Chapter 434: Nanming Beacon 15 - Sneak Attack on Yunnan
Looking at the Qing army scattered and fleeing, looking at Feng Shuangli who broke through with a part of the breakout soldiers, and then saw the entire Wuzhou Mansion falling, the Qing army was vigorously pursuing Feng Shuangli's subordinates, and the fierce Feng Shuangli was finally beaten back to his original form again after operating for a few years, and fled back to Zhaoqing Mansion with a very small number of troops.
Zhang Qiang opened his eyes in the small building of Raozhou Mansion in the distance, and shook his head, neither the Qing army nor Feng Shuangli's army seemed to have mastered the secret of shooting with a platoon of guns, and when they were in a hurry, they still used the hand-to-hand combat method of the cold weapon era to solve the war by relying on strength and numbers.
If this is the case, the battle between his Huaxia army and the Qing army Hong Chengchou will not need to drag on for so long, Zhang Qiang is thinking, is it right to launch a general attack on the Qing army?
I don't know what happened to Su Zhengqing?
The latest news is that he and Li Guangdi are still hesitating, and after the Longwu Imperial Court got Li Guangxiong to defeat Kong Youxing, Kong Youxing withdrew and immediately sent 10,000 reinforcements to Su Zhengqing.
Longwu Nanming was also watching, Wuzhou Mansion was not so anxious about the war at that time, and they got the news of the enemy's reinforcements, and sent back the 10,000 Ming troops who came back, but they still left nearly 30,000 Ming troops in Zhaoqing Mansion, afraid that after Kong Youde's large army broke Wuzhou Mansion, they would immediately attack Zhaoqing Mansion.
Zhang Qiang transferred the war eagle to check on the battle on Su Zhengqing's side.
Wuzhou Mansion.
After Kong Youde defeated Feng Shuangli, he occupied the capital city of Wuzhou, and while cleaning the battlefield, he waited for Kong Youxing to come and meet him with a large army.
Here he looked at nearly half of the dead and wounded, and he wanted to cry without tears.
Who invented the trenches?
Let the soldiers crouch inside to shoot arrows, bid for guns, defend with arquebuses, assist in defense with cannons, and combine tunpu to support each other and contain opponents, because this new method of fighting made him a big heel.
Too many soldiers were sent out to assault in front, but they were killed and wounded a lot, and many people were wounded by bows and arrows and arquebuses.
More than 30,000 wounded, so many wounded, more than 40,000 soldiers died, almost as many as the enemy defending the city.
Kong Youde didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only ask a doctor to treat them on the one hand, send someone to resettle them, and arrange someone to repair the city wall of Wuzhou Mansion on the other.
After listening carefully to the narrative of the veteran who blocked Feng Shuangli, Kong Youde patted his thigh and shouted regret, he knew where Feng Shuangli broke through from, he would definitely send more cavalry to chase after him, and he must leave Feng Shuangli behind, but it doesn't matter what he says now, Feng Shuangli is a cunning old fox, constantly dividing troops on the way, attracting pursuers, and finally gathering soldiers and horses dozens of miles away in Zhaoqing Mansion.
In the end, he escaped the pursuers arranged by Kong Youde.
Soon, Kong Youxing returned to Wuzhou Mansion with 40,000 soldiers and horses defeated by the remnants of the army, and the two brothers combined, go back.
Half of the 200,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and most of the captured soldiers of the Southern Ming Dynasty who surrendered were lost, either killed in battle or fled.
At present, the soldiers are tired and sleepy, the weapons and equipment are also very damaged, and the grain and grass are not enough, Feng Shuangli burned the grain and grass when he left, so that the people of the entire Wuzhou Mansion have nothing to eat, not to mention Kong Youde's 100,000 army.
The two of them took their troops to rest in Wuzhou Mansion for a few days, preparing to start the march.
During the period, the news from Guilin Mansion was constantly received, the 100,000 troops of the Southern Ming Army swept around Guilin Mansion, broke through more than a dozen county seats, and the 200,000 troops of Tongmang Gurtai, as well as their own 60,000 troops, and the remaining 40,000 troops had been mastered by Shang Kexi, who had fled back, and the 50,000 troops of the Ma Degong brothers, hide and seek, made it difficult for several parties to seize the Southern Ming Army with fewer troops than them, forming a situation of encirclement.
