The fierce battle in Phoenix City was in full swing, and almost at the same time, the Hongtang soldiers in Hat Helmet Mountain and Liaoyang City also set out in unison, covering the Qing army outside the city and under the mountain.

The Qing army at the foot of the Hat Helmet Mountain was the least among the soldiers left behind, one was because the number of Geng Kongming's army on the Hat Helmet Mountain was small, and the overall strength of his army was relatively weak; Second, it is also because although the secret envoy sent by Dolgon did not say that Geng Kong and the two would return, the ambiguous posture of the two of them, as well as their attitude of commanding the army on the Hat Helmet Mountain, made the Qing people mistakenly think that they were already moved, but they were still hesitating.

And Geng Kong and the others were indeed a little hesitant to buy the Qing people, but after Geng Zhongming thought about it and did Kong Youde's ideological work, the two of them did not hesitate at all about the big counteroffensive plan sent by Phoenix City, and swooped down towards the tens of thousands of Qing soldiers under the mountain at the appointed time.

As for Shang Kexi in Liaoyang City, needless to say, their launch time was even more than an hour earlier than Wu Jie on the front line. Because of their counteroffensive this time, they not only wanted to directly defeat the Qing army under Liaoyang City, but also quickly moved south after defeating the Qing army under Liaoyang City to support Wu Jie, who fought a decisive battle under Phoenix City.

The three battlefields that were hundreds of miles apart attacked almost simultaneously, which was really a bit of a surprise for the unaware Qing army. If the Hongtang army had communicated with each other for a longer time and organized their actions more prudently, it could not have been said that their actions had already been discovered by the keen intuition of the Qing people.

However, Hongtang paid attention to the effectiveness of the plan, the convenience and secrecy of the carrier pigeon system, so that the connection between Hongtang's troops was close and fast, and the high-level personnel each had a valuable pocket watch in their hands, and launched an offensive, and the time difference between them was no more than half an hour, even if Dolgon became a master, he might not be able to notice it.

The first to win the opponent was the Geng Kong on the Hat Helmet Mountain that Wu Jie was most worried about, some time ago, the two Geng Kong on the Hat and Helmet Mountain set up a mysterious formation, which made them worry about the black, and then the base camp Li Tianyang sent a secret letter, asking him not to be too excited for the time being, and to believe in the other party, which made Wu Jie and them not too resistant to these two.

But just before and after the attack on Phoenix City, Geng Kong and the others on Hat Helmet Mountain personally led the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to attack, and soon killed the Qing soldiers and horses under Hat Helmet Mountain, and one person turned on his back.

In hot pursuit, Geng Kong and the others led the main force to chase the defeated Qing army north, and successively recovered many strongholds and county towns occupied by the Qing Dynasty's southern expedition.

"Old Geng, shouldn't we withdraw? This is more than 100 miles away from our hat and helmet mountain! ”

Finally fought a hearty victory, this pursuit forgot the time and the distance, and chased more than a hundred miles away, until the thousands of soldiers in Dongjiang Town were tired, and then temporarily camped in front of a tribal ruins.

While camping, the mid- and low-level non-commissioned officers were not idle, and they had to contain the fallen soldiers in the back, sorting out the materials and prisoners captured and captured along the way.

"You know what a!"

Geng Zhongming saw that there was no one around, and he was surrounded by his own henchmen and guards, so he opened his mouth and scolded Kong Youde with a smile.

"If Lao Tzu doesn't take you to the north to pursue a hundred and ten miles away, wouldn't it be that after defeating the group of Qing soldiers at the foot of the Hat Helmet Mountain, we still have to go east to join Wu Jie's division commander?"

Kong Youde nodded and replied as a matter of course.

"Isn't this a plan that has been decided a long time ago?"

"You stupid, now that we are over, wouldn't it be just in time for the decisive battle between the main force of Hongtang and the main force of the Qing army, and the level of fierce battle is probably not as easy and simple as the battle of our partial division."

"At that time, our thousands of tired divisions, according to Hongtang's military regulations and military system, I am afraid that we must undoubtedly launch an attack on the Qing army to relieve the pressure of Hongtang's main army."

"When the time comes, it is unknown how many of our brothers will survive, and even whether they will live to see victory in the end."

"That means you did it on purpose, allowing our brothers to go deep into pursuit in order to avoid the fiercest battle in the first place!"

The next thing, there is no need for Geng Zhongming to say anything more, Kong Youde, who has been in battle for a long time, can also understand his true intentions.

"Yes, old Geng, I knew that you were cunning and treacherous enough!"

Kong Youde laughed and patted Geng Zhongming and the others on the shoulder.

As former generals of the Ming army, most of them have been stationed in Dongjiang Town over the years, and they have few opportunities to come into contact with Hongmen's military regulations and military discipline, as well as the most important core concept of Hongmen, so Geng Kong and the two still maintain many shortcomings in their personalities and habits to become generals of the Ming army, such as selfishness, disregarding the overall situation to preserve their strength, and so on.

"Shhhh

Geng Zhongming glared at his old partner, and swept over the extremely lively team around him that no one noticed, indicating that there were many people among them.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Kong Youde didn't care and smiled.

It seems that in the short term, this Hongtang Division, which took the lead in breaking the deadlock, should not be able to catch up with the main force of Phoenix City to support Wu Jie and them, and what they can expect is that there is still an army in Liaoyang City, which is two or three hundred miles away.

Attacking 50,000 with 30,000 troops, it was still gratifying in terms of the number of troops, but after the real sword and gun were opened, it was only after the real sword and gun were opened that the difference in strength between the two armies Huang Zijian was realized.

It was caught off guard by a surprise attack, and the 50,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty have been scattered to besiege Liaoyang City, and when its main force suddenly came out of the south gate, more than 10,000 Qing soldiers outside the south gate were already a little unable to hold on under a charge.

Fortunately, before the collapse of the southern front, the commander of the Qing Dynasty, Fu Peng, brought 10,000 soldiers of the Qing Dynasty with yellow flags to make up for it and stabilize the front. Subsequently, the Qing soldiers of the remaining three lines of defense returned one after another and joined the ranks of the Hongtang army besieging the gate of Liaoyang.

The battle was fought from late at night to noon the next day, and the front of the Qing soldiers gradually declined, although the Fu Peng had a numerical advantage, but in terms of overall strength, they were more weak in combat power and other Han army and Korean soldiers, and Shang Kexi personally led the team into battle under the fierce offensive of Hongtang's elite, but there were also many loopholes and flaws on the front.

More and more gaps were opened, and the Qing and other positions fell into the situation of dividing the Hongtang army, and the Han army and Korean soldiers, who were the most numerous, were the first to be defeated, which then affected the entire Qing army.

When the sun gradually sank in the west, the last stubborn Qing army with the main force of the yellow flag was forced to kill out of the siege of the Hongtang army with Fu Peng, and when the emperor fled in a hurry, the Qing army under the city of Liaoyang, which had besieged the Hongtang soldiers for several months, can be said to have completely collapsed.
