"Main Town, the pirate ship has retreated!"

At the Haimen Hall Yujiao Port on the north bank of Chongming Island, there is smoke and gunfire.

As the attacking Qing army, countless bodies had been pounced on, but the sacrifices of these people also resulted in Chen Jun's considerable casualties.

But wars on land are not of decisive significance. The important thing is to look at the river. Otherwise, if there were several Chen army warships wandering on the river, the Qing army would not have really occupied Yujiao Port.

But now Chen Jun’s warship has run away!?

Fushan Town General Han Zhong didn't care about his decent attitude as a general. After hearing this, he immediately got up and lay on the inner wall of the trench, carefully exposed his head to look at the river.

Korean Zhong has to be careful.

Because there were some elusive sharpshooters on the opposite side, he felt unsafe no matter how far away he was.

However, seeing the six Chen army warships on the river were really heading east, I still breathed happily.

These guys finally left!

"Go quickly and continue to attack. If you have a few more offensives, this Yujiao Port will be broken!"

After all, Chen Jun’s target was Haimen Hall, or even Nantong Prefecture. Yujiao Port was just a small fight, just a blockade against the Qing army’s naval division.

There may be only three or five hundred Chen Jun in the opposite town. Although the weapons are not bad, if it weren't for the Chen Jun warships on the river, Han Zhong felt that no matter how he was a navy general, he would have taken him down.

But because of Chen's warship wandering, the Qing army must be vigilant at all times, and even if they are strong, they cannot use all their strength.

But now Chen Jun has retreated himself.

This is very conceivable.

Han Zhong hoped that he was not wrong - Chen Jun was leaving.

After all, these Chen Jun who fought south of Qilu did not really want to occupy the city, they just wanted to grab people, supplies and things.

It's a bunch of big pirates.

Han Zhong’s mission is to defend the Yangtze River Estuary, and there is no major conflict with it.

As long as these evil spirits are not busy at the estuary of the Yangtze River, they will go there casually.

Looking at this port again, if you take down Yujiao Port, it will be equivalent to directly threatening the Haimen Hall City.

Given that Chen Jun took the initiative to retreat, he had reason to believe that Chen Jun was going to run away.

This is also good, Han Zhong really hopes to send Chen Jun out of the country with gifts.

A while ago, the navy of the Chen army of Qilu and Lu frequently went south. To be honest, Han Zhong is now very clever.

Although the Qing army had many naval troops at the estuary of the Yangtze River, only the subordinates of Fushan Town were Chuansha and Wusong naval troops, and the Jingkou naval ship on the south bank and the Taihu naval troops in Suzhou, as well as the Langshan Town naval troops on the north bank.

But the quality is too poor, no matter how many quantity is, it is useless?

Chen Jun's fleet was all red single-ships as bones, and sand ships were supplemented by sand ships. Although the number of ships was not high, the quality was far greater than that of the Qing army's sand-buckle ships, double-sacred ships and large-scale carousel ships.

Just like now.

There were four small and medium-sized red single ships and two sand boats opposite, which made the Nantong Naval Camp and the Jugang Naval Camp under Langshan Town unable to lift their heads.

After more than a hundred years of peace, the Qing army navy had long been abandoned.

If some pirates on the sea of ​​Fujian and Guangdong can give the local Qing army naval forces some opportunities to train, then the inland water naval forces at the estuary of the Yangtze River will be completely reduced to a group of waste.

Ships are inferior to people, cannons are inferior to people, and people are inferior to people. It would be strange if they can win!

Moreover, in addition to the six warships here, the main force of the Chen Army Navy in the south is larger, but it is Wusongkou, so it is impossible to ignore it.

Han Zhong felt that the general of Suzhou Town who was in charge of the war there was even more exhausted.

But all this has finally passed.

He always devoted himself to the past few days, but he was afraid of an accident, and now he was finally relieved.

But Korea is really happy too early.

As the Chen army warships on the river left, the Chen army soldiers from Yujiao Port also retreated in the north.

They were not afraid that after losing Yujiao Port, they would be blocked on land. Chen Jun, who had an absolute advantage on water, had too many retreat paths to choose from.

Seeing that the Green Camp Dragon Banner finally rose on Yujiao Harbor, Han Zhong smiled so happily.

Although this is not a big contribution, it is finally a contribution.

But before he could move to Yujiao Port, the urgent call came to his ears. South Korea thought loyally, could it be that the situation in northern Jiangsu was decided?

"Duxian urgently ordered the general town to go to Yangzhou."

Yangzhou?

Han Zhong was stunned. Where did he follow?

After receiving the urgent order, he saw that it was a decisive defeat in northern Jiangsu. The 30,000 army lost more than 20,000 yuan. Ximing fled back to Huai'an with thousands of defeated generals, but it didn't seem like he could save Huai'an. Therefore, the governor of Liangjiang Sazai has already begun to plan for Yangzhou's defense.

Han Zhong was stupid on the spot.

Thirty thousand troops were defeated by more than 10,000 thieves? And was it such a crushing defeat? Is Xi Ming's mind in his mind?

At this time, I would like to ask myself to go to Yangzhou, which is useless!

How many soldiers are there in the two rivers?

Not counting the Eight Banners, the Jiangning City guards and governors on the books, the Nanhe patrols, the Caohe troopers, the three towns in Jiangsu Province, the five towns under the Jiangnan Admiral, and the two towns in western Jiangxi and the two towns in Anhui Province, with a total force of only about 50,000.

This is still the number on the book.

More than 20,000 were lost at once. Shouchun Town in Anhui Province and Xuzhou Town in northern Jiangsu were both severely damaged. In this case, Liangjiang still defended Yangzhou, directly guarding the Yangtze River.

South Korea sneered in her loyalty, and even had no idea about Sazai.

There are nothing more than two things. One is to delay time as much as possible to wait for reinforcements from other provinces to arrive; the other is to deal with the court with all their strength.

But what if he sees through it?

Can he still refuse the order?

That is impossible.

So, Han Zhong suddenly felt bored when he looked at Yujiao Port that he had worked hard to win.

It's just different from Han Zhong's boring taste. Zhao Liang, who is strode to Huai'an, is very interested.

Huai'an is a good place. There is also Qingjiangpu at the north end. These are two places that are not inferior to Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and even Jiangning.

If you take this place, you won’t be anything else. Just the capture of gold and silver can make Chen Jun eat it.

Li Changhong and Liang Hai both followed the army.

One of them is in logistics, and the other is Zhao Liang's general affairs of the Secretariat.

The matter I suffered was just straightened out, but I didn’t expect that I would return to Qingjiangpu again.

The defeated Qing army could not form any resistance in Qingjiangpu. Many people arrived in Qingjiangpu and did not organize the defense line, but to rob and plunder.

After Chen Jun tied their butts and rushed to Qingjiangpu, and after Chen Jun successfully crossed the Yellow River on a canal boat, some of these people saw the situation early and continued to flee south early.

The other part was captured alive by Chen Jun in Shili Qingjiangpu.

So the goods they just stolen became Chen Jun's serious spoils.

"Let all the merchants claim the things. As long as they can prove that those things are really theirs, they will be returned to them!"

Zhao Liang is not short of these silver.

"And the deposits from the previous bank, as long as they take out their passbook, they will give them all."

Li Changhong and Liang Hai patted their chests and promised not to make mistakes. Anyway, the silver from before was not shipped out of Qingjiangpu, so it would be a little bit to go back now.

Although it is necessary to distribute a lot of money, it has also attracted the hearts of the people, right?
