Chapter 442: The Ming army trapped in Dengfeng broke through
"King Chuang wants to find me to join forces to betray His Royal Highness King Qi?" When Zhang Xianzhong heard this news from the east, he suddenly laughed, and Sun Kewang beside him also chuckled silently, the thoughts of the eight kings have finally been revealed today.

"Pass the order down, play the banner of the Qi army, go southwest into the interior of Huguang, and go to Fengyang without going to Fengyang, Kong Youde thinks that if you hold my grain route, you can make me submit?" Zhang Xianzhong has been waiting for several months to get to this day, he does not hesitate to pretend to be a grandson in front of Kong Youde, isn't it for strength?
In this world, aren't the people who have a large army and achieve hegemony all once begged for a life to escape? Like Li Zicheng, who tried to win over the generals under his command, and then succeeded, even if he barely gained a foothold later, what could he do? Isn't it to be divided by the subordinates? That's more than his word.
"Honorable General's Order!" Sun Kewang agreed loudly, and then went down to order the armies to prepare to pull out the camp and go to Huguang.
"Dingguo, you send someone to bring a message to King Chuang, I will go south to Jiangxi, he will go south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, everyone has nothing to do with each other, if you violate my boundary, you will never be spared." If it weren't for the distance between him and Li Zicheng at this moment, which was hundreds of miles, Zhang Xianzhong would have wanted to lead people to exterminate this henchman in the future, but time did not allow, they had to master their own grain routes immediately when they left the Shandong boundary, otherwise they would not be able to escape if Kong Youde regretted it.
"Yes, General." Li Dingguo immediately heard the sound and went out, as long as Zhang Xianzhong is willing to stand on his own, then their status can also rise with the tide, this is almost the common appeal of all the generals under the command of the eight kings, after all, under the king of Qi, they can't even mix the title of general, and just out of the Shandong territory, Zhang Xianzhong gave them a wish as a general, can't this still make them serve their lives?

"Daming is over, and I have no words to see Your Majesty." Dengfeng, Henan, Lu Xiangsheng looked at the east face thief cavalry to kill his own generals, so he had nothing to love, from Guide to Kaifeng, his subordinates were defeated again and again, and the team deployed on the western front to defend the Qin army was also beaten down, and even the Qin army and the Qi army to this day, one is west of Xinzheng, and the other is camped in the east.
"Lord Governor, today, we have nothing to ask for, nothing more than a life and death duel with the rebels, there is not much food in the city, we have lost even the battle, the food and grass of the sergeants are not enough, and the city has begun to kill horses to satisfy hunger, but I don't want to be trapped in the city and wait for death, if I can, please let me lead the army and horses to rush again, and escort the adults across the Yellow River." Qin Yiming also no longer had any hope for the situation in Henan, anyway, the Ming Dynasty estimated that it was about to end, and even at this moment, the central government of the Ming Dynasty could not send any army to relieve the siege.
"Out of town? The world is so big, is there a place for me? Lu Xiangsheng said with a sad face, since ten days ago, the main force of the Shandong rebels marched westward, successively broke through Guide and other mansions, and the Ming army of Henan advanced eastward, but was directly defeated by the main force of the rebels in Dongjiang Town, Nanyang General Wang Zhong was killed, and the rest of the more than 20 deputy generals and generals were all lost, this battle, even Lu Xiangsheng's proud Tianxiong army lost 3,000 men and horses, and now retreated to Dengfeng,
He also wanted to order Qin Yiming, who was defending the Qin army in the west, to lead the main force of the Beijing camp to come to the rescue, but what he never expected was that after receiving the news, the Qin army was personally commanded by Guo Sheng, the governor of the First Army, in Henan Mansion, and first defeated the rescue soldiers and horses from Huguang, and then conquered Nanyang Mansion, cutting off the road for the Kaifeng Ming army to escape.
Zhao Mosheng, the governor of the Third Army from Huaiqing, led the main force of the army to the east and attacked Xingyang, defeating the main force of Qin Yiming who stayed here, and then Li Mao, the governor of the Fourth Army of the Qin Army, led the army to attack the Daimyo in the east of Zhangde Mansion, and defeated Liang Fu, the chief military officer of Baoding, so that the latter had to quickly lead the troops to the east to the boundary of Shandong, and as a result, he encountered the defeated army of Shandong, not to mention what to say about entering Henan to fight.
When Lu Xiangsheng led 5,000 remnants of the defeated army to retreat into Dengfeng, the 3,000 people in the Beijing camp led by Qin Yiming were also defeated, and the news brought made Lu Xiangsheng feel like he had been stripped of his soul, that is, now the entire Henan provinces, the west is basically occupied by the Qin army, and the east, is the Qi army that is advancing westward, and the two sides have returned to the division in the north of Kaifeng Mansion, basically leaving little time for the Ming army.
The remnants of the other Ming troops in Henan were the main force of the Shizhu battalion led by Ma Xianglin and Zhang Fengyi in Kaifeng, but the gap between the two was hundreds of miles, and there were more than 30,000 Qi troops on the way, so it was difficult to protect themselves, let alone any rescue.
