Lord of Ming Dynasty

But now he finds that the situation is developing in another direction. The Huaxia Army simply ignores them and only wants to eliminate them. Judging by the situation, they want to dominate the world.

For the Loyalty Camp and the Dashun Army, who also want to dominate the world, this is a colleague, an enemy, and will always become an enemy in the future. The opponent can only fight, and now the two sides are in a state of hostility.

So he thought about letting Gao Yigong with 30 old, weak and remnant soldiers attract the enemy, and led several elite troops to attack the enemy, weaken the enemy, or defeat the enemy, just like he did against the Ming Dynasty's encirclement and suppression, or against the Qing army. , to fight the enemy's war of annihilation, war of attrition, war of movement, as long as the elite of the Dashun army is still there, even if it is severely injured, it will soon be revived in another place. He doesn't care about those civilian soldiers who make up the numbers.

The battle at the beginning was very good, the enemy was caught off guard, and he had an army of 30. He thought that the enemy would fear him, but when the Qing army retreated, the enemy was approaching step by step, forming a siege to him from the left and right. At the same time, they formed a siege to the friendly Chen Youzheng's troops. Together, the two sides must give the Huaxia Army a disarm, hurt them, declare their sovereignty and existence in Hubei Province, and let the Huaxia Army not make progress. Everyone is an army of Han people. Don't be so aggressive.

But now he finds that the situation is developing in another direction. The Huaxia Army simply ignores them and only wants to eliminate them. Judging by the situation, they want to dominate the world.

For the Loyalty Camp and the Dashun Army, who also want to dominate the world, this is a colleague, an enemy, and will always become an enemy in the future. The opponent can only fight, and now the two sides are in a state of hostility.

So he thought about letting Gao Yigong with 30 old, weak and remnant soldiers attract the enemy, and led several elite troops to attack the enemy, weaken the enemy, or defeat the enemy, just like he did against the Ming Dynasty's encirclement and suppression, or against the Qing army. , to fight the enemy's war of annihilation, war of attrition, war of movement, as long as the elite of the Dashun army is still there, even if it is severely injured, it will soon be revived in another place. He doesn't care about those civilian soldiers who make up the numbers.

Chapter 481 The Strength of the Loyalty Battalion

Hearing the report from the cavalry of the Ming army, Li Guo sighed. He knew that He Tengjiao, a coward, had escaped a catastrophe. Because he launched an attack on the Huaxia army, the enemy called back the troops that attacked him.

Now that the enemy has enough troops, and surrounded themselves on all sides, I'm afraid this battle will be difficult.

Now I can still get rid of the enemy's encirclement and suppression through some terrains, and escape back and forth between Chen Youzheng and Dashun Zhongzhen Camp. After a few days, the enemy's encirclement will form, and Chen Youzheng will not be able to escape. He can run back and forth between the two terrains , it doesn't make any sense anymore, as long as the enemy surrounds the two of them, the Loyalty Camp will eventually be unable to hold on.

There are too many troops in the Zhongzheng Battalion and too little food and grass. This is the bottleneck restricting the development of the Zhongzheng Battalion. Originally, the strength of the Zhongzheng Battalion was the advantage of the Zhongzheng Battalion. Anyone who heard that there were so many troops would either be shocked and dare not attack, or they would not Without delaying time, mobilizing more troops to attack, this gave myself time to calmly arrange and escape. Now the Huaxia army is surrounded on all sides, but they don't besiege. The purpose of fighting is to starve to death the loyalty camp.

"Come here, go and write back to General Gao, asking him to mobilize [-] capable soldiers, plus [-] civilians, and send them to Chen Youzheng for his command." Li Guo stared into the distance with sharp eyes like eagle eyes. fields, cried aloud.

The generals knew his purpose as soon as they heard what he said, so they threw the burden to the friendly army Chen Youzheng, asked the friendly army to support the [-] trapped civilians for him, and at the same time used [-] ready-to-fight soldiers to sweeten the enemy, so that the enemy would not Refused.

Chen Youzheng's total strength is only a little over 1. With this 11 troops, there will be extra troops whether it is defending the city or attacking. This will cause more trouble for the Huaxia Army and relieve the pressure on the Zhongzheng Camp. .

At night, Zhang Qiang's war eagle had been patrolling the battlefield for several hours, checked around the Jingzhou mansion, and went back to the mansion.

A few days later, all the troops were mobilized, and he also collected a lot of information about the Zhongzheng Battalion and Chen Youzheng's army, and asked the attendants in the attendant's room to write out the information, and then distributed it to all the troops, and all the troops knew about it. The deployment of the enemy's troops, and even how many troops are guarding are all clear.

Coupled with the continuous infiltration of intelligence agents from the Ministry of Military Intelligence, sending back news, the scout cavalry has been scouting the enemy's movements for days, and the Loyalty Battalion and the Anyway Army have no more secrets.

Li Guo ran around with his elite cavalry again, attacked the scout cavalry, and robbed the food supply unit. As the Huaxia army shrank, he returned without success many times. Facing the counterattack of the Huaxia army, the supply troops Musketeers and artillery have also been added, as well as the bows and arrows of the militia, broadswords, spears, and shields, and his cavalry has also lost a lot.

