Chapter Thirty-ninth Halfway and Strike One
The information Chen Jin obtained came from the scouts who had left on the east bank of the Qing army. Although Quzhou was located in the Jinqu Basin, the areas where the Ming army radiated along the way were flat terrain except for the Qujiang River from west to east and the staggered streams, in the hilly areas in the south, those scouts who had just arrived here in the Ming army were far from the opponents of these Qing army's local tyrants, so the movements of Nantang Camp were soon noticed by them, and after everything was determined, they were sent to Chen Jin's case.
"Build a plank road openly and secretly travel to Chencang. You dare to do this in Quzhou. Chen Wen'er, do you look down on the Ministry of Education so underestimate yourself?"
The tactic, which had almost no possibility of failure, prompted Chen Jin to immediately order the entire Superbian camp to mobilize and marches to the landing site of the Ming army in a hurry, fearing that Nantang camp will successfully cross Lingxi, thereby restraining the Qing army on the west bank and providing convenience for the main force of the Ming army to cross the river.
With Chen Jin's order issued, the entire Superbiao battalion quickly mobilized and headed towards the predetermined location in a mighty manner. Even the surrendered general of Wang Sheng and the former Simingshan Ming army under his command, which had just been added to the Superbiao battalion, were no exception.
……………………
"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!"
After reading the signal sent by the stalker to the east bank, Li Ruixin sat back in the horse stool. Through Lingxi, within three quarters of an hour, he could neither transport all the remaining troops nor transport the troops that had been transported back. Even a small half could not be possible.
When on Tiantai Mountain, Chen Wen continued to talk about "The Art of War". The paragraph in which "Guests come from the water, do not welcome them in the water, and let half of them fight against them, it will be beneficial" is a counterexample of a fool from the Spring and Autumn Period. So he still remembers it fresh.
Now, Li Ruixin's situation is almost exactly the same as what he said in that sentence. Unfortunately, he did not have the opportunity to choose as Duke Xiang of Song at this moment, because the Ming army he led was the target of being attacked by his opponent halfway, and Chen Jin, Zhang Guoxun and others who had been in the battle for a long time could never suddenly become unparalleled.
It’s neither to advance nor retreat, and the Qing army will arrive soon, and there is no time for him to think about it. When this situation is urgent and dilemma, Li Ruixin calmed down instead. Because in his life, not no one has made a choice under a similar situation!
In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army marched south in a large scale. On one side was Zuo Menggeng's army, which had just repelled the forces but still existed. On the other side was Liu Liangzuo, the No. 1 Guangchang who had surrendered to the Qing army and was trying his best to surrender. Huang Degong, who fled to the army, chose to fight the Qing army in such a dilemma and died heroically. He was still honored even if he was defeated.
In the fourth year of Yongli, the Qing army in Zhejiang mobilized Hangzhou to garrison the Eight Banners and the Admiral Biaoying to encircle and suppress Siming Mountain. Wang Yi, the ruler of Zhejiang, gathered a large army to fight with the Qing army and suffered a crushing defeat. Chen Wen, who had just been excluded, still chose to follow Wang Yi's will to cover the people's evacuation. However, seeing that the area of Siming Mountain was about to leave, he was caught up by the large Qing army that followed. After taking a step back, he could easily escape. But facing several times his elite Qing army, Chen Wen chose to stay as the rear of the people, and finally defeated the Qing army in one fell swoop, completing the turnaround that others could almost unimaginably.
These two people, one is his former idol, and the other is the coach whom he is now swearing to be loyal to. They chose to rush forward resolutely when they encountered desperate situations, which is really enough to strengthen the hero's courage. Li Ruixin, who has always regarded himself as a brave man, was still hesitating and even fearing just now, which really made him feel extremely ashamed and angry.
As the leader of the partial teacher, he shoulders extremely important tasks, and such pressure is pressing on him, but this is not a reason for hesitation. This is not just the pride that regards the children as treasures, but more importantly, the trust of Chen Wen and his soldiers must not be disappointed!
Thinking of this, Li Ruixin rose up, took off the sword and bow arrow hanging on the Desheng hook, sorted out his armor and walked towards the river beach where the military supplies and artillery were still moving towards the sky.
"Ship Li!" Before Li Ruixin could give an order, the military judge in Nantang Camp was stunned for a moment after reading the meaning of the signal, but when he realized that Li Ruixin had already walked to the river beach, gritted his teeth and rushed over to make a comment.
"Li Shuai is the chief general of the army's partial division and should be in charge of the entire army. If you are not at ease with the other side, the last general is willing to personally lead the team to cross the river to supervise the battle!"
Chen Wen has been extremely strict in his military leadership since he led the army. Although his position as a military judge was directly responsible to the general army judge Qi Xiufeng of Jinhua Town, and he was not in charge of the command of Li Ruixin's Nantang Camp, as a military judge, he knew very well that losing the chief general and subordinates was a crime of death. This military law was an iron rule in the era of Qi Jiguang, and now it is even a dead end. Even his family in Jinhua would be implicated. It would be better to lead the team to supervise the battle and make a bet. If you win, you will be destined to be promoted. Even if you lose, you can become a martyr.
Li Ruixin knew very well and understood the thoughts of the military judge, but the general was the courage of the army, which was the key he learned when he was in Huang Degong's army. He had seen it with his own eyes in Chen Wen's army that the subordinates on the other side were about to face the Qing army's governor camp, which could not be despised at all.
Li Ruixin shook his head and issued an order to several officers who also surrounded him to dissuade him. "After the Tartars have arrived at the mountain, their main force will arrive soon. I have decided to go to the other side to command the battle. Please keep the persuasion and cross the river as soon as possible. The faster you progress, the higher the possibility of our army's success!" After that, Li Ruixin pushed everyone away, jumped onto a diabolic raft, and drove towards the other side under the rowing of the boatman.
Seeing that there was no choice, the officers on the east bank had to try their best to speed up the crossing of the river. The military judge even commanded the slanders who served as the supervising team and called on the rest of the men, women, young and old to transport supplies for the Ming army.
