After receiving the military report, Pang Yue quickly browsed it, and the big stone in his heart finally landed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the afternoon of October 30, the Fubo battalion pursued the Song Heihu water pirates to the waters near Montenegro Island. The two sides are back in a standoff. In the evening, Xu Sanbao, the No. 3 leader of Black Mountain Island, suddenly attacked and led his cronies to attack and kill Song Heihu and Shui Fei. Except for Song Heihu and the hardcore cronies who flew on the water desperately and stubbornly resisted, most of them were exterminated, and the rest of the water thieves all put down their weapons, and almost no one escaped the net. The Fubo battalion won a complete victory, and the bandits on Montenegro Island were put to rest.

It turns out that these three leopards have always been good at gambling and lustful, and whenever they are free, they always have to disguise themselves and go ashore to be happy for a while. A few months ago, he took advantage of his leisure to go to Longyang County to gamble according to his usual practice. Unexpectedly, this time something went wrong, and not long after he went ashore, he was targeted and arrested by the hidden agents of the Intelligence Department of Huguang Town, and then he was rebelled under the temptation of severe torture and profit. Adhering to the principle of casting a long line to catch big fish, Ma Yuancheng instructed the personnel of the intelligence department of Longyang County to put it back for later use. Before the Fubo battalion sent troops this time, the secret agents of the Intelligence Department secretly contacted Xu Sanbao again, bringing a generous bounty and Pang Yue's promise: as long as he corrects it at the right time, after the matter is completed, he can obtain the rank of guerrilla general in Huguang Town and still command the original subordinates, in addition, Song Heihu and Shui Fei's subordinates can also be assigned to his control.

In the face of such conditions, Xu Sanbao, who had been suppressed by Song Heihu and Shui Fei, naturally would not refuse, and took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention and succeeded in one blow.

Afterwards. He Guoyuan fulfilled his promise for Pang Yue and gave Xu Sanbaohu the guerrilla general of Guangzhen, the official seal and a reward of 1,000 taels of silver. Except for Song Heihu and Shui Fei, who were attacked and killed, the rest of the captured middle-level and above leaders and their cronies were all beheaded by He Guoyuan. The remaining small bosses and minions were all transferred to the jurisdiction of Xu Sanpanther.

The third millennium old man in the past has become the leading boss today, and then the new official takes office, Xu Sanbao can be described as proud, respectful, flattering and diligent in front of He Guoyuan, and Pang Yue is even more grateful and loyal.

Originally, this was the end of the matter, and it was a happy ending. But Xu Sanbao, who was the new official and had three fires, couldn't suppress his desire to express himself, and provided He Guoyuan with another important piece of information: at the end of each month. The Yuezhou Naval Division of the Qing Army cruised to the vicinity of Junshan Island and stopped for a few days to rest. At the beginning, because Song Heihu and Ma Jiaolin had always had a semi-cooperative relationship. He had also been to Junshan Island twice with the same road, and found that the defense there was quite lax. Therefore, it was suggested to He Guoyuan that it was better to take this opportunity to attack Junshan Island and catch the Yuezhou Navy Master off guard.

He Guoyuan discussed with the subordinates in the middle of the camp. I thought I could give it a try. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to return home, ordered the officers and men in the battalion to rest for a while, and continued to rush to Junshan Island, a hundred miles northeast of Montenegro Island, in the early morning of the next day.

For Xu Sanbao, He Guoyuan naturally did not trust him safely, so he first asked the old water pirate department to go to Junshan Island in the name of asking for help, and he led the fleet of the Fubo battalion to follow.

When they arrived at the waters near Dejunshan Island, the main force of the Yuezhou Naval Division of the 2,000 Qing Army really stopped here. Xu Sanbao's old trick was repeated, and he first approached Junshan Island in the name of asking for help.

Attack on Black Mountain Island by the Ming Army's naval division. The commander of the Yuezhou Water Division of the Qing Army has already received the news, but he does not know the details yet. At that moment, I saw Xu Sanbao leading a group of defeated soldiers to ask for help, and I was skeptical. Later, although he saw through it, Xu Sanbao, who was behind him, also put on a desperate posture and launched an attack. The two sides fought for a few days, and the Fubo battalion suddenly arrived, and the Yuezhou Navy Division of the Qing Army was caught off guard by the inside and outside, supported for a while, and fled back to Yuezhou in defeat.

The city of Yuezhou was still under the control of the Qing army, and He Guoyuan did not dare to hold it up, so he did not pursue it, and ordered to return. After counting the results of the battle, the surprise attack sank and captured more than 20 large and small warships of the Yuezhou Navy Division of the Qing Army, and destroyed more than 500 enemies. Except for Xu Sanbao's headquarters, the Fubo battalion itself only lost a few small and medium-sized transshipment ships, and the casualties were only more than 100, which can be described as another complete victory.

When the news spread, outside Longyang County, the whole army was jubilant.

"The sailor who has been established for less than half a year can win twice in two days, and he really deserves to be a tiger under the command of Dingwu Hou, and it really deserves its name!" In the Chinese military tent, Gao Yigong smiled and said to Pang Yue.

Li Guo was also overjoyed: "In this battle, the Tartar Yuezhou Naval Division suffered heavy losses, and our army has more chances of winning the city." ”

"Master Hou, this is bad, the Yuezhou Tartars are only a few thousand remnants of the defeated generals, and they are only one percent of our army. Our army took that broken city, which was a certainty, but where did it just have more chances of winning? Dang Shousu, who is known as "Dang Mazi", also opened his voice and laughed.

