Chapter 149: The Battle of Jinjiling IV

In the darkness, countless torches flowed down, and the Ming army urgently reinforced Pingshi Town.

At this time, the problem of the scarcity of the Ming army on Jinji Ridge was undoubtedly revealed.

But Pingshi Town is really important to the soldiers on Jinji Ridge. Pingshi Town was occupied by the Xia army, and the rear road of the Ming army on Jinji Ridge was cut off.

Relying on a lone army, even above the vanguard, it can't last long.

Even if he knew that Pingshi Town was in danger, the Jinjiling guards had to take a risk to fight, the so-called place where soldiers must fight.

However, the more than 1,000 reinforcements squeezed out of the teeth rushed into the ambush circle like this. Chen Xiaoyi waited for a long time.

"Kill." Chen Xiaoyi rushed out with a shout.

The first to rush into the Ming army.

Countless Xia soldiers rushed out of the darkness, as if they were ghosts. For a time, the Ming army was in chaos.

This shows the gap in the quality of the two sides.

The soldiers under Chen Xiaoyi, although they have only joined the Xia army for a few years, have been making trouble in Xuzhou with Cheng Jikong for a long time. These battles are experienced, and as long as they can be disciplined by the military, they are a capable soldier.

The Ming army lost blood on a large scale, and there were very few possible soldiers, and in the corner of Pingshi Town, it could only be a new army. Compared with Chen Xiaoyi, it can't be compared at all.

In addition to the darkness of the night, it has different effects on different people.

Night is Chen Xiaoyi's protective color.

So that the Ming army could not see how many of them there were. and disguised the ambush, so that the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand battle at the beginning.

The night was the color of terror of the Ming army.

I don't know, how many enemies there are, I don't know where they came from, I don't even know who they are.

A battle is a hand-to-hand engagement.

The darkness of the night greatly increased the panic of the Ming army. If it is daylight, conniving at these Ming troops is not Chen Xiaoyi's opponent. It won't collapse at the touch of a button. But in the darkness of the night, this is not uncommon.

After a setback, the Ming army on Jinji Ridge had no other moves. Because they don't have the capital to move again.

It's going to dawn after all.

After dawn, Cheng Jikong passed through the Wujiang River and transported hundreds of soldiers over again.

Because the lower reaches of the Wujiang River were controlled by Chen Xiaoyi. Coupled with the daytime, it is much better than the night.

Immediately in the morning, another fierce offensive was launched on Jinjiling.

However, although the Ming army above Jinji Ridge was partially weakened. But the reason why Jinji Ridge is difficult to get down is not because of the Ming army on Jinji Ridge, but because of the topography of Jinji Ridge.

Therefore, the frontal attack from Jinjiling still suffered a lot of casualties, but there was no progress at all.

Only the attack in the direction of Green Pingshi Town has made a little progress.

It seems that from the direction of Pingshi Town to Jinjiling, there is a gap and gentle slope. It's not too big, but it's much easier to attack than before.

Just when Cheng Jikong was attacking head-on, Chen Xiaoyi also started to attack behind. But what really made some progress was Chen Xiaoyi's department.

Although the number of Chen Xiaoyi is smaller. However, the geographical advantage is also smaller.

Even once he had already attacked the Jinji Ridge, he was immediately driven down by the Ming army on the Jinji Ridge.

Cheng Jikong gritted his teeth, ready to integrate the army and attack again. The two-day attack has already brought thousands of casualties to the three battalions under the command of Cheng Jikong. Although there were a large number of wounded. The number of dead and wounded was only about 1,000. But morale has already been dampened.

What's more, the few places that can be attacked are very narrow. Spread out the troops. Another offensive is unlikely to be captured in one fell swoop.

"Your Excellency. There is a way to be humble. A man said.

Cheng Jikong looked over, but he was a general of the Changsha Ming Army. Hei Yunchang.

"Say." Cheng Jikong said in a bad tone.

Although these Changsha generals are also Xia Jun, but these Xia Jun are impossible to treat the original Xia Jun with the same treatment, even if Zhang Xuan has no idea of discrimination, the people below spontaneously have this attitude.

Therefore, the generals in Changsha and even in the southern expedition were reorganized and added to other departments, and most of the officers' positions were drawn from Zhang Xuan's old department.

