After Zhu Jun's army repaired in Beihai City overnight, except for a small group of people who stayed behind to assist the county commander in defending the city. The army began to assemble in the mist of the Dawn Land and continued to march towards Nanning Province.

Zhu Jun sat in the bumpy carriage, and kept passing out orders to divide troops to occupy the surrounding counties. Seven or eight thousand households each took one with them, and their task was to quickly occupy the county government while the enemy had not yet reacted, and if the other party was prepared, they would temporarily contain it outside the city, so as to prevent the counties and counties of Guangxi from rushing to the aid of Nanning.

The Chinese army continued to march along the rugged path between the mountain streams. Scouts kept coming back to report the location of the death camp. Zhu Jun furrowed his eyebrows. According to the report of the scouts, the death battalion seems to be too light for the army, and under normal circumstances, the distance between the vanguard and the Chinese army will not exceed fifty miles. In this way, they can echo each other and be horns for each other, but now the death camp is advancing north day and night. Arrived at the boundary of Qinzhou first. Now it has traveled north along the Qinjiang River to Lingshan County.

"It's too risky!" Zhu Jun's brows did not expand. In the case of my strong enemy and weak land. He prefers to fight in a safe way, and any kind of adventure will be accompanied by danger. Hey, Zhu Jun leaned on the cushion in the interior of the carriage, half-squinting his eyes, among the four major army commanders, Li Xiao is good at mountains. Mu Jianming is familiar with firearms, Zhang Youde is proper and steady, and the above three are all generals. In time. I will be able to do it on my own. Only this Wang Qiu. But he is an outlier, and every time he fights, he is not afraid of death. Called a real fierce general. But someone is too fierce. It doesn't seem to bode well either.

Zhu Jun guessed correctly, the current pioneer battalion has arrived in the upper reaches of the Qinjiang River, only ten miles away from Lingshan County. Captured Lingshan County, and then advanced to the northwest. You can go straight to the city of Nanning.

Wang Qiu began to order soldiers to borrow bamboo rafts and boats from fishermen along the coast. It was busy until noon, on the other side of the Qinjiang River. Far on the horizon. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves. Hundreds of knights of the Qing army, Pegasus, rushed to the opposite bank. Immediately after the drums and trumpets sounded in unison, a black and oppressive gray army appeared behind the knight, Wang Qiu couldn't help frowning, and the crimson scar turned even redder.

"Your Excellency. On the opposite bank, a group of Qing troops appeared, at least seven or eight thousand people. "A scout on the coast came to report.

"Got it." Wang Qiu nodded. He also saw it, on both sides of the turbulent Qinjiang River. The two armies were constantly watching the enemy on the other side.

"My lord, should we give up crossing the river?" A hundred households hurriedly ran over and asked.

Wang Qiuheng glared at him: "Get out!" ”

Hyakhe grunted and went to give the order to stop the raft and boat from being launched. His problem is too lacking in standard, if it were changed to other battalions, I am afraid that some people would already take him as a joke, but the death camp is different, the death camp is completely composed of outlaws, they are the most afraid of death in the Ming army. It is the most firm and persistent warrior for the faith, with just one order. The death battalion can face the knife mountain. In the face of the sea of fire, against the enemy who is ten times and a hundred times larger, he does not hesitate to charge, Baihu asks like this, it is really normal, what can a big river block? Just get to the other side. It's still a tiger into a flock. Kill one enough Ben. Kill two and earn one.

Wang Qiu frowned calmly, and the hilt of the knife hanging on his waist was fiercely held by him. The eyes showed a shocking and fierce light. Finally he shook his head, no! The enemy was on the opposite bank, rashly crossing the river. It will only give the enemy a chance to cross the river and intercept the ground, which is too risky.

Wait! Wang Qiu felt a stone suppressed in his heart. According to his original estimates. The death battalion had to arrive in Nanning in two days, when the Qing army suddenly stopped on the other side of the river, and it was not known how long it would be delayed.

On the opposite side of the Qin River, a pair of fierce eyes are also looking at the other side of the river, Ji Hai is a person with a yellow flag, and he was sent to Guangxi as a general soldier, in the Ming Dynasty. The chief soldier is a first-class and one-place official. However, in the provinces, it is under the control of the admiral, and the nominal general army is slightly lower than the position of the admiral. However, this small deviation made the Admiral control the military power of the whole province. And the general soldier has become a veritable ornament. Can only handle Green Camp town affairs. But the green battalion is the Han army after all. He nominally ruled over the green camp of the whole province. However, most of the affairs of the Green Battalion were handled by Han officers of the middle and lower ranks, although he was a big official. But there is not much real power, and he is in charge of the green camp of Nuoda, and there are commanders and supervisors from time to time. There are people below who are taking care of military affairs, and Ji Hai is depressed. I had to receive some salary every month to spend time in Nanning.

The opportunity finally came, and Admiral Kanny was ordered by the governors of the three provinces to lead his army westward. Marched into Yunnan. Then came the news. The army of Sichuan Road was completely annihilated. The governors of the three provinces were nowhere to be found, and the governor of Sichuan, Sorotu, ran back to Sichuan with thousands of eight banners like lost dogs, and then Li Dingguo broke into Sichuan. Garrisoned under the city of Chengdu, Sorotu insisted on holding on and asked the court for help overnight, and on the other side, the fierce battle under the city of Kunming was not optimistic. Kanni and Zhao Fuming surrounded the Ming army in the pursuing city of Kunming with superior forces, but unexpectedly, more than 10,000 Ming troops were defending the back of the mountain, and the Qing army used various methods to capture it.

