is not weaker than Wu Bida at all, not to mention that there is also a Zhang Qiu fleet in Haitan. If Wu Bida had the ability to solve the Fuhan Army Naval Division in one battle, he wouldn't have to deal with Zhang Qiu for so long. Ming Fu pinned his hopes on him to defeat the enemy in one battle, so it was better to pray that God would send Zhang Qiu and the Fu Han army to the bottom of the sea with a typhoon.

"Dad, you take a sip of tea first." Wu Xiqun looked at his father worriedly, since Lianjiang was taken by the Fu Han army, the corners of Wu Bida's mouth were blistering, his eyes were bloodshot, and even his meals were greatly reduced. Let's let him rest assured that he will be able to recuperate in the future.

"Dad, my son won't watch your old man fall. In the future, you will live with peace of mind, Chen Biao's thief, his son will definitely take his head for you to see. "Wu Xiqun can't bear to overwork his father.

Wu Bida drank a cup of ginseng tea served by his son, and it didn't take long for him to fall asleep deeply. Wu Xiqun's teardrops and the broken bead curtain flowed non-stop, kneeling in front of Wu Bida, who had fallen asleep, unwilling to get up for a long time.

He is unfilial, absolutely unfilial. But Wu Xiqun really didn't want his father to follow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to immerse himself in the sea, and Chen Biao, who was very cruel to the Wu family in Tong'an, was not loyal to the Fu Han army, and it was Lu Mao who changed his banner a few days ago, not Chen Biao. Wu Bida has always made people stare at Chen Biao, he really didn't change the banner, and he didn't raise the blood tiger banner of the Han Army!

Wu Xiqun was completely relieved now.

At this time, if he did not surrender early, like Yan Yan in Taiwan and Lu Mao in Zhangzhou City, he had a great fortune, and he was greedy enough to hold on to the military power, and in the future, he would surrender again, and it would be better for Yan Yan and Lu Mao. If Chen Biao does not surrender, he will inevitably die in the future, and surrendering is not a seamless egg, Wu Xiqun also dares to fight for his life to dig a hole in Chen Biao's body.

After getting a conclusive letter, Wu Xiqun made up his mind.

Standing up from the ground, Wu Xiqun and his relatives carefully carried his father to bed, and then asked his relatives to fetch a basin of water. After washing his face, all the plans began......

"Fourth master, rest assured, everything is fully prepared. As long as Dai Tingdong and Zhang Shen came in, they didn't want to go out again. ”

"Ye Xiangde is ready."

Wu Xiqun took one last look at his father and prayed in his heart: "I must act smoothly tonight......"

The next morning...... (To be continued.) )
