Chapter 483: Jianyu's Combat Power Assessment
The temporary military meeting lasted until late at night, and almost all the details of the operation had been discussed repeatedly, and the plan for the Jurong ambush was finally finalized.
Zhu Linmiao rubbed his sore shoulders, and suddenly remembered several other people, so he instructed Zhang Jiayu, "Yuanzi, let people contact Zhang Huangyan and Chen Bangyan, and ask them to seize the fighter and act cheaply." ”
"Yes. The subordinates immediately sent someone. ”
At this moment, outside the gate of the Dragon Guard Army's camp, a patrol soldier was holding the duck soup that had been cold and clumpy, and whispered to himself with an embarrassed expression, "Why hasn't Miss Zilu come back, does she want this jar?"
A group of Qing soldiers and horses were trotting forward in an irregular formation, and the riverside at the end of September was hot and humid, and the soldiers almost took off their clothes and put them on their shoulders, and they were so tired that they bared their teeth.
"General, Lishui County is not far ahead." An officer wiped away the sweat and said to Guo Hu, "It is said that the county seat has been captured by the southerners, should we set up camp here first, and send a horse to explore the truth before leaving?"
"What kind of camp" Guo Hu said angrily, "Don't you know Zhang Tianlu's guy, fighting like a mad dog, grabbing war merits at the expense of tearing your face." ”
He roared to the soldiers around him, "Everyone hurry up, everyone will be rewarded when they arrive in Jiangning" and turned to the officer, "The day before yesterday, someone came to report, indicating that the army company camp is more than ten miles, building earthen fortresses and watchtowers day and night, and the cannons are bombarding non-stop, where is there time to manage Lishui County."
"I think they captured the county seat before mostly to grab grain and grass."
He was analyzing the enemy's situation "with his own people", when he suddenly heard a burst of trumpets on both sides, and the mount under his crotch suddenly stood up in shock.
Immediately, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was heard from the eastern hillside, and more than a thousand cavalrymen swept down like a wind with reed wheels and firearms.
The captives were hurrying away, and Mo said that they were in formation, and they didn't even find their swords and guns for a while.
The hussars of the Dragon Guard Army passed through the sparse captives, and the short guns in their hands were fired at random, which immediately caused chaos in the Qing army.
Under the pressure of the cavalry, Guo Hu had to desperately gather his men and horses and retreat to the west. Before he could get out of half a mile, he was stopped by a Ming army, and the fire flashed in the array, and the front row of captives suddenly overturned hundreds of people.
At this moment, nearly a thousand cavalry galloped from behind the Qing army
The battle ended quickly. More than 10,000 people in Guo Hu's department were quickly cut into seven or eight pieces under defenselessness, and then collapsed in an instant under the fierce firepower, and most of them fled towards the unhindered north.
Zhao Shichao immediately led the cavalry in close pursuit, and Gan Hui led the infantry to gather the prisoners, and the 4,500 Ming troops cooperated tacitly and efficiently.
By the time of dinner, all the more than 6,000 soldiers had been escorted to Lishui County, but there were not enough cells in the county town at all, until the county government and the inspection department were filled, and Guo Hu's men and horses were "settled".
At the same time, Zhang Huangyan and Deng Shan were chatting, watching more than a dozen cannons not far away take turns tearing the city wall of Hangzhou.
Hong Chengchou believed that the main force of the Ming army was in Nanjing, and not only transferred Huang Ding and others who besieged Pinghu, but also transferred Chen Taibu, who was originally guarding Hangzhou, to Wuxi, and there were less than 2,000 green battalion soldiers left in Hangzhou.
After Zhang Huangyan received the order of His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King to "act cheaply", he immediately surrounded Hangzhou with more than 4,000 horses from Pinghu City.
The Qing army stationed in Hangzhou wanted to go out of the city at first, after all, the Zhejiang army had always been vulnerable in front of them in the past. However, this time there were 1,000 broken camps in Dengshan, and Zhang Huangyan was also considered to be the most powerful combat effectiveness among the old-fashioned Ming army, so he annihilated nearly half of the Hangzhou defenders at that time, and the rest hurriedly closed the city gate and did not dare to be arrogant.
Later, Zhang Huangyan transported the ships of Pinghu City with cannons in ox carts, and spent more than ten days moving them to the vicinity of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and then transported them along the river to the city of Hangzhou, and began to bombard Hangzhou.
There were two or three thousand Qing troops stationed in nearby Jiaxing, Haining, Dexing and other places, and they had to rush to reinforcements in response to Hangzhou's emergency, but they were ambushed one after another.
Zhang Huangyan is a close student of the auxiliary political king, and he also played a "siege point to help" near Hangzhou.
"I really don't know what that old thing is capable of, so that the Nine Princes trust him so much, and put the entire Jiangnan war in his hands" Luck stood at the head of Jiangyin City, and said indignantly, "It's just a Nikan, and I love the descendants of Xinjueluo and have to listen to him."
There was a shout of soldiers training from the city, and he followed the sound of the city's foot soldiers phalanx, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
These foot soldiers, each wearing refined cotton armor, carried the latest eleven coins flint
Between the guns were spearmen with two-foot spears, and their armor was covered with a layer of scale armor on the basis of the guns, and it was extremely difficult to shoot through the previous three-coin guns even if they were thirty paces apart.
These gunners and spearmen were all lined up in five rows and ten columns, and the squads were connected from end to end, forming a large formation more than half a mile long. The blades and steel blades in the formation flashed, the firearms were numerous, the orders were unified, and the formation was strictly organized, and at a glance it was clear that this was a division of tigers and wolves.
This is the elite Zhenghongqi firearms battalion that Dolgon poured nearly one million taels of silver into the construction of weapons and armor, and trained with a new type of battle formation taught by Gao Xiang and the Rakshasas. There were more than 20,000 people in total, and it was the "secret weapon" used by Dolgon to restrain the Ming army's firearms troops.
"If I am allowed to lead the army, I will bypass the Qiantang River, take Shaoxing first, and then kill all the way to Fujian. With the elite combat power of my Jianzhou, if those southern barbarian soldiers dare to come to meet the battle, they will definitely be wiped out in an instant."
Luckedhun immediately remembered the situation not long ago when the "Ming Army" disguised as the new firearms training battalion and the green battalion conducted a military exercise.
According to Gao Xiang's description, the 2,000 green battalions were all armed with six-dollar flint guns, and in the face of the 1,500 Red Banner Firearms Battalion, it only took a cup of tea to fall apart.
In the ensuing firefight, the firearms battalion relied on a large number of vehicles and armor on its body, and was almost unscathed. Although the "Ming Army" was also equipped with cotton armor, it was like paper paste in front of the eleventh money firecracker, and the firearms battalion could knock down a large piece of "enemy army" every time it fired a firearm.
When the two armies engage in a white-handed battle, because the "Ming army" is all guns, it will be simply vulnerable. The gunners of the firearms battalion did not even take off the short spears behind their backs, and the spearmen alone poked all the "Ming troops" over.
The deputy general next to him, Babutai, hurriedly echoed, "No, in the past, my Jianzhou warriors alone could be worth three or four Nikan soldiers, and now with this elite firearms battalion, I am afraid that ten southerners are not opponents."
