Chapter 50: Breaking the Enemy

Although Empress Zhang's views are different, Liu Yongxi still respects Empress Zhang very much: "Since Niangniang said that she wants to go through the process, then come according to Niangniang's wishes, maybe it will really work, brothers, tell them that Duoduo has abandoned them and run to Nanjing!" ”

Empress Zhang was very satisfied with Liu Yongxi's reaction, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, who said that the most prominent person today was Mrs. Xing, as long as Gao Jie's old department saw Mrs. Xing, she knelt down almost immediately.

Up to now, there are at least five or six thousand people in Gao Jie's remaining army, and in addition, there are thousands of Gao Jie's old generals who obviously just surrendered, but claimed that they were inspired by Mrs. Xing to come to work, and even covered the limelight of Empress Zhang, so why did Empress Zhang knock Liu Yongxi.

And for this Qing army with the Manchurian Eight Banners as the core, this is also a rare respite, whether it is Bahar or the following Niu Lu Ezhen, the soldiers all seize the rare opportunity to feed the horses, and after feeding the horses, they will eat a piece of dry food and drink saliva and buy time to rest, but they soon became furious: "Nonsense, how could King Yu abandon us, the Eight Banners are invincible in the world!" ”

It's just that the interpreters in the Ming army who knew Manchu quickly cited the example of Hangzhou as a typical example: "Since the Eight Banners are invincible in the world, how can they lose the battle of Hangzhou?" In the Battle of Hangzhou, more than 40,000 people under Bolobel were wiped out, and only a few hundred people escaped at most! ”

Although the details of the Battle of Hangzhou are still the top secret of the Qing Kingdom, when it comes to the Battle of Hangzhou, the Qing army is quiet!

It was really Bolobel who was defeated too badly, if it wasn't for Bolobel who was too uncompetitive, how could they be surrounded by the Ming army, but Bahar jumped up: "Nonsense, how could King Yu give up on us, there is no such precedent in the Eight Banners!" ”

It's just that these words spread to the Ming army, and Liu Yongxi, who was talking to Empress Zhang, directly interjected and said: "There is no such precedent for the Eight Banners, but there is such a precedent for King Yu Duoduo, and Duoduo has a glorious history of leading his troops to flee first, have you forgotten?" Not only did King Yu have a history of leading his troops to flee first, but the regent also had the same history! Just translate it as I say!"

Liu Yongxi just said this casually, but after the interpreter translated his words, the Qing army was suddenly silent and terrifyingly quiet.

What Liu Yongxi said was a piece of black history that Prince Yu Duoduo had always wanted to hide.

In the third year of Chongde, Huang Taiji conquered Ming, and Duoduo was ordered to respond to Ningjin. At that time, Duoduo led 500 elite soldiers from the headquarters to pass through the Zhonghou Institute, and as a result, he encountered a surprise attack by 800 soldiers of the Ming general Zu Dashou, Duoduo retreated without a fight and led the crowd all the way away, according to the official saying of the Qing Dynasty, "nine killed in battle, 33 horses lost", the actual situation was naturally more serious, so Huang Taiji directly demoted Duoduo from the Prince of Yu to Dorobelle, and one-third of the cattle were also divided equally between Dolgon and Azig.

Although Prince Yu Duoduo has been reluctant to mention this extremely disgraceful history, and even used some overly drastic means, many witnesses still remember this scene, and what made the Qing army present even more desperate is that the shouting and killing on the battlefield is getting softer and softer, and the general Han army is unwilling to fight until the last moment like them, the Eight Banners force, presumably now either surrendered to the Ming army or has broken through to the north.

And the more fatal problem is that if Duoduo sends troops to rescue him, he will definitely kill from the north to the south, but now the north is very quiet, and there is no sound of fighting or horse crying at all, maybe the hateful king of Yue on the other side is indeed right!

Prince Yu Duoduo once again left his subordinates!

Although this Qing army is based on the Manchurian Eight Banners as the core, but the Manchurian Eight Banners are more than 600 people, and the Ming army has suffered more than 100 casualties after repeated battles, and now there are only more than 400 Manchurian Eight Banners left under Bahar, and the remaining nearly 1,000 people are the Mongolian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners, the Green Battalion and the Baoyi.

Although under normal circumstances, these Mongolian Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the Green Battalion and the Baoyi Society are in line with the Eight Banners, but now it is not the so-called normal situation, and when they think that their thousands of people have been completely abandoned, these Mongolian and Han officers and soldiers can only deal with everything in silence.

While many of them have decided that they will follow Bahar no matter what, there are also many who are looking around for a way out.

Although it was still the same Qing army, the Ming army's persuasion to surrender was more effective than the arrival of thousands of reinforcements, and the morale of the Qing army suffered a devastating blow.

And Liu Yongxi was full of praise for Empress Zhang's decision: "Sister Yan is still the most wise and decisive, if you keep attacking, it won't have such a good effect!"

