Chapter 346

Of course, Qin Huan didn't really kill the city, but the firearm camp was not good at attacking the city, but had to be tough, so he wanted to scare the people in the city away by relying on the prestige of the Chinese army.

Seeing that the people in the city were really scared away and were not in a hurry to attack the city, they asked five thousand troops to shout and put guns under the north city wall. It was not until it was completely dark that the troops climbed up the ladder to the top of the city.

The whole city has long been empty, and the ground is full of chaos. Almost all who can run have run away. Only at the south gate, there are a lot of corpses left, and a few wounded people are still crying.

………

"How dare you! The governor of Jingmen is a stupid pig. You should kill him! And the commander of the guard, all should be killed... "

Knowing that tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Jingmen fled without fighting, the Chinese Army easily took the city. Lu Xiangsheng was furious and his throat was sweet. He almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Commander, it's shameless for the Chinese army to threaten to kill the city..."

"Pa! What Chinese army? It's the anti thief, it's the thief army! "

Lu Xiangsheng patted the table and roared with a ferocious face, which scared all the generals to bow their heads.

They have never seen the supervisor behave like this before, especially several generals who have followed Lu Xiangsheng for many years. Even when Jia Zhuang was in a desperate situation, the supervisor has never behaved like this.

"If the order goes down, the army will cross the river from Wangzhuang 20 miles downstream tomorrow morning and fight to the death with the thief army!"

Lu Xiangsheng also realized that he had lost his manners. After taking a deep breath, he ordered with a solemn face.

"Supervisor, think twice!"

"Yes, sir, if you keep the green mountains, you're not afraid of no firewood. At this time, it's hard to predict the outcome of the decisive battle across the river. It's better to deal with the thief army here first."

All the generals knelt down on one knee and advised, because even they could see what it meant to lose the battle.

"The governor has made up his mind. Let's go back to the camp and make preparations!" Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and knew that they were not greedy for life and afraid of death, so his tone was not severe, but they were very firm.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, the generals sighed helplessly and then retreated.

After everyone left, Lu Xiangsheng also sighed.

He naturally understood that once the war was defeated, the whole Huguang would fall into the hands of thieves. I'm afraid Daming would really be over.

What can he do without a decisive battle?

I'm here to deal with the Chinese army. After the Chinese army beat down the runing house, I'll send the army south. I don't even have any hope.

Although he can also send troops from all over the country, what's the use of more mobs?

Zuo Liangyu, Yang Guozhu's troops are worthy of a war, but Yang Guozhu can't come at all in Hanzhong. Zuo Liangyu will never come if he disobeys the Yin and Yang. Therefore, it's better to take advantage of the current military advantage and fight.

Although Daming can no longer afford to lose, he also urgently needs a big victory. He must also have a big victory to rally people's hearts and let the gentry and military officers everywhere see hope.

Otherwise, things like Jingmen will happen one after another.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng's face also showed a determination.

………

The next day, 20000 Tianxiong troops crossed the Han River 20 miles downstream of Jingmen, ready to fight to the death with the Chinese army.

Qin Huan didn't stop the Tianxiong army from crossing the river. Instead, he led the army to meet them after they all crossed the river.

Lu Xiangsheng wants to fight a decisive battle. He also wants to kill Lu Xiangsheng and this Tianxiong army.

Because as long as he kills the 20000 troops and Lu Xiangsheng, he can continue to go south and take Wuchang directly.

Once Wuchang was broken, the 60000 troops in Suizhou became an isolated army, which was readily available in the Jianghan Plain.

So he is eager to fight a decisive battle.

The reason why he attacked Jingmen yesterday and didn't cross the river directly from the east bank was that he was worried that Lu Xiangsheng would bully him. He didn't have enough food and grass and didn't fight.

Although there were only 16000 people in the three independent battalions, of which only 10000 were equipped with new fire guns, and none of the Fran machine guns, Qin Huan was still confident.

He doesn't believe that the pure firearm army he carefully built can't win 20000 cold weapon troops in front of the field. Let alone Lu Xiangsheng's 20000 Tianxiong army, there is only a shadow of the Qi family army. Even if it is a real 20000 Qi family army, he is not afraid.

Lu Xiangsheng was surprised when he learned that the more than 10000 Chinese troops were not equipped with shields, bows and arrows, long swords and armor, and all they took were fire guns.

A burst of laughter, also become confident.

No wonder Lu Xiangsheng thought so. After all, a pure firearms army was too advanced, and the Ming army knew very well about firearms. Even Qi Jiajun dared not use pure firearms, because firearms were too limiting.

In fact, Qin Huan and his army just walked out of the city for three miles and quickly turned around and returned to the city.

Because there was a drizzle in the sky. Although it had little impact on the flint gun, Qin Huan still dared not take risks.

"Shit, what's the weather in Huguang? Isn't there still sun in the morning? Why did it suddenly rain in the afternoon? "

Qin Huan stood at the head of the city and looked at the soldiers who were embarrassed to return. He was angry and scolded. Several school captains also looked at each other. No one thought it would be like this.

"King, what shall we do now?"

"Camp C retreats to the city. Camp a, camp B, retreat for 20 miles and fight again when the weather is fine!"

Qin Huan thought for a moment, then looked up at the sky. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he said helplessly.

No way, this situation, whether all SA Yazi retreat to the north or all nest in the city, is not a good choice.

All retreat means giving up Jingmen and losing the chance to fight again. If Lu Xiangsheng publicizes, he may take the initiative to retreat and become a defeat. This will never happen.

The victorious record of the Chinese army must be maintained.

If all of them stay in the city, they will be surrounded again. Although he is not afraid, it will be very troublesome if Lu Xiangsheng catches more than 100000 cannon fodder.

Half in the city and half outside the city, there are some risks. After all, outside the city, once the rain is too heavy and the firearm loses its function, there is no sword or shield, which is very dangerous.

Therefore, the c-camp equipped with a long gun is stationed in the city. The a-camp and b-camp retreat 20 miles north and kill them after it clears up. Undoubtedly, it is the best choice.

Qin Huan actually felt that he was a little hasty this time. He thought of all the problems, but he didn't think that the pure firearm army was afraid of rain.

At this time, the morale of the 20000 Tianxiong army soared and rushed to kill them in the rain.

Although Lu Xiangsheng knew that the Chinese army had to retreat because of the weather, he naturally wouldn't say it, but announced that the thief army fled in fear of war.
