Chapter 77 Pre-emptive strike

The extremely beautiful dismounting action of exploring the horse attracted the sincere admiration of the guards around Chen Wen. After running forward for a while, his war horse was also grabbed by the Ming army guards who rushed up, and forced to stop.

"Yang Jie is quite fast. Tell Hou Guoyuan that Nantang Camp will continue to attack without stopping. The Guard Camp is ready to fight the Tartars with me."

In this battle, Chen Wen specially mobilized four war barracks to besiege Jiangshan County in order to swallow the Dubiao camp that had begun to replicate the Ming army's organization. According to the terrain of Jiangshan County, the two battalions were in the north and the two battalions were in the south. When siege, the Dubiao camp was in fact not necessarily winning, whether it was Yang Jie or Wang Zhigang. Unless these three battalions risk giving up Jiangshan County, gathering a large army of 9,000 people to siege the whole route, and in that case, the Ming army could also maneuver through two north and south floating bridges on Jiangshan Port. The besieged route would be enough to persist for a while.

However, it is unknown whether Yang Jie and Wang Zhigang will gather together. Among the four battle barracks drawn by Chen Wen this time, Lishui Camp located on the South Road is still a camp full of new recruits. In this way, the South Road can only serve as an auxiliary in the siege, but they have more important tasks, which is not as easy as the North Road.

In the direction of Jiangshan County, the shouts of the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties soared into the sky. The attack of Nantang Camp continued, but the defenders were not scared. Instead, they fought hard to defend the city wall with the encouragement of reinforcements that the reinforcements would soon arrive.

With Chen Wen's order, the guard battalion, which was originally on standby in the siege, immediately began to wear armor and complete the team, while the firearms team and artillery inspected the guys in their hands for the last time to ensure that they did not lose the chain during the fierce battle.

As time passed, Chen Wen handed over the command of the siege to Hou Guoyuan when he issued an order, and his flag turned backwards to face the road where Yang Jie was about to appear. After a while, with the sound of horse hooves of the Ming army's probe retreating, the cavalry of the Jiujiang Green Camp, Yang Jie's flag and the Qing army of the brigade appeared one after another.

"Don't worry, wait until they take the initiative to attack, our army will fight back."

"Stay on the spot!"

"Stay on the spot!"

"Stay on the spot!"

“…”

After the orders were conveyed, the Guards began their final rest. Just one mile away from them, the Qing army of Jiujiang Green Camp also began to prepare for war. For a moment, only the two armies of the provocations were still testing each other on the battlefield between the two sides, and neither side had the intention of harassing their infantry.

On the battlefield, a tall and large Ming cavalry was fighting with a Qing army opposite. The Ming army was similar to Li Ruixin in height, but it was not like Li Ruixin who could even use all kinds of skills and tricks. When riding on the war horse, he would do his best to chop every time he fought, which was clearly a swearing to kill the enemy.

His opponent, the Qing army, was obviously an officer, and was not inferior to him in height and weight, but under this desperate attack, he still had the ability to resist and had no power to fight back.

"kill!"

A loud shout sounded, and the Ming general waved the saber in his hand and slashed hard on the Qing army officer's sword. The swords and swords intertwined, and sparks flew everywhere, which shocked the two of them. When the weapons separated, two very obvious gaps were left at the collision between the sword and the blades.

The horses were naturally driven by the force of the war horses. The Ming cavalry's war horses rushed forward after the weapons were intertwined before turning the horse's head. At this time, the Qing army officer on the opposite side seemed to have recognized the opponent, completely ignored the other light cavalry on the battlefield that were still fighting dogs, and rushed up again...

"What's the name of that cavalry?"

"When the general returns to the commander-in-chief, the man is called Li Huanxiang. It is said that his ancestors came from Liaodong."

"Returning home, it seems that his father has high hopes for him."

Looking at the cavalry from afar, the shouts of killing from afar still showed no sign of stagnation. The cavalry was still continuing, and suddenly, a sudden burst of cheers came from behind him. Chen Wen turned his head and saw in the telescope a long-time Ming army player climbing to the top of the city.

The long card player jumped up with the remaining strength of climbing the storm and kicked over the Qing army in front of him. He waved his long sword and hit the shield, and soon broke out a small area without the Qing army. On the ladder he climbed up the city, one Ming army after another was rushing upwards, and more and more people climbing up the city. Even the auxiliary soldiers on the escalator below no longer had to worry about using shields to protect their heads.

"So I'm going to board first."

First landing. In the fierce city offensive and defensive battle, if the defenders have sufficient experience, they can quickly kill this warrior on the top of the city. However, once the first landing appears, the defenders will easily cause insufficient troops in other areas to be killed and the enemy forces that follow. This will lead to more loopholes.

But generally speaking, once a siege soldier is killed on the top of the city, it means that the city's offensive and defensive battle has entered the most intense stage. Both sides will repeatedly compete for the city, until the strength is exhausted or the morale is completely collapsed due to a large number of casualties, which is considered an end.

In this case, the attacking party will choose to retreat and regroup and fight again in the future. If the defenders collapse, they will only escape into the city or through the city to other gates, and the city will generally change hands. However, after turning around and observing for a moment, Chen Wen turned around and looked at the cavalry in front of him, but suddenly felt something was wrong here.

Generally speaking, after wearing armor, they will take a little rest and wait for the soldiers to accumulate the last wave of energy before rushing to kill. This is what the Ming army did, and the Qing army did the same. It seems that there is nothing different. However, another battalion of the Ming army is now siegeing the city. Chen Wen has been waiting for a while, and now he has appeared first. However, the Qing army opposite still has no movement and still allows the cavalry to fight on the battlefield.

"Do they have any killer moves?"

In any case, if Yang Jie or someone is still waiting for a better opportunity, then for Chen Wen, it would be better to force Yang Jie to take action first than to continue waiting passively.

As the flag swung regularly under the movement of the flag bearer, the horses on the battlefield left their opponents and retreated. With a clamor, the Ming army infantry, who had been resting for a while, began to stand up again. Even the artillery groups of the Guard Battalion were ready to push the cannon carts or carry lighter tiger squatting cannons to follow the queue.

The Ming army rushed to carry out the whole team. The Qing army's horses on the opposite side just came over and took a look and ran towards their own formation without any hesitation.

After the complete team was over, the Ming army's war drums sounded, and the "tiger" roared, and the soldiers were inspiring. Then, under the guidance of the flag and the war drum, they took firm steps towards the formation of the Jiujiang Green Camp. But at this moment, the Qing army, which was originally waiting for the battle, turned collectively at the moment when the Ming army attacked, and headed towards the long road when they came.