Empress Zhang sighed, she was originally just a lady in the deep palace, but she had seen more corpses and blood these days than she had seen in her life, but she also knew that since she had come to this point, she could only continue to walk: "Xiao Xi, you are too modest, if it weren't for your words, these Qing troops would not be so demoralized, and it is the wisest decision for me to hand over all the military matters to Xiao Xi!"

I don't know why, she and Liu Yongxi suddenly didn't call each other politely "Niangniang" and "Yue Guogong", but instead used the most private "Sister Yan" and "Xiaoxi", but although it was the first time for the civil and military officials present to hear such an overly affectionate title, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and no one was asking for trouble at this time.

This series of victories has established the absolute authority of Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi, even if everyone feels that such a title is a bit inappropriate, they do not dare to accuse it in front of the public, but put forward their own suggestions in the secrets of the meeting, and even a few people think that it is a blessing for the country that Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang cooperate so well.

But for the Qing army, the current scene is extremely painful, if there is a sound of fighting in all directions at the beginning, the sound of fighting is getting softer and softer, and many captured Qing generals are escorted over to persuade them to surrender, including Qin Dapeng, the number one general under Liu Liangzuo.

Qin Dapeng not only confirmed the fact that the main force of the Qing army had taken the road and rushed to give up the rescue, but also pointed out that all the units of the Qing army had been annihilated in this battle of Huzhou: "General Bahar, I know that it is not easy for you, but is there any point in you persevering like this?" ”

The Qing army has always had such a question, and now Qin Dapeng asked many people to cry, but Bahar jumped up and shouted: "I know that you are the most unreliable Han people, and you play this kind of boring little trick, King Yu will never give up on us!"

But the question in the heart of the Qing army was even heavier, but at this time, Qin Dapeng had already rushed towards Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang with his horse team: "Kill the Duke of Yue and the pseudo-queen, and we will be able to turn defeat into victory!"

For the Qing army, this was the only chance to win, but the Ming army had long been in battle for how could it give Bahar any chance, the two battalions of horses did not hesitate to collide, and the two sides launched a fierce horse battle, and from time to time someone fell off the horse.

It's just different from the past, this time the Qing army's counterattack infantry is obviously out of touch, although the Han Army's Eight Banners, Green Battalion soldiers and Baoyi also followed, but they fell behind, and the Ming Army will not miss such an opportunity, at least three infantry battalions will stab over with spears like forests!

The battle directly entered the most brutal hand-to-hand combat stage, although the quality of this Qing army was excellent, even if it was like a forest spear, it could still move and kill, but the infantry did not actively move closer to Bahar, and the most dazzling Bahar in the cavalry did not hesitate to rush to the front: "King Yu will not give up on us!"

It's just that although Bahar has had countless experiences of escaping in the rain of bullets, but this time he behaved particularly fearless and brave, and even collided directly with the blade of the Ming army, after a few lucky escapes, a spear directly pierced Bahar's riding armor, and he shouted loudly while falling off his horse: "Leave me alone, you take care of yourself!"

Whether it is the Eight Banners behind him or the Ming army, they all understand the true meaning of Bahar's words, he is already bent on death!

Only if he, Jia La'e, is really dead, can this Qing army have the possibility of surrendering!

Although as Bahar expected, although the Qing army also carried out a fierce counterattack after Bahar's death, but after this round of counterattack, the green battalion soldiers and the Baoyi directly knelt down and surrendered, and the Manmeng Eight Banners only insisted on holding on for a little more than half a moment, but although they were willing to lay down their arms, they did not think that they were surrendering to the Ming army: "Take good care of our wounded, King Yu will definitely find a way to redeem us!"

The number of Eight Banners is extremely limited, even if these hundreds of Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners have a history of laying down their arms, but the Manchurian nobles will definitely try their best to redeem them, and Liu Yongxi and Empress Zhang are in a very good mood, and immediately agreed: "Give me all of them closely, I believe that although Prince Yu Duoduo has given up on you, he will definitely redeem you at any cost, but this is just the beginning!"

Hearing Liu Yongxi say this, these Eight Banner soldiers became as disgraced as if they had fought a big defeat, in fact, the Qing army was defeated too badly in Zhejiang this time, although they were just ordinary grassroots officers and soldiers, and they did not have those confidential figures, but the losses of the Qing army outside the customs after the two major battles may not be as large as this battle to enter Zhejiang.

Not only were the heads of the Han army camps ruthlessly annihilated in battles, but there were also many intact and incomplete Niu Lu in the Eight Banners who were annihilated in battle or suffered annihilating blows.

Although Duoduo fled back to Nanjing with the remnants of the defeated army, everyone knew that his position as Prince Yu would definitely not be kept.

Although everyone knows that the so-called "nine killed and 33 horses lost" is only an official number, the losses in the battle of the Central and Later Places are at most one or two hundred, but the total losses in the battle of Zhejiang may have exceeded 100,000 people.
