When the Han gunboats were cruising the river, they also took the initiative to retreat when they encountered the Mongols. This also convinced the Mongol generals of their choice!

Although they only have a total of 80,000 horses, they are enough to command a third of the herders in the east! When the army besieged the royal department, the old King Mengdong could only surrender and accept his fate! Kagunai's 80,000 men and horses would definitely not give King Mengdong and other princes time to gather their troops and horses.

After the screams of the Mongols fleeing, Chen Xiong also arrived at the famous city of Xuzhou with the Praetorian Guards.

"Lord Prefect, the Han army is here!"

There are still 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city, but they have all been defeated!

Tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were chased to the city of Xuzhou, and then all of them were slaughtered by the Han army in two quarters of an hour. After the cavalry left, more than a hundred ox carts rushed in, and then a burst of artillery fire broke out, killing and wounding 3,000 people at the head of the city!

Fortunately, the ox cart also left after firing two shells, otherwise they could only flee from Xuzhou. Outside, the cavalry was running rampantly, and they did not dare to leave the city easily.

The prefect's face was complicated, and he said in a panic: "Quick, give the order to open the city gate!" We're out of town too! ”

"Yes, my lord." The lieutenant immediately ran out as fast as he could.

10,000 firearms soldiers in front, 40,000 cavalry in the rear, and an infantry slowly walked towards Xuzhou.

When the Janissary artillery just started to get off the cannon, the gate of Xuzhou slowly opened.

"Haha, good! That's great! Mr. Qian on the city gate couldn't help laughing! Letting them defend the city is simply looking for death!

The Xuzhou soldiers were all happy, but the 10,000 firearms soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were depressed!

"Damn, Lao Tzu didn't shoot a shot!" The bazooka soldiers, who were already preparing to play, could only scold again and again.

The city gate was wide open, and the officials and generals immediately took the soldiers and horses out of the city, and the Qing soldiers also threw weapons and armor on both sides of the city gate.

"Let's go!" Chen Xiong had joy on his face, but he also had some regrets! This is the cowardice and incompetence of traitors!

After seeing the flag clearly, the prefect was even more panicked.

"Quick, all kneel, it's the emperor of the Yanhuang Empire!"

Yes! Great! The officials and generals hurriedly knelt on the ground, and more than 10,000 Qing soldiers immediately kowtowed.

The Manchu Qing army's nearly one million troops had been wiped out in two hours, and the strength of the Han army had broken through their imagination.

As soon as the heavy cavalry approached, the prefect immediately raised his head and bowed: "The prefect of Xuzhou, please forgive the emperor~~"

If the Han army is strong, normal people who want to be traitors, but unfortunately the Ming Dynasty is dead, and this Yanhuang Empire suddenly came out again!

"You should have been killed for a heavy crime, but the capital crime can be avoided for the sake of the ancestors, but the evil ones will still be investigated."

Whew~Good~ Most people are relieved! After the Han army rose to Lingnan, although they surrendered to the enemy, they did not dare to go too far, and they were also afraid that if the Han army came back again.

There are also many people who are trembling, and they just hope that they can't be found on them.

"Okay, the Han men have gold under their knees, and they all go back to their respective homes and wait for the trial!" This is the last chance given to them by Chen Xiong, and smart people will immigrate to Nanyang Anbei Prefecture, otherwise they will be constantly complaining and denunciating.

Han boys! The prefect couldn't help but burst into tears!

"Thank you the Great!"

"Thank you the Great!"

Everyone also bowed deeply again, before they were afraid, but now they are heartbroken.

"Alright, let's get up and go home!" It's enough to kill people, and Chen Xiong's heart is not made of wood!

"Honorable Order." The generals were overjoyed and immediately stood up.

Someone took the lead, and everyone got up and walked away slowly.

When they all dispersed and walked away, sure enough, the Han army ignored them.

"Haha! The Great Emperor is benevolent! "The general was overjoyed, I thought that if I didn't die, I would shed a few layers of skin.

