Knock knock knock ~ The big drum of the Ming army shook violently again, and the drummers who took turns to rest kept gasping by the war drums.

It was actually only twenty minutes before the heavy cavalry charged to a halt, but many Ming troops had already fled far away. Seeing that the battle was difficult, many thousands of presidents immediately took their subordinates to hide from a distance to watch the battle, and it can be seen that the Ming army on both wings is more awake than the defeated soldiers.

Thundered~~

The sand on the ground trembled, and Gao Hongtu and Liu Liangzuo immediately retreated away.

"Ignition, Shooting~"

The boxcar's firecracker was very weak, and the iron ball only brought a spark on the heavy rider's body.

Rumble~

Wow wow~~ The charging war horse suddenly knelt down.

"Ah~" The stone man who was thrown away or pounced by the war horse was raised high and slashed hard.

Boom ~ Bumper ~ Boom ~ ~ Under the smashing of a hundred stone people, all 30 box cars were smashed. The Ming soldiers in the car flew out one by one with broken wooden planks.

"Ah~" The stone man who fell on the car fought and slashed again, the box car was completely cut flat, and the Ming army was also kicked off the board.

Gao Hongtu shouted in fright: "Hurry up, stop them." ”

Kill~ The spearmen of the Ming army assassinated, and a hundred stone people jumped down and broke the spear and scattered to both sides.

Thundered~

Wow Wow~~ The dark green war horse jumped on the half-meter-high board, and then jumped up and stepped on the spearman's head.

"Ah~" The heavy cavalry on his head pressed down, and the frightened Ming army immediately turned around. It's a pity that it was a little slower, and many Ming soldiers were trampled on flesh and bones.

Cang Cang~~ slashed and swept away, and the two Ming troops were immediately disconnected, and blood spurted out like a faucet.

Boom~ More and more heavy cavalry killed close to the command center, and the generals such as Liu Liangzuo, the senior governor, immediately ran with the cavalry. The generals fled for their lives, and their loyal servants immediately used their corpses to stop the heavy cavalry's assault.

The strongest command was broken, and no matter how elite the Ming army was, they did not dare to fight against the rushing heavy cavalry. The rear army of the Ming army immediately turned around and left, and there was no longer the slightest will to fight.

At the same time, the Ming army, which was engaged in the battle of the grass and wood soldiers, also began to retreat. Most of the corpses on the ground were Ming soldiers, and a platoon of Ming soldiers died in two or three breaths, and no matter how strong they were, they couldn't bear to flee for their lives.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Retreat, we retreat."

The headquarters was breached, the Chinese army was defeated, and the Ming troops who were watching the battle on both flanks immediately fled.

Many Ming soldiers secretly rejoiced: "Hey! Good thing we didn't make it! ”

The army fled, and the Ming cavalry, which had suffered a lot of losses, also began to evacuate. This battle was not for prisoners or for casualties, and Zhang Shou and Wu Li did not pursue and began to collect troops.

The Ming army completely collapsed, Liu Liangzuo and other generals were gone, and Chen Xiong also began to withdraw his troops.

The sound of killing was repeated, and Huang Degong didn't know what the battle situation was. But according to his estimates, it will take at least two or three days to determine the victory and defeat, and when the Han army in front of him can't resist the transfer of soldiers and horses outside the city, it will be when the soldiers and horses of Zhenjiang will go out of the city.

The fighting soon stopped, and the imagined long battle could no longer take place in front of the Han army. With the addition of the transport ships of the Ming army's sailors, the speed of Hanmes-Epitek's crossing of the river was also much faster.

By nightfall, the Hermes-Epitek had all crossed the river, and then 100,000 militiamen had also begun to cross the river. In order to prevent accidents, Chen Xiong sent the three armies of the Han Dynasty back to Jiangbei after the break. After all, at this time, the Han Fifth Army had been disabled, and the Han Fifth Army had become nurses in the soldiers' hospital, and they could not fight again for a period of time.

Yesterday's war ended quickly, and Huang Degong is not surprised. When the two armies fight, they often try to test slowly at first, and if the enemy is strong, they will be mainly trapped and strangled as a supplement. Huang Degong in Zhenjiang City is still waiting for the opportunity.

Under the high sun, there were more and more Han troops outside the city. Blackball's 30,000 internal guards also joined the siege, after all, the 50,000 people in the city were elite soldiers.

"Is it marshal, could it be that Jiangbei has been defeated?" The adjutant general said worriedly.

Huang Degong nodded heavily: "It should be!" Now that the Han army has crossed the river, it will be even more difficult to defeat them! ”

Firearms outside the city were dense, and Huang Degong had no intention of leaving the city.

Zhenjiang City didn't even know that more than 30 Ming troops had been defeated and fled.

Of the more than 300,000 people, only 50,000 horses died, but most of them were elite soldiers. The remaining 300,000 Ming troops were already divided in half at this time, and the soldiers and horses close to Yingtianfu all returned to Nanjing, and the Ming troops far away from Nanjing City began to return to their hometowns. As for the next big war, it's none of their business, anyway, the army is defeated and has no desire to fight.

