When the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had been dormant for two years, launched the Nanyang Campaign with great momentum, Ma Guanghui, the governor of Shandong, and Chang Adai, the king of the county, also led an army of 50,000 from Xuzhou to the south and launched a feint attack on Lianghuai.

Last year, Ma Guanghui defeated Dai Zhifan, his heart swelled, and the morale of the Qing army was also high, with 50,000 horses claiming to be 200,000, and the gongs and drums were noisy to the south.

At this time, King Lu raised troops from Zhejiang, and the news of the army's attack on Nanjing had reached the ears of the Qing army through secret agents, Ma Guanghui knew that the Ming Dynasty was in civil strife, and he was even more fearless, Chang Adai even imagined that the Qing army could be like Zuo Liangyu rebelled in the east, all the way to the wind and surrender, and once again to conquer Nanjing.

Because he knew the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army behaved very fiercely and arrogantly, and the sentry scouts came out, although there were only 50,000 people, and the task was to feint and contain them, but they put on a very tough posture.

For a time, the sentinels of the Ming and Qing dynasties rode on the front line of the Huai River, constantly engaging in battles, and the tense atmosphere began to spread.

In August, it was the critical moment of the autumn harvest, and the Qing army was near the Huai River, so that the Ming army on the Huai River line raised their spirits, closely defended the Huai River line, prevented the Qing army from crossing the river, grabbed the rice in Huainan, and broke through the Huai River defense line.

By the time the Qing army moved south, the battle thirty miles west of Zhenjiang had come to an end.

The rapid-fire artillery team that rampaged the Ma Army, outside the range of the rebels' weapons, bombarded the rebel formation, even if the rebels were in a tight formation, so passively beaten, there would always be a moment of being bombarded.

The artillery bombarded two rounds, and the rebels, who were already in confusion, had already loosened their formation, and at this time, Li Yuanyin suddenly rebelled, and the entire rebel array naturally ended quickly.

Li Yuanyin is Li Chengdong's righteous son, during the First World War in Zhangzhou, he was recruited by Wang Yan to surrender, and then for some reason, he was incorporated into the sequence of the Wuwei Army, but he always had a relationship with Wang Yan.

Just like King Tang and King Lu used various relationships to dig up Wang Yan's corner, Wang Yan naturally dug up the corner of King Tang and King Lu.

As the saying goes, as long as the hoe is swung well, how can there be a corner that can't be dug down, Wang Yan and Li Yuanyin have been in power for a long time, he has a lot of power, and there are many opportunities to swing the hoe, so with a little effort, Li Yuanyin was dug up.

When besieging and annihilating Duoduo's Yangzhou Corps, Wang Yan took advantage of the opportunity to transfer Li Yuanyin to Jiangbei to participate in the Battle of Yangzhou, so he got on the line with him.

The reason why Wang Yan dared to go to Huguang this time and lure King Tang and King Lu to do it was because King Tang had his people around him, and Wang Yan basically knew what King Tang and Jin Shenghuan were doing.

Wang Yan and Tang Wang originally belonged to the Longwu court, although they were later divided, but the two sides still have this constant connection, which is different from King Lu's Zhedong group.

Wang Yan won Jiangxi, and the middle and lower-level officers and non-commissioned officers of the Wuwei Army lost their fighting spirit.

This is the internal struggle of the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, if the Tang King wins, they will certainly be rewarded, if the Tang King is defeated, they will not be punished much as accomplices.

No matter how ruthless His Royal Highness the King of Chu is, it is impossible to kill tens of thousands of soldiers of the Wuwei Army, so after they learned that Jiangxi was controlled by the King of Chu, they lost their fighting spirit, and they didn't want to go to Zhejiang.

At this time, nearly 30,000 rampant horse troops rushed to the infantry formation, and 60,000 rebels immediately surrendered and fled.

It was mainly the Wuwei army that surrendered, and it was mainly the Zhejiang soldiers who fled, which is not to say that the Zhejiang soldiers were resolute, they just wanted to flee back to Zhejiang.

The 60,000 infantry army was defeated too quickly, and the naval division on the Yangtze River had already collapsed before they could react.

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, countless rebel soldiers fled all over the mountains.