Li Guo found that the enemy seemed to know where he came from, and could always send troops to wait for him at his destination. Whether it was an infantry attack or a cavalry sneak attack, the enemy always knew his purpose one step ahead, and increased their troops accordingly.

This made him very distressed, so he had to restrain himself, and led his troops back to Jingzhou Fucheng.

A few days later, the enemy completely cut off their connection with Chen Youzheng's army and closed the road. A force of [-] cavalry and [-] militiamen completely blocked their passage to Chen Youzheng's army. Troops were deployed, a fort was built, and a cannon was mounted on the fort. It was the enemy's relatively powerful six-pound gun, which had a range of more than one mile. It was impossible to take down the fort without huge casualties.

A few days later, the enemy's various troops began to compress their space for activities, and slowly mobilized their troops to the border of Jingzhou Prefecture, encircling them on all sides.

In the northwest, there is most of the No. 20 First Field Brigade of Merlin Fish, in the west there is the No. 20 Fourth Field Brigade, and an enemy garrison regiment, plus tens of thousands of newly formed militias and transformed captive soldiers. There is the enemy's No.19 field brigade in the south, the enemy's No.20 field brigade in the east, and the enemy's cavalry brigade and militia units in the north.

Fortunately, during this period, they successfully broke through the enemy's weak force, and sent [-] civilians and [-] soldiers to Chen Youzheng, hoping that they could defeat the enemy's Seventh Field Brigade, and then send troops to rescue They are loyal camps.

To say that the Zhongzhen Camp is not without strength, with 30 troops, even if Chen Youzheng is given 20 troops and 500 battle-ready soldiers, there are still 1000 troops. Among them are the elite veterans who followed the Dashun Army More than 1 people, and more than [-] veterans of the Ming army who joined later, and more than [-] Han veterans of the Han army banner of the Qing army who were transformed from captives.

These [-] most loyal veterans of the Dashun Army are now at least a general of a hundred households, and the tallest is already a general who leads an army alone. Many veterans who joined the Ming Army later joined the Dashun Army's Loyalty Camp to share weal and woe. , is more loyal to the Zhongzhen Camp, and can be said to be the backbone of the Dashun Army.

These more than 500 troops are the backbone officers of the 2 elite soldiers of the Zhongzhen Battalion who supported him and Gao Yigong and other generals of the Dashun Army. Under his command are more than 1 veterans of the Han Army Banner. These veterans of the Han Army Banner followed them south. In the Northern War, soldiers in Henan Prefecture, Hubei Prefecture, Huguangzhou, and even across Shaanxi, Gansu and other places, at least they will not turn against the Qing army before the war.

In addition to the [-] elite veterans, there are also [-] soldiers from the Ming army, Qing army, and rebel army who have taken refuge in Hubei Province and Huguangzhou. They have all seen blood and can fight. They belong to several different factions, but they are also soldiers who can be driven in wartime. Generals can be regarded as soldiers of the Loyalty Battalion.

In addition, Li Guo himself has a cavalry unit that has fought north and south with him, and has fought fiercely with the Qing army and the Southern Ming army. There are about 1000 cavalry troops. Thousands of cavalry, and some soldiers who can ride horses were selected from the army to form [-] available cavalry. These cavalry made a lot of contributions to the surprise attack on the Huaxia Army's supply troops and scout troops.

That is to say, there are at least [-] soldiers in the Zhongzhen Battalion this time, all veterans who have experienced the fire of war, and their strength is much stronger than that of Chen Youzheng.

These people are good at sneak attacks, mobile warfare, and roving combat. If they are placed in a place with complex terrain and given a wide space, 30 Ming troops may not be able to defeat them. It can be said that compared with Li Zicheng's troops in history Even stronger.

But now Li Guo is somewhat regretful. If he had known that the Huaxia Army had adopted such a method, he would have sent the [-] troops to flee and fight instead of fighting the enemy. The order of the upper court threw him here, and let him block the Huaxia Army for him.

This old fox is still as cunning as ever. Fighting against the enemy always drives people like himself to go up, like fighting against the Qing army, like this when fighting against the Huaxia army. Those who come into contact with forces know that the enemy's strength is weak, and then they rush to fight, always taking credit for themselves.

Chapter 482 Chen Youzheng is in crisis anyway

Chen Youzheng is also suffering from pain, he is not as powerful and powerful as Zhongzhenying, and he is not recognized by Yongli Daming in the officialdom, instead he is squeezed out.

They were originally active in this generation, attacking the Qing army, dealing with the Qing army, fighting against some of the Qing army's bravery, rural bravery, at most attacking some green battalion Qing troops with few soldiers, and really confronting the Qing army head-on Very little time.

After the Qing army withdrew, he originally thought that this generation would be his world, but He Tengjiao immediately sent someone to give him an official hat, a nine-rank inspection, and then collected his soldiers and took the team away Most of the elites in the army split up and disintegrated his troops, and he also did his ninth-rank inspection with peace of mind.

