Chapter 80: Two Defeats in One Day

The death of Huang Degong, for Luo Rucai and Zhang Xuan, the battle in Fengyang has achieved the goal, it can be said that from now on, from Fengyang to Nanjing, there is no longer a Ming army, it is an obstacle for Cao Ying, even if Nanjing Jingying and Zhenwu Camp and other battalion numbers, but in the eyes of discerning people, these are just false names.

When resisting the Japanese, the Zhenwu camp was not enough, how could it be used at this moment.

The only thing that made Cao Ying a little jealous was not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, but the Yangtze River.

After the Yangtze River reaches the lower reaches, it is extremely vast, and it is by no means comparable to the Huai River, even if it is a Huai River, it consumes so much of Zhang Xuan's spirit, not to mention the Yangtze River.

However, no matter how good the natural danger is, it must be guarded.

Although the Yangtze River is dangerous, the people in the south of the Yangtze River are all wine bags and rice bags. There is nothing to be afraid of.

And at this moment, it is not the officials and soldiers who are hindering Cao Ying's actions, but Cao Ying himself.

In order to encircle Huang Degong's department, Cao Ying's army was sprinkled all the way from Shouzhou to Fengyang, and at this moment, there were only tens of thousands of cavalry around Luo Rucai. Cavalry is of course Luo Rucai's trump card. But Cao Ying did not rely on cavalry alone to fight.

Therefore, if you want to start from Fengyang and go south to Nanjing, you have to meet all the horses.

Even though he knew about it, he was very fast. But at this moment, it also has to be trimmed. And the strong tremors of the earthquake have passed. However, the aftershocks were not small, and the rain was continuous, and the weather was not suitable for marching. I can only wait.

It will take at least a few days before the troops and horses are gathering and marching south.

Not to mention, if Luo Rucai cleans up the mess.

It is only said that Ma Shiying ran all the way to Linhuai City in a panic, Zheng Hongkui saw that it was Ma Shiying, and hurriedly opened the city to greet him, and Ma Shiying entered the city only to know that Liu Liangzuo had already arrived. A bunch of remnants of the defeated army will gather together, and in the small Linhuai City, the available soldiers are also above 10,000 people.

It's just that they are all newly defeated divisions, and they don't dare to point a finger at Cao Ying's army at all.

Liu Liangzuo even proposed that while Cao Ying's army had not yet freed his hands, he would withdraw from the water and go directly to Huai'an. But Ma Shiying had no plan. Guy is in Linhuai, or in Fengyang, but if he goes to Huai'an, it is not in Fengyang.

Ma Shiying was ready to ask Lu Zhenfei to immediately send troops to garrison Linhuai to ensure Cao Yun.

Liu Liangzuo is a very discerning person, knowing that Fengyang is lost, Ma Shiying's head can not be clear for a few days, and directly ignores Ma Shiying. And Ma Shiying regarded the Guizhou wolf soldiers as dependent, there are almost not many left, and the guards around him are Huang Degong's Yongwei battalion, although these people obey Ma Shiying's orders, but because of Huang Degong's affairs, they are a little loyal to Ma Shiying, but they may not be able to say.

For a while, Ma Shiying actually became a loner.

Zheng Hongkui didn't know what to do, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Lu Zhen

Fly report.

In the city of Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei received letters from Zheng Hongkui, Ma Shiying and others.

For a while, I felt a headache.

I don't know what to do.

Fengyang fell. Lu Zhenfei didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, Huai'an was not a strong town, and the available soldiers were handed over to Zheng Hongkui, but he was defeated in a battle, and all Lu Zhenfei could rely on at this moment was the training of the gentry from all over the country.

But Lu Zhenfei also understands that these regiments may be trustworthy to practice defending the land and protecting their homes, but it is absolutely impossible for them to take the initiative to attack Cao Ying.

Except for the hundreds of guards around him, he almost didn't have a single soldier to send.

Just as he forcibly cheered up, pondered for a moment, and prepared to requisition the grain in the canal in advance, recruit troops with the grain, train the new army, and do what was needed from time to time.

Just as Lu Zhenfei was cheering up and preparing to write a recital.

A master stumbled in and said, "My lord, something is wrong. ”

"I already know about Fengyang, so there is no need to panic." Lu Zhenfei said lightly.

No matter how big the matter is, Lu Zhenfei must carry it, and he can't leak a trace of worry about the flow of people below, he is the backbone of the Huaiyang and Yang Mansions.

"It's not Fengyang, it's Henan, it's Ruzhou. Inspector Sun was defeated. The master said with a blank face.

