Chapter 217: The enemy is in the Qinhuai River! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)
"Shang Zhixin's array is here, who dares to come to fight to the death, wow?"
Shang Zhixin tore his throat and shouted nonsense, while the dancers and spears rushed back and forth among the crowds of Qing soldiers outside Wuhu City, as if he had entered a no-man's land. And the more than 100 Shang family cavalry who followed him had already gone into battle with great hatred for the Manchu Dynasty and the determination to die, and at this time they saw Shang Zhixin as fierce as a tiger entering the flock, and they all turned into tigers descending from the mountain, riding war horses, screaming and rushing into the crowd, and they almost pounced on it and bit people.
That's more than a hundred armored lancers!
They were all ambushed in Wuhu City or behind the embankments of the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River, and did not form a gun formation that could resist the cavalry charge, and they did not expect the cavalry of the Geng family (Shang family) to be so brave that they fell into great chaos at once.
And where has Doron seen such a battle? How can this Shang Zhixin be more fierce than Aobai? When the day was captured, the first Baturu in Manchuria was not like this! And he also shouted for the formation to kill him Doron. Obviously, there is no battle slashing, how can you talk nonsense?
"Multi-system army, we can't let Shang Zhixin go on shouting like this!"
When Duolong didn't know what to do, Li Guangdi, who was beside him, finally made a suggestion!
Duolong turned his head and glanced at him: "I also know that I can't let him shout, but he won't listen to me!" ”
"Commander of the army, you should show up to command!" Li Guangdi said loudly, "Our people lying outside the city were caught off guard by the surnamed Shang, and the Mang assistant leader couldn't control the team for a while, if the Geng family's army was allowed to take advantage of the chaos to kill across the pontoon bridge, the consequences would be unimaginable!" ”
As he spoke, Li Guangdi raised his hand and pointed to the 8,000 Geng troops on the official road on the south bank of the Yangtze River!
Duolong looked in the direction of his finger, but it was okay, and when he looked at it, the cold hair stood up. He only saw the heavily armed Geng army cavalry, rushing towards the pontoon bridge on the long river, looking like they were not here to go to the battlefield, but like they were here to pick up money. There are 4,000 Eight Banners here in Wuhu! Is it so vulnerable in their eyes?
When Doron was stunned, Li Guangdi had already reacted, and shouted loudly to Dorung's Goshha: "Quickly help the multi-control army to stand up. Hurry up and put up the festival flags and recognition flags of the multi-system army! Shout with me: The multi-system army is here! The traitor Hugh is rampant! ”
Among the Goshha under Dolon's hands, there were still a few people who knew that the situation was critical, and without waiting for the frightened Doshha to react, they rushed up and straightened his lying body, and erected a Doron's recognition flag and the governor's festival flag, and then a group of Goshha shouted together: "The multi-system army is here!" The traitor Hugh is rampant! ”
This time, the Eight Banners soldiers who were ambushed outside Wuhu City and beat themselves were finally relieved, it turned out that Duolong, a corrupt official, did not let Shang Zhixin be hacked to death, and he did not escape from the battle. It seems to be quite calm, and it can still be supported by people standing on the city wall. I don't know if I fell off my horse and injured my legs and feet when I was fighting with Monk Zhixin just now?
Shang Zhixin was rampage among the Qing army, and he was so successful that he suddenly heard "The multi-system army is here", so he followed the sound and found that Duolong was also found!
Doron used to hide from the city walls. How is this going to be fought? The war horse can't rush up! Shang Zhixin thought about it with his brain: Oh, there is, I learned archery!
Remembering that he could shoot arrows, Shang Zhixin quickly put the pistol on his shoulder (the pistol was tied to the rope and could be carried on his back), and then rode his horse to the city wall, while taking out the bow and arrow, and seeing that the distance was almost there, he opened his bow and set up an arrow, and pointed an arrow at Doron, which hit Doron's heart!
Duolong only felt something hit his chest, looked down, and found a feather arrow hanging on his official uniform, and immediately frightened the crotch of his pants for a while, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. There was only one thought in my mind: it's over! An arrow pierced the heart and was killed!
