When these White Fangs joined the new force, the battle for the head of the city changed. Little by little, the situation of the war developed in a direction unfavorable to the Ming army.

Seeing this, Jin Shenghuan knew that the general trend was gone, and it was only a matter of time before his defense line collapsed. Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuan looked at the direction of his own house in the city, and wondered if his son Jin Daoming could escape with his two grandchildren.

After a night of hard fighting, the Ming army suffered heavy losses, and Jin Shenghuan was sad to see the old brothers who had followed him for many years dying. Anyway, it's already like this, the family has already arranged it, and it's better for me to make a decision, and it is better to die if the province falls into the hands of the Qing army.

Thinking of this, Jin Shenghuan was about to wipe his neck with a knife, and just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by the pro-soldiers on the side.

"Dashuai, what do you see over there?"

Jin Shenghuan looked in the direction pointed by his own soldiers, and faintly heard the sound of drums.

Now that the sky is bright, the solar term is late autumn, so there is a lot of fog in the morning. The entire area around Nanchang was shrouded in a thick fog, and there was no human figure to be seen for a mile.

Although there was no human figure in sight, the sound of drums and bugles could be heard. Jin Shenghuan was overjoyed when he heard it, this special drum sound was made by the small drum of the Guangdong New Army, and it seemed that reinforcements had arrived.

Probably the Qing army outside the city also got the news, the Qing army that had already gained the upper hand on the city wall retreated one after another, and the exhausted Ming army saw the Qing army retreating, and one by one they didn't even have the strength to cheer, and sat on the ground panting.

He Luohui was about to win, but he didn't know why Tan Tai sent someone to inform him to retreat. He Luohui, who was covered in blood, returned to the camp, saw Tan Tai and asked, "General, I am about to occupy Deshengmen, why let me come down!" ”

Tan Taitie blushed and said: "The news came just now that the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry in Kundu didn't know who they were defeated, and the whole army was wiped out, and less than 2,000 people ran back!" ”

He Luo will be surprised, the cavalry of 50,000 people will be gone if they say no? Who is the other party?

"General, Kundu is so drunk and greedy, it can't be that he drank too much false information!"

Tan Tai shook his head, "Kundu is good wine, but I believe that he won't be ignorant of this kind of big thing!" Don't make up your mind now, the ten kings also know the news and are gathering generals in the big tent, let's go quickly! ”

He Luo will follow Tan Tai to Duoduo's big tent, and the news of the peripheral failure will have a great impact on Duoduo, and his already gray face is like white paper. At this time, Duoduo was asking a Mongol commander who had fled back to the front, and it was he who had brought back the news of Kundu's failure.

The war was not going well, and Duoduo was also very anxious, and he forced his body and asked, "Tell me what's going on!" Why did 50,000 horses lose all of them in less than an hour! And what about Kundu? ”

The commander said tremblingly: "Returning to His Royal Highness the Ten Kings, after receiving the military order, our Mongols were stationed in Shengmidu, fifteen miles away from Nanchang under the leadership of the commander of Kundu, and there was no situation in the middle of the night, so the commander of Kundu called a few commanders to drink with him. But when it was almost dawn, a thousand-man squad who had gone out on patrol came back to report that there were signs of a large number of troops marching, and the commander of Kundu took all the men and horses with the strength of wine to prepare for a victory

Thinking that at the Shengmi Ferry, the Ming warships rushed out in the fog, and their artillery was very powerful, and each shot could knock down more than a dozen of our soldiers. The commander of Kundu originally wanted to take advantage of the Ming army's unstable foothold to eliminate them, but he didn't expect to be hit by the Ming army's artillery by the river, and there were no bones! The other brothers ran away when they saw that they couldn't fight, and the villain was deeply favored by the emperor and came back to report to the ten kings! ”

When Duoduo and the generals in the tent heard this, they were relieved, and it turned out that the 50,000 horses in Kundu were not completely annihilated, but scattered. The Manchu generals all know what these Mongols are, and the current Mongol army is not as capable of fighting as their ancestor Genghis Khan, so they are stronger in riding and archery, and the battlefield fighting may not be as good as the Han army flag. Therefore, everyone thought that the 50,000 Mongols were taken by surprise by the Ming army, and the birds and beasts were scattered after the death of Kundu, who commanded the army.

Duoduo relieved himself and then asked, "Do you see clearly the Ming army on the other side?" Under what banner? ”

"At that time, it was dark, and there was a heavy fog on the river, the villain really didn't see it clearly, but he saw that the river was full of warships, and the largest ones were as high as the Nanchang city wall!"

As soon as these words came out, Duoduo's heart moved, could it be that the Guangdong Ming Army Sailor came? As a high-ranking member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he knew that in the great battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River that year, hundreds of Qing warships could not deal with the five sea ships of the Ming army, and he was also shot at close range in Jiangyin, killing a prince and a Baylor. At that time, the big ship was the kind of big ship with the same height as the city wall, could it be that this time it came to Nanchang from the Yangtze River?

Duoduo thought about it, it was impossible, the mouth of the Yangtze River was thousands of miles away from Nanchang, and there were areas controlled by the Qing army along the way, so it was impossible to hit the door and he hadn't received the news yet. What's more, that kind of big sea ship has a deep draft, and it can still sail on the Yangtze River, and it can't move at all when it enters the Poyang Lake water system. Duoduo thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with it, so he simply didn't want to, it was better to fight than to think about anything, and now the Nanchang war is at a critical moment, if he doesn't eliminate the external danger of the Ming army's reinforcements, he will be in a situation where he will be in the situation of suffering from the enemy on his back.

