Yanping Mansion in Fujian, south of the Fucheng Nanping, on the east bank of the Min River.More than 30,000 Zheng soldiers reversed the Min River and quickly advanced to the northeast.Zheng Chenggong went to Jiangxi and left Zheng Hongkui to stay in Fujian.In the past six months, Zheng Chenggong has been fighting in Jiangxi, and Zheng Hongkui has raised military funds and has also gone to peace.He thought that Fujian was mountainous, the road into Fujian, and the Xiongguan Pass was guarded, so it would not be affected by the war, but he didn't want to suddenly receive an urgent report, saying that the Han army had broken through Xianxia Pass and invaded Fujian on a large scale.When Zheng Hongkui heard the news, he immediately gathered his troops and horses and rushed to Yanping and Jianning, wanting to block the Han army in the Wuyi Mountains and prevent the Han army from coming in.At this time, a small number of cavalry, galloping in front, for the army to open their eyes, the brigade of armored soldiers, against the Min River, the battle flag fluttering in the wind, transporting artillery, military supplies, stretching for several miles, extremely spectacular.Zheng Hongkui rode on his horse, looked at the army, and urged without listening: "Run, before dark, you must rush to Nanping!"
”After that, Jiulong Mountain at the junction of Fuzhou and Yanping Mansion, passing through Cangxia, is a narrow river valley plain in front.Compared with the undulating Wuyi Mountains, the terrain here is relatively flat, which means that there is no danger and support in the wilderness, and once you encounter the enemy army and encounter a field battle, there will be no favorable terrain to rely on.Therefore, Zheng Hongkui urged the army to speed up and rush to Nanping for the night.Nanping is located at the confluence of the Min River and Puxi, the Han army wants to enter the hinterland, must march along the Puxi River Valley, Zheng Jun only needs to rush to Nanping, the exit of the Puxi River Valley, can borrow the terrain to block the Han army."
Report!"
A horse came at a gallop.At this time, Zheng Hongkui was urging the soldiers, and when he saw a horse running against the flow of people, he ran to him, flew off his horse, and reported urgently, "Guogong, a large number of routs have been found in front of you, and they are fleeing here." ”Zheng Hongkui was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How far is it from the front army?"
Whose flag?
”"Less than ten miles away from the front army, there is no flag, and they flee in panic, it should be the rout of Jianning and Nanping, all over the mountains, uncountable!"
The scout gasped in reply."
Less than ten miles?"
Zheng Hongkui's face sank, and he couldn't help but look at the marching procession that stretched for several miles, and was silent for a while.The rout fled in panic, and the flags were lost, indicating that the enemy army behind was in a hurry, and it may be behind the rout.At such a close distance, it is too late to retreat, and it is easy to turn into a rout, being covered by the enemy, and with so much baggage, it is impossible to retreat.Zheng Hongkui immediately roared angrily, "Command the army, form a formation on the spot!"
”So far, Zheng Hongkui only knows that the Han army has entered Fujian, but it is not clear how many soldiers and horses there are.Because the Zheng army in front was defeated too quickly, and when it met the Han army's forward, it was defeated, and I didn't know how many Han troops there were behind.However, judging from the offensive of the Han army, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands.The military order flew and the horn sounded, and the advancing Zheng soldiers, the forward hurriedly stopped and formed a formation on the spot, while the soldiers behind rushed forward to make up for the vacancy.At this time, the shield bearers of the Zheng family formed a shield array in front, and the pikemen put their spears on their shields, and muskets and bows and arrows gathered behind.For a while, the shield bearer in the front row of Zheng Jun was like a dam, blocking the soldiers behind, and the water in the dam was getting fuller and fuller, and the soldiers were gathering more and more.Just as the soldiers were hurriedly arrayed, on the wilderness ahead, the defeated soldiers who had lost their armor came all over the mountains and rushed towards the Zheng family, who were still nervously arrayed.When the soldiers of Zheng in the formation saw this, they couldn't help but stir, and the front wavered.If this is allowed to be collided with by the rout, the army will be destroyed in no time."
Steady!"
Zheng Hongkui roared loudly, "Release the arrow!"
”The rout soldiers who fled in the wilderness poured down like mercury, and when they saw the Zheng army in front, they ran directly over.At this moment, a rain of arrows came and landed in front of him, so startled that the routs hurriedly scattered towards the two wings.Behind the rout, countless Han soldiers marched forward with muskets in layers.At this time, Zhao Ming, who was wearing gold armor, was standing at a high place, with three thousand cuirass behind him, holding a long lance and a saber, and Le Ma was standing behind him.After Wang Xian and Yan Ermei attacked Xianxia Pass, the 10,000 Zheng troops in Pucheng, under the leadership of the general Lan Deng, rushed to Xianxia Pass, intending to recapture the pass.10,000 Zheng troops and 5,000 elite Han troops fought fiercely at Xianxia Pass, and at this time Zhao Ming led 150,000 troops to arrive, Lan Deng was wounded and captured, and 10,000 Zheng troops were dispersed.Since then, along the way, it has been lackluster.In the face of the 150,000 infantry of the Han army, the Zheng army in Pucheng, Jianyang, Jian'ou, and Nanping was about to collapse at the first touch, and the Han army drove the rout all the way to Fuzhou."
