Chapter 553 I Need Victory Too Much
The battle in Jiangbei was very bad, and the generals of the various ministries had no confidence. They felt that the Han army was no match for the blood-drinking Tartars.

The general in the tent didn't take Gao Chengxun's rhetoric very seriously, and when this stunned young man went to the battlefield, he would know how powerful the Tartars were.

Coming out of the tent, Zheng Sen said: "The battle will start later, my navy will shell three rounds first, and when I finish the battle, you will row and charge!"

The brothers of Jiang Shuishi are good at water warfare, but when they go ashore, they still can't do it when they meet the Tartars.

Gao Chengxun said: "Wait a while, I will attack the front, and then support the Japanese army. Gao Yi, after I attack Guazhou, go ashore from the side of the ferry, outflank the rear of the ferry, cut off the retreat of the Tartars, and prevent the Tartars from reinforcements."

Gao Yizhen didn't say a word, he acquiesced to this suggestion.

It is right that the Ming army wants to retake Guazhou, but the troops are too chaotic, the command is chaotic, the organization is not good, and the efficiency is low. In addition, most of the Ming army who came here have no war experience, so they can only use human lives to fill it.

It's no wonder that those who can fight are basically in the north of the river, trapped in the city by the Tartars, and the soldiers and horses supporting the south bank have no war experience, and they lack generals who can command the army.

He Tengjiao, known as a soldier, was driven up to coordinate the reinforcements on the south bank, but Lao He's real level may not be as good as Wei Wujun's brigade.

The commander was incompetent, and the three armies were affected. Many people who came to reinforce them became cannon fodder.

Even the newly recruited Japanese troops were the same. They were not like Wei Wujun who had experienced more than four years of war, but a group of recruits with insufficient training. The generals had never fought any battles, and they had no experience in command.

Although the Japanese army fought bravely, but the method was wrong, and in the end it could only be thankless.

At present, all the troops boarded the boats separately, and then paddled to the north bank.

When the fleet approached Guazhou Ferry, the three navy gunboats were already lying on the river, the gunports on the side were opened, and the black muzzles protruded from the gunports.

It has to be said that the navy of the Ming Dynasty was still quite powerful. More than 30 large and small artillery were aimed at Guazhou.

The side of the navy roared and bombarded Guazhou fiercely, causing gravel to splash at the ferry and blossoming mud flowers on the ground.

The naval warships on the river have been covered by gunpowder smoke, and the roar of the cannons makes the river tremble slightly. The scene is very spectacular.

Zheng Sen stood at the bow of the ship, observing the direction of Guazhou with binoculars, and was very satisfied with the shelling.

At this time, a general beside him suddenly exclaimed, "Qianhu, Wei Wu's army is charging!"

When Zheng Sen heard the reputation, he saw that the Dongting navy was rushing towards Guazhou in forty or fifty small boats, rowing and paddling.

The shelling didn't stop, Wei Wujun had already rushed over.

This made Zheng Sen a little startled, but he is very talented, and he quickly understood Gao Chengxun's intentions, and immediately ordered: "Launch as usual, raise the angle in the last round, and hit it inside."

Zheng Sen's thousand households were obtained through Zheng Hongkui's connection, but he had already proved his strength, so the navy officers and soldiers were convinced of him.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Wang Yan saw that Wei Wujun had rushed up while shelling, he couldn't help raising his brows, but then he felt a little frustrated.

Gao Chengxun didn't brag, Wei Wujun is indeed an elite team that has been fighting for a long time.

This is not to say that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is stronger than that of the Qing army, but the spirit, the courage to meet the brave to win in a narrow road, and the aura of contempt for the Qing army are not comparable to other troops.

If you want to do this, not everyone can do it. Cannonballs are flying overhead. Most people don't have the courage and confidence. They must be veterans of the battlefield.Because from the moment they rushed out, they knew they would definitely win.

This is not just based on enthusiasm, but experience on the battlefield tells them that they can do this!

"Pad across!" Wang Yan put down the binoculars and raised his hand.

The second round of shelling had just ended. Gao Chengxun led three hundred old soldiers and had already landed in Guazhou, while the tartars were still on the second line to avoid the shelling.

