"Since the victory of Pengpo Town, Linru Town has been able to recover. Because the thieves in the mountains on the left and right are still blazing, they have repeatedly attacked the grain roads and materials, and the brother has selected the elite to attack and suppress, and the hills on both sides of the Yi River have been leveled. The thief used his spare time to arrange Linru strictly, and when the elite of the Shaanxi soldiers returned to the army, Linru was already indestructible, and it was difficult to rush down......"

Wu Dashan never kept his mouth shut when he talked to others about the war in Henan, and finally relied on the strength of the crowd to take down Peng Po Town, and also let Yang Ping and Feng Shaohua retreat to Linru Town with the remaining soldiers safely. He is now writing a letter to his brother in Beijing. A family letter is no better than writing a recital for the emperor, and it can be written straightforwardly. But Wu Dashan wrote to the last two sentences, the more you taste, the more it is not a taste, which is too unlucky. Frustrated, he crossed out the last two sentences, and then put down his pen, and had no interest in writing again.

Lying on the cotton chair, Wu Dashan subconsciously moved his buttocks, he had hemorrhoids, which was a stubborn disease. In the past, he was respected and well-respected in Xi'an City, but it was not too much of an obstacle, but now he feels that it is too much of a hindrance when he goes to the front line. This stubborn disease that has tormented him for more than ten years has not given Wu Dashan pain now, and it is not the time yet, so Wu Dashan leaned on the cotton chair and remembered what happened when Peng Po Town was breached.

……

The south wind swept into the window with a drizzle. Chen Ming sent off the eastward troops at night, and it began to rain at dawn. He looked out the window at the white expanse, and even the towering Jiujiang city wall not far away seemed to be nothing, and there was almost no shadow.

The sound of sporadic gunfire came intermittently. It shows that the soldiers of the Fu Han Army stationed at the east gate of Jiujiang have started a contact battle with the Qing army. The war has been carried out, the final moment of the victory of the Fu Han army is gradually approaching, and the general trend of the Qing army has gone, and it can no longer stop the footsteps of the Fu Han army to occupy the whole city.

The superiority of the river was undoubtedly firmly controlled by the Fu Han army. With the failure of the Qing army's naval division yesterday morning's counterattack, not a single enemy ship could be seen in Jiujiang. In this place, Chen Ming collected many shipbuilders, and the number was much more than Wuchang's income. In addition, a lot of wood for shipbuilding was seized, such as fir wood, pine wood, cypress wood, teak wood, and elm wood, all of which were dried in the shade. It can be said that with this wood, if time could give him a year's work, he could now build the ship he wanted.

However, time will not stop, and the Fu Han army, which has a large number of shipwrights and carpenters in their hands, does not dare to build ships in a big way, and this batch of wood is more likely to be burned by Chen Ming when he has no choice but to do so. If the tide of battle goes unfavorably.

Kuiyi and Shu Shan had already withdrawn from Jiujiang Mansion City and avoided Ruichang, but at this time, Ding Yong, who was recruited by thousands of Jiangxi officials in southern Jiangnan, also galloped under the stars and rushed to Nankang Mansion Xingzi. Because the news of the Fu Han army's attack on the shore of Poyang Lake reached this team, this team did not go straight to Jiujiang through De'an, but went to Nankang Shouxingzi County on the shore of Poyang Lake on the east side of Lushan Mountain. Not far north from Xingzi County is Gutang.

Jiangxi envoy Wu Hubing rushed to Nankang with the army. As soon as he entered Xingzi County, Wu Hubing heard the rumors that Jiujiang City was broken, and the whole person was not good, and his whole body was full of bitterness from the inside to the outside. His luck was just too bad.

This matter hung him directly on the fire: Jiujiang, do you save it or not?

If he is saved, he will go north at once with thousands of people; If you don't save it, you will be stabbed to Beijing in the future, and that is a sin.

The main reason is that there is no score for this matter, and no one can say whether Jiujiang City is really broken. And what about the remnants.

What's next? Is it straight up to Jiujiang? Or do you want to keep Nankang first? For a while, Wu Hubing had no choice but to make up his mind.

According to the investigation, all the troops of the Fu Han army poured to Jiujiang City, and Gutang and other places that were captured by it before had been abandoned, and it did not seem difficult for Wu Hubing to go to Jiujiang on behalf of the troops. This made it even more difficult for Wu Hubing to make up his mind. Chen Ming is not a "milky child"? The Qing army suffered so many big losses at his hands, Wu Hubing couldn't help but think about it.

Going straight to Jiujiang seemed logical, but it made him afraid. Wu Hubing was in a dilemma for a while.

"My lord, my lord, I want to see you outside the door of Dehua Zhixian." In a compound in the north of Xingzi City, Wu Hubing's chief walked quickly to Wu Hubing and whispered.

"Dehua Zhixian?" Wu Hubing is like a long drought and a rainstorm, and the whole person is overjoyed. No matter how this Dehua Zhixian came to Xingzi County, the burden on his shoulders can be thrown off anyway.

Outside the gate, the gray-faced Xie Hu was looking eagerly at the door. He almost wanted to see Wu Hubing directly in the next moment, and then in the next moment, the thousands of Gannan people outside the city would be able to drive north.

After Jinjipo was successfully attacked by the Fu Han army, the Qing army quickly launched a counterattack, and the Qing soldiers in the two wooden cities on Meijiazhou almost poured out, and the result was naturally a failure. Not only failed, but also failed badly.

