Of the more than 20 new and old battalion officers in the expeditionary force, half of them are from the three families of Chen Gao and Huang, and the children of the Chen family account for 60 percent of this half, and they still firmly hold the hegemonic position among the senior officer class. But how long can this hegemony last?

With the growing of the General's Mansion, more and more people with foreign surnames appeared in the upper echelons of the army. The expansion of any force is inevitable at the moment.

For Chen Ming himself, he is also happy to see such a scene. When the army was first raised, the scene full of soldiers of the Chen family was gone as soon as possible!

November 16, south of Gangneung City.

Seven or eight thousand Fu Han troops blocked the Hunan Green Camp West Route Army, which had just crossed the river from the west and came east along the Fuzhang River. Chen Ming didn't seem to know that his soldiers and horses were at an absolute disadvantage, and the crimson uniforms of the seven or eight thousand Fu Han troops made the entire array like a cloud of fire.

A 'sandwich' appeared on this battlefield, in front of the Fu Han army was the Hunan Green Camp West Route Army wearing a blue military uniform and a cotton hat, and behind the Fu Han army was the blue, black, blue and black Jiangling City.

"Hmph. It's really crazy, with his back to Gangneung City to fight with us. The traitor is looking for death......"

Zhang Rui was exactly what Chen Ming expected, and he had no fear of the Fu Han army. Seeing Chen Ming pulling a team of seven or eight thousand to fight against Jiangling, he was stunned, and then laughed and annoyed.

In Zhang Rui's view, the town soldiers will not be afraid of a small group of rebel bandits at all, even if these rebel bandits are very well armed, even if they have repeatedly defeated the officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress them, but can the instigated soldiers in Henan, Shaanxi, and Hubei be compared with the first town soldiers in the world? It is the rebels who should be afraid of the rebels, not the rebels to guard against the rebels.

Zhang Rui was ashamed to think about even a word in his heart.

Chen Ming now put his team in the position where his troops were caught between the Jiangling defenders, which was Chi Guoguo's contempt for himself.

The reputation of the strong soldiers of the town is like a super charismatic assimilation instrument, and Zhang Rui, who was born in Hebei, is as proud as the soldiers of the town. You Chen Ming can look down on those wastes in Jiangling City, but you can't look down on me. Not only should you not look down on me, but you dare to be afraid of me, afraid of me.

This is the arrogance of the town soldiers for one or two hundred years. Hard, brutal, willing to die, brave and good at fighting, fierce and strong!

They were like a tiger, and now they were unceremoniously flicked by Chen Ming, and a feeling of dignity being trampled on and ridiculed rose in the hearts of each of them, and their anger soared.

At the head of Jiangling City, Xue Shiyan, Daotai, and the prefect were all nervously looking outside the city. Yesterday, Xue Shiyan had already sent people to contact the Zhenxiao soldiers, and after dawn today, he sent many people to contact Zhang Rui.

There is only one purpose, let Zhang Rui not underestimate the Fu Han army, don't fight with them outside the city, Chen Rui's soldiers and horses are very strong, and their armor is not for show.

But now it sees, his efforts have been in vain.

If there is a fight outside the city, the defenders will definitely do their best to attack the back of the Han army, which is the most basic common sense. The Shuijin Gate, which is farther away, gathered all the horse armor soldiers in Gangneung City and even the soldiers who dared to fight on horseback, gathered a horse team of nearly 1,000 people, and was also making preparations before the battle. They are closer to the battlefield than Nankimon. Because Sujin Gate is in the southwest corner of Gangneung Fortress.

Zhang Rui did not have a cannon in his hand, and the time was very urgent when the Hunan Green Battalion came, and the roads in many places in western and southern Hunan were rugged, and none of the 20,000 green battalions that went north carried cannons.

But Zhang Rui didn't care about this, the soldiers fought more by the knives and guns in their hands, rather than muskets and cannons. Among the sixty-six green camp military towns in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the cold weapon equipment of Zhengan Town can be said to be the highest. Even their shotgunners are familiar with their waist knives one by one.

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

The cannon let out a final roar, and one after another shotguns turned into a web of death in mid-air, turning the people who braved the artillery fire to fight the Hunan Green Battalion in front of the Han army. However, the charge of the Hunan Green Battalion was still not over, and the harvest of the shotgun made Zhang Ruidu in the rear feel a lot of pain, but the Hunan Hunan soldiers in front of the battle did not see it that way.

They are overwhelmed with blood and hatred!

Especially in the charge of the main force of the town soldiers, known for sacrificing their lives to dare to fight, they despise the muskets and cannons put forward by the Fu Han army, compared with the bird guns and cannons, they believe in the swords and guns in their hands, but the cannons of the Fu Han army brought them unexpectedly huge casualties, so that every living Zhen Xiao soldier hated it in his heart. Each of them burned with the flame of revenge, and they imagined themselves rushing to the front of the Han army, using the swords and guns in their hands to avenge their dead brothers.

The boiling fireworks of revenge made these soldiers, who thought they were the best in the world, burst out with their strong blood bravery.

"Kill, kill......"

"Rush, rush up......"

"Avenge the dead brother, rush, rush, ......"

Loud shouts of killing continued to resound on the battlefield. Chen Ming was really impressed by these Hunan soldiers, after suffering such huge casualties, there was still blood and courage to continue to charge, such an army was indeed rare in the era of pure cold weapons.

However, in ......, the Fu Han army not only had cannons to shoot shotguns, but also platoon guns and tiger squat cannons at close range, as well as grenades.

"Bang ......"

Platoon shots killed, uniformly volleyed; Tiger squatting cannons, broken iron and nails all over the sky, is a complete disaster for the unarmored green battalion soldiers; There are also grenades, and a special grenadier has been organized in the right battalion of Chen Ming's personal guard, and each soldier who can be selected can throw the grenade into a three-foot square basket from a distance of ten feet. And the minimum standard for the longest 'range' is fifteen zhang. You must know that the grenades produced by the General's Mansion are much heavier than the wooden-handled grenades of World War II.

"Kill......"

When the armored barracks of the Fu Han Army, clad in iron armor and holding spears, collided with the Hunan Green Battalion Assault Troops, the red torrent crushed the cyan patches in front of them into powder without hindrance. Chen Ming used four battalions of troops to follow the Qing army's defeated soldiers behind the ass to counterattack its large array, if the defenders in Jiangling City behind him still did not move, today's battle is that even the gods will not be able to save the Hunan Green Battalion.

At the head of Nanji Gate, several Qing Dynasty officials wearing civilian uniforms hung their heads and scolded, all of them reprimanding Zhang Rui.

Tens of thousands of Hunan Green Camps, the life-saving 'elixir' of Jiangling City, was so scourged by Zhang Rui, how much effect is left?

Xue Shiyan is no longer in the city, he has already stood under the city, and the thousands of green battalions and banner soldiers waiting in the urn city are holding the swords and guns in their hands one by one, waiting for the hole in the city gate to open.

There is also a horse team led by Abukai, the leader of the Eight Banners of Jingzhou Garrison, and the Shuijin Gate will be opened earlier than the Nanji Gate.

"Report to the Metropolitan Governor, there is an eight-banner horse team in the Shuijin Gate."

In the formation of the Fu Han army, Chen Ming heard an urgent report from the scouts. Horse team, Mizutsumon, this is not unexpected. Eight Flags Horse Team, Chen Ming is also mentally prepared. It's just that he is still very curious about whether this Eight Banners Horse Team will be like what he saw in TV and movies in his previous life......