The chief soldier shook his head and sighed: "If you have any small people in the evil township, leave Xuzhou quickly!" Wait for the Yanhuang officials to return to their positions and review the people's suffering! I'm afraid! ”

"This! Ay! The general no longer has a smile, he is alive, but he is also bidding farewell to his hometown!

At the time of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Chu also began.

The actual strength of the Qing army in Chu totaled 710,000, and the defense commander of Chu Jierharang: a total of three important towns of soldiers and horses were arranged.

The first is the Wuhan town of Hanyang Province, which is the most important node in the defense of the Huainan Jiangnan. Defending Wuhan can lock up the Han water, so that the Han army cannot go north.

The second important town is the old town of Jingzhou in the north of the great river, and Jingzhou Mansion is the most suitable gateway to enter the Chu region. Locked in the Jingzhou area, the Han army could only pull out the mountains and wade through the water.

The last important town is Xiangyang, a thousand-year-old city, which was built according to the water and was originally a key pass to resist the invasion from the north. But in the face of the Han army going north, Xiangyang's role was much smaller. Especially in the face of the Han army's naval division, the important town of Xiangyang is just a live target. But Xiangyang is now the base camp of Jilharang, and the 110,000 Manchurian and Mongolian iron cavalry and front-line logistics supplies are in Xiangyang.

Wuhan Shou is the eldest son of Zu Dashou and the general of Liaodong, Zu Shanhai. Zu Shanhai personally commanded 100,000 Liaodong Han traitor troops, and was one of the main forces that entered the customs to defeat Li Zicheng.

Jingzhou guards are: the descendants of the two fathers and sons of Wanli heroic generals Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, the former heroes of Liaodong, the Li family who once led the Liaodong Iron Cavalry to sweep the northwest rebellion and sweep away the Japanese invaders, and now has become the second noble family of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Even if it is a Manchu general such as Aobai, he must be honored as Li Gongzi.

At that time, Li Chengliang wanted to use the Jurchens to divide Liaodong and claim hegemony, but in the end he was used by the slave adopted son Nurhachi, and when the Jurchen plug-in went online: the once invincible Liaodong Ming army immediately became a waste! In the end, the Li family even took the elite soldiers of Liaodong into the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and then the traitors surrendered one after another, which made it difficult for the Ming army to destroy the Jurchens!

Li Shenren is as his name suggests, with a deep face. Even if they surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Li family never gave birth to a single day! They are not people inside and outside the Li family, the Manchu Qing Dynasty guards against them, and the Ming Dynasty wants them to die! Now the Han army can't spare them.

There are 200,000 men and horses in Jingzhou, all of whom are traitors and green battalion soldiers, of which 30,000 cavalry are the Liaodong iron cavalry of the Li family's hole card that shocks Liaodong.

Wuhan is also 200,000 horses, of which 100,000 are Liao, hardcore traitors, and the Manchus do not seek victory in Chu, they only hope to hold back the Han army. After the victory in the Central Plains, the Han army of Chu also had to withdraw its troops and retreat.

Xiangyang.

"I don't know what Xuzhou is like!" Zilharang couldn't help but sigh every day! There are not many Jurchen warriors in the Manchu Dynasty, and there are only 10,000 true Tartars under his command! If it weren't for the help of more than 100,000 Mongols, they wouldn't have been able to stabilize the new army of the green battalion in Chudi!

The Mongol warriors, who claimed to be 120,000, actually only came with 100,000, but Zilharang claimed 150,000. They don't dare to face the hundreds of thousands of firearms soldiers of the Han army! Their role was after Wuhan Jingzhou was breached. After the Han army went deep into Chu and divided its troops away from the water division, it was time for them to encircle the Han army and cut off their food and grass!!

Once upon a time, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who relied on strength to win, can now only use stratagem to calculate the Han army! The current Manchu Qing Dynasty no longer dared to confront the Han army head-on, and the defeat of Changsha was their lesson.

The Han army was divided into two routes, and the East China Sea Fleet was also divided into two to follow the main force to attack Wuhan and Jingzhou.
