Bring the whole war back to Nanming

Chapter 104
After nearly half a month of forced marching, Li Chengdong's troops finally passed through AH and Jiangxi in later generations to Liuyang, tens of kilometers west of Changsha City.

The long-term journey exhausted the [-] troops under Li Chengdong's command. In order to maintain future combat effectiveness, he specially ordered the army to rest on the spot and set off again on the third day.

Li Chengdong rode a tall horse and wandered around the city with the supervisor Liu Zhaoji.The news of the great victory in Jinan received three days ago was like a shot in the arm, strengthening his confidence in resisting the Qing Dynasty.

The battle in northern Hunan was just the opposite. On November [-]th, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi led the main force by land, and Tuntai took water to break through the Xinqiang River defended by He Tengjiao's pro-guards and marched into Xiangyin. Zhang Kuang and his troops fled to Xiangyin. Changsha, now across the Xiangjiang River, barely holds its ground.

"The only one who can save the Ming Dynasty is Lord Hou." Looking to the east, Li Chengdong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Liu Zhaoji smiled, and said: "Brother Tingzhen (Li Chengdong's character) is right. Now that we are in the Ming Dynasty, it is easy for Lord Hou to become emperor. We can also succeed in the success of the dragon. Alas, what a pity."

"Brother Ding Wei (Liu Zhaoji's character) don't talk nonsense, there are too many people with miscellaneous eyes, it will be bad if it spreads to Nanjing."

"Hey, didn't Master Hou say that? What's that called?" Liu Zhaoji wanted to refute Li Chengdong, but he forgot the words.

"freedom of speech."

Liu Zhaoji clapped his hands: "That's right! It's freedom of speech, and he is indeed the one that Lord Hou likes."

Li Chengdong shook his head helplessly: "Ding Wei, Master Hou told you to read more books and stop visiting brothels. If you don't listen, you will suffer from being uneducated, right?"

"Go, go, I'm already quite old. What kind of books should I read? If I don't read them, Miss Brothel Kiln is so energetic. It's much more interesting than reading."

Seeing Liu Zhaoji's appearance that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, Li Chengdong didn't bother to persuade him any more, and changed the topic to the war.

"He Tengjiao is incompetent, has been defeated repeatedly, and has lost the face of us and other Ming soldiers. Now he can only hide on the west bank of the Xiangjiang River. If our army is not very exhausted, today I will take five thousand light cavalry, one person and two horses, to fight with those soldiers. The three kings of the Tartars made a few tricks."

Liu Zhaoji trembled after hearing this and thought to himself: Li Chengdong, how dare you play!Five thousand Qingqi, do you think you are Changshan Zhao Zilong?

"Tingzhen, this matter has to be considered in the long run. There are [-] troops on the Tartar side, and we, including He Tengjiao's old army, only have [-] to [-]. Our family is weak and we can't afford it."

"Brother Ding Wei, there is nothing perfect in the world. People are not sages and sages. What's more, in the ever-changing battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting. If you grasp it, you will definitely be able to win another victory in Jinan!"

Li Chengdong's face was flushed with excitement, and he clenched his hands holding the rein tightly.It seems that he was stimulated by the great victory in Jinan.

"Okay, you are the coach who listens to you, how should I cooperate with you, just let me tell you."

Liu Zhaoji's support gave Li Chengdong great confidence. He leaned into Liu Zhaoji's ear and whispered.The personal guards consciously expanded the scope of their guards and refused to listen to what they shouldn't.

"Okay, you Li Chengdong! It turned out that he had already planned to trick He Tengjiao and the others. This move is really fucking bad, but I like it, brother."

"Shh, keep your voice down, my plan is not only to trap He Tengjiao, but also Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, and Kong Youde."

"Oh yes!"

Liu Zhaoji and Li Chengdong smiled at each other. If the plan is successful, not to mention the two lakes, all the areas south of the Qinling Mountains may be able to do their best in one campaign.

