Chapter 46: Victory

After dark, the Qing army camp outside Ji'an suddenly moved again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The torches in the camp were bright, crowded, and the neighing of war horses was constantly heard, as if the Qing army was going to take some action. The undisguised sound and firelight made the Ming soldiers on duty at the head of the city have to be vigilant, and Pang Yue, who got the news, also went to the head of the city with a group of generals.

"The Tartars seem to be attacking the city?" After seeing the situation in the distance, Wu Zhifan said with a puzzled face.

Zhang Guozuo was also a little puzzled: "A few days ago, the Tartars never attacked the city at night, could it be that Jin Shengheng's dog thief really jumped over the wall in a hurry?" ”

"Hahaha......" Seeing the busy scene in the Qing army camp, Pang Yue laughed instead, causing everyone around him to be confused.

Since receiving the news of Shi Lang's successful attack on Jishui County this afternoon, Pang Yue has already expected that Jin Shengheng will not be able to fight. After all, in this era, the destruction of the army's grain and grass is not a joke, once it drags on for a long time, it will cause the army's morale to be unstable and even to collapse. In the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao adopted Xu You's suggestion and attacked the Wuchao, where the Yuan army was hoarding grain and grass, which caused the morale of the Yuan army to collapse, thus defeating Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and becoming the final winner in the northern hegemony. As an old oilman who has been on the battlefield, Jin Shengheng will not fail to understand the stakes, and most of the people who want to retreat overnight see this situation.

Facing everyone's puzzled eyes, Pang Yue smiled and said, "Don't worry, most of the Jin Shengheng dog thieves are about to withdraw their troops!" ”

What the? Jin Shengheng wants to withdraw his troops? Hearing Pang Yue's words, Wu Zhifan, Zhang Guozuo and others were all shocked. In their opinion, even if Jin Shengheng can't take Ji'an for a while, he can only confront the Ming army at most, so he won't withdraw his troops so quickly. ”

"Mr. Pang, is this true? Although Jin Shengheng and Ke Yongsheng were defeated twice in a row, there were still 30,000 people in their second division, how could they retreat so easily? Wu Zhifan asked puzzled.

"So far, I won't hide it from you." Pang Yue said, "Last night, Ma Qi sent by Pang in advance attacked Jishui County, a major grain and grass area in Qingyu. All the grain, grass and baggage of the Qing captives were destroyed, and the Jin Shengheng dog thieves naturally did not dare to fight again! ”

At this time, Wu Zhifan suddenly realized, and then burst into a hearty laugh: "Mr. Pang is really like a god!" Now, Jin Shengheng's dog thief has suffered a lot! ”

Zhang Guozuo also patted the buttress in relief, and said with a smile: "It's really fucking happy, now I can finally get back the anger I suffered before!" General Pang, take this opportunity, why don't I lead the army out of the city to cover up for a while? ”

Take advantage of his illness and kill him! This is how it should be dealt with these traitor armies who have betrayed their ancestors! Pang Yue nodded: "Pang Mou has this intention, if Master Wan and Lord Liu have no objections, we will go out of the city to teach Jin Shengheng a good lesson!" ”

After a while, the Qing army had gradually finished lining up in the large camp outside the city, except for the people and horses who were monitoring the movement of Ji'an City, the rest had begun to leave the camp in batches and head north. Seeing this scene, all the people in the city were overjoyed.

After Wan Yuan Ji and Liu Guangyin came to the city, they learned that Jin Shengheng was close to food and grass and had no intention of fighting, and they were naturally very relieved to learn that the generals had the heart to fight. After thinking about it for a while, Wan Yuan Ji asked Wu Zhifan and Zhang Guozuo to obey Pang Yue's command for the time being.

Therefore, Pang Yue left the auxiliary soldiers of Ganzhou Town and the horseless cavalry and the auxiliary soldiers of Wu and Zhang to defend the city, and he led more than 12,000 people under Feihu, Gangfeng, and the three battalions of the trap and the soldiers under Wu and Zhang to pursue the Qing army. Pang Yue had already made up his mind, even if he couldn't inflict much damage on Jin Shengheng this time, at least let them understand that the city under the rule of the Ming Dynasty was not something they could come and leave as they wanted. …,

When the Qing army was busy retreating, the Ming army also slowly opened out of the north gate.

