Yang Chao has 300,000 mercenaries, under the jurisdiction of eight general soldiers, Xuzhou general soldier Li Wuliu, Suzhou general soldier Wang Pu, Sizhou general soldier Zhao Kang, Fengyang general soldier Zheng Yongwang, Huai'an general soldier Sun Changfu, Taiping general soldier Xie Fei, Huizhou general soldier Lu Mo and many men who hung the title of Yangzhou general soldier and stayed in Nanjing, each total soldier has 30,000, a total of 240,000, except for Hu Quan's 10,000 artillery, the rest are new recruits, and have not been in the battle array.

50,000 is Nanjing's troops, in addition, Taiping Mansion left 20,000, Huizhou also left 20,000, at this time near Nanjing, a total of 90,000.

"50,000 Eight Banners and 150,000 Green Battalion Tun Army Shandong, the old man expected that Yang Chao would not dare to divide the Jianghuai soldiers; Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong's 200,000 troops gathered in western Zhejiang, and the old man expected that Yang Chao could not save him; Bashan's 10,000 elite eight banners are in Xianxialing, and Marquis Zheng is waiting for Bashan to go south to Fujian! ”

Zheng Zhilong scolded in his heart, if it weren't for the Bashan 10,000 Eight Banners suddenly attacked Xianxia Pass, and then plundered Chuzhou and Wenzhou, but didn't go south to Fujian, so that Zheng Zhilong couldn't advance or retreat, he wouldn't have eaten and drunk to serve Hong Chengchou, an old horseman.

10,000 Eight Banners, that is Hong Chengchou's open bow, but the arrow does not shoot.

"But that Yang Chao is brave, I'm afraid he will go south to rescue."

Zheng Zhilong said tentatively, he had already sent a letter asking for help, asking Yang Chao to pull him no matter what, as long as Yang Chao could clean up the 10,000 banners when he went south, Zheng Zhilong would not be afraid.

Now he is still regretting, where is Xianxialing too careless.

There are three passes in Fujian, Xianxia Ridge, Fenshui Pass and Shirt Pass, the three passes can refer to Fujian, because these three passes are almost the only passage in and out of Fujian, and the rest of the place is a continuous mountain range, which is densely covered with primeval forests. Even if someone wants to sneak attack, they have to think about whether they can get out of the mountains.

Among them, Xianxia Pass is the northernmost part, it is the main road of Fujian in and out of Zhejiang and Jiangxi, known as the first-line Xianxia Pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But it is precisely because it is in and out of Zhejiang. And Zhejiang is in the hands of the Ming army itself, so the defense in the direction of Zhejiang has always been lax, and even half of it is guarded by Zhejiang soldiers, but when the Qing army entered western Zhejiang, Hong Chengchou actually persuaded the guards of Xianxia Pass to surrender, which made Fujian open his mind. Face the sharp knife inserted by the Qing army.

"It turns out that Marquis Zheng is waiting for Yang Chao's rescue. The old man expected that Yang Chaobing would not be able to stay in Hangzhou! Maybe soon Marquis Zheng will receive the news of Yang Chao's withdrawal. ”

Hong Chengchou said confidently.

Zheng Zhilong was puzzled: "Uncle Yang also has a lot of understanding below, and he is by no means a person who is afraid of the enemy. ”

Hong Chengchou chuckled and said, "Marquis Zheng doesn't know anything." I, the king of Sanshun in the Qing Dynasty, have already gone south, and I should have entered Nanjing at this moment. ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but be stunned: "King Sanshun? Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming monk is gratifying! ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "It's the Three Kings!" The three kings led an army of 40,000, all of whom were elite soldiers who had fought for a long time. The combat power is not inferior to the Eight Banners powerhouse. The old man expected that Yang Chao would be too busy to take care of himself, so could he really rescue Marquis Zheng? ”

Zheng Zhilong couldn't help but fall off the chair, these three kings are the only Han princes of the Manchu Dynasty, and now there is only one more Wu Sangui, but the three of them have not been reused after entering the customs, and have been pressed in Liaodong, I didn't expect to be sent to Jiangnan at this time, and the first time I made a sneak attack on Nanjing.

"Uncle Yang has thirty troops."

Zheng Zhilong finally said.