The army led by Li Chengdong and Liu Zhaoji consisted of [-] vanguard cavalry, [-] Rick guards, [-] giant swordsmen, [-] swordsmen, halberd soldiers, spear shield soldiers, and [-] crossbowmen.

The lineup is not luxurious, and the elite are superior. After at least one year of actual combat and training, no matter what terrain or situation, they can handle it well. Compared with Li Zicheng, the elite is not successful.

Li Chengdong in Liuyang actively prepared for the Yin people, but He Tengjiao and Zhang Kuang who stayed in Changsha had a hard time. The Tartars tried to cross the river several times but were blocked by them desperately, with fewer and fewer troops.Gradually, food supplies can't keep up.

In Changsha City, the Governor's Mansion, He Tengjiao was restless. Yesterday he received a report from Liuyang's eyeliner: The imperial reinforcements have arrived in Liuyang to rest and will arrive in Changsha in a few days.

Upon receiving the news, He Tengjiao wept with joy and spread the news to the entire army. This is why Changsha City fell as quickly as in history, and He Tengjiao did not run away early.

But now!The reinforcements stayed in Liuyang, only a day's journey away from Changsha. He had inquired that the leader of the army was Li Chengdong, the former general of Xuzhou.

"It seems that Li Chengdong is just a mediocre person. He fears the enemy like a tiger and dares not to fight for a long time. Poluhou looked away!"

He Tengjiao laughs at fifty steps, but he is also a loser, so what qualifications do he have to criticize others.

"Report! Superintendent! The Tartars are back!"

The soldier's voice completely frightened He Tengjiao. Fortunately, he was deep in the city and quickly adjusted his mentality: "What did you say? The Tartars have retreated? What's going on?"

The personal soldiers told He Tengjiao what he knew like beans: "Master, according to the report from Liuyang, it is said that Li Chengdong led five thousand Qingqi to detour to Xiangyin, tricked the city gate, occupied the county seat, and broke the law. The Tartars retreat."

"Five thousand light cavalry dare to attack the county seat! This Li Chengdong is quite courageous, but the back road is cut off, and there is absolutely no need for the Tartars to evacuate."

He Tengjiao was puzzled, but he didn't have the guts to make a risky move.

The soldiers didn't know how to answer, so they had to step aside to make room for their supervisor to think.

Not long after, another joyful voice came: "Report! Master Supervisor! General Li Chengdong set up an ambush on the Ma'an Bridge and defeated the [-] Tartar army. The enemy fled and lay dead for dozens of miles!"

The victory came so suddenly that He Tengjiao did not recover from the series of victories.

"Li Chengdong, Li Chengdong! You are indeed the man Poluhou likes. The old man made a mistake before, it's a sin! Hurry up! Prepare your horse! Cross the river!"

The Jiang Defense Army skillfully moved out the hidden boat for He Tengjiao to cross the river. As soon as he set foot on the land of Jiangdong, he rushed to Xiangyin without stopping.

On the other side, in Xiangyin County, Liu Zhaoji looked relaxed, riding a war horse, accompanying Li Chengdong.

He never imagined that this formerly unknown commander-in-chief in front of him would have such courage. He not only took the lead in capturing Xiangyin, but also defeated Shang Kexi in a row in the Ma'anqiao ambush. Destroy the Tartar army.

"Brother Tingzhen, if you don't make a name for yourself, you will become a blockbuster! It is not an exaggeration to say that you are Zhao Zilong of the Great Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that after this battle, your reputation, Li Chengdong, will spread throughout the country, and I will also be honored by you, brother. "

"Haha, Brother Ding Wei is serious. I am an official in the court and a brother in the army. I have nothing to do with it."

Li Chengdong's joy betrayed his ideas, but Li Chengdong himself was quite surprised. In his original plan, the Maanqiao ambush was only to weaken the enemy's strength.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers Fang Xiaobai gave him were so powerful that they defeated tens of thousands of Tartars when he beheaded the enemy general.It can be said that Li Chengdong was made by the soldiers under his command.
