Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 569
Sun Shoufa is now under the control of Jiangxi Governor Wanji. He can't make the decision whether to ambush him or not. He can only speak on behalf of the generals.

After he finished speaking, he cast his eyes on Wanji, but Wanji fell silent. There was a [-]% chance of winning, so it was a gamble.

After all, it is a field battle. Although there are only 1 Eight Banners cavalry, their deterrence is still very strong. Wanji's strategy for managing Jiangxi is just two words "seek stability".

Since he was ordered to join the governor of Jiangxi in the early years of Longwu, he has been held down and beaten by the Qing soldiers. He deeply knows that the current situation in Jiangxi is hard-won, and he cannot lose all these possessions in a single battle.

"Brother Ji Ren, our previous plan was to lure the Qing soldiers into the hinterland, encircle and wipe them out, and now is the right time. There is no guarantee in a war, and the risk must be taken." Jiang Riguang said beside him.

Seeing Jiang Riguang's support, Wanji saw that the Wanqing soldiers had already entered his mouth, so there was no reason not to eat it, and he had to stuff it into his mouth even if he knocked his teeth, otherwise he was really unwilling, so he immediately ordered solemnly: "Okay, The governor decided to adopt the law-abiding strategy and carry out an ambush. Now the law-abiding person can immediately send someone to find out the terrain near Huimin Bridge and find the location of the ambush, and the governor will send someone to notify Jindu Town. Rush to the battlefield as quickly as possible, outflanking Man Dahai."

Immediately, the Ming army outside Jinxian City began to pull out their camps, and the whole army moved to the west bank of Xinjiang River.

After Wang Deren gave up Raozhou, he retreated to Yuping County. Liu Zhiyuan chased after him, and he abandoned the city again. This made Liu Zhiyuan, an old man who had followed the Qing Dynasty for many years, finally find the pleasure of being invincible when he entered the customs.

Wang Yan is an anomaly. The current situation should be the normal state of the Ming army. Liu Zhiyuan and others suddenly felt like they had eaten a tiger's whip, biting Wang Deren and continuing to chase fiercely. They felt like they were going to win Nanchang with 1 troops. .

A group of Green Battalion soldiers were also mobilized by the Lord of the Eight Banners, and the journey was extremely smooth. They didn't meet decent resistance, and they became more courageous when they saw it. They screamed and wanted to break into Nanchang.

On the ninth day of July, after detailed reconnaissance, Wanji ordered Sun Shoufa to lead his troops, Hu Yiqing, Zhao Yinxuan, Li Shiyuan and others, with gunpowder and arrows, to enter the location after the reconnaissance to ambush.

At the same time, Wang Deren's troops, who had run all the way, stopped retreating after passing the Huimin Bridge.

Almost sticking to the tail of Wang Deren's troops, Liu Zhiyuan led 1 people to the Huimin Bridge. It can be seen that the Qing soldiers were eager to fight, and they must eat this Ming army that ran faster than rabbits.

Wang Deren was born as a bandit, and this word of "flow" points out its characteristics.During the reign of Chongzhen, the government and army spread their nets on all sides and encircled and suppressed them on all sides. They could not flow, and those who ran were basically reincarnated. Wang Deren's ability to live until now is the key to being good at running.

Riding on horseback at the head of the bridge, Liu Zhiyuan looked at the other side and there was no one there, and couldn't help cursing in his heart. He was chasing under the scorching sun, and then came to nothing, really annoyed.

The war horse lingered on the bridge for a while. He only had a pair of underpants on his body. There was a red patch on his body and a black patch. The red patch was new skin and the black patch was dead skin.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the weather was as hot as standing in a stove. The Qing soldiers' faces were flushed, and a layer of dead skin had peeled off from the sun. OK.

"The reeds." The Qing army crossed the river, and an officer of the Green Battalion said suddenly.

"Haven't you seen it? After several years of fighting, this thing can fill the place where there is water, and the weeds in the field of my hometown are waist-high." A person next to him said casually, "I really want to go in and sleep for a while. It's poisonous."

"Hey, why do you think Grandpa Baqi is more heat-resistant than Lao Tzu?"

"Daughter ball, look back, the armor has been taken off, and the skin is peeling off now."

"Hey, I can't take it anymore. My head is dizzy from the sun. I have to wash my face. You said the grandson in front of you, how can he run so well? Do it early, everyone is good."

