Chapter 35: I, Hu Hansan, are back again

Two days later.

"Why are you again?"

Yang Qing climbed onto the boat and looked at Li Laiheng who appeared in front of him in amazement.

He has completed the bloodbath program.

Starting from the Shaling Station, Gaoping Station, Panshan Station, Luyang Station, and Thirteen Mountain Posts are all solved, these post stations actually do not have many defenders, during the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong Post Station part-time fortress, there are a large number of Tuntian soldiers, and the vicinity is full of military households, but the Qing army is to treat them as pure post stations and warehouses, in order to facilitate their army to fight from the southeast of the Liao River, each post station is only one hundred and ten defenders, which is not necessarily enough for Yang Qing to kill himself, not to mention that he also has an expanding scale of minions to follow.

Dorgon was helpless against him.

This guy's movement speed is too fast, although Suke Saha led three thousand elites to chase after him, but it is still useless, it will not take long for him to wash a post station in blood, Suke Saha must follow behind to extinguish the fire to rescue those grains, otherwise their follow-up army will have to starve, in fact, at this time, in order to ensure supplies, Dolgon's army has to slow down and wait for the baggage team behind to keep up, although Jinzhou also has a large amount of grain stock, but they can't run three hundred miles without eating! In addition, Yang Qing also destroyed all the bridges along the way while washing the post stations in blood, although there is no big river on this road, but the small river can be there, there is not a single bridge left, the wood burned and the stone was demolished with his violence, but the pity was originally only three days away from Jinzhou, until now Dolgon's Chinese army arrived at Gaopingyi.

But this is only the Chinese army.

The last cannon fodder slaves who had to go on foot had actually just crossed the Sancha River.

The army of 70,000 people, horses, and all kinds of vehicles, without bridges to pass, relied only on a few dozen boats and those homemade rafts, and wanted to cross a large river one mile wide and had to withstand the ebb and flow of the tide every day.

In short, Dolgon was bitter by Yang Qingkeng.

After Yang Qing completed the bloodbath of the Thirteen Mountain Stations, he did not dare to move forward to provoke the Jinzhou area, where the defenders began to increase, but sneaked to the bank of the Xiaoling River at night and robbed a merchant ship that was supposed to be a Jin merchant transporting goods, and after killing all the people on board, he drove more than a hundred slave soldiers out to sea by himself.

Then they met the waiting fleet.

After He Kun returned to Laolongtou, Li Zicheng immediately sent reinforcements to him, along with some of the Jinyi guards by sea to the north by Huang Fei's warship, and the commander of this support army was still Li Laiheng.

"You can't trust your officers and soldiers so much?"

Li Laiheng said with a smile.

"If they can be trusted by me, then you can still talk to me like that?"

Yang Qing said.

"Ha, if we hadn't entered Beijing, you would probably be a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi now, and we poor people would not be too frightened by a Jinyi Wei Xiaoqi to speak."

Li Laiheng said.

"Thank you!"

Yang Qing said angrily.

"You're welcome!"

Li Laiheng said with a smile.

"Enter the Sancha River immediately!"

Yang Qing then said to a general of the Navy Division who stepped forward.

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Li Laiheng asked curiously.

"How many people did you bring?"

Yang Qing asked.

"Three thousand, they are the most capable of fighting, Wu Sangui is very tenacious in Shanhaiguan, plus the help of those Jiannu, we have not attacked several times, and the Jiannu of the former place also sneak attacks on the periphery from time to time, and King Chuang expects that it will take a few days to capture Shanhaiguan, so he must block Dorgon."

Li Laiheng said.

In fact, they were also afraid of the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.

Although they won the last battle, they also suffered a lot of losses, even if there were fierce generals like Yang Qing to help, and they used chiseling tactics to disrupt the Qing army first, and all of them were the main forces who went out to participate in the battle, and as a result, there were more than 7,000 casualties in a big battle. Li Zicheng also understands that this enemy is actually stronger than himself, if the follow-up 70,000 troops led by Dolgon arrive, then it will be really difficult for him to win again, in fact, he is in a lot of trouble now, and many places in Shandong have rebelled against him, and the rear is not very stable. Fortunately, he is also transferring troops from Henan to the north, but it also takes time to transfer troops from Henan, and now it can be said that the most important thing for him is to drag Dolgon's reinforcements as much as possible, if he can drag it until his Yuan Zongdi and other troops in Henan arrive, he can ensure victory.

Li Zicheng's forces were scattered.

The purpose of his march into Beijing was to force the palace to be the king of the northwest, and he did not submit to it because of Yang Qing's persuasion, he was ready to do so from the beginning.

So he is not attacking Beijing with all his strength at all.

A large number of his main forces are scattered all over the place, especially Yuan Zongdi, one of the five main forces of the department, is still in Henan, and Yuan Zong's first is Bai Wang's 70,000 people, who were originally blocking Zuo Liangyu, but with the agreement between him and Chongzhen, Yuan Zongdi can already withdraw, and before that, he also left Zhang Tianlin in Datong and Ma Chongxu in Zhending.

His forces are seriously scattered.

And as long as his men are gathered, he is not afraid of Dolgon at all.