Seeing that the Ming army actually dared to go out of the city to chase after him, Jin Shengheng couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, but fortunately, his reason finally suppressed his anger, knowing that he couldn't act rashly at this time, once he got into a fight with the Ming army, he could only suffer from his own side.

However, the Ming army did not attack immediately, but only stood quietly outside the north gate. Seeing this situation, Jin Shenghengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and while sending additional manpower to monitor the movements of the Ming army, he ordered to step up the sorting out of the baggage and leave here as soon as possible.

Although the Ming army did not attack, the posture of watching the prey made the Qing army's hearts numb, and the ineffective hard fighting for several days had already made them physically and mentally exhausted and demoralized, especially the appearance of Ganzhou Town made them very nervous. Secretly, the Qing soldiers had already given the town of Ganzhou, which was equipped with a mask and helmet, a nickname - the Ghost Face Army, and I didn't know how this title would make Pang Yue, who participated in the design of the helmet, feel.

It's a pity that the Qing army didn't even have the desire to pack up and leave as soon as possible.

"Jishui County has been lost!!" "All the grain and grass have been destroyed!!" The sound of the mountains roaring and the tsunami was filled with irrepressible excitement.

This news stunned the Qing officers and soldiers who were still in the dark. Although they couldn't believe it at first glance, after calming down and thinking about it, they felt that most of this was probably true, otherwise, how could a good person suddenly withdraw his troops?

The shouting continued, and under the panic and worry, the movements of the Qing army became a lot more chaotic. At this time, Jin Shengheng was already itching with hatred, but due to the situation, he had no choice but to swallow his teeth and swallow the blood, and secretly kept this account in his heart.

After a long period of anxiety and struggle, the Qing army finally sorted out all the ordnance, tents and other things, and left the camp and headed north. Looking at the queue, I saw that the soldiers were in front, the auxiliaries followed closely with the sorted supplies, and another two or three thousand cavalry pressed the formation at the end, and the movements were a little nervous.

After the Qing army left the camp, the Ming army also began to follow slowly under Pang Yue's order. The 6,000 foot soldiers of Ganzhou Town were in front, the more than 4,000 foot soldiers of Wu Zhifan and Zhang Guozuo were behind, and the cavalry was located on the flank to cover, and the whole army always maintained a distance of more than 200 steps from the Qing army, neither accelerating nor lagging behind by half a point.

At this time, Wu Zhifan saw the neat and powerful steps of the foot soldiers in Ganzhou Town, and then looked at the slightly chaotic movements of the army under his command, and couldn't help but look at Pang Yue a little more while being embarrassed.

After walking for a few miles, the Qing army still did not feel the slightest relaxation, and the more than 10,000 Ming troops behind them were like a piece of kraft candy, which made them more and more flustered.

This situation annoyed Jin Shengheng, so he sent some cavalry to turn back and harass and obstruct the Ming army. However, the cavalry of the Qing army, which had long been completely unwilling to fight, did not dare to get too close at all, and only let go of arrows from a distance and never dared to step forward again. Due to the long distance, coupled with the timely erection of the shield by the Ming army, this array of arrows did not cause much damage to the Ming army at all, but the Qing cavalry who came to attack and harassed were killed by flintlock pistols.

After smashing several rounds of attacks, the Ming army still followed the Qing army without hurry. Seeing that the previous actions failed to create a movie star for the Ming army, Jin Shengheng no longer sent troops to do the useless work, but only ordered to speed up the march, in order to get rid of the ghostly group of Ming troops behind him as soon as possible.

After the Qing army accelerated, Pang Yue also ordered the whole army to speed up appropriately, but it still maintained the original distance and did not chase too quickly. Although the Qing army had already become a frightened bird at this time, after all, there were still 30,000 people, if Jin Shengheng was forced to lead the whole army to counterattack, it would still be enough for the Ming army to drink a pot. …,

Pang Yue was not in a hurry, he just looked coldly ahead, waiting for the best opportunity.

As time passed, the panic in the hearts of the Qing officers and soldiers also intensified, especially the last auxiliary soldiers who were holding supplies, many of whom had their legs trembling, lest the Ming army suddenly rush up and slash and kill.

Finally, here's your chance!

Ahead, the Qing army had already begun to enter a valley. As the area available for passage gradually narrowed, the speed of the Qing army slowed down. Although the Qing soldiers wanted to leave here as soon as possible, they had no choice but limited space, and the more anxious they were, the slower they went. As a result, under the dual effect of panic and anxiety, the long-suppressed emotions of the Qing soldiers broke out, and many people pushed forward and scolded their comrades in the front team regardless of military discipline, and even many officers joined in.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Pang Yue's mouth twitched into a smile, and he ordered the foot soldiers of Ganzhou Town to start arraying.

