Chapter 65:The End of a Despot

Da Shunjun and the Qing army passed through Chongyang one after the other, and successively went in the direction of the mountain, but the shock they left behind was deeply in the hearts of the soldiers of the Gongyi camp.

Yuan Zongdi's troops have just lost the battle, the situation is very awkward, but still maintain a strict military discipline, in Chongyang City under a stop between, clean and clear, progress and retreat.There is no doubt that this unit is an elite veteran of the rest of the war, and it is also the last old foundation of Yuan Zong, with excellent quality and tenacious will.

The performance of the Qing army can only be described as stunning, no matter how much everyone hates the Tatar, they have to admit that the Eight Flags Brigade is indeed the first soldier in the world.The most terrible thing is that the Tatars are carrying a hundred battles and victories on their bodies, and the 50 white soldiers howled in the city, and the dragons and tigers, as if they were fifty dangerous beasts, did not look in the eyes of hundreds of Ming soldiers on the wall.

Wang Sheng and others privately discussed, also think that the Gongyi camp is not their opponent, those Tartar soldiers grew up on horseback, from childhood to be trained as soldiers, the generals of the generals of the generals are also rolling over, the Gongyi camp these farmers who have just put down the hoe, no matter how hard training, or obviously worse than them.

In addition, the camp also has a natural short board, because of the difference between water and soil and eating habits, the northern people are stronger than the southerners, even if those who have been riding from childhood are rumbling legs, they still look taller than the soldiers of the Gongyi camp.

The war of this era is mainly based on hand-to-hand combat, and the man is half lower than the other side, and has not lost half of the battle.

These are the objective difficulties that cannot be avoided, rather than deliberately concealing, it is better to break and break the idea as soon as possible, Wang Kefan took all the problems to the table, and launched a big discussion within the Gongyi camp.

In addition, Wang Kefan, together with Xu Bingzhong, contacted various townships in Chongyang territory to implement the strong wall clearing and self-guaranteed in the name of wartime military management.

For the villagers of the villagers, most of their property is a field house, can not move, can not take away, can not pat the ass like ordinary people to escape.Therefore, they are willing to strengthen the strength of self-protection, recruit and train, build villages, do not seek to resist the attack of the army, at least to prevent the small stock of the rout溃.

In the years of the barren horse, as long as it is a slightly larger village, there are several people who borrow food every day, and the banner of playing is bigger than one, Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu, He Teng... and even the Tartar Marshal Azig, are sending people all over the world to borrow food, some of whom call themselves the flag bearer, which sounds like an unknown person, and has been directly bombarded by the squire.

Hao shook the flag before some of the thorns to Puchao, located north of Chongyang, closer to Wuchang Province, military and civilian officials had long escaped, he did not bother to occupy there, and then sent four people to fight for food.

But this kind of food also needs cost, if the other side is already ready, fight to resist, break a stockade to casualties dozens, or even hundreds of brothers, but finally can not get much food, is to steal chickens will not erode the rice.

Therefore, the best way is to borrow food, as long as the other person knows, do not have to tear the face desperately.

The food team was initially active around Pudong, although the stockade of food can be borrowed less, in general, it is still smooth, who knows after entering Chongyang, but successively touched a few hard nails, a fight of grain did not borrow.Hao shook the flag and asked, there was still a Ming army in the city of Chongyang County, supporting those villages behind...

Chongyang County, Wang Kefan is in the discussion with Xu Bingzhong, and the emergency of Lu Chuan hastily walked in.

“Son, Lord, you’re in trouble!Hao waved the flag to send someone to borrow food, and the mouth should be 500 stones...”

“So much!”Xu Bingzhong was surprised that since Hao shook the flag of the troops into Pu, he has been very worried, sure, people are now looking for the door.

“The messenger also appears to be a thief, arrogant and impertinent, full of words of intimidation, and how to deal with it and be honored.”Lu Chuan said: "In the eyes of the bal, it is better to gather two or three hundred stones of rice for him and send him away to buy a peace..."

"This..." Xu Bingzhong felt something wrong, hesitated, and turned to Wang Kefan and said, "Xian, this matter still needs your idea."

Chongyang County, although there is a lot of food, but most of them are bought out of their own pockets, stored in the Gongyi camp, without his permission, no one wants to use, but the last time Yuan Zongdi transit, Wang Kefan even sent him 50 stone grain, want to come this time will also agree.

"No, not a stone."Wang Kefan's answer was beyond his surprise.

“Not a stone?”Xu Bingzhong was surprised and persuaded, "If there are too many two hundred stones, then a hundred stones, ah, even if it is 50 stones, how to deal with this group of thieves."

Retiring has long been explored and understood, Hao waved the flag to Pu Dao after constantly receiving the rout, his men and horses at least 278, if not given a little food, if he irritated to attack Chongyang, it is because of small loss.

