Chapter 360: Hong Chengchou Wants to Escape (First Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass! )

Momentum on the battlefield is too important.

Once the momentum is down, it will be too difficult to chase it back.

The Qing army's three-plate axe did not open up the situation, but stimulated the Ming army's bloody nature and desire to fight.

The Ming army became more and more courageous, and the Qing army was vented to the end.

Once you get in and out, you can't fight this battle.

What's more, if the Qing army could not recapture Ximen in a short time, the consequences would be devastating.

At this time, the Qing troops at the other three city gates had no way to reinforce them, after all, they were also under great pressure.

If you want to blame, you can only blame Geng Jimao, who had a traitorous bone in the back of his head, and stabbed them in the back at a critical time.

This guy opened the city gate and ran away, but left everyone here to resist the thieves alone.

When Hong Chengchou saw this scene, his heart was already half cold.

Where is the decline of the Qing army now, it is clearly a defeat.

Hong Chengchou now has only one choice, that is, to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not completely controlled Nanchang and strive to lead his troops to break through.

If you can't escape, you will definitely die if you fall into the hands of the Ming army, and you will suffer inhuman torture.

This is something Hong Chengchou can't bear.

At present, Jiujiang has been controlled by the Ming army, which is equivalent to cutting off Hong Chengchou's way to the north.

Huguang is in the hands of the Ming army again, and it is impossible to go west.

Now that Hong Chengchou and Geng Jimao have completely torn their faces, it is impossible to go to Fujian in the east.

If Hong Chengchou wants to escape, there is only one option left, that is, to flee south and flee to the Ganjiang River.

The Ganjiang River is the southern gate of Jiangxi, and if the Ganjiang River can't be defended, Hong Chengchou can still escape to Guangdong.

Although Shang Kexi also withdrew his troops and withdrew to Guangdong, he and Hong Chengchou did not turn their faces after all.

Hong Chengchou felt that as long as he spoke, Shang Kexi would still be able to accept him.

Of course, now Hong Chengchou is aiming to go to the Ganjiang River.

He felt that with the natural danger of the Ganjiang River, he could still defend it.

...

...

After making a decision, Hong Chengchou immediately ordered to go down and prepare to break out.

Since it was a breakthrough, it was naturally a small area, and Hong Chengchou decided to only notify his standard camp henchmen and the Eight Banners.

The fewer people who walk, the easier it is to succeed.

After all, most of the Qing soldiers were still in the dark, and they would fight to the death with the Ming army besieging the city.

In this way, Hong Chengchou will have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and shed his shell, just like Geng Jimao did.

Although it was a very inauthentic thing to abandon the main force of the green camp and run away, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate at all.

The so-called dead friend does not die poor, as long as he is not dead, there is still infinite hope in the Qing Dynasty.

He not only lives for himself, but also for the Great Qing Dynasty and the emperor.

I hope the emperor can understand his hard work and loyalty.

Since he decided to go south, Hong Chengchou planned to break through from the south gate.

Although the distance between the South Gate and the West Gate is relatively close, because the attention of the Ming army is focused on controlling the West Gate at this moment, they will not notice the actions of the Qing army at the South Gate.

Although those green battalions were wasted, they were still able to hold back the Ming army for a while.

Hong Chengchou is playing a time difference.

...

...

Hong Chengchou was really good.

In charge of attacking the south gate was Li Dingguo, the king of Jin.

After Li Dingguo learned that the Son of Heaven had sent a tiger army to storm the West Gate, he also sent a lot of troops to assist.

On the one hand, it was to help the Ming army control the West Gate faster, and on the other hand, it was also to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven.

After all, this battle was a general battle between all factions of the Ming army and the Qing army.

There is no harm without contrast.

Li Dingguo naturally hoped to compare the Thirteen Families of Kuidong with Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan.

As a courtier, whoever can be more important in the eyes of the Son of Heaven will be more respected by the Son of Heaven.

Li Dingguo naturally doesn't think that he is worse than others, but he still has to have the posture he should have. After all, the Son of Heaven is the one who judges all this.

But who knew that one of his decisions caused the number of troops gathered in the south of the city to decrease a lot.

The Qing army was completely unprepared at the moment when the city gate was opened, and Li Dingguo woke up like a dream when the cavalry roared out.

"Come on, quickly form a formation to intercept the Tartars."

It's not too late to make amends.

In any case, Li Dingguo still had to do his best to stop the Qing army.

Even if you let go of one less Qing soldier, it would be fine.

Li Dingguo's army was a combination of infantry and cavalry.

Compared to pure infantry, it is more mobile when assembled.

However, the Qing army, with the Eight Banners cavalry as the vanguard, broke through very sharply, and quickly pulled a hole in the Ming army's formation.

"Shhh

Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo has already realized.

The Qing army that broke through the siege should be the main force in Nanchang City.

The number of troops further corroborates his ideas.

The number of Qing troops who broke through was obviously not much, which shows that Hong Chengchou should have broken his arm to survive, and he did not hesitate to abandon most of the green battalion soldiers in order to escape and ascend to heaven.

Li Dingguo's heart sank.

If Hong Chengchou is let go, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Instead of meritorious, he may be blamed by the Son of Heaven.

"Stop the flood thief at all costs!"

Li Dingguo shouted, clamped his legs around the horse's belly and rushed towards the direction of the Qing army's breakthrough.

"The soldiers are coming with this king!"

Li Dingguo mobilized all the elites to rush towards the Eight Banners Army, and he was ready to fight to the death.

...

...

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

Seeing that the Ming army was gathering to block again, the Eight Banners soldiers drew their horizontal knives and slid down fiercely.

A Ming infantryman had his throat slit and fell to the ground in agony.

In terms of horse warfare, the Eight Banners are not aimed at anyone, everyone here is garbage!

"Death to those who stand in my way!"

The Eight Banners once again emphasized.

The Manchurian Eight Banners had a different understanding of mounted archery than the Mongols.

The Eight Banners of Manchuria placed more emphasis on the use of bodies, weapons, and firearms.

Sometimes, although it relies on brute strength, it can indeed produce miracles vigorously.

This Eight Banners soldier has been fighting with the army in the south and north since he entered the customs, and he is used to seeing the cowardice of the Ming army.

Although the situation is now reversed and the strength of the Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, they still look down on the Ming army in their hearts.

It's just relying on the number of people in the heap and relying on the advantage of numbers.

If the Eight Banners Army and the Ming Army were as numerous, they would definitely be able to beat the Ming Army to the ground!

If it's a dozen, forget it.

Surviving first and preserving strength is the king.

The Eight Banners soldier held the reins of his horse with one hand, and dragged the broadsword with the other hand to reap his life all the way.

Just as he was getting more and more excited, a sudden arrow shot directly through his eyes!

Yes!

The Qing soldier screamed in pain, instinctively wanting to cover his eyes.

The pain caused him to twist and turn off his balance.

Then the hooves trampled him into a pulp.

"Whoosh!"

A burst of arrows came at the Qing soldiers, and the Eight Banners soldiers suddenly panicked into wild dogs.

The arrows are too dense and powerful.

They had to dodge, but they were inferior to the Mongol cavalry in terms of flexibility, and they were very embarrassed for a while.

This also affected the speed of the horses, and the cavalry led by Li Dingguo took the opportunity to catch up.
