Chapter 221 Jiangnan Camp

Benniu Town.

"The six armies cried and all wretched, and they were angry and turned to the beauty. The beauty was not my desolation, and the thief died in the deserted feast.

The pen of a literati and the mouth of a slut, I believe you!

It is obvious that a traitor whitewashed a traitor, but he can turn into a tragic love that has been passed down through the ages. Mr. Wang feels inferior to himself!"

Marshal Yang sighed like a snoring.

Well, this is Chen Yuanyuan’s hometown, but Chen Yuanyuan definitely didn’t have it at this time, and even her mother might not have been born.

I have to say that the importance of this right to speak is.

It is clearly the traitor who was named the traitor of the Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the Left Prince of the Qing Dynasty, and was listed as the traitor of the traitors who were appointed by the Emperor Laogou. In order to whitewash their group, they blamed the responsibility for the destruction of the world to the whitewashing poem written by Li Zicheng. Because it was well written, it turned into a love legend that has been passed down through the ages.

Ah, bah!

"Master General, the enemy troops in Menghe City have attacked!"

Feng Shan hurriedly walked out to interrupt the handsome man's excitement.

This town is a strategic location and is also the only place where the enemy troops in Changzhou retreat to the city wall.

Benniu Town belongs to the canal wharf, and to the north is Mengdu and directly connect to the Yangtze River. Menghe City is guarded by Peng Guoguang, the main force under his command is Huaiyang soldiers. After all, he wants to block the Red Turban Army and expand into Taizhou, so Bi Maokang, the commander of the Huaiyang Army in Jingkou, distributed a thousand musketeers to him.

In addition, there were 10,000 troops recruited by the Changzhen General Army headquarters.

To the south of Benniu is the Biandan River. This river that leads directly to Baihe River and meets Baihe River. Finally, the waterway can directly connect to Danjinli Cao River and go to Jintan. This is equivalent to forming a triangular river barrier east and south of Benniu.

Moreover, these are dredged year-round and are specially used for inland shipping. Although the river surface is not wide, the river water is deep enough.

Dong Chengqi, the general of Langshan Town, who escaped from Danyang, was on the east side of Mengdu.

Moreover, the Governor Liu Yuanlin, the Jiangnan camp, has already visited the front line in person. He has 30,000 Zhejiang soldiers in his hand, under the command of the Zhejiang General, and the Changjie Army of the Zhejiang Provincial Army, which is 10,000, all musketeers, and cooperate with the Zhejiang General's headquarters on the battlefield. The Changsheng Army, who had originally fled Jintan, and Peng Shaoxian's troops, also attacked from Jintan and were ready to attack Yang Feng's rear at any time.

Of course, it's just anytime.

After all, behind Yang Feng is a huge 200,000 militiamen.

Everyone is very idle during this slack season, so follow Yang Dashuai to parade with his armed forces!

Zhenjiang, Danyang, Jurong, and even Wujin locals, and some of the Jintan areas, whether they have completed militia or are purely spontaneous, anyway, they are all a family. The Red Turban Army in the world is just a few dozen miles away. Those without weapons carry farm tools, and those with boats carry small boats, and those with ten miles to rush to the temple fair.

There are crowds of people from the entire Danyang to the ox.

Not to mention men, those shrews are happily carrying clothes and pestles...

What's wrong with the pounding pestle?

The shrews in Nanjing also use pounding pestles, fixing a triangular nail on the head of the pounding pestle, and even the plate armor will be used for you to wear.

The shrew is fierce!

In short, the current situation is that General Yang has 200,000 troops coming to Mengdu.

His opponents can be said to be the entire Jiangnan camp of Hongguang. Liu Yuanlin is the four generals of Wusong, Langshan, Zhejiang, and Changzhen. In addition, the Changsheng Army and Changjie Army were also very strong. The total number of troops was more than 100,000 troops together to form the Jiangnan camp.

but……

Who would have thought that they would be defeated so suddenly?

He actually didn't want to block the attack in Mengdu, but the problem was that the gentry in Changzhou would not do it. If he really defended Changzhou, the shells would hit the city and the losses would be their property. What's more, even outside the city, they had countless property. The residents of the core cities in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Changzhou, had already overflowed in large quantities, and there were a lot of gardens built by the gentry outside the city!

Who will compensate if it is ruined?

Therefore, we must block the attack in Mengdu.

As for the soldiers who were killed and injured, what's wrong with the gentry of Guan Changzhou? Isn't it just to give them a salary to death?

You have to be conscience in life, and you have already bought your life.

When you deserve to die, you have to die!

So as a northerner, Liu Yuanlin, who actually had no decision-making power, had to come out to block Mengdu under the drive of the gentry of Changzhou.

"Go and go and have a look!"

Yang Feng said.

Then he boarded the chariot.

"Master!"

"The general is mighty!"

...

The militia around were cheering.

Then Yang Dashuai's carriage quickly headed north with their cheers and soon arrived at the rice fields harvested outside Benniu Town. The wheat here has been sown. The winter wheat in this rice field is just scattered directly in the fields and then dug trenches and shoveled soil and covered them with them. Not to mention that people trampled on it, it would be fine if even the cavalry trampled on it. In fact, what I fear is not trampling on it, but not being covered in the soil.

The whole field was black.

