The General Zhang who was mentioned by the officer of the "Han Army's Yellow Banner" was General Zhang Jie, Zhang Jie, Tian Xiong, Ma Degong and others, all of whom were under Huang Degong's command. If Chang Jingong, the guerrilla guerrillas in the Fubiao camp, was originally a subordinate of Zhang Jie, and the three Qing troops on the northern front were all rebels who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after Huang Degong died.

The Qing army on the northern line ignited the camp and then fled north. Even Chen Guobao led the Pujiang Camp across the river to intercept the camp but failed. In the end, he only intercepted a part of the fallen Qing army.

The Qing army fled without a single arrow. The losses of the warriors may not be large, but they were completely out of baggage and the system was chaotic. The desperate escape along the way would inevitably lead to the separation of many soldiers. For a time, this Qing army would not cause any threat for the time being.

It shouldn't have been like this. Although Chen Wen had defeated part of the Extra Biao Battalion and had used his terrain and military strength to wipe out the original Fu Biao Battalion, this could not have caused the Qing army to react like this when encountering his main force. At least they did not have such an effect when facing the attack of Pujiang Battalion. It must have been Hong Chengchou that the Green Camp strictly prohibited the field battle between the main force of the Ming army, so the Qing army had no intention of fighting. Once the main force of the Ming army appeared, they would subconsciously abide by the orders and follow the fear in their hearts.

The threat from the northern line was temporarily lifted. Chen Wen also handed over the garrison of Zhengjiawu Town to the garrison of Anhua Town to help deal with the matters of treating patients, cleaning and disinfecting inside and outside the fortress, replenishing soldiers and warehousing, etc. Chen Wen also handed over the garrison of Zhengjiawu Town to assist in handling. He must return to the army as soon as possible.

The beacon fire in Zhengjiawu Town could not have been attacked in Zhengjiawu Town. The Qing army did not need to go around there to attack a supply center of an outpost, and the army could not have sneaked over from the east and west mountains. The only possibility is that the Qing army broke through a line of defense of the Ming army, thus threatening the fundamental place of the Ming army, and there was no need to think about it.

……………………

A few days ago, when Chen Wen was still on the way to Zhengjiawu Town from north Yiwu, the Qing army in Tonglu demolished the iron chain that blocked the river in the morning.

At noon that day, warships sailed through Tonglu with the help of wind and followed the Fuchun River upstream. This Qing army navy was well aware of the hydrological conditions of the Fuchun River. When the sky was getting darker, they had already reached the Yanzhou Prefecture.

The capital of Yanzhou Prefecture is located in Meicheng Town, where the Fuchun River and Lanjiang River meet. The Ming army only had a very small outpost force here to maintain the public order and use it as a post-sentence probe. When the Qing Navy approached here, it was immediately discovered by the Ming army. This small army that acted as a beacon tower did not disappoint their mission. After igniting the beacon, it withdrew from the capital and tried to return to Lanxi County to the south.

After arriving at Yanzhou Prefecture City, the Qing army's navy did not stop at all. Only one green camp soldier was left to take over the city and turned south, continuing to advance to the hinterland of the Ming army along Lanxi.

It was dark at this moment, and the wind direction was no longer as favorable as before. However, China's sails could use the angle to adjust the wind to maximize the wind power. In addition, the role of the oars made the Qing army's warships not lose much in terms of degree. Before dawn, the Qing army's navy had already arrived at their destination, Lanxi County.

In the waters controlled by the Ming army in Qujiang-Dongyang River-Lanjiang, the Ming army is mainly managed by the Zhejiang Inland River Naval Division. Among them, the Dongyang River does not have too deep intersection with other water systems entering the Qing army-occupied areas, so it is mainly mainly cargo ships that transport soldiers and transport supplies, but only a small amount of self-defense equipment such as artillery were added. On the Qujiang River, the Ming army's ships were concentrated in the direction of Fucheng and Longyou, and there were about half of the warships of the Inland River Naval Division. In addition, the other warships were all concentrated in several military docks in Lanxi County to prevent the Qing army from entering this waters from Qiantang River.

