More than 200 people on Huang Tianlei's side have died under the cannon behind him. Although this loss was nothing for a force of more than 10,000 troops, the psychological pressure caused by the continuous shelling had brought the morale of the Qing army to the brink of collapse.

Huang Tianlei listened to the increasingly dense cannons and screams in the Soapmouth Fortress, gritted his teeth desperately and persevered, restraining his subordinates from moving, and thought in his heart: It's almost fast, the movement is so big, it must be General Wang who is slaughtering the Ming army.

Suddenly, he saw that the people on the fortress at the ferry began to run outward, and they seemed extremely flustered, and many of them even jumped directly from the top of the two-zhang high wall, and in an instant, a large number of people were already running towards the river.

Huang Tianlei looked at those deserters and trembled in his heart - how could these people look like Qing Army?!

He hurriedly ordered his troops to retreat slowly, but his soldiers also had eyes, and soon learned that the siege team had been defeated by the Ming army, and these people were already extremely demoralized, and they could no longer control it at this time, how could there be any slow retreat, and nearly 10,000 people shouted "Defeated!" Defeated! "Rushing to the north of the river.

The Qing army, who was originally in charge of guarding the boat, was the first to flee in the boat, and the rout army behind scrambled to jump on the boat and row towards the opposite bank.

Yang Tinglin saw that the enemy army suddenly retreated, and at first he was worried about fraud, so he sent people to investigate carefully, so he ordered Wan Yuan Ji to lead people to chase and kill the fleeing enemy.

Huang Tianlei saw the large group of men and horses from a distance on the boat, and was worried that the Ming army would grab the boat and chase it to the other side, so he ordered his henchmen to burn all the empty ships with a fire, regardless of the fact that there were still thousands of Qing soldiers on the ship.

Jin Shenghuan saw the smoke billowing on the west bank of the Ganjiang River, and he was very puzzled. After Huang Tianlei's ship returned, he realized that the 40,000 army had not only failed to gnaw the strange-looking fortress, but had also lost most of it on the other side.

When all the ships arrived on the east coast, there was no trace of Wang Deren. Jin Shenghuan couldn't help but be shocked, Wang Deren was the fierce general he relied on the most, and nine of his victories in Jiangxi were won by Wang Deren, and he even married Wang Deren as a brother.

After a short time, Huang Tianlei counted the soldiers who had fled back to the east bank and found that there were only more than 15,000 people left.

Jin Shenghuan's heart suddenly felt like ashes, this time he folded Wang Deren, and lost most of the soldiers and horses, and the future conquest of Jiangxi was undoubtedly a fool's dream for him.

Nanchang, he looked to the north, as long as he kept the important town of Nanchang, waiting for the master to send troops to rescue, maybe there would be a chance to make a comeback. If you lose Nanchang again, there is really only one dead end!

He immediately ordered to leave only the rations, and threw all the remaining grain, grass, artillery, and baggage into the Ganjiang River, and everyone still returned to the boat, and immediately returned to Nanchang along the waterway of the Ganjiang River.

……

Nanchang City is like a gray dragon coiling sideways on the Gan River, and from time to time there are large and small ships coming and going on the river, just like fish and shrimp swimming around the side of the dragon.

Su Chengyu looked at Nanchang from afar, and his heart was full of emotion.

More than half a year ago, he came to this world inexplicably, but he was shocked to realize that the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, and the northern captives were wreaking havoc everywhere in the land of China.

At that time, Jin Shenghuan led the arrogant soldiers to attack the city and trap the fortress in various parts of Jiangxi, and the Ming army in the entire Jiangxi was tired of fighting.

At this time, in March of the second year of Longwu, in history, the Qing army had passed Wan'an and was rushing towards Ganzhou Mansion, which was the last foothold of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi.

But now, he relies on the Dragon Guard Army built by himself, and he has moved the wheel of history away from the original trajectory little by little.

Ten of the thirteen state capitals in Jiangxi have returned to the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the real control area of Jianyu is only three state capitals in the west, and there are no Qing troops except Nanchang, so they can almost be recovered by sending a few people to carry a flag over the past. As for Ji'an Mansion and Linjiang Mansion, when the news of Jin Shenghuan's retreat from Nanchang came out, many places in the two prefectures had announced that they would return to the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of 1646, the Qing army returned to Beijing to repair and the golden window left for the Ming Dynasty was finally not wasted.

Originally, the history of the Qing army's siege of Ganzhou has now become the Ming army's attack on Nanchang from the north and south. As long as Nanchang City is taken, the whole of Jiangxi will completely return to the control of the Ming Dynasty.

The stormy Longwu Dynasty can finally leave the cage of Fujian and have a base that truly belongs to itself.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi shipping was developed, resulting in a prosperous business. At the same time, it is a land south of the Yangtze River, rich in products, and a high-yield area for students. It can be said that with Jiangxi, the Longwu Dynasty can be regarded as truly having the foundation of Zhongxing.

Strategically, the north of Jiangxi is connected to the south of Zhili, and the troops can be sent to Nanjing at any time. It is bordered by Zhejiang, the most economically developed city in the Ming Dynasty. It is an excellent strategic outpost, which can be based on Jiangxi to capture the two most important provinces for the Ming Dynasty.

And all this can be achieved by only capturing the Nanchang City in front of you!

Su Chengyu picked up the binoculars, and the thick city wall of Nanchang was in front of him. However, the Dragon Guard was a typical elite field army, with a small number of people and a lack of siege equipment and heavy artillery, so he could only wait for the arrival of other Ming troops before discussing the siege plan.

However, the hussars of the Dragon Guard Army have been closely monitoring all the entrances and exits of Nanchang. A few days ago, Bai Yuanyi of the Qing army secretly led a team out of the city to search for grain and grass, and as soon as he walked less than two miles away, he was immediately discovered by the hussars and returned to Su Chengyu.

Then the Long Wei army marched twenty miles in a hurry and copied the back road of Bai Yuan. After Jin Shenghuan's main force returned from defeat, the morale of the Qing soldiers in the entire Nanchang City was very low. So much so that the infantry of the Dragon Guard Army almost didn't even put their guns, and after a few rounds of artillery salvos, the heavy cavalry charged in a line, and nearly 2,000 Qing troops collapsed.

Bai Yuanyi only brought a few personal soldiers and fled back to Nanchang in embarrassment. Since then, the Qing army has been confined to the city.

Taking advantage of this time, the Long Wei Army divided two companies of cavalry and ran around the counties near Nanchang. Everywhere he went, there were puppet officials who fled in despair, and in just a few days, seven counties near Nanchang Mansion were declared recovered.

It was not until mid-March that Yang Tinglin's army arrived late and set up camp fifteen miles west of Nanchang City.

However, although they walked slowly, they recovered the entire territory of Ji'an and Linjiang along the way, and divided a small group of men and horses to Yuanzhou and Ruizhou.

On the same day, Yang Tinglin brought Wan Yuanji, Zhao Yinxuan, Zhang An and others to the Longwei military camp to meet His Royal Highness the King of Chenzhou, and proposed to hold a banquet in Yang Tinglin's camp at noon the next day to celebrate his achievements.

Su Chengyu thought about it for a while, although Nanchang has not been conquered for the time being, it is not impossible to celebrate a little, at least it can improve the morale of the Ming army, as long as you are more vigilant, don't be taken advantage of by Jin Shenghuan to attack the camp.

So he nodded and said, "I will definitely go to the banquet tomorrow." ”
