The commander of the Southern Expedition was Fei Ruhe, and he did not make any reaction in the face of the officers and soldiers crossing the river.

Huang Qi, Li Zheng, Jiang Dashan and others will definitely take action immediately, recruit local peasants as auxiliaries, and then have a big battle with the officers and soldiers to avoid more people being slaughtered by the officers and soldiers.

Who is Fei Ruhe?

The eldest son of the Fei family in Goose Lake, the eldest young master of the Fei family!

To this day, although Fei Ruhe recognizes the theory of Datong, he feels that this can take over the world. But deep down in his heart, he is still the son of that family, and no matter how many people die, it is his business.

What's more, the Fujian soldiers went to the countryside to plunder, and it was those landlords who really suffered, and the small people were just killed by the way.

Gu Jianshan, Li Hui, Fan Chao, Wan Bangyan and other naval generals were called by Fei Ruhe to a meeting.

Fei Ruhe pointed to the map and said: "The officers and soldiers secretly crossed the river in the upper reaches of the tribute water, and their main force swaggered across the river, and sent troops to plunder the countryside everywhere. If we are not taken into account, the landlord will either be a fool or deliberately lure me over. Master Lu, I'm not worried, how should your sailors fight? ”

Wan Bangyan is the son of the Linjiang Prefecture clan, and his family took the initiative to donate two ships to be converted into warships, so he became an officer of the naval division.

Although this person did not get the Xiucai examination, he was also a child, and immediately analyzed: "If the officers and soldiers are only to rob the goods, they can cross the Zhangshui and go to the west to rob them, but there is no army in the west, and there is no peasant association we have formed." Since the officers and soldiers crossed the tribute water to the east, their robbery was incidental, and their real intention was to lure us into sending troops. ”

Li Hui was born as a fisherman in Yongyang Town, and he scratched his head and said: "The river terrain here is exactly the same as that of Linjiang Mansion, will the officers and soldiers learn from us last time?" ”

"It must be," Gu Jianshan said with a smile, "prepare fire to attack the ship in one river, ambush the sailors in the other, just wait for the enemy to come, and immediately flank from both sides." At that time, I was fully prepared in the Ganjiang River and the Yuan River, and Wang Siren's officers and soldiers were not fooled, so in the end they could only take advantage of the rising water to force a fire attack. The Ganjiang River here is wider, and it is impossible to force a fire attack, so we must lure our sailors over. ”

Wan Bangyan pointed to the map and said, "The Fujian soldiers are good at naval warfare, but their sea ships cannot be transported to Jiangxi. It is also impossible for the ships collected in Fujian to lead to Jiangxi. Therefore, the number of warships of the officers and soldiers of the naval division was very small, and they were all organized and trained in Jiangxi. The swaggering of the officers and men across the river is nothing more than luring our sailors into the tribute water, and once they are hit, they will inevitably come out with fireboats. The officers and soldiers in the direction of Zhangshui will also kill to intercept it. At that time, we will be rammed by fireboats in front of us, and blocked by officers and soldiers in the rear, and we will not be able to escape if we want to. ”

"Therefore," Fei Ruhe understood, "Gongshui must have ambushed a large number of fire attack ships, while Zhangshui ambushed the main force of officers and soldiers. ”

"It's obvious," Fan Chao sneered, "This kind of little trick, we Poyang bandits have used it a lot, and they can still run to death in a daze?" The commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers took us for fools. ”

Li Hui said: "Then let's do the opposite, regardless of the officers and soldiers in the direction of Gongshui, just go to Zhangshui to destroy the main force of the officers and soldiers of the water division!" ”

Wan Bangyan shook his head and said: "You can't go directly to Zhangshui, otherwise the officers and soldiers will definitely escape, and it will be in vain to work hard at that time." ”

"Then lure out the officers and soldiers!" Gu Jianshan said.

"How?" Wan Bangyan asked.

