Chapter Eighty-Eight: Blood Fire Swallow Rock
If there is anything worse than the defeat of the remnants of the dozens of ferries left, it is that the remnants of these dozens of ferries have just left Yanziji when they encounter a surprise attack by the sailors of the Yue Ming army.
Duoduo became a fool as a whole, just now in Yanziji he could still shout "let the Eight Banners go first", but on the mighty river, he couldn't do anything, he could only watch the Ming army sailors under the banner of the Yue Ming army get closer and closer, and even saw these Ming army sailors on the warships under the banner of "Jiang Chengguo Gong Liu Kongzhao".
Among the Yue Ming armies, the combat effectiveness of Liu Kongzhao's Jiang Shui Division has always been relatively weak, but now not to mention that the Qing army's ferryboat is seriously overloaded and inconvenient, even under normal circumstances, it is not the opponent of the opposite Jiang Shui Division, after all, the opposite Jiang Shui Division is the real Nanming Naval Division, and it is also a real warship.
Before the battle started, many Qing army ferries had already jumped into the Yangtze River, obviously not optimistic about such a confrontation at all, even Duoduo was very desperate: "Accelerate to the north, as long as we go ashore, Liu Kongzhao will have nothing to do with us!"
In any case, Duoduo and Hauge have dozens of ferries in their hands, while Liu Kongzhao only has a total of seven or eight sailor warships, no matter how well they perform, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
Now Duoduo could only hope that he was one of the leaky fishes, and at this moment, Liu Kongzhao's Jiangshui division had already started the offensive with guns and cannons.
There were constantly ferries that suffered heavy damage, and even sank or were forced to run aground, and the Qing troops on the boats could only forcibly jump into the river in the sea of fire, some ferries directly raised white flags, and some ferries were desperately trying to force the ferry north, but no matter what, it was a massacre.
At most, only half of the ferries in Dórd's hands could escape this hell.
And Yanzi Jishang was also a massacre, Wang Puxiang felt that now was the most glorious moment of his life, and the Yue Ming army under his command was likely to exceed 10,000 or even more, and there were more battalion leaders to come to reinforce.
There are also people jumping off the river, but there are also people who come back from the upper reaches of the river and try to climb ashore, and the Qing army has completely lost its structure and command, and only knows that it is constantly being pressed back by the Ming army and then constantly running around.
Although Liu Ru is a strange woman in the world, the scene of the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood in front of her is really cruel, and there are at least thousands of corpses of the Qing army alone, so she can only retreat to her own carriage.
Whether it is the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Mongolian soldiers of Waifan, the soldiers of the King of Sanshun, or the soldiers of the Green Battalion, the new annexed army, or the guards, Baoyi, Neiniulu, auxiliary army, and miscellaneous forces that Duoduo and Haoge were only ready to mobilize at the last moment, they have now been completely defeated.
Niu Lu and the battalion heads, who had made great achievements in the history of the Qing Dynasty, finished their history in Yanziji, and they may not even have a single soldier who escaped, and even threw down all the battle flags and baggage, and now there are prisoners everywhere who are kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.
Although he participated in the Battle of Hangzhou, the Battle of Huzhou and the Battle of Liyang, it was the first time for Wang Puxiang to see so many Qing prisoners, and there were so many Eight Banners in armor among the captives.
Zhou Zhisheng, who had just taken over the command, was now crazy: "The Eight Banners captured today are enough to make a Jiala!"
The Eight Banners were the strongest enemy of the Ming Army, and although they had captured a lot of Eight Banners in the past, most of them were Han Eight Banners.
And it is also a miracle to be able to catch dozens of Han Baqi at a time, but today's situation is completely different.
There are hundreds of Manchurian Eight Banners just caught, and there are naturally more Mongolian Eight Banners and Han Army Eight Banners, Zhou Zhisheng really thinks that he can make up a number of 1,500 to form a complete armor.
And this has not included those palace guards, Baoyi and Sanshun soldiers, but Wang Puxiang said very calmly: "Beigubo, there are many Qing troops who broke through the gap before our army joined the siege, let's not be careless!"
Zhou Zhisheng's mood is very good now: "It's not to be careless, but the overall situation of Jiangnan has been decided!"
If the main forces of the Qing army of Duoduo and Haoge can successfully retreat to the north of the Jiangbei, Duoduo and Haoge will definitely strive for the situation of dividing the river and ruling the country, and then the Yue Ming Dynasty will be in the predicament of fighting for Jianghuai and Jingxiang at the same time, and the country will face an earth-shattering crisis as soon as the country is opened.
And now for the Yue Ming Dynasty is the most perfect ending, even more than perfect more unexpected, although I don't know how many people can retreat to Jiangbei from the so-called 100,000 Qing army of Haoge and Duoduo, but it must have been devastated, and then the Yue Ming army will definitely not be subject to much resistance to Jianghuai, and it is completely possible to prepare for the Northern Expedition through Jingxiang.
