It only took one day for the general Zhai Zhe to let everyone understand why it was him, not someone else, who recovered Jiangnan.

On a moonlit and starry night, the Ming army poured out. Zuo Ruo and Li Zhi'an led their troops and horses to kill Lekdehun's barracks.

Although at night, it is not actually a sneak attack.

At that time, hundreds of thousands of torches shone in the four fields, and Jiujiang City was like a black hole surrounded by stars in the Milky Way.

Torches everywhere, Ming troops everywhere.

Zhang Tianlu and Yang Shouzhuang and other soldiers and civilians all carried torches to patrol around to help the momentum.

There is no dangerous terrain outside Jiujiang City, and the camp built by the Qing soldiers is not as strong as Duoduo's large camp under the city of Hangzhou. Not long after Luckedhun finished his dinner, he was frightened out of the camp by the movement of the Ming army.

The fire dragon swirling and winding in the distance, more than ten miles away, could make him feel a scorching breath rushing in.

"Fire, fire," Lucked hurriedly gave the order to the artillery battalion.

The gunners and men hurriedly returned to the artillery position and reloaded their ammunition.

The torches of the Ming army were so widely distributed that the gunners could not distinguish where the main force was and where the confused auxiliaries were. The sound of iron cannons wafted through the dark plains, and finally disappeared into the depths of heaven and earth.

Zuo Ruo and Li Zhi'an each led 15,000 soldiers and horses, and rushed straight to the Qing barracks according to the terrain surveyed during the day.

"If we can't defeat the Qing in a face-to-face fight, the Han people will never be able to straighten their backs

This is Zhai Zhe's precept to the generals before he sent out the army丨 It is deeply in line with Zuo Ruo's appetite. He didn't know that Zhai Zhe had this kind of thought, and it was precisely because of his influence.

The court is the court, and the battlefield is the battlefield. Zhai Zhe would never tolerate the generals in the army having such dirty thoughts as in the court dispute.

"Whether it is a newly surrendered general or a personal soldier who has followed me from the grassland, as long as he makes meritorious service on the battlefield, he will be rewarded equally."

Zuo Ruo and Li Zhi'an will show the generals in the army tonight why they are the most powerful generals in the general's mansion.

The Ming army was led by light infantry with iron shields and pressed towards the Qing battalion.

After passing through the artillery bombardment area, the infantry assembled in front of the Qing barracks. The few armorers were in the queue of pikemen, escorting the Tiger Quatter Gunner behind the Bird Gunner.

The long bird gunners, who arrived early, set up a gun frame two hundred paces away from the arrow tower at the gate of the camp and filled it with gunpowder and lead.

The lead flew out with a bright firelight, and a scream erupted from the arrow tower directly in front of it.

After the introduction of this special long-pole bird gun from the naval division, it became a standing installation. Although it is expensive and complicated to operate, it has an attack distance of 200 paces more than that of bows and arrows, making it a wonder soldier in the army.

Shieldmen and grenadiers pass past the Captain, and the Grenadiers throw special fire oil bombs at the wooden fence under the cover of the shieldmen.

In an instant, a curtain of fire separated the Ming army and the Qing soldiers, and the flames happily stuck out their tongues in the dark night, consuming the wood under them to their heart's content.

The various firearms of the Ming army became more and more efficient. Since the separation of the weapons workshops from the Guards Ordnance Bureau and the War Bureau, the three firearms workshops have simplified the previously chaotic varieties of firearms in order to get more orders and for the convenience of making firearms, and at the same time have found skilled craftsmen to try to improve the power of firearms.

The Qing soldiers shot arrows through the wall of fire to prevent the Ming army from approaching the camp.

After only looking at it for half an hour, the Ming army's skillful tactics made Luck Dehun naturally panic. He now knew why Prince Yu Duoduo was defeated in Jiangnan.

