After hearing the report, Xu Qingyan couldn't help but cursed with a vulgar curse.
While cursing, Xu Qingyan turned around and glared at Liu Huaiyuan, thinking that Liu Huaiyuan was extremely incompetent. He had been the chief officer of the Jiangfang Camp for two or three years, and he still had no control over the officers and soldiers under his command!
Seeing that Jin Gentry's servants and the grain gang were about to rush to their own formation, Jiang Fangying actually chose this critical moment to "remain neutral"...
How is this neutrality? It is clearly betrayal in battle!
Noticing Xu Qingyan's scolding gaze, Liu Huaiyuan turned pale and explained in a trembling voice: "You can't blame me for this matter! I have already said that Jiang Fangying has allowed the Jin gentry to infiltrate to the end! In fact, they are just maintaining their position at this time.
Being neutral and not rebelling on the battlefield, taking the initiative to kidnap us and send them to the Jin gentry on the opposite side is already an act of benevolence! Brother Xu, let’s surrender, we can’t fight these Jin gentry!”
After saying that, Liu Huaiyuan turned to look at his confidants, obviously wanting to arrange the surrender.
But before Liu Huaiyuan could formally speak, Xu Qingyan kicked him to the ground!
"Surrender? Surrender!" Xu Qingyan roared sternly, with a ferocious face: "Where is the Zhao Mansion's Protectorate? You are now supervising the battle team! Run to the rear of our army immediately and urge the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Camp who control ordnance to immediately obey orders and join the battle! If Jiangfang
The officers and soldiers of the battalion still want to be 'neutral'...then kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The nursing staff of the Zhao Mansion are all used to big scenes, so they had no intention of panicking at this time.
The offensive of the Jin gentry's slaves and the Lianggang gang seems to be mighty, but in the end it is just a ragtag group. Even if the enemy is outnumbered, they are sure to protect Xu Qingyan from the battlefield safely.
Therefore, after hearing Xu Qingyan's order, the guards of the Zhao Mansion all accepted the order in a deep voice and quickly turned around and left.
Just a moment later, Xu Qingyan heard several screams coming from behind his own military formation. Apparently, the guards of the Zhao Mansion were enforcing military law.
The officers and soldiers of the Jiang Fang camp are all cowardly people. They are not only cowardly enemies of the Jin gentry forces, but also cowardly enemies of the Zhaofu guards. After all, they were completely defeated by the Zhaofu guards not long ago, so the Zhao guards
The hospital quickly stabilized the situation in the rear and forced the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion to start manipulating catapults, crossbows, strong bows and other ordnance in an attempt to suppress the attack of the Jin gentry forces.
Seeing that the Zhaofu Nursing Home quickly stabilized the situation, Xu Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt unsafe, so he took out a loud arrow from his arms and held it tightly in his hand, ready for use at any time.
*
After a series of unexpected events and delays, the Jin Gentry slaves and grain gang members rushed more than a hundred feet away from the Jiang Fang camp's defense line.
Seeing that the Jiang Fang camp had not used catapults, crossbows, strong bows and other weapons to suppress their own offensive, Zhang Bao, Du Yuande and Wang Jiahe, who were commanding the charge from the rear, all looked happy.
"Ha! I know that although the officers and soldiers of the Jiang Fang Camp are usually willing to follow Liu Huaiyuan's command, their actual positions must be on both sides, and they cannot really follow Liu Huaiyuan to fight to the death with us! In addition, I said last night
Someone has been sent to contact them secretly, which is both inducement and coercion. It is natural for them to rebel in the face of battle! As long as the threat of ordnance is lost, the resistance will of other Jiangfang camp officers and soldiers will be greatly weakened. We have a clear numerical advantage.
It will definitely be a complete victory!"
Zhang Bao laughed out loud, feeling extremely proud.
Du Yuande also sneered and said: "This is natural! Although the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion are nominally under Liu Huaiyuan, as long as their families still live in Jiangnan, they must be more or less attached to them.
When the time comes for the Jin gentry and us to actually meet each other in war, how can they dare to do everything possible?"
Wang Jiahe looked like a madman, shouting: "Come forward! Everyone rush forward! As long as Liu Huaiyuan and Gu Xiqing are captured alive, I will be rewarded! I will kill them with my own hands to avenge Zheng'er! For Zheng'er!"
Take revenge!"
However, just when these three people thought they had a chance to win, under the ruthless suppression of the Zhao Mansion Guards, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion who controlled various ordnances finally obeyed their orders.
