Lord of Ming Dynasty

The two changed their clothes, put on their armor and weapons, and rode their horses towards the city gate.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for the late arrival of Ma Mou." Ma Degong and Ma Deli got off their horses and knelt high above them, riding in front of Kong Youde's war horse.

Kong Youde then got off his horse and greeted him with a smile, "You two virtuous brothers, there is no need to be so polite. Today I led troops through here and wanted to attack Nanming Kingdom from here. It was Kong who was abrupt. I should say hello to you two to avoid misunderstanding. But the military situation is urgent, so Kong has no choice but to offend."

Ma Deli asked, "Where is Second Master Kong?"

Kong Youde laughed, "Youxing led an army of [-] to cross the pass first and attacked Feng Shuangli. This time, let's give Feng Shuangli a surprise attack. We can't let him take advantage of it every time."

Ma Degong and Ma Deli looked at each other in blank dismay. The Kong family was acting too dishonestly. This is their territory. Passing through their territory, they didn't even say hello to them, and went out through the light card they were guarding. It seems that the generals defending the checkpoint should be replaced, and they dared to let outsiders out without their orders.

The two families exchanged pleasantries here, and when they were reminiscing about the old days, the Nanming Kingdom's attack had already begun. At the same time, no one knew that Kong Youxing had also led an army of [-] to attack the part of Guangxi that Feng Shuangli was defending, which belonged to the territory occupied by Feng Shuangli. The guards couldn't stop the Qing army's attack at all, and retreated steadily. The messengers asking for help were not as fast as Kong Youxing's cavalry. Before they reported to Feng Shuangli, another city fell over there.

And when Feng Shuangli received the letter and was furious, Zhu Yujian, Su Guansheng, and Li Guangdi of Longwu Nanming also received the message, and the emergency messengers from them also ran to the Military Intelligence Department of the Huaxia Army, and the Military Intelligence Department passed it on to Jiangxi Prefecture. Zhang Qiang on patrol.

The war between the Nanming Kingdom and Kong Youde's tribe officially began.

Chapter 429: Nanming Beacon 10

Zhang Qiang sits in the Raozhou Prefecture and closely monitors the war progress of the Nanming Kingdom. This is related to the next war strategy of the Huaxia Army. If the Nanming Kingdom can hold back a large number of Qing troops in Guangxi Prefecture, then the pressure on the Huaxia Army will increase. Smaller and smaller, it can even disintegrate the frontal confrontation between the Qing army without any effort.

At the same time, it can also be tested that the combat effectiveness of the new Nanming army trained by the Huaxia Army is stronger than that of Kong Youde's new army.

It also gave the Huaxia Army an idea of ​​how powerful the Qing army was when they were facing each other.

If the new army trained by the Qing army is powerful enough to defeat the Nanming army, then the Huaxia army will have to adjust its strategy and strive to take down the Qing army at the lowest cost.

The situation of the war started with an incredible start.

The Kong Youde brothers unexpectedly attacked Feng Shuangli's Ming army and took away all the territory that Feng Shuangli previously occupied in Guangxi Prefecture. In half a month, soldiers surrounded Wuzhou Prefecture. Feng Shuangli of Wuzhou Prefecture lost [-] defenders on the territory of Guangxi Prefecture. , lost nearly [-] elite soldiers, and was besieged in Wuzhou Prefecture with [-] new troops and [-] directly subordinate troops.

His general and [-] soldiers were chased and killed by Kong Youxing, and they ravaged the entire coast of Guangxi and Guangdong, and they were approaching the trench gate.

15 against [-], [-] against [-] soldiers and horses, Feng Shuangli suffered a big loss.

Zhaoqing Mansion, which is only a few hundred miles away from Wuzhou Mansion, was in a panic and quickly sent Su Zhengqing's troops back.

First of all, Wang Yuqun's No.19 field brigade was called back, together with the 20 Nanming Army, [-] Nanming New Army, and [-] Imperial Guards to defend Zhaoqing Mansion. I was afraid that the [-] troops led by Kong Youde would directly rush to Zhaoqing Mansion to Nanming. The country is once again in a war of destroying the country.

The situation over there is critical, but here Su Zhengqing's troops are as powerful as Kong Youde's brothers, fighting smoothly.