All of them are fertile and wet soil dug out from the fields, and even a little watery.

This area is an authentic water town. If you dig a shovel down, you will basically get out of water.

At this moment, on this black plain, a group of legions had been arranged, and light chariots formed a continuous wall. The muzzle of the Franz machine extended outwards, and behind the wall were the following cavalry.

This is the official army.

The General of Changzhen was newly established. The original Jinshan Ginseng General Qian Shizhen, a native of Jiading, was from Wu Jinshi. He was appointed as a military officer. He recruited 10,000 troops and used the tactics of the Qi family army, mainly in the chariot camp. However, the original bird gun was replaced with a turtledove gun, and a large number of small francs had extremely fierce firepower. As auxiliary heavy artillery, there were also heavy artillery, but in terms of priority, the official army was definitely not as good as those provincial troops, so he only had eight thousand kilograms of red barbarian cannons, but there were more than forty thousand kilograms of francs.

For the gentry who supported the Hongguang Dynasty's arms, casting cannons was never a problem. The only problem was that copper was becoming increasingly scarce, so copper cannons became more and more precious.

but……

The iron cannon is different!

Now the price of this thing has not only not increased, but has become cheaper.

The main reason is that the gentry in various places has no control, and all those who have the conditions are smelting iron. The steel production capacity in Huguang and Jiangxi has been overturned in just half a year. Even Zhejiang, which lacks iron ore, is smelting iron and cannons. The gentry in northern China will not miss this good opportunity to make money. Therefore, the iron from Shandong and Henan is also transported to the south, not to mention the Guangdong gentry who are almost making crazy.

Foshan's population has skyrocketed.

It was because of insufficient staff and had to hire a large number of workers from outside.

After all, a big country like the Ming Dynasty was not comparable to that of Europe's large and small countries. During Zhu Yuanzhang, the steel output was nearly 20 million kilograms, and during the Jiajing period, Guangdong alone exceeded 20 million, so iron weapons were really not worth mentioning in the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the price fell all the way with competition, and it was completely different from the copper cannon. The latter really couldn't solve it. Now the copper coins of the Ming Dynasty have exceeded 1,000 against silver.

One tael of silver cannot be exchanged for a thousand coins.

Of course, the gentry in Yunnan were also crazy.

There have even been large-scale armed fighting in Yunnan for copper mines, and there have been many conflicts between the Yunnan generals and chieftains led by the Duke of Qian. However, under the stimulation of interests, the red-eyed military households gradually began to restore the style of their ancestors and firmly suppress the chieftains. After all, it is not that they cannot fight, but that they do not have enough profit drive. As long as there are enough interests, it will only take a minute to restore the style of their ancestors.

"This Qian Shizhen is quite talented in governing the army!"

Yang Feng looked at the city wall that was gradually approaching.

The real collision between the Eastern and Western tactics between the ches camp and the Gustav line!

"Master, dispatch cavalry.

Although the light chariot cannot stop the turtledove gun, it can also protect soldiers from reaching within 30 meters. This distance is enough to injure our soldiers. Moreover, the turtledove gun is fast, and we will suffer losses when shooting at the target. Even if we approach with the turtledove gun, there will be a lot of casualties. There are too many things and the firing speed is too fast. After we load it once, they can spray four or five rounds of shotguns. They have shield walls and armor protection themselves.

However, the chariot camp was slow to move, and it was unable to attack and advance. When we encountered the cavalry, we had to stop and prepare for defense, so we used the cavalry to stop them.

Then the cannons bombarded!"

Feng Shan said.

Play the Qi Family Army tactics?

They are the genuine ones, these are their apprentices!

"Cabinets, attack!"

Yang Feng said.

The First Cavalry Association, who had been on standby, immediately attacked.

Seeing the cavalry dispatched here, the Huaiyang cavalry on the opposite side rushed out immediately, and their chariot formation continued to move forward. However, although it was on the plain, the moving speed of these light chariots was still very slow. After all, there were muddy rice fields under their feet and countless ditches. It was impossible to push the heavy chariots and walk fast, even if these chariots were just light chariots after they lost weight.

The two cavalry quickly pulled the distance closer. All the cavalry on the horse's back had the same movements, and they moved closely together and held short spears to form small formations and then formed large waves.

But the Huaiyang cavalry formation was chaotic.

This is actually the difference between genuine and copycat.

Bi Maokang is indeed a military expert. He can equip the cavalry with the same rotary wheel and ignition gun, but he cannot expect his cavalry to become a musket cavalry like the Beijing cavalry in three months. The latter was Yang Feng trained in the north for more than a year before he could go to the battlefield. The cavalry of Huaiyang are indeed veterans themselves, but they are good at bows, arrows, cavalry, and cold weapons fighting, so that they can play this musket tactic...

This is called talking about war on paper.

"Ma, why do you want to laugh when you look at me!"

Feng Jie on the horse's back had a short spear and the other was a cavalry sword. He looked at the messy formation opposite and smiled.

"Battery Commander, what they learn from us is like a group of ducks!"

One of the cavalry charged intensified swears shouted.

"Then just beat the duck and change it!"

Feng Jie shouted.

The next moment, all the cavalry put away their muskets and swords, and then took off the spears they carried from behind...

The cavalry opposite was in chaos.
Chapter completed!
