In the final analysis, Zilharang was scared of the infestation of the waves, but he still found the most high-sounding reason for himself to change the direction of the attack.

"This king can also determine that the stronger the strength of the Ming army on the route from Changsha to Liangguang, the more resolute the will to defend, the more it can highlight the suddenness and feasibility of our next flank outflank tactics.

Such a big detour, but our various ethnic groups in the north have played tactics for more than a thousand years, needless to say, I'm afraid that all of you Belle Ye know which move to take the next move with your eyes closed, right? ”

There are suggestions, discussions, orders, and praises, and Zilharang cannot be said to be open-minded, and everyone raises their hands to vote, and in the worst-case scenario, they don't have to carry the black pot alone.

The team was soon back in action, and Zilharang was constantly adjusting his mentality on the march, and it was the calm and composed commander who could bring victory to the army.

If you want to win the war, you must be able to bear the sacrifice, think that at the beginning of the Songjin War, didn't the Houjin army also sacrifice several princes and surrender several Baylors?

The huge casualties of the Houjin army even made Huang Taiji under duress, and all the men who could draw bows and ride horses outside the pass, regardless of size, were sent to the battlefield.

But in a sneak attack on Xingshan, the Ming army's baggage was burned by the Qing army? As a result, the campaign took a fundamental turn. The last elite of the 140,000 Ming Dynasty were either killed or driven into the sea to feed the fish, and few were alive.

With such a reference to the war example, Zilharang naturally needs to carry forward the fine tradition of stabbing the back of the Saibei people, when did the black belly become the patent of the Ming army?

On the twentieth day of the first month of the third year of Yongli, Nikan, the deputy marshal of the Qing army's southern expedition, stayed in Huguang to continue to launch a feint attack on the Ming army in order to cover the great detour of Jierharang.

He led 45,000 Manchu and Han troops in Liaodong, as well as 9,000 people from Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, and 7,500 people from Kong Youde, the king of Gongshun, a total of 61,500 people, and 500 artillery pieces to attack Hengzhou, about 400 miles south of Changsha.

Reality requires him to do something for the main force of Zilharang, because the more fierce Nikan's offensive is, the more deceptive it will be for the Ming army, as long as Jierharang breaks through Ji'an, Ganzhou, Guangzhou, Zhaoqing, and only one province in Guangxi, it will naturally be decided.

In the rear, there are Wu Sangui and Ma Guozhu's remnants after the two battles, a total of 3,000 foot soldiers defend Changsha and Yuezhou, covering the supply line, and these 3,000 soldiers have all been handed over to Ma Guozhu, Wu Sangui led the Guanning cavalry to quietly follow Jierharang to Jiangxi. In addition, Geng Zhongming's 4,500 men were stationed in Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang, and this time, Hong Youde and Shang Kexi followed the king of Jingjin to launch a feint attack on the Huguang Ming army.

After Nikan arrived in Hengzhou, like Jierharang in Yuezhou and Changsha, he also adopted the method of wanton and indiscriminate bombing as his preferred attack plan, and he bombed Hengzhou City indiscriminately for five days one after another.

Although it was ordered to feint, Kenikan's arrogance was still very arrogant, and at this time, the main force of Zilharang's army had secretly appeared under the city of Ji'an.

Wang Jincai is really a very trustworthy person, as soon as Zierharang arrived, he surrendered the city, and Wang Jincai was also sent to Ganzhou by Jierharang, so that he could try to send a letter of persuasion to the defender Ma Jinzhong there.

After Ma Jinzhong received the secret letter brought by Wang Jincai, he even replied that he was considering accepting Prince Zheng's opinion. After Wang Jincai had already received a sum of silver from Jilharang as a reward, he logically falsely took Jilharang's second amount of silver.

After that, Ma Jinzhong gave up Ganzhou without delay, and after withdrawing from Ganzhou, Ma Jinzhong did not take refuge in Jierharang, but said that he would take the money and run to other places to be the king of the mountain, and threatened to have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty, and his idea was surprisingly consistent with Wang Jincai's original idea.

Regarding Wang Jincai and Ma Jinzhong's deliberate contrivance, Zierharang just felt funny, and thought: "These two thieves are too greedy, this must be because they want me to spend money to recruit him again in the future, so they are willing to give up."

Hehe, what a fool! I don't know where there will be a next time, and when I see the two of you, I won't use money to smash you, but cannons to kill you! ”

Although Wang Jincai and Ma Jinzhong did not become Qing troops, they gave the two cities of Ji'an and Ganzhou to Jierharang, which allowed Jierharang to quickly lead the army into Ganzhou peacefully.

Two days later, Jierharang waved his army to attack the Ming garrison at Quling, south of Ganzhou, and the Ming army there was Li Chengdong's general, Wuzhi Boyan Keyi.

After Jierharang broke the five wooden cities of Yan Keyi's department, Yan Keyi fled in a hurry. The Qing army arrived at Xinfeng at about midnight the next day and defeated it with a single blow. Fight again in Da Yuling, and again.

After Li Chengdong failed to lead the army to attack Ganzhou, the little territory he had easily obtained was easily wiped out.

At this time, all the barriers that could block the Qing army's attack on Guangzhou were cleaned. So, the army of Zilharang waved their sabers all the way and went straight to the city of Guangzhou.

In February of the third year of Yongli, the main force of the Qing army surrounded Guangzhou, and the lineup was 25,000 people in the army of Jierharang with the blue flag, a total of less than 80,000 people in Tan Tai and other five solid mountains, and 50,000 people in Wu Sangui and Guanning Iron Cavalry, a total of more than 150,000 people and 1,500 artillery pieces equipped with the two armies of Jierharang and Tan Tai.

And their rear was guarded by 5,000 people led by Gushan Ezhen Zhumala in Ganzhou, Ji'an, Nanchang, Jiujiang and other vast areas.

It seems that this Gushan Jumala should have superpowers, and he only needs 5,000 people to garrison such a large area of city land.

If he was given another 10,000 people, maybe he would be able to hold the entire Qing Dynasty, but it was precisely because the two core cities of Changsha and Nanchang and the surrounding Ming troops were wiped out by Jierharang that he could confidently and boldly let Ma Guozhu and Zhu Mala lead thousands of men and horses to garrison each in the east and west.

The backbone of the defenders of Guangzhou are all Li Chengdong's old troops, and for this general who always surrenders and rebels, even if his subordinates are old backbones, they will naturally not give up on him.

The fluctuation of the army's heart, coupled with the dense turns, black and oppressive muzzles outside the city, and the fierce and vicious Qing army. The defenders of Guangzhou were more like ducks being driven away, sparrows scattered.

On 20 February, the city of Guangzhou was breached, and Li Chengdong committed suicide after killing his family. His righteous son Li Yuanyin, after gathering more than 10,000 stragglers, seized the small road and fled to Zhaoqing.

Regardless of whether Tianlang has a good impression of Li Chengdong or not, he finally died for Daming, although it was to take care of the overall situation, but Tianlang also hoped that he would not be blamed by Li Chengdong's undead for this disaster.