Gu Jianshan said: "Send thirty or forty grain ships disguised as warships to sail into the tribute water. The fire attack ship with officers and soldiers is released, and when the officers and soldiers sailors come from behind, our sailors will kill again! The officers and soldiers copy our back road, and we also copy the back road of the officers and soldiers! ”

This is equivalent to sending thirty or forty grain ships to the officers and men to burn slowly, and those shipwrights do not know how many will survive.

Fei Ruhe immediately made a decision: "Call the boatmen, I want to recruit dead soldiers." Those who are willing to drive a boat to lure the enemy, whether they die in battle or flee back, will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver. The military exploits are counted separately, and the bereavement pension is counted separately! ”

Wan Bangyan said: "Just drive the boat into the tribute water, one boat and nine boatmen are enough. ”

It would have been two or three hundred dead men.

Gu Jianshan, Wan Bangyan and others immediately went to convey the military order.

There are a lot of boatmen who come to sign up, because it's not a mortal mission. When the opponent's fire attack ship is issued, they can jump ship and escape from a long distance, although it is now a high water period, but there is no flood, and the speed of the water is difficult to overwhelm the boatmen.

Of course, it is enough to swim back to the shore quickly, and it is easy to swim and be attacked by the officers and soldiers who killed in the rear.

It can only be said that these death squad boatmen have at least a fifty percent chance of survival.

And in their own opinion, the hope of life is more than ninety percent, because all of them are proud of their superb water nature.

In early July, the fourth day of the Fujian soldiers crossing the river to plunder.

Thirty-six grain carriers disguised as warships suddenly slaughtered from the Gan River to the Gongshui Valley.

The whole set of acting and acting, Fei Ruhe cooperated with the troops, and the main force of the army set off along the river bank in advance, making the illusion of advancing by land and water.

The Eight Mirror Platforms in Ganzhou City took a look at the situation at a glance and immediately lit the wolf smoke to warn.

"The thief has been tricked!"

Upstream of the tribute water, Chen Ting smiled at each other and ordered: "Wait for the anti-thief sailor to get closer, and leave enough time for the sailor on Zhangshui's side." ”

At the same time, Chen Tingxiang commanded the officers and soldiers on the land, intending to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the anti-thieves by the riverside.

He had more than 10,000 people, and only a few thousand thieves.

Moreover, he also had a thousand musketeers troops, all of which he had brought from the Fujian sea boats.

Chen Tingzheng also sent spies to Ji'an Prefecture, and since the anti-thieves uprising, there are only a few archers, and they have never used firearms. The two rounds of guns were fired, which scared these Jiangxi anti-thieves into urine!

"Stop!"

Fei Ruhe turned his head to look at the wolf smoke in Ganzhou City, since the strategy was successful, why did he send troops?

After waiting for a while, Fei Ruhe's whole army turned around and returned to the camp at the foot of Egong Mountain.

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers in Ganzhou City hurriedly waved signal flags.

At such a distance, it is impossible to see clearly with the naked eye.

But Chen Tingzheng immediately saw it clearly, because he had a clairvoyant mirror, and this thing was purchased from the Western Red Maoyi at a great cost.

This is where Chen Ting's confidence lies, he not only has the advantage of troops, but also crushes with equipment.

He has clairvoyance, he has firecracker troops, and Fei Ruhe doesn't have these.

The fire soldiers under Zhao Han have increased to more than 100 people, all led by Li Zhengtong, and are now hiding in Linjiang Mansion to prevent Zhu Xieyuan from suddenly sending troops from Nanchang.

In Fei Ruhe's hands, there was really no firearms unit, only a thousand newly trained archers.

"The thieves have withdrawn?"

Chen Ting's mind was a little confused when he put down the clairvoyant mirror, and he couldn't figure out what the thief was doing.

A young man beside him suddenly shouted: "Lord Taishan, quickly order the sailor to retreat!" ”

The person who spoke was Chen Ting's son-in-law Huang Hanliang, who was also an anti-Qing fighter in history. And it is said that nine-year-old Nengwen was still a well-known prodigy, recruited thousands of soldiers to fight against the Tartars, and was finally shot in the eye by the Qing army and died.