After the green battalion officer finished speaking, he left the team and ran into the puddles full of reeds on both sides of the road. He pushed aside the reeds and squatted down to hold some stinky water. He was about to pour some stinky water on his face when he looked up and saw the reeds. A group of Ming soldiers in armor squatted, a sharp arrow was aimed at him, and fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.

He stood up abruptly, wanting to run away, want to shout, but just turned around, a sharp arrow shot out from the prodigal son, shot in from his back, and the arrow pierced through his Adam's apple, he made a few grunts, and then He fell to the ground and died.

The war caused the population of Jiangxi to drop sharply, and a large area of ​​paddy fields was barren, and the grass was taller than others. Thousands of soldiers and horses could be hidden in the fields full of reeds and weeds.

This sudden arrow was a signal, the Qing army was walking on the official road, suddenly there was a sound of cannons on both sides, and the explosive shells exploded among the Qing soldiers, immediately turning people on their backs.

"There is an ambush, back away." Bu Congshan's war horse was startled and irritable, and his face changed drastically, as soon as he pulled the rein, he ran back.

The Qing soldiers on the road were blown to death. During the panic, few people heard the general's shout. The smart ones turned around and ran away, and the ones who couldn't use their brains ran down the official road in a panic, but they were hit by lead bullets. Come, Qing Bing's body was like sifting chaff, shaking and fell to the ground.

At the same time, the howling sound of sharp arrows piercing the air came from both sides like a gust of wind, and a large net formed by arrows was falling rapidly.

Undecided, they were like Qing soldiers who had exploded, scurrying about like headless chickens, rain of arrows and lead bullets, immediately pierced through their armor, pierced through their single clothes, and penetrated into their bodies. The heart-piercing pain instantly turned into a mournful wail.

What made them even more terrified was that they were still behind. Amidst the wailing, the shouts of killing and life on both sides soared to the sky and stood up. Countless Ming soldiers rushed out from the reeds and weeds, wielding gleaming swords, and came to reap the harvest. their heads.

"Hurry up, the rear team will change to the front team, and retreat across the river." Liu Zhiyuan, who was on horseback, broke out in cold sweat, brandishing his saber and roaring loudly.

But their voices were quickly overwhelmed by the exclamation and wailing of the soldiers, but in fact, needless to say, the brigade of Qing soldiers had already rushed like the Huimin Bridge, and they were crowded and wanted to escape to the other side. People squeezed down the river, thumped and thumped a few times, and then disappeared.

Compared with the chaotic Green Battalion soldiers, the Eight Banners soldiers still had their organizational system, and they were calmer, mainly because they walked behind and were not attacked much, and their horses were fast, so they retreated to the river first.

At this time, some of the Eight Banners soldiers had already been carried by the Green Battalion onto the pontoon bridge, but there were still seven or eight hundred riding beside Liu Zhiyuan.

These cavalrymen turned pale with panic, but they were not in a hurry to get on the bridge. Including Liu Zhiyuan, they were all doing one thing, which was to quickly put on the armor they had taken off.

But when the Eight Banners soldiers put on their helmets and put on their armor in shock, a cavalry army came out from nowhere from the south and attacked them quickly.

Liu Zhiyuan had just put on his helmet and put on half of his armor, seeing this, his heart was torn apart, this cavalryman was none other than Wang Deren who they had been chasing for several days.

Although the opponent only has more than 500 riders, but the current Eight Banners looks funny, it is definitely not an opponent, and the enemy has seized the opportunity. I don't know how many people are in ambush. He doesn't know the truth, so it is meaningless to resist here.

Liu Zhiyuan made a decisive decision, threw away his half-worn armor, and ordered decisively, "Cross the river!"

Wang Deren led [-] cavalry to rush forward. The Ming army knights buckled their arrows and fired their sharp arrows at the unsuspecting Qing army infantry.

With the sound of horseshoes, and with the strength of a thousand catties, Wang Deren led the cavalry to bump into the Qing soldiers who did not have a dense formation, no thick armor, and no bows and arrows to suppress them. They just wanted to cross the river.

The Qing soldiers crowded at the bridgehead were immediately smashed into two by the horse army. The cavalry swords slashed and their heads rolled. After they came out of the formation, they didn't stop.