The Ming officers and soldiers of Wu Zhifan and Zhang Guozuo's department once again opened their eyes, only to see the well-trained soldiers of Ganzhou Town running to the predetermined position in an orderly manner at the sound of the officer's shouting orders, and quickly lined up into a wartime phalanx, with a row of sword and shield soldiers and several rows of firearms soldiers at the forefront.

Seeing the movement of the Ming army, the Qing army more than 200 steps away became more and more panicked, and carts carrying supplies continued to overturn, attracting endless curses and exclamations.

Pang Yue sneered and gave the order to attack.

With the sound of rumbling steps, the infantry phalanx of Ganzhou Town slowly moved forward under the cover of the shield wall. The cavalry on both flanks were also ready to charge at any moment.

At this time, the rear of the Qing army had fallen into complete chaos, with people roaring and neighing, and their steps were chaotic, almost indistinguishable from a rabble. The Qing cavalry who was responsible for the cover behind the palace was also in a panic, although they had already received Jin Shengheng's counterattack order, they couldn't get their team in order for half a day.

Gradually, the flintlock pistols and bird guns in the hands of the firearms soldiers in Ganzhou Town were able to get the panicked Qing soldiers in front. With the officer's order, the advancing phalanx quickly stopped, and the barrels of the black holes were aimed at the rear of the Qing army.

"Ready! - Put! ”

"Bang! Bang! …….”

After the sound of fried beans, the already chaotic rear team of the Qing army suddenly became even worse, with wanton blooming blood flowers and continuous screams, playing a unique farewell song.

……

Under the stars in the sky, the shouts of killing gradually subsided.

"My lord, we have won!" Lu Qiwu came to Pang Yue's side and said excitedly, "In a panic, more than 1,000 people were killed by our army, and hundreds of others were captured by our army. In addition, our army captured no less than five hundred war horses, and the rest of the ordnance was countless! ”

As soon as Lu Qiwu's words fell, Wu Zhifan and Zhang Guozuo also walked over with happy faces.

"Hahaha, Chief Soldier Pang! I've never fought so hard against the Tartars! What a fucking relief! Zhang Guozuo laughed.

Wu Zhifan was also so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut: "Relying on the wise command of General Pang, Jin Shengheng's dog thieves have fled north in a hurry, and Ji'an City is worry-free!" ”

Pang Yue smiled and was polite to them, but he didn't relax in his heart. At present, although Jin Shengheng and Ke Yongsheng have temporarily retreated, the situation is still not optimistic. If history still moves forward according to the trajectory of the principle, it will not be long before Belebolo, Gushan Ezhen Tulai, etc., who are ordered by Dolgon to march southward, will lead the Jiannu army to Nanjing, and together with a large number of newly attached green battalions, they will attack the Lu Jianguo regime in eastern Zhejiang, and after taking eastern Zhejiang, they will directly attack Fujian. At that time, the Longwu Dynasty will face the most severe test since the establishment of the dynasty.

The earth-shattering cheers pulled Pang Yue back to reality, and in the face of the excited and even fanatical faces, Pang Yue suddenly felt a lot more settled in his heart: with so many brave and simple soldiers as the backing, what reason did he have to lose confidence?

After thinking for a moment, Pang Yue jumped onto a clay platform and motioned for the soldiers to be quiet.

After the cheers gradually subsided, Pang Yue shouted loudly: "You are all good, you are all the best soldiers!" I, Pang Yue, feel that I can command you in battle! You've seen the results of this battle! You have also seen the results of several battles with Qinggou a few days ago! How is it? Just like I said! As long as you insist on training hard, as long as you believe that you can win, these Qing dogs and even the real Manchurian Jiannu in Japan will be a group of sheep, a group of sheep to be cut and killed! No matter where it is, whether it is a battle for the city or a field battle, you will be crushed into powder! As a hot-blooded man in Huaxia, I will never believe the invincible of Jiannu again!! Long live Daming!! ”

As soon as Pang Yue's words fell, the soldiers in the audience immediately burst out with shouts that broke through the sky:

"Long live Daming!!"

"Recover the rivers and mountains!!"