Kanny was finished, and after receiving the battle report, Ji Hai immediately realized the good news, and this time sent troops to Kunming. Half of the Eight Banners that Kanny had brought with him had been lost. Although such a defeat was nothing to Qiqihar, it was also a worse defeat for the imperial court. In the eyes of the imperial court, the eight banners are not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible. Kanny led 5,000 Eight Banners to join Zhao Fu's Guanning Army, and soon lost half of the Eight Banners. And so the results. Even if you capture Kunming City, at most it is just a crime of merit, if you can't make a contribution. Although it will not be executed, this admiral will not be able to do it.

If Canny can't be the admiral, who will be his successor? Ji Hai's heart pounded, among the Manchurian officers in Guangxi. Only he is the most qualified, if nothing else, he can take over the military power of Guangxi in a grand manner, and sit in the admiral's yamen to handle military affairs vividly.

Soon. A piece of news came to Nanning, and the Ming army arrived in the Beibu Gulf by land and water. Captured the North Sea and went straight up the river. It is expected to arrive in Nanning around three or five days.

Ji Hai didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly convened the generals to discuss. Now that the Ming army is in the southwest, everyone has heard of it. Almost all the official documents of the military affairs are related to the Ming army, and in a solemn atmosphere, the generals reached a consensus, and now the main force of Guangxi has been transferred to Yunnan by the admiral. Most of the people in the territory are old, weak, sick and disabled, and all the soldiers and horses from the surrounding prefectures and counties should be ordered to enter Nanning to hold on. Mopping the floor is a moment.

Ji Hai shook his head. He is more concerned about his career. He's been suppressed for too long. The Admiral's throne is bound to be won, and since this is the case, there can be no passive resistance.

However, the Ming army was huge, with many soldiers and generals, and he gathered at most 10,000 old, weak, sick and disabled. If you rush out of the city. How to fight?

This time. Another piece of news came. There were 1,000 pioneers of the Ming army. Went north along the Qin River and routed the river soldiers under the hundreds of river governors who blocked along the way.

it. The deception is too great, and a thousand people dare to be arrogant. A thought immediately popped into Ji Hai's mind. A thousand? If it is defeated with ten times the strength of the army, and then retreats back to Nanning before the army arrives, the imperial court will ask at that time. The general army is not afraid to fight. Went out of the city and annihilated the enemy vanguard. But the thief army is strong. The general army did not save its troops, so it returned to Nanning to hold on. And so it goes. There is a credit for this. I'm not afraid of gossip, it's definitely the best of both worlds.

Just do it. Ji Hai did not dare to delay. hurriedly requisitioned soldiers and horses in the city, and even domestic slaves and servants were all filled into the army. With a mixed army of 10,000, he hurried out of the city and advanced in the direction of the Chin River to intercept it.

Now, Nanning's army happened to meet their prey at the Chin River, and a fast-flowing river was blocking them.

On the other side, the Ming army began to abandon crossing the river and prepared to camp. Ji Hai became anxious, and the war he envisioned was a direct confrontation between the two armies. Subsequently, the superior forces of the Qing army ate the vanguard of the Ming army, and retreated while the main force of the Ming army had not arrived.

It will take time to implement this strategic objective. The Ming army on the other side of the river can grind and spend time camping here, but the Qing army cannot. Therefore, now Ji Hai and Wang Qiu have only one problem to consider, how can we make this big river not become an obstacle between them, and fight a decisive battle openly?

Yoshihae came up with a 'great idea'. He summoned the lieutenant general and ordered, "Order." The army retreated ten miles back and camped, let the Ming army cross the river, and tomorrow it would fight a decisive battle with the Ming army. ”

"What... What? "The adjutant general's eyes are about to burst out, what kind of battle is this, in the battle of Feishui back then. The ex-wife also let the Jin army cross the river. In the end, there was a lot of news that he was killed by the Jin army. The whole army is annihilated, and the chief soldier will not take any drugs. Do you dare to give such an order?

"Bastard, you know. Our army is anxious for a decisive battle of the Ming army. Now the Chin River is blocked, if the Ming army on the opposite bank is facing here. Within a day or two the main forces of the Ming army arrived. Let's have a, let's go and give orders. The whole army retreated ten miles. ”

When the adjutant general heard what the chief soldier said, he also felt that there was some truth. I also saw the chief soldier sitting on a high horse, looking like he was about to whip people with a horsewhip. I didn't dare to procrastinate anymore, so I hurriedly went to give the order.

The Qing army began to retreat under the command of bursts of shouts and banners, and hundreds of cavalry still walked in the end. Cover for the footmen, a moment of effort. The tide rushed to the land, and the Qing army retreated like a tide. Let the Ming army on the other side of the river was dumbfounded.

"My lord, the Qing army has retreated." Someone went over to report to Wang Qiu.

Wang Qiu nodded. He stood on a high platform. The monocular constantly observed the movements of the Qing army. It was indeed returned. There is no mud or water. There were no ambushes laid, and there was a great posture of inviting you to cross the river.

Odd. It's so weird! If it were someone else, maybe he would have tried it first, but Wang Qiu was no one else. He seized the opportunity. Immediately ordered: "Order, the whole army sits on the ground and rests and buries the pot to make food." Prepare to cross the river. When the Qing army withdrew five miles away, quickly crossed to the opposite bank and attacked immediately! ”
