197 [Gentry and Peasant Union]

The river topography of Ganzhou City is indeed very similar to Linjiang Mansion, but it is much more complicated here!

Three rivers confluence, mountains stand on all sides.

At the rear of each river, there is a large kyuwan bay, and even if you climb high and look far away, you can't see the sailors of the other side. Because the main force of the sailors was all hidden behind the bay, only a few boats were sent out to cruise.

Therefore, everyone can set up an ambush with a water master, and what the situation of the other party is, it is all based on experience to guess.

The Fujian Navy Division was used to naval battles before, and it was the first time to fight inland water battles. Moreover, after the merchant ships collected in Jiangxi were transformed into warships, many water warfare weapons were not available.

Originally, it was equipped with some Furlong machine guns, but they were all taken back to Guangdong by Shen Youlong to suppress bandits, who made the family the commander who carried the Shangfang sword?

After the water battle, Fujian sailors jumped into the river and scrambled to swim back to Ganzhou City.

The distance is very close, you can go ashore after swimming a few hundred meters, and the Ganzhou city wall is ashore.

As for the army battle on the other side of Ganzhou City, the terrain is also somewhat complicated. Fei Ruhe still remembers that when he was a teenager, Pang Chunlai taught him the elements of camping, with Egong Mountain behind him, two large ponds on the left and right, and the Ganjiang River in front. Between the camp and the Ganjiang River, there was only a gap of three miles, and the officers and soldiers had to attack from here.

And Fei Ruhe himself, he can be meritorious, with sufficient grain and grass, and abundant water sources.

In the process of marching, Huang Hanliang said: "You can divide 3,000 troops, capture the mountain in the south, and raid the camp of the thief army from the mountain." The main force of our army will attack from the front, and the flanks may be able to win a big victory. Our army captured the mountain, and the thief army must divide its forces to defend. Once the troops are divided, it will be beneficial to our army, because the enemy has few soldiers. ”

"You lead people to attack the mountain!" Chen Ting commanded.

Without saying a word, Huang Hanliang took 3,000 people to the mountainous area.

Chen Ting turned to the west, to the gap between the anti-thief camp and the Ganjiang River.

Compared with Ji'an, rice in Ganzhou was planted a little earlier, and it can be harvested at this time. In the rice fields near Fei Ruhe's camp, the peasant association has organized the peasants to complete the harvest, and the two sides will fight in the vast paddy fields.

Although Chen Tingwei hated Zou Weilian, he had to admit that the governor had a set of training.

Stationed in Ganzhou City for a year, in addition to raising grain and grass and building fireboats, more than 10,000 Fujian soldiers have also greatly improved their training, and they are no longer the rabble that collapsed at the touch of last year.

Including the generals, they all took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and stepped into the field, stepping on the muddy water and marching in formation.

A thousand firecrackers, hidden in the Chinese army, waiting for the critical moment to strike.

Chen Tingxiang sent 2,000 Fujian soldiers to attack the anti-thief camp, with two operational intentions: first, to tear down the wooden wall of the anti-thief camp; Second, after the rout, it attracted the pursuit of thieves.

Win or lose, take advantage of the situation to attack the whole army, and if you lose, you will counterattack with firearms.

The strong soldiers trained by Zou Weilian gave Chen Ting full confidence that he would not feint and turn into a rout of the whole army.

"Woohoo!"

Two thousand Fujian soldiers rushed towards the camp, and the anti-thief archers began to fire a volley, and there were pikemen waiting behind the wall.

Rather than a wall, it is a relatively strong wooden fence, which is very convenient for spears to poke out with the help of gaps.

After the Fujian soldiers were fired by a volley of bows and arrows, there were already signs of collapse. A few rushed outside the wall, and were immediately stabbed back by the pikemen, and then the two thousand Fujian soldiers were crushed.

Chen Ting was extremely depressed, and the rebels in the camp did not take advantage of the victory to kill, resulting in his follow-up deployment being completely ineffective.

Under normal circumstances, the anti-thieves should take the opportunity to kill them, and then kill the entire line of officers and soldiers to collapse.

But what Fei Ruhe thought was, why should I chase and kill?

My sailors had won a great victory, and I myself occupied the camp to rest and wait, and the officers and men could not cross the river and return to the city. As long as it is delayed for one more day, the morale of the officers and men will drop by one point, so why are they in a hurry to fight a decisive battle?

In Taihe County, Fei Ruhe, who chased and killed hundreds of thieves by himself, seemed to suddenly become a wise general.