Your Highness, there is Zheng Jun blocking the road ahead, do you want to stop the formation?"
Wang Yi asked.Zhao Ming's eyes jumped over the heads of the rout, and when he saw the Zheng army hurriedly lined up in front of him, he sneered, tightened the reins and said: "The elite of the Zheng army went to Ganzhou, and the soldiers who stayed in Fujian were just some miscellaneous soldiers.Why stop!
”Zhao Ming waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Command the army, with one blow, the artillery team will bombard, the cavalry will cover and kill, and the infantry will follow up and clean up the battlefield!"
”When Wang Yi heard this, he smiled and clenched his fists, "The minister takes the order!"
”On the top of the mountain, the horn of the Chinese army sounded.The artillery team marching in the wilderness should be raised, Wang Dana took out the clairvoyant mirror, observed it for a while, and immediately waved his hand to the left front, "Occupy that hill and arrange the artillery array!"
”A cavalry directly under the artillery team immediately rushed up the slope, then turned over and dismounted, some were on guard with guns, and some took off shovels and other tools from the saddle, leveled the ground, dug artillery pits, and quickly built an artillery array.At the same time, the two rounds of brass cannons drawn by the war horse quickly climbed up the hill.In the first battle of Gaizhou, the Han army defeated tens of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian elite cavalry, captured tens of thousands of war horses, and the Han army was able to reorganize the cavalry, and the artillery team and engineers also received a large number of war horses.At this time, Zheng Jun's forward had just lined up the military formation, Zheng Hongkui was riding on his horse, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a forest of shields and spears in front of him, like a forest of steel and stabbing obliquely.At this moment, on the hill ahead, clouds of white smoke suddenly rose, and then the sound of "boom, boom, boom" came from the cannon.Zheng Hongkui looked at it suddenly, only to see nearly a hundred shells, whistling out of the gunsmoke, shooting at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.With a muffled sound of "bang~", the shield shattered, and the soldiers and soldiers behind him didn't have time to scream, and their bodies were torn apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist and minced flesh that exploded, splashing the blood of the surrounding soldiers."
Ah~" screams of sorrow and horror rang out.Seeing that his comrades around him were torn to pieces, and the soldiers of Zheng who were covered with blood, they roared in horror, and the cannonballs tore apart the shield soldiers, and the power was undiminished, and smashed over behind the shield soldiers, a string of soldiers with spears, the cannonballs touched it, the stumps flew around, and the soldiers who were smashed off their arms and legs fell to the ground and wailed, roaring bitterly.Hundreds of shells smashed in, like ploughing the ground, plowing the front of the Zheng army, plowing out gaps one after another.Seeing this, Zheng Hongkui was terrified!
Since Zheng Jun expelled the Qing army from Fujian, it has not experienced a vicious war for several years, and his tactics and perception of the cruelty of war have gradually fallen behind."
Steady!
Fill the gap!
The artillery team counterattacks!
”Zheng Hongkui tightened his restless horse and roared angrily.At this time, Sergeant Zheng stepped on the minced meat and corpses and hurriedly filled the vacancy.At this moment, the second round of artillery bombardment of the Han army struck again, and the terrible and frightened sound sounded again, and the military formation was plowed out in a straight line.On the hill, when Zhao Ming saw this, he pulled out his golden knife and pointed forward, "The Xiao cavalry battalion is attacking!"
”The horse army, which had already been unable to hold back, suddenly roared, and three thousand cavalry roared down the hillside and rushed towards the Zheng army's large array like a wall.At the same time, the Han army marched in formation, holding muskets, following the cavalry, pressing like the enemy.Artillery bombardment, cavalry raids, infantry follow-up harvests, clearing the battlefield.The Han army has three axes, like flowing water.When the Zheng army formed a formation, it was hit by artillery everywhere, and the front was shaken.At this time, before the Zheng soldiers had time to fill the gap, they saw thousands of cavalry swarming over, and the cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion, with the uniform snow plate armor on their chests, waved the horse army, and galloped forward with a roar, and the cavalry in the front actually held a horse lance eight feet long, which was suffocating.The cavalry was followed by the infantry, ankle-length gray military coats, all flintlock muskets with bayonets, bayonets pointed obliquely, the cold light flashed, they did not run, but walked forward step by step with firm steps, followed by the cavalry, pressed forward, the majesty of the tiger and wolf division, overwhelming.In the Zheng army's large array, the sound of "bang-bang" muskets rang out, not shooting, but frightened.Zheng Hongkui looked at it in horror, the soldiers in front of the Zheng army were in a panic, and the enemy army had not yet rushed into battle, as if they had broken the embankment, and they retreated and fled."
Steady!"
Zheng Hongkui's eyes widened angrily, and he roared again and again, "Retreat and slash!"
”Zheng Sergeant's hand trembled, holding the spear, the cuirassier had already rushed up, the eight-foot horse lance was longer than the Zheng army's spear, and the Zheng army's spear head had not yet stabbed the Han cavalry, and the body was stabbed by the horse lance, pushing the hind legs, knocking down the spearmen behind, and the front collapsed instantly.()