Chen Tingxiang reacted immediately, and hurriedly ordered: "The sailor retreats, the sailor retreats!" ”

The herald immediately rushed to the riverside and frantically waved the flag order.

There are also clairvoyants on the Eight Mirror Platforms in the city, and even on the side of the officers and soldiers and sailors, there are also clairlooms to observe the situation. Its information transmission speed is countless times that of Fei Ruhe's side.

However, it was already too late.

Fei Ruhe estimated the time to withdraw his troops, which was enough for the officers and soldiers to be killed from Zhangshui. Because if you don't kill again, you won't be able to form an encirclement, and those officers and soldiers are not mentally retarded.

Even, more than 600 fire attack ships have been ignited, and they are rushing quickly along the tribute water.

Thirty-six grain ships, each with nine boatmen, one at the helm and eight at the oars.

Seeing this, they immediately shouted a warning, and the 324 dead shipwrights ran out of the cabin and jumped into the river to escape for their lives.

More than 600 fire-attacking ships quickly collided with 36 grain ships, and the officers and soldiers and sailors also killed the tribute water from Zhangshui to block the retreat of these 36 grain ships.

In order to act realistically, the bilge of these grain ships was even loaded with a lot of stones and soil, so as not to be seen by the officers and soldiers if the draft was too shallow.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, the yellow finch is behind, Gu Jianshan led the sailor, only with small and medium-sized clippers, and quickly killed the officers and soldiers from the Ganjiang River.

"Turn, retreat!"

Before Gu Jianshan arrived at the confluence of the three rivers, the officers and soldiers had already discovered that something was wrong, and they panicked and wanted to turn and escape.

The two sides collided right in the wide expanse of the estuary!

The formation of the officers and men and the sailors was in great confusion, and hundreds of attacking ships and 36 burning grain ships were floating in from the south. And to the north, it is the real anti-thief sailor.

Fortunately, they had already sailed out of the Gongshui basin and turned to Chaozhangshui to escape.

In the midst of the panic, there was even a collision of ships, and there were several cases where several boats blocked each other.

"Kill!"

The naval divisions of the two armies finally took overboard, and the shipboard equipment on the side of the officers and men was backward, after all, all of them were warships that had been temporarily modified in Jiangxi.

Gu Jianshan, Fan Chao, Li Hui and other sailor generals all led their troops to rush and kill.

After all, Wan Bangyan is a great clan scholar, so he will not fight hard, but just command the warships under his command to go around the southwest at full speed to outflank and prevent any enemy ships from escaping into Zhangshui.

Chen Ting, the chief soldier of Fujian, is right, at this moment, he is already stupid when he observes the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror.

Once the sailor was destroyed, he personally crossed the river as bait, and the tens of thousands of Fujian soldiers he brought over could not cross the river and return to Ganzhou City. Although he still had more than a dozen troop transport ships left, he didn't dare to take another boat to go there, and he would definitely be attacked by the anti-thief sailor on the way.

More than 10,000 Fujian soldiers can't go back to Ganzhou City......

Of course, while the water war is not over, you can still pass a few thousand if you leave immediately.

But who goes and who stays?

The soldiers who were left behind were afraid that they would mutiny on the spot.

Son-in-law Huang Hanliang hurriedly said: "Lord Taishan, you must make a decision as soon as possible." First, abandon the 3,000 defenders of Ganzhou City, and immediately retreat to Xingguo County or Yudu County; Second, quickly wave the division to attack the main camp of the anti-thieves! Our army's naval division has been completely annihilated, and it is no longer possible to withdraw to Ganzhou City, and there is no third option at all, and if it drags on, the morale will collapse sooner or later. ”

"Hit!"

Chen Ting's eyes were red, he had more soldiers, and he still had a thousand firearms troops.
