Wan Yongqi, who was promoted from the deputy general of Huguang and Huangzhou to the commander-in-chief of Fushan Town, had not yet arrived, and the Wusong Water Division Battalion and the Chuansha Water Division Battalion in his defense area were successively wiped out in the camp by Zheng Jun's Zhoushan Detachment, and the left and right battalions of the town under his command were also destroyed under the artillery fire of Zheng Jun in the following Shanghai (county) and Taicang attacks and defenses, so he had actually become a bare-bones commander when he arrived in Changzhou. However, according to the green battalion military system, there were only two general army towns in the Qing army in southern Jiangsu, and one of them, the general army of Susong Town, was mainly responsible for the business of the water division, so Zheng Duan, the governor of Jiangsu, chose him as the commander of the attack.biquge.info

Standing on the slightly raised mound, looking at the long dragon winding at the official road under his feet, Hu Wei, a native of Deqing, Zhejiang, who followed Xu Qianxue to revise the "Unification Chronicles of the Qing Dynasty", arched his hand to Wan Yongqi, who was standing in front of the left, half complimenting and half inquiring, and said: "Zhentai, such a vast army, the sea should be swept by a drum." ”

He also looked down at the 3,176-person "army" in front of him, which was composed of the remnants of the Songbei Association such as the Songjiang City Garrison Camp, the Jinshan Battalion, the Zhelin Battalion, the Qingcun Battalion, the Songnan Water Division Battalion, and the Nanhui Water Division Battalion, as well as the reinforcement battalion and Qingshan Battalion transferred by Fu La, the governor of Jiangning, Wan Yongqi's face also had two dignified words written on his face.

"Although the main force of Hai Reverse is now attacking Jiaxing, the silt of Wuzhong may not be able to defend the city, and there are ten clouds in the art of war, and the official is afraid that he will not be able to take Kunshan in a hurry." Wan Yongqi is a military general, so he naturally doesn't know the importance of "The Unification of the Qing Dynasty", so in his opinion, what scholars and public opinion teachers are similar to Qingke and Xianggong, but the other party's backstage can go directly to the sky, so he has to politely explain two sentences. "Once the old division fails, I'm afraid I will have to ask for more reinforcements from Jiangning and Suzhou."

Hu Wei frowned, he didn't hear the alienation in Wan Yongqi's tone, but on the one hand, although he entered the school at the age of fifteen and had no benefit in the imperial examination, he was utilitarian, hoping to get a military merit and win the official position through this attack with the army, and on the other hand, Zheng Jun's wanton blow to the so-called "attached to Di" and "betrayal of the famous religion" of the Jiangnan gentry also made him sad, you must know that he also has the identity of a showman, plus he participated in the revision of the semi-official back of Xu Qianxue's "Unification of the Qing Dynasty". belongs to the ironclad "traitors".

It is based on the above two reasons that Hu Wei had to use a hot face to stick the cold ass of Wan Yongqi, a martial artist: "Zhentaifu is counted first, and he really has the demeanor of a famous general in ancient times, and students admire and admire." ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, as soon as Hu Wei said this, Wan Yongqi also had to say a few polite words: "How dare this official follow the sages"

Before Wan Yongqi's words were finished, a forward outpost rushed towards the location where the general flag was: "Report, Lord Zongzhen, ten miles ahead of the sea has found the traces of the sea retrograde, about eight hundred, more than ten carts, and nearly 100 servants." ”

Wan Yongqi's eyebrows raised, and before he could speak, Hu Wei shouted: "Shili, isn't that Zhengyi?" ”

The Qing army attacking from Suzhou City was from Loumen - Suzhou City Gate has a total of Chang, Xu, Pan, Snake, Craftsman (also known as Ganjiang Gate, Xiangmen), Lou, Qi and Ping, of which Loumen is the city gate in the northeast corner - go to Weiting to fight Kunshan, and Zhengyi is just between Weiting and Kunshan, which is a transportation hub that cannot be bypassed.

Wan Yongqi glanced at Hu Wei coldly, he felt that it was a mistake to accept Xu Qianxue's Jianyì and let Hu Wei act as his secretary, but the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't take people back, so he quietly ordered: "Explore again"

"I didn't expect Qinglu to come out of Suzhou City." The Qing army's outposts also allowed the Zheng army to discover their existence while probing the movements of the Zheng army, and then together with Wan Yongqi's brigade was also exposed to the Zheng army, but compared to the opponent's strength of more than 3,000 troops, in essence, the strength of the Zheng army, which only had a sentry and an infantry team and an artillery team of the first regiment of the Right Tiger Division, was much weaker. "Commander, what do you think we should do now?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you landlubbers are afraid of water, you wouldn't have met Qinglu by listening to me." Wu Ziming muttered, but now is not the time to complain, as a commander, you must be calm. "We are still dozens of miles away from the county seat, if we give up this batch of rice, we can also withdraw along the way, but in case of the siege of the city, even if we add two infantry teams and a garrison team in Kunshan City, how long can we hold on?"

Wu Ziming's concerns are not unreasonable, you must know that Zheng Jun is a guest army, in the language barrier, the gentry and non-cooperation in southern Jiangsu is difficult not to get support from the people, once surrounded in Kunshan City, there is only one way to stick to the end, but with only three outposts of more than 600 men and horses, how can it be impossible to fully garrison the city wall of Kunshan County with a circumference of more than 300 zhang.

