"Boom, boom, boom......"

The flying thunder cannon that the Hunan Green Battalion did not see made the defenders of Jiangling City 'eat' to their heart's content. Especially the team that came out of Nanjimen.

It was an army of 5,000 people, 3,000 Yichang Green Battalion + 2,000 Jingzhou Banner Soldiers, among which the Jingzhou Banner Soldiers also put out a nine-in-ten chain formation, but unfortunately their fighting will was poor, and the spirit of sacrifice was weak and made people vomit, but they were bombarded by artillery fire for a while, in addition to the flying thunder cannon and some small cannons, the array was unstable, and the army's heart was shaken.

When the musketeers on both sides fired, the rapid rout of the flag soldiers turned the 5,000-strong army out of the city into a complete joke. After the collapse of the 2,000 Jingzhou banner soldiers, the 3,000 Yichang Green Battalion was defeated, if it were not for the horse team that had suffered a big loss on the right flank of the Fu Han Army, which had been severely taught a lesson by the Tiger Squat Artillery and Cavalry Battalion of the Fu Han Army, and rushed to the pursuing Fu Han Army in the oblique place, how many of these 5,000 Manchu Han soldiers could return to the Nanji Gate is only God knows.

The musketeers of the two battalions moved to the northwest, and then turned south to the left flank of the Hunan Green Battalion, and when they were 200 meters away from the Hunan Green Battalion, the musketeers of the two battalions stood still, and then juggled like a sharp whistle, with the left end of the line as the apex, and the right end shifted to the south, like a chopstick from a vertical pendulum to a horizontal pendulum, quickly and neatly from the five-way column to the five-column horizontal line.

"Let's go!"

With a shout, as the whistle sounded, the musketeers of the two battalions formed two arrays and pressed down towards the left flank of the Hunan Green Battalion.

Two hundred meters? It's a short distance. For the musketeers who were in formation, it only took two minutes for both sides to come into range. "Bang bang bang bang ......" gunpowder smoke filled the left flank of the Hunan Green Battalion.

The sound of gunfire is the bell of the Hunan Green Camp. The Hunan Green Battalion, which was crumbling in the counterattack of the Fu Han Army, really couldn't support it. Not all of the tens of thousands of Hunan soldiers came from Zhengan Town, and Zhang Rui's headquarters only had more than 4,000 people, less than half.

At the beginning of the war, the attacking troops with the brave Zhenxiao soldiers as their fists were defeated by the Fu Han army, and the Zhen Zhen soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and then the counterattack of the Fu Han army, which had made the Zhen Xiao soldiers have to parry with all their strength, and even had to be helped by the Miao native soldiers. That is to say, although the teams on the left and right flanks of the Qing soldiers are from Hunan, they are no longer directly related to the Zhenxiao soldiers, and perhaps some of their battalion heads are also stationed in Xiangxi, but it does not mean that their combat effectiveness and will can be the same as the Zhenxiao soldiers.

In particular, the 'easy' rout of the Jiangling defenders, not to mention the complete liberation of the battalion head that Chen Ming left in the rear, but also made Chen Ming say that he could draw two more battalions from it to add to the attack on the Hunan Green Battalion.

"Tell Zeng Yinglong, resist me, resist!" Zhang Rui's face has long lost the confidence before the battle, and he is now like a wolf king who tends to lose the upper hand in the challenge of his opponent, full of fear and irritability.

Zeng Yinglong was the commander of the left wing of the Qing army.

"Tell the people in Gangneung City that I want reinforcements, reinforcements immediately. Let them slap Chen Shun's ass for me again, again! "For the soldiers who are going to Jiangling City to report the news, Zhang Rui is also roaring irritably." Tell Xue Shiyan, and tell the officials in the city that after the town is finished, don't want to keep Jiangling City......"

The current crisis is not what Zhang Rui imagined. In his original assumption, he would be able to defeat Chen Ming completely. Not to mention that Chen Ming's army was completely annihilated, he could also be half-crippled and win a beautiful battle. And the reality is extremely cruel, not only can he not fight a beautiful big victory, but his own family is likely to be crippled by Chen Ming. To avoid this most cruel scene, the only lifesaver that Zhang Rui can grasp is the defenders in Jiangling City.

The frightened Xue Shiyan had just sat down on the chair when he saw Abkai striding into the room with one arm hanging from him. Abkai was shot in the arm while charging, and thanks to his cotton armor, he didn't cut corners, otherwise Abukai's arm would not have been hung, but scrapped.

"Brother Chunlin, Shicai is outside the city, Xue and his sons, thank you for saving your life."

When the whole army was defeated, without Abkai's sacrificial blow, the pursuing Han army was slowed down, and it was not impossible that the 5,000 Manchu Han soldiers and horses who left the city would be killed and wounded. Because the defeat of the 2,000 banner soldiers was too sudden, and it was too cheating.

Abkai's own family knows their own affairs, and Yichang Town may not be Chen Wei's opponent, but they really won't be so defeated. The Jingzhou garrison flag soldiers have not fought for many years, and the skills of this war have been forgotten. was bombarded by the cannon flying thunder cannon, and then hit by the platoon gun, it was so unhappy!

But these are already facts of the past. What they need to face most now is how to deal with the current situation.

The Hunan Green Camp is already completely at a disadvantage, and if they retreat into the city and don't come out, Zhang Rui will be in great trouble. So when Chen turned his head and relied on Yichang Town and the banner soldiers and men in the city, could he really hold Jiangling City?

The Daotai and the prefect in Jiangling City have no say in this kind of matter at all, and perhaps the status of the Daotai in peacetime is better than that of the general army, but when the war really came, Xue Shiyan held the command power tightly. And Abkai's trust in Xue Shiyan is obviously more than that of Daotai and the prefect.

Therefore, before the fast horse sent by Zhang Rui for help arrived at Jiangling City, the Shuijin Gate opened again, and Abkai led the remaining six or seven hundred horses to gallop out, followed by the green battalion soldiers of Yichang Town led by Xue Shiyan, and the garrison flag soldiers of Jiangling City stopped moving, they only needed to stay in the city honestly to defend and respond.

……

In this battle, Chen Ming's purpose was very simple: to defeat the Hunan soldiers and defeat the Jiangling defenders who went out of the city. In such a way as to suppress the morale of the defenders to the greatest extent, Chen Ming really wanted to take the Jingzhou Mansion City and deal a heavy blow to the Manchu Dynasty.

As long as he takes Jiangling City and washes all the banner officials and nobles in Jingzhou City, regardless of age or age, it will inevitably shake the whole world. At that time, Qianlong had to regard the encirclement and suppression of the expeditionary troops going south as the first priority to quell the chaos, which could alleviate the pressure on the base areas to a certain extent and share the worries of his cheap father.

In Chen Ming's small abacus, he would not kill all the bannermen in the city. He only needs to kill the officials and nobles, and those who are qualified to take the lead, and then drive the twenty or thirty thousand bannermen here all the way to Wuchang.

One of the things that Chen Ming wanted to do the most was to use the flag men as a 'shield', drive them to fill the ditch and fill the moat, and then look at the defenders' choice with a smile.

I wonder if the Qing soldiers defending the city at that time had the courage to 'kill'?

So he must take Gangneung City. This is a very important move in Chen Ming's next strategic layout!

Isn't it cruel to do that? Hehe. Is this cruelty? Take a look at the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs. It's a report and a report. Besides, he doesn't really want to completely wipe out a certain nation, with a population of one or two million, it's really a bit unbearable to kill them all. But the officials and aristocrats of this nation, or rather the elite among them, were not enough to kill......
