Early in the morning of February 29, Wanshou Bridge

The sky is gradually brightening, and the light gauzy mist is gradually disappearing. If in the past, it was certainly a refreshing moment, though

Accompanied by a group of generals, the ruins and puffs of green smoke that drifted through the air from the large area south of Cotton Creek destroyed the atmosphere that should have been fresh beyond recognition. and Goshha's escort crossed the Cotton Creek, crossed the line of defense that had made his army pause for three days, and set foot on the former Ming army camp. Looking at the large scorched black marks that could be seen and the open flames that were still flashing from time to time, Duoduo was expressionless and did not speak for a long time.

After nightfall yesterday, the Ming army began to retreat in batches. Although it was retreating, the Ming army still did not see the slightest confusion, which one went first, which one covered, the division of labor was detailed and orderly. In addition, when the last group of officers and soldiers withdrew, a large amount of wood and firewood mixed with gunpowder piled up on the defensive line was also ignited, and the broken chariots in the camp, as well as the abandoned horses and fences, were also set on fire. Faced with a well-prepared Ming army and a raging fire, coupled with the fact that it was getting late and his own army was not ready to advance. Dordor gave up the pursuit.

"The terrain here is ordinary, but it is here that Minggou has blocked my tens of thousands of troops for three days!" Duoduo stood with his horsewhip in his hand, his eyes did not flash a cold light, "In the end, it was Minggou who took the initiative to retreat, and our army had to pass, which is really a shame for my Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Prince Yu doesn't have to say that," Geng Zhongming on the side cautiously persuaded, "Although Minggou luckily delayed our army for three days, it must have suffered heavy losses, so he had to retreat." Now. Most of the forwards led by the king of Gongshun have already arrived at the city of Changsha, as long as the main force of our army quickly goes to meet it, under the attack from both sides, the Ming dog Pang Yue, who has lost the camp as a support, will definitely collapse. ”

Duoduo glanced at Geng Zhongming, who was slightly bent, but did not make any comment on his words, and then looked at the tens of thousands of troops behind him who were already ready to go, and ordered the herald beside him: "If the order goes down, the army will immediately start and rush to Changsha City!" ”

"Huh!"

I hope Kong Youde and they can stop Pang Yue for a while! Dodor muttered silently as he walked toward his horse. But somehow, at this moment, there was an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

*********

North of Changsha City

Kong Youde, Lan Bai, Zhang Yingxiang and the rest of the Qing generals looked to the north. The expressions on the faces varied. At this moment, a large black military formation stood two miles away, and the fiery red military flags converged into a sea of red. Those banners were so familiar to them that not long ago, it was this army that had held them back at the Wanshou Bridge for three days, leaving them to bypass them by water.

It's finally here! Kong Youde calmed down slightly, and said to the generals around him: "In the next battle, I hope you will work together." Be sure to block the Ming Dog Pang Yue's troops outside the city before Prince Yu arrives with his army, so as to gather this Ming Dog and annihilate it! ”

Although the surrounding Qing generals promised to come down, they obviously did not have the momentum of yesterday. After discovering the battalion flag embroidered with guns and shields in the sea of flags on the opposite side, Lan Bai, who had always been brave in battle, also faded from his rampant state, frowned slightly, and looked serious. Although his men and horses did not directly fight the rest of the Ming army, the heavy infantry battalion of the Ming army, called the Trap Camp, left a painful and deep impression on him. In just one afternoon, 500 warriors with blue flags spilled blood on the battlefield. Such losses have not been encountered since the entry into the customs.

Compared with the generals, the expressions of the Qing soldiers are even more varied. The arrogance in the faces of the Manchurian soldiers with blue flags had been replaced by hesitation and hesitation, and the soldiers of Kong Youde's department showed a look of astonishment, especially the green battalion soldiers of Zhang Yingxiang's department. His face was full of panic, and even the hand holding the weapon began to tremble.

After inadvertently taking the expressions of the soldiers under his command into his eyes, Kong Youde couldn't help frowning, he really met a ghost, is Pang Yue so terrifying?

……

After arriving outside Changsha, Pang Yue ordered two auxiliary battalions to form a circle formation using chariots to cover the grain, grass, baggage, and wounded inside. Then, all the soldiers except the artillery lined up in battle formation south of the circle and faced the Qing army. The artillery of the Agni Battalion lined up separately on the side of the phalanx, and one artillery gun was aimed at the Qing army in front.

In the phalanx of soldiers, in the middle of the position are the three battalions of Huguang Town, a total of more than 8,000 foot soldiers, in the forefront is the Gangfeng battalion and the trapped camp firecracker team, a total of more than 2,000 firearms, each platoon has two divisions with a total of 600 people, a total of three rows, followed by the rest of the officers and soldiers of the trapped camp, the Gangfeng battalion and the broken barracks, commanded by Pang Yue personally; On the left flank were the 2,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry of the headquarters led by Chen Youlong, the general of Wugang Town, and the 500 cavalry of the Supervisory Battalion; On the right flank are more than 3,000 foot soldiers led by Ma Jinzhong, the chief soldier of Changde Town, and more than 1,500 cavalry led by Shi Youliang, the commander of the Flying Tiger Battalion.

