The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 483 The Battle of Wulong Town (for Subscription)
The news of Bumbutai's assassination and death spread widely, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the world was shocked.

Especially in Hunan, Jiangnan, Jiangxi and other places on the front line of the war, the Qing army, which was already in a passive defensive posture, instantly became weaker.

Even Geng Jingzhong took advantage of the situation and sent troops to capture several state capitals.

But that's it.

At this time, Geng Jingzhong was doing his best to manage the Qujiang defense line, and had no spare energy to mobilize the army to go north.

On the Jiangxi side, the news of Bumbutai's assassination and death almost came from Ningdu Prefecture, which arrived with reinforcements from the Ming army.

Looking at the mighty Ming army reinforcements outside the city, the Qing army in Ningdu Prefecture fell into panic!
Especially when they heard the news of Bumbutai's assassination and death, the panic and uneasiness spread unstoppably like a plague.

……

Zheng Chenggong watched the reinforcements of the Restoration Army arriving one after another, stepped forward emotionally and hugged Xia Yuankui, the leader of the Restoration Army for this battle.

"Haha, reinforcements are finally here, Wu Dingbo, I have been waiting so hard for you!"

Xia Yuankui was very polite, and saluted Zheng Chenggong.

"The final general has seen the prince!"

Xia Yuankui was from Zhu Hongyu's imperial guards. After being released, he made frequent military exploits and was promoted very quickly.

Even got a knighthood!
Zheng Chenggong helped Xia Yuankui up and asked.

"Wu Dingbo, how many soldiers and horses are there for this reinforcement?"

Xia Yuankui didn't hold back, and replied directly.

"4 people!"

"Among them, [-] of the Guangfu Army and [-] of the Guiyi Army are enough to break the stalemate in the war in Jiangxi!"

Among the [-] rehabilitated troops, most of them have completed recruit training, but have not yet been on the battlefield and have seen blood.

But even so, when Xia Yuankui said this, he was quite confident.

It is not only confidence in the quality of the soldiers of the Liberation Army, but more confidence in the heavy artillery of the Liberation Army.

Xia Yuankui pointed to the artillery carts pulled by strong oxen and horses in the marching formation of the Restoration Army, the meaning was obvious.

I don't have many other things in Ming Dynasty, but there are too many guns!

Zheng Chenggong looked at the artillery dragon under his eyelids, squinted his eyes and counted, and took a deep breath.

Just what he saw, there were hundreds of cannons!
What he didn't see, only more!

Xia Yuankui stopped a truck carrying several boxes of shells, opened a box, pointed to the shells inside and said.

"Look, my lord!"

Zheng Chenggong followed Xia Yuankui's fingers and looked at the ordinary bullets, showing a look of astonishment on his face.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the shell?"

Xia Yuankui explained with a smile.

"This is a new type of flowering ammunition developed by the arsenal. With the same amount of charge, it is nearly two or three times more powerful than the old flowering ammunition."

"This battle in Jiangxi is the first time that this new type of bomb has been put into practical use on the battlefield!"

"I will be able to beat Qinglu to the ground!"

With an unconcealable smile on Zheng Chenggong's face, he opened his mouth to make arrangements.

"The army has traveled a long distance and is tired up and down. It is not appropriate to launch an attack just after arriving in Ningdu Prefecture today. Let's rest for a few days first."

"When the army is finished, it will surely conquer Ningdu Prefecture in one fell swoop and break the stalemate in the war in Jiangxi."

Xia Yuankui said.

"Alright, let's rest overnight!"

The Ming army led by him rushed all the way from Guangzhou to Ningdu Prefecture. Although the road was not a fast march, the physical exertion of the soldiers was also very serious.

After a long journey, the army does need a period of rest before it can go into battle.

……

The recovery army that had just arrived in Ningdu Prefecture began to repair, but Zheng Chenggong did not rest.

Instead, he began to command the civilian men under him to cooperate with the engineering troops of the Restoration Army to set up artillery positions outside the city of Ningdu Prefecture.