Su Zhengqing led [-] new troops and [-] troops from the Southern Ming Army with cold weapons. They beat all the generals along the way, and the Ma Degong brothers who beat them cried for their fathers and mothers. They lost the Hezhou Mansion and fled to Liuzhou Mansion. Su Zhengqing led a [-] army, He rushed towards Liuzhou Mansion again, thus cutting off the Kong Youde brothers' escape route.

During this period, the main army of Li Chengdong and Tong Dawei followed behind. After arriving at Liuzhou Mansion, they turned south to sweep other places in Guangxi Prefecture, but Wang Deren's cavalry brigade was left behind to assist Su Zhengqing's army in attacking Liuzhou Mansion.

While attacking counties along the road, Li Chengdong and Tong Dawei's troops recruited surrenders and rebels. The army expanded rapidly. Li Chengdong's troops expanded from 5000 to [-] troops. Although Tong Dawei had no right to expand the army, he gathered some surrendered soldiers and generals to transport food and grass. The team is also possible, and his [-] soldiers and horses soon developed to [-] troops.

The soldiers and horses of the two expanded to nearly [-] troops.

Then accidentally besieged Nanning Mansion.

Here, the Qing army led by Kong Youxing fought more and more smoothly, and even reached the moat gate, which was besieged by the enemy for the second time.

Kong Youxing had 12 soldiers and horses, and he also recruited and accepted rebels. He gathered the surrendered soldiers and generals of the Nanming Kingdom, and the army quickly grew to [-] troops.

At this time, all parties have encountered the first hard stubble on their offensive road, and they are all gearing up to take down their opponents.

Su Zhengqing's side continued to receive orders from Su Guansheng, the chief assistant of Longwu Nanming, and had to send a brigade of Nanming's new army, plus [-] troops, led by a general, back to Zhaoqing Mansion. They didn't worry too much. Because everyone thought that Zhaoqing Mansion was close to Guangzhou Mansion, and there would be Huaxia Army to rescue it. In this way, Li Guangdi continued to stay in the army, supervised the army's siege of Liuzhou Mansion, and planned to take Liuzhou Mansion to see the situation before making a decision.

Zhang Qiang carefully examined the battle situation of several parties. At this moment, it is not possible to say that the Nanming Congress will win, nor can it be said that Kong Youde and the Qing army will win.

Feng Shuangli is a veteran, with [-] new troops to fight against the enemy's [-] new troops, plus [-] cold-armed troops, he can resist for a while, and will not be defeated in a hurry. Moreover, the Nanming army has already reached the periphery of Guilin Mansion, Liuzhou Mansion However, if Kong Youde is not afraid that his lair will be besieged, then he has to send troops back to rescue, then Feng Shuangli's enemy troops facing him will drop, and it is reasonable to hold back the army waiting to attack and return for reinforcements.

Kong Youxing's troops here are no more than 3000 soldiers and horses. Li Guangxiong followed him through the trenches. The Nanming army at the gate also has [-] soldiers and horses, so it should not be difficult to hold it. Besides, the enemy cannot take down the trench gate, because there are garrisons of the Huaxia Army, [-] marines, and the fourth army nearby. Fleet, the Fourth Fleet can drive warships into the river and use artillery to help defend.

If it doesn't work, the 23rd field brigade from Zhangzhou Prefecture will also board the boat and cross the river to help the defense of the trench gate, so the trench gate will not fall. This is Zhang Qiang's speculation.

The thing to worry about is Su Zhengqing's army. Zhang Qiang has already figured out the movement of the Qing army through the Military Intelligence Department, and it is also what he cares about most. As expected, Hong Chengchou sent 20 troops to reinforce Kong Youde in Guangxi Prefecture. Arriving at Guilin Mansion, the leader of the army was Mangurtai, a member of the royal family.

Kong Youde himself still had 30 troops stationed here, while Su Zhengqing only had nearly [-] troops. To fight against the [-] Qing troops, he would have to spend some effort and might be defeated.

Kong Youde's Ministry can't take down Wuzhou Mansion, and it is possible that they will continue to lead the army to go deep and approach Zhaoqing Mansion. He hasn't figured out how much the Huaxia Army can help Zhaoqing Mansion. The Huaxia Army has taken good care of Nanming Kingdom. It is the support of the Huaxia Army that can restore the country, but it cannot be like a nanny every time. Nanming Kingdom cannot become a dou that cannot be supported.

It would cost too much, and Zhang Qiang would not do things like buying and selling at a loss. Even if the Qing army reoccupied Guangdong Province, he would not try his best to let the Huaxia army suffer heavy losses to help Nanming.

