Chapter 48: Escape
This is also the biggest reason why Liu Yongxi insisted that Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku betrayed Guo Hu and Yang Chengzu, although many people know that Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku may have suffered injustice, but everyone does not care about the personal fate of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, but hopes to use this opportunity to serve Liu Yongxi and soar.
This is also the real reason why Li Chengdong is thunderous, although he has nearly 10,000 horses under his command, and the Manchurian nobles including Yu Wang Duoduo are doing their best to support him, but everyone thinks that Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's ship is about to sink, and they are trying every way to leave his ship, and even Duoduo and Li Shutai, these Eight Banner nobles, are trying to sacrifice Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku to attract the attention of the Ming army.
Now Liu Yongxi is reiterating his promise: "Let the soldiers work harder, and I must leave the two white-eyed wolves Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku behind!" ”
Now the Ming army is focusing all its attention on Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, concentrating a few elite and heavy troops to form a front blockade and rear interception, and the Qing army can also be as far away from Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, and even the particularly belligerent Eight Banners are trying to keep a distance from Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku.
Although Duoduo and Li Shutai knew very well that after solving the two surrendering armies of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, the focus of the Ming army's offensive would immediately turn to the Eight Banners Army and the Mongol soldiers of the outer domain, but at least now the Ming army used seventy percent of its strength on Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, so that the Qing army finally had a chance to leave the battlefield.
What's more, in the past few days, Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku have been proud, especially Li Chengdong, who has mastered nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even doesn't take the Eight Banners to heart, and now they are weakened by the hands of the Ming army, which is an outcome that everyone can accept.
In this battle of besieging Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, it was Guo Hu and Yang Chengzu's old department that took the lead, don't look at them There are only more than 1,000 people and they are almost out of formation, but as soon as they encounter Li Chengdong's department, they rush up desperately as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, and Li Chengdong, Guo Hu and Yang Chengzu's old department in Gao Jinku's department did not hesitate to change their banners as soon as they saw the banners of Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing.
What's more, the Yue Ming Army still has a real weapon of killing, Mrs. Xing has always been very popular among the officers and soldiers, and has always been called "Mrs. Xing" by everyone, and is even considered the second person in Gao Jie's army, and now Mrs. Xing is still that Mrs. Xing, everyone's love for her is more than ever, she didn't even open her mouth when she went to the front of the battle, and many of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's old departments knelt down for the first time.
Although Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku tried every means to deal with Liu Yongxi's siege, the officers and soldiers below already felt that this battle could not be fought, and the advantages of the Yue Ming army were too obvious, and they could not deal with the Eight Banners Force, but it was easy to deal with Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku.
What's more, even if this battle is barely won, what can it be, it is just that Gao Jie's old troops have lost both, and now whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Outer Mongolian Domain, the Zhulu Han Army, and the Green Battalion soldiers, they all try to keep a distance from Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku.
Therefore, this battle can not be fought, Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku are more and more frightened, hundreds of soldiers and horses directly joined the Ming army, and now the most reliable and capable troops are just fleeing under the offensive of the Yue Ming army, so the Yue Ming army is getting stronger and stronger, and Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's men and horses are not only fighting less and less but also fighting less and less confident, so they made the best choice without hesitation: run!
Run to Nanjing at all costs! Escaping is the biggest victory!
Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's run is equivalent to one-third to one-quarter of the troops disappearing on the battlefield, the Ming army has an advantage, and the current offensive is like a tide, for the Qing army is no different from the catastrophe, so whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners, the Outer Mongolian Domain, the Zhulu Han Army, and the newly attached Han Army, they all did not hesitate to flee with all their might.
The flood offensive of the Yue Ming army almost drowned everything, no matter which Qing army suffered considerable losses in the breakthrough, the only difference was that the losses were large or small, but at this time Liu Yongxi gave the most important order: "Our goal is the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and we must leave Jianyu at all costs, so that they will never forget Huzhou and Hangzhou!"
It is only now that everyone understands that Liu Yongxi's so-called order to never let go of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku is just a false shot, and the real target is still the most elite Manchu Eight Banners, everyone deeply agrees with Liu Yongxi's decision, but Empress Zhang asked: "I heard that Manbaqi are all horse teams, can they stay?" ”
Empress Zhang spoke, and Liu Yongxi's tone became gentle: "So you have to leave the Eight Banners behind at all costs, as long as the Eight Banners are annihilated, the rest of the armies can be destroyed without attacking!"
Although there were only a few thousand people in the Eight Banners Army that went out with Duoduo, and even fewer of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, for the Qing army, the Eight Banners of Manchuria will always be the real core of the battle, as long as the Eight Banners of Manchuria are solved, whether it is the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Army, the Eight Banners of the Han Army or the Green Camp Army, it is not a big problem.
And Mrs. Xing also interjected and said: "It doesn't matter if Liu Liangzuo runs away, even if it is ten Liu Liangzuo, we have a way, but if Jianyu runs away, there will be no such a good opportunity in the future!"