Seeing this situation, the two brothers immediately decided to go back to Guilin Mansion, encircle the Southern Ming Army from the direction of Liuzhou Mansion, completely annihilate the Southern Ming Army, and then combine with several families to make a comeback with a large army and eliminate the Southern Ming Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Of course, Wuzhou Mansion can't give up, Kong Youde left 20,000 remnants of the defeated generals, plus 5,000 of his own troops to guard here, leaving the veteran who blocked Feng Shuangli and didn't succeed to guard here, after all, this is the gateway to Zhaoqing Mansion, and it was not easy to fight down, how could he lose it?
With an army of 90,000, two people rushed to Liuzhou Mansion in the starry night.
Just when they were about to arrive at Liuzhou Mansion, a Tanma reported to them that Liuzhou Mansion had been taken by the Ma Degong brothers.
The next day, they received the news that the Southern Ming army was besieged in a small county town, and the two of them were inexplicably excited, and immediately set off and took the army to meet with several other Qing troops.
Halfway through, they received another day of news that Yunnan Prefecture was empty, and Li Dingguo's ministry exterminated Tusi in Guizhou Prefecture, and fought with Wu Sangui, Haoge and others in Guizhou, and the border of the four mountains.
Kong Youde was happy that the Qing Dynasty had exterminated the remnants of the Ming army, but it was too far away, so it was better to take care of his side first.
At this time, Kong Youxing said: "Big brother, since Guangxi is safe and sound, the Southern Ming Army will be exterminated soon, there are nearly 400,000 troops there, and we will have no merit to go again, but Yunnan Prefecture is empty, why don't we take Yunnan?" ”
Kong Youde touched his chin and pondered for a long time, "But our territory is in Guangxi Prefecture, how can we go to Yunnan, and if the war is unfavorable, how can we go back?" Don't let Shang Kexi, that old guy eat and wipe clean here? ”
Kong Youxing said: "Big brother, we have been running Guangxi Prefecture for a few years, and outsiders can take it away if they want to?" Although this battle has disturbed our forces around Guilin Mansion, Liuzhou Mansion and Nanning Mansion, but after the war a little recovery, where are our people in power, or ours, according to the secret report, the Ma Degong brothers stole our 20,000 troops, thinking of going to Huguang to develop, now their territory is also ours, others can't intervene at all, not for a year or two, here can not be changed. ”
"Great, then let's go to Yunnan, where the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, let's go in and sweep the 100,000 army, and run it well, and it will become ours again, then I, the king of Dingnan, will be worthy of the name."
"However, what if Li Dingguo comes back?"
Kong Youxing smiled, "Can he come back?" According to the intelligence, Hong Chengchou transferred 100,000 troops to help Wu Sangui and Haoge, think about it, Tusi, Wu Sangui, Haoge, and other Qing army generals, that one is a vegetarian, so many troops attack Guizhou Prefecture, does he Li Dingguo have three heads and six arms? He will definitely be defeated, and when the time comes, we will wait for work and just destroy him. ”
After the two people decided, they took 90,000 troops to attack Nanning Mansion, where there were only more than 1,000 Ming troops and thousands of Qing troops to defend, not a few days, after losing more than 5,000 soldiers and horses, they successfully conquered Nanning Mansion, and then where to rest for a few days, raise enough grain and grass, and take the army to Yunnan Prefecture.
Zhang Qiang's war eagle patrolled the sky over Guangxi Prefecture from time to time, and happened to see them heading towards Yunnan Prefecture, but he was powerless, even if he sent a messenger from Raozhou Mansion in Jiangxi Prefecture to warn him, he had to walk on the road for a month or two, maybe he would make the messenger lose contact and be killed, all kinds of possibilities, where is not his own territory, from the route of the Kong Youde brothers' march, straight to Yunnan Prefecture, he can only pray that Li Dingguo can return to Yunnan Prefecture in time to meet the Kong Youde brothers.
At this time, things are really unpredictable, it is difficult to grasp, and I don't know what reason affected the Kong Youde brothers, so that they changed from attacking the Southern Ming Kingdom to attacking the Yongli Daming.
Just as Zhang Qiang's war eagle returned, from another road, about a hundred miles ahead of the Kong Youde brothers, Zhang Qiang saw another team.
