?In a large area seven or eight miles north of Yingde County, in the afternoon, the soldiers of the Ming Army had begun to enjoy drinking water, while the auxiliary soldiers were still busy cleaning the battlefield.

Looking down from the sky, corpses, blood, broken clothes, damaged weapons and randomly discarded flags and drums were like ink-stained brushes. It took a while for the distracted calligrapher to suddenly

Remembering that I hadn't finished writing this sentence yet, I started to express my enthusiasm towards the southwest again.

The battle started here, and Jingbiaohou Town was defeated by the Ming army. Subsequently, Jingbiao Youzhen did not hesitate to choose to flee under the leadership of Admiral Zhang Yong, and the Ming army achieved a miracle of defeating more with less. However, Guangdong Fu

Biao was busy chasing the defeated troops in Jingbiaohou Town, while Li Jianjie's cavalry was always held back by Wang Fuchen. Coupled with Wang Jinbao's desperate attack, the pursuit of the main force in Jingbiaohou Town by the guard Zuozhen was inevitably delayed too much.

, in the end, they only managed to deal with a small number of injured people who were inconvenient to move, and encircled the middle camp, leaving Zhang Yong alone to escape.

With the cooperation of Zhang Yong's well-organized troops, Wang Fuchen's side also cut off its tail to survive, leaving behind a group of cavalry who were not easy to reorganize. They cooperated with Zhang Yong and reluctantly withdrew from the battlefield.

.However, Li Jianjie, who had already become murderous, did not hold on this time and could only vent his anger on the other remnants of the Qing army.

The Qing army fled to the southwest, and Li Jianjie's cavalry pursued them for a while, but with the cooperation of Zhang Yong and Wang Fuchen, they withdrew without gaining any advantage.

However, at first glance, it seems that the Ming army did not achieve much results, especially Zhang Yong and Wang Fuchen were able to maintain a certain degree of order in their retreat. But in fact, the Qing army's economic standard Youzhen Zhongying camp was all surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army.

Not to mention, the killings during the battle, as well as the wounded soldiers of the Qing army who had difficulty escaping after the Ming army occupied the battlefield, were all captured by the Ming army, and the damage was enough to break the bones of a battalion of the Qing army in these two towns.

The tendons are broken.

The main force of the Qing army fled, and the Zhongying camp in Bibiaoyou Town was quickly surrounded by the Ming army. The guerrilla Wang Jinbao of the Zhongying camp shouted for a fierce battle. He was completely determined to fight to the death, and the same was true for his subordinates who had been ordered to do so for many years.

However, such bravery only delayed a little time. With the encirclement and attack of the Ming army, the middle camp soon fell into the end of the whole army being annihilated, with casualties and casualties, and so on. But it was Wang Jinbao.

, in the end, he actually dropped his weapons and said that he would let the Ming army handle them, hoping that the Ming army could treat his subordinates well.

"Wang Jinbao?"

"Fu Jun has heard of this name?"

"Well, I have a vague impression that he is Zhang Yong's confidant. I can't believe that even such a confidant is willing to cut off his tail to survive. Zhang Yong is quite a ruthless character."

After saying this to Xiao Gongchen in an understatement, Chen Kai vaguely remembered that Wang Jinbao would grow into a famous general in the Green Camp of the Qing Army in the future.

Historically, when the San Francisco Rebellion broke out seventeen years later, the governors and generals of the Qing army in Pingxi, Pingnan, and Jingnan provinces as well as Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other provinces raised their troops to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.

, once occupied nearly half of China. At the same time, Zheng Jing of Taiwan, the chieftain of Sichuan, and the princes of Chahar Mongolia also responded successively, and even the rebellion of Prince Zhu San broke out in the capital.

The Qing court was once pushed to the brink of subjugation, but the internal strength of the three vassals was incompetent and their strategic decisions were wrong, which gave the Qing army some breathing space. During the next eight years of the war to quell the chaos, the four generals in Hexi came out.

Wang Jinbao and his boss Zhang Yong are two of them.

"I even caught a fish."

In fact, not only Wang Jinbao was the only Qing general who was captured and killed. The guerrillas Zhao Liang and others in the town after passing through Biaohou had also been identified, and the rest of the garrison, Qian Zong, and Ba Zong were countless. However, these

Among the names, Chen Kai looked familiar to Wang Jinbao, and he even asked someone to bring him up.

