[Various ......]

Asha's good mood lasted only three and a half hours, and just as he was enjoying dinner with a little joy, the emergency military situation sent from Xuzhou made him lose his appetite for a moment.

Chen Jiajun officially crossed Yingqiao Town in the afternoon of this day, that is, crossed the Yinghe River. The Lu battalion was only facing a tentative attack by the Chen family's thief soldiers before, but now that four or five thousand Chen family troops are killing with great momentum, they are really playing, and the Lu family battalion will naturally not work.

Only a dozen remnants of the soldiers fled back to Xuzhou City in disgrace, and as for the rest of the Lu camp, there was not a single one to be seen.

On the afternoon of the second day after Asiha received Qin Guangyuan's urgent report, hundreds of mules, horses, and cattle dragged dozens of cannons and truckloads of military supplies to the outside of Xuzhou, where the battlements were somewhat tattered, under the protection of thousands of Chen Jiajun.

After Qin Guangyuan saw the light emitted by the cannons and the iron armor of thousands of Chen family soldiers from the telescope, his face was so bitter and bitter, he had just entered Xuzhou City, and he had not even made any achievements in repairing the damaged city defense. Chen Jiajun, who knocked a stick on the Shaanxi Green Camp in the northwest, had already appeared in front of him. Qin Guangyuan was about to cry, how could he fight?

The hardest battle Qin Guangyuan has fought was when he was a general in Balikun, and he accompanied the army to pacify the rebellion of Daxiao and Zhuo. The Qing army fought very well in that battle. Even when you are outnumbered, you can always fight to break the enemy.

But is Hebei Town the elite of the green battalion in the northwest, and everyone dares to fight? Is the Kaifeng City Garrison a firearms battalion in Beijing, not only everyone wears armor, but also the most well-made guns in the Qing Dynasty? Is Asiha's Fubiao comparable to the Xishan Jianrui Battalion? It was the elite that the emperor selected from the entire Eight Banners. Regardless of whether those soldiers were willing to work hard or not, they were selected into the Jianrui Battalion and became the inheritors of the 'old Manchurian art' in the mouth of Emperor Qianlong.

For example, in the battle between Big and Small, the performance of the Jianrui Battalion was very outstanding. Regardless of whether they can really fight or not, they have been publicized by the Qing court for so many years, and in the hearts of ordinary officials and generals, the Xishan Jianrui Battalion has also become the elite of the Eight Banners in Beijing.

It was hard for Qin Guangyuan to imagine how much hope he could have of winning with a force with a complex origin and a small advantage in numbers fighting with the team outside the city, which was more than one step stronger than the one in terms of armament. This one was so different back then.

Bali Bridge, the bilateral soldiers and horses moved here very tacitly. Bali Bridge, the Bali Bridge in Xuzhou, not the Bali Bridge outside Beijing, was renamed Baling Bridge in later generations, and a Guandi Temple was erected next to it, because it is said that this is the place where Guan Gong picks up robes.

The bridge is higher than the water surface and is a three-hole bluestone bridge. The river is fourteen or fifteen zhang wide, and the river surface is not very wide, and now it is blocked in front of Chen Jiajun.

After Chen Jiajun arrived on the other side of the Bali Bridge, he was building a position - an artillery position.

Chen Ming's calculation was very clear, he wanted to use superior artillery fire to blast the Qing soldiers on the opposite side, and then he could take the opposite position with a single charge. A tall watchtower was erected in the position of the Chen family's army, and Chen Ming stood on it holding a telescope and roughly estimated the number of Qing soldiers on the opposite side, which should be less than 2,000 people. And their cannons, if not hidden, then there were only 15 of them.

Don't ask Chen Ming why he knows so accurately, who made the construction of the Qing artillery position so obvious?

The cavalry battalion scattered their horses and ran away, closely monitoring the left and right of the Qingni River. He is not afraid that the Qing soldiers on the opposite side will cross the river to engage in a sneak attack, as long as he gives the Chen Jiajun a little time, the armored soldiers of the Chen Jiajun can teach the green battalion soldiers how to do their children and grandchildren in hand-to-hand combat. In the face of real strength, it cannot be said that it is useless to engage in trickery, but the prerequisite is that the generals on the side with superior combat power are not clear.

