Chapter 60 The Unexpected Battle Situation (1)

Li Chengdong did not dare to make his own decisions. He was ordered to reinforce Jiujiang. The emperor did not explain how he should do after the city of Jiujiang was destroyed. He had to stay in the camp and send someone to report quickly to the rear. Fortunately, their camp had not been transferred yet, so there was no need to set up camp again. However, strengthening the camp was inevitable.

Seeing his reinforcements, Huang Binqing's troops were relieved. This time, less than 2,000 government troops escaped with Huang Binqing, Huang Binqing couldn't help but sigh, if the reinforcements arrived one day early, why would Jiujiang have lost? Of course, he was just thinking about it. Now he is the army of defeated generals, how dare he accuse Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong thought that since he saw Huang Binqing, there would definitely be pursuers behind him, so he ordered his subordinates to wait for the battle, but until noon, he did not even see the shadow of the pursuers.

In order to fear that Zuo Liangyu's naval army would intercept him, Wang Fu led his army to abandon the boat and landed on the shore. He did not walk on the waterway. It took several days to transport various materials alone. Wang Fu had just received the news of the fall of Jiujiang and had just been dozens of miles away from Anqing. Wang Fu did not think about it and immediately ordered the rear team to change to the front team, the front team turned into the back team. The army turned a direction and returned to Anqing, and sent someone to send an order to let Li Chengdong return to Anqing as well.

Although Wang Fu intended to fight Zuo Liangyu in Jiujiang, since Jiujiang was in trouble, Wang Fu certainly would not let him touch the city. Anyway, time is temporarily in his hands, so it is okay to transfer the battlefield to Anqing.

It took a whole day to return to Anqing with the army. Two days later, Li Chengdong and Huang Binqing also came back. Wang Fu did not punish Huang Binqing for the fall of Jiujiang. Huang Binqing and Yuan Jixian were guarding Jiujiang for more than ten days without any contribution and hard work. When he heard that Yuan Jixian refused to escape and wanted to die with the city, Wang Fu was moved. In his image, there were very few civil and military officials who could die in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wang Fu originally thought that Zuo Liangyu would attack Anqing quickly after capturing Jiujiang. At that time, he would be in a strong city and wait for his work. It would not be difficult to defeat Zuo Liangyu. Unexpectedly, after waiting for five or six days, Zuo Liangyu stopped moving in Jiujiang. Now, it was Wang Fu's turn to be calm. Although it was not good for Zuo Liangyu to continue stalemate, Wang Fu also had no time to waste Zuo Liangyu. Otherwise, after fighting for several months, when the Qing army headed south, it would only be useless for the Qing people.

A large number of spies from the Jinyiwei rushed to Jiujiang City, trying to find out why Zuo Liangyu's army was not moving, but Jiujiang City was very cautious and the gate was closed during the day. It was only one hour each day for the opening time of the city. Although the spies from the Jinyiwei got in, no news was found.

After waiting for several days, Wang Fu no longer had the patience to wait. The Manchus were cold and not heat-resistant. In fact, after entering Beijing in May, the Tatars had not sent Wu Sangui to pursue Li Zicheng, and their own army had been huddling in Beijing without moving. Even Shandong and Henan had not sent troops to occupy it. It was because the weather was hot that many Manchus were not adapted to the land and land, which delayed. The weather problem has always been a major problem for the northern ethnic groups to enter the Central Plains.

In September, even the weather in the south will gradually cool down. This season is the time for high and fat autumn, which is suitable for northern ethnic groups to enter the south to fight. The mangrove army will definitely not wait too long.

Wang Fu sent Li Chengdong to Jiujiang City with 5,000 cavalry quickly. Of course, these 5,000 cavalry were not siege cities. They did not carry siege equipment. However, Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops could not all live in the city. They set up a large camp outside the city, one left and one right, each camp was a large camp with more than ten miles of soldiers and more than one hundred thousand soldiers.

Li Chengdong was also very cautious about the outside military camp. He first sent a thousand cavalry to approach the rebels' left camp carefully. Once the enemy went to fight, his army would immediately take back.

The team led by Li Chengdong's adopted son Li Yuanyin. Li Yuanyin is famous for his courage. Although he only led a thousand cavalry this time, he was not afraid of the Zuoying camp. He rushed out of the camp dozens of steps and fired rockets in front of the camp. Soon, part of the camp tents of the Zuoying camp were ignited, and the flames soared into the sky. The rebels were shocked and put out the fires, causing chaos.

The rebels were not blind. They had already seen Li Yuanyin's thousand cavalry, but they did not expect that they would dare to rush outside the camp to set fire. They ignored it for a while and caused such consequences. Several rebel generals were angry, so they opened the camp gate and led their subordinates to pounce on Li Yuanyin.

Seeing tens of thousands of people rushing towards him, Li Yuanyin was about to escape with his subordinates, but he found that the rebels who came out of the camp were in order, and the infantry and cavalry were mixed together, and the cavalry had no motivation at all. Li Yuanyin immediately changed his mind, plucked out his long sword, and shouted: "Brothers, it's time to make achievements, rush."

"Run!" Li Yuanyin was stupid and bold, and his subordinates were the same. A thousand cavalry followed Li Yuanyin and rushed towards more than 10,000 rebels who left the camp.

Several rebel generals thought that the other party would be scared away as soon as they left the camp. They did not expect that the other party would dare to retaliate against him. They were so anxious that they shouted desperately, wanting to free the cavalry from the infantry to meet the enemy, but it was too late. Before their cavalry could move, Li Yuanyin had already led his army to kill and swept through the rebel flanks, as if a knife was into tofu. In just one round, the rebels on the periphery fell to the ground one after another, and Li Yuanyin cut a large piece. At least hundreds of rebels fell under the sword of Li Yuanyin's army.

"Run again!" Li Yuanyin turned his horse's head and rushed towards the rebels again.

Seeing the government army rushing towards him with a long sword with a flashing cold light, the blood of his companions dripping on the tip of the knife, the rebels outside were shocked and squeezed desperately into the middle. The soldiers in the middle were squeezed into a group, unable to move, and they tried desperately to squeeze out. Tens of thousands of rebels were crowded like sardines, crowded in a dense group, allowing the outside government troops to gradually erode and make no counterattack at all.

"Kill!" Li Yuanyin and his cadre were extremely excited. They had never fought such an easy battle. The other party was like rows of wooden stakes, allowing them to chop and kill them. Every time they moved, the other party would fall down a large area.

"Run." I don't know who was the rebels shouted first. The rebels behind woke up like dreams, gave up the formation that squeezed into a sardine-like formation, and ran to the camp gate first. Since the queue could not protect itself, of course, I could not wait for death in vain. In the moment, the sardine-like rebels scattered around and ran towards the camp gate.