Zuo Ruobu and Li Zhi'an were the most elite descendants of the General's Mansion, and Zhai Zhe ordered them to take the lead in the battle, precisely to play the momentum of the Ming army. At the same time, it is also demonstrating to Fang Guoan, Zhang Tianlu and Yang Shouzhuang.

The flames in the outer camp lasted for half an hour before being extinguished, and Li Zhi'an's army and Zuo Ruo's army attacked in two ways.

On the left, with the phalanx of bird-bearers as the front team, they went straight through the curtain wall with sporadic sparks. Arrows passed through the air, lead shot into the bones, and the phalanx of birds and hands entered the camp like a wall of flesh.

"One hundred steps, eighty steps"

Fang Qian always gritted his teeth. From time to time, someone around him was injured and fell to the ground, and he could hear the frantic roar of the Qing soldiers on the other side, and the hot air that spewed out seemed to be close to his cheeks.

In the two years since the Qing soldiers entered the customs, more than 20% of the 100,000 Jurchens were killed or wounded, and there were fewer and fewer skilled archers. The Qing soldiers could not catch up with the proficiency and order of the Ming army, although the movement was quite large, but the lethality was not great.

"......, fifty steps, forty steps......"

The Phalanx Bird Gunners could even see the hideous faces of the Qing soldiers who were rushing towards them.

"Release"

The gunners were like the walking dead, the iron forks and pestles, the bright and shining ropes like fireflies ignited the gunpowder, and more than a hundred birds roared in unison.

During weekday drills, Zuo Ruoxian's bird gun has the best shooting accuracy and strike strength within 20 steps, so this method of combat was designed. He would rather let the Bird's Gunner suffer losses at the front of the phalanx, and wait until he was within fifty paces of his opponent before allowing the Birdman's hand to shoot.

As soon as the Ming army's guns shot, the oncoming Qing soldiers immediately collapsed.

The training and reloading of the Ming army's gunners were already much higher than that of the Qing soldiers, and once they formed an attack advantage within fifty steps, they would no longer give the Qing soldiers a chance to breathe.

Each lead seems to be able to hit opponents, and some can even pierce several people.

The gunners were only sharp weapons to open the battle formation, and the armor and sword and shield soldiers who had been waiting for the back were like rushing rivers meeting reefs, passing through the sides of the bird's gun queue, and the pikemen were guarding behind the bird's gunner. The commando Qianzong has a scar on the right side of his face, just looking at his appearance, he is murderous, waving a knife and shouting: "Assault"

There is not a single coward in Zuo Ruo's army.

No one is born to be a warrior, and of course there is no natural coward, after a few years of training in Zuo Ruo's army, the brave are more courageous, and the weak will become numb to only know how to obey the orders of the superiors.

The defeated army was like a flock of yellow sheep that was attacked by wild wolves, and Zuo Ruobu took advantage of the situation to break into the camp for a hundred steps. Facing the thicker and thicker Qing soldiers, Zuo Ruo was keenly aware that the advance of the vanguard was blocked, and ordered: "The vanguard retreats and presses the formation with guns." ”

From rejecting firearms to setting up tactics with the bird-gun phalanx as the core, Zuo Ruo has never lost the thing he values most - courage.

Li Zhi'an's army on the east side was not as sharp as Zuo Ruojun's, but it had also broken through to the Qing camp.

The two teams of Ming troops were like two-headed monsters biting and pulling at the Qing army's camp, and they couldn't kill their opponents, so they wantonly opened the wounds, causing the opponents to bleed and suffer.

Luckedhun had never fought against such a Ming army, and when Zuo Ruojun broke through three lines of defense in a row, he even panicked about whether his large battalion would be broken through overnight.

In the second half of the night, the Ming army retreated on Xia Lu, and Zuo Ruojun and Li Zhi'anjun exhausted all their energy in three hours.

After the starry torches disappeared, countless burned-out wooden fences and tents were left in front of the Qing army's camp.

The defenders at the head of Jiujiang City watched the battle all night, and no one went out of the city to help the battle.