Wang Kefan shook his head: "The heart is not enough for a snake to swallow, you give him fifty stones today, tomorrow he will come back to a hundred stones, even if you give 500 stones at a time, he will want a thousand stones next time..."

Last time Yuan Zongdi passed in transit, left and right are a hammer sale, it does not matter to give him some food, Hao waved the flag next to Chongyang, when want to borrow food, sent a messenger to take the boat.He has nearly 30,000 horses under his command, that is, 30,000 mouths, 30,000 belly men who can eat and pull, although there are many grains in Chongyang, they cannot afford such an army.

Sooner or later that day, Hao waved the flag or turned his face, Chongyang raised him strong soldiers, but he broke the grain and grass, no longer need to fight, directly surrendered.

Under his explanation, Xu Bingzhong finally gave up the intention of borrowing food.

“Send the messenger away, don’t talk about death, you can delay a day for a day...”

Although knowing that it is impossible, there is still the last fluke in Xu Bing, hoping that Hao shakes the flag to make any accident and does not come to attack Chongyang.

...

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, the more the Hao flag-raising soldiers soon arrived.

The army was 10 miles away from the city.

This is a very cautious choice, for the unsteady offensive side, there is such a long distance as a buffer, can easily deal with the city's garrison disturbance.

But at the same time, this also means that the Dashun army did not have the intention to besiege Chongyang, Hao waved the flag brought 15,000 people, it is impossible to form a complete encirclement on such a large radius.If he wants to completely destroy the camp of justice, he should be closer to the wall and narrow the encirclement a little further.

He was going to push Wang Kefan away!

Attacking this county, and attacking those villages, we must consider the cost and benefits, if the defenders fight to death, too many casualties are not cost-effective, the best result is to force the Ming army out of Chongyang.According to the information that is rebuking and investigation, there is enough grain and grass in Chongyang City, if it can be successfully taken down, it will no longer be necessary to worry about food in a short period of time.

Of course, this requires the garrison in the city to fight the pain first, so that they have to run.

Hao waved the flag to check the Chongyang city defense, but also realized that this is a difficult bone, he did not rush to attack the city, but built a camp, build equipment, patience to carry out all kinds of preparations.

In the upper part of the city, the Ming Army and the Shun Army were far from each other, and they did not disturb each other for ten days, but everyone knew that the war was imminent...

...

At the same time, the Dashun Army and the Qing army are approaching the Jiujiang Festival, Zuo Liangyu as a shun forward, ready to lead the department to continue to advance east, but before leaving, it was found that He Tengzhao disappeared, asking his subordinates, only to know that he was not ready to jump the Yangtze River, life and death do not know.

Zuo Liangyu could not trace the whereabouts of He Tengzhao, and ordered soldiers and horses to leave Jiujiang, unexpectedly, and suddenly fell ill that night, coughing up three liters of blood and died.

After his death, the crowd will promote the left dream, continue to advance along the Yangtze River, the Hongguang court hastily transferred the four towns of Jiangnan to intercept, and the left side of the fierce battle, the left dream army is unstable, defeated...

At the beginning of the establishment of the Nanming Hongguang Dynasty, the Chao Noir thought that it could be imitated by the Southern Song Dynasty, rowing the river and ruling, and at least supporting one hundred and eighty years, but in fact, it would be destroyed in just one year.

The reasons for this are very complicated, but Zuo Liangyu "Qingjun side" is an important military inducement, at this time, the army has entered the northern Jiangsu, the army straight guide to Beijing, Shi Kefa trapped in Yangzhou lonely city, the lack of major generals in the hands, the main force of the four towns of Nanming Jiangnan was taken out of the air, and the left dream of you to fight the civil war, resulting in the Jiangbei defense line.

Jiangxi, Azig followed the river by boat, and finally caught up with Li Zicheng in the west of Jiujiang for forty miles, and the thunder hit, and defeated nearly 100,000 people in the Dashun Army.

Li Zicheng was half-born, the ups and downs, the battle of Jiujiang was his last fiasco, almost lost the family base, the old camp of the Dashun Army was broken by the Qing army, General Liu Zongmin, the army division Song offered advice, and a large number of family members of the army were captured.

Liu Zongmin and Li Zicheng's two uncles were directly killed, Song gave advice but was not ashamed of the origin of the god stick, played a few hands of small spells, the group of people have not seen the world of Manchu buns to make a stop, was regarded as a foreigner, received courtesy.

Li broke through the residual division from the cost-man ratio, it is easy to get rid of the pursuit of the Qing army, take the path to the area of the mountain retreat, intending to turn over the Nine Palaces Mountain and re-enter the lake, and converging with the Hao rocking flag in the area of Pudi...