Later, the situation developed too fast, and the generals sent by He Tengjiao ran away overnight with some of the elite, and the local soldiers they collected that belonged to him dispersed.

But when he understood, it was when those former subordinates came to look for him and heard that the Huaxia Army was coming.

He has long been known to the Huaxia Army, and has been famous for a long time.

From the point of view of nature, the Huaxia Army is actually a rebel army, which is similar to the team he originally pulled up. But from the division of camps, the Huaxia Army belongs to the Ming Army of the Lujian Kingdom in the southeast, and later the Ming Army of Longwu Nanming. The Yongli Daming Army, who has been fighting against the Qing Army since his rise, is no longer in the same camp as the Yongli Daming.

The distance is so far apart geographically. If there is no future development, it is estimated that it will be difficult for them to gather together or have any intersections. However, with the development of the situation, the Huaxia Army has repeatedly defeated the Qing Army that wiped them out, and their strength has become stronger and stronger. However, Yongli Daming was defeated again and again, and was suppressed and beaten by the Qing army.

However, they belonged to a rebel army in the Yongli Daming camp. They had to flee in embarrassment when they were fighting against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The army fought with countless casualties, but this also allowed Chen Youzheng and his troops to accumulate a wealth of combat experience. Chen Youzheng is very shrewd, and he set the combat goals of his troops on those weak and weak townsmen, bravery, and regiments. , I regained my confidence in them and developed the team.

He made a name for himself in this area, and more and more people defected to him. Some weak leaders of the rebel army came to him with their own troops. These leaders of the rebel army became the generals and backbone of his army. He took them everywhere. Fleeing, attacking the enemy, and later attacking some green camp Qing troops with few troops, causing a lot of damage to the enemy.

That is to say, the combat capability of the army has been tempered, many elite soldiers have been trained, and the influence of this army has been expanded, and its reputation has spread far and wide.

However, the Lord got into trouble and was chased by Tan Tai's troops, an elite Manchu army of the Qing army.

Later, they met Li Guo's Zhongzheng Camp. The two troops cooperated with each other and fought several battles, which made Tan Tai ashamed. I went to Fujian to help Yongli Daming fight the Qing army.

He could only continue to fight with a growing rebel army. Later, a Ming army incorporated them, gave them weapons and equipment, and mixed them into the Ming army. This is Du Yin who escaped from Jiangxi Prefecture. Tin's army.

Following this army, they traveled all over Jiangxi Prefecture, Hubei Prefecture, Huguangzhou, and even entered Yungui Prefecture and Guangxi Prefecture to fight against the Qing army. However, in one battle, Azig and Duoduo's troops surrounded The Ming army fought fiercely for several days. He followed a general of the Ming army and broke out with the remnants of the defeated general. Soon the general surrendered to the Qing army. General of the Green Camp of the Qing Army.

Instead, the Ming army came after He Tengjiao.

A few months later, he had become the garrison acquaintance of a 2000-man army. In a case of discord with a Manchu general, he led this army to kill dozens of Manchu Qing soldiers and generals who were monitoring them. Then he announced that anyway, he took the troops back to the place where he made his fortune, raised his arms, and recruited [-] young and strong men to become an anti-anti army.

Since the activities of this generation were all the Ming army forces of the Yongli Ming Dynasty, he linked up with them and became a Ming army unit in the Yongli Daming court camp.

However, because he was in the Qing army before, he was out of tune with other insurgents. The opponents looked down on him and guarded against him, so his army was quite independent, which also allowed him to firmly control the army.

Battles with the Qing army occurred from time to time, and the relationship with the Yongli Daming was inseparable. Everyone was both an ally and an enemy, fighting each other.

It has been like this for so many years. It was not until the Huaxia Army rose strongly, defeated the Qing Army in several large-scale battles, and regained a large area of ​​land in the southeast, that they looked up to this army.

As the situation continued to change, the land of the Ming Dynasty was divided into fragments, and multiple entity countries were formed, entering the era of disputes among the nations. The Huaxia Army in the south was thriving, while the Qing Army in the north was still strong, and the Yongli Daming was still loose. In the past, Chen Youzheng's anyway army was not affected much, and remained as it was, staying in the Yongli Daming camp.

Today, the Huaxia Army and the Nanming Army have developed their forces from the southeast to the southwest, and the north has successively occupied Jiangxi Prefecture, Huzhou and Guangzhou, and now they have penetrated into the territory of Hubei Prefecture, directly facing the northeast of Yongli Daming. Li Daming is about to be expelled, and this will be the place where the Huaxia Army will compete with the Qing Army in the future, and other forces will not be able to survive at all.

But Chen Youzheng, Li Guo, and He Tengjiao were not reconciled. The three forces linked up and formed a loose alliance to maintain this situation.

It's not that they don't know the strength of the Huaxia Army, but that's how they came here. They have experienced the strength of the Qing Army, but what's the matter?Didn't they come through the gap between the Qing army and the Yongli Ming and Longwu Nanming?