At noon, all the Han troops crossed the river, and more than 10,000 cavalry began to gather.

Next to the carriage, Chen Xiong sent him off to Lin Guozhong: "Chief Lin, everything is based on safety, and everything must not be forced." ”

"The Lord is at ease, and the princes of Nanjing will never dare to be disrespectful to their ministers." Lin Guozhong was full of spirit, and after the Han army's victory on both sides of the strait, he was already qualified to win the Central Plains.

Chen Xiong nodded with a light smile: "That's good, if you see it, you will accept it, and the Han army in Nanjing City will never enter within a few years." ”

After Lin Guozhong got into the carriage, 10,000 cavalry began to follow the carriage and set off.

Zhenjiang was defeated, and only a few hundred thousand of the hundreds of thousands of troops returned to Nanjing. Now there are 200,000 troops in the city, and the tall city of Nanjing is also the second strongest city in the world. But the army and the high wall did not reassure the high-ranking officials and ministers.

After the defeat of Zhenjiang, the Nanjing Xiaoliu Department also knew that the Ming army in Jiangbei had already been defeated, and the army had no fighting spirit and could only stick to Yangzhou.

The failed Gao Hongtu has now been removed from office and taken into custody, and although Liu Liangzuo has not been punished, he is not in a good situation. His elite soldiers and horses suffered the most serious losses, and many horses were scattered, and his military strength was greatly reduced, and he no longer had the confidence to be arrogant.

At this time, the six departments of Nanjing and even the Jiangnan family were represented by three people: Huang Daozhou, a straight man in the officialdom of the Ministry of Officials, Qian Qianyi, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites (who committed suicide and thought the water was too cold), and Lu Zhenfei, a businessman of the Ministry of Household Affairs (a guerrilla expert in the Southern Ming Dynasty).

Nanjing City.

As soon as he entered Chenglin Guozhong, he was warmly welcomed, and he, the envoy of the Han army, was already able to influence Nanjing Anwei.

"Huang Shangshu, Lu Shangshu, Qian Shangshu are fine." The three celebrities Lin Guozhong naturally knew each other, especially Huang Lu, who were all the kings he respected.

Huang Lu Liangshang also smiled in return, but the anger in Huang Daozhou's eyes could not be contained.

"Governor Lin, no, Scholar Lin is seated quickly. I haven't seen Jingshi for many years, and I miss my brother very much. Qian Shangshu, who had an extraordinary bearing, greeted Lin Guozhong warmly, although they had only met a few times before.

Lin Guozhong smiled secretly, the university scholar is another name for the cabinet minister, and he naturally understands the meaning of Qian Shangshu. Now his status in the Han Army is almost like several elders in the imperial court.

"In the name of a bachelor, I don't dare to be a post-learner, and the princes are the world's great talents."

Seeing that the two of them were praising each other, Huang Daozhou immediately couldn't help but speak: "President Lin, please understand the meaning of King Annan, all the departments in Nanjing will serve the prince." ”

He was disheartened and resigned at home, but he was not allowed to enter the official sea when the Han army went south.

was interrupted, Lin Guozhong was not surprised, he also wanted to leave early, and he didn't want to have a deep friendship with the scribe who was full of hypocrisy.

Gao Hongtu and Liu Liangzuo led troops to block the return of the Han army to the south, and the king of Annan was furious. If it weren't for the same Han people, millions of Ming troops would bury their bones in the river. The princes should be glad that it is not in Liaodong, but the old and young Tartars in Liaodong are not left. Lin Guozhong said lightly, but the words were amazing.

Huang Daozhou was secretly angry, but he didn't dare to refute it.

The water is too cold, Qian Shangshu bowed his head in worry, and if he didn't send away the killing god of the Han army master, don't even think about it this year!

"Sins are all misunderstandings. This is all Gao Hongtu's crime, and the court will punish it severely. Lu Zhenfei said with a smile.

Lin Guozhong smiled secretly, he didn't want to say anything more. "There are many things about the return of the Han army to the south, and I won't say much. 20 million taels, 20,000 craftsmen, firearms and stonemasons, and 100,000 infantry weapons and armor. ”

What~20 million taels~ Huang Shangshu glared at Lin Guozhong angrily.

After Lin Guozhong drank tea with a smile, he stood up: "Everyone: The Han army lord is benevolent and righteous, and he will definitely not force you. The lord said that this is the insurance premium of the Jiangnan families, after all, the soldiers are panicked and have no eyes in the coming year. ”

"What kind of insurance premium, just let King Annan bring the army." Huang Shangshu, who was steely, finally couldn't help but erupt.

Lin Guozhong didn't want to say more: "Hmph! In this way, you should cherish it! ”

Lin Guozhong turned around, he could foresee the tragedy of the Jiangnan family in the future, and if he didn't die, he would have to raid the family and try the crime.