Thanks to Fei Yinghuan's secret report last year, Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe and others all knew that the Fujian officers and soldiers had firearms in their hands, and the anti-thieves had to deal with it carefully.

Chen Ting thought that the Fire Gun Battalion was a surprise soldier, but he could be caught off guard at a critical moment. But where did he know that the anti-thieves even knew the names of the generals who commanded the fire gun battalion.

Seeing that the lure to the enemy failed, Chen Tingzheng could only reinvigorate the team and decided to forcibly attack the anti-thief camp.

It's just that the terrain is a bit disgusting, and there are ponds on both sides of the camp, so you can only attack from the front.

While deploying the army, he waited for his son-in-law.

Son-in-law Huang Hanliang entered the mountain in a surprise attack, and as long as he succeeded, he could swoop from the rear of the anti-thief camp and swoop down from the mountain to kill the anti-thief's ass.

The front and back strikes will definitely work!

There were not many anti-thieves who blocked Huang Hanliang, only four or five hundred.

Huang Hanliang is not only a prodigy, he can write Bagu Wen at the age of nine, but he is also proficient in the art of war, quite martial arts, and good at water warfare.

"Kill!"

Huang Hanliang charged forward, with 3,000 Fujian soldiers, and killed hundreds of thieves on the hillside.

But when he saw the hundreds of thieves, more than 50 people suddenly stood up, raised a strange object the size of a bowl with both hands, raised it above his head and threw it down the mountain.

Huang Hanliang thought it was a small falling rock, but ......

"Boom, boom!"

Of the "10,000 enemies" made of coarse porcelain, a few of the leads were extinguished and did not explode, and a few exploded in advance.

But there were still more than 30 of them, which fell next to the Fujian soldiers and exploded.

Not only did the porcelain splash hurt the enemy, but also the chili noodles exploded, Huang Hanliang's thigh was hit by the porcelain piece, and he felt his throat and eyes burning when he inhaled.

"Kill...... cough cough cough ......"

The fifty or so rebels raised 10,000 enemies again, and the friendly soldiers helped light the fuse with slow-burning ramie ropes.

"Boom, boom!"

There was another burst of bombing, and the 3,000 Fujian soldiers who attacked the mountains directly collapsed and fled down the mountain.

Huang Hanliang still wanted to charge with his wounds, but he couldn't suppress the rout, so he could only flee down the mountain with him. When he came to the bottom of the mountain, he pulled out the shrapnel embedded in his leg, and was completely speechless.

There is no way, Zhao Han's territory is full of kaolin, and Zhu Yuanzhang even used it to burn porcelain city bricks.

Because of the convenience of materials and the large amount of tubes, the manufacturing cost of porcelain cartridge shells is much cheaper than that of iron cartridge shells.

This thing, burned out in a kiln, hundreds, thousands!

Huang Hanliang ran back with the remnants of the army and said to his father-in-law: "The thief army has 10,000 enemies. ”

"What's wrong with your throat?" Chen Tingxiang asked.

Huang Hanliang seemed to have inflammation of his tonsils after catching a cold, his eyes kept watering, and he said in a hoarse voice: "The ten thousand enemies of the thief army, mixed with powdered pepper, my eyes and throat were hit." ”

Chen Tingxiang picked up the clairvoyant mirror and observed the arrow tower of the anti-thief camp.

Those arrow towers, when the officers and soldiers attacked for the first time, did not release arrows at all. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that there are also 10,000 enemies hidden, and when the main force of officers and soldiers attack, they will throw it out and blow up a large area.

Chen Ting began to curse Shen Youlong in his heart, that bastard Governor of Liangguang, took away all the artillery in the army, otherwise he could collapse the anti-thief arrow tower first at this moment.

Huang Hanliang said: "Lord Taishan, withdraw, this battle can't be fought." It's good to say that these anti-thieves are all turtles, shrinking in the big camp, and occupying favorable terrain, how can our army break through? ”

Chen Tingxiang turned around and looked back at the river, the water battle had come to an end, and the officers and soldiers and sailors were all gone.

"Withdraw!"

Chen Ting gritted his teeth and issued a military order.

In the anti-thief camp, Fei Ruhe said with a smile: "Prepare to pursue." ”

Nor is it a pursuit, but a distant formation that follows.

This practice made it impossible for the officers and men to retreat safely, so they could only step on the paddy fields and barely maintain their formation and slowly retreat.

Once the officers and men came out of the paddy fields, they all left along the ridges, and under the pursuit of the anti-thieves, it was easy for the officers and men to flee with the whole army.