At the thought of being shot to death, Doron suddenly lost the strength to run away and call for help, and if it wasn't for someone to help him, the whole person would have collapsed to the ground.
However, Doron, who was hit by an arrow, did not cry or run, and stood there as if he was fine, his festival flag and recognition flag were still fluttering in the wind, which also boosted the morale of some of the Eight Banner soldiers under the city - this Dolon looked quite "bear", but he didn't expect that he was still a bit of a general at the critical moment, and he was shot as a target, and he was calm and calm, not afraid at all!
Shang Zhixin saw that Duolong was hit by an arrow and did not fall, so he knew that this product must be wearing armor under its official uniform, and most of it was more than one layer! So it's not okay to shoot the body, you have to shoot in the face! It's called shooting people in the face first!
Thinking of this, he drew another feather arrow and shot it at Doron's big face. Didn't hit!
Doron's face was big, but it was much smaller than his body. And Shang Zhixin's archery skills are actually not good, and Wang Fuchen, Wang Zhongxiao, their "belonging to Lu Bu" is not the same grade at all, the arrow that hit Duolong's body just now is also blind, and now it is even more uncertain to shoot his face. A few arrows missed in a row!
The Shang family cavalry who followed Shang Zhixin saw that their master didn't shoot Duolong with a few arrows, and they were also a little anxious, so they took out their bows and arrows to help Shang Zhixin shoot together.
For a while, it was a bit of a rain of arrows!
And Doron is already "dead", and the "dead man" will not move, and he will not be afraid of death, so he just stood stiffly, and Shang Zhixin and others continued to shoot.
But those who shot arrows didn't seem to be very accurate, and they shot dozens of arrows at Doron, but none of them hit Doron's big face.
And Dolong's behavior of "many dead people" who are not afraid of death greatly encouraged the chaotic Eight Banners soldiers under the city wall. Suddenly, a large group of people rekindled their fighting spirit, and they rushed towards Shang Zhixin, who was shooting arrows while walking around under the city wall.
And Goshha of Dolong also reacted at this time, and also picked up his bow and arrow and shot at Shang Zhixin and others in the city.
Up and down the city, arrows came and went, and it was a lively shot, but it didn't cause many casualties.
On the one hand, the people on both sides did not shoot arrows very accurately, and on the other hand, both sides were wearing armor. So you come and go, just shoot a lonely. However, there were a few horses on which the Shang family rode without armor, and the arrows that fell from the city pierced into the flesh, making a series of sloppy screams.
Faced with the whizzing arrows and the situation of horses being hit by arrows from time to time, Shang Zhixin did not dare to get close to the city wall to shoot Duolong, so he had to put away his bow and arrows and wanted to continue to attack the Qing army's foot soldiers. But at this time, there were already a few "groups" with spears coming towards him.
Although it was not a gun array, Shang Zhixin still didn't dare to rush forward, so he had to take his cavalry to bypass these "groups" of pikemen, and this circumambulation lost the momentum.
And taking advantage of the moment when Shang Zhixin led his men to approach the city wall and fire arrows and walk around the "spear group" of the Qing army, the Qing army ambush soldiers who fell into chaos on the north bank of the Yangtze River also eased up and began to form a phalanx that could resist the cavalry, and the ambush soldiers in Wuhu City also rushed out of Wuhu City with spears and muskets and cannons.
Of course, the Jiangning Garrison Banner Army also had a horse team, and they were also hiding in Wuhu City, and they were originally intended to be used to chase and kill the Geng army who was ambushed and fled, but now they also rushed out together.
Now Shang Zhixin and they fell into a bitter battle, after all, they only had more than 100 horsemen, and the Qing army on this side of Wuhu had more than 4,000 people!
But Shang Zhixin and these people also let go, and they didn't think about escaping at all, but just rushed left and again on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Although the Qing army was superior in numbers, they turned the ambush war into a surprise attack, and the scattered ambushed troops fell into chaos, but groups fought separately, and it was difficult to form a joint force, so they couldn't take Shang Zhixin's more than 100 horsemen for a while.
