In the morning, when the first morning light appeared in the east, the entire Jiujiang City woke up from its sleep.

Some people pushed open the courtyard door and poured the toilet down, and began to calculate the day's vegetables, rice, oil and salt.

After Jiujiang was occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at first, in order to settle his men, Azig ordered most of the people in the city to be driven away, and later after the Eight Banners left Jiujiang, the original people returned to their homes one after another.

For the Qing soldiers, without the people, Jiujiang is a dead city, and they will not be able to exploit it, so the leaders of the Eight Banners and the generals of the Green Battalion who guard Jiujiang will let it go.

Jiujiang City has gradually regained some popularity.

The industrious people got up at dawn, but the Qing army camp in the city was still silent, and most of the soldiers were still asleep.

Azig went to Wuhu with the vast majority of his army, and Jiujiang became a large rear. There is no need to fight, only the city needs to be guarded, which makes the always lazy green battalion soldiers even more lazy.

Outside the city gate, some people with carts have gathered, most of them vegetable farmers who have come to the city to sell vegetables. The city has changed owners, ordinary people still have to live, and the vegetables grown in the fields can only be sold at a good price when they go to the city. So no matter how fierce the Mantars were, no matter how shameless the green battalion soldiers were, they had to enter the city. In fact, the military discipline of the Ming army when it was stationed in Jiujiang was not much better.

It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that the green battalion soldiers guarding the gate yawned and opened the city gate, and the people gathered outside the city poured into the city gate.

"Fuck me all line up for Lao Tzu and enter the city one by one!" The green battalion guarding the gate always shook the horsewhip and smoked it, scolding and scolding.

It's all some farmers who go to the city to buy vegetables and deliver firewood, and they don't have any fucking oil and water.

If only there were a caravan, the Green Camp thought to him. At this moment, he suddenly saw a convoy of chariots and horses appear from the south, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Mr. General, is it an enemy army?" One of his subordinates said timidly, because the chariots and horses in the distance were very large.

Enemy? I was always surprised, I can't do it, the nearby Ming army has long been robbed or driven away, and most of them have been reorganized into the green battalion with Zuo Mengeng's surrender of the Qing army, and the green battalion soldiers in Jiujiang are the former Ming army. As for the thieves, they had already been defeated by the Eight Banners, and they fled in embarrassment, I heard that even Li Zicheng was dead, where did he still have the ability and courage to attack Jiujiang?

However, as an officer guarding the gate, he had the duty to guard the gate, and out of caution, he asked his men to close the gate first. But the people who were about to enter the city did not do it, and they were noisy and blocked in the gates.

"Are you going to rebel?" The general was furious and pulled out his waist knife at once.

"The total lord, it seems that the brother who fetched food is back!" At this moment, the sharp-eyed guards at the head of the city had already seen the banner of the chariot and horse in the distance.

"These bastards scared Lao Tzu!" Put the scolding knife back into its sheath.

"Look at what, a group of turtles, hurry up and let Lao Tzu get into the city, hurry up!" Angrily scolding at the people who were about to enter the city, the boss waved his hand and stopped checking.

The brothers who fetched food were about to enter the city, and they couldn't let these turtles block the city gates.

More than 200,000 Qing troops gathered in Wuhu, and nearly 10,000 quintals of grain were consumed every day. Several counties south of Jiujiang have changed the banner of the Qing Dynasty, but many people in the countryside do not know that the world has changed, and many squires do not cooperate at all.

The chariots and horses in the distance were getting closer and closer, and the green military flag fluttered over the team, and the soldiers of the team were wearing uniforms of the same color as themselves, and the commander of the army let out a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. As long as the brother who fetches food can get food, he will not worry about hunger.

"Hey! Whose subordinates are you, and who are your generals? ”

The carts and horses full of grain drove past one after another, entered the city gate, and looked at the unfamiliar faces of the green battalion soldiers passing by, the green battalion commander finally couldn't help it and asked loudly.

"We'll be in the back, and we'll be there soon." The Green Battalion soldier replied, but entered the city gate without twisting his head.

Why is the official speech of the green battalion soldiers so awkward, revealing a smell of northern earth, the green battalion always ponders.

"You're looking for me?" A smiling voice rang in his ears, and he saw a grinning Green Battalion officer standing in front of him.

"What is this brother's name, why is he so angry?" The general of the green battalion asked in surprise, more than 10,000 soldiers of the green battalion in Jiujiang are all subordinates of the chief soldier Xu Yuxian, and he knows most of the officers above the general level, even if he doesn't know him, he will be familiar, but the person in front of him is so unfamiliar.