But it takes time, especially since Yuan Zongdi is much farther here than Dolgon is here.

So he must fully support Yang Qing.

"Three thousand, it's a pity it's not a cavalry!"

Yang Qing said.

It will certainly not be the cavalry of the sea.

"But as long as my men have horses, they can be used as cavalry."

Li Laiheng said.

"Then get some war horses first!"

Yang Qing said.

So the fleet again drove murderously into the Sancha River with the tide.

There is no obstacle to Liangfangkou Fort, Dolgon is too lazy to replenish the defenders for this castle, and one hundred and ten people are purely for Yang Qing to cut his throat to play, no more......

No matter how much he has so many troops, how can he have such a surplus of troops.

He even crammed all the troops from fifty to sixteen or seventeen into this southbound army, and only the minimum was left in various places, and even important cities like Gaizhou only left a thousand people, how could there be surplus troops to be stuffed into a small place like Liangfangkou Fort. In short, Yang Qing's fleet rode the tide to kill the Liao River again, and then quickly landed at the mouth of the Sancha River, and broke through Dongchang Fort in less than half an hour. After taking Dongchang Fort, Yang Qing followed the army to Niuzhuang.

"Bring my baby!"

Yang Qing roared.

Jin Yiwei next to him immediately handed him a hurried gunpowder bag, saying that this thing weighed more than thirty catties, and the gunpowder alone contained twenty catties, Yang Qing picked up the iron chain tied to it, like carrying a huge meteor hammer, tried to dance a few times above his head, and then showed a satisfied expression on his face, and turned his head to Li Laiheng with a hint of evil smile......

"Ignition!"

He said.

"Are you crazy?"

Li Laiheng exclaimed.

"I just like to play crazy!"

Yang Qing said.

Li Laiheng took the torch, looked at him deeply, and then quickly lit the fuse for him.

The next moment, Yang Qing suddenly jumped out, like a war horse galloping at full speed, and rushed straight to the gate of Niuzhuang City.

The defenders on the city wall looked stupid directly, but the fuse burning fire quickly sobered them up, and then a total of four cannons were all pointed at Yang Qing, but the problem was that this guy was too fast, after the first round of solid bullets hit no hit, the second round of shotguns was not finished loading and he arrived at the moat.

Dense sharp arrows were shot out quickly.

In the falling arrows, Yang Qing, who was heavily armored, picked up the gunpowder bag in his hand again, and after three laps on the top of his head, he let go of his hand without hesitation and then turned his head and ran.

Behind him, the gunpowder bag whistled out.

This terrifying weapon was screamed on the city wall, under the jaw-dropping gaze of the Shun army and the Ming army sailors on the opposite side, it instantly swept over the wide moat and then fell into the city gate hole nearly thirty meters away, and the next moment the city gate hole suddenly became a cannon port for firing, and the flames and gunpowder smoke sprayed outward with various fragments, and when the gunpowder smoke dispersed, the city gate of Niuzhuang had been opened.

"Don't go yet!"

Yang Qing walked in front of the Shun army in the formation with a pretending indifference, and pointed back and said casually.

"Quick, attack!"

Li Laiheng instantly sobered up and hurriedly shouted.

His three thousand elite veterans immediately rushed forward with all kinds of weapons, and even those Ming army sailors were driven to the rhythm, roaring and rushing forward together, and those slave soldiers and Jinyi guards were even charging forward, saying that they were Yang Qing's people, and they couldn't embarrass their masters. As for the weak counterattack on the city wall, Niuzhuang has a total of 1,000 defenders, Dolgon has poured south, there will definitely not be too much here, after the city gate was blown open, in fact, the general trend has gone, in the end, Niuzhuang is just a small city with a circumference of less than two thousand meters, the attacking sailor Jiashun army has more than 7,000 troops, and the Ming warships are at the Niuzhuang wharf, and the cannons removed from the ship are constantly bombarded, in this case, the defenders are completely dying and struggling.

Just a few minutes later, the brocade guards, who had been the first to swim across the moat, began to storm the city gates.

Then there is the Shun army who knows how to water.

They and the Qing army in the city gate cave to start a real bloody battle, but as the Shun army continued to swim across the moat, the Qing army was still forced back by these elite veterans, when the first batch of Shun troops climbed the city wall and lowered the drawbridge, the battle was decided.

"Those who kill the slaves and surrender are not to blame, the other chickens and dogs are not left, and the property and women in the city are all rewarded to the brothers!"

Yang Qing said with a wave of his hand.

And then all that was left was a jubilant and bloodbathed in the cow village.

By the next morning, the city had been cleared, a thousand Qing troops were almost wiped out, even the inhabitants of the city were cleaned up, and Li Laiheng had also obtained three hundred valuable horses, a cavalry corps commanded by Yang Qing was quickly formed, including fifty former Baoyi, and Yang Qing's slave army was also expanded to three hundred after the Battle of Niuzhuang. Then Yang Qing led the cavalry to cross the Sancha River, and went straight to the rear of the Qing army along the land route, Li Laiheng led the main force to board the battleship, crossed the mouth of the Sancha River to the north, and continued along the Liao River.
