Chapter 387: Unlucky Bao Chengxian

"Your Majesty..."Zhang Yan's hand was held by Chen Cao, and the whole person leaned back: "Your Majesty is self-respecting." ”

Chen Cao put his left hand around her shoulder, grabbed her hand with his right hand, and said in a low voice: "Imperial sister-in-law, be quiet, there are many palace maids and eunuchs outside, don't spread it." ”

After speaking, he put his mouth up vigorously.

"Hmm... Hmm..."

Zhang Yan couldn't speak, but she was struggling hard, but where was her strength Chen Cao's opponent, and after a few rounds, she disarmed in his hands.

Taking advantage of this effort, Chen Cao pinched Zhang Yan's shoulder with his hand.

"Don't... Your Majesty... Chen Cao... Don't..."

On a whim, Chen Cao immediately let go of Zhang Yan, then turned her around and pressed her against the kang covered with a plush blanket, took off her bottom in Zhang Yan's panicked struggle, and went straight away in the same way that he often dealt with Shen Zhuangling...

"Ahh

The palace maid outside the warm pavilion suddenly heard a burst of wheezing sound from the warm pavilion, and was immediately shocked, and then waved all the surrounding maids out with a red face, and she withdrew from the warm pavilion and closed the door herself.

Even Li Xiang, who came to find Chen Cao, was blocked from the Qianqing Palace, and when he learned that Empress Zhang of Cining Palace was talking to Chen Cao in the Warm Pavilion, Li Xiang shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and left with a little disappointment.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."

Zhang Yan was lying on the velvet blanket panting, and something yellow and white was flowing down the root of her leg to the bottom of her leg.

After Chen Cao put it on, he covered Zhang Yan's body with a blanket, and said gently: "Imperial sister-in-law, rest in peace, I have something to do, if I am tired, there is one inside..."

...

Zhenjiang Mansion, Beigu Mountain

The artillery bombardment had already blown up the Qing army's position west of Beigu Mountain beyond recognition, and Bao Chengxian, who was on the defensive side, still gave the order to die.

"My lord, the Ming army has surrounded Beigu Mountain on all sides."

Inside the big tent, Bao Chengxian's brows have not been loosened since the morning.

"Your Excellency's order is that we hold on to Beigu Mountain for seven days, but now it's only the third day, and the Ming army has attacked Xishan several times, so if it goes on like this, I'm afraid our 20,000 people won't be able to hold on."

Several lieutenant generals were nodding yes, and Bao Chengxian turned his head to look at the cronies beside him: "Withdraw at this time, Yue Tuobeile will not let us go, not to mention that the general also made a military order in front of Lord Li." ”

A personal soldier ran into the big tent: "My lord, the Ming army has retreated." ”

Kang Shu couldn't wait to eat Bao Cheng into his stomach first and then pull it out, after all, it was because of himself that he lost face in the 1st Army, and now there are even rumors that the people of the 51st Division are waste.

"How many more artillery do we have?"

The commander of the artillery battalion stood outside the many generals and said loudly: "Back to the division, there are still fifteen field artillery, twenty Shenwu cannons, and Zhuyuan artillery shells can fire twenty rounds of salvos." ”

"We can't wait any longer, if we let Bao Cheng slip away first, our 51st Division will really become a waste."

Kang Shu's voice was full of great anger: "No matter what, we must attack it today, all brigades will act according to the plan, the east, west and south will be surrounded on three sides, if they jump into the river and run away, I will not say anything, if you escape from which side of the brigade defense area, I will personally send you to the military justice department." ”

Night combat is an old method of warfare, and today, with the vigorous development of firearms, the probability of winning a night battle with the enemy is 100 percent.

Kang personally commanded the 151st Brigade to attack in the west, but when his own side had an advantage in numbers, it was best to encircle and attack on three sides.

Bao Chengxian had only 20,000 men, and the casualties in the past two days had been as high as 2,000, and most of his men did not have muskets, and the troops with flintlock muskets had only one guerrilla battalion of 2,000 men.

At this moment, the battle in the mountains on three sides started at the same time, and he was in the middle and commanded in the middle, and he was unable to send people to fill his life.

"Put..."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

The sky gradually darkened, and the people under Bao Chengxian's command were basically from Liaodong, belonging to the original Weisuo army, and the night battle was also a nightmare for them.

"Hurry up and tell your lordship, we can't hold here, please send reinforcements."

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

'Bang bang bang... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang ... Bang bang bang...'

"Master, the puppet army is starting to retreat."

Kang Shu laughed, and then took the rifle from his own soldiers: "Blow the trumpet, and the whole army will attack the mountain." ”

The fierce artillery fire covered the advance of the attacking troops, and the artillery battalion on the mountain also launched a counterattack on the attacking team at the bottom of the mountain, but the disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and it was already a great thing that Bao Chengxian could resist the attack of a division of all firearms divisions with 20,000 men.

"Quick, let the people of the musket battalion go to reinforce the West Mountain, and release the defense areas in the east and south directions, and lead the Ming army to the trap halfway up the mountain."

After a while, Bao Chengxian sat down on the seat in the big tent, and before he could take a breath, the salvo of artillery had already hit the surrounding area of the camp on the top of the mountain.

