Chapter 296: This Great Qing Pill Sooner or Later

West bank of the Qixiang River.

"Stop, stop, and immediately line up to meet the enemy!"

Jiangnan Admiral Yi Mian brandished his knife and kept roaring in the chaos.

He was the one who reinforced Qixia Fort.

But I didn't expect that Yaofangmen, Qixia Fort, Qixiashan Fort, Tangshanzhai, Shibu Bridge five places add up to more than 20,000 eight banners and green camps, he would be wiped out so quickly, he was a little late, but before he got out of Dongyang, the Qixia Fort guard inlaid with the blue flag Han army was the commander of Haining's urgent letter arrived, and then he hurriedly sent troops, and before the second urgent letter of Haining arrived over the Qixiang River, and then he just crossed the Qixiang River, Haining's third urgent letter arrived, but he was looking at the letter, and the rout of Haining and Qixia Fort arrived, And these routs like sheep also directly rushed the 10,000 green battalions under his subordinates.

Poor Yimian is stunned!

More than 20,000 troops didn't withstand half a day?

"Haining, why don't you die?"

Yi Mian looked at Hai Ning, who was coming with crooked armor and slanted armor, and roared angrily.

Haining didn't answer, just trembling and pointing back, Yi Mian hurriedly raised his head, and saw that behind the defeated defenders of Qixia Fort, countless black-clothed cavalry suddenly appeared, and these unarmored cavalrymen had an extra-long spear in their hands, and they were running wildly on the horse while constantly nailing those Eight Banners elite soldiers to the ground. On the flanks of these black-clothed cavalry, more soldiers wearing red clothes and holding shotguns with slender spikes in their hands also appeared, stopping from time to time to kneel down on one knee during the run, and then pulling the trigger on the Eight Banners elite soldiers in front of them.

"Bright, strike now!"

Yi Mian shouted at a general beside him.

The latter hurriedly urged the war horse, and rushed straight over with more than 2,000 horsemen of his subordinates, and Yimian formed the team at the fastest speed behind him, gathered those chaotic subordinates, and then lined up with his back to the Qixiang River.

This small river has been deliberately dredged, the width of the river is nearly ten zhang and the water depth is nearly five feet, and the newly built Dongyang City on the east bank is used as the second line of defense, but at this time it is too late to go back to defend the city, the enemy will follow behind to chase and kill, can only play a backwater battle, fortunately, Jurong's reinforcements are also coming, the same Zhenjiang's Fukangan is estimated to have been anxious at this time, as long as he can hold on to the west bank of the Qixiang River for an hour, it is estimated that the reinforcements of the armies will arrive one after another, he has 10,000 cavalry, and there are three or four thousand men and horses to collect Haining's rout, Why didn't you hold until reinforcements arrived?

But he soon learned that he really couldn't keep it.

Just as the cavalry led by Bright was about to engage the black-clad cavalry, the cavalry suddenly split to the sides, and a huge chariot drawn by eight horses rushed out.

A golden figure on the carriage stood proudly, and the next moment he rose into the air like a god, with a golden light that instantly fell on the cavalry of the Qing army, and then the giant Mo knife in his hand swept, and with a silver arc of light fell, the charging bright and the two cavalrymen beside him were cut off at the same time. The light of the giant Mo knife continued to shine, and with the sparkle of this light, countless stumps, severed arms, and blood splashed together, with a faintly visible blood mist, and the golden figure continued to move forward like a raging demon dragon towards the Qing cavalry, and the dead corpses of the Qing army continued to pile up everywhere they passed.

Behind him, both the black-clad cavalry and the red-clad infantry roared as if they had gone mad, surging forward like countless beasts.

Immediately after that, the cavalry of the Green Battalion began to rout without hesitation.

"Retreat, retreat!"

Yi Mian was like being poured with an ice bucket at this time, and the hot blood in that cavity disappeared in an instant, and he said with a trembling lip.

At this time, he found out that Haining had already run away.

"Kill, kill the demon!"

Yang Feng had a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, slashing frantically forward in the Qing army, and at the same time let out an exuberant roar.

Behind him, the Second Cavalry Brigade led by Xu Hui was like the Jinyi Guard Iron Cavalry in the late Ming Dynasty, lined up in a dense formation, holding Zhangba spears, crushing forward like moving walls, and all the Qing troops in front of them, whether cavalry or infantry, were all nailed to death by spears and stabbed to death by the straight-edged saber. At the same time, the artillery that followed also arrived, and under the protection of the infantry, they set up their cannons as quickly as possible, and began to shell the fleeing Qing army, and even those mortars were set up, and the Qing troops on the east bank of the Qixiang River were directly shelled with flowering shells.

Those hapless Qing soldiers screamed in terror, and were constantly squeezed into the chest-high river under the drive of Yang Feng and the Second Cavalry Brigade.

At this time, the second and third brigades of infantry that had been copied from both flanks joined the battlefield, and those Holy Sect soldiers lined up on the bank, easily and happily shooting targets with platoon guns, blood stained the river red, plus Yang Feng and cavalry squeezed from the front, all the Holy Sect troops formed a death pocket, and carried more than 10,000 Qing troops in it, and began to kill heartily.

