Lord of Ming Dynasty

Maybe in the end they can't beat the enemy and need to escape from the ferry.

The [-] soldiers plus [-] cavalry were divided into two parts to control the two bridges, which were also their most important retreat.

There are still [-] troops plus [-] soldiers, and [-] cavalry go to the camps on both sides of the river to collect the corpses and clean the battlefield. Where the battle is over, the fleeing enemies will not pursue them. They occupy the camps and then reinforce the camps. Battalion, defend the camp, and be prepared to fight the enemy for a long time.

After splitting out 3000 soldiers and 3 cavalry, he and Wang Deren's main force did not lose much, but with more than 1 troops, so their main force still has more than [-], and there are also [-] sent by Longwu Nanming. More reinforcements, [-] new troops plus [-] soldiers.

This army also lost a lot before, one thousand new troops, two thousand soldiers, so in the end Li Chengdong, Tong Dawei, and Wang Deren's main force had more than 4 main forces that could fight, and they were panicked in the face of the enemy's [-] , the combination of the two troops of the Qing army guarding the camp that was suddenly hit and covered.

After the Qing army sent [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry to escort the captives back to Li Chengdong's barracks to take care of them, his total strength was still [-].

"Boom, boom, boom," the drums on Li Chengdong's side sounded again.

The [-] troops are mainly arquebus troops, the artillery troops are on the two wings, the cold weapon troops are behind, the cavalry troops are on the two wings and the rear, and the middle battalion slowly follows and presses towards the enemy.

Mang Gurtai finally understood the enemy's plan. The enemy was taking advantage of its large number of firearms and was planning to fight him one at a time, similar to the battle he fought with Su Zhengqing at the beginning.

The muscles on his face kept twitching. He really didn't want to fight that kind of battle with the Nanming army. He was good at horseback riding. For such a firearms battle, he felt that what they gave him was a complete humiliation, because only The enemy suppresses you and hits you, but you can't get close to the enemy and hurt the enemy. They have brought the distance war to the extreme.

But he had to fight an even more brutal battle with the enemy because he had no choice.

Chapter 442 Nanming Beacon 23 - Reversal 7

Just when the battle in Guilin Mansion started again, and monk Kong Youde happily chose to sneak attack the Yunnan Prefecture of Yongli Daming, which was empty of troops and defenses, the troops and officers ordered by Zhang Qiang had already arrived at Raozhou Prefecture.

Zhang Qiang exchanged pleasantries with Xiao Fei, Brother Zhu, and Merlin Yu for a while, and then got to the point.

"The reason why we called you here this time and mobilized our troops is that our plan for the Qing army has been more than half successful. The Qing army has transferred 50 troops from our confronting Hong Chengchou troops to support the four mountains. , Shaanxi, Gansu, Guangxi, and other places, we successfully paralyzed the enemy and dispersed the enemy's forces. This will be of great help to our next cross-river battle and the final defeat of the Manchu Qing court by weapons, but-this is still It’s not enough, we should do more.”

He looked at the few heroes who followed him in the South and North Wars and created the prosperity of the Huaxia Army.

"Where shall we fight?"

'I have long been worried about the confrontation with the Qing army, sitting quietly, watching the increasing strength of the Qing army, and I want to have a hearty fight with them. '

Xiao Fei said eagerly.

"Yes, it's the same for me. When defending Jiujiang Mansion, only those militiamen build houses, repair fortifications, patrol, and then fight with the enemy. I'm tired. I really want to experience a big battle in Raozhou Mansion. One battle will determine the world. In that battle, we wiped out 60 enemy troops, didn't we?"

Brother Zhu was also very excited. He knew that Zhang Qiang called him this time because he wanted them to fight, and he still hoped for such a feeling.

Merlin Yu also said: "Yes, Chief Governor, I also want to fight the enemy quickly, instead of staying by your side and doing some unimportant work."

"They're all passionate young people." Zhang Qiang sighed inwardly.

"Well, my opinion is this," Zhang Qiang paused for a moment, and then said when several young people fixed their gazes on his face.

"Xiao Fei is the commander-in-chief this time, Brother Zhu, you hand over one regiment of the cavalry brigade to Xiao Fei, and Merlin Yu, you also hand over one regiment of the cavalry regiment to Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, you bring your personal guards Together with the cavalry regiment of the third field brigade, you will form a campaign headquarters. At the same time, Brother Zhu, you will hand over the command task of a militia brigade to Xiao Fei, and then give Liu Liangzuo the task of defending Jiujiang Mansion. He will rule the entire Nanchang, Jiujiang government."