As for most of the original Ming army officers, they all sank into subordinates, except for a few. There is not much position in the Xia army at all.

As for Hei Yunchang, it is also like this.

He was originally a member of the Changsha Navy, but in the defense of Changsha, the Changsha Navy, which was of no use at all, was transferred ashore. It was used as a foot soldier, and when he went out of the city to fight, he was captured after the defeat.

When he assisted Cheng Jikong in attacking from the west bank, he served as a pioneer in the army. The city was broken, and he was also a general, so Cheng Jikong's department was incorporated into a lot of surrendered troops. There were not enough officers, so Hei Yunchang was appointed as a sentry.

However, even so, Hei Yunchang had no standing to speak in front of Cheng Jikong.

At this moment, Hei Yunchang couldn't help it.

There is no other reason. Everyone has a sense of intimacy. In the face of such hard bones. Cheng Jikong also knows who to send to attack, it's all about the same. Therefore, Cheng Jikong sent Hei Yunchang's battalion to attack many times.

If nothing else, just the number of casualties. Hei Yunchang contributed more than 100 people to a single outpost, and almost lost his combat effectiveness.

Hei Yunchang is afraid that he will go into battle again, and I am afraid that it is unlikely that he wants to come back.

Hei Yunchang said: "Now on Jinji Ridge, it has become a trapped beast. In the opinion of our subordinates, should we send someone to persuade us to surrender? ”

"Persuasion?" Cheng Jikong's heart moved, he really didn't think about it from this aspect. Then he became hesitant. On the one hand, Zhang Xuan forced him very tightly, no matter what he did, as long as he could take Jinjiling and Pingshi Town, he would do anything. On the other hand, he was unwilling, there were so many dead and wounded under his command, he had already had the idea of not leaving the chickens and dogs after capturing Jinjiling.

"My lord, even if you attack again, it will take a while to adjust, so it's better to send someone up the mountain to give it a try." Hei Yunchang saw Cheng Jikong hesitating, and immediately struck while the iron was hot and said.

"Okay." Cheng Jikong said: "You go." ”

"Me!" Hei Yunchang was taken aback, he hadn't thought of taking such a risk.

"What, don't you dare?" Cheng Jikong said.

Hei Yunchang never dared to say that he didn't dare, and said: "My subordinates have orders." ”

Hei Yunchang had to go to Jinji Ridge.

However, Hei Yunchang's judgment was good, this Ming army was only a little more than 2,000 people. Seeing that there were many enemies, especially today, the brigade arrived one after another.

The more Xia Jun came, the more frightened they became. After the capture of Zaipingshi Town. I was even more frightened. Because they knew that when Yongli and Shaowu were fighting, it was impossible to send reinforcements over, let alone so many enemies.

When the battle reaches this place, the victory and defeat have been decided, and the rest is just the end, and at most a few more days will be wasted. As a local guard, he would not understand how much of a blow he would have to deal with Zhang Xuan's plan if he insisted on it for a few days. If Zhang Xuan stays here for a few days, even if he is deaf and blind in Guangzhou, he can hear some rumors.

Maybe they wouldn't think much about it.

For no other reason, they are nominally Yongli people, but in fact the two sides can't get close. For them, being a soldier is just a mixed meal, and as for the life and death of the big guys, it has nothing to do with them.

will not use their own lives to pave the way for other people's victories.

At this moment, they are also deliberating about how to surrender, and in this hopeless situation, they do not have the confidence to persevere.

Hei Yunchang came down from it in just a while. Quickly came to see Cheng Jikong and said, "My lord, they have descended." ”

"It's down." Cheng Jikong was stunned for a while, and he couldn't believe it. Only to the Ming army on the Jinji Ridge rushed down, came to the foot of the Jinji Ridge one after another, and laid down their weapons.

Cheng Jikong also believed this, and while sending someone to accept Jinjiling, he reported to Zhang Xuan.

In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't need Cheng Jikong to report.

Zhang Xuan has always paid attention to the war here, and when Jinjiling was captured, Zhang Xuan knew about it. Immediately led the people to the front line to inspect, and accompanied by Cheng Jikong, they climbed the Jinji Ridge, which is not high, step by step. Looking at the Wujiang River on the west side, bypassing Pingshi Town and entering the mountains to the east. The block in my heart suddenly disappeared.
