Chapter 326: Those who are remnants of the people will be killed!
Seeing that the left army was completely routed and fled, Ren Siqi naturally did not want to let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and immediately gave the order to the infantry stationed on the south bank to pursue along the river bank. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Jin Yufei and Ren Xingfan received the order, they immediately led the army out of the camp and went upstream along the river bank to kill.
At this moment, Huang Degong's army, which was in the rear of the Daishan army, was in extreme shock, and the generals of Huang Degong's army, who had just laughed at Ren Siqi's inability to use soldiers, grew their mouths one by one, and looked at the battlefield in the distance incredulously. It was only an hour's effort, and the Daishan Army had already defeated the entire left army. The thunderous bombardment of the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Daishan Army was still ringing in their ears, and so many artillery pieces were actually moved to the ship, which made the generals of Huang Degong's army feel incredible.
Artillery was very common in the Ming army, but they never thought that they could place it on a warship. Because ordinary warships can't stand the vibration of artillery fire, but there are a lot of firearms used on ships, but the range of that thing is short, not to mention, it is easy to explode, and not many soldiers are willing to use it.
Unlike his generals, Jingnan Hou Huang Degong always paid attention to the changes in the battlefield situation, and he planned to immediately send his warships to support when the Daishan army could not stand it. But he didn't expect the victory of the Daishan army to come so quickly, and seeing that the left army had been defeated, Huang Degong immediately ordered the infantry on the north bank to pursue along the river bank. After receiving Huang Degong's order, the general soldiers and horses Degong and Tian Xiong immediately led the soldiers and horses of their headquarters to kill upstream.
As for the waterway, because the Daishan army and navy had already achieved complete victory, if the fleet was sent to pursue at this time, it would be tantamount to grabbing merit, so Huang Degong suppressed Li Shun and other generals who were eager to try, and ordered all ships not to pursue.
On the deck of the "Princess", Shen Tingyang was still in shock. In one hour, only one short hour, nearly 1,000 warships of Zuo Liangyu's 30,000 naval army were defeated by the Daishan army, and the whole army fled.
This Daishan army has such combat power! At this moment, Shen Tingyang's heart was extremely hot, and the whole person was in extreme excitement. At the invitation of Ren Siqi, Shen Tingyang came to the Daishan Army, and if he really wanted what Ren Siqi said, if Liu Zeqing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he would recall the soldiers he had recruited when he faced Liu Zeqing one day.
The reason why Shen Tingyang did not get off the ship when he was in Zhenjiang and Nanjing, but stayed on the Daishan military ship, was because he had long been desperate for the imperial court. On the contrary, he was very interested in the vigorous Daishan Army and the group of young generals in the Daishan Army. Most of the imperial army's army was already corrupt, while the Daishan Army was alone overseas, and the atmosphere in its formation was very different from that of other imperial armies. If it were another day, Shen Tingyang would definitely be wary of this army with a different style and suspect that Ren Siqi had bad intentions, but now, Shen Tingyang felt that if there was an army that could defeat the Manchus one day, it must be the Daishan army!
And today's victory of the Daishan army against the Zuo Liangyu army also verifies this.
Unlike Shen Tingyang, although Ren Siqi was also excited about the victory, he was not to the point of getting carried away. In Ren Siqi's view, the victory achieved by fighting with other Ming soldiers is not worth boasting about at all.
And it's important to think about what to do next. Zuo Liangyu's vanguard army has been repulsed, so will the left army continue to attack down the river or will it be stationed in Anqing? As for himself, will the whole army go against the current and join Huang Degong's army to completely defeat Zuo Liangyu's army, or will he return to Nanjing and wait for an opportunity to reinforce Yangzhou?
Eyes on the battlefield? Ren Siqi was thinking about things outside the battlefield, and at this moment, his heart was chaotic, and he only felt that there was a fog in front of him.
It only took an hour to defeat Li Guoying's army, but the subsequent pursuit took a lot of effort.
Mao 18 led more than 300 warships upstream, leaving most of the ships of the Left Army, but still let more than 200 escape. Others were either burned or surrendered to the Daishan army.
Of the 30,000 soldiers of the Left Army, more than 5,000 were captured, more than 10,000 were killed or drowned in the river, and the rest fled to the riverbank, and then they would face the pursuit of the Daishan Army and the infantry of Huang Degong's army along the riverbank.
The 20,000 infantry troops of Li Guoying's army walking along the river bank had not yet reached the Tongling battlefield, and the naval army had already been defeated, and when they saw their accomplices fleeing to the river bank, the infantry panicked, and the result of the panic was to immediately turn around and flee.
Li Guoying, the chief soldier who fled to the infantry army, tried his best to control the troops, but he still couldn't stop the panic of the troops, and he couldn't even kill people.
Just when Li Guoying tried to regain control of the army, the infantry of the Daishan Army had already caught up, but it was just a round of musket fire, and Li Guoying's infantry was immediately in chaos. As the so-called defeat is like a mountain, Li Guoying, who is still trying his best to howl, was caught by his own soldiers and involuntarily fled along the army.
Battalion Zheng Chen Mingyang immediately noticed that this group of left troops was obviously different from other infantry, because their weapons were completely different from ordinary soldiers, this group of left army was so well equipped, almost everyone was wearing armor, and the worst one was also wearing leather armor outside the mandarin duck battle jacket, it must be a big man! So Chen Mingyang immediately led his battalion of soldiers to desperately chase after Li Guoying's own soldiers.
Li Guoying fled with his 600 personal soldiers, not daring to take the riverside road, and took the rugged and difficult path, but the group of pursuers behind him chased like maggots on tarsal bones. To say that the pro-soldiers are still different from other ordinary soldiers, seeing that they can't get rid of the enemy, a pro-soldier general immediately took the initiative to stay behind and cut off, so as to give Li Guoying time to escape.
However, with the sound of gunshots, the general and the 100 soldiers he led were knocked down before they could engage the enemy, and the remaining ten people were instantly drowned in the enemy's gun array.
The road to escape was so difficult, Li Guoying watched his subordinates stay behind, but they couldn't stop too much time. In the end, there were only about 50 people left in Li Guoying's personal soldiers.
"General! I can't follow you anymore! Take care! The pro-soldiers knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Guoying, and when they stood up, they were about to turn over and kill back with the last fifty pro-soldiers, so as to give Li Guoying the last time to escape.
"Li Ming," Li Guoying grabbed his arm and said with a miserable smile: "Forget it, don't let the brothers die again, let's surrender!" ”
After listening to Li Guoying's words, the remaining fifty pro-soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. Although it is said that they are treated well by Li Guoying on weekdays, this is the time to sell their lives, but if they can not die, no one wants to die!
Chen Mingyang and his subordinates surrounded him, and Li Guoying's subordinates threw down their weapons one after another.
"I am Li Guoying, the chief soldier under the command of the Marquis of Ningnan, we have surrendered, please spare my brother's life." Li Guoying came to Chen Mingyang with a sword in his hand.
took the sword and glanced at Li Guoying contemptuously, Chen Mingyang waved his hand, muskets rang out, and Li Guoying's fifty personal soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
"You, you bastard! We've already surrendered, why are you killing them? Li Guoying's eyes were red, and he howled and threw himself at Chen Mingyang, but was kicked to the ground.
"For the remnants of the army, my Daishan army will not be forgiven! As for you, leave it to our generals to convict! (To be continued.) )
