Chapter 220: Capture Zhao Butai alive

Looking at the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhu Youlang thought of the current transportation of grain from the south to the north, and after thinking twice, Zhu Youlang sighed and said: "The herald Zhang Huangyan said that after completing the task of Tamluo, he immediately attacked the mouth of the Yangtze River, and his main goal was to attack and harass, not to attack the city to seize the land, let alone fight with it."

As he spoke, Zhu Youlang pointed to Beijing and other places: "Ordered Li Yuanyin, the major cities dominated by Beijing have spread the news that the Ming Dynasty has restored Shaanxi and other places, and the Ming Dynasty will carry out the Northern Expedition in the near future, and ask its people to be relieved." ”

Speaking, Zhu Youlang squinted and looked in the direction of Henan: "The Tartar is the old minister of the Ming Dynasty, and his raising of troops against the Ming Dynasty is a rebellion. ”

As soon as Zhu Youlang's words fell, General Yijin Yiyi Wei Dahan immediately walked over.

"Report, the Tartars have set off for the camp, and their movement is in the direction of Tongguan."

Zhu Youlang frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately said to Ding Siliang: "Let Chen Youlong King come in." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just after Ding Siliang went, Zhu Youlang looked at General Jinyi Wei Dahan again: "You immediately rushed to Lin Shiwang's department, asking him to stick to Daqing Pass, pay attention to its north at any time, and if there is an urgent military situation, he can fight a decisive battle by himself." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Just when the Qing army was attacking Shaanxi, at this time in the direction of Huguang, Hong Chengchou also received news from the Qing court, learned that the Qing court accepted his opinion, and asked Doni and other generals to attack Shaanxi, Hong Chengchou immediately looked at the enemy in front of him again.

After Li Dingguo learned that Shaanxi had been restored, he immediately watched the hundred escorts to inspect the camps, and at this time Li Dingguo was thinking in his heart about how to defeat Hong Chengchou.

Li Dingguo knew that after the battle of Shaanxi at this time, it was Henan, and the strategy was getting closer and closer to the goal, and Li Dingguo seemed to see the picture of the soldiers coming to the capital.

However, when Hong Chengchou wanted to transfer troops into Guizhou, Jinyiwei passed the news to Li Dingguo, thanks to Zhu Youlang's early layout, at this time, Jinyiwei had spies in all directions, so Hong Chengchou's every move was under Jinyiwei's sight.

"Report, marshal, Hong Chengchou has planned to block the marshal, and the other to enter Guizhou as soon as possible, and then go straight to Sichuan to cut off the grain route in Shaanxi."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo's eyebrows jumped: "The summons generals gathered." ”

A few moments later, Li Dingguo looked around at the generals: "Now Your Majesty is winning in Shaanxi, and in Huguang, I have led the Ming Jian'er but have not made an inch, and I am ashamed." ”

As he spoke, Li Dingguo pointed to Guizhou marked on the map behind him: "Now the Tartars intend to cross Guizhou and go straight to Sichuan to cut off His Majesty's grain route." ”

At this time, Li Dingguo slapped the sword given to him by Zhu Youlang on the stage: "It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt people ten fingers, and I plan to cut off one finger of Hong Chengchou." ”

"I am willing to make meritorious contributions with the marshal and fight on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes......."

......

Seeing the excitement of the generals in front of him, Li Dingguo nodded with a satisfied face and said, "Okay." ”

Subsequently, Li Dingguo transferred the cavalry of the three divisions and the elephant soldiers to form an assault army, and the rest were in front to block Hong Chengchou.

After the dispatch was over, Li Dingguo led the cavalry and elephant soldiers to Yuanzhou at night, because most of the cavalry of the three divisions mixed with the Qing camp, so Li Dingguo changed his clothes into Qing soldiers and left, as for the elephant soldiers, they moved to Hong Chengchou's back, and when Hong Chengchou started the war, he gave Hong Chengchou a blow from behind.

However, what Li Dingguo didn't expect was that without waiting for Hong Chengchou to start the war, in Jiangxi, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong, who did not admit defeat, attacked Ganzhou City again after the reorganization.