The earth-shattering explosion and the flames that followed the explosion began to burn along with the dead branches and leaves of the mountain.

"My lord," a junior colonel ran into the big tent with a roll: "My lord, quickly retreat, the Ming army has attacked halfway up the mountain, and the west mountain has been lost." ”

Kang Rate didn't expect that Bao Chengxian actually had a back hand, and the sudden musket shooting made his team suffer a lot of casualties, the same flintlock troops, after the exchange of fire was just a cup of tea, Kang Rate obviously found that the enemy's musket tactics were very messy, just like the old tactics of the Shenji Battalion that he learned at that time.

It was precisely because of this that Kang took the lead in making a preemptive move, and steadily advanced with the tactics of platoon guns at the cost of casualties, and even defeated the musket battalion that came to reinforce the army, and soon began to throw down the flintlock pistol in his hand and flee in all directions.

By the time Kang led his men into Bao Chengxian's camp, all he was left with an empty tent.

"Order all the departments, first clear the remnants of the enemy, and then blockade the entire Beigu Mountain, and while accepting the surrender, Bao Chengxian must be caught."

"Yes..."

The battle for the purge began at night until the early morning of the next day, nearly 20,000 Qing troops scattered and fled in the Beigu Mountains, there were also people who came down the mountain from all directions and tried to escape but were beaten half to death by the defenders who had been prepared for a long time and were arrested, and there were also people who were brave enough to understand the nature of water from the north and then jumped straight into the Yangtze River, but after all, they were a minority.

Bao Chengxian was very helpless, his rank was high, so according to Manchurian customs, he shaved his hair and kept braids, and the officers and soldiers of the 51st Division arrested no less than 300 generals and colonels according to their braided heads.

And in order to survive, the person in the middle disguised himself as a general Bao Chengxian was identified.

At the same time as reporting to the headquarters, Kang Shu interrogated this traitor first, and in the end learned that the troops who secretly attacked the position of the Yangzhong Shazhou artillery battalion and then crossed the river to make themselves lose face were actually only a puppet army under the command of Jiannu, and there was not even a real Tartar.

This made Kang Shu hold his breath a lot, and almost killed Bao Chengxian with one shot.

Bao Chengxian, who was then arrested, was escorted to Dantu with more than a dozen high-ranking generals, and only the trial from Nanjing awaited him.

.

At the same time, the seven major ferries of Dantu

The battle was fierce, and after receiving the military order from the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, Weng Linzhi immediately dispersed all the officers and soldiers to cooperate with the troops along the river to defend the Qing army on the other side of the river.

The rumbling cannons and the gunfire along the river looked a little haggard in the water after the explosion, but the casualties inflicted on the opponent were real.

Jiangbei, Li Yongfang and Bao Chengxian, the same as Bao Chengxian, did not loosen his brow from the beginning of the crossing of the river, although there were more than 100,000 people behind him, but in terms of the ratio of muskets, it did not reach the coverage of the whole army, only 50,000 people were issued flintlock muskets, and the rest of the troops still held long knives, bows and arrows and other throwing weapons.

"Don Ma, Yue Tuobeile sent someone to send an order to let the don cross the river as soon as possible, and not to start a war with the Ming army."

Li Yongfang was suddenly shocked: "It's bad, we haven't crossed the river for a day, won't Bao Chengxian's troops become a lone army?" ”

When the cronies and servants around him heard this, they whispered: "Donkey, the idea was made by Yue Tuobeile, and we are also acting on orders." ”

Li Yongfang shook his head, he knew too well what these Manchurians were doing: "He is the eldest son of Daishan, who do you say Your Majesty believes?" ”

"This, in this way, won't we become the ones who carry the cauldron?"

Li Yongfang turned his head and said: "Order, let the men and horses of the left wing battalion press up, set up all the Hongyi cannons, cover the troops crossing the river with cannons, and rush up no matter what." ”

"Tsk..."

Gaozi Town, nearly 200,000 people of the Shenwu Army gathered here, after receiving the military order sent by the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the army commander Wang Xiaojie was excited, the opening of the battle of crossing the river means military merit, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, the emperor did not award a reward for a certain reason, so the meritorious service in the previous battles is also for the sake of future generations.

"Lao Wang, the military order of the Governor's Mansion is to let our Shenwu Army be the main force, and Weng Linzhi's 1st Group Army covers us to cross the river, and now they are fighting by the Dantu River, we can also take this opportunity to cross the river in one fell swoop and take Jiannu by surprise."

Yuan Shizhong said and stood up: "Li Yongfang, that dog minion, it's time to hand over his life." ”

Wang Xiaojie got up, looked at the commanders of the divisions and brigades in front of him, and said in a straight voice: "All departments..."

'Bang...'

The boots are brushed and kicked.

Wang Xiaojie looked around: "My Shenwu Army was ordered to cross the river vanguard corps, it is the value of His Majesty, even the Dingwu Army does not have the honor, the battle of crossing the river is related to the future of my Shenwu Army, only a victory, absolutely not defeated, this seat here set a military order, after the start of the battle to cross the river, all departments must move forward bravely, who dares to wait for the fruits of victory, the gun on the waist of this seat is your destination;

If even the brigade dares to retreat, there are only three division commanders and three deputy division commanders here, and my pistol bullets are enough, do you understand? ”

"Yes..."
