Chapter 182 Defending the Qing Dynasty to the Death

The final result of the Battle of Yihe was that the Ming army beheaded 5,000 and captured 3,000 enemies, and the 20,000 Qing troops went south and only 12,000 were left to rout in the north.

All that's left is to hunt down.

Not only the cavalry of the Ming army, but even the cavalry of the defective army, and even the cavalry of the Shun army outside the city of Yizhou were transferred to join the pursuit of the Qing army, they had to chase the fleeing Qing army so that these guys had no time to enter Juzhou, after all, the Qing army would inevitably kill people and vent their anger after entering the city, and the end point of this pursuit was Muling Pass. In this era, Shandong was divided into two in this vast mountainous area, mainly two passages, one from Qingzhou south to Muling Pass into Lunan, and the other from Jinan south to Taishan to Luxi, sealing these two passages is equivalent to in fact with Dolgon in the middle of Shandong......

What Yang Qing wants is to divide Shandong.

Yang Qing did not have enough troops and financial resources to continue his expansion northward, especially since the Shandong gentry generally welcomed Dolgon.

After all, he still has a battlefield to the south.

And Huang Degong still has to warn Jin Shenghuan of the possible southward movement in the upstream, according to Jinyiwei intelligence, Dolgon has sent an envoy to win over Jin Shenghuan with the king of Chu. Whether this guy will accept it depends on whether the First Army can hold Henan, if the First Army and Yuan Zongdi do not hold the Yellow River, then Jin Shenghuan's surrender to the Qing is inevitable, and the First Army and Yuan Zongdi need to face Duoduo's main force of 100,000 Qing troops and the Mongol army. In addition, Yunnan Tusi rebelled and attacked Kunming under the banner of King Zungui, and Grandma Qin and Mu Tianbo had asked Yang Qing to send troops to rescue......

Yang Qing can be satisfied.

He finally used King Gui to lure the snake out of the hole.

But the upheaval in the north has made this plan to lure the snake out of the hole a cocoon, and I have to say that this is really embarrassing.

At the same time as the cavalry was pursuing, Wu Guogui returned to Yizhou with 5,000 Jiannu heads and piled up a fire outside the city of Beijing, and then unceremoniously beheaded the 2,000 wounded soldiers of the captured Qing army under the city of Yizhou. On the same night, there was a mutiny in the city of Yizhou, and several major generals under Bai Yongfu jointly murdered Bai Yongfu, and then opened the city gate to surrender to Wu Guogui, and the battle of Yizhou ended with a complete victory for the Ming army. Immediately after Wu Guogui and Gao Yigong divided their troops to pacify the counties belonging to Yizhou, and at this time the Fifth Army and the cavalry army marching along the canal had also captured Tai'an......

Dongpingzhou.

"It's back!"

Gao Dejie looked at Dongping City in front of him, recalling the past of the last time he fought the second daughter at night in a brothel.

Of course, this is not the modern Dongping.

In this era, Dongpingzhou City is a modern state town, and this era is not a modern insignificant town, in fact, this is the heart of the entire Grand Canal, and Daicun Dam, known as the heart of the canal, is in Dongping. The barrage forced the Wen River to overflow to increase the amount of water in the canal, which then crossed the Nanwang ridge, without which the Grand Canal would not have been able to continue to pass.

Of course, this is not the reason why the Qing army is stubbornly defending.

They only held on here because they didn't rush to Jining before the Ming army.

"Someone from the city is coming out."

Xue Quji, who was beside him, said.

Although they are at the same level, they are both in control, and Yang Qing did not say who led whom, but Xue Quji consciously retreated to the deputy, everyone knew that Gao Dejie was the most trusted thug of Zhongyong Hou, so he complained about Kong Xingqing's blood and tears when he was cut by a thousand knives, and Xue Quji could also guess who did the Kong family's extermination case.

Gao Dejie retracted that little sigh, and then watched dozens of elderly villagers walk out of Dongping City.

A group of Ming soldiers stepped forward and escorted them over.

"What do you want?"

Gao Dejie asked.

"General Gao, don't come unharmed?"

An old fellow grovelled.

"Do I know you?"

Gao Dejie said unexpectedly.

"The old man once saw the demeanor of the general outside Qufu City that day."

The old guy said.

"Ah, you weren't stepped on, were you?"

Gao Dejie said.

"Fluke, fluke!"

At the beginning, one of the sages who rode outside the holy gate of Qufu said embarrassedly.

"We're old people, let's talk about anything."

Gao Dejie said.

"General Gao, the entry of the Qing Dynasty is not to fight for the world with the Ming Dynasty, but the regent heard that he wanted to invade Jiangnan and smashed his back to save the danger of Jiangnan. Although the Ming and Qing dynasties fought for many years, but at this time, the regent did not care about the past suspicions, and saved the Ming Dynasty from danger. This is the Qing Dynasty to help the Ming Dynasty, I don't know why the princes of Nanjing thought it was a crime, and actually joined forces with the rebellion to attack the Qing Dynasty? ”

The old countryman said.

"Then if we go north at this time, Dolgon should go back to Liaodong, why don't you stay in Beijing?"

Gao Dejie said.