Pang Yue smiled and looked at everyone: "This time, our army was able to level the Dongting Water Kou, and severely damaged the Tartar Yuezhou Water Division, which can be described as a victory." Since then, our army's food supply has no worries, and the enemy in Yuezhou is no longer to worry. If you take this city again, it will be a smooth road to Hubei. I propose that tomorrow when the Fubo battalion and the team that went to collect ships return from my town, I will immediately leave the camp and set off for Yuezhou, what do you think, the Marquis of Xingguo and the generals? ”

"That's right! Now that the bandits in Dongting have been subsided, and the war situation in Hubei may change at any time, our army should indeed not make too many pauses! Li Guo replied.

Pang Yue nodded: "Okay!" Then, according to the previous plan, the land division of our town and the soldiers of the loyal battalion crossed the lake by boat, and the Fubo battalion of our town's water army took the front to cover and wait for the opportunity to meet the rest of the Yuezhou naval division of the Qing Dynasty. After that, the army disembarked on the east shore of Dongting Lake, south of Yuezhou City, and 60,000 horses marched together, striving to take the city in one go! Although the capture of Yuezhou is no longer a cause for concern, before the time of complete victory, our army still has to go all out. ”

Speaking of this, Pang Yue deliberately turned his gaze to the generals under his command, and said with a smile: "Before setting out on the expedition, most of you were eager to try, and it seemed that you all had the power to sweep away a thousand jun. But how it is will take a try to find out. The attack on Yuezhou was the first time that our town had fought with the enemy since the southern expedition to Guangzhou, and the scale was not necessarily significant, but the significance was not small. Who of you would like to be the main force of the siege and win the crown of our land division in the first battle of this northern expedition? ”

As soon as the words fell, the clanging sound of the collision of the nail leaves immediately resounded in the tent, and I saw that all the generals in Huguang Town, such as Shi Youliang, Lu Qiwu, Cui Shoucheng and others, all got up and shouted for battle.

"Return to the handsome, the last general is willing to go!"

"The last will go!"

......

At this time, Li Guo quietly gave Yuan Zongdi a look on the side.

Yuan Zongdi comprehended, got up and said: "Generals, don't fight, Dingwu Hou, this time to attack Yuezhou, let Yuan be the main force." ”

"The Yuezhou Tartars have become frightened birds, and they use cattle knives to kill chickens? General Yuan is a good general in the world, why do you need to go out in person? This battle can be handed over to my Huguang Town. ”

"Dingwu Hou, don't get me wrong, it's not that Yuan intends to fight for merit. At the beginning, Yuan blocked Futai's order to attack Xiangyin, and one of the defenders in the city was the Tartar Ma Jiaolin Department. After that battle, Yuan and his generals were well aware of Ma Jiaolin's tactics and their defects, and if they took the main force, they would be able to reduce the losses of the whole army and take Yuezhou as soon as possible. ”

"If that's the case, then it's hard for General Yuan." Seeing Yuan Zongdi's resolute tone, Pang Yue no longer stubbornly held his own opinions, and said with a smile, "In addition, I will transfer two more battalions to respond from the side, I wonder if General Yuan can object?" ”

"Is there any objection? So much better! ”

"Well, that's it!"

......

The next morning, the Fubo battalion returned to the west shore of Tinghu Lake, and several teams that had gone to collect boats also rushed back one after another. After counting, the lack of ships was insufficient.

Without further ado, Pang Yue did not delay any longer, and immediately ordered the camp to be pulled, and the whole army took a boat and marched towards Yuezhou through Dongting Lake.

......

In the early morning of the sixth day of November, Huguang Town and the Zhongzhen Battalion landed on the east bank of Dongting Lake and south of Yuezhou City.

Along the way, he was not stopped by the Qing army. When the 60,000-strong army landed in a mighty way, several Qing army sentinels saw the appearance of the army on the opposite side from a distance, and they couldn't see a few times, and they fled away in fright without waiting for the Ming cavalry to drive away.

Seeing that the enemy was timid, the morale of the officers and men of Huguang Town and the Loyal Battalion was even higher. For a long time, the arrogance of the Qing army has always been arrogant, whether it is the Eight Banners or the Green Battalion, in the face of the Ming army, they often dare to fight more with less, drive the crowd with outnumbered, and even take pleasure in it. Now there are times when there is such a panic, which is really happy.

"Take Yuezhou City and capture Ma Jiaolin alive!" In the loyal battalion, I don't know who first shouted this slogan. Subsequently, the group gradually responded, and the shouts shook the sky.

......

At noon, the whole army arrived at the foot of Yuezhou City and surrounded it from the south, east, and north.

In the city, Ma Jiaolin and Xu Yong's Qing army, a total of more than 5,000 people, more than half of them were recruits who had not been recruited for a long time, and they were not well trained and did not see battles, but they only put on their coats and picked up weapons, and their combat power can be imagined. Although the enemy was outnumbered, Ma Jiaolin and Xu Yong still refused to surrender, dressed neatly, and went to the city to command.

Outside the city, Huguang Town had lunch with the loyal camp, and after a short rest, they began to attack the city.

According to the predetermined plan, the main direction of the attack was east, with seven or eight thousand people from Yuan Zong's first department serving as the main force for the siege, and Tian Hu, the general of the loyal battalion, leading the headquarters as a reserve. At the same time, more than 6,000 people from the Gangfeng Battalion and the Po Military Camp in Huguang Town launched a diversion attack from the north.

This battle was also the first time that the nine-pounder cannon of the fire battalion in Huguang Town was played. Most of the battalion's nine-pounder guns, six-pounder guns, and some rocket vehicles were concentrated to the east to prepare for artillery fire before the general attack.

Looking at the Ming army under the city, the momentum is huge, the banners are overwhelming, and seeing its firearms are sophisticated, the battle array is strictly organized, and the Qing soldiers in the city are all frightened.

Soon, with a deafening cannon sound, the siege officially began. (To be continued.) )
