Looking at the Qing soldiers who were only ten steps away from him, Gan Hui immediately shouted loudly in order to avoid being shot into a hornet's nest: "I am Gan Hui, Gan Guogong, catch me, you can go back to receive great military merits."

The Qing soldiers not far away immediately put down their bows and arrows and quickly surrounded Gan Hui, seeing this, Gan Hui had to discard his weapons and surrender.

As soon as Gan Hui surrendered, the rest of the soldiers would surrender immediately.

At this time, the rear commander Wanli and Xuanyi Zuozhen, who were guarding the back mountain, were attacked by the Qing soldiers before and after, and the whole army was annihilated, and Wanli died in battle.

However, the division of the naval division Huang An withstood the onslaught of the Qing soldiers, even though more than 500 ships had been burned, but Huang An not only fought fiercely with the Qing soldiers on one side, but also covered the land soldiers to retreat into the ship.

Zhu Chenggong got the news of the defeat of Guanyin Mountain, and immediately issued an order for the whole army to retreat, and then, in order to reluctantly recover the defeat, Zhu Chenggong ordered Pan Gengzhong, the household official of the border staff, to replace his command, and he went to the river to outflank the Qing soldiers with a water division.

However, after the Qing soldiers won a great victory on Guanyin Mountain, they kept pressing on the Ming soldiers.

Zhu Chenggong's painstaking training iron man armor lined up on the riverside to meet the Qing soldiers, looking at these majestic iron man armor in front of him, even if the Qing soldiers had already obtained Guanyin Mountain and the army's heart was greatly boosted, then the soldiers were a little afraid in the face of the iron man armor.

Under the military order, the Qing soldiers rushed towards the iron man armor.

The iron man armor raised the big sword and met the battle, and for a time the Qing soldiers fell under the iron man armor big sword, but the Qing soldiers still rushed to death without fear.

For a while, the Qing soldiers rushed towards the iron man armor like a wave, and after fighting for an hour, the iron man armor was not very tired, but at this time, Zhu Chenggong had no soldiers to adjust, and the soldiers no longer had the will to fight.

At this time, on the battlefield, due to Zhu Chenggong's order to retreat, the soldiers could still hear the sound and retreat in an orderly manner, but under the pressure of the Qing soldiers step by step, the Ming soldiers gradually collapsed.

An hour and a half later, the Iron Man Armor no longer had the strength to fight, and many Iron Man Armor fainted on the ground, foaming at the mouth, and the Qing soldiers won a great victory.

The ironclad people rushed to the river one after another, but the Qing soldiers immediately rushed away when they saw the ironclad men in chaos.

For a while, countless ironclad people fell into the water and drowned, and Zhu Chenggong saw that the soldiers had no fighting spirit, and because the eight thousand ironclad men were all wiped out, there was only one thought in his heart, that is, to retreat from Jinmen.

However, when Zhu Chenggong retreated, he still ordered the sailors to cover Lu Bu and rescue the soldiers on the river, but fortunately, the Ming soldiers were well fed and trained under Zhu Chenggong, so although the soldiers had no will to fight, they could still maintain discipline.

Just when the Qing soldiers were further pressing, Zuo Chongzhen bravely rushed up to block the attack.

In a burst of artillery bombardment, Zuo Chongzhen sank two ships of the Qing soldiers to contain the offensive of the Qingshui Division.

Zhu Chenggong's Northern Expedition lost Qianfeng Town, Zhongchong Town, Right Town, Houjin Town, Qianchong Town, Central Admiral Gan Hui Division, Zhang Ying Division, Zuowuwei Town, Zuohuwei Town, Later Admiral Wanli Division, Xuanyi Zuo Town and other departments, a total of more than 20,000 people were lost, and it was declared a failure.

Zhu Chenggong didn't have time to communicate with Zhang Huangyan, so he only cared about his own retreat, leaving Zhang Huangyan's army scattered in the Wuhu area.

After Zhang Huangyan learned that Zhu Chenggong had been defeated and retreated, he immediately rushed left and right, even if it was Lang Tingzuo's persuasion to surrender, he refused one by one, and then marched to Huguang Jiangxi with the intention of entering Jiangxi.