At this time, the two thought that Li Dingguo had gathered heavy troops in Huguang, and the city of Ganzhou must be extremely empty.

But after Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong attacked the city, they understood what it meant to fortify the city and artillery, because at the request of Zhu Youlang, all places have strengthened and repaired the city walls, such as Chaozhou and Ganzhou, the city walls are thicker than Erjing, if it is not for the time not allowed, they can build higher than Erjing.

In the face of the bombardment of more than 2,000 Hongyi cannons in Ganzhou, Shang Kexi Geng Jingzhong's soldiers retreated without any fighting intentions, and just when Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong were about to retreat, Jiao Lian Wang Xing Yulong led his troops to open the city gate and ran out.

They went straight to Shang Kexi's Geng Jingzhong department, as if they didn't take them seriously, but Shang Kexi, who had suffered Jiao Lian's Wang Xingyu Dragon loss, retreated in fright.

It's just that those Qing soldiers will not be so obedient, and those Qing soldiers who were defeated and retreated that day ran in chaos, instead of listening to the banner and retreating, and the Qing soldiers fled in chaos for a while.

Seeing this, Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong, who knew that the general trend had gone, immediately fled to Wuchang quickly with a few henchmen, and as soon as the Ming soldiers came into contact with the Qing soldiers, they were slaughtered one-sidedly.

The Ming soldiers captured the captive slaves for seven days before the Qing soldiers under the city of Ganzhou were captured, and seven days later, Hong Chengchou waved his army to attack Li Dingguo's department.

Just when Hong Chengchou's troops had just begun, the news of Shang Kexi and Geng Jingzhong's defeat in Ganzhou came again, and Hong Chengchou, who was riding on the horse, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Are they pigs?"

Listening to Hong Chengchou's scolding, the generals around him bowed their heads and said nothing, at this time they understood that Jiangxi had failed, and if there were Ming elite troops to attack, then they would be in danger.

Thinking about the defeat in Shaanxi, the defeat in Chaozhou, and now the defeat in Ganzhou, Hong Chengchou shouted with a little sadness: "Zhuying troops, retreat to Changsha, and wait for the will of the court."

"Yes, General."

Under Hong Chengchou's order, the Qing troops gathered quickly, and did not wait for the Ming soldiers to react, but scattered in the direction of Changsha, without waiting for Hong Chengchou's order to pass to Zhao Butai, who was ready to lead the troops into Guizhou, Li Dingguo, who ambushed the troops in Yuanzhou, immediately waved his army to attack Zhao Butai.

At this time, most of the troops led by Zhao Butai were infantry, so when Zhao Butai found that there were cavalry attacking, he immediately had no time to dispatch soldiers to deal with it, and he never imagined that the Ming soldiers would let a large number of cavalry dress up as Qing soldiers to ambush here.

"General, the striker has been defeated, let's go."

Looking at the stunned general, Zhao Butai angrily pulled his knife and slashed it: "Soft bones, behead." ”

Looking at the frightened generals beside him, Zhao Butai said calmly: "I haven't seen any scene in general, what are you afraid of, the whole army will form a formation to meet the enemy."

Under the town of Zhao Butaiwei, those generals who called for retreat had no choice but to obey their orders, but before they could finish supporting the soldiers to form a formation, Li Dingguo came on a rampage with the cavalry.

Looking at the chaotic soldiers in front of him, Zhao Butai understood that his army had no combat effectiveness, and after a few painful glances at the soldiers and generals he had worked hard to train, he took a small number of cavalry to Baoqing.

At this time, after seeing Hong Chengchou retreat, those elephant soldiers also came to Li Dingguo, and when Li Dingguo thought that he couldn't catch Zhao Butai, Zhao Butai was very lucky to bump into the elephant soldiers.

In the fierce battle between the two sides, Zhao Butai was captured alive, and without the main general, Zhao Butai's troops surrendered to Li Dingguo.

Just as Li Dingguo was cleaning up the battlefield, a spy came to report: "Marshal, capture a Tartar herald." ”

A few moments later, Li Dingguo learned the news of Hong Chengchou's army from the mouth of this commander. Read the latest chapter of "Late Tomorrow's Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