And just when the battle on the north bank of the Yangtze River was about to last for a while, Liu Jinzhong had already commanded eight thousand Geng troops to rush to the edge of the Changhe pontoon bridge!
Mang Yitu, who had gathered three or five hundred people around him, had been paying attention to the situation on the pontoon bridge of the Changhe River, and now he saw that the enemy of the brigade was about to rush over, so he had to give an order to the Qing army that had not yet stabilized at the bottom - quickly withdraw into Wuhu City!
While rushing to the south bank of the Changhe pontoon bridge with his subordinates, line up to resist a little!
A fierce battle between the two sides immediately began on the north bank of the Long Bridge!
Liu Jinzhong's side took the lead not in his old troops, but in the banner army of the 1,000 Xushun Mansion led by Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming, and it was Deng Guangming's nephew Deng Zhong who led the charge with 200 cavalry!
I saw that he was also the same as Shang Zhixin, wearing heavy armor and holding a spear, and rushed across the long bridge in one horse, and crashed into the Qing army's infantry formation, and then his cavalry stepped up without hesitation!
These were originally a little afraid of the Jiangning Banner Army, but it was obviously not the Banner Army that was ambushed outside Wuhu City, but the weak Jiangnan Green Battalion - they were all wearing green camp uniforms! Moreover, the ambush of two or three thousand people gave Shang Zhixin more than 100 horsemen to rush into a mess, this is a "weak chicken"!
So what are you afraid of? Rush it!
Mang Yitu also got on the horse at this time, carrying a spear and leading a group of relatives to go up, and fought with Deng Zhong, it was difficult to solve!
The two sides fought for a long time, Shang Shuying and Deng Guangming had already rushed up with their troops, this was a small 800 people, of which 200 were cavalry, and the rest were infantry troops in heavy armor, with extremely strong hand-to-hand combat ability.
Mang Yitu also knew that the pontoon bridge could never be lost, so while resisting Deng Zhong, a fierce general, he commanded loudly: "Hurry up, go and call someone to support."
And what answered him was a piercing gong: "Dangdangdang"
Mingjin retreats!
The voice came from behind Manyitu. Doron actually ordered a retreat!
Mang Yitu had the intention of hacking Duolong to death, but when the other Qing soldiers heard the sound of the gong, they all rushed towards the Wuhu city gate like a low tide. Mang Yitu had no choice, so he had to lead his own soldiers to fight and retreat, and finally relied on four retreats to run faster than two legs, rushed into Wuhu City, after entering the city, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and then galloped up the city wall, followed Duolong's recognition of the flag, and found Duolong, who had been protected by the rattan regiment.
Seeing Duolong, who had no face and a smell of urine, he was angry and didn't care about the officialdom, but just asked loudly: "Why do you want to withdraw the troops?" ”
Doron didn't argue with him, but raised a trembling arm, pointed to the north, and said in a trembling voice: "You, you see for yourself."
Mang Yitu looked in the direction of Duolong's finger, and suddenly the color changed greatly.
He only saw the smoke and dust in the northern sky, and it was obvious that a large group of people were coming towards Wuhu!
"It's . This is the governor of Liangjiang and the Jiangning regimental exercise? ”
"Not all," said Li Guang, who was with Duolong, "Geng Jingzhong's 9,000 army went around to the north of Wuhu, and the Jiangning regiment practiced and collapsed and fled to Jiangning City, and Geng Jingzhong's people took the opportunity to charter the retreat of the multi-system army to Jiangning, they had to come to Wuhu, and Geng Jingzhong's people also followed. What now? ”
"Now."
As soon as Mang Yitu spoke, there was a sudden earth-shattering cheer in the south of Wuhu City: "Victory!" Won"
Mang Yitu turned his head to take a look, and found that the Geng family's army foot soldiers with red cloth on their heads had already stepped across the pontoon bridge and drove to the south bank of the Yangtze River!
