Chapter 430: Nanming Beacon Fire 11

When the 150,000 army suddenly appeared, Feng Shuangli hurriedly transferred back the soldiers from the nearby counties and towns, and transferred those elite soldiers back, mobilizing the squires and powerful family members and generals in the city, and the strength of the army also reached 50,000 troops.

At first, it was able to resist in the nearby county seat, but soon under the bombardment of Kong Youde's later artillery, the county town fell, and the defending Southern Ming army either fled or was captured, and some soldiers fled back to the capital of Wuzhou.

Brought back the news of where the enemy was attacking.

As the days passed, the surrounding counties fell one by one, and those elite county guards were the opponents of the 150,000 army, and they defended for a week, because Kong Youde did not send his new army, and so Kong Youde was really impatient, and sent the artillery of the new army to bombard the past, and the defenders either fled or surrendered, and in less than a week, all the peripheries were lost.

After gathering the thousands of Southern Ming troops who fled back, and selecting 10,000 young and strong people from the people who fled to Wuzhou Mansion, Feng Shuangli immediately began to dig trenches, set up horses, and build forts, wanting to learn the methods of the Huaxia army under the city of Raozhou to resist Kong Youde's army.

And sent the personnel sent by the Huaxia Army, who had always been unaccustomed to it, to the front line to guide the excavation and defense work, of course, he paid a lot, and he paid money, and he gave beautiful women, in short, he almost cried his father and called his mother.

He knew that it was not good to sharpen the gun in this way, and it might not be able to achieve the effect, so he sent someone to find his general, let him bring the troops back to rescue, and at the same time asked the court for reinforcements, but the news became more and more thrilling to him day by day, his general told him that he was also on the way to escape, and the army led by Kong Youxing fought him all the way to defeat, the territory of Guangxi Prefecture was lost, the territory of Guangdong Prefecture was lost, Kong Youxing attacked all the way east, and went deep into the territory of Nanming Kingdom that did not belong to his jurisdiction, and the defenders on the territory of Nanming Kingdom were not the enemy's generals, The city was lost in less than two hours, and in three days, the whole city died heroically.

And the opinion of the Southern Ming court turned out to be that he should stick to Wuzhou Mansion and not give up, as for the reinforcements, no, the imperial court transferred all the troops that could be mobilized nearby to defend the imperial court in Zhaoqing Mansion.

Feng Shuangli was sad all day long, and on the tenth day, Wuzhou Mansion was besieged by 150,000 troops, and the news could not come out, whether it was to ask for help or escape, it was impossible for him to escape, he missed the opportunity to escape, so he had to lead his troops to resist desperately.

On the first day, he and Kong Youde tested each other, and Kong Youde sent troops to attack his first line of defense.

Located five miles outside the city, the defense line composed of tun forts, trenches, and horses.

Where he laid out five thousand soldiers and horses, plus the artillery of the Ming army, a team of a thousand musketeers.

Five thousand Qing troops trembling close to the trench, was killed by bows and arrows, killed hundreds of people, the second time, the Qing army again sent five thousand Qing troops forward, this time the enemy attacked the trench, and even jumped into the trench with the Ming army hand-to-hand combat, both sides suffered more than 2,000 casualties, hit to noon, had to rest, fight again in the afternoon, Feng Shuangli sent five thousand young men to reinforce the defenders of Tunbao, and brought thirty tiger squatting cannons.

This time, the Qing army sent 8,000 surrenderers, 2,000 Qing troops, and 1,000 cavalry to assault, fighting from noon to dusk, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

The first trench was in vain, the enemy soldiers surrounded the fort, and bombarded it with artillery, and the fort fell one after another at night, and the Ming army who fled back was only more than 2,000 people.

In this way he lost most of his cannon fodder troops, and the next day, the two sides fought again, and the enemy forced a second trench, three miles outside the city walls.

Feng Shuangli sent 10,000 young men defending the city and yesterday's 2,000 defeated soldiers to defend, and also sent 2,000 arquebusiers and 30 artillery pieces of the Ming army.

This time, after two days and two nights, the Qing army lost 20,000 surrendered troops, basically exhausted the surrendered troops, and lost 5,000 soldiers and horses, more than 2,000 arquebuses, and more than 20 artillery pieces.