"Under Liu Neng, the deputy general under the command of Daming Ping Nanhou." Liu Neng said with a grin. In order to ensure the success of the sneak attack on Jiujiang and to completely block the retreat of the Manchu Tartars, Liu Neng asked Hao Shaoqi to personally lead the vanguard of the green battalion grain collection team to be responsible for opening the city gate.

"Liu Neng, Daming Ping Nanhou!" The Green Battalion General was shocked, and when he wanted to draw the knife, he felt a chill in his chest and abdomen, and a sharp short knife pierced his clothes against his body.

Feeling the slight stinging pain in his waist and abdomen, he was always scared, and as long as the other party used a slight force, the knife would stab into his body.

"Be honest and cooperative, as long as you are obedient, you can live." Liu Neng said with a smile, grabbed the shoulders of the general, and the two of them stood on the side of the road with their shoulders hooked, looking at the other soldiers guarding the city as if they were two friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

The team drove into the city one after another, passed through the urn city and entered Jiujiang, looking at the urn city gate in front of him, Liu Neng was secretly shocked, it was the two city gates inside and outside the urn city, if it was attacked, I don't know how many soldiers would be lost.

When a grain truck passed the city gate of the urn city, it suddenly "creaked", the axle was broken, and the whole convoy was suddenly stuck inside and outside the city gate.

"The enemy is coming!" At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation at the head of the city, and a huge army was rapidly approaching in the distance, and at the forefront was a fast cavalry.

The main force of the Qing army is in Wuhu, and there is no such large-scale army in the south of the city, so there must be an enemy army.

Just when the green battalion soldiers in the city were panicking, the soldiers of the grain requisition army who had just entered the city suddenly burst out, pulled out all kinds of weapons from the grain cart, and killed them towards the city.

In order to avoid the suspicion of the Qing army, the vanguard of this fraudulent city led by Liu Neng only had more than 500 people, but they were all the most elite soldiers under Hao Shaoqi. There are more than 2,000 green battalion soldiers guarding the south gate, but most of the soldiers are in the barracks in the city, and there are more than 500 guards who are really on duty in the city, led by the general who was captured by Liu Neng. Because there was no war in Jiujiang at all, there was no need for so many soldiers to guard the city gate at all times.

'My own people' suddenly broke out, and the green battalion soldiers defending the city were suddenly killed by surprise.

Liu Neng stabbed the general in the stomach with a knife, kicked him away with a flying kick, and commanded the soldiers to capture the city gate.

The west gate of the Jiujiang River was suddenly in chaos, which immediately caused the entire city to commotion, "The enemy army has come in!" The cries are endless.

Xu Yuxian, the chief soldier of the green battalion, pushed away the concubine wrapped around his body, and as soon as he put on his pants, a family member broke in.

"General, a large number of troops have come in and have broken through the West Gate, what should we do?"

"Is it the Ming army or the thief?" Xu Yuxian hurriedly draped it on his body and asked hurriedly.

"The subordinates don't know?" The guy said embarrassedly.

"Waste, quickly notify your brothers to assemble, escape, no, exit Jiujiang." Xu Yuxian ordered.

"Ahh The guy stammered.

"Ahh Xu Yuxian scolded. The enemy army has broken through the city gate, this Jiujiang City can't be defended, or the thirty-six plans are the best plan!

Xu Yuxian, the commander of the green battalion who defended the city, had no fighting spirit and wanted to abandon the city and flee. Melle, the leader of the Eight Banners, had no intention of escaping, and when he heard about the enemy, he immediately summoned his soldiers to assemble.

There is no war in Jiujiang, there is no enemy in the vicinity, even the Eight Banners are inevitably slack, and the flowers and rich women of the Ming Dynasty make them sink quickly. The drudgery of collecting grain and grass and guarding the city gates naturally had to be left to the Green Battalion soldiers, and Melle and his five hundred men enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Yes, in order to attack the Ming Dynasty, Azig only left five hundred people in Jiujiang to garrison, because in the eyes of him and all the Eight Banner generals, one Eight Banner soldier can fight a hundred Ming troops, and five hundred Eight Banner warriors are enough to deal with any situation.

This is arrogant, but the past achievements of the Eight Banners have proved that the Ming army is vulnerable, but today they are doomed to miscalculate, and they will have to pay a heavy price for their arrogance.

Liu Neng commanded the vanguard to disperse the green camp defending the city, Hao Shaoqi personally led two thousand cavalry to quickly approach the city gate, and eight thousand infantry rushed to follow. Of course, it is impossible for Hao Shaoqi's men to have so many war horses, and the so-called cavalry is just horses, mules and even donkeys in the army, which can barely be ridden, in order to save the physical strength of the soldiers.

