The past six months have been a shameful life in the eyes of Chen Jun soldiers in Zhangzhou.

The Qing army opposite had no choice but to do anything to them.

Ren Chengen, the land admiral of Fujian Province in Zhangzhou, had tried to dig trenches outside Zhangpu City and approached the city little by little. However, before the Chen army in the city had taken action, the heavy rain caused the Qing army to return in vain.

Zhangpu is opposite the Grandmaster, with a typical subtropical marine monsoon climate, rich in heat and abundant rainfall.

If you want to dig trenches here, it is a hurdle that cannot be overcome whether it is groundwater or precipitation in the sky.

Then Ren Chengen also sacrificed a shield cart, a large cart filled with earth and stone sandbags, pushed it one by one under the city of Zhangpu as a cover.

After all, that thing is hard to penetrate even if it is hit by a cannon.

After making all arrangements, the Qing army in Fujian directly invested thousands of people to attack the Zhangpu city wall at one time.

Although the name of Jinzhangpu has been famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years, this place is a small county town after all.

Chen Jun took it without any effort.

So thousands of people launched an attack, and there were really many people.

As a result, the Chen Jun was easily repelled with a grenade.

The Qing army had not been able to hold on for an hour, leaving hundreds of corpses behind the fire and fleeing in a panic.

Chen Jun relied on his water surface advantage to continuously transport various materials to Zhangpu City.

Finally, even the cement and lime were delivered.

The defenders did not build fortresses outside the city, but instead strengthened the cannon positions at the top of the city - changing the cannons of earth, stone and sandbags into concrete fortresses outside.

A few heavy artillery fired on one city wall, and Chen's army was not panicked at all without the Qing army coming from all directions.

Regardless of day and night, the Qing army was defeated under the bombardment of heavy artillery.

They simply couldn't stand under the city.

The taste of cannon bombardment is not something that anyone can tolerate.

However, with the news that the capital surnamed Zhao Le came to the north, General Chang Qing of Fuzhou and Governor Fu Gang of Fujian and Zhejiang became fierce.

The Qing army launched a fierce attack from the south, west and north regardless of casualties.

The generals stationed in Zhangpu did not seek help from Yunxiao Hall at all. The 3,000 troops in their army, relying on the solid city walls and sufficient firepower, completely defeated the large-scale offensive of the Qing army. The Qing army suffered more than 3,000 casualties throughout the day, but no results were achieved. They could not even board the city of Zhangpu.

How to pedal?

There were grenades, guns, and conspiracy on the top. The Qing army had never been able to suppress the cannon towers on the city. They didn't even hold up a few ladders.

At night, Ren Chengen also recruited some healthy soldiers to attack at night. Haha, under the illumination of the illuminated (smoke) and (flower) bombs, each one should not be too clear.

Of course, it was still the end of running away with your head in your arms.

At this point, Ren Chengen used up his methods again, but there was no way.

Although they firmly surrounded Zhangpu City, the Chen army in the city was not panicked at all. They should eat and drink, and they would sing to the evening. Instead, the morale of the Qing army was depressed and many people were looking forward to withdrawing.

Because it doesn't work to surround the fundamental bird.

They had tried this method before, but the Chen army's troops rushed over and wanted to start a film with you. The Qing army in Fujian could not fight, but if they didn't fight, it would be a waste of effort.

Moreover, Chen Jun could also skip Zhangzhou to fight Quanzhou and Fuzhou.

Early this morning, a fleet of ships rushed straight to Xiamen.

The Qing army's extremely thin sea defense was useless.

Huang Shijian, the waterway admiral of Fujian Province, watched helplessly. After the fleet anchored at Xiamen Port and consolidated the foundation, the large group of people were sent to Haicheng by ships to land. Because Jiulong River was blocked by wooden rafts, Chen Jun's warship could not reach the city of Zhangzhou directly, so he could only go ashore in Haicheng.

The landing troops were about 10,000, half from Nanyang, and on the other side were soldiers recruited from the Taiwan Strait. The leader was Lin Shuangwen, who was only 30 years old.

From a senior official to Hainan and then back to a senior official, Lin Shuangwen's position was always a commander. However, he completed the transformation from a commander of a garrison division to a commander of a reorganized division.

There is no need to say much about the gap between this and everyone can understand it.

There are many reasons, two main aspects: one is to appease the Tiandihui and the locals. How many people there are important to promote, please let everyone see?

What's more, Lin Shuangwen's huge reputation and loyal brother's prestige are not fake.

The second is that Lin Shuangwen is successful.

For example, Zhuang Datian and Zhuang Xishe, which were previously on par with him, have become administrative officials, and they still manage farmland water conservancy. This is because he is irritable, cannot take into account the overall situation, nor can he consider the overall situation, and his vision is too narrow and the pattern is too small. Although he does not regard the division between Zhang and Quanzhou with Lin Cou and Chen Pan as much as the overall situation of the war, he can all see that he rejects Zhuang Xishe with vagueness.

In combat, if you cannot take the overall situation into consideration and unite people who should be united, it is impossible for him to achieve an important military position.

Zhuang Xishe made the same sense. But because he is the representative of Quanzhou people in the Tiandihui, he is still in the army, but he is the garrison division.

Qidian personally pressed the formation this time.

Tens of thousands of Chen Jun were full of three categories of cannons and insurgent supplies. There were more than fifty land war artillery pieces of more than five kilograms. Huang Shijian could not fight such troops even if he used his strength. Moreover, Ren Cheng'en was more concerned about the safety of Zhangzhou than Huang Shijian, because he was worried that the road was cut off from his back.

If that happens, he will be miserable.

Ren Chengen's 30,000 to 40,000 Qing troops were the main force of the Qing army in Fujian. If chaos arose because the retreat was cut off, the Qing army in Fujian would have to cultivate at least half a year.

So after hearing the news that a large number of Chen Jun landed in Haicheng, Ren Chengen knew that this battle could never be fought again.

Although tens of thousands of troops came to fight a small county guarded by three thousand defenders, they had been preparing for so long, but they only fought for three days, and had lost more than three thousand soldiers, and they would return without success. It can be said that they were extremely useless.

But Ren Chengen was not afraid either.

He has fought too many such junk battles in the past year.

Changqing and Fu Gang knew the quality of the generals in Fujian. Ren Chengen was quite useless, but others were not better than him. Not to mention that Ren Chengen was a native of Hedong Datong, he was much more trustworthy than others.

The Qing army withdrew from the city of Zhangpu without stopping and rushed to Zhangzhou with great strides.

Then it's time for them to defend the city.

Ren Chengen won’t go down and fight against Chen Jun.

Isn’t Chen Jun the only one who is in front of him? There are still tens of thousands of soldiers in the senior officials.

Once this side is stuck, the follow-up soldiers will come quickly, and the forces of both sides will be closer to the naked eye. The Qing army will be a big deal.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Qing army in Fujian, which had fought for more than a year, has also improved a lot compared to before.