And Feng Shuangli exhausted his cannon fodder soldiers, and the Ming troops who fled back and more than 10,000 young people in the city were lost.

It also lost 3,000 musketeers, more than 50 artillery pieces, and more than 1,000 of its own elite soldiers.

The third trench is only one mile away from the city, and it can be supported by the cannons purchased from the Huaxia army at the head of the city and the thousand-pound cannons of the Ming army.

However, this time Kong Youde came up and bombarded directly, and a hundred Ming army cannons were opened, all of which were 2,500 catties of red-coated cannons, all of which hit the city, and the shells fell into the city.

The artillery on both sides came and went, and the artillery was fought all morning, but no soldiers were used to attack, Kong Youde damaged thirteen cannons, ten cannons were blown up, and more than 2,000 artillery were killed and wounded, while more than 1,000 soldiers of the Southern Ming Kingdom were killed and wounded, and many city walls were also crumpled and cracked by the cannons, and more than 20 cannons were damaged.

In the afternoon, the fighting continued, and the two sides increased their artillery, and the artillery increased by Kong Youde began to bombard the trenches, forts, and horses of the third line of defense, and at the same time sent the captured people to fill the trenches and use the soldiers to storm the third line of defense.

Of course, those soldiers were all soldiers of the green battalion of the Qing army who followed Kong Youde, but were not welcomed.

The two sides fought from the afternoon until dark, and then Kong Youde attacked from all sides and besieged Wuzhou Mansion.

At the same time, he sent an army of 50,000 troops, 10,000 troops of his new army, and fired at the new army of the Southern Ming Army.

In the middle of the night the next day, I had to rest.

This time, the Qing army lost 20,000 soldiers, 30,000 people who filled the trenches and rivers, the new army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, more than 30 cannons were damaged, and 20 were damaged, the results were still remarkable, the first trench on both sides was filled, the trenches were captured, the tunpu was besieged, and the 15,000 Southern Ming troops who went out of the city to fight were besieged.

The Southern Ming army lost more than 60 cannons, more than 2,000 dead and wounded at the head of the city, more than 8,000 dead and wounded under the city, about 3,000 people fled into the city, and the remaining 15,000 troops were besieged in trenches and forts.

The forts near the city wall were relatively large, and each fort could garrison 1,500 people.

Both sides had a day off, and the war had been going on for more than a week.

It's mid-July.

The whole war has been fought for a month and a half.

Zhang Qiang watched the movements of the Qing army, and there were more and more signs that the Qing army confronting the Huaxia army did not make major movements, but only once mobilized the Qing army to support the Qing army in Guangxi Prefecture, Kong Youde.

Su Zhengqing steadily attacked Guilin Mansion, cautiously, for fear that the enemy would suddenly emerge with several large armies to surround a small half of the army that he had already returned.

Mang Gurtai's army has come to Guilin Mansion, which makes Su Zhengqing hesitate, there are no reinforcements, is it to fight or retreat?

300,000, he is currently only 40,000 new troops, plus Tong Dawei's 6,000 Huaxia Army, but 46,000 troops, if you add Li Chengdong's troops, it is only 65,000 troops, although there are still 20,000 cold weapon troops, 40,000 troops and generals, and a total of 120,000 troops, but he is still not sure of victory, and the will of the imperial court has arrived, let him lead the troops back to help, Su Zhengqing is really not good to decide.

If Li Guangdi said that he would return to the army, he would not hesitate, but he was about to arrive at Guilin Mansion, and the return army would miss the opportunity, and it was still unknown whether he could have another chance to fight Guilin Mansion, and Nanming really needed a big victory, even if it was to end the enemy's lair and not catch the enemy's main general.

It is impossible to capture the enemy's main general, Kong Youde is attacking the Wuzhou Mansion of the Southern Ming Kingdom.

Kong Youxing is still in the Trench Gate Realm and Li Guangxiong is consuming.

Didn't you say that Huaxia Army would help you? Why are you in such a hurry, the Huaxia Army also sent troops to the rescue, let me finish this battle, at least a big victory, the army came, in addition to besieging Liuzhou Mansion, it was simply a punch on the cotton, and there was no decent victory.