At the end of the day, the soldiers and horses of the two roads counted the merits they had received.

In the middle of the camp, the Qingyu level was piled up, and the blood flowed from the high places to the low-lying places to gather into a large pool of blood.

Fang Guoan, Fang Yuanke, Zhang Tianlu and Yang Shouzhuang followed behind Zhai Zhe to greet Zuo Ruo and Li Zhian

Zuo Ruo took the lead in announcing it: "On the orders of the general, I raided the Qing camp last night, and the headquarters beheaded 1,532 people, including 131 Jurchens. ”

Li Zhi'an then said, "The headquarters beheaded 1,130 people, and the Jurchens 95 people." ”

The generals were terrified, this was just the number of people who were killed. According to the battle estimates, only last night's sneak attack made at least 5,000 Qing soldiers lose the strength to fight again.

"Good" Zhai Zhe is very satisfied, such a result is a blow to Luck Dehun. His losses were not small, but the battle was played with momentum. He turned to look at the generals behind him, said in a cold tone, "This afternoon, it's time for you to go into battle." ”

The majesty of the Great General is on full display.

Under this kind of form, who would dare to kill the enemy without dedication because he wanted to preserve his strength.

In the afternoon, fighting resumed.

When Jin Shenghuan's envoy arrived at the Ming army camp, it was the time when the Ming army attacked the Qing army camp at its fiercest.

They were first captured by the scouts on the periphery, escorted into the camp, and then entered the big tent of the Chinese army and reported: "General Qiyu, Jin Shenghuan sent a messenger." ”

Zhai Zhe was quite surprised, and it was reasonable to think about it, and asked, "Have the levels of those Qing soldiers been dealt with in the morning?" ”

"Stacked in a coffin and ready to be buried"

"You take the messenger first, and then come to me."

"Obedience"

Jin Shenghuan's surrender can of course relieve a big trouble, and in the current situation, he has no capital to make any excessive demands. The Ming army gathered 200,000 troops in Jiangxi, and the Zheng family and Jiangnan were all elite, and Jin Shenghuan had no capital. Except for the Zheng family, Zhai Zhe will no longer allow Jiangnan to have independent forces.

After about two quarters of an hour, a middle-aged scribe followed Fang Jin into the Chinese army's tent, his face was very unsightly.

"Why do you still have braids?" Zhai Zhe was slightly surprised.

"Ahhh Fang Jin stepped forward with an arrow, the sword flashed, and a pinch of black fell to the ground.

The scribe shrank his head, reached out and touched the back of his head, and the pigtails were gone.

Fang advanced and retreated to one side.

Zhai Zhe was powerful: "Does Jin Shenghuan want to surrender?" ”

The middle-aged scribe was even more flustered in his heart, opened his mouth wide, waited for a moment to stabilize his mind, and replied in a trembling voice: "My general is willing to return to the Ming Dynasty and serve the general." ”

"Then why didn't he offer the city and ask for surrender?"

"If the general asks my general to serve as the chief soldier of Jiangxi, the two cities of Nanchang and Jiujiang will immediately cut off their braids and return to Ming.

"Jiangxi General Soldier?" Zhai Zhe sneered, "The generals of our army broke the Qing army in the south of the Yangtze River, and made countless meritorious deeds, and he only served as the chief soldier of each prefecture, and Jin Shenghuan can really open his mouth."

The middle-aged scribe bowed his head and did not dare to speak.

"If Jin Shenghuan wants to surrender, immediately cut his pigtails and oppose the Qing Dynasty, raise troops to attack Huguang with me, and naturally have a reward after making meritorious contributions, otherwise he will wait for the day when the city is broken."

Zhai Zhe didn't have a good face.

"It's just, my general's ......"

"Jin Shenghuan used to be an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and the same is true of Zhang Tianlu and Yang Shouzhuang in our army who are attacking Luck Dehun, Jin Shenghuan only said surrender and did nothing, how can I believe him?"

The scribe hung his head and said, "The villain understands."