The princess of the prison who had just caught up with her deeply agreed: "Mrs. Xing is right, after we surrounded Boluo in Hangzhou last time, the Eight Banners of the Han Army ran north!"
Fang Guoan, the former chief soldier of Chikou next to the princess of the prison country, behaved very actively: "Niangniang, please rest assured, I have 100,000 soldiers to intercept before and after, even if the prisoner has the ability to pass through the sky, don't even think about escaping!"
But Fang Guoan's words were too full, although due to the collapse of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's department, the current Qing army is fleeing on all fronts, but this does not mean that there are many flaws in Duoduo and Li Shutai's plan.
Gao Jie's old department was originally the biggest weakness of the Qing army, but after a toss between Duoduo and Li Shutai, Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku stood up to attract all the hatred of the Ming army and bought the Qing army two precious days.
Two days may be a little too short for other armies, but for the Manchurian horse team that rides and shoots for a living, two days is completely enough and even has some surplus, not to mention that if you want to block the Eight Banners, it is not an unknown person like Fang Guoan.
Therefore, under the offensive of the tide, the Ming army captured thousands of people in one go and annihilated dozens of enemy troops at the head of the battalion, many of which were still veteran Qing troops, but almost all these results had nothing to do with the Eight Banners Army, the Ming army only captured a few small units of the Eight Banners Army, but at most it was only a few dozen people.
Now Duoduo is full of praise for Li Shutai's advances: "As long as we go fast, the Jinhua thieves will never be able to catch up with us, and you will have as many prospects as you want in Nanjing!"
Li Shutai also laughed: "Wang Shi's southern expedition was frustrated this time, mainly because he was defeated by the water division, but this is the case in all dynasties, if you want to conquer Jiangnan, you must have a strong water division!"
In fact, this defeat has little to do with the water division, although the water power of the Yue Ming army is extremely active in the battle, but the reason for the defeat of the Qing army is not that the water power is too weak, but Duoduo accepted the answer given by Li Shutai: "That's true, this time Bolobel and I both failed because of the unfavorable water battle, but next time it will not be so easy, I will let the Jinhua thief know what is the invincible Eight Banners in the world!"
Zu Dabi, who escaped from Hangzhou, nodded again and again: "King Yu is very right, although Bolobel underestimated the sailor of the Jinhua thief, but such a trick cannot be effective again and again, as long as we kill back to Nanjing, the Jinhua thief will have nothing to do with us!"
Duoduo also cheered up these Eight Banner generals: "That's right, as long as we get out of Huzhou Mansion, the Jinhua thieves think that we can't do anything, and the reinforcements from the King of England and the Jingshi should already be on the way, and when they are in place, they can launch a counterattack!"
It's just that when it comes to the counterattack, all the Eight Banner generals present have a feeling of fear, and Li Shutai relied on his special relationship with the clan to specially remind: "King Yu, I don't think it's more appropriate to launch a counterattack in a hurry, let's stabilize the situation step by step!"
Even the generals of the Eight Banners, this time they were shadowed by the Ming army on the battlefield of Hangzhou and Huzhou, and they all felt that Huzhou was too dangerous, and it was best not to set foot in Huzhou without 100,000 sure, and Duoduo also heard their worries: "Li Shilang reminded me very well, next time I will lead an army of 200,000 through Huzhou, to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and I can easily take Huzhou City!"
These Eight Banners finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before the group set off, they saw Liu Liangzuo rushing up very embarrassed: "King Yu, King Yu, help!" My number one general, Qin Dapeng, and 3,000 soldiers and horses were trapped by the Jinhua thieves, you can't see death without help!"
Qin Dapeng is the number one general under Liu Liangzuo, although there are always such and such contradictions between him and Liu Liangzuo, but after Qin Dapeng was blocked by the Yue Ming army, Liu Liangzuo was frightened, but he didn't dare to turn back to save Qin Dapeng, so he could only pin all his hopes on Duoduo and the Eight Banners powerhouse.
But Duoduo and Li Shutai finally got out of the tiger's mouth, how could they rush back and go up to Tiger Mountain again, so Duoduo hurriedly said: "Guangchangbo, I am also very sad that Qin's general army has fallen into the enemy camp, but now I have to protect the whole army of the king's division first, and I can't ignore tens of thousands of soldiers because of Qin's 3,000 soldiers!"
Zu Dabi next to him also hurriedly got on the horse and prepared to run away: "Huama Liu, there is really nothing that can be done about General Qin's affairs, everyone should protect themselves first!"
Liu Liangzuo's heart was cold when he heard Duoduo and Zu Dabi say this, Qin Dapeng's department was the only army in his hands that could fight, if it was all lost in Huzhou, I was afraid that the Great Qing Kingdom would not take him seriously at all, so he cried out loud: "King Yu, King Yu, the Eight Banners are invincible in the world, as long as one back and forth can rescue Qin Dapeng, please be sure to pull your brother!"
