Chapter 376: Capture the Army

The battlefield gradually calmed down, under the two-way attack of the Eight Banners and Liu Liangzuo, the Green Battalion soldiers who participated in the rebellion were all killed, and only the leading general Liu Yunlong jumped into the canal under the escort of a few people and fled to the Ming warship.

Looking at the mess on the battlefield and the corpses everywhere, Liu Liangzuo wanted to cry without tears, and roughly estimated that the number of dead and wounded soldiers in this battle should be more than 10,000! Among them, there were very few soldiers who were actually killed by the Ming army, most of them were killed by each other during the chaos, and were killed by the Eight Banners and their own people during the riots!

But Liu Liangzuo didn't have time to grieve, because the first thing he had to face now was the wrath of Belenica.

"Pig, bastard, how did you lead the army and dare to use knives and guns against the Eight Banners!" Nikan angrily pointed at Liu Liangzuo and scolded, and strings of foul words burst out of his mouth, even if Liu Liangzuo couldn't understand Manchurian, he could guess that he was insulting himself.

Being scolded in front of so many subordinates, Liu Liangzuo's face was gloomy, and a wave of anger also erupted from his heart. In the past year, he has been used to being a warlord in a town, and even the supervisor Shi Kefa has been kind to him, how could he have been so insulted! But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and since they have chosen to surrender, they can only endure the humiliation.

Liu Liangzuo listened to Nikan's insults with a pale face, but the soldiers behind him were all angry, and they pressed the hilt of their hands to glare at Nikan who was furious.

Nikan scolded more and more angrily, after this battle, the Mongolian soldiers under his command were killed and wounded more than 500 people, most of them were killed and injured during the riot of the green battalion soldiers, and they couldn't be injured so much in a big battle in the past, which made Nikan not angry!

With a "bang", Nikan raised the horsewhip in his hand and hit Liu Liangzuo on the head. Liu Liangzuo flashed in a hurry, the horsewhip didn't hit his head but hit the arm on the side, the pieces of cloth flew around, and the whole arm was numb.

The continuous sound of drawing knives sounded, and the soldiers behind Liu Liangzuo pulled out their weapons one after another. Seeing this, the Goshkhas behind Nikan also drew their swords, and the air froze all of a sudden.

Just now, countless comrades died tragically under the swords of the Eight Banners, although those people were killed because of chaos, and although they were accustomed to obeying Liu Liangzuo's orders and participated in the suppression, many Green Battalion soldiers were still very uncomfortable in their hearts. If it was yesterday, although they were angry, they wouldn't dare to expose it, but they would still accompany these Eight Banners Masters with smiling faces.

But today, when I saw that even the Eight Banners had no way to take the Ming army that attacked, the invincible combat power of the Eight Banners Army quietly dropped a notch in my heart. When they saw that some accomplices violently attacked the Eight Banners Army, although they were unwilling to participate and did not dare to participate, they praised them in their hearts.

Now Nikan dared to beat Liu Liangzuo, who was their main general, and most of the green battalion soldiers immediately became angry in their hearts, especially Liu Liangzuo's personal soldiers.

With a whip from Liu Liangzuo, Nikan's anger dissipated a lot, but then he fell into panic again.

The green battalion soldiers on the opposite side all glared at themselves with fire in their eyes, Liu Liangzuo's army still had 40,000, what if it was all reversed?

"Guangchangbo, do you want to rebel?" Nikan asked inwardly.

Liu Liangzuo looked back at his subordinates and motioned for them to put down their weapons. Now that you have chosen to surrender, you can't turn back, and you can only endure more humiliation. But when you endure it, you have to tell the other party that I, Liu Liangzuo, am not something that anyone can bully!

"Rebellion? What did you say, Lord Belle! I had just suppressed some of the soldiers who had rioted and driven away the attacking Ming army. It's you, Lord Belle, who killed our soldiers at will, which caused the soldiers to riot, and now you are beating me at will, you should give me an explanation! Liu Liangzuo said with compassion.

"You talk nonsense!" Seeing that Liu Liangzuo actually attributed the reason for the riot of the Green Battalion to himself, Nikan was furious, and subconsciously wanted to raise his horsewhip, but looking at the pair of fire-breathing eyes on the other side, he didn't dare to whip anymore.

The situation in the south soon attracted the attention of Duoduo, the prince of Yu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Nikan and Liu Liangzuo were called to the Qing army camp.

Regarding the dispute between the two, Duoduo was noncommittal. He first pointed at Nikan and scolded him, accusing Nikan of causing heavy losses to the army by using his troops improperly, depriving Nikan of the right to lead the army, and the Mongol soldiers under his command were led by Beizi Doje.

To Liu Liangzuo, Duoduo was warm, praising him for knowing the times and abandoning the secret and turning to the light, and said that he would be the regent and still retain his title of Earl of Guangchang. Then, in the name of Liu Liangzuo's long-term general who is familiar with military affairs, he stayed by his side and listened to it, and Liu Liangzuo's troops were still led by his subordinate generals.

Although his status is still the same as before, Liu Liangzuo knows that his right to command the army has been deprived, and his generals will be directly dispatched by Duoduo in the future and will no longer obey his orders, and his influence in the army will be lower and lower.

After quickly slashing through the chaos of the dispute between Liu Liangzuo and Nikan, Duoduo immediately deployed to attack Yangzhou.

The Ming army's attack out of the city greatly affected the morale of the Qing army, and Duoduo knew that he must attack the city as soon as possible to put pressure on the Ming army in the city, so as to boost the morale of the army.

In view of the fact that the Ming army controlled the canal and attacked along it at every turn, Duoduo set the target of the siege on Xicheng. According to the information sent by the detailed work in the city, the city wall of Xicheng is the weakest, and the head of the city is not guarded by the strong Daishan army. The redcoat cannons will arrive soon, but the dry moat must first be filled in before they can be delivered!

While the Qing army was actively planning to attack the city, the morale of Yangzhou was greatly boosted.

This time, with 3,000 elites, he defeated tens of thousands of Qing troops, and withdrew safely under the siege of the Qing army, rescuing tens of thousands of people by the way, which can be said to be an extremely brilliant victory.

Although not many Qing troops were killed, through this victory, the soldiers and civilians in Yangzhou City knew that the Eight Banners were not really invincible, and the Qing army was by no means invincible. As long as the soldiers and civilians in the city are united, it is still possible to hold Yangzhou.

And other armies that were originally frightened and uneasy, such as the Sichuan soldiers of the general soldier Hu Shangyou, were also calm. In particular, the Sichuan soldiers, who were stationed in Nancheng, witnessed the victory of the Daishan army, which touched them a lot.

Hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city have surrendered to the Manchus, can only the 20,000 troops in the city hold Yangzhou? Most of the city's armies started out in a state of despair, and many were desperate for the future. There were also many people who privately had the idea of taking the opportunity to surrender to the Manchus.

However, the successive victories of the Daishan army made them change their minds, as long as they wanted to defend it, the city could be defended. The Eight Banners are not invincible, and the Qing army is by no means invincible!

In the end, tens of thousands of people were rescued, because Yangzhou was already overcrowded and there was a shortage of food, so these people did not put them in the city, but escorted them across the canal to let them flee for their lives.

A canal separates the Yangzhou area into two halves, and Hedong is still the world of the Ming Dynasty, how can they survive if they escape the canal. And the Daishan army is now in a hurry to defend the city, and it is impossible to distinguish the experience of organizing and placing them. Because according to the movements of the Qing army outside the city, they will soon attack the city again, and the brutal fighting and brutal defense of the city are still to come.
