Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 349
When Jue Luolang went out of the big tent, several Qing soldiers had already stripped off Jin Shengheng's armor, swung their military sticks and hit Jin Shengheng's muscular back mercilessly.

Jin Shengheng let out a muffled snort as the baton fell, and the surrounding Green Battalion soldiers murmured at this, which made him feel ashamed and angry.

After all, Jin Shengheng is the admiral of Jiangxi, and he needs to maintain his majesty in front of the soldiers, but now he has been stripped naked and beaten with a stick in front of the public.

Jue Luo Langqiu could feel the anger in Jin Shengheng's heart. He didn't know if what Luck Dehun had done was right or not, but things had come to this point. He and Luck Dehun were grasshoppers on the same rope, so naturally they wouldn't go. Sympathize with Jin Shengheng.

The executioners were all soldiers of the Eight Banners, and they were all ruthless. Jue Luo Langqiu stood aside and urged Jin Shengheng to attack the city after beating the army sticks.

Just when the army stick finished the last blow, there was a sudden commotion outside the Qing camp, Jue Luo Langqiu couldn't help frowning slightly, and walked towards the camp gate, but saw that many people had already gathered.

A group of green battalion soldiers who had discarded their helmets and armor appeared outside the camp one after another. Seeing this, Jue Luo Langqiu was shocked, so he hurriedly called someone to ask him.

A moment later, a rout soldier general in disheveled armor came to the commander-in-chief of the Qing camp together with Jue Luo Langqiu. Luc Dehun asked in shock, "What's going on?"

Hearing the words, the general manager was very frightened, and quickly knelt down and replied: "Report to Lord Baylor, General Geng took us to Wan'an County, and was ambushed when we approached the county seat. Escape, come back and report to Baylor~"

Hearing the words, Lu Kede couldn't help staggering, immediately grabbed the general's chest, lifted it up and asked angrily, "Where's Geng Jimao?"

Seeing Lucde's terrified look, his hands trembled, and he said in a panic, "It seems that he was killed by Ming general He Zhen~"

Le Kede's body couldn't help but slumped, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he fell to the ground with that hand. Jue Luo Langqiu at the side immediately asked, "How many people are there in the Ming army who ambushed you?"

"The slave doesn't know either. I only know that on both sides of the official road, there are suddenly raised torches everywhere, more than the stars in the sky~"

At this time, Luck Dehun finally realized that something was wrong. The Ming army on the Ganjiang River was not all the Ming army at all. Wang Yan's goal was to create a false impression for him, make him divide his troops, and then attack the reinforcements.

This made Luck Dehun feel a panic. Geng Jimao died, and Wan An must not be able to defend for long, but what really alarmed him was that Wang Yan's soldiers were obviously not only 6, but at least [-] or [-]. His previous calculations were all misjudgments.

Jue Luolangqiu waved his hand to make the general retreat, and then asked, "Master Baylor, what should we do now? Continue to attack Ganzhou?"

The current situation is extremely unfavorable for the Qing soldiers, and Lu Kede was silent for a moment, "Ganzhou can no longer fight, Wan'an City can't stop the Ming army for a long time, if Wang Yan suddenly kills us, we will lose the chance of a decisive battle." None. The news cannot be blocked when the defeated soldiers flee back, and the green battalion soldiers must be unstable, so you put Jin Shengheng under house arrest for this commander, and don't let him do any small tricks."

Jue Luo Langqiu thought about the way Jin Shengheng was eating the military stick just now, and now he also stood by Luke Dehun's side, changed his attitude, and said in a cold voice, "Why didn't Baylor just kill him~"

Lu Kede shook his head and said: "If he could kill him, I would have killed him long ago, and I wouldn't try my best to make so many excuses. Jin Shengheng still has a lot of confidantes in the camp, and what I can really rely on is The Three Thousand and Eight Banners brought into Jiangxi, the morale of the army is already unstable at this time. If he is killed rashly, there will definitely be a mutiny in the camp. At that time, before Wang Yan arrives, the entire Qing camp will fall into cannibalism , how can we deal with Wang Yan?"

Jue Luo Langqiu nodded when he heard the words, "The general will know."

At this moment, another soldier suddenly reported outside the account: "Sign up to Lord Baylor, the scouts found the forward of the Ming army, only sixty miles away from Ganzhou!"

"What?" Luc Dehun was shocked again, "How did the Ming army come so quickly?"

In fact, when Luck Dehun heard that Wang Yan had entered Jiangxi, he should have given up attacking Ganzhou and returned directly to aid northern Jiangxi. Maybe he still had a chance to stabilize Jiangxi and wait for other directions. The Qing soldiers supported him, but because he was instinctively afraid of Wang Yan, he made a wrong decision.

Afterwards, Wang Yan approached Wan'an, and he could actually withdraw to Zhejiang immediately, but he was lucky, but he misjudged again, so that now tens of thousands of Qing soldiers have no way out, there are chasing soldiers behind, and the soldiers are in the field. There is no strong city to rely on.

Based on the current situation, I am afraid that if Luck Dehun just wanted to escape, it would be impossible.

There are nearly 4 men left under him, but most of the green battalion are infantry, but Wang Yan has 2000 cavalry. If he escapes, then except for the Eight Banners soldiers brought into Jiangxi, all other green battalion soldiers will definitely be killed by the Ming army. The cavalry concealed and killed, and there must be only more than [-] Eight Banners left in the end to escape.

Luke Dehun thought of this, since fleeing is also the result, then it is better to fight to the death with Wang Yan than to let the green battalion soldiers be wiped out by the Ming army in the rout. Take advantage of the chaos to escape.

At this time, Luck Dehun's eyes turned cold, and he said to Jue Luolang: "Now the Ming army is about to attack, and the people in our army are not stable. After a long time, there will inevitably be changes. It's better to take advantage of Wang Yan's arrival, tomorrow The army has not yet colluded with the green camp, and a decisive battle with them immediately may be able to win a chance of life."

Jue Luo Lang Qiu heard the words and nodded, that's all he can do now.

The reason why the Ming army rushed to Ganzhou quickly was because Wang Yan did not attack Wan'an at all.

Wang Yan was certain to win the battle in southern Jiangxi. For him, Le Ke Dehun was not only a defeated general, but also a defeated general. In fact, there was no challenge.

Wang Yan's problem was not how to defeat Luck Dehun, but how to defeat the Qing army at the least cost.

This time when Wang Yan entered the Jiangxi army, the soldiers basically did not experience fierce battles, as if they were doing field training, or even an outing, quite like the Germans fighting Poland in later generations.On the Ganshui River, Wang Yan received a report from Dai Zhifan, knowing that the Ming army had beheaded Geng Jimao and surrounded Wan'an County, so he went ahead with [-] supervising cavalry and arrived in Wan'an in just one day.

Dai Zhifan immediately pleaded guilty, saying that he could defraud Wan'an, but Wang Yan didn't take it seriously. There were only [-] Qing soldiers in Wan'an City, which basically posed no threat to the Ming army.

Although Wan'an's position is very important, as long as he arranges 5000 troops, he can keep an eye on Wan'an. The Qing soldiers can't even get out of the city, so naturally they can't pose a threat to Wang Yan.

At this time, Wang Yan estimated that Luck Dehun under the city of Ganzhou had already reacted, and no matter from the situation or the strength of the troops, the Qing soldiers had no chance of winning.

Wang Yan was worried that the Qing soldiers would withdraw eastward, leaving future troubles, so he left He Zhen with 5000 troops to monitor Wan'an and wait for the rear army, while he led 5000 troops and rushed to Ganzhou at top speed.
