Chapter 9 Questions (Part 1)

The Ming army, who fired the artillery, did not think that its firepower could cause a large amount of damage in the dark night. In fact, it did not hit several targets, but now there is chaos outside Guazhou City.

In order to prevent the bombing camp, experienced green camp generals have already sent elite troops to keep an eye on the civilians. Their main energy is concentrated on their camps rather than on the riverside. There are just some people pretending to be shouting, and setting off a few fires. They will return to the camp before dawn and report a loss tomorrow. With the help of the Governor of the Canal Transportation Office, they will not only have the money to take it, but they may also have the credit for killing the thieves.

After the Sichuan Navy appeared, the first ones were the troops dressed as Ming army. They just wanted to pretend to behave, and those who were serious about doing things changed their clothes and prepared to leave them after the show was finished. The careless ones danced around with a few red flags, and the military uniforms they sent to them were thrown directly on the ground with the flags and drums. Even in the dark, such careless disguise was immediately discovered by the Sichuan army, and the preconceived Jiang Nan's troops began the attack without hesitation.

I had just wanted to hold a simple parade of makeup, but suddenly the shells came over without thinking. The extras from the green camp were immediately furious and shouted, "The Ming army is here to kill us!" and ran to the friendly troops or inland.

At this time, the Ming army began to shoot. After failing to find friendly troops nearby, Jiang Nan and Wu Baoping ordered their subordinates to attack all the targets of activities to disrupt the deployment and rhythm of the Qing army.

The extras on the shore fell into chaos after being raided, and the officers and soldiers who were surveillance in the camp looked at each other. They all heard the sound of cannons and the noise, but no one could come out to explain what happened. The civilians who were under supervision were already nervous, and the sudden encirclement of the officers and soldiers tonight made them even more frightened. After the cannons rang out, the long-accumulated terror completely broke out.

"Ming Army is here to kill us!"

Some civilians thought about the same as the officers and soldiers of the green camp on the riverside outside. However, many people did not think so, because after going to Jiangnan, the Ming army was kind to the people, and was completely different from the vicious Liangjiang and the green camp in Huguang. Especially the civilians recruited from the riverside area, instead of believing that the Ming army would massacre them, they would rather believe that this was a sign that the officers and soldiers would kill them. If it were not planned by the officers and soldiers, how could they have been on guard before they remembered the cannons?

"The officers and soldiers want to kill us!" Many civilians roared angryly.

"We want to blame the Sichuan Army."

"The officers and soldiers must kill good people and make achievements!" Some people who were more mentally reminded of the merits and the Caoyin: "They want to rob the Caoyin and blame us!"

In fact, this is very close to the truth. Originally, all battalions received orders that if someone made a noise, the surveillance officers and soldiers should immediately rush in and drag the agitator out of the crowd to death. As long as the response is quick, it will definitely shock the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who are scattered. However, when the battalions are beginning to be restless, the officers and soldiers of the green camp who are monitoring them are doing nothing at the edge because they are also in panic. The sound of cannons is not part of the script, and they also do not understand what is happening on the river.

...

"Is it really a bombing camp?" The sky had turned silver-gray. Seeing the noise in the Qing army camp and the firelights rose, Jiang Nan felt that his mind was not enough.

How to induce the Green Camp bombing was also one of the research topics of the Sichuan Army. As early as Deng Ming had just left Kunming and sent an open letter to Wu Sangui for the first time to claim a day to fight with the other party, Deng Ming and his seventeen companions began to study this issue. Although it was not applied to actual combat on a large scale, they still conducted some secret experiments on the territory of Huguang and Liangjiang.

The accumulation of war over the years, coupled with the inverse deduction of the methods passed down to prevent the roar, special training and special equipment troops - referred to as special forces, have already had a relatively mature theoretical system and effective inducing methods. As a senior officer of the Imperial Army, Major Jiang certainly has the opportunity to read these theories, and he even contributed some experience.

"The sun will come out soon..." If the sky had not been gray and white, Jiang Nan would not have seen the movements and stills of the Qing army camp so clearly. According to the research of the special forces, this is the time when the camp bombing phenomenon is least likely. Because it will soon be dawn, there is not much time left for the riots, and most of them will be suppressed before they can make trouble. And there are psychological reasons. The special forces believe that the fear of ordinary soldiers reaches its highest point after midnight, and when the sky is approaching, people's tension will also be relieved. When the horizon begins to turn white, it is almost impossible for someone to resist the authority of the officers because of the tension. The prerequisite for the occurrence of the camp roar is the large-scale outbreak of tension and dissatisfaction.

