Chapter 118

On the north bank of the Fuchun River, a team of Qing cavalry rushed to a mountain. The white-armored general suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, stopped at the top of the horse, and glanced at the other side.

In mid-December, the weather was cold and the war horses were sniffing and squirting out white air. Duoduo reached out to come to the Qianlijing and carefully observed the north shore. The camera fell on several small hills covered by snow, and couldn't help but grit their teeth.

It was not a small hill, but the Jingguan built by the Qing soldiers was a shame for Duoduo and the Qing Dynasty.

"Prince, I will definitely be able to cross the river this time and take advantage of my previous shame!" Boro looked at Jingguan on the other side and clenched the reins of the horse.

Overall, Duoduo won the battle in Hangzhou, but the Qing army failed to cross the river and wipe out eastern Zhejiang, which instead defeated Li Lutai, especially the Ming army, who led the Qing army to build the Jingguan, which made Duoduo feel uneasy.

Since Duoduo led his troops, he has never been so provoked. Since he was blocked from crossing the river last time, he has been preparing for the next time.

Now that the preparations are almost the same, the Ming army in the south is infighting, which is a god-given opportunity to wipe out eastern Zhejiang.

On the north bank of Fuchun River, the elite Qing army gathered secretly, but the Green Camp soldiers in front dug trenches on the shore to build earth walls and put on a defensive posture.

This was naturally Duoduo's idea. He was never tired of deceiving the deception of the soldiers. In order to relieve the internal strife between Zhejiang and Fujian, the cunning Duoduo took a defensive posture on the north bank. In fact, he was secretly collecting ships, setting up rafts, preparing to line up into a floating bridge, and crossing the river to the south.

At this time, Duoduo used a thousand-mile mirror to scan the south bank. There were a lot of fewer Ming soldiers, so he put away the thousand-mile mirror and drove down the hillside.

The Qing army camps on the north bank were dozens of miles in a row, with the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers densely packed, appearing among the military tents, with a total of 100,000.

In the Qing army camp, Duoduo stood in the center of the tent, and Boluo and a group of Qing army generals stood beside him vigorously.

Duoduo glanced at everyone and pointed to the sand table and said, "The soldiers of the pseudo-Ming are along the eastern Zhejiang, southern Jiangxi, and Hunan. They are like snakes in Changshan. The east Zhejiang is the head, southern Jiangxi, and Fujian is the snake's belly. If you hit the snake, you should hit seven inches. Now Fujian is incompatible with eastern Zhejiang, and you cannot control your head. You will not drive your head. You will abandon your martial arts. This is a good opportunity."

The Qing general in the tent looked serious, and Boluo said, "Prince, the only ones who can fight with the Qing Dynasty are Zhejiang and Fujian. This time the two are fighting each other, and our Qing Dynasty will take the opportunity to annihilate the two. Then Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi can decide a side division! At that time, the world will be owned by our Qing Dynasty!"

The Ming Dynasty's army is mainly two, one is the Zhejiang soldiers in the hands of King Lu, and the other is Zheng Zhilong's Zheng family army. There are basically no troops in other places. As long as the Qing army resolves the eastern Zhejiang and Zheng families, the Ming Dynasty's army will be basically over.

Duoduo said in a deep voice: "How are the army prepared?"

"Report to the prince, the soldiers have been preparing for several months and are ready!" Boro replied confidently.

Duoduo nodded slightly and asked immediately: "Is there any news coming back to the person sent to recruit Zheng Zhilong?"

Boluo said: "Huang Shu has sent back the news, and Zheng Zhilong is still hesitant and wants to wait for the price."

Duoduo narrowed and said, "As long as he is willing to talk, that is a good thing! You send an order to Huang Shu and tell him that any request Zheng Zhilong can agree to it first and stabilize him. When I wipe out East Zhejiang, I will deal with him."

"The prince is wise, it's ridiculous that Zheng Zhilong is about to be destroyed and is still thinking about bargaining with the Qing Dynasty. The fake Tang King and the fake Lu King are still fighting for the throne. It's ridiculous!" Boluo said with a smile.

Everyone laughed.