They obviously also saw the smoke and dust in the sky north of Wuhu, and knew that the Qing army in Wuhu had been attacked by the enemy!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Mang Yitu said, "There are 1,000 banner troops under the command of the Ejun Gate, more than 1,000 army commanders, 1,000 Jiangning garrison camps, and 2,000 Jiangning regimental exercises. The Eight Banners family in the city should still be able to produce a thousand people, a total of 6,000 troops, and they can still be defended.
In addition, Wuhu is close to the Yangtze River, and the wharf is out of the west gate, so it will not be surrounded! We can send someone to report to King Kang in Jiujiang, and then send a message to Shi Junmen in Guazhou, asking him to lead the naval ships to Wuhu to pick us up. ”
Duolong nodded with a blank expression: "That's it."
Jiangning is full of cities, and Jiangning garrisons the general Yamen.
Jiang Ning's general Echu received an urgent military report sent by the prefect of Taiping Prefecture, and the whole person was stupid, just sitting in his lobby and constantly asking the people below: "Enemy, where is the enemy?" Where is the enemy? ”
One of the deputy commanders of the Jiangning Banner Army replied with a sweat on his head: "General, the enemy is still far away, and the enemy is still in Wuhu. The multi-system army has 12,000 men, and it is not so easy to destroy. ”
Echu, who was already old, with a gray beard and braids, sighed, shook his head and said: "I shouldn't have let Xiao Duozi (Duolong) send troops, I should have gone in person I watched Xiao Duozi grow up, he is completely different from him Amma, he is not the material for leading soldiers to fight!" Woo."
The old man was crying urgently!
This old man is the "old villain" who followed Dolgon from outside the pass, when Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition reached Nanjing, he also led troops from Jingzhou to support, defeated Zheng Chenggong, and was a ruthless man who could fight.
But ruthless people also get old!
However, contrary to the expectations of Echu and his men, their real enemy is not in Wuhu, but in . On the Qinhuai River!
That's right, it's on the Qinhuai River with ten miles of fireworks!
On a very luxuriously decorated painting boat, accompanied by beautiful women, they are about to enter the water gate of Jiangning City.
Because Jiangning City is now on high alert, a guard has also been added to the Water Gate, and ships entering and leaving must be checked.
A foreign commissar of Jiangning's city camp led two small soldiers to board the painting boat that rode the most dangerous enemy of the Qing Dynasty, the third prince of Zhu. I saw three men dressed as military attachés with beautiful women sitting in the painting boat, each accompanied by a beautiful woman, drinking and listening to music. One of them is a member of the second grade, accompanied by a beautiful woman who is quite delicate and has a bit of fairy spirit.
The other two are six-rank officials, and one is leading a little beauty with a bit of grace beside her, who is singing while stroking the piano, and at a glance she knows that it is a famous prostitute on the Qinhuai River. There is also a six-grade official who is a dignified-looking young man, in his twenties, holding an extremely enchanting and graceful "big beauty", who seems to have drunk a few more glasses, a little drunk, and touched it with a big hand very unruly. And the woman wasn't angry, she just giggled and didn't know which green building was in? Seeing that a few people guarding the city camp in Jiangning were about to drool.
The six-rank military attaché, who seemed to have drunk a few more glasses, saw someone breaking in, and immediately became angry with the strength of the wine: "Bastard, who are you? How dare you disturb Chen Zongrong listening to the music. Do you know who he is? He is the general soldier of the sea aid town, and he is an old friend of the Liangjiang multi-system army! This time, I'm here to send beauty to the multi-system army."
"Uh-huh!" Chen Zongbing, it was Chen Yonghua who coughed, "Zhongshan, don't talk nonsense and send it away!" ”
"Huh!" The young military attache who was called "Zhongshan" by Chen Yonghua staggered to his feet with the support of the "big" beauty, and then swaggered to the head of the foreign commissioner, took out a waist card and handed it over.
The foreign commissioner took the waist card and looked at it, and it was engraved with the words "Aid to the Water Division".