Liu Neng had already commanded his subordinates to move away the grain trucks blocking the city gate, and Hao Shaoqi led his troops straight into Jiujiang City. The soldiers disembarked from their mules and horses, regrouped in formation, and headed for the city, where they were met by the 508 bannermen commanded by Melle.

Melle's Eight Banners are also infantry, and the city is not suitable for cavalry galloping, and not all Eight Banners are cavalry, and the Eight Banners are better at foot combat.

As soon as the two sides approached the street, they entered a state of intense fighting, with firearms and arrows fired at each other without killing, and soldiers fell to the ground at every moment.

Originally, everyone in the Eight Banners wore thick armor when they were in battle, and the arrows did little damage to them, but now the weather is very hot, and there is no war in Jiujiang, so no one is willing to wear armor anymore. The Shun army came too suddenly, and the Eight Banners were scattered inside and outside the Yamen of the Jiujiang Prefect, and they had no time to put on their armor when they were hastily assembled. And the two thousand elite Shun soldiers who followed Hao Shaoqi, everyone wore at least one piece of armor, although it was simple cloth armor and leather armor.

In this battle, Melle, the leader of the Eight Banners, was shocked to find that the Eight Banners warriors could not gain the upper hand, and many warriors screamed and fell under the enemy's firearms and arrows. Perhaps a single force Shun army was no match for the Eight Banners, but the advantage in numbers and the strict queue made them not show weakness in the face of the Mantars.

"Kill!" Melle roared in rage, brandishing his broadsword and slashing at the enemy ranks. The two sides finally came to an end, and the whole street was full of fighting.

Hao Shaoqi stood behind the formation and calmly commanded, with tens of thousands of troops in his hands, he no longer liked to lead the team to charge into battle as before.

And most of the two thousand people are elites who have followed him for a long time, trained according to the training methods in the Xishan Army, and the coordination of the array is very skillful, and there is no need for him, the commander, to take the lead in the fight.

Melle roared again and again, the mace danced wildly, completely ignoring himself, and smashed several spears one after another and rushed into the Shun army array, and under his leadership, the Eight Banners also roared and rushed into the Shun army array. The two sides fought each other, and at every moment someone was killed and lay in a pool of blood.

Liu Neng led the vanguard to kill the Qing army defending the city, completely occupied the west gate and the west side of the city wall, looked at the scorching occupation on the street not far away, left a hundred people to defend the city, and took the remaining four hundred people from a small alley to the back of the Eight Banners.

There is no need to doubt the bravery and good fighting of the Eight Banners, and at this time, the Eight Banners have just entered the customs and have not had time to corrupt and deteriorate, which is the time when the combat power is the strongest, although the number is much smaller than that of the Shun army, although the armor is not complete, but the long-term victory makes them very arrogant and morale is extremely high.

Although some people fell in pools of blood from time to time, others fought to the death, and less than 508 banners actually killed the elite of the Shun army and retreated.

Hao Shaoqi frowned, and was about to consider whether to fight in person, when Liu Neng led his troops to suddenly appear behind the Eight Banners and killed the Eight Banners from behind.

Suffering from the enemy on the back of the abdomen, the Eight Banners couldn't hold it all at once, many people looked around in panic, some people continued to fight forward, some people wanted to turn back to resist the enemy soldiers behind, and Melle personally killed on the front line in order to break the formation, and was fighting with the soldiers of the Shun Army in front, and he couldn't command at all.

There were Shun troops on all sides, and the Eight Banners had completely fallen into a heavy siege, and countless swords and guns were raised and waved towards the invaders.....

"Hahaha, it's really fun to kill!" Wiped the long knife on the corpse of a Eight Banner soldier and inserted it into the scabbard, Liu Neng looked up to the sky and laughed, and the laughter was extremely cheerful.

For a long time, he either did not collect reconnaissance of the enemy situation at night, or served as a Jinyi guard, and after leaving the Jinyi guard, he was in charge of the enemy intelligence department, and it was rare to have this kind of frontal fight with the enemy, knife to knife, gun to gun. This kind of heartiness makes him very happy.

All the 500 and 8 Banner soldiers were killed, the leader Melle was killed by the indiscriminate guns, and the Shun army also paid a heavy price, and the number of dead and wounded was almost equal to that of the Eight Banner soldiers.

Although there were many casualties, Hao Shaoqi was in an incomparable mood Su Chang, this was a victory over the Manchurians, defeating the Qing army and capturing a big city, in the case of successive defeats, the loss of all the territory, and the death of the emperor, it was enough to boost the morale of all the soldiers of the Shun army.

After this battle, his position in the Shun army will be extremely stable, and the 80,000 defeated soldiers of the Shun army who were forcibly collected will also return to their hearts. This made Hao Shaoqi feel extremely happy Su Chang!