The Tartar who was observing in front raised his head, shook the dirt on his body, and suddenly found a large black figure, which had already climbed up the river beach and reached under his eyelids, and his eyes fell out of shock.

A few Qing soldiers who did not come rushed to report that Gao Chengxun had rushed to the first line of defense, drowning the remnants of the remaining soldiers on the front line in a short while.

The Tartar general hiding behind, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, he drew his sword, and immediately let out a roar, yelling to let the Qing army jump out of the anti-cannon ditch, and charged angrily, intending to occupy the first place. The Ming army on the first line of defense rushed to the river.

Nearly a thousand Qing soldiers jumped out of the trench, charging with a howl, but within a few steps, there were a few screams piercing the sky, and dozens of artillery shells came crashing down on them, and the Qing army was immediately turned upside down.

There were stones everywhere on the bank of the river, the shells hit the ground, and the gravel splashed. Nearly a hundred Qing troops were overturned by the cannons.

This demoralized the morale of the Qing army, and at this moment, Gao Chengxun led three hundred black-armored veterans, shouting, "Kill the turtle!"

Fighting with cold weapons, the most important thing is an aura. A group of Henan veterans, while chopping melons and vegetables with knives, yelled in Henan dialect, "Straight to your old lady!"

The fierce soldiers from the west of Henan and the north rushed to the front, followed by hundreds of new navy soldiers, their morale was like a rainbow. The rebels and tartars in Jiangbei had never met such an opponent, and they were instantly beaten and forced.

When Wang Yan saw hundreds of people rushing the Tartars to pieces, he couldn't help being a little crazy. When he came back to his senses, he immediately pulled out the sword in his waist and led the Japanese army to charge up.

"Xi Niangpi!" The soldiers from the west of Zhejiang Province had already been ignited with enthusiasm, shouting and cursing all over the shore, and rushed towards the Qing army violently.

Zheng Sen also looked stupid for a moment, he didn't expect that fighting is so simple, he thought in his heart that he had to find an opportunity to learn from Wei Wujun.

At this time, Gao Yizhen's men and horses had already landed from the side, turned around and outflanked them from behind.

When the rebels at the ferry saw it, they immediately fled northward~

Inside the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Zhu Cihong silently watched the sand table, on which the small flags representing the Ming army kept decreasing.The disappearance of each flag means that a city has fallen, or a team has been maimed.

The Jiangbei battlefield is like a huge meat grinder, consuming the military strength of the Ming Dynasty and devouring the lives of the soldiers of the Ming army.

Now that the Nanjing court has used almost all the power it can mobilize, Jiang Fang is still in jeopardy, which makes Zhu Cihong's heart full of anxiety.

Suddenly, an official from the Ministry of War came in with a happy face, and excitedly reported: "Your Majesty, the good news, the Japanese army recaptured Guazhou, wiped out 5000 northern captives, and seized countless weapons and supplies!"

The hall was instantly ebullient, Zhu Cihong hurriedly took the battle report, read it carefully several times, and said three good things in succession!
Praise the Japanese army is the central imperial army newly recruited by the imperial court, who did not expect to realize the shame and then be brave, breaking the myth of the undefeated Qing soldiers in Jiangbei.

Zhu Cihong's face was full of excitement, and all the officials in the hall rushed to circulate it first, but Ma Shiying said: "Your Majesty, everyone, do you believe this battle report?"

False reporting of military information is the strength of the Ma Ge Department. After reading He Tengjiao's memorial, the Ma Ge Department felt that the newcomer He Tengjiao was a bit too much.

Zhu Cihong's face immediately sank, and Lu Zhenfei who was beside him said, "Your Majesty, there is water, but Guazhou must have been taken back. Even if the He Ge Department is bold, they dare not lie about the situation in Guazhou. Your Majesty, now I really need a victory!"

Hearing the words, Zhu Cihong's expression softened a little.

The next day, the imperial palace reported He Tengjiao's memorial. The imperial court took back Guazhou, killed [-] enemies, captured cannons and numerous weapons, and severely damaged the Qing army in Jiangbei.