Yi Mian, who relied on his own soldiers to cut a bloody path among his own people, finally rushed to the only arch bridge, and looked behind him without tears.

The Qing soldiers crowded and wailed in despair, slaughtering like pigs and sheep on a slaughterhouse.

But no one dared to turn back and fight.

At this moment, there was a strange whistling above his head, he raised his head in amazement, and then a bright firework exploded above his head, and countless bright sparks instantly flooded him like a torrential rain, and then the clothes on his body burned, Yi Mian screamed and rolled off the horse, and he was burned unconscious, instead of jumping into the river below, he kept rolling on the bridge deck, but fortunately, just two seconds later, a whistling solid cannonball ended his pain.

Only half an hour after Yi Mian's death, the remnants of the 5,000 Green Battalion and the Eight Banners on the West Bank all disarmed and surrendered.

At the same time, the Holy Sect army crossed the Qixiang River and had just fled to Haining, Dongyang City, and abandoned the city again as in Qixia Fort, and then Yang Feng captured the second fortress of the day, and also broke through the second line of defense of the Jiangnan camp on the periphery of Nanjing.

The last one left is Zhenjiang.

"Quick, get these all out of here!"

In Dongyang City, Yang Feng looked at the mountains of grain in front of him and said to an official who was transporting supplies to him.

This was the goal of his offensive to the east.

His strategic direction is not to the east, but to the west to attack the Taiping Mansion and then to the west to join Wang Cong'er, but before this he must first solve the food problem in Nanjing, before he has been relying on Nanjing's reserves, these reserves are on the verge of exhaustion after more than half a year of consumption, so he must come out first to grab grain, otherwise he has to let Xiaoqian solve this problem, and Zhenjiang is the largest logistics base of the Qing army, all the grain transported from the canal is hoarded in Zhenjiang, these grains are completely enough to ensure that Nanjing supports another half a year, That's why he attacked east first.

"Immortal Venerable, General Wei of the Qing Demon Water Division sent people to say that they would not dare to be enemies with Xianzun, but their wives and children would not dare to surrender under the rule of the Qing Demon, so they would not land on the river if they were just cruising on the river."

Han Lin, the defender, dismounted in front of him and said.

"Hmph, these wall grass!"

Yang Feng said with a sneer.

Obviously, his brilliant victory has made the green battalion begin to have other thoughts, the Yangtze River Sailor These guys are already engaged in smuggling and are very happy, and there is also a little connection with him, the green battalion is not loyal in these years, his second cavalry brigade is almost all adapted from the green battalion, not only the Yangtze River Sailor, in fact, there are also many green battalions stationed in the periphery to maintain business contacts with the city, and now seeing that he is so powerful, then it is not strange to have a little other thoughts.

"Tell them not to mess with us, we won't be interested in caring about them."

Yang Feng then said.

"So is Qixia Fort garrisoned?"

Han Lin asked.

They have a total of three brigades, and then they will attack Zhenjiang, if they stay to garrison along the line, then the strength will be insufficient, but if they do not leave the garrison, then the Qing army attacking from Jurong and Lishui will be possible to reoccupy Qixiabao and Dongyang City, so that the logistics line of the second town will be cut off.

"No, leave all the dead bodies of the Qing Demon in place, I want to see who dares to take these two places again."

Yang Feng said.

Because it won't take too much time for him to break through Zhenjiang, as long as he brings enough ammunition for a base, there is no need for logistical supplies at all, and he won't move forward after he conquers Zhenjiang, if anyone dares to recapture Qixia Fort and Dongyang City, then he will come back to teach them how to behave, and leaving all the dead bodies of the Qing army on the battlefield is to warn those green battalions who counterattack, there are more than 10,000 dead corpses, and they will know that what has the master cannot be touched.

And it turned out to be exactly what he expected.

Immediately after that, Jurong's 10,000 green battalions arrived at Qixia Fort, but more than 10,000 corpses of the Eight Banners and the dead corpses of the green battalion on the battlefield, as well as the cries of the remnants of the defeated generals who fled into Tangshan, made the Jiangxi governor who led the troops immediately sober up, and without hesitation led the army to retreat to the original Tangshan Village to wait for reinforcements.

Although in reality no one attacked them.

These people are very smart, as far as the current situation is concerned, they have to think about their own back road, after all, they are not banner people, even if they have to fight the demon in order to protect their land, but at least they have to really defend their own land, they are the green camp of Jiangxi, which land to defend in Jiangning? If there is hope to block that demon in Jiangning City, it is okay to say, but now this is obviously impossible, then their best choice is to preserve their strength and wait and see what happens, if it really can't work, they will run home to guard Jiangxi.

Anyway, that's all there is to it.

Even if there is no demon now, this Qing Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty of the past.

As far as the Eight Banners behaved so badly on the battlefield, do they still need to be afraid of any Qing Emperor?

It is said that on the battlefield in Anhui, Henan and other places, even those landlords' regimental training can be fought better than the Eight Banners, and this world is no longer the one that the flag people can say.