If it is really not possible, Zhang Qiang will consider letting the Nanming Kingdom collapse, and then the Huaxia Army will directly send troops to occupy Guangdong Province, expand its own territory, and let the Nanming Kingdom perish.

Anyway, Nanming Kingdom cares about him on the surface, but he doesn’t know how much he hates him in his heart. Although he helped him up every time, he also cheated him a few times. Zhu Yujian of Longwu was killed and perished.

But Zhang Qiang knew that as a political figure, as a descendant of the Zhu family who aspired to restore Ming Dynasty, he would not be grateful to him.

Therefore, Zhang Qiang did not immediately assign Xuanyuan Longfei to rescue Nanming Kingdom, but was waiting for the opportunity.

As time passed, the battle situation gradually became clearer.

Su Zhengqing captured Liuzhou Mansion, and then had to mobilize [-] soldiers and horses to go back to aid Zhaoqing Mansion. At the same time, he ordered Li Chengdong and Tong Dawei who had surrounded Nanning Mansion to return to join him immediately, and then attacked Guilin Mansion.

When Li Chengdong received the order, he and Tong Dawei had conquered the Nanning Mansion. Tong Dawei wrote the report as a report, and after half a month's delivery, it reached Zhang Qiang. At this time, they should be on their way back to the army to reconcile with Su Zhengqing. up.

Li Chengdong left behind [-] Nanming troops. In fact, it was his generals who defended Nanning Mansion. He also left [-] Green Battalion soldiers to assist in the defense. He brought [-] troops back to Liuzhou Mansion, and waited for the news to reach Zhang Qiang's. When it was on the desk, he and Tong Dawei had already entered Liuzhou Mansion to rest and prepare to go to support Su Zhengqing.

Kong Youde's siege of Wuzhou Mansion, more than half a month of fighting, was reported to Zhang Qiang by the intelligence personnel of the Huaxia Army's military intelligence department who went to train Feng Shuangli's troops.

4 Thirty Chapters Nanming Beacon 11

When an army of 15 suddenly appeared, Feng Shuangli hurriedly called back soldiers from nearby counties and towns, brought back all the elite soldiers, and mobilized the gentry and powerful family members and generals in the city, and the number of troops reached [-]. troops.

At first, they were able to hold off in the nearby county town, but soon under the bombardment of Kong Youde's later artillery, the county town fell, and the defending Nanming army either fled or was captured, and some soldiers fled back to Wuzhou Fucheng.

Bring back the news of where the enemy is attacking.

As the days passed, the surrounding county towns fell one by one. Those elite county guards who were dispatched were the opponents of a 15 army. They defended well for a week because Kong Youde did not send his new army, etc. Kong Youde was really impatient, and sent the artillery of the new army over to bombard the area. The defenders either fled or surrendered. In less than a week, all the outer areas were lost.

Gathering thousands of Nanming troops who had fled back, and selecting [-] young men from among the people who had fled to Wuzhou, Feng Shuangli immediately began to dig trenches, set up camps, and build fortresses. , Resist Kong Youde's army.

He also sent the trainees from the Huaxia Army, whom he had never been accustomed to, to the front line to guide the excavation and defense work. Of course, he paid a lot, and he paid for it and gave away beauties.

He knew that it was not good to sharpen his guns in front of the battle, and it might not be effective, so he sent someone to find his general, asked him to bring troops back to rescue, and at the same time asked the court for reinforcements, but the news was getting more and more frightening for him day by day, his general told He himself was also on the way to escape. The army led by Kong Youxing defeated him all the way. He lost the territory in Guangxi Prefecture and the territory in Guangdong Province. The territory, the defenders on the territory of Nanming Kingdom were not all the enemy's generals, they lost the city in less than two hours, and the whole city died heroically in less than three days.

However, the opinion of the Nanming court was to let him stick to Wuzhou Mansion and not give up. As for the reinforcements, there was none.

Feng Shuangli was worried all day. On the tenth day, Wuzhou Mansion was besieged by 15 troops, and the news could not get out. It was impossible to ask for help or escape. He missed the opportunity to escape, so he had to lead his troops to resist desperately. .

On the first day, he and Kong Youde tested each other, and Kong Youde sent troops and generals to attack his first line of defense.

Located five miles outside the city, the line of defense consists of forts, trenches, and horses.

He deployed [-] soldiers and horses there, plus the artillery of the Ming army, and a team of [-] musketeers.
