Chapter 93 Return to Jiang Fang
In the Jiashen year, the Northern Capital was destroyed. When Nanjing was first established, the position of emperor of the Ming Dynasty was actually quite a delicious bun, and many vassals wanted to be emperors.
But when Nanjing was destroyed and Hangzhou fell, the position of Emperor Ming was actually a very dangerous position, so there were not many vassals fighting for it.
Many vassals, King Lu, King Zhou, and King Heng, all surrendered to the Qing court, while King Lu Zhu Yihai was caught by the gentry in eastern Zhejiang on the way to escape and was forced to take the throne of the governor.
Once you are in this position, you need to bear huge responsibilities, which not only concerns the political future of the officials and gentry in eastern Zhejiang and more than 100,000 Zhejiang soldiers, but also bears huge shame and the people of the world to restore the Ming Dynasty.
These responsibilities and expectations once made Zhu Yihai breathless, and the strength of the Qing Dynasty, especially the previous failure of Rehang, made him unable to see any hope.
Today, the army he waved in the most direct way to annihilate more than 4,000 Eight Banners soldiers that could not be seen, allowing him to see a glimmer of hope. Only tears can express his emotions in his heart.
At this time, Fang Guoan and others came over, and many Zhejiang generals finally chewed Li Lutai with a hard bone. After being excited, they looked at each other speechless.
Zhu Yihai hurriedly stopped his emotions, came up with joy, and held Fang Guoan's hand tightly, "General, you have made great contributions to this battle!"
Everyone looked around the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh as they listened to the cheers of the soldiers.
After the battle between Jinniu Ridge, everyone finally breathed out after the Nandu was overthrown.
Zhu Yihai looked at it and suddenly said loudly: "Where is Zhao Bo'an? This battle has his contributions, and the Lone King wants to reward him!"
If Zhao Ming hadn't thrown the explosive bag, Jinniu Ling wouldn't have won so quickly.
Zhu Yihai only felt that he had picked up a big treasure. He was not only extremely brave, but also good at using his brains. He was quite loyal and righteous, so he could be his Han Yue.
At this time, Zhao Ming walked over from afar, waved his hand, and saluted, "Your Highness, this is not busy, the most urgent thing is to return to the army immediately and consolidate the defense of the river!"
Although Li led 10,000 people from Tai's troops were completely wiped out, the Lu regime, facing the disadvantages of the Qing army, did not change.
The Duoduo army could cross the river at any time, and the Zhejiang troops would have to do anything to annihilate the 4,000-eight banners. If the Duoduo army breaks through the river defense, there would be no need to fight.
Therefore, it is not the time to celebrate!
Zhu Yihai nodded when he heard this, and he recovered from his soberness. "Just as soon as the news came from Zhang Mingzhen arrived, Yan Duoduo's army attacked Ma Shiying's defending Fuyang and was preparing to cross the river. The Lone King should indeed return to defense quickly!"
After hearing this, Zhao Ming was shocked. How could Ma Shiying guard Fuyang?
As he said that, Zhu Yihai looked at Fang Guoan and said in a deep voice: "General, leave one to clean the battlefield, the main force quickly gathers to reinforce Fuyang."
"I will clean up and my troops will be prosperous!" Fang Guoan focused on his head.
Zhao Ming told Zhu Yihai: "Your Highness, when the soldiers cleaned the battlefield, please cut off the heads of the Qing army, build Jingguan along the river to boost the morale of the army."
After the failure of Rehang, the Zhejiang soldiers lost tens of thousands of dollars and the morale of the army was sluggish. It was just the matter of annihilation of Li Lutai's troops to stabilize the morale of the army.
Zhu Yihai was silent for a moment, and said with a heavy emphasis: "Okay! Pass the order of the isolated army, collect the heads of the Eight Banners, and build the Jingguan!"
Zhao Ming clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I want to walk with the general!"
Zhu Yihai has no objection to this, "Body, safe, wise and brave, should be the help of the general!"
At this moment, Fang Guoan had to clean up and led more than 10,000 people to head towards Fuchun River regardless of his fatigue.
Fuchun River.
Duoduo's vanguard arrived first, Zhang Mingzhen and Wu Zhaosheng led 8,000 troops to set up defenses on the south bank, and Ma Shiying led more than 2,000 troops to defend the small county town in Jiangbei.
Time is not enough. Although Ma Shiying ordered his subordinates to speed up the city defense, the preparation of defensive equipment was actually not sufficient.
Fortunately, Duoduo light cavalry advanced and did not bring any siege equipment.
On that day, after the Qing army arrived at the city, the elite cavalry first rushed to the city to show off their power and shoot the city with arrows before returning to the battle.