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Zhang Qiang continued: "Xiao Fei, as the commander-in-chief, will no longer charge to the front line. He will be in the middle to command. You two are the generals who charge to the front line. Xiao Fei was promoted to the commander-in-chief. You Still the lieutenant general, the remaining troops of your cavalry brigade will serve as an auxiliary unit to cooperate with you in operations, and you will still be under your command. Xiao Fei handed over the work of the third field brigade to Ma Hansan, and you will command the third field brigade where he is in command The two of them."

"Brother Zhu commanded the No.20 field brigade, plus the remaining troops of your second cavalry brigade, Liu Liangzuo will assign the artillery brigade and artillery of the garrison to you. Each of you can get the artillery of the field brigade Half of the artillery brigade's support, um, so the strength of the field brigade will increase to 4000 troops, plus 6000 and [-] troops of the cavalry brigade, plus [-] troops of the artillery brigade, the total strength will be more than [-] troops."

"Merlin Yu, you command the No.20 [-]st Field Brigade. The total strength and distribution of troops are the same as those commanded by Brother Zhu, which is also [-] troops,"

"Xiao Fei, the most elite cavalry of the [-] cavalry brigade you command here, plus a militia brigade's supplies and logistics supply troops, the total strength has reached [-] troops. Your task is to command them, and then lead Leading the militia to secure their logistical supplies and occupy the county seat of Huguangzhou, starting from Jiujiang Prefecture, all the way to Yuezhou Prefecture."

"Although Yuezhou Mansion is in Huguang, where the wind and rain are precarious, the Qing army has no time and energy to deal with it, so even though most of the people we retreated there, as well as all the militia and regular army, only a garrison of 2000 people was left The troops control it, but it is still under our control. You can use it as your first headquarters, relying on the support of Liu Liangzuo from Jiujiang Prefecture and Nanchang Prefecture, and then fight out until the border of Guangxi Prefecture. Maybe when the time comes There will be Wang Yuqun’s No.19 Field Brigade and the troops of the Nanming Army to cooperate and support you, and then you will fight from south to north and occupy Huguang for me.”

Zhang Qiang paused to sort out his thoughts, and then said to the three people who were focused on listening to him: "At that time, Wang Yuqun's No.19 Field Brigade will also participate, and Tong Dawei's Fifth Field Brigade will also participate, and Guangxi Prefecture will be handed over to Nanming. Army, let's not rub against them, and ignore the friction of the Nanming Army. Leave the militia and the follow-up garrison battalion to defend, and you can also leave a group of wounded soldiers to help defend. The overall situation continues to attack upwards and enter the territory of Hubei. Disturb Hubei for me and attract the attention of the enemy's frontal Qing army, then the enemy will have to mobilize more troops to attack you."

He focused his gaze on Xiao Fei, "It's up to you when the time comes, hold it up for me, nail it to where it is, take Huguang, break into Hubei, and it will shake the foundation of the Qing army. Big ones, we You can continue to attack Henan Mansion, then enter Shandong Prefecture, and surround them from behind. At that time, I will launch a big offensive to completely eliminate the Qing army on the opposite side of us. At the very least, you can return to Huguang. At that time, we must have stabilized If the situation in Huguang has been compromised, at worst, we can occupy one more Huguang and become another state under our control."

After explaining to the three of them, the three stepped back to make preparations. The preparations will take some time, and the battlefield on the Nanming Army's side has already reached a fever pitch.

Zhang Qiang released the war eagle again, and after several hours of flying, the war eagle reached the sky above the battlefield.

The battle has indeed reached a fever pitch.

Although Manggurtai was quite tired, and the soldiers were also quite tired, deserters quietly appeared in a small area.

At night, a few scattered soldiers began to flee from the edge of the battlefield. Most of them fled into the surrounding villages, mountains and woods, and then rested for a while and continued to flee. They will not return to the battlefield, and then return to Guilin Mansion. It's a hell here.

Even if the Qing army won and fought for such a long time, even those strong men who were forced to come over by the Qing army, those who could or survived had already seen blood and were quite knowledgeable veterans. They knew that the Qing army After the heavy loss of troops, they will definitely not be able to defend Guilin Mansion, or if they hold it, the strength of the Qing army here will also be greatly damaged. For a long time, they will become the targets of Mangurtai and the Qing army to vent their anger, so they fled up.

The battlefield is full of gunpowder smoke and flames, and the sound of fighting.

For a while, Zhang Qiang couldn't tell who was the winner when he fell to the ground, but he could clearly see the movements of some deserters.

Like crumbs falling from a crispy flatbread, more and more.

But Li Chengdong, who was a man at the time, knew that the enemy's troops were depleted far faster than him.