While Duoduo was pondering, the herald from outside came to report that a large number of troops wearing strange clothes were found five miles outside the Yonghe Gate, under the banner of the Ming army.

Duoduo was overjoyed when he heard the herald say this, he was afraid that the Ming army would rely on the firepower of the giant ship on the riverside, so that his side would not be easy to deal with, and it was very likely that the Ming army in Nanchang City would break through successfully. But I didn't expect that the general of the Ming army on the other side didn't know what was wrong, and he abandoned the boat and landed on the shore, wanting to have a field battle with himself.

"How many Ming troops are there on the other side?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Ten Kings, the fog has not yet cleared, and I can't see it clearly, but I can't see 20,000 people at present!"

When the generals in the camp heard this, there were only 20,000 people, and they couldn't help but clamour.

"Your Highness, there are only 20,000 people, please give the last general 20,000 horses, and the last general will go to get the head of the Ming general!"

"Your Highness, just give me 10,000 people!"

Seeing that the generals were about to fight, Duoduo waved his hand to stop the hustle and bustle.

"Tan Tai, you lead He Luohui and other generals to surround Nanchang, don't let the Ming army in the city rush out and let my army suffer from the enemy! I will personally deal with the Ming army outside the city! ”

As soon as Tan Tai heard that Duoduo was going to do it himself, he hurriedly asked: "Ten kings, let's let the last general go for this kind of trivial matter, your body... ”

Duoduo smiled and said: "I don't think my body is good, after the battle of Nanchang, I will hand over the army to you, I will go back to Beijing to recuperate, and this battle will be mine."

Let's end the battle! ”

Tan Tai couldn't help but clench his fists and agree. Duoduo did not mobilize the besieging army, but only brought the elite 20,000 taels of white flags in the reserve and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and 10,000 Han army flags, which in Duoduo's eyes was completely able to deal with the 20,000 Ming troops in Guangdong.

By the time Duoduo was ready, that is, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning of the later generations (the ancient hours said that the effort was counted, and the future will be counted as twenty-four hours in the future), the sun rose at this time, and the fog outside Nanchang City had dissipated. The Ming army and the Qing army outside the city could see the Guangdong Ming army standing five miles outside the Yonghe Gate.

The Ming army in Guangdong was less than 20,000 men, lined up in sixteen squares, each with five musketeers in front and artillery units not far behind. Now the shape of the Ming army has been unfolded, and the red and blue military uniforms on the body are very beautiful under the morning sun.

The arrival of reinforcements boosted the morale of the defenders in Nanchang City, and the Qing army stopped attacking the city, and the civilian officials who did not have the task of defending the city ran to Yonghe Gate to watch, and even Jin Shenghuan, the commander of Deshengmen, also came.

Jiang Yueguang, the governor of Huguang, was watching the excitement, but he didn't expect Jin Shenghuan to come, so he hurriedly asked, "King Jun, why are you here?" What should I do over there at Deshengmen? ”

"Don't worry, Lord Jiang, I have already explained to the deputy general over there, and now all the attention of the Qing army is on the new army in Guangdong, and it will not attack the city!"

"In that case, should we send troops out to meet the reinforcements?"

Hearing that Jiang Yueguang asked him to go out to respond, Jin Shenghuan hurriedly shook his head, the five thousand cavalry that he had easily saved up last time went out of the city and didn't even stir up a wave, how dare he go out of the city now!

"Lord Jiang must not, the Tartar thief chief Duoduo is very cunning, he must think that our army can go out of the city to respond, he must set up a trap outside the city, it is better not to go out of the city!"

Jiang Yueguang thought about it, he saw the cavalry duel half a month ago, but the reinforcements outside the city were close at hand, and it was not good not to go out.

"King Jun, what do you say the new army of Guangdong can win!"

This sentence is the right person, Jin Shenghuan has suffered a big loss from the Guangdong New Army in Ganzhou, but Jin Shenghuan doesn't want to mention that kind of embarrassing thing, and now he has to say when he hears Jiang Yueguang ask this: "Xiao Wang estimates the number of wins and losses, if the Qing army only has tens of thousands of people, the Guangdong New Army can win sharply with firearms, but now the Qing army on the opposite side has more than 100,000 people, and the Guangdong New Army has less than 20,000 people, so the last general is not optimistic about the Guangdong New Army!" ”

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren's subordinates were both defeated generals of the Guangdong New Army, and they also nodded their heads in agreement with their commanders, and they were not optimistic that the New Army would win.

Jiang Yueguang saw that his side did not have any hope of victory, and the joy of the arrival of reinforcements in his heart was gone. Didn't Zhang Jiayu's letter say that there were 50,000 troops? How come there are less than 20,000 people? And Zhang Jiayu didn't say that he could rush to Nanchang on the 15th, why did he arrive on the 21st today?

Just when Jiang Yueguang was complaining in the city, Zhang Jiayu on the hill outside the city was not in a good mood, he was a civilian official and did not understand the combat effectiveness of the Guangdong New Army. In Zhang Jiayu's plan, he was ready to rely on several small gunboats he had built in Ganzhou, and then open a gap in the Nanchang Water Gate to allow reinforcements to enter the city, as long as the communication lines on the Ganjiang River continued, the Manchu siege of Nanchang was doomed to failure. But I didn't expect Ma Kun and Ma Rufeng to be full of confidence, and they were ready to have a dignified duel with the world-famous Eight Banners outside the city.