Zheng Wenzhi, the general of the Jiujiang Association, was seriously wounded, and Zheng Wenzhi's personal soldiers fled south with Zheng Wenzhi and Xie Hu, and continued to go south when they arrived at Gutang, until they reached the junction of Jiujiang and Nankang Mansion. Xie Hu has been gathering the defeated troops as much as possible, and early this morning he heard the news that Gannan Minyong had rushed to Xingzi, so he quickly ran to Nankang.

Wu Hubing saw Xie Hu, Xie Hu made his intentions clear, and swore that Jiujiang City would never be lost. Wu Hubing smiled heartily: "Thousands of people from Ganzhou and Ji'an have come here with me for Wu to dispatch and drive, not only to serve the country, but also to quell the rebellion in Jiangxi, and dare not do their best." ”

"It's just that the battle of Jiujiang is not the work of Jiujiang and one government. The official was to stay in Nankang for two days and discuss some matters with the prefect Hu. This task of the people bravely going north, this official will be handed over to you, are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility? ”

On the surface, Wu Hubing, who was dignified, said that Xie Hu's hot heart was cool, wow, cool. However, some people are different from ordinary people, Wu Hubing's clear throw, Xie Hu gritted his teeth and took it in a daze. After only a moment of hesitation, Xuan solemnly said: "The country has been raising soldiers for one hundred and twenty years, and it should be used in times of hardship. There are many difficulties and dangers in this journey, and Xie Hu does not dare to quit although he is dead. With that, he stretched out his hand to Wu Hubing to ask for a piece of paper, and then turned around and left.

Hearing the word "death", especially Xie Hu's serious and solemn demeanor, Wu Hubing felt a little ashamed. The villain will always be like this in front of the positive character, when facing the 'righteousness'. But compared to this shame, Wu Hubing is more concerned about his old life and official hat.

There were four or five thousand people who followed Wu Hubing from southern Gan, and when Xie Hu rushed outside Jiujiang City two days later, there were only about 2,000 people left. Xie Hu, who served the imperial court with fists, was just a small magistrate, how could he restrain the four or five thousand militia groups? And I don't know anything about military affairs, what kind of thing can I do with just a few words from a book? If it weren't for the entourage of the defeated soldiers of the Jiujiang Association to take care of them before and after, it would not be impossible for the people from southern Gan to run a fine run.

These mountain people recruited in southern Gan are very fierce, but they are not deaf ears either. The city of Jiujiangfu has fallen, and the remaining remnants of the army are desperately resisting by the mountains outside the city in order not to be cleaned up by the Fu Han army. Many of the militia leaders summoned their own people to mutter, didn't say hello, and left with the team. If it weren't for the defeated soldiers and officers of the Jiujiang Association who held the bottom for Xie Hu, there would still be more than 2,000 people left.

"Brother Baoguang, you can't go in again. We can only go so far. Wait here, wait for the defeated soldiers on the hill outside the city to rush out on their own. Zheng Wenzhi, who was hanging an arm, said to Xie Hu. He admired Xie Hu's hard loyalty, but he couldn't accompany Xie Hu to die.

Anyway, the political envoy of Jiangxi, the general soldier of Jiujiang Town, and the prefect of Jiujiang have all fled, and the imperial court will not take the life of a general first. The chief soldiers of his family fled to Ruichang, and Zheng Wenzhi was still outside Jiujiang City.

In Fucheng, Chen Ming also received a report from the reconnaissance brigade that a Qing army reinforcements were approaching, which was really bold.

Now this reinforcement with Lian Yong as the main force stopped more than ten miles southwest of the city. This distance has no specific threat to Jiujiang City, but it has a certain threat to the Fu Han army troops outside Jiujiang City, and it has a strong attraction for the defeated Qing army who are forced to run up the mountain.

Huang Jie directly asked Chen Ming for his life. Two or three thousand Qing troops actually appeared outside Jiujiang City at this time, and the people who led the troops were so bold. In the eyes of Huang Jie and other officers of the Fu Han Army, this is even more of a provocation to the Fu Han Army.

Chen Ming didn't have the heart to pay attention to this little fight at this time, since Huang Jie asked for two battalions, then give him two battalions, wave his hand, and go fight. Chen Ming continued to wait intently for An Qing's report.

In two days, Xie Hu took the Gannan militia to trek the road for two days, and Gao Pingshan led the army eastward for two days. Whether Anqing City is defeated or not, the battle report should also arrive.

Liu Wu carefully changed a cup of hot tea for Chen Ming, he naturally knew what Chen Ming was waiting for. also knows how much Anqing's gains and losses will affect Chen Ming's next plan. He carefully took the cold tea, and carefully put the hot tea in Chen Ming's hand, not daring to make a superfluous sound.

Don't look at the fact that Jiujiang City is very lively at this time, and even the prefect's yamen is also very lively, but in the house where Chen Ming is located, it is very quiet and silent.

Chen Ming sat on a chair like a wooden man, closed his eyes and waited for the flying pigeon to pass on the book. At this time, the magic weapon that activated Chen Ming was not the sound of speaking, nor the battle report from outside, but a 'coo'.

Liu Wu exited the room with the cold tea, and under the corridor outside the door, Chen Dawei took a group of guards to protect the surroundings, and when he saw Liu Wu coming out of the room, he glanced at Liu Wu. And Liu Wu replied to him with a very posterior action - shrugging his shoulders.

Therefore, if there is something good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom. The people around Chen Ming have become more and more different from their parents in some words and deeds. And in the entire Fu Han Army, there are more imitators Liu Wu and Chen Dawei. (To be continued.) )
