Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

The main force of the Ming army in Longyou Town had just arrived near the riverbank, and it was located behind the Lingxi defense line of the Quzhou Green Camp.

Since the Ming army entered the Quzhou territory, Chen Jin placed the only standard camp in his hand, the standard camp of Jinhua Town, the green camp of Quzhou and the water camp on the west bank of Lingxi for deployment, as a barrier for Quzhou to govern the county seat of Xi'an. As for the sentinels who were used to detect the enemy's situation, they did not all retreat to the west bank of Lingxi, but left a very small part to hide some relatively safe places in order to prepare for the counterattack after the reinforcements were assembled.

Although these troops in his hands are almost the same as the Ming army in terms of numbers, and the water camp has an overwhelming advantage, Chen Jin did not dare to be careless, the results of last year's encirclement and suppression of Jinhua and the answers he received from Zhang Guoxun made him not dare to report any confidence in the field battle of the Ming army with roughly the same number of troops. This feeling is very familiar to him, it seems that he had it more than ten years ago, the only difference is that their roles have been reversed - at that time, he was still in the Daguanning Iron Cavalry, known as "Nine Thousand and One Hundred Thousand" in later generations, but it was the Jiannu who still made trouble in Liaodong who gave him this feeling!

Of course, in Chen Jin's view, there is still a big gap between the current Ming army and his Manchurian Zhenyi masters, at least at that time he didn't even dare to have the idea of fighting, and now at least he dares to take pig-like teammates like Ma Jinbao out to take advantage of the geographical advantage to defend. I just don't know if it's because he's bolder or less.

Chen Jin didn't really understand how a new army, which had been in the army for less than two years, had achieved such brilliant results in the past two years, but in his opinion, he wanted to succeed in Zhejiang. It is not enough to have strong infantry, and without a strong enough water battalion, it is impossible to run amok in this province where the water network is crisscrossed, and he is full of confidence in those water battalions that have set out from Longyou to carry out the task of assisting in defense according to the plan.

Soon, the news that the Ming army had failed to force the crossing and was forced to retreat to the shore came, and Chen Jin handed over the report that the Ming army was so angry that they had to use artillery to fire shells at Lingxi to vent their anger and circulate it to his staff. In addition to celebrating the crown, they all praised Chen Jin's clever calculations and use of soldiers like gods, and the sound of sycophancy was full of them. It seems that only Chen Jin himself is still a little uneasy in his heart, perhaps from his perennial experience in leading troops.

No, there's one more person!

"Li Tuiguan, but have you thought of anything?"

Seeing Chen Jin's words, Li Zhifang arched his hand and said: "Back to the army, Xia Guan has checked some records about the big Lan thief Chen Wen these days, and has also consulted Wang Shoubei. From the response to the encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain by the Eight Banners garrisoned in Hangzhou and the Raising Battalion, to the chaos in Taizhou. and the dispatch of troops to Jinhua Mansion, whose soldiers seem to be keen on using deception. This may have something to do with the fact that his forces were always at a disadvantage, but this attack on Quzhou was stationed on the east bank in a regular manner, trying to cross Lingxi by force in the face of the extreme disadvantage of water warfare, which seems to be some, some too much out of his style. ”

"Li Tuiguan is reasonable, this big blue thief Chen Wen's use of troops is indeed a little weird, so. What does Li Tuiguan think the big blue thief will do? ”

Li Zhifang has thought about this question many times in the past two days, and has also consulted some familiar generals. If it weren't for the calculations, he wouldn't have done it on purpose. "Xia Guan thinks that the big blue thief Chen Wen is still a trick today, and his strong attack is fake, and the smuggling is real, but when is this smuggling, or where is he choosing to smuggle in. But we don't know yet. ”

One time, one place, seeing that Li Zhifang had calculated the possibility of smuggling to this point, Chen Jin continued to think about this almost the same as his previous uneasiness while not stinging on his appreciation.

"Li Tuiguan is really a person who knows the soldiers, and the headquarters is not mistaken. Very good! ”

As soon as Chen Jin said this, everyone turned their attention to this young civil official who had been infinitely favored by Chen Jin recently, and they all showed jealous eyes. Even if his current official position is still in the occupied area of the Ming army, if the Qing army reoccupies Jinhua Mansion, with Chen Jin's attention, a prefect is estimated to be unable to escape.

Envy - Envy - Hate!

In the same way, when you have a place that is the envy of others, it will inevitably lead to jealousy, because those people only see your glory and do not see how much you have put in behind your back. Just like Li Zhifang, Chen Jin's approval at this moment seemed to the other staff members to be Li Zhifang's reaction a little quicker, and they believed that if they were given some more time, they would definitely be able to think of it, but these people completely ignored Li Zhifang's efforts to spend time checking records about Chen Wen and befriending the rebel general Wang Sheng, who had some intersections with Chen Wen.

Receiving Chen Jin's praise, even Li Zhifang, who has only been in the officialdom for a few years, is aware of the hostility of others, but at this moment he doesn't care much about these, his identity and roots are very different, and Li Zhifang, who is still a little young and vigorous at the moment, naturally doesn't bother to pay attention to the troubles of those "mediocre people".

