Retreating from Yulang Creek is just the beginning. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info tens of thousands of troops entered Yushan County, trying to force the main force of the Ming army to fight to the death by besieging the city and sending reinforcements.

The strong troops drawn by the Ganshan Green Battalion to train the Spanish phalanx were used in the main battlefield to nearly twice as many as the main force of the Ming army. However, with the emergence of the grenadiers, several years ahead of schedule, and the first cry in the east, the phalanx of the Qing army immediately turned into a papier-mâché form, and was torn to pieces before even the slightest resistance had time.

Relying on the superiority of the cavalry several times that of the Ming army, the defeated army retreated across the Yulang River, but not only the troops behind the palace, almost all the auxiliaries and those who could not be found at all, but also the heavy grain and straw were all abandoned in the camp under the city, and the Ming army that advanced in formation was driven over like a sheep before the fire could be ignited.

If it weren't for the elite drawn from the north, if it wasn't for the only one direction, if it weren't for the fact that the Ming army really couldn't launch a pursuit when the cavalry was still at a disadvantage, I was afraid that this Qing army would have completely collapsed long ago.

However, when they walked on the way back to Guangxin Fucheng, the people along the road for dozens of miles had been killed by them half a year ago, and now they couldn't even find a target for plunder. For a time, hunger, exhaustion, hesitation, fear, pain, anger, etc., all the bad emotions echoed in the hearts of every Qing army.

Transferred from the north to this place, he left his homeland, nothing more than to seek a wealth and nobility, and as a result, he made great efforts to compile and train a Raushzi phalanx, which happened to become the target of others. First, the ricocheting shot, followed by the earth-shattering thunder, made the whole army spread a rebellious mood of "it is better to directly use the old tactics to fight hard with the Ming army, maybe you can still win".

Once this kind of emotion is generated, it will inevitably need a release, Hong Chengchou They don't dare, not only the official position of the Southeast Economic Strategy, but more importantly, Hong Butcher was also a fierce god who could stop Xiao Erye's crying in Shaanxi back then. These Qing soldiers all grew up in this shadow, and they still had the power to do so, of course they didn't dare to move Hong Chengchou, but the Jesuit monk was originally hostile to the generals, so he naturally became the punching bag of the Qing army.

"This red-haired, blue-eyed monster isn't a good thing!"

"That's it, it's hard to say that it's the Ming Army's meticulous work, specially tricking us into practicing this formation and blowing them up."

"It must be so, and he must not be spared."

"Yes, kill this monster and avenge the villagers!"

“……”

It is difficult to break the anger of the public, and the law does not blame the public, anyone can understand these truths, Yang Guozhong and Yang Taizhen of Ma Weiyi, and Wang Zhen of Tumubao, all of which are the same.

More and more Qing troops were agitated, and even more and more of them were instigated, and there were some Qing army officers who looked down on the Jesuit monks unpleasantly. And now they are about to use this to vent their fears, how do James, the guy from Tessie, think he is the right person.

Soon, they came to the vicinity of Hong Chengchou's car, and James, as a staff member, was naturally by Hong Chengchou's side for consultation, and they were going to pull this guy out and chop it into meat sauce now!

"What are you doing?"

With the sound coming, Hong Chengchou got off the carriage and appeared in front of the troublesome Qing army.

It's just that at this moment, this character who once frightened everyone is completely old-fashioned, and even twenty or thirty years older than before the collapse of the army.

The anger has been vented, and he has been overwhelmed by the military pressure of the Ming army, so he naturally looks old. However, when Hong Chengchou opened his mouth, a pair of cold rays shot from the blurred eyes of the Qing army that even looked left and near swept over one Qing army after another, as if it was a substance, and immediately restrained the throats of these angry Qing soldiers, and some of them even swallowed saliva unconsciously, and subconsciously took half a step back.

This is the momentum that has been cultivated by killing hundreds of thousands, millions of people, even if it is just in such an old man who has stepped into the coffin with one foot, it still makes the thousands of Qing soldiers present stunned.