"Soldiers!" In the large array of the Ming army, which had been arranged, Pang Yuelang, who was in the position of the Chinese army, shouted: "Hold on a little longer, and when we defeat these Tartars in front of us, we will go into the city to eat good wine and meat!" ”

As soon as Pang Yue's words fell, cheers such as "Wansheng" rose like thunder on the ground, and the sound of a tide higher than a tide and a tsunami soared into the sky, not only affecting the Qing army array, but also the soldiers and officials of the Ming army on the city tower were also infected by this majestic momentum.

……

On the upper floor of the North Gate, He Tengjiao looked at the two armies facing each other in the distance, feeling the majestic cheers of the more than 10,000 troops together, and his heart gradually settled down. After staring silently for a long time, he twisted his beard and said: "The army of the three towns outside the city is really quite strong!" ”

Although He Tengjiao knew that among the so-called "Three Towns Army" outside the city, Huguang Town's soldiers and horses accounted for the vast majority, and his opinion of Pang Yue had also changed greatly, but the previous prejudice had not been completely eliminated. Therefore, even if he praises, he is always used to kidnapping the other two towns, and generally does not make any good evaluations of Pang Yue and Huguang Town alone.

Listening to Wan He Tengjiao's emotion, Liu Chengyin realized that some of the reinforcements outside the city were his own troops, so he couldn't help but straighten his waist, quite high-spirited. At the same time, I wondered a little, why didn't those bunny cubs roar so loudly when they fought with Lao Tzu before?

"Lord Governor Mingjian!" Wang Yuncai, the deputy general of Changde Town, also showed a rare smile on his face, nodded and said, "Our soldiers and horses in Changde Town are not enough, but the army of Huguang Town under the command of Dingwubo is a real tiger and wolf army, they once took the initiative to meet the Qing attack under the command of Dingwubo, and severely damaged the Qing Han army with white flags and Huangzhou green battalions, and then ordered the main force led by the slave chief Duoduo to stop at Wanshou Bridge for three days. With this strong army, Changsha City can be protected without worry! ”

The expression on Liu Chengyin's face was unmoved, and a trace of disdain for Wang Yuncai flashed. He Tengjiao smiled and said: "That is the case, then it is very good, I hope that Dingwu Bo can really break through the obstruction of the Qing Dynasty as General Wang said, enter the city to meet with us, and jointly protect Changsha City." ”

As soon as He Tengjiao's words fell, a sudden loud noise caught him off guard and shuddered, only to see the white smoke rising from the flanks of the Ming army's phalanx outside the city, and one artillery shot the first round of shells at the Qing army.

……

After the artillery of the two armies began to fire at each other, the Qing army immediately lost the upper hand.

This time, all the guns operated by the Agni Battalion were Hongyi three-pounder guns and six-pounder guns. In order to facilitate the Qing army, only a small part of the artillery of Kong Youde's department followed, and almost none of the heavy Hongyi cannons were carried, and all the medium-sized artillery such as three-pounder guns and six-pounder guns were carried, although they were no different from the artillery of the Ming army in terms of performance, but they were obviously at a disadvantage in terms of quantity. In this way, the artillery of the Agni Battalion quickly overwhelmed the artillery of Kong Youdebu in terms of fire intensity and frequency of fire. One after another, the artillery trucks of the Qing army were constantly blown into slag of wood, and the artillery of the Qing army who operated the artillery also fell one by one.

Seeing that his artillery was really unable to confront the Ming army, Kong Youde gave an order to the sailors on the river according to the previous plan and asked them to shell the Qing army together.

At this time, the warships of the Yuezhou and Wuchang naval divisions of the Qing army were all over the Xiangjiang River in the west of the city, but what could bring the Ming army into sight was only part of the warships of the Yuezhou naval division led by Ma Jiaolin, and the artillery equipped on these ships was also relatively backward, mostly some old-fashioned general cannons, with limited range and power, and it was too far away from the Ming army's formation, and it failed to cause much loss to the Ming army after a fire, it was purely tickling. But Ma Jiaolin didn't dare to get too close to the direction of the Ming army, after all, the artillery in the Ming army's artillery array was not vegetarian.

In the face of the overwhelming artillery bombardment of the Ming army, the Qing soldiers, who were already a little nervous, became even more panicked, and some of the war horses began to neigh frantically. Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Ming army's artillery to stop, and the Qing officers and soldiers gradually returned to calm.

As soon as Kong Youde readjusted the battle formation, the Ming military array on the opposite side began to move towards this side, and in the smoke and dust that rolled up, the rumbling steps knocked on people's hearts little by little.

Since the Ming army dared to face it with a dignified formation, then Kong Youde naturally would not be the slightest timid, and in the face of the battle formation that was slowly approaching his side, he even regained a strong sense of excitement in his heart.

"All march!" Kong Youde also issued an order to advance, and the Wang Qi beside him leaned forward, and the entire Qing army began to move forward, facing the Ming army marching on the opposite side.