"This, the Ming Dynasty abandoned the north, the people of the north have nothing to rely on, in order to break through the rebellion, they have to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty went south to protect the people of the north is really in line with the people, neither to take the Ming Dynasty, but also to rely on the Beijing said? But the Qing Dynasty has absolutely no intention of being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty only takes the place of rebellion, and the Qing Dynasty is willing to be a brotherly state with the Huai River as the boundary. ”

The village sage said.

"So you invited him?"

Gao Dejie said.

"The regent is indeed at the request of the people of the north."

The village sage said.

Gao Dejie nodded in satisfaction.

"Cut down all these traitors, Ma, as a subject of the Ming Dynasty, but ran to invite foreign races to occupy the land of the Ming Dynasty, what is this not a traitor? The traitors of the Ming Dynasty are heinous, and they dare to take the initiative to come out and die, and they also say that the crime of treason is so high-sounding! ”

Gao Dejie said disdainfully.

"General, the two armies will not fight each other!"

The old man screamed in horror as he watched the soldiers rushing towards him.

The townspeople beside him screamed in horror.

"Come? What are you doing, but a group of traitors and traitors who surrendered themselves. ”

Gao Dejie sneered.

The soldiers then dragged the men who had come to find their own death to a visible place on the city wall, and unceremoniously cut off their heads amid their cries......

"Guys, do you see?"

Liu Yuyou, the former squire of the Ming Dynasty Ministry of Industry on the city wall, and now the Caoyun Governor of the Qing Dynasty, looked at this scene and said indignantly: "Jiangnan has long been a traitorous minister who is rampant with eunuchs, that Yang Qing is cruel and tyrannical, poisoning Jiangnan, killing nobles, destroying the clan, punishing meritorious heroes, and even controlling the government after the chaos. If I fall into his hands, I am afraid that the tragedy of the Holy Duke of Yan will repeat itself, only I, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the regent is the Holy Lord Mingjun, and the true Lord of Destiny. I Dongping officials and the people are united, for the Qing Dynasty to stick to this city, the regent prince led 100,000 troops have gone south, less than half a month when the triumphant song with the princes, together with the Qing Emperor's grace to enjoy the Qing Dynasty peace and prosperity! ”

"We will swear to defend this city for the Qing Dynasty!"

An official raised his arms and shouted.

In the midst of their roars, Liu Yuyou and He Luohui, who led the 5,000 Qing troops to enter Dongping first, looked at each other, and at the same time showed a hint of a smile.

But at the same time, a piercing whistling pierced the air.

The next moment a stack of arrows shattered.

In the shell hit, the broken bricks swept backwards like shotguns, and the nearest few old villagers were splashed with flesh and blood before they could react, and then more roared and surging forward, dozens of shells kept falling on the city walls, in the crowd, and even on the towers overhead. Broken bricks flew, wood and stone fell, blood and flesh splashed in the city head screamed, those originally full of pride and loyalty were instantly in disarray, and then the city guards on the city wall who forcibly grabbed the strong men screamed, and soon some people ran desperately to the city wall.

"Flee the battle!"

He Luo would roar angrily.

But it didn't work.

Although he was prepared to place the Qing army under the city walls as a warlord, the problem was that there were too few troops.

The main force of the Qing army in Shandong was Bahana.

Their goal is Xuzhou, but Xuzhou is defended by the main force of Gao Yigong's 50,000 Shun army, and of course Dolgon does not expect that the 20,000 or 30,000 Qing troops can break through, and they must first rescue Bai Yongfu, and only after getting the latter's claim of 100,000 troops can there be hope. He Luo will march along the canal just to contain it, he just comes to mobilize the confidence of the Luxi gentry and then collect these rabble, and then take them as cannon fodder to the south to join forces with Bahana to attack Xuzhou. But he didn't expect Yang Qing to actually form a cavalry army with a rapid assault, and he had just arrived in Dongping, and Gao Dejie captured Jining and Yanzhou.

As a result, he could only face the elite legion of the Ming army as soon as he entered Luxi.

As for Dorgon's 100,000 troops......

That's a lie.

But this is a white lie, after all, everyone is happy to keep Dongping, and those gentry don't have to face Yang Qing, who has been demonized, and he does have the support of the gentry, however......

The common people don't care about this!

How can the common people be in the mood to follow them to do Zhang Xun Xu Yuan! It's not that they haven't seen Yang Qing, and it's not that they haven't seen Gao Dejie, the last time Chongzhen went south, these people lived in Dongping. People go to the kiln to give money, don't eat overlord meals, don't rob things, don't molest women, compared with the Qing army who did all kinds of bad things as soon as they entered the city, these people seem to be the real kings, right?

I was already very angry when I was forced to go to the city wall before, but now as soon as the cannon is fired on the other side, it would be a fool if I didn't run here!

Overseer?

How can the 5,000 Qing army supervise the city wall for more than ten miles?

The 30,000 strong men who were forcibly requisitioned on the entire city wall fell with the cannonballs, and scattered in an instant, along the horse roads that entered the city, like a flood pouring down the Qing army, and even trampled them under their feet, and then disappeared directly into the streets and alleys of the city.

He Luo would look at the empty city wall in the blink of an eye without tears, as helpless as an old farmer who had planted false seeds in his field and failed to harvest. (https:)