Soon, the Qing army, who had made some preparations, began to attack the county town under the command of Tulai, the Gushan, Zhenghuang Banner.
In order to strengthen the confidence of the defenders, Ma Shiying stood in front of the city tower with his weapons and guarded the city with his soldiers.
Outside the county town, the ground on three sides and the river on one side, Ma Shiying placed 500 soldiers guarding each of the three gates in the east and west, north and north. The soldiers were painting piles and guarding, leaving 500 people to provide mobile reinforcements.
The Qing soldiers did not take the defenders in their eyes at first. Tulai ordered the five hundred Zhenmanzhou to advance with wooden boards, large tables and cowhides, but were smashed by the defenders with rolling stones, thunderwood and bombarded with a convex gun. The Qing soldiers hurriedly retreated.
Seeing this, Tu Lai was not discouraged, so he immediately organized a thousand troops to attack. The Qing army once climbed the city wall, but because the city gate was blocked by the defenders, the army could not enter the city and was repelled again.
Seeing this, Duoduo immediately ordered the attack to be suspended.
The army was a little tired from coming, and the arms were added, and the baggage had not arrived, so they ordered the army to rest for a night and then continue to attack.
At the fourth update of the night, when the Qing army was sleeping soundly, the north bank suddenly roared, and the sound of killing sounds shook the sky. Duoduo was shocked and rushed outside the tent. He saw a camp near Fuchun River rising into the sky. He was furious and ordered the cavalry to attack and kill all the Ming troops who dared to rob the camp.
Before the Qing cavalry arrived, the harassing Ming army was already on a small boat and returned to the south bank, but Zhang Mingzhen sent troops across the river on the south bank to sneak attack the Qing army camp.
The Eight Banners soldiers had a very strict defense and were not panicked when they encountered a surprise attack. The soldiers guarded the camps and archers shot and killed people who were running at will. Zhang Mingzhen's attack did not have any effect, but it made Duoduo very unhappy.
Duoduo became famous for many years, and after entering the pass, he was invincible, and three regimes were destroyed in succession.
Who knew that he was coming in this world? He either surrendered or retreated to his edge. However, recently, the food and grass were robbed, and then he formulated a plan to completely wipe out the Qing armed forces, which also made loopholes. Until now, a small city dared to resist him, and even a cat and a dog attacked his camp, which was really unlucky.
Everything went wrong, which made Duoduo, who was used to being smooth sailing, was furious. At this time, Li led the envoys sent by Tai to cross mountains and ridges, and quietly crossed the Fuchun River to the north bank military camp.
In the camp, Duoduo read Li Lutai's blood letter and frowned. Li Lutai was actually ambushed and trapped on the mountain, which really surprised him.
The blood books were used, and the situation was probably not optimistic. Duoduo had a gloomy face and asked the messenger: "What's the situation now?"
"Prince, it's so miserable!" The messenger said in a crying voice, "Li Ezhen led us to attack Shaoxing, with the Green Camp in front and our army behind. As soon as we arrived at Dongxi, we were ambushed. The enemy's arrows were fired at once, and the convoys were fired. Our army fought hard until dusk. The enemy reinforcements came across the mountain. Ezhen then hurriedly broke through, but was blocked by the opponent and was defeated. Only more than 3,000 people went to Jinniu Ridge..."
When Duoduo heard this, he knew that the situation was not optimistic. There was no doubt that he had a good guess. The strategic goal of the Ming army was indeed to eat Li Lutai's troops.
"There are more than 3,000 flag soldiers who occupy the high ground again. This may not be impossible to cooperate with Li Rutaili, and the center blossoms!" Although Duoduo was a little surprised, it was not too bad depending on the situation. With the combat power of the Eight Banners soldiers and sufficient food and water resources, it would be fine for three thousand troops to stick to it for a month.
Now the three thousand flag soldiers are probably losing their baggage, but they can always last for six or seven days if they kill horses and drink urine.
After hearing Duoduo's words, the messenger hurriedly said, "Prince, after the servant went down the mountain, he saw fires soaring into the sky from the direction of Jinniu Ridge. I thought it was the barbarian who attacked the mountain, so I asked the prince to send troops to reinforce immediately!"
Water and fire are ruthless. If it is burned by the fire, it is hard to say how many more than the three thousand flag soldiers can be left. Even if they are all burned to death, it is not impossible.
"What?" Duoduo stood up suddenly and was restless when he heard the words. The Manchu prince was furious and gritted his teeth and said, "Tu Lai, attack immediately, and you will definitely break Fuyang today! The army is ready to cross and go south to help!"