With a "dang bang", the pen in Lu Zhenfei's hand fell on the desk, but he saw that the manuscript that he was writing at the beginning was stained with a large area of ink, and it was no longer usable.

I can't help Lu Zhenfei is not frightened.

Compared with Cao Ying, the threat of breaking into the camp is above Cao Ying, and compared with Sun Chuanting and Ma Shiying, Sun Chuanting is almost the hope of the world, and the defeat of Fengyang certainly makes Lu Zhenfei frightened, but he is just worried about the safety of his territory. If Sun Chuanting wins a big victory, Fengyang's defeat will be easy to pull back.

But Sun Chuanting was also defeated, the world is so big, who else has the ability to turn the tide.

In fact, in terms of time, the victory of breaking into the camp was before Cao Ying, but it was just a matter of messaging. The news of Sun Chuanting's defeat went down the Yellow River and reached Huai'an, and the news was so fast that it was above Cao Ying.

At this time, Cao Ying still knew the news.

Ruzhou.

At this moment, Sun Chuanting seemed to have lost his soul, riding on a horse, surrounded by more than 100 people and heading north. Along the way, the Sanqin disciples he brought were scattered around, but few of them approached him.

The defeat in this battle, Sun Chuanting thought about it at the moment, but it was expected, but he had been lying to himself.

Sun Chuanting took the main force of the Qin army to face off with the main force of the camp, and Li Zicheng sent Li Guo as the vanguard, and Li Guo fought three battles in the north.

These three wars were all solid

In a tough battle, Gao Jie, Bai Guangen, and Niu Chenghu have all made a lot of contributions.

Sun Chuanting chased after him relentlessly, and beheaded Li Zicheng's generals, Xie Junyou, and he was about to catch up with Li Zicheng several times.

But Li Zicheng finally fled into Xiangcheng.

Under Li Xin's arrangement, Xiangcheng has long become a fortified city, and the rebel army will stick to the city. Sun Chuanting has repeatedly attacked. Later, it came that Liu Zongmin raided the grain road.

From that moment on, Sun Chuanting knew that this battle had been lost.

But war is not a game of chess, when you play chess, you know that you are going to lose, you can throw a son and admit defeat. But when fighting, it is impossible to end everything when you know that you are going to lose, but you must clean up the mess.

Just when Sun Chuanting's army wanted to retreat, Li Zicheng issued a war letter and agreed to a decisive battle under the city.

That battle was fought quite fiercely, and the officers and soldiers broke through the camp three battle formations in a row, and approached Li Zicheng's banner. But the rebels also rebelled wildly, especially those rebels whose families died in Tang County, almost fighting to the death.

In the end, it was Bai Guangen and Gao Jie, who couldn't support it and retreated one after another.

This retreat is the collapse of the army.

About 40,000 of the elite of the Qin army were killed in the battle, and the rest of the soldiers fled when they fled. Sun Chuanting also completely lost control over the army, and only this person was left around him.

In fact, the more terrible thing than the big defeat is the lack of food.

The army's food was exhausted before the decisive battle.

Sun Chuanting was even ready to return to the division to welcome the grain, and was ready to leave Chen Yongfu in the camp. But Chen Yongfu is not a fool, as soon as Qin Jun went, he said that he was going to welcome grain, who knows if he will come back. As soon as the Qin army moved, Chen Yongfu's headquarters was in chaos.

The rebels took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Sun Chuanting was almost defeated at that time, and with this defeat first, the morale had already fluctuated, and it was natural that he would not hold on to the end.

"Adults drink some water, and please take care of yourself. The children of Sanqin are still waiting for the adults to revive the mountains and rivers. "Sun Chuanting's personal soldiers. Carrying a bowl of water, he persuaded.

"Revive the mountains and rivers?" Sun Chuanting shook his head and said, "It's impossible." ”

Sun Chuanting knew very well that this time Li Zicheng would not give him time, all the belongings accumulated in the past year were smashed in this battle, and it would take several months to rectify before he could re-cultivate a soldier who could fight a battle, but Li Zicheng would not give him this opportunity even if he was a fool.

And after this battle, Li Zicheng's strength will swell again, without him, the Qin army was rectified by Li Zicheng, the Qin army is loyal, but Sun Chuanting will never feel that the Qin army will not surrender, and the camp is almost the same as the Qin army, after the defeat, a few people will fight to the death, and then they will have to deal with not hundreds of thousands, but more than 200,000 enemy troops.

Sun Chuanting picked up the water and looked down, but saw that his gray hair had turned snow-white overnight.