The beacon has approached Lanxi County along the Lanjiang River, but I don’t know whether the Qing army was just trying to recover Yanzhou Prefecture City or launched a large-scale attack. It is difficult to interpret too many answers from the beacon.

Fortunately, Vice General Qian of the Zhejiang Inland River Naval Division did not take it lightly. Not only did he adjust the naval warships to fight the Qing army better and faster at the dock, but he also used the observation posts along the river and the lights of the county town to better observe the situation on the Lanjiang River. However, when the Qing army's naval division appeared in front of the Ming army, the senior officer of the Zhejiang Naval Division was still shocked and speechless.

The Qing army naval warships appeared one after another in sight, and the warships were even under the banner of Qiantang Navy. Qiantang Navy decided to organize two thousand combat soldiers, but there were more than a dozen large warships. At first sight, they obviously came all of them. Even further away, a series of firelights were faintly seen towards Lanxi County.

In contrast, although the water camp has been expanded in the past two years, Chen Wen spent a lot of money on manufacturing warships, and the wood of the warships needs to be air-dried for several years before it can be used. Most of the wood used by the newly built warships of the Ming army was originally planned to be left for the former Quzhou water camp, so the number of large warships has not increased much.

At this moment, the Qiantang Water Camp, which had two thousand navy soldiers and more than ten large warships, had to face half of the Zhejiang Inland Water Division, and the number of troops and ships was only one-quarter of the Qing army. The Deputy General Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"General, there are too many Tartar ships, we are no match for it."

Deputy General Qian knew very well what the captain was saying. He had no chance of winning this Qing army warship of the order of magnitude. Instead of staying here to die, it would be better to avoid the edge and wait for the future. But for him, this account could not be settled like this.

"There is no time left, notify the defenders and ignite the beacon tower. In addition, we will send orders to the ships and sail out of the dock. We will fight the Tartars here to the death, and we will always give the general and other comrades some time."

After a while, the Ming army's warships slowly sailed out of the dock, while the Qing army's fleet had passed through the waters of Waiweizhou and gathered again.

On the river surface several hundred meters wide, the fleets of the Ming and Qing armies had already faced each other far away, reflecting the moonlight and the lights shining from the city wall. Deputy General Qian could even vaguely see that the Qing army's warships had formed an offensive formation.

The night wind blew the feathers, and Vice General Qian looked to the direction of Jinhua City and sighed deeply. His parents, wife and children lived there, but since then...

"Set the sails, raise the anchor, and all ships attack freely!"

The wind direction was not smooth, but it was the case with both the Ming and Qing armies. Fortunately, the Ming army had the advantage of going downstream. After the order from Vice General Qian was issued, the Ming army's warships drove towards the Qing army very quickly.

During water war, degree is crucial, so the mastery and utilization of wind direction, wind, water flow direction and flow are the factors that test the ability of the water war commander. At this moment, night has long been coming. Although the number of naval troops in the Ming army was small, the Qing army was in a state of countercurrent, and its degree was far inferior to that of the Ming army's warships.

The Ming army came in a hurry, and all the Qing army's ships fired their guns and fought back, but the impact of the shaking of the ships on the water, the asymmetry of the two sides, and various reasons, the shells they shot like rain often only stirred up splashes on the water.

However, when we got closer, the huge advantages of the Qing warships were revealed. The artillery on the Ming warships could indeed close their eyes and bombard the Qing army's hull, but the Qing army's condescending shooting and throwing firearms like fire were simply beyond the reach of the Ming army.

A moment later, the Ming army's warships were either occupied by the Qing army or ignited a raging fire and moved aimlessly along the current of water. Only Vice General Qian's large ship was still struggling to support, but the flames were also soaring into the sky.

The next second, Vice General Qian pushed away the captain who had just been lost and fell on the rudder. He looked at the direction of the army commander on the ship and turned the rudder to another angle.

"Stop him!"
