The reason why Nertu was belated was because the Qing army's Zhennan camp was attacked by the Zheng army's sailors when they crossed the river on the line of Shengtai, Caojiatai, Laoyetai, Majiatai, Fanjiatai, and Dongtai in the Zhongxiang section of the Han River. The latest chapter of this book comes from Shuhe Of course, the statement of the raid is just an after-the-fact cover-up÷ in fact, the Qing army has long known that there is a Zheng army fleet on the Han River east of Xinglong Temple, but since Nertu, no Qing army general has thought that the commander of the other party's naval division will be so bold, and only the only dozen or so red single boats left behind the division of troops to control the river along the zhì line dare to march to Zhong Xiang's side The political road of rebirth is romanticRead the full text. As a result, although the Qing army released guard posts on both sides of the Han River, it was unable to let the ferry boats that had reached the center of the Han River evade the Zheng army's artillery fire in the first place.
In the end, the last seven or eight transport ships of the Qing army's Huguang Governor Biaoshui Division Battalion, together with the Qing troops and materials on board, were all lost on the Han River, and the Zheng army also used long artillery to carry out long-distance bombardment of the Qing troops on both sides of the strait, causing a wider chaos in the Qing army. Later, it was Balin who transferred Hongyi artillery to cover the river, which drove away the Zheng army, but the trip was delayed.
However, although the trip was delayed, the Qing army finally crossed the Han River, and on the third day after the advance and the defenders of Jingzhou were divided, Nertu led more than 40,000 main forces to the city of Jingzhou, and the total strength of the Qing army had reached more than 70,000, more than twice the size of the Zheng army.
Since his side had an overwhelming superiority in troops and had a supply of military rations from Sichuan, Nertu, who had been deflated one after another, regained his confidence and decided to defeat the Zheng army in one fell swoop. However, when he looked at it this way, the Manchu and Han officers in the Zhennan battalion scratched their heads a little.
In front of the Qing generals, there was an intermittent trench that surrounded almost the entire Zheng army camp, and the connecting place was not that the Zheng army did not have the manpower to dig it, but it was obviously left for the Zheng army's own needs to send troops, although the Qing army could also use it to attack, but at the end of the passage was a strange style of city gate-like gate plug built with blue bricks and some kind of large stone. As for the trench itself, the specific depth of the trench is not clear due to the previous rain and groundwater, but the width of more than one zhang is obviously not something that can be crossed by a man and a horse.
After the trench, there is an earthen wall almost a zhang away, which should be accumulated with the soil taken out of the trench, and it can be seen from the fact that there are both bricks and wood on the outside of the earthen wall, and this earthen wall obviously has the smell of grass, but the bricks and the wooden wall are painted with a thick layer of gray mud, which should be Zheng Jun's so-called cement.
There is a strange style of horse face every ten zhang of the earthen wall, the protruding horse face is directly on the edge of the trench, there are buttresses on three sides, obviously all of them are shooting boundaries, and the trench and two sections of recessed space can be easily blocked. On the horse's face, it was faintly visible that there was a cannon, and Zheng Jun's bird gun that hit far away would definitely be arranged on it.
Although the width of the earthen wall is not clear, there is a tall sentry post built of wood behind the earthen wall between several horse faces, this post can not only observe the movement of the Qing army in the distance on weekdays, once the battle is still the best position to shoot from a high position, and because the lower part is only supported by a few logs, it is possible to destroy the outpost if the cannonball directly hits the upper part or destroys the pillar, but in terms of the current artillery accuracy, it is basically only possible to rely on the luck of the blind cat to meet the dead mouse The roaring priest of the online game.
There is also a faint wall inside the earthen wall, although it is not clear to see, but it can be roughly speculated that it should be similar to the periphery, so someone immediately commented: "Hai Reverse really has the ability, such a big project was built like this." ”
Although these words sound like evaluating the degree of Zheng Jun's construction, they are obedient and listen to the sound, and the meaning in it is understood, naturally alluding to the fact that the Jingzhou army is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and sits back and watches Zheng Jun carry out civil construction in a good time, but the person who spoke is afraid of the identity of Shana Hai and does not dare to point it out directly, so he said it so cloudy.
The military attachés of the Green Battalion may not dare to say too clearly, but the military attachés of the Eight Banners from the Jingqi and Xi'an Banner Battalions shouted: "Good guy, this is almost like a small city, how many lives do you have to gnaw it down to fill it, don't let grandpa fight this kind of battle, Shanahai?" General Jingzhou? Bah! Lao Tzu saw him and looked twisted. ”
"It's not going to be easy." Nartu also complained a little about Shanahai, but Shanahai's explanation also made sense, he was only ten thousand soldiers and horses, if he really attacked, in case it was Zheng Jun's plan to lure the enemy, Jingzhou still wanted it, so it can't be said that Shanahai is wrong, not to mention that Shanahai's generals in the army, what Balin and Ananda are not qualified to carry riding boots to the old general, and he has no right to deal with them, so he has to go back to the camp and complain to a group of generals. "It's not impossible to take the sea against the camp, but casualties are indispensable, you should discuss whether our army should attack it."
Regarding the question of Naltu, Ananda, the deputy commander of Manchuria with red flags, thought for a while and said: "According to the report of Tanmacha, Hai Wei has a partial division in Chuyang, and there is also a division in Jianli, so it is better to give up the current main force of the Zheng army and take the two places first." ”
"It's not proper, it's not proper," Barda, the deputy commander of Jingzhou's right-wing, vigorously opposed. "Hai Wei now relies on the Yangtze River shipping to transport grain, and the loss of the first line of Chuyang is not damaged at all, in the same way, it doesn't matter whether Jianli changes hands, once the imperial army attacks, Hai Wei can completely use the waterway to withdraw, if it is used in Jingzhou, it will be even worse."