In the open space outside the city of Ningdu Prefecture, countless people were busy.

A series of trenches were dug and formed, heavy artillery positions were arranged behind the trenches, and field artillery with insufficient calibers were pushed down into the trenches and will be used for close-in shooting.

The arrival of the Restoration Army not only boosted Zheng Jun's sluggish morale, but even those civilian husbands were a little more motivated for no reason, and they worked hard!
Xia Yuankui stood on the high platform in the camp, looking towards the direction of the city wall of Ningdu Prefecture.

Zheng Chenggong stood beside him with his hands behind his back, telling him about the progress of the Jiangxi battle during this period.

The whole process of the battle between the Zheng army and the Qing army!
The focus is on the city defense situation in Ningdu Prefecture!
Xia Yuankui listened, and kept nodding his head to show that he understood.

A set of officials from the staff department gathered together to discuss something and discuss ways to siege the city.

A staff officer stood up and said.

"Currently, the weak point of Ningdu Prefecture's city defense is in the northwest corner."

"Our army can concentrate superior firepower and superior forces to make a concentrated breakthrough on the city defense of Ningdu Prefecture!"

Xia Yuankui pointed to the northwest corner of the city wall on the sand table, squinted his eyes and said.

"It is indeed possible!"

"But in this battle, the main purpose of our army is not to conquer a Ningdu city!"

"It's about annihilating the vital forces of the Qing army in Jiangxi as much as possible!"

While speaking, he pointed his finger on the sand table, a small town called Wulong Town not far from the city of Ningdu.

The current Wulong Town is not a simple town, but a complete military camp!

Most of the reinforcements dispatched from all over Jiangxi to reinforce Ningdu Prefecture were stationed in Wulong Town.

The fierce battle between Zheng Chenggong and the Qing army in Ningdu Prefecture was actually a fierce battle with the Qing army in Wulong Town.

Zheng Jun's attack on Ningdu Prefecture has never been too strong!

Xia Yuankui said in a serious tone.

"In this battle, Wulong Town takes priority!"

"The goal is to wipe out the main force of the Qing army in Wulong Town as much as possible. As for Ningdu Prefecture, there is no rush."

"Ningduzhou is there, and he doesn't have long legs, so he can't escape."

"Furthermore, Ningdu Zhouzhou City and Wulong Town are already horns of each other!"

"If our army can't conquer Wulong Town, then the battle in Ningdu Prefecture will probably not go smoothly."

"..."

"Here!"

Everyone responded in unison.

……

The next morning!
The golden sun rose in the sky, and the sky had just brightened. After arriving in Ningdu Prefecture, the Liberation Army, which had been repaired all night, launched an attack on Wulong Town.

It wasn't that Xia Yuankui didn't want the soldiers under him to rest for a while, but because the current war situation in the world was still very tense.

But on the whole, Daming is still at a disadvantage.

The war in Jiangxi cannot be delayed!
Xia Yuankui must resolve the Jiangxi war as soon as possible to buy more time for Ming to adjust its strategy, so as to prepare for the Ming army to meet the main force of the Qing army going south.

The ground was covered with red armor, countless soldiers marched forward, and field artillery was pushed to the front of the formation, ready to approach and fire.

Zheng Jun did not paddle either, but went out of the camp with the Restoration Army.

When the Liberation Army launches an attack on the frontal battlefield, Zheng Jun will also attack the flanks of Wulong Town!
And prevent Ningdu Zhoucheng from going out of the city to counterattack and sneak attack on the back of the Ming army.

The Qing army in Wulong Town was awakened by the roar of war drums. They did not expect that the reinforcements of the Ming army had just arrived, and they launched an attack on Wulong Town.

Although surprised, they did not panic and responded quickly.

A famous archer, sword and shield soldier, and even cavalry are all ready to meet the enemy.

The defenders of Ningduzhou City also boarded the city wall, looking towards the direction of Wulong Town.