Wang Jinbao was escorted by the Ming army and approached Chen Kai's horse. He stood with his head held high, as straight as a pen. When the two escorting Ming soldiers saw that he did not kneel, they were very angry. They looked at each other and immediately

After removing the scabbard, he swung it directly at the joints of Wang Jinbao's legs.

They used a lot of force. Although Wang Jinbao had this experience when he followed Zhang Yong to encircle and suppress the anti-Qing rebel army, but when his joints suffered such a heavy blow, he was also in pain, and he could not help but kneel directly on the ground, even

Because it was too sudden, he fell to the ground directly and started chewing mud like a standard dog.

"Lift this guy's head up. I want to take a good look at Zhang Yong's loyal dog."

When Chen Kai said this, the generals present naturally understood what he meant. When the Qing army collapsed, Wang Jinbao was good at riding and shooting, so it was not without the opportunity to abandon the army and abscond. However, at that time, he chose to lead his troops to the

Xiao Gongchen launched an even more fierce offensive. To put it bluntly, he was just trying to buy some time for Zhang Yong, who had single-handedly promoted him and had the kindness and support to him, in exchange for Zhang Yong and more Qing Dynasty.

The army fled the battlefield with vitality.

Wang Jinbao was locked under the chain of loyalty extended by Zhang Yong, and Zhang Yong had always promoted him, so it was understandable for him to do so. However, Wang Jinbao's behavior directly led to the reduction of the Ming army's results.

But it made Chen Kai very unhappy.

"You're very lucky. I've suddenly developed a hobby of collecting cards recently. If you have anything to do, I'll wait for the four of you to get it together."

He said the words with a smile, and then, with a wave of his hands, the two Ming soldiers directly picked him up and forced him away in another direction.

However, this rhythm is wrong. According to Wang Jinbao's estimation, he can sacrifice his life for the commander and fight to the death, and he can definitely bear the word of loyalty. According to the concept of this era, a general like him, even if it is an enemy country,

He will always gain the respect of his opponents. Wang Jinbao has never considered this issue. But logically speaking, he should persuade him at this time. He even thought about the sarcasm to refute Chen Kai, but Chen Kai

That it would be like this really confused him.

The water and wine before beheading were not mixed, and it seemed that Chen Kai had no intention of killing him. Wang Jinbao was dragged up by the Ming army and taken away, but his mind was still thinking about those "collecting cards" and the "four people".

"I am confused by the words of others - the former doesn't understand, but what does the latter mean? There are three guerrillas in Jingbiao You Town, and there are four admirals in Southwest Jingbiao, but he is just a guerrilla.

A general is not that high of a rank yet.

God knows what Chen Kai, who was always known for his cunning, was thinking about. At this moment, he suddenly had a chilling premonition.

"When the news spread, it was said that Wang Jinbao had been demoted, but there was a condition, that is, he would not fight Zhang Yong, so as not to break the relationship. So I decided to send him to Fujian to work for Guo Xingye. Well, that's all."

After solving the matter, Chen Kai's unhappiness immediately subsided a lot. Afterwards, the auxiliary troops cleaned up the battlefield, and the army went straight to Yingde County. After winning the battle, they established contact with the defenders there. Let Chen Kai Somewhat unexpectedly, while the Qing army sent troops to intercept him, the two alliance's southwest meridian markers, under the might of Hong Chengchou's banner, actually launched an attack on the city, which made the defenders in the city even notice. There seemed to be signs of fighting a few miles north of the city, but they didn't dare to go out of the city easily to find out. In other words, they didn't have the energy to do so.

The Ming army marched south in large numbers and headed to Yingde County to join the defenders. Soon, the siege force also called for gold and retreated. After receiving the retreating Qing army, they retreated directly to the main camp at Gukou.

To put it bluntly, the Ming army had more than 5,000 troops in the city, and less than 6,000 troops went south for reinforcements. Together they were no less than the Qing army’s tens of thousands. However, the word “powering the masses to overwhelm the few” has never been used in strategizing. It is not a derogatory term, but rather a complimentary term. It is used to praise the coach for being good at planning, taking advantage of the strength of the army, etc. Only when the crowd can overwhelm the minority and fail to win, will the true character be restored and transformed. becomes a derogatory term.

After returning to the camp at Yukou, Zhang Yong, Hu Maozhen, Wang Fuchen and the other generals who had escaped all knelt down in front of Hong Chengchou, banged their heads on the ground, and declared that they were guilty of death.