Chen Ming is now very sober-minded, and he knows very well that his lack of military talent requires his subordinate troops to fight as stupid and stupid as possible. It's like Zeng shaved his head in the original time and space to ask his troops to 'harden the village and fight in a stupid battle'. Chen Ming also educated his subordinates in this way.

As long as there is a war, the scouts should always be out and the camp should be as stable as possible. The troops on duty must be vigilant of the first class, and anyone who dares to be lazy and slippery while on duty at night will be dealt with by military law. That's a sin that could easily be enough to kill the head.

Set up open and dark sentry outside the camp, have a ditch, and set up antlers to resist horses as much as possible. At the same time, the troops on duty at night had to fire lights to the perimeter from time to time, which were actually large fireworks. As for how to make the sound of the big fireworks burst at night as low as possible, that is the job of the fireworks masters.

After Xinzheng's Asiha received Qin Guangyuan's urgent report, he was really anxious and didn't sleep all night. In the afternoon, the thieves of the Chen family arrived at the west of Bali Bridge, and if Chen Ming attacked Xuzhou City in the evening, Asiha did not doubt it at all. The Chen bandit soldiers first defeated the Shaanxi Green Battalion, and then relied on the Beiru River to rush to Xiangxian County with all the artillery fire at a speed far exceeding the land march, and then crossed Yingqiao Town to kill Xuzhou. This makes it clear that it is necessary to defeat the Henan Green Camp first.

Asiha can now understand a big problem of the encirclement and suppression of the four provinces of Emperor Qianlong: the long live master of Shengming must have facilitated the death of the waterways of the Ruzhou generation.

The encirclement and suppression of the four provinces seems to be huge and has a large number of troops, but it is actually a real army fighting alone on multiple roads. Luoyang is in danger along the way, and there is no support from the Henan Green Camp on the road in Xuzhou; When the Henan Green Battalion was in trouble, the only thing that could be counted on was the Anhui Green Battalion of Chenzhou Prefecture, which also belonged to the eastern sequence, and the Runing 1st Road and the Nanyang Mansion counteroffensive troops in the south were already divided into two separate forces by the mountains. On the contrary, the Chen family's army, which tends to be weaker in strength, although their numbers are small, they can defend first, and then the main force can quickly attack every road in the north, east and even south by taking advantage of the convenient river in the territory.

The Ru River, the Sha River, the Cai River, and even a series of rivers originating in the northern mountains of the Nanyang Basin have brought too much convenience to the rotation of the Chen family's thieves.

Asiha thought of the convenient water transportation of the Ruzhou generation, but it was useless, he couldn't even say a word to his superiors, he could only quickly send someone to report the news to the Anhui Green Battalion of Chenzhou Mansion, and inform Chen Huizu, the Anhui envoy who led this army. But whether Chen Huizu will immediately lead the Anhui Green Battalion north to rescue Xuzhou after receiving the news, or take the opportunity to attack Yuncheng, this is not something that Asiha can predict. People also have a backstage, the second generation of officials.

Just when Asiha was worried and couldn't sleep, the battlefield of Bali Bridge in Xuzhou sounded with shouts of killing.

The hundreds of Qing soldiers of the death squad recruited by Qin Guangyuan with a heavy reward quietly crossed the Qingni River on the water, and then broke through to the position of the Chen Jiajun from the flank, in an attempt to destroy the artillery team of the Chen Jiajun in one fell swoop.

Of course, their whereabouts can't hide from Chen Jiajun's open and dark sentinels. After going around in a big circle, the death squad that quietly touched the periphery of the Chen Jiajun's position had just penetrated less than 200 meters into the Chen Jiajun's flank defense circle, and was exposed by a secret sentinel hiding in a hole in the ground from the side.

Qin Guangyuan, who was on the other side of the Bali Bridge, closed his eyes in regret.