It's just that before Li Zhifang, who was in his prime, continued to behave in front of his boss, Chen Jin's personal soldiers outside the big tent brought in a dusty sentry after the report, and after the man reported the military situation, those staff members with somewhat complicated expressions had not yet reacted, and Chen Jin immediately ordered the whole army to march to the upper reaches of the hilly area adjacent to Lingxi.

At this moment, the large camp where the Governor Battalion was stationed was only a few hours away from the smuggling point of the Nantang Battalion, if it was a rapid march.

………………

At the same time that Chen Jin mobilized the standard battalion, the Nantang battalion, which was responsible for carrying out the submarine mission, also set off from the assembly site of Shiliangting, and under the guidance of the sentry cavalry, marched at a very fast speed to the diving site near Turtle Mountain.

The reason why this place was chosen is actually very simple, the river here is narrower and conducive to the rapid diving of the Ming army, and the terrain not far from the west bank is raised to a high place, which is more conducive to concealment. As long as Lingxi was crossed, the Nantang battalion could quickly move north along Lingxi to assist the main force of the Ming army to cross the river. As for the Qing troops stationed in Longyou County, they are not at all in the eyes of Chen Wen and Li Ruixin, the generals of the Ming army.

Carrying a limited number of rafts, the Nantang battalion arrived at the diving site as scheduled in the afternoon, and after the avant-garde troops organized all the Ding Zhuang on the left as a private husband and requisitioned their rafts, the soldiers of the Ming army, who were still eating dry food, began to cross the stream.

Different from the forced crossing, the Ming army who absconded first transported a battalion of cavalry with men and horses, and their task was to quickly cover the Ming army's submerged operation after arriving on the west bank. When the first cavalry crossed Lingxi, the infantry of the Nantang battalion began to sneak in units of sentinels after confirming that there were no enemy troops around.

The infantry of the Nantang battalion had four innings, each with four outposts and each outpost with four infantry squads, and each infantry squad consisted of a hand-to-hand killer squad and a firearms squad. The establishment of the 44 system still looks the same as last year, but in fact it is not.

Compared with last year, the killer team of each infantry team is now composed of two old versions of the Mandarin Duck Array Killer Team and two Spear Array Killer Team, and even the firearms team is both bird gunners and archers, and even the firearms team, which has always been known as the strongest combat effectiveness of the armor sentry, has been replaced with a longer range and more powerful Lumi Gun. It's a pity that until the eve of the army, there were only so many qualified Lu Mi guns produced by the Ordnance Division, and there was no way to completely complete the redressing work.

According to the advice given by the General Staff, when sneaking along, in addition to the first batch of transport exploration horses, the infantry team should first be crossed to ensure that the Ming army can gain a firm foothold, and then the artillery artillery, engineers and battalion officers will be transported, and finally the infantry remaining on the east bank will be transported over again, so as to be in order.

As the commander of the Nantang battalion, Li Ruixin, who has been promoted to the rank of chief military officer, is well aware of the heavy burden on his shoulders. The main force of the Ming army led by Chen Wen was still attracting the attention of the Qing army for them, and the sooner the Nantang battalion in charge of sneaking crossed Lingxi, the more time they had to squeeze the Qing army's field troops out of this area, so as to take the first key point in the attack on Quzhou - Longyou County. And if it can maintain its suddenness, it is also possible to completely defeat the Qing army's field troops, in which case, it will also be of great benefit to attack the capital city of Quzhou.

The faster the speed of the sneaking, the stronger the suddenness, this simple truth can be easily understood even by a semi-literate military general like Li Ruixin. Watching his soldiers cross the Lingxi step by step under the leadership of the officer, even though his palms were full of sweat, he still held out a fearless posture to stabilize the equally anxious subordinates.

However, the speed of the Ming army's crossing of the river was much slower than he imagined, and even much slower. The number of rafts was very small, and only one infantry post could be transported at a time, and in fact this was still ideal, and in practice it was not possible to meet this standard at all. This, coupled with the order in which the river was crossed, and the fact that the necessary supplies such as artillery and horses were far more difficult to transport than the infantry with only weapons in their hands, undoubtedly affected the progress of the Ming army.

will be a military courage, even if he is anxious at the moment, Li Ruixin still learns from his idol back then, the famous fierce general of the late Ming Dynasty, Yasukuni Gong Huang Degong, who sat on the horse and watched the soldiers under his command cross the river, but changed the drinking to drinking water.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed that a long time had passed, and the two infantry bureaus, the first and second infantry, which were the second group of infiltrators, finally reached the opposite bank and began to deploy their posts to the beach, while the artillery and sappers of the third group began to cross the river more slowly.

However, the sappers who assisted in the defense had just crossed Lingxi, and the light tiger squat guns, which were convenient for transportation, were still struggling to row westward on the side close to the east bank. In the distance on the west bank, a fast horse galloped towards the river bank almost on all fours.

Arriving at the riverbank, the Tanma ignored the Ming army that was deploying on the riverbank, but waved the small flag in his hand to signal Li Ruixin, the commander of the Ming army's partial division on the opposite bank.

"The forward of the Inspector Battalion has reached the back of the mountain, and its main force is rapidly following up, and it will encounter our department in about three quarters of an hour!"
