Behind the city wall of the southern city, the defense line of the Qing army was already precarious, and a fire suddenly broke out in the city.

After entering the city, the Chu army immediately put out the fire and calmed the people, cleared the remnants of the enemy, seized the barracks, the treasury, the granary, and the prefect's yamen, and searched for the whereabouts of Xiong Lichun and Shi Yongzhong.

Wang Kefan soon received a report that Xiong Lichun and Shi Yongzhong had fled from the north gate, and also took away the remnants of about 2,000 defeated generals, and divided into several roads to disperse in the east, north, northeast and other directions to break through, and the cavalry of the Jiang Cavalry Battalion and the West Cavalry Battalion were chasing and killing from behind.

"In which direction did Xiong Lichun run, can you be sure?" Wang Kefan asked.

"His flag went due east, bypassing Pingtian Lake and heading straight to Jiuhua Mountain, I don't know if it's true or not." The scout replied.

"It should be true......," Wang Kefan thought about it, nodded and said: "Jiuhua Mountain is the closest, and I can get rid of the pursuing cavalry in the mountainous area, and if it were me, I would also choose to break through there." Forget it, sue Wang Meng and Ti Zhaorong, and after chasing out for thirty miles, they will collect their troops and withdraw to Guichi as much as possible. ”

Poor Kou Mo chases, Xiong Lichun's department has suffered more than half of the casualties, and there is no big threat, but the other reinforcements of the Qing army are approaching Guichi, and the fastest one will arrive tonight, and a new big war is imminent!

"The plan of the General Staff is to stick to Guichi and wait for the enemy to go ......"

After some arrangement, Xiong Lichun's Zhongjun Hall was transformed into a large conference room, with a large-scale map of more than one person high hanging on the wall, and Jingliang held a baton in his hand to guide and explain on the map. Perhaps it was the first time he had spoken on behalf of the General Staff at such an important military meeting, and his expression was a little nervous.

"Our army has just gone through a tough battle, and it should rest for two to three days before looking for the next fighter. Although the city wall of Guichi was blown up in three places, it could be blocked and repaired as soon as possible, and Xiong Lichun was in a hurry to escape, and it was too late to burn down the granary and armory, and our army captured a large amount of military food and ordnance, which was enough for more than half a month. Therefore, the General Staff built yì to stick to Guichi and avoid the war for the time being. ”

Jing Liang took a breath lightly, and then said: "Since Guichi has been conquered by our army, the reinforcements of the Qing army have lost their inner line, and it is no longer suitable for a decisive battle with our army. They came in a hurry, carrying limited food supplies, and when they saw that our army could not hold out, they would retreat on their own......"

After his remarks, there was a buzz in the room, some in favor and some against, and there were relatively many in favor.

Wang Kefan kept staring at the map, frowning and thinking about something, but did not speak.

Although Guichi is not as good as Anqing and Nanjing, it is also a very important city along the Yangtze River...... In addition to the 3,000 reinforcements sent by Tunbur in Anqing Prefecture, Ma Guozhu, the governor of Jiangnan, reacted more violently, sending several reinforcements from Nanjing, Pukou, Zhenjiang, Guangde and other places.

Among the reinforcements sent by Ma Guozhu, there were two of them with the fastest march.

One was the Jiangning Green Battalion from Nanjing, with a total of 3,500 armored soldiers and a number of auxiliary soldiers, led by Zhang Tianlu, the governor of Jiangnan, who took Xia Jianren's sailor warship up the Yangtze River and arrived in the north of Chizhou Prefecture.

The other is the Dangtu Green Battalion of Chi Tai's General Soldier Bu Congshan, a total of 1,500 armored soldiers, 50 ranger scouts, and a number of auxiliary soldiers, who went straight to Guichi along the bank of the Yangtze River from Route 6, and had passed through Tongling County, the capital of Chizhou.

Bu Congshan is the chief soldier of Chi Tai, as the name suggests, his defense areas are Chizhou Mansion and Taiping Mansion, and he is Xiong Lichun's top boss. He was stationed in the capital of Taiping Mansion on weekdays, but when Chizhou Mansion was lost, he had to follow him, so he was the most active in coming to help, and he ran fast all the way. (Taiping Mansion is between Chizhou Mansion and Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, the area is not large, under the jurisdiction of Dangtu, Wuhu County, also on the south bank of the Yangtze River.) ）

Bu Congshan is a person, Wang Kefan has some impressions.

He is a native of Shaanxi, born in the army, served as the chief soldier of Henan during the Chongzhen period, and Chen Yongfu is a famous second general, many times and Li Zicheng's peasant army fought, surrendered after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and has been stationed in Nanzhili in recent years. (Chen Yongfu's most famous record is to defend Kaifeng and shoot Li Zicheng in one eye.) ）

Bu Congshan is not a good general, he was abused back and forth by Li Zicheng when he was in Henan, but he did two major things in his life, although it was not a glorious thing, but he also left his name in history.

When Li Zichengsan opened the seal, he couldn't attack it for a long time, so he decided to open the embankment of the Yellow River in Majiakou and flood the city. Bu Congshan also happened to think of a water attack, ran to the upper reaches of the peasant army, opened the embankment of the Yellow River in Zhujiazhai, and flooded the peasant army...... At that time, it was catching up with the heavy rain for several days, the two sides were excavated together, and the two floods burst the embankment together, not only flooding Kaifeng City, but also the peasant army that was caught off guard also became a soup chicken, drowning hundreds of thousands of people in total, and more than 10,000 peasant troops.

In the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng was the largest city in the world, and it was also very prosperous during the Ming Dynasty, but after this man-made flood, the ancient capital of Bianliang was deeply buried under the yellow sand, and since then it has been in a slump, and in modern times, Kaifeng has become an inconspicuous small city. (The ruins of the Zhou Wangfu are five meters underground in Kaifeng.) ）

In addition to flooding Kaifeng, after Bu Congshan surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, he was in the limelight because he captured Huang Daozhou with Zhang Tianlu.

(Huang Daozhou was a giant of the Donglin Party, and the Longwu court served as the assistant of the court during the Fujian period, and when Boluo went south, before Emperor Longwu fled to Tingzhou, Huang Daozhou led the volunteers north out of Xianxialing, and was defeated by Zhang Tianlu and Bu Congshan, and was captured and martyred.) ）

In the room, everyone was still arguing, but Wang Kefan had already made up his mind.

Bu Congshan, this guy, his ability to fight is not too strong, and his troops are limited, since he dares to be the first bird in the lonely army, of course he can't let him go lightly.

"I don't agree with the opinion of the General Staff......"

In the afternoon of the same day, more than 6,000 people from the Gongyi Battalion, the Jiangqi Battalion, and the Firearms Battalion of the Chu Army went out of Guichi again and marched to the northeast.

Bu Congshan fled alone, gathered the remnants of the defeated army and retreated to the bank of the Yangtze River, trying to get support from Zhang Tianlu and Xia Jianren.

To the south of Guichi, after the reinforcements of Tunbur arrived at Dadu Port on the naval warship, they heard that Guichi was lost and could not enter, so they hesitated to wait and see. r1152