After all, it was not to deal with the Qing army, so the rampage of the horse army left a hand, in addition to breaking through the formation when the killing ring, after the rebel formation collapsed, they just scattered the rebels to avoid the rebels from forming a formation again, and then the rebels who tried to flee to the river, drove back, the cavalry divided the rebels, circled around the fleeing rebels, and killed those who tried to resist, and the rest were surrounded by cavalry, and most of the weapons surrendered.

Compared with the rampaging Ma Army, the Wuwei Army who came over anyway was a little darker.

Perhaps in order to alleviate their own guilt for participating in the rebellion, they were eager to make meritorious contributions, but instead dealt a ruthless blow to the Zhejiang army.

The 60,000 army, anyway, is running around, and the entire south bank of the Yangtze River is everywhere, and the 30,000 rampaging horse army plus the nearly 10,000 armed guards anyway can't control the situation.

Throughout the south bank of the Yangtze River, the rebel soldiers fled all over the mountains, and the dense crowd was like a gap in the Yangtze River, and the river broke out of the embankment.

One of the groups of men and horses, many of whom had no weapons in their hands and had discarded the armor on their bodies, these people supported each other and fled eastward quickly, and from time to time some people fell down, and their comrades did not dare to stop for a while, and dragged them away.

King Lu was surrounded by Xiao Qihui and others in the middle, and the golden armor and scarlet cloak on his body had already been discarded.

The rampage of the horse army is powerful, once it is targeted, it is difficult to escape, King Lu's Daxu, the banners of the generals, are all thrown on the road.

The army is defeated, King Lu looks very embarrassed, covered in blood, his hair is scattered, how can he still have the majesty when he went out of Zhejiang? He rode at the head of the procession, and kept turning back and shouting to the exhausted soldiers as they continued on their way.

"Where is this?" King Lu asked as he gasped, his eyes blank, and he even rolled his eyes a little. ????" Your Royal Highness, it has passed Gaozi Town, and more than ten miles further on, it is Zhenjiang! Xiao Qihui said breathlessly.

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, opened his chapped lips and asked, "Your Highness, should we go straight south back to Zhejiang, or should we go to Zhenjiang to meet the water master!" ”

King Lu listened to his words, looked back at the defeated soldiers, his heart was sad, his heart was like a knife, tens of thousands of troops went out of Zhejiang, and now where does he still have the face to return to Zhejiang.

"Go to Zhenjiang!" King Lu raised his head and sighed, maybe he was in this mood when the overlord was by the Wujiang River.

However, it is said that King Lu fell the remnants of the army and galloped to Zhenjiang, and after a while, he hid in Zhenjiang City, and after a while, Feng Jing, Wang Yi and others also fled to Zhenjiang with some people.

Except for some who escaped, most of the rest were captured by the rampaging Ma army.

Ruan Jun, the general of the Zhejiang army, he is the brother of Ruan Jin and Ruan Mei, the Ruan family, can be said to be the pillar of the Lu Wang army, he was surrounded by Zhao Shenkuan in order to cover the retreat of the King of Lu, and was helplessly captured.

In Longtan Town, the shouting and killing continued, Jin Shenghuan saw Li Yuanyin's rebellion, and immediately became furious, led his own soldiers to leave King Lu, and wanted to return to the right wing to suppress the rebellion of the Wuwei Army with his prestige, but before he returned to the right wing, the Zhejiang soldiers were rushed by the Ma army.

The army was defeated like a mountain, he could not retreat, and was surrounded by the rampaging horse army in a wilderness east of Longtan Town.

After all, Jin Shenghuan has commanded the Wuwei Army for many years, and he also has some personality charm, although Li Yuanyin is anyway, there are still many people who are loyal to Jin Shenghuan.

In particular, the Wuwei Army is different from other Ming armies, because the salaries are in the hands of Jin Shenghuan, and they are not directly paid to the soldiers by the imperial court like the Five Loyal Army, so the Wuwei Army still maintains a backward family system.

Although the army was defeated, there were still nearly a thousand families gathered around Jin Shenghuan, and they were encircled by the official army, but they still fought back, trying to protect Jin Shenghuan to break through.