"But Lord Futai, if the two armies in your hands and in my hands can't break through, then Kaifeng will be lost, and the Beijing Division will no longer have an army to fight." Now they know the news of Shandong's defeat without spreading it, because Dongjiang Town has appeared in front of them under the banner of the Qi army.
After thinking that Shandong's soldiers and horses were lost, they couldn't even raise any fighting intentions, and the whole army was panicked, after all, the situation in Shandong and Henan suddenly seemed to slide into hell, and the grain route of the Beijing division had been completely cut off, even if they could still return to the Beijing division, what confidence would they have to defend the Ming Dynasty?
"Where are you going back? Huguang's grain route has also been cut off, and even if we return to Jingshi, the saint will take our lives. Lu Xiangsheng said with a wry smile, at the beginning, he insisted on asking to be drawn from the Henan army to chase after the Liukou, but the saint was afraid that there would be changes in Henan, so he insisted on refusing, so that he dragged it out again and again, and reluctantly sent Sun Chuanting to lead the army eastward, but it was too late at that time, and the thieves became more and more courageous, and Sun Chuanting's main force was eliminated in the first battle.
Listening to Lu Xiangsheng's muttering, Qin Yiming didn't know what to say, but he couldn't watch the last elite of the Ming Dynasty buried here, if he could, he either wanted to lead his troops to break through from the south back to Sichuan, or follow Lu Xiangsheng to break through to the north to go to Beijing, anyway, he couldn't stay in Dengfeng and wait for death.
"Futai, if we are all wiped out here, then the Ming Dynasty is really over, please make a quick decision, if Futai is unwilling, then I can only break through and return to Sichuan." Thinking of Xu Mingcheng, the general soldier of Guizhou who surrendered in Luoyang, Qin Yiming was angry, if they could hold on a little, they would not let Huaiqing's Qin army sneak attack him in the south without scruples!
"The general wants to go back to Sichuan to protect Sichuan?" Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly before saying, "It's not a secret, the Qin army has conquered Sichuan before the 20th, and the Sichuan general Li Weixin led all the men and horses to surrender, and your sister, General Qin Liangyu, led the troops to break through the siege, and now I am afraid that they will enter Guizhou." ā
"What?" Qin Yiming was almost devastated by these successive bad news, but if he didn't return to Sichuan, then he would have to go, so he tried to persuade again, "Lord Futai, please follow the last general to break through and return to Beijing, Your Majesty needs you to command the counterinsurgency." ā
"I'm not going anywhere, all the cavalry under your command is cavalry, go fast, you just break through and go directly to Kaifeng to join General Ma Xianglin and go back to Beijing together, I sent troops from the Daimyo Mansion to today, it has been more than a year, and the 7,000 men and horses who followed me that day are only 3,000 people left today, I have no face to see them, not to mention that Your Majesty is as kind to me as a mountain, I lost my teacher in Henan and humiliated the country, what face do I have to go back to Beijing."
Lu Xiangsheng simply waved his hand, "It is impossible for the Qin army to continue to advance, judging from the confrontation these days, their strength has long been enough to destroy us, the reason why they don't move is because they are afraid of the hearts of the people in the world, they are going to use Kong Youde's hand to exterminate us, that tributary Kou army is to kill all the landlords in the world, so as to free up time for him to start changing the world." ā
"Futai?" Qin Yiming was still trying to persuade him, but he was resolutely stopped by Lu Xiangsheng, as if at this moment, the governor who had vowed to remove all obstacles for Daming had returned.
"It's useless to say more, I've made up my mind, you take the cavalry under your command and go, I'll give you all the war horses in the city, go northeast, this is the junction of the Qin army and the Qi army, the defense is the weakest, with your ability, there should be no problem to return to the Beijing division alive, let's go, it's too late until the two armies surround the city, there will be no more chance." Lu Xiangsheng can only fight to the death, although he knows that this has no meaning to the whole overall situation, but so what, he is a person of the Ming Dynasty in life, and he is a ghost of the Ming Dynasty in death.
"Your Majesty, revive the rivers and mountains!" When Qin Yiming opened the north gate with tears and fled, Lu Xiangsheng personally took the remnants of the three thousand Tianxiong army under his command to the city tower, he wanted to fight for the last chance of King Qin for the Ming Dynasty here, but what he didn't know was that there was no chance anymore, and even the Guan Ning army abandoned the Ming at this moment......
"Kill~!" The earth-shattering roar sounded immediately, the Qin army was to strengthen the last resistance of the Ming army, so let the main force of the Beijing battalion escape, it was best to let them fight with the Qi army in Kaifeng and other places, anyway, Kong Youde made up his mind to go north to attack the Beijing division, and the Guan Ning army had already sent people to Taiyuan at this moment to discuss the news of preparing to invite the Qin army into Beijing, after all, the Ming Dynasty had lost the last chance to turn the tables at this moment.
It is impossible for the Guan Ning army, which has a deep grudge with Dongjiang Town, to surrender Kong Youde, so they only have two ways out, one is to take refuge in the Qin army in the west, and the other is to take refuge in Dajin in the east, of course, this time is still sufficient, after all, Kong Youde wants to digest Henan and Shandong, and it will take at least a few months to go north......