"But Kunshan has walls after all." Huang Qi, who was also a first-step sentry officer of Jia Yinsheng, was still walking from the post of Captain Liupin Zhongxian because of his young age, but his long-term experience as a grassroots commander made him more pragmatic than his ostentatious peers. "If we defend the wilderness, then we won't be able to hold on for long?"

You Tao, the third sentry officer of the Boy Scouts, supported Huang Qi's opinion: "The rivers and lakes are connected all around, in case the Qing army divides its troops into a roundabout, Kunshan will certainly not be able to be saved, and more importantly, we may not be able to prevent the Qing captives from attacking from both sides?" ”

"Grain?" Looking at the food on the car, Wu Ziming hesitated for a moment, and then accepted the opinions of the two sentinels. "Unload the car, let the porter go home, and allow one of them to take two baskets of rice as a reward, and take the rest of the grain as much as possible, let's withdraw!"

Retreating, of course, is not about spreading your legs and running, it is naturally exquisite. Wu Ziming first arranged a group of soldiers to report the enemy situation to Zhuang Xing, the deputy commander of the regiment in Kunshan City, and asked him to arrange the evacuation and block the city wall in advance; In addition, he urgently asked Zheng Jun in Taicang, Jiading, Qingpu and other places for help; In the end, he arranged for his subordinates to divide a number of board cars into several sections across the official road, although it could not slow down the advance of the Qing army, but it could always cause the Qing army a little trouble.

Zheng Jun's actions on this side naturally attracted the attention of the Qing army's outposts, so the news quickly reached Wan Yongqi's ears, but Wan Yongqi had not yet made a decision, and Hu Wei, who was hungry for profit, said again: "Zhentai, Hai Wei must have been aware of the movements of the official army, and now they are eager to return to Kunshan to hold on, and Zhentai must not be chased." ”

"Enough!" Wan Yongqi couldn't stand Hu Wei's noise anymore and yelled. "Mr. is just a bookkeeper, and if he wants to interfere in the major affairs of the military aircraft, he will blame the official for being polite."

Hu Wei was startled, his face was red and his neck was thick and he rode the green donkey to the side, at this time Wan Yongqi, who felt that he had suddenly calmed down next to him, drove his horse to the left of the road, squinted his eyes and thought about it, and the war horse he sat down on took the opportunity to chew the grass on the side of the road, and the green donkey who was greedy for Hu Wei also bowed his head and ate it.

Wan Yongqi thought for a long time, and then ordered: "Carefully advance slowly, don't fall into the sea and lure the enemy." ”

Hu Wei opened his mouth to speak, but was forced by Wan Yongqi's cold gaze, and his heart suddenly jumped, and his heart died down unwillingly. Seeing Hu Wei's frightened appearance, Wan Yongqi smiled with satisfaction.

"It's sour, I thought that the battle was coming when I opened my mouth," Wan Yongqi muttered to himself. "You must know that this official was ordered by Futai to recover Kunshan, not to protect the family and the hospital for this adult and that adult." Although Xu Qianxue's two younger brothers are still reused by Kangxi, Wan Yongqi, who can be promoted to the chief military officer, naturally has a heel, so he did not restrain his volume at all, so that Hu Wei's face turned pale all of a sudden, and Wan Yongqi ordered disapprovingly. "Pass the order, step by step, and arrive at the city of Kunshan today."

With this old and serious general, the Qing army naturally couldn't move quickly, so the Zheng army's troops out of the city were able to withdraw to Kunshan City safely. However, the city of this small county town is low, the walls are thin, and a moat is only ten steps wide and five or six feet deep, which cannot resist the attack of the Qing army at all, which is why Wan Yongqi indulged the Zheng army.

"It's good to be back." When Wu Ziming and others who carried heavy objects returned to Kunshan out of breath, Zhuang Xing was already waiting at the gate of the city, as the youngest son of Zhuang Wenlie of the first Tianxing Zhi County, although Zhuang Xing was not as famous as An Long, Lin Kang, Hong Hui and others in the boy boy camp, but he once served as the captain of the first standard artillery team of the second town of the boy scouts, and he was also the backbone of the Jia Yin Sheng. "I have already arranged for the people in the city to go out of the city through the other three gates, and then I have to work hard to block the city gate overnight."

Wu Ziming signaled Huang Qi and You Tao on the side to bring their subordinates to the guard post to hand over the food they had brought back, and he dragged Zhuang Xing to a place where no one was around: "Brother Xian Jin, is there enough food and ammunition in the city?" ”

"The grain can last for seven days, there are still twelve barrels of gunpowder, thirty-three barrels of gunpowder, and more than 800 catties of lead bars brought, as long as the Qingyu side does not work day and night, it can barely be maintained until the food is exhausted."

"I have already arranged for the middle base to send people to Taicang and other places to ask for help, and it is estimated that we will not be allowed to wait for seven days." Wu Ziming said with confidence, this is the reason why most of the generals in Zheng Jun are now from the Boy Scouts, and they are all classmates of each other, so they naturally do their best to help each other. "But in case the Qing army divides its forces to attack the city, we don't have such great strength."

Zhuang Xing said: "So I decided to block the three city gates, set up an infantry squad on each of the three city walls, and then use the second outpost and the cavalry team as a rear position for emergency, and the rest of the troops, including the artillery team, were all thrown to the west gate to face the battle." ”

"Now the key is not to know how many cannons the Qing Lu brought." Wu Ziming's face was a little hesitant. "If the Qing captives don't carry many cannons, we can actually go out of the city to meet the battle."

Zhuang Xing's brows froze, and his tone became a little unpredictable: "Back to the water? We only have two sentry and 300 foot men, is this a suspicion of wave fighting?"
