Chapter 38 Darkness End

[Latest Broadcast] Tomorrow is 515, the starting point anniversary, the most benefits day... In addition to gift bags and school bags, this time you must read the 515 red envelopes. There is no reason to not grab the red envelopes. Set the alarm clock~

The main force of the Ming army in Longyou Town just approached the river bank and was located behind the Lingxi defense line in Quzhou Green Camp. The Dubiao Camp, which formed a corner with Longyou County, got news.

Since the Ming army entered the territory of Quzhou, Chen Jin placed the only Dianbiao camp, Jinhua Town Biao camp, Quzhou Green Camp and Water Camp in his hand on the west bank of Lingxi for defense, thinking that Quzhou Prefecture governed the Xi'an County. As for the provocateurs who used to investigate the enemy situation, they did not all retreat to the west bank of Lingxi, but left a very small number of hidden places to prepare for the counterattack after the reinforcements were assembled.

Although the number of the troops in his hands is almost the same as the Ming army and the water camp has an overwhelming advantage, Chen Jin did not dare to be careless at all. The result of the encirclement and suppression of Jinhua last year and the answers obtained from Zhang Guoxun made him dare not reap any confidence in the field battle of the Ming army with roughly the same force. This feeling is very familiar to him, and it seems that it had happened more than ten years ago. The only difference is that the roles of each other were interchangeable. At that time, he was still among the Daguan Ning Iron Cavalry, which was known as "9,000 or more" in later generations, and what gave him this feeling was the Jiannu who was still in the rebellion of Liaodong!

Of course, in Chen Jin's opinion, there is still a big gap between the current Ming army and his Manchu Zhenyi masters. At least he didn't even dare to have the idea of ​​fighting at that time, and now he dares to bring teammates like Ma Jinbao like pigs to take advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the advantage of the territory. I just don't know if this is because he is more courageous or smaller.

Chen Jin did not understand very well how a new army, which had been established for less than two years, achieved such brilliant results in the past two years, but in his opinion, it was far from enough to achieve success in Zhejiang. It is far from enough to have strong infantry soldiers. Without a strong enough water camp, it is impossible to run rampant in this province with water networks. He is full of confidence in those water camps that have set out from Longyou according to the plan to carry out the auxiliary defense mission.w?

Soon, the news that the Ming army failed to transit and was forced to retreat to the shore came. Chen Jin handed over the report that the Ming army was furious and had to use artillery shells to vent his anger at Lingxi and circulated it. After celebrating each other, he praised Chen Jin's magical tricks and used his troops to his gods. The sound of flattery immediately filled it. It seemed that only Chen Jin himself was a little uneasy, perhaps because of his years of experience in leading troops.

No, there is another person!

"Prison Li, did you think of something?"

Seeing Chen Jin telling each other, Li Zhifang bowed and said, "Reporting to the army, the officials have checked some records about Chen Wen, the thief of the Dalan in the past few days, and consulted Wang Shoujie. From the response to the Eight Banners in Hangzhou and the Tibiao Camp encirclement and suppression of Siming Mountain, to the chaos in Taizhou. As well as the dispatch of troops to Jinhua Prefecture, the man seemed to be keen on using fraud. This may be related to his always at a disadvantage in his troops, but this time the attack on Quzhou was stationed on the east bank, trying to cross Lingxi by force under extreme disadvantage in water battles. This seems to be a bit, a bit too inconsistent with his style."

"Prison Li makes sense. This Dalan thief Chen Wen's use of troops this time is indeed a bit weird. So what does Li think that Dalan thief will do?"

Li Zhifang has thought about this question many times in the past two days and has consulted some familiar generals. If he had not been successful, he would not have done so on purpose. "The officials thought that Chen Wen, the thief of Dalan, is still a deceitful trick today. The man's attack is fake and smuggling is real, but when will he smuggle be smuggled, or where will he choose to smuggle. But it is not yet known."

At one time and another place, seeing that Li Zhifang had already calculated that the smuggling might have reached this point, Chen Jin continued this thought that was almost the same as his previous uneasiness while not stinging with his appreciation.

"Prison Li is indeed a soldier-minded person. The master reads it right. It's very good!"

As soon as Chen Jin said this, everyone turned their attention to this young civil servant who was unlimitedly favored by Chen Jin recently, and all of them showed jealous eyes.??.|??`Even if his current official position is still in the occupied area of ​​the Ming army, if the Qing army reoccupied Jinhua Prefecture, with Chen Jin's attention, a prefect would probably not be able to escape.

Envy - jealous - hatred!

The same is true in ancient and modern times. When you have a place that only others envy, it will inevitably lead to jealousy, because those people only see your glory but cannot see how much you have paid behind your back. Just like Li Zhifang, Chen Jin's approval at this moment seems to be Li Zhifang's response is a little quicker to the top. They believe that if they give some time, they will definitely think of it, but these people completely ignore Li Zhifang's time to check the records about Chen Wen and make friends with the various efforts of the rebel general Wang Sheng who had some interaction with Chen Wen.

Receiving Chen Jin's praise, even Li Zhifang, who had just entered the officialdom for several years, realized the hostility of others. However, at this moment, he did not care much about these things. His identity and roots were very different. At this moment, Li Zhifang, who was still a little young and energetic, was naturally too lazy to pay attention to the troubles of those "mediocre people".