Duoduo also smiled and said, "Last time, the barbarians surrounded and annihilated ten thousand soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, allowing the barbarians to take advantage of them. If they don't wipe out eastern Zhejiang this time, they really made the barbarians think that my Qing warriors are made of mud."

As he said that, Duoduo waved his hand, "Send the order, and each department prepares for one day, and will force the Fuchun River to cross the fifth day tomorrow!"

...

While the Qing army was preparing to cross the river, on the south bank of the Fuchun River, the Ming army soldiers were busy carrying arrows, gunpowder and other objects, digging trenches on the beach, laying horse-repelling piles, and strengthening the defense on the south bank.

The Ming soldiers built earthen walls on the south bank. In front of the wall were several trenches filled with sharp spears and bamboos. The Folang machine cannons lined up on the earth wall, as well as the Ming army's melee guns and archers. Behind the earth wall, there were Ming army's new weapons, no conscience cannons.

After the Ming army lucky enough to repel the Qing army last time, they did not think that the river defense was at ease. Instead, they were even more worried that the Qing army would raid the river defense, so they gradually established a complete river defense system.

The Ming army in eastern Zhejiang divided the left, center and right route along the Fuchun River and Qiantang River, and each route was divided into three districts. A total of one town, three deputy generals and nine participating generals were arranged to defend the river section, and three guerrilla generals were arranged to mobile support.

King Lu deployed a total of 16 battalions of troops on the Jiang defense, totaling more than 50,000 troops, and half of the troops in eastern Zhejiang were all invested in the Jiang defense.

Not long ago, the Zhejiang Army and the Zheng Army clashed in Wenzhou. The King of Lu dispatched troops southward, and the pressure on the river defense increased immediately. In order to prevent the Qing army from taking the opportunity to cross the river, the Ming army on the south bank began to get busy.

At this time, the soldiers were setting up defenses. Suddenly, a large black shadow appeared on the land on the other side, like a gray cloth, slowly moving forward, and then crowded the river beach.

The Ming soldiers who were busy with defense couldn't help but stand up, calmed down for a while, immediately took a breath and shouted, "There is an enemy!"

In the Ming army camp behind the earthen wall, a general in charge hurriedly out of the tent, climbed onto the earthen wall, then pulled out the thousand-mile mirror and scanned the other side. Seeing the figures of Qing soldiers on the river beach, he looked solemn, and immediately waved: "Let the wolf smoke and tell your highness!"

On the north bank, nearly seventy red-clothed cannons were lined up at one time. The cannons flashed with gunfire, and the smoke filled the front line. More than seventy shells roared out and poured out towards the Ming army's position on the south bank.

The Qing army had already studied the fried bags used by the Ming army, but there was no launch device and could only be launched with a stone thrower. However, the range of the stone thrower was too close, so the Qing army could not use the fried bags during the attack.

During the attack, the Qing army still used their advantageous artillery. The effective range of the red-clothed cannon could hit three or four miles, enough to smash the shells to the south bank.

For a moment, artillery shells on the south bank roared, smashing out large pits, splashing out moist soil. The earth wall was hit by the shells, and the wall exploded, and the soil was buried and the soldiers hiding behind.

Duoduo saw mud pillars rising from the other side through the Thousand Mile Mile Mile Mile Mile, and the Ming soldiers were completely suppressed by artillery, with a sneer on their faces.

At this time, the people who had forced the ferry had boarded the boat and the raft. After Duoduo's order, thousands of sails were sailing together.

Because the first wave of landings often suffered heavy casualties, and without the Eight Banners soldiers taking the lead, Liu Liangzuo took on the task of taking the lead.

The north wind whistled, and the ship slowly left the north shore. Liu Liangzuo stood at the bow of the boat and saw his subordinates fighting for crossing, killing towards the south shore, which felt like the wind was whistling and the Yishui was cold.

At this time, the ship rushed across the middle of the river, and the Ming army artillery on the south bank began to fire. The shells fell into the river, splashing water columns. The soldiers of the Green Camp were so scared that they squeezed together and did not dare to move. However, Liu Liangzuo stood firmly at the bow of the ship, holding his sword high and shouted, "Brothers, kill the river, capture eastern Zhejiang, and grab money, grain and women!"