"The old man knows what you want to say, the phalanx has become a target, it must be a good thing done by this weird-looking guy. Therefore, if you slaughter him, you will be able to vent your anger, and you will be able to avenge your grievances if you die on the battlefield, yes or no. ”

Hong Chengchou spit out all the thoughts of these Qing soldiers weakly, which made the scene even more silent, especially those Qing soldiers who consciously looked at Hong Chengchou, although most of the armor on their bodies had been thrown on the battlefield, but they were still naked in front of this old scripture.

However, in the next moment, I saw that his words changed, and even his voice suddenly became intense.

"Mr. Zhan is my Hong Chengchou's staff, and his methods can only be promoted in the army with the consent of the old man, so are you going to kill me Hong to pay tribute to those soldiers who died in battle?!"

Jiwei is Hong Chengchou's only reliance now. And it is precisely that for these Qing troops in the Ganshan Green Battalion, this coercion that has existed in their hearts since they were young or young has suddenly become heavy at this moment as Hong Chengchou's volume rises, and they can't even speak for a while.

"Since there is no one who wants to kill me Hong Chengchou, then the old man will show you a way to live. The cavalry of the traitor Chen Wen is far inferior to our army, and he can't catch up for the time being, as long as our army returns to Fucheng, with the city defense and fortress that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, he can't help our army. Moreover, that earth-shattering thunder ...... of his"

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou saw that some of the Qing soldiers trembled involuntarily, but he didn't stop talking.

"His earth-shattering thunder, the old man saw it when he was in the Ministry of Industry, don't look at such a little thing, but it is time-consuming and laborious to make, and it costs a lot. The traitor Chen Wen only has a total of eight prefectures, and he has raised so many soldiers, and his armor and weapons are all the best choices, how can he still have silver to make this thing in large quantities. As far as the old man can see, there are only so many things in his hands, otherwise at the beginning of the battle, the thieves would have a heaven-shattering thunder in their hands, would they still need to be killed so much? ”

Hong Chengchou's analysis stabilized the morale of the army at that time, and even diverted the original plans of these Qing troops. Seeing that the Qing army who were making trouble accepted his words, or that they were originally so eager for it, and he just said it, Hong Chengchou took his last breath and poured out his last words.

"Our army was defeated in the field battle, but the casualties of the thieves were not small, the city was as solid as a rock, and the fortress was unshakable. Back in Fucheng, our army waited for work at ease, and it was not impossible to turn defeat into victory. Just now, the old man has sent people back, and good wine and meat have been prepared in the city, and thousands of women have been sent to the camp for use. After defending the city, everyone has a lot of silver, and those who have made meritorious contributions can be directly promoted to officers, and those who are willing to continue to serve me Hong Chengchou, the old man will not be stingy at all. ”

After saying this, Hong Chengchou turned around and walked towards the carriage, but the Qing soldiers who were shouting and screaming to cut James into pulp just now looked at each other, and their original momentum was gone, so they had to silently return to the original state of defeat, and continue to walk in the direction of Fucheng with their heads down.

However, as soon as Hong Chengchou got into the carriage, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole person fell softly in the carriage.

The army's heart was like this, and Hong Chengchou's staff and attendants did not dare to speak out, so they had to get into the carriage for necessary treatment. When Hong Chengchou woke up again, it happened that James was still in the car, probably afraid of those Qing troops.

"Thank you, Mr. Jingluo, the Lord will bless a good person like you."

"Good guys?"

In James's stiff Chinese, Hong Chengchou, who was already as much as gold paper, actually showed a hint of mockery, and then shook his head and said: "I don't care what happens to your lord, I just want to know, that fortress is really as you said, even in Taixi, there is no way to directly attack it?" ”

"No, absolutely not!"

"That's good."

James's head shook like a rattle, and Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered to go down and speed up and return to the city.

"Since the fortress can't be forcibly captured, I hope there will be enough time to further strengthen the city."

………………

When the Qing army returned to the city of Guangxinfu, the officials of the Nanchang shogunate had already made all preparations as Hong Chengchou requested.

That night, all the ordinary people of Guangxin Mansion City were requisitioned by the Nanchang Shogunate, and the young women entered the camp as military prostitutes, and used the bullying of women to vent their fears, while other people, regardless of Huang Tong and Bai Shou, whether widows and widows were lonely, were all bombarded outside the city with men, and the fortifications of the city and the fortress outside the city were strengthened overnight.