However, before the fierce Li Zhifang was ready to show any performance in front of his boss, Chen Jin's personal soldiers outside the tent brought in a dusty whistle after the notice. After the man reported on the military situation, the aides with a somewhat complicated expression had not yet responded, Chen Jin immediately ordered the entire army to march upstream of Lingxi adjacent to the hilly area.

At this moment, if the Daying camp stationed by the Dubiao Camp is only a few hours away from the smuggling point of Nantang Camp, it will be only a few hours away.

……………………

While Chen Jin mobilized the Supervisor Camp, Nantang Camp, which was responsible for performing the ferry mission, also set off from the assembly site of the Shiliangting Pavilion and marched towards the ferry near Turtle Mountain at an extremely fast speed under the guidance of the whistle cavalry.

The reason why I chose this place is actually very simple. The narrow river channel here is conducive to the Ming army's rapid creeping, and the terrain not far from the west bank is raised to a high place, which is more conducive to concealment. As long as I cross Lingxi, Nantangying can quickly go north along Lingxi to assist the main force of the Ming army to cross the river. As for the Qing army stationed in Longyou County, it is completely out of the eyes of Ming generals like Chen Wen and Li Ruixin.

Carrying a limited boat raft, Nantangying arrived at the ferry site as scheduled in the afternoon. After the forefront troops formed all the nearby Ding Zhuang as civilians and requisitioned their boat rafts, the Ming soldiers who were still eating dry food began to work on the ferry.

Unlike forced ferry, the Ming army that had hidden ferry first transported a team of cavalry and horses to the camp, and their mission was to quickly cover the Ming army's ferry operations after arriving at the west bank. When the first batch of cavalry crossed Lingxi, the infantry team of Nantang Camp began to ferry in units of sentries after confirming that there were no enemy troops around.

The infantry in Nantang Camp has four bureaus, each bureau has four posts and four infantry teams, and each infantry team is composed of a hand-to-hand killer team and a firearm team. The four-four system organization still looks the same as last year, but it is not.

Compared to last year, the killer team of each infantry team is now composed of two old versions of the killer team of the Mandarin Duck Formation and two spear formation killer teams. Even the firearm team is also a bird gunner and archers. Even the firearm team, which has always been known as the strongest combat power, has even replaced the Lumi gun with a longer range and greater power. Unfortunately, until the eve of the dispatch of troops, there were only so many qualified Lumi guns produced by the Military Equipment Department, and it was impossible to completely complete the replacement work.

According to the suggestions given by the General Staff, when creeping, in addition to the first batch of horse-drawn horses, the infantry team must be transported to ensure that the Ming army can gain a foothold. Then, it will start transporting artillery, engineers and officers from the battalion, and finally transporting the infantry left on the east coast to make sure that the Ming army can gain a foothold.

The work of burying the ferry is still going on slowly. As the commander of Nantang Camp, Li Ruixin, who has already reached the general, knows the burden he shoulders. The main force of the Ming army led by Chen Wen is still attracting the attention of the Qing army. The faster the Nantang Camp responsible for Qianyue crosses Lingxi, the more time it has to be used to squeeze the Qing army's field troops out of this area, so as to win the first key point in the attack on Quzhou - Longyou County. And if it can maintain its suddenness and completely defeat the Qing army's field troops, it will be very beneficial to attack Quzhou.

The faster the cruising speed, the stronger the suddenness. Even semi-illiterate generals like Li Ruixin can easily understand this simple truth. Seeing his soldiers passing through Lingxi step by step under the leadership of the officers, even though his palms were covered in sweat, he still held up a fearless attitude to stabilize his equally anxious subordinates.

However, the Ming army's crossing the river was much slower than he thought, and even a lot slower. The number of boats and rafts was extremely small, and at most one infantry post was only transported at one time. Moreover, in fact, this was still an ideal state, and in fact it was impossible to meet this standard at all. In addition, the order of crossing the river and the necessary materials such as artillery and horses were far more difficult to transport than infantry holding weapons, which undoubtedly affected the progress of the Ming army.

The general was a military courage. Even though he was anxious at this moment, Li Ruixin still followed his idol back then. The powerful general named Duke Jingguo Huang Degong, who was famous in the late Ming Dynasty, sat on the stool and watched the soldiers cross the river, but just changed drinking to drinking water.

Time passed slowly, and it seemed that a long time had passed. The first and second rounds of infantry bureaus, the first and second rounds of the second round, finally arrived at the other side and began to deploy defenses outside the river bank as a unit. The third round of artillery and engineers began to cross the river more slowly.

However, the engineers who assisted in the defense had just crossed Lingxi, while the light tiger squat cannon that was convenient for transportation was still striding westward on the side near the east bank. In the distance of the west bank, a fast horse was almost running towards the river bank with four hooves.

Arriving on the river bank, the explorer ignored the Ming army that was deploying defenses on the river bank, but waved the small flag in his hand and signaled to Li Ruixin, the leader of the Ming army on the other side.

"The vanguard of the Supervisor Battalion has arrived behind the mountain, and his main force is following up quickly. He will encounter our troops in about three quarters of an hour!"