And Liu Yongxi also made a judgment that was completely consistent with Zhou Zhisheng, although it was late at night when he arrived at the Yanziji battlefield, but the battlefield under the cold moon still reminded Liu Yongxi that the river in front of him had experienced an unprecedented fierce battle that was enough to dye the Yangtze River red: "Beigubo and General Wang recovered the southern capital this time to win the Yangtze River, and they should be ranked in Lingyan Pavilion." ”
Although his legs were almost weak, Wang Puxiang was still excited when he heard Liu Yongxi say this: "Thank you Your Majesty King Yue, the key to recovering Nanjing this time is that His Royal Highness King Yue and Niangniang strategized to win thousands of miles away, in addition to thank Miss Ruan Lizhen and Mrs. Liu Rushi, I hope Your Highness will not forget their contributions!"
Wang Puxiang is really grateful to Ruan Lizhen and Liu Ruyi, they not only created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for themselves, but also supported them several times, without their help, Wang Puxiang felt that there would never be today's battle of Yanziji.
Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "General Wang, rest assured, I will not forget any of the meritorious men who fought in the southern capital today, let alone Sister Lizhen and Hedongjun!"
Speaking of this, Liu Yongxi laughed: "Beauty is gracious, and you will never be disappointed!"
Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, Wang Puxiang was completely relieved.
For the first time, Dodor felt that being alive was such a cruel thing, but he also felt that being alive was such a beautiful thing.
Perhaps because he had been beaten countless times by the Yue Ming army, Duoduo was used to failure, and even felt that failure could train people, at least he was not particularly uncomfortable, and he actually had time to sort out the remnants of the defeated army and consider the aftermath.
He originally thought that the Qing army that successfully crossed the river was only three or four thousand at most, but now it is counted that there are nine thousand, and there are still small groups of Qing troops crossing the river one after another.
And more importantly, Prince Yu Duoduo and Prince Su Haoge are alive now, then there is a way to deal with the Beijing Division, after all, there are still tens of thousands of Qing troops in Jiangbei, although the so-called tens of thousands of Qing troops are almost all shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as long as these 20,000 Qing troops can be brought back to meet with Dabeile Daishan, Duoduo feels that everything is hopeful.
Of course, the 9,000 Qing troops who successfully crossed the river were actually greatly discounted, because there were 5,000 people reported by Liu Liangzuo.
Liu Liangzuo was originally the weakest of the four towns in Jiangbei, but Liu Liangzuo, who seems to be loyal and honest, is now the most intact in strength, and Duoduo and Haoge have been pitted by him.
Of course, Liu Liangzuo only sent someone to report to Duoduo an approximate number of troops crossing the river, whether there were 5,000 people under his command, Duoduo and Hauge did not know, but now Duoduo must believe this number.
Because if the number of Liu Liangzuo's subordinates is removed, then the Qing army that crossed the river with Duoduo and Haoge will be a number that cannot cope with the regent, the princes, and Baylor, and the total number is only 3,700 people.
Although the Qing army that was able to successfully cross the river was the elite of a hundred battles, and more than sixty percent of them were genuine Eight Banner Army, even if they did not count the new annex army in Jiangnan, the number of troops invested in the Jiangnan battlefield by Duoduo and Haoge exceeded 100,000, of which the so-called "old army outside the Guanwai" was more than 50,000.
And now there are no people who travel north with Duoduo and Haoge, and this number immortal can't cope with the past, so the number of five thousand people in Liu Liangzuo's department must be added.
However, with the number of 5,000 people under Liu Liangzuo's department, it is still less than 9,000, and fortunately, many Qing troops have crossed the river sporadically from various ferries, and these few hundred remnants of soldiers have made up enough of 9,000.
Duoduo told Hauge, who had collapsed around him, very clearly: "We will rest for a day in Jiangbei first, and then we will join forces with Big Baylor!"
Unlike Duoduo, who was repeatedly beaten by Liu Yongxi and the Yue Ming army, although Hauge was beaten several times by the Yue Ming army, this time he was really defeated by his will, and when he heard Duo Duo's suggestion, Hauge jumped up almost immediately: "If we don't retreat to Xuzhou quickly, if the Jinhua thieves cross the river, our two princes will become prisoners of the Jinhua thieves!"
Although this battle lost many high-ranking generals such as Li Shutai and Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongming was still the Huaishun King of the Qing Dynasty, but the two princes, Duoduo and Haoge, finally escaped in the net of the Ming army, and now Haoge doesn't want to stay longer for a moment.
But Duoduo has a very in-depth understanding of Liu Yongxi's strategy and tactics, and he said very clearly: "It shouldn't be a problem to stay for one more day, at least it can contain hundreds of soldiers of the Eight Banners, and since the Jinhua thieves have entered Nanjing, how can they also worship the filial piety tomb and complete all the procedures, and in Jiangnan, we have at least tens of thousands of soldiers fighting to the death with the Jinhua thieves, and we have at least a few days!"
Speaking of this, Duoduo was full of energy: "What's more important is that we don't catch more people and horses this time, and make up a few more cattle records, even if we withdraw to Xuzhou, it will be a dead end!"
Duoduo said this before Hauge came to his senses, he, Prince Su, now does not even have 800 people under his command, even if the court does not dispose of him, I am afraid that those old friends and old enemies will clean him up.
Therefore, Haoge changed his mind at the first time: "King Yu, tell me how to make up a few more cattle records?" This time, all the cattle under my command have been destroyed, you can help me get an idea!"