Huang Hanliang said: "This is not the way to go. ”

Chen Ting sneered: "I know, I just want to lure the thieves out of the camp for a decisive battle, the terrain just now can't fight, change to a comfortable place for us to fight." ”

The scene became very eerie.

In the paddy fields along the river, more than 5,000 anti-thief troops slowly advanced in formation, and more than 10,000 officers and men also formed a formation and slowly retreated.

Finally, the officers and soldiers stopped, because the terrain was open, and the officers and soldiers could give full play to their superiority in strength.

"Stop!"

Fei Ruhe also stopped the pursuit, and the two sides looked at each other across several paddy fields.

Chen Ting commanded the command of the officials to spread the formation of the officers and troops more widely, and tried to rely on the superiority of troops to carry out a semi-encirclement attack around the east side - the west side is the river.

"Withdraw!"

Fei Ruhe had a bright smile on his face, and took advantage of the time when the officers and soldiers opened the formation, and suddenly ordered the whole army to withdraw to the camp.

Just one meaning, I won't fight with you, and I won't let you go.

Under such repeated pulling, the morale of the officers and soldiers will inevitably drop, because they will not be able to return to Ganzhou City, so they can only retreat to Xingguo County or Yudu County, which are further behind.

Moreover, the training degree of officers and soldiers is definitely not as good as that of the Datong Army, and if they are repeatedly pulled, they may collapse.

"The shaft deceives me!"

Chen Ting's lungs were about to explode, and he wanted to fight a decisive battle, so the thieves withdrew to the camp to defend. He ordered the withdrawal of the army, and the thieves followed, how could there be such a fighting of Laipi?

Moreover, there are paddy fields all around, and both sides can calmly advance or retreat, and one side can't rush up if they want to charge suddenly.

"Kill!"

On a mountain ridge behind the officers and soldiers, the earth-shattering shouts of killing suddenly sounded.

Chen Ting transported many of the looted goods back to Ganzhou City. But it also left a lot of grain and grass, camped by the mountains and rivers, and left more than 1,000 officers and soldiers to guard the camp and grain and grass.

"How can the anti-thieves still have the strength to raid our military camp after going around?" A Fujian thousand was shocked.

The Fujian soldiers were all shocked, because the shouts of killing came from the rear, and there were at least tens of thousands of troops.

Can a thief scatter beans into a soldier?

"Into the mountain, quickly into the mountain!"

Chen Tingxiang immediately ordered that the main force of anti-thieves in the northwest was the main force, and that a large number of anti-thieves had inexplicably appeared in the southeast, and that the southwest side of the officers and soldiers was a river, so they could only retreat towards the mountains in the northeast.

As soon as the officers and soldiers withdrew, Fei Ruhe followed slowly.

There are paddy fields everywhere, and you can't charge and pursue, so chase slowly.

Soon, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were defeated, running frantically along the ridge, shouting in horror: "General Town, our army's camp has been secretly attacked!" ”

"Guards of the camp, are there only a dozen of you left?" Chen Tingxiang asked.

The defeated soldier said, "They have fled in all directions, and the others do not know which way to flee?" ”

Chen Tingxiang asked again: "How many thieves are there who attacked the camp?" ”

The defeated soldier said, "Thousands, maybe tens of thousands." Most of them were peasants, with kitchen knives, hoes and the like in their hands. There are also some village warriors, and the gentry come to the camp with village warriors. ”

"How dare the gentry be thieves?" Chen Ting said in horror.

Yes, the gentry also became thieves.

In the past few days, the missionaries have been in contact with the landlords, and the peasant associations have organized and mobilized the peasants.

Because the Fujian soldiers killed too hard, the landlords in Ganzhou preferred to follow the thieves and help the anti-thieves defeat the Fujian officers and soldiers. Otherwise, once the thieves are defeated and flee, the Fujian soldiers can kill the landlords in Ganzhou.

This kind of thing has appeared a long time ago, a hundred years ago, the soldiers of Liangguang and Huguang surrounded and suppressed Southern Jiangxi, burning and looting all the way.

The wolf soldiers in Guangxi were the most ruthless, killing Nanjiang to ten rooms and nine emptiness!

It is a sage such as Wang Yangming, who also uses the method of continuous sitting when suppressing bandits. One household is a thief, ten households are law-correcting, killing people's heads, killing people to report each other's neighbors.

Fei Ruhe chased the officers and soldiers into the mountains, which were not rolling mountains.

Soon, the local militia also came to converge. The landlords and gentry who were powerful and prosperous, and the tenant peasants who were oppressed, worked closely together to besiege and kill the Fujian officers and soldiers under the tandem of the missionary officers and the peasant associations!