Seeing that the Jin Gentry slaves and the grain gang were about to hit the defense line of Jiang Fang Camp, the catapults, crossbows, strong bows and other powerful weapons behind Jiang Fang Camp's military formation began to take effect one after another.
In an instant, hundreds of gravels, more than a hundred arrows, and two or three giant crossbow arrows sparsely landed on the heads of the Jin Gentry slaves and grain gang members, causing a small number of casualties.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bao couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that Jiang Fang camp stabilized the situation at the critical moment and launched a counterattack. It should be because the commander of the other party responded properly and made prompt decisions.
For the Jin gentry forces, the threat of ordnance such as catapults, crossbows, and strong bows was too great. If these ordnance were allowed to work, no matter how large their numerical advantage was, they might not be able to break through the defense line of Jiang Fang Camp.
But the next moment, Zhang Bao discovered something fishy!
Although the Jiang Fang camp has now begun to use catapults, crossbows, strong bows and other ordnance in an attempt to suppress its own offensive, the attack density is extremely low, the accuracy is extremely poor, and the casualties caused to our own side are even negligible!
Obviously, although the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion who controlled the ordnance were forced to participate in the war for some reason, they were unwilling after all. Therefore, they deliberately slacked off after participating in the war, secretly letting go, and did not use their full strength at all!
In this way, as long as the servants of the Jin gentry and the elite grain gangs are a little bolder, willing to endure negligible casualties, grit their teeth and charge forward for a few dozen feet, this battle will be considered won!
Thinking of this, Zhang Bao shouted an order: "Let brothers continue to charge forward! Don't worry about those catapults and crossbow arrows, they won't..."
However, Zhang Bao's speech was only halfway through when it came to an abrupt end.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion are all incompetent troops, these domestic slaves, tenants, long-term workers, and grain workers summoned by the Jin gentry forces
Gangbangzhong and so on are just a bunch of rabble.
At any time, don’t expect anything from the crowd!
Those Jin Gentry slaves and grain gangs who were charging into the battle saw that the Jiang Fang camp began to use various types of ordnance to suppress their own offensive. Most of them were uncontrollably frightened, and then heard several injuries around them.
After the screams that followed, they turned around and ran away without hesitation!
Although there are a small number of backbones of the Jin Shen Nursing Home and the Food Gang, who are Lao Jianghu who are good at fighting and brave, and want to continue to charge forward, but since the vast majority of people have turned around and fled, these people can only be coerced.
In the end, the Jin Gentry's seemingly massive attack ended hastily.
When the Jiang Fang camp and the Jin gentry forces were confronting each other, the defense lines on both sides were only three miles apart. When the strong men under the Jin gentry forces were attacking and charging, such a short journey actually took more than a stick of incense. It was said that
Charging into battle was actually like an old man taking a walk, but when they turned around and fled, they returned to their starting point in less than half a stick of incense. It can be said that their leg strength was greatly improved!
What's even more ridiculous is that when these people decided to risk their lives and run away, they were only twenty feet away from Jiang Fang Camp's defense line. With just a little more strength, they could directly break through Jiang Fang Camp's defense line, and they
The trampling casualties caused when turning around and running away were far higher than the casualties caused by the various types of ordnance of the Jiangfang Camp!
Seeing this situation, Zhang Bao was going crazy!
Therefore, Zhang Bao immediately sent people to find dozens of Jin Gentry slaves and grain gang members who had taken the lead in escaping. He hung these cowards up and beat them severely in front of everyone.
After the cowards who took the lead in escaping were beaten half to death, and the rest of the Jin Gentry slaves and grain gangs saw the lesson, Zhang Bao finally calmed down his anger a little, so he took the time to organize his team again and prepare for the next round.
Second attack.
This time, Zhang Bao finally paid a little more attention and selected a group of the most courageous and capable backbones of the Jinshen Nursing Institute and Lianggang as the forwards. He also arranged a supervising team at the rear to ensure that the attack was orderly to the greatest extent and would not look like
The last attack was generally ridiculous.
At the same time, Du Yuande and Wang Jiahe were finally willing to spend a sum of money to boost the morale of their men.
As a result, the next attack by the Jin gentry forces will inevitably be more powerful and more resilient.
On the other side, the situation in Jiangfang Camp was even worse.
Although Xu Qingyan temporarily stabilized the situation and forced the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Battalion to obey orders and join the battle by using the Zhaofu Nursing Home as the supervisor of the battle team, in order to suppress the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Camp as soon as possible, the Zhaofu Nursing Home used ruthless tactics when supervising the battle.