"Xiaguan also means this, the latest chapter of Shennong's demonic life." Tong Guili, the deputy commander of the left wing of Jingzhou, supported his peers. "And the lower officials also thought that although the imperial army had the advantage in strength, once they attacked Chuyang and Jianli respectively, they would have to transfer more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so that with the strength of Jingzhou, the military advantage of the official army over the sea would not exist."
"It's not good to be left, it's not good to be right, can't you just be patient with Hai Reverse here, and see who can't hold on first?" Sahacha felt that he had made a big fool because he led the Governor and the Biaoshui Division Battalion to lose the battle, so he had always had the opportunity to wash away his shame, so he was immediately furious when he heard what Jingzhou said. "Is this still our Qing courtier?"
"Presumptuous!" Although Sahacha was a first-class internal guard, which of the people present was not a Manchurian noble, and which one did not have the power to play the fold and the inscription, so as soon as this uncovering remark came out, it immediately caused a great change in Shana's color. "The people present are all second-grade or above, you are a small first-class guard who dares to attack the official, is it a pampered and coquettish!" If it weren't for the fact that it was the king of Pingjun and the general of Zhennan who were in charge now, Shanahai would have ordered Sahacha to be dragged down to enforce military law. "Not yet."
Sahacha's face turned grim, and he was about to refute, but when he saw Tong Gui's sneering face, his heart suddenly stirred, and he remembered that Tong Gui was not only a member of the Tong family, but also a first-class guard in the Ouchi, and by extension, the nobles present were indeed not a first-class shrimp who could be blamed casually.
So Sahacha turned his face to the expressionless Nartu and the murderous Shanahai: "Wow! ”
Sahacha, who had eaten the turtle, retreated unwillingly to the side, but Zhu Duna, a cabinet scholar and the left attendant of the military department, twisted his beard and said: "When this official just checked the Haiwei military village, it seems that the defense line by the river seems to be a little thin, can it be possible to directly attack this section to cut off the connection between Haiwei and the river." ”
"I'm afraid this is falling into the trap of the sea rebellion." Shana Crane explained to himself. "There is a group of red single boats stationed in the river, although the number changes from time to time, but it can assist the defense, if our army mistakenly thinks that the defense here is weak and insists on attacking, then it will fall into the situation of 6 attacks against the sea and water."
"Speaking of which, there is only one way to attack head-on." Xi'an's deputy capital Balin rubbed his wrist. "It's okay, Xia Guan is preparing to let Hai Reverse also taste the power of our artillery, the latest chapter of the all-out war of the resurgence of the empire." Ba Lin said it heroically, but in fact, although the Wucheng Yonggu cannon equipped by the Qing army had the caliber of Zheng Jun's four-inch cannon, it could only shoot ten pounds of iron bullets, and its power was far less than that of Zheng Jun's three-inch guns, and the three-and-a-half-inch Shenwei Invincible General Cannon could only shoot seven or eight pounds of shells, which was almost the same as the power of the two-inch guns widely distributed by Zheng Jun at the brigade and regiment levels. "But the Mongolian horse team is gone."
"General," Balin's boasting angered several Mongol nobles, who rose up to accuse him of his hubris, claiming that he could contribute more to the campaign, and just as Nartu was being distracted by the Mongols, one of the guards rolled in. "The emperor has come to the capital, and the emperor has a will."
Naltu was startled, and hurriedly got up and took a group of Manmeng Han Zuo officials out of the tent to greet him, only to see Zhu Duna's old acquaintance, who was also a cabinet scholar, standing outside with a holy decree, and everyone did not dare to slack off, and immediately knelt on the ground~ Ertu stepped forward to say hello, Sila returned to the holy bow, and then everyone shouted long live, and then invited Silas into the tent.
Entering the tent, Silas first recited Kangxi's holy decree in front of the incense case, in which Kangxi scolded the people of Nertu and Shanahang, and reprimanded them for working hard and wasting national strength in vain. A stinking scolding made the two of them sweat in fright, and only after the content of the edict was transferred to urging the two to increase the use of soldiers, did they breathe a sigh of relief.
After the edict on the bright side was read, Sila Ping retreated from the crowd, and then told the two of them another will of Kangxi: "The emperor has dispatched 40,000 soldiers and horses from the Xuzhou battalion to reinforce Huguang, and now the army has arrived in Nanyang, and it will soon go south from the Xiangyang line." ”
"Forty thousand troops." Nartu and Shanahai looked at each other, feeling both joy and pressure in their hearts, and after a long time, Nartu assured Silas. "Please go back to Beijing to tell the emperor, the servants and others will definitely live up to the emperor's trust."
"Lord Wang, rest assured, this little thought, when the lower officials return to the capital, they will definitely show it to the emperor." After reading the holy decree, Silas was an ordinary courtier, so he naturally didn't dare to hold it up in front of the Iron Hat King. "However, now Zheng Yi is under the city of Jingzhou, his son is not yet an adult, if he can be killed in one fell swoop, then the world's major events can be determined, the prince is a clan, and Lord Sha is also an important minister of the country, this opportunity must not be missed."
Nertu patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Lord Xi, this king will order troops to attack tomorrow!" ”