In the barracks in the city, there were drunk Qing soldiers everywhere ravaging the young women who were caught in the camp, and the terrible cries came and went, and occasionally the fierce women resisted or died, but none of them would not be retaliated against by the Qing army, even if they had become a corpse, most of them would not let go.

In comparison, there was no such tragedy outside the city, but the wives and daughters of the family were bullied and ravaged by the Qing army, and they had to strengthen the fortifications under the watchful eye of the defenders. Sorrow comes from it, like a ghost crying at night in the wilderness outside the city, which makes people shudder.

The voices of the camp and outside the city reached the city, and the officials and generals of the gentry and the wealthy families all closed their homes, but even so, the atmosphere of fear did not diminish in the slightest, so that there were always bursts of sobbing in the homes of these people.

Guangxin Fucheng is located in the Ming army into the hinterland of Jiangxi must pass through the road, with the current situation, these two cities in whose hands, means that Jiangxi province belongs.

After the construction of the four provincial capitals, there is already a fortress north of Guangxin Mansion City to form an angle with it. As a result, the geographical location of Fucheng is surrounded by the Xinjiang River in the west and south, and there is a fortress in the north, and the east of Zhejiang is a little weak.

In fact, Hong Chengchou had earlier moved the idea of building a fortress east of Guangxin Fucheng, or to fortify the city defense east of Fucheng, but the consumption of Jiangxi's army depended on Jiangnan, and the gentry in Jiangnan were not easy to manipulate, and they had to be offered to the Manchu court and those relatives and nobles, and the assets were not inexhaustible. Hong Chengchou first built two fortresses in Fuyang and Qingtian after the fiasco, plus a large expansion of the army, and later expanded the southeast warp standard, as a result, the plan of this fortress was abandoned like Chen Wen's Yushan fortress.

This time, the Qing army returned from a crushing defeat, and if you want to minimize the losses, you must hold on to it. The distance between the castle and the fortress is not far, and there are parapet walls and moats to connect, and there are moats and other defensive facilities outside, which is the location of the fortified city of one and twin. However, compared with the fortress, the defense capability of the square Guangxin Mansion City is obviously much lower, so seizing all the time to strengthen the fortifications is naturally the key at present.

Hong Chengchou knows this truth, and so does Chen Wen. A few days later, Chen Wen's army entered the confines of Guangxin City.

There are batches of Qing cavalry outside the city, their purpose is to harass the siege troops and grain transport teams of the Ming army and Guangxin Fucheng, at a glance, the low walls, moats, moats, wooden stakes and other defensive facilities outside the city are lined up, and the city is full of defenders, and there are even special batteries and the fortress, compared to last year, Chen Wen broke through Li Benshen's army, taking advantage of the situation to pursue until this time, it is obviously better, its complexity and easy to defend and difficult to attack, The fortress of Anhua Town, which had blocked the Qing army on the northern front many times, immediately became a pediatric as long as it was compared.

"Hong Chengchou has really not been idle this year."

After putting away the binoculars, Chen Wen couldn't help but sigh. Compared with his former opponents, Hong Chengchou's ability is too much stronger, the saying in history that "the first merit of opening the Qing Dynasty" can be said to be well deserved, and now he is forced to come to the southeast, although it is said that the two encirclement and suppression have ended in failure, but his reaction is decisive, dare to be the first, and the advantages of worrying about victory and defeat are still forcing him to danger every time, and even if he wins a big victory, he cannot further expand his strength.

"However, this time you are wrong to rely too much on Western military science. This is not a mistake, but it is used on Lao Tzu, but it is a big mistake, because playing the modern army, even if you are wise, you may not have one or two books on modern military history on the stalls of later generations."

After seeing the city defense of Guangxin Mansion, Chen Wen is no longer in a hurry, what he wants is Hong Chengchou's head, and even Jiangxi Province can be a giveaway, since Hong Chengchou has made up his mind to stick to this, he obviously will not escape.

"Then here, put an end to the grudge between you and me under this fortress, Hong Chengchou." To be continued.