Killed seven or eight officers and soldiers who refused to obey orders, including one from Jiangfang Camp!
As a result, the officers and soldiers of the Jiangfang Camp seemed to be willing to obey the command, but their morale was also in chaos, their morale was low, and their resentment towards Xu Qingyan and the Zhaofu guards became even stronger.
He noticed that the officers and soldiers of the Jiang Fang Camp around him were secretly observing him with sinister eyes. Even a despicable villain like Xu Qingyan who didn't care about other people's opinions couldn't help but be secretly frightened!
Obviously, when the Jin gentry forces attack next, the officers and soldiers of Jiang Fang Camp will most likely mutiny!
Even if there is no mutiny, Xu Qingyan and Zhao Fuyuan are likely to be stabbed in the back.
Throughout the ages, the use of supervising combat teams to force officers and soldiers to work hard has often resulted in this result!
After wanting to get here and seeing that the Jin gentry forces had organized their troops again and were about to launch a second attack, Xu Qingyan gritted his teeth and finally threw out the loud arrow in his hand.
As the sounding arrow took off into the sky, a sharp whistle resounded throughout the world.
After a while, the three Jinshen cargo ships seized by the Jiangfang camp began to move slowly along the shore and rammed straight into the Jinshen force's fleet!
If it was just an ordinary collision, it would be nothing more. What is even more terrifying is that halfway through, these three cargo ships lit up with flames and turned into three fire ships!
Once these three fire ships are allowed to collide with the Jin Gentry's fleet, it will inevitably trigger a chain reaction. The more than twenty ships that the Jin Gentlemen rushed here may be affected. As the fire spreads
perish together!
The most frightening thing is that, except for Du Yuande and Wang Jiahe, the representatives of the other Jin gentry families are hiding on the ships to watch the battle. If they are hit by a fire ship, there will definitely be heavy casualties!
Unlike those descendants of the Jin gentry who were detained by the Jiangfang camp, who were all marginal figures, and unlike those tenant farmers and long-term workers who charged into the battle, whose lives were worthless, these representatives of the Jin gentry family who were hiding on the boat watching the battle were all core figures in the Jiangnan Jin gentry circle.
No one dares to ignore their life safety!
Therefore, after seeing such a terrifying scene, Zhang Bao, Du Yuande, and Wang Jiahe were all so frightened that they no longer bothered to organize men to attack the Jiangfang camp. They all hurriedly sent people to rescue the Jin gentry, or
Either control the ship to avoid it, or rescue the gentry from the ship.
In the end, more than half an hour later, under Zhang Bao's command and rescue, most of the Jin gentry were safe and sound. Only a highly respected elder of the Zhang family in Suzhou was missing, and a direct descendant of the Bai family in southern Ganxi escaped.
I broke my arm in too much haste.
At the same time, most of the ships also avoided the fire ship collision in time. Only two ships were unable to avoid and were hit head-on by the fire ship. Then they were affected by the fire and ignited a raging fire. Although Zhang Bao also sent people
Try your best to put out the fire, but there is a high probability that the damage will be irreversible.
After such a delay and torment, the gentry and the thousands of men under their command were exhausted, and their second attack ended in vain.
Facing Jiang Fangying's unscrupulous tactics and fierce determination, the gentry were not only frightened, but also furious. They did not care about the exhaustion of their own troops after repeated hardships, and immediately organized their troops to launch a third attack, vowing to destroy Jiangfang Camp.
Catch them all in one go!

But at this critical moment, a large army slowly appeared at the junction of Nanjing and Jiangsu.
At the same time, a group of 500 cavalrymen quickly inserted themselves between the Jiangfang camp and the Jin gentry forces, shouting loudly for both sides to cease fighting.
Finally, another force came to an end and decided to intervene in the conflict between the Jiang Fang camp and the Jin gentry forces.
However, when the leader of this force made such a decision, he was not willing to do so. He now only feels that he has been fooled!
Huang Yourong, the elder of Qiange and the current governor of Southern Zhili, was leading the army in a sedan chair with eight carriages.
When he opened the sedan curtain and saw the confrontation between the Jiang Fang camp and the Jin gentry forces from a distance, he couldn't help but look extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Zhao Junchen! I regard you as an ally, and I treat you with all my heart.
But you actually regard me as a chess piece and use it at will! When this matter comes to an end, I will definitely not be done with you!"