Chapter 443 Nanming Beacon 24 - Reversal 8

Li Chengdong really loves the tactics of the Huaxia Army's muskets queuing up to shoot, artillery to help out, and cavalry to look for opportunities to assault the enemy's array.

In the beginning, he cleverly called back all the troops that raided the enemy, because of his many years of combat experience, the enemy's troops were far more powerful than his own, even with the addition of Su Zhengqing's remaining nearly [-] soldiers who were still resisting Ma, also can't get a little hope of victory from the enemy. He also followed Mangurtai and was one of his main generals.

When Li Zicheng was defeated by the Qing army and fled thousands of miles away, he followed Gao Jie and the others with the remnants of the Dashun Army to fight north and south, and finally had to surrender to the Qing army, because the situation of the Qing army obviously wanted to unify China. Under such a situation, He is not a loyal minister and good general. It doesn’t matter to him to change the emperor in China, even if it is not a Han alien, or the Dajin Jurchen who defeated the Han court regime hundreds of years ago. He doesn’t care about these, he only cares about himself The glory and wealth of the future generations will be the glory and wealth of the descendants.

In the end, he chose to surrender to the Qing army, but after being defeated by the Huaxia army, his dream was once shaky. He is not very fancy, so he was not reused in the Qing army. How much effort and price he paid to be reused, in exchange for the suppression and distrust of him by the Qing army.

Finally, he turned around and joined the Nanming army.

But Nanming ended with the destruction of the country, and he took refuge in Yongli Daming, but Yongli Daming was beaten into a mess by the Qing army. At this time, Longwu Nanming rose again with the support of the Huaxia Army, and took Guangdong Province lightly. At this time He came back cheeky again.

People, it counts only if they can survive, and if they can find a higher starting point, don't be shameless. Now, Nanming Kingdom seems to be dying. If this battle can establish a victory, he can at least get the appointment of an admiral. Being able to become a prince, although not as good as his peak moment in the Qing army, is not too bad.

The Qing army is not doing well now. The Qing army seems to be suppressing Ming and Nanming on all fronts, but they are suppressed by the rising Huaxia Army on the Yangtze River. This place wanted to weaken Nanming, but unfortunately Nanming fought back, so the situation of inviting troops at this time is really not very good, he thinks he can still stay here for a while.

See if he can get promoted and make a fortune. The place he most wants to go now is the Huaxia Army.

He knew that the current army under his command, the Nanming Army, was not as powerful as a cavalry brigade of the Huaxia Army. Although Tong Dawei followed them, he did not contribute very much. It was him and Wang Deren's troops who contributed, and the cannon fodder was the reinforcements from the Nanming Army .

The reinforcements from the Nanming army became the main fighting force, and the cunning Wang Deren and he didn't want their troops to lose too much.

The reinforcements without fathers and mothers became coolies, and the captured Qing army became complete cannon fodder. They consumed the strength of the Qing army and resisted the impact of the Qing army. Then the reinforcements of the Nanming army went up to kill the enemy's backbone. The troops in the army acted as elites to stabilize the battlefield, and put pressure on the enemy's [-] army step by step. In the end, the cannon fodder soldiers were finished, and the enemy's strength was consumed by several thousand.

The 6000 reinforcements of the Nanming Army were all killed and injured. More than [-] musketeers and [-] artillerymen caused tens of thousands of damage to the enemy. , the Qing army was already on the verge of collapse.

Hundreds, hundreds of Qing soldiers fled frantically, and fled to Mangurtai, "Flee, the more you flee, the easier it is to fight on his side. If these [-] Qing troops are wiped out, even Mangurtai, he also has to weigh the strength of his own side, and he dare not attack his side again. Then, the best result of this battle is that the enemy collapses, and Mangurtai leads the defeated soldiers to retreat decently. Xiang Guilin Mansion, as for the future occupation, it depends on how Su Zhengqing plays, after all, he is the main general, if Li Chengdong and Wang Deren can rescue him, promotion and fortune are certain."

Seeing that the enemy was collapsing faster and faster, and Su Zhengqing's troops were being oppressed to resist desperately in a space that couldn't be smaller, Li Chengdong glanced at Wang Deren, who was also thinking in the distance, and waved his hands. The cavalry pressed out.

Over there, Wang Deren also cooperated and pushed out. Wang Deren was pushed up by the whole cavalry, and he didn't have many infantry.

The two sides pressed out, and the effect quickly took effect. The Qing army, who was afraid of being surrounded, immediately collapsed in a large area, frantically passed through the passage opened by Mangurtai, and ran from the fields on both sides to the Qing army on the Mangurtai side. .