"And the other party is still alert." Jiang Nan murmured softly. The experimental research of the special forces pointed out that the camp shark not only requires dissatisfaction and tension, but also affected by the control of the Green Camp officers. Even if time and emotions meet the conditions, if an officer intervenes in the initial stage and leads the personal guards to capture and kill the troublemakers, the camp shark will be extinguished in the early stage. In order to spread rumors and buy the troublemakers, the special forces have spent a lot of money. In order to prevent the experimental subjects from following the clues to find the behind-the-scenes envoys, which affects the harmonious relationship between Chengdu and Wuchang, Nanchang and Nanjing, the special forces often need to spend an extra portion of money to set up the suspicion array, so that even if the green camp has some doubts, they will suspect that it is the enemy's road to retaliation.

The enemy camp by the river was obviously prepared, and the officers' regiment did not sleep, so even though it was at night, the control was still strong. One time, the other was the control, and the two decisive factors that the special forces believed that it would inevitably prevent the appearance of the camp roar were there, but the camp roar still happened in front of Jiang Nan.

A large number of people rushed out of the camp and started fighting around the camp. These fighting people did not have a clear camp and front line, but blindly attacked the people beside them. Basically, after a battle, they would immediately start a new confrontation with the idle people around them. However, if a person was free and found that the people around him were busy fighting with the opponent without any time to worry about him, the idle person often would not choose to help someone gain an advantage, but chose to escape from the camp until he met another idle person, and a new confrontation broke out.

Seeing that this large-scale, without clear purpose, almost everyone started fighting under the control of self-protection instinct, Jiang Nan was convinced that the textbooks of the special forces needed to be changed. The rules they regarded as golden rules have been falsified. Although they could not understand the situation in front of them, Jiang Nan was determined to capture a few prisoners in a while to study how this bizarre camp roar incident occurred.

Wu Baoping's reaction was more active than Jiang Nan. The Qing army on his side also had a camp bombing. After midnight, Dang Shousu also led his army to the canal. After discovering that the Sichuan Army participated in the war, Dang Shousu had the same misunderstanding as Liu Tichun, but he thought that the main attack direction of the Qing army was chosen to be Liu Tichun's position in the west.

Wu Baoping and Dang Shousu watched the Qing troops in various battalions kill each other in front of them. The canal transport escort officers and soldiers in Huguang and Liangjiang attacked each other. The green camps in Jiangnan and Jiangxi met each other. The soldiers in the same battalion were also formed.

"It seems they didn't want to attack our army." Wu Baoping could not understand what happened to the Qing army opposite, but he suspected that his shelling operation was a bit reckless, which aggravated the chaos of the Qing army. If the Qing army had never had military operations against the Ming army, then even if they were angry, it had nothing to do with the Ming army.

"Protect the grain." Wu Baoping saw the war between the riots spreading and threatened the transport ships docked around the Guazhou camp, and finally ordered the Ming army to land and intervene in the conflict. He also sent a signal to the Dang Shousu's troops, asking them to assist in suppressing the riots in the Green Camp and restore normal order around Guazhou.

In Wu Baoping's view, his actions today were a bit rash, which may affect Deng Ming's strategy. If he just pulled his hands and watched the war between the Green Camp coldly destroy the grain, Deng Ming's strategy to avoid a decisive battle in Jiangnan would be closer to failure. Therefore, Wu Baoping planned to make up for his merits and help the Green Camp generals restore normal military order, and at least he had to send troops to ensure that the grain ships were not robbed and burned by the rioters.

...

When Wu Baoping landed, the sun had risen from the east. Jiang Nan, who was upstream, saw that the Ming army fleet was rushing towards Guazhou, and a large number of small boats were also put down. These Ming troops undoubtedly landed in combat because they wanted to suppress the chaotic soldiers, seize and protect the water camps of the canal ships on the shore.

"There was still a war on Major Wu's side." Jiang Nan came to the conclusion that although the Qing army on his side was unable to pose a threat to the Ming army because of the explosion of the battalions, fierce wars broke out in the downstream, otherwise Wu Baoping would not have to take the risk of landing on the beach. It is very likely that the Dang Shousu Zhongfu was trapped in a tough battle.

Regardless of the downstream war, the most urgent task is to defeat the enemy in front of you, so as to attract some of the attention of the Qing army to itself, and thus support friendly forces on the downstream battlefield.

"Log in." Jiang Nan made a decision as soon as he saw the upstream Ming army landing in battle. The rescuers were like putting out fires, and they could not tolerate delays for a moment: "Anyone who resists our army will be killed without any hesitation."

The Qing army was also landing with Jiang Nan, who arrived by boat. The Qing army in front of him was in chaos, giving the Ming army a chance to land safely. As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again.

After seeing Jiang Nan and Liu Tichun raise the flags for assault operations, Wu Baoping also changed his mind and ordered the landing troops to attack and advance and reinforce the upstream friendly forces as soon as possible.

After seeing the entire Ming army sending out combat signals, Li Laiheng and others on the south bank were also shocked and angry, and loudly issued the order to "the entire army is wearing armor" and "cross the river quickly".