But he encountered the Qing soldiers and sailors, and after a big battle, Zhang Huangyan was defeated and had to abscond with a change of clothes at night, and Li Yuanyin, who was lurking beside Zhang Huangyan, immediately activated the emergency plan.

"Master Zhang." Just as Zhang Huangyan was walking alone on the mountain road, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of him from the side of the mountain.

"You've got the wrong person."

Zhang Huangyan looked at the people in front of him calmly, thinking that if it was a Tartar, then he would end himself up with the righteousness of all loyal ministers.

Li Yuanyin, who was bareheaded, took out a token and crossed it in front of Zhang Huangyan: "Li Yuanyin, the governor of Jinyiwei, was ordered to receive Zhang Huangyan and Lord Zhang into Guangzhou. ”

Zhang Huangyan looked at Li Yuanyin with a strange face: "Seriously." ”

"The Son of Heaven guards, there is a lie." Li Yuanyin said with a displeased face.

"This is the place controlled by the Tartars, how did Lord Li send him to Guangzhou." Zhang Huangyan said with a slight loss.

"Jinyiwei is doing things, Lord Zhang can rest assured."

"That's ......."

Before Zhang Huangyan finished speaking, there was a sound of the road in the distance, and when he heard the sound, Li Yuanyin said with a solemn face: "Don't talk nonsense, Master Zhang will go with us."

Saying that, Li Yuanyin immediately gave Zhang Huangyan a jade spy, and then took Zhang Huangyan away from the official road.

Three days after Zhu Chenggong's defeat, Zhu Youlang, who had returned to Guangzhou, received a report from Jinyiwei.

"Your Majesty, Zhu Chenggong defeated Nanjing City, more than 20,000 soldiers were killed in battle, a large number of generals were killed in battle, and his strength was greatly damaged." Just as Zhu Youlang was looking at the transfer order from the Governor's Mansion, Ding Siliang cautiously came to Zhu Youlang's side and said softly.

Zhu Youlang looked out of the window with a sad face, pondered for a moment and said: "Order, add Wu Bing's envoy to the Son of Heaven, comfort Zhu Chenggong's army on behalf of me, and then order Wu Bing to persuade Zhu Chenggong to go east to conquer Dongfu, the people of Dongfu have been suffering for a long time, it's time to let him return to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, let him feel the grace of heaven, and know the courtesy."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ding Siliang quickly wrote down Zhu Youlang's words, and after Zhu Youlang finished speaking, he seemed to think of something and looked at Ding Siliang again: "How is Yinxi in Guangzhou?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Plug Yinxi has avoided seeing guests, and has been studying in the Imperial Mansion." Ding Siliang replied seriously.

"Hmm." Zhu Youlang nodded slightly and said, "Send the cabinet ministers and Du Yinxi to see you."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ding Siliang was ordered to leave.

It's just that when Ding Siliang walked to the door, Zhu Youlang's voice came again: "Order Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan again." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Half an hour later, the cabinet ministers came to a joint decision with Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan.

"Meet Your Majesty, Long live my Emperor." Everyone knelt in front of Zhu Youlang and shouted loudly.

Zhu Youlang waved his hand lightly and shouted, "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A few moments later, Ding Siliang commanded the eunuchs to come to the wooden chair in front of everyone, and after everyone sat down, Zhu Youlang immediately opened his voice and said: "Everyone, presumably Zhu Chenggong's defeat in Nanjing, everyone already knows, you have something to think." ”

"After this battle, Zhu Chenggong greatly lost his strength, and the pressure on the Qing court in the southeast was greatly reduced, but Zhu Chenggong's position in the Qing court was a terrible tiger fist." When Bai Wenxuan said this, he looked up at Zhu Youlang and said: "Your Majesty, I have not requested that the elite troops be transferred to Fujian to help reorganize Zhu Chenggong's army."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were different, and everyone who was originally a little depressed because of Zhu Chenggong's defeat also became weird because of this remark, but when Zhu Youlang heard this, he was far away.

"There is no need to mention this strategy, Zhu Chenggong has been a warlord of his own line since the time of Zheng Zhilong, and at this time, the Tartars are powerful, and it is not the time to carry them inside."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youlang looked at Bai Wenxuan: "The strategy of the Northern Expedition at sea remains unchanged, I don't know how Aiqing is prepared." The latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