First, with the initial trial, the defenders were frightened, thus providing more convenient conditions for the subsequent siege and reinforcements. When the Ming army's reinforcements arrived, Southwest Meridian dispatched superior forces to intercept them, and at the same time attacked the city with partial divisions to contain the city. The defenders were unable to leave the city to respond, forming a pincer attack.

Hong Chengchou's strategy is well understood. Although there are not many amazing tricks in it, the goal has been achieved. The Qing army has indeed entered the battle with the Ming army with superior strength. However, Chen Kai's hands The trump card was beyond their expectations and wiped out Hong Chengchou's previous planning and all the Qing army's advantages in this battle.

"Get up, it's true that I have underestimated Chen Kai. He is an enemy of ten thousand people, but he actually used it for field battles. He is really a thoughtful guy."

This is not the first time. Shang Kexi and the others suffered losses last year, but battlefield observers were not popular in this era, and there were no reconnaissance planes to take photos or drones to record. The Qing troops who fled back had different opinions. The Changsha shogunate could not tell which statement was correct or closer to the truth.

Now that things have come to this day, they have indeed witnessed the truth, but they have also paid a price for it. The punishment for defeat is inevitable, but Hong Chengchou did not intend to put all the blame on these three commanders. The first battle was unfavorable. This is an indisputable fact, but Hong Chengchou did not have no backup plans. For him, the real climax stage has just begun.

"Go over the details of this battle with me again."

Even if he lost, he had to find out how he lost, even if he never turned this interception into a decisive battle from the beginning. Defeating Chen Kai's reinforcements and then occupying Yingde County was never his fundamental purpose.

However, Chen Kai's threat was far greater than he imagined, so he needed to put more effort into it.

Next, Zhang Yong, Hu Maozhen, and Wang Fuchen reenacted the battle from their own perspectives. In Hong Chengchou's mind, the battle was replayed, and every move of the Ming and Qing armies was recorded. After a long time, Hong Chengchou

He nodded, indicating that he understood what was going on, and said something faintly.

"Ten thousand enemies, spear array, shield array...Li Jianjie, Xiao Gongchen, Lin Dezhong...Chen Kai used the cards in his hand well."

It's not about how good the cards are, but how cleverly they are used. Putting aside the tactics, among Chen Kai's three commanders in this battle, Xiao Gongchen is the chief general under Zheng Hongkui, but Zheng Hongkui's troops are only that.

With thousands of people, Xiao Gongchen's abilities may have an advantage over ordinary generals. For example, when Wang Jinbao launched the final fierce attack in this battle, Xiao Gongchen knew exactly what he should do at that time without any hesitation.

, but then they did not adjust their deployment and used the Zuo Xie near Fubiao, Guangdong to pursue, but chose to encircle them. This allowed the Qing army to escape more of the troops, which could only be regarded as making no mistakes, but it did not

It's just such a stunning ending.

As for the other two people, Lin Dezhong, whether within the Ming army or in the intelligence of the Qing army, was just a middle-aged man. He was more loyal to Chen Kai. And Li Jianjie was just Li Chengdong's godson at the time.

Hu Maozhen and others have never taken it seriously, but now they have grown a lot, so much so that Wang Fuchen did nothing from the beginning to the end. However, they also failed to defeat Wang Fuchen and threatened the Qing army before the grenadier attack.

flank.

In comparison, Zhang Yong and Hu Maozhen under his command are both famous generals in the green camp. Wang Fuchen's martial arts and bravery were also famous in the world. In terms of configuration, his Southwest Meridian is definitely much more luxurious than the Ming army.

Yes, but this battle was still lost, and it was clearly defeated.

Hong Chengchou muttered to himself, and suddenly regretted not personally commanding the troops to compete with Chen Kai. However, this regret only lasted for a moment. He had always been very clear about his own position.

, In this battle, he himself existed in Yingde County, and still maintained his sense of presence in the Southwest Strategy. As long as the Ming army could not expel him from Yingde County, or even just from the Beijiang basin.

, this is enough.

"The whole army moved to the south bank of Huangshui River."

The interception failed, the field battle failed, and the troops that invaded Guangdong's Southwest Passage were lost. However, Hong Chengchou did not directly withdraw to the three counties of Lianshan. He only retreated across the Huangshui River and turned to confront the Ming army across the river. This is a very abnormal situation.