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Why does Marquis Zheng ask knowingly. Yang Chao had an army of 300,000. I have an army of 800,000 in the Qing Dynasty. But even if there is an army of millions, he has not a single soldier to help Fujian, but I have 10,000 strong troops to fight with. ”

Nanking.

Yang Chao couldn't help but be taken aback when he received the news. Lü Mo was defeated one after another, first suddenly there was a green camp of the Qing army in Fuliang County, and Lü Mo sent people to fight, but he was beaten very badly.

The green camp of the Qing army advanced by land and water, in fact, Yang Chao also deployed a naval army in Fuliang, and there was the water of the Changjiang River outside Fuliang County that could pass through Huizhou. It has always been Yang Chao's sailors who have pressed the Qing army's sailors, but I didn't expect this Qing army sailors to be extremely brave. Unexpectedly, Yang Chao's army was defeated in one battle, and the navy army was completely annihilated under Fuliang City in World War II. Then tens of thousands of troops stormed Fuliang, and in one day, the deputy general who defended here was killed.

The Qing army then invaded Huizhou, also advancing by land and water, and Lü Mo first fought in Qimen, and fought in Xiuning, both battles were won, Lü Mo knew that Yang Chao had no soldiers, and he did not ask for help but just ask for guilt.

"Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi? These three traitors! ”

Lu Mo had already heard clearly, the other party was under the banner of these three people, not an ordinary green battalion soldier, but the Eight Banners Han Army.

Of course Yang Chao has heard of the names of these three traitors, and these three people are big traitors with the same name as Wu Sangui.

The Han soldiers under the three of them have been in battle for a long time, and they are not lost to the elite of the Eight Banners in terms of combat strength or discipline.

The three of them were originally under the command of Mao Wenlong of the Dongjiang Army, after Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the three of them first insisted for a period of time, Kong Youde also went to Shandong to be an official for a period of time, and at that time, Sun Yuanhua, a scientist in Shandong, was attached to the cannon to kill the enemy, and invited Portuguese cannon casting workers from Macao, cast a large number of artillery, and also trained a large number of cannon craftsmen and artillerymen.

Kong Youde was short of pay and food in Shandong, and finally was ordered to go to Liaodong to reinforce Zu Dashou, but the soldiers mutinied, Kong Youde was also angry, and he had not married a daughter-in-law in his forties, so he simply reversed, and made trouble in Shandong for half a year, and finally the Ming army mobilized the Guanning army to suppress, Kong Youde took the boat and crossed the sea to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and surrendered his two brothers Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, all three of whom were named kings.

After the three of them surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they brought the technology and artillery to the Qing army, and then participated in almost all the battles of the Qing army under Huang Taiji, and each of them had two or three thousand soldiers who fought for more than ten years.

However, after the death of Huang Taiji, Dolgon obviously did not have the mind of Huang Taiji and did not boldly use the courage of the Han people, so after entering the customs and eliminating Li Zicheng, these three people were basically idle, and they were honestly stationed in Liaodong with their headquarters soldiers and horses.

Who knew that it would suddenly be transferred out at this time, and there were 40,000 mercenaries, and they were killing Yang Chao with great momentum.

"It looks like it's planning to attack Ningguofu, and then attack many men's departments in the north and south."

Yang Chao looked at the direction of King Sanshun's march from the map, and the capture of Huizhou and Taiping Mansion was equivalent to cutting off the connection between Yanzhou and Jinhua and Nanzhili, and Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong could besiege many of the main male forces that entered this generation, Lu Mo and Xie Fei.

"Order Lu Mo. Defend Huizhou, even if you fight to the point of a soldier, you will never give up Huizhou! ”

Yang Chao could not let the army of King Sanshun attack them from the rear of many of the men's troops who had already entered Zhejiang, so he could not abandon Huizhou.

But as soon as the order was issued for half a day, it suddenly came that the vanguard of King Sanshun had entered the Ning Kingdom. surrounded the city of Ningguofu.

Early in the morning of the second day, I entered Guangde Mansion, gave up the city and did not fight, and approached Jianping County!

"These three traitors don't want to fight Zhejiang! This is trying to pierce Lao Tzu's heart! ”

Yang Chao only reacted at this time, it turned out that the real purpose of the other party was Nanjing City. What a big appetite, what a big stroke.

However, the king of Sanshun left Shang Kexi, who was good at war, 10,000 people to intercept 20,000 people at the end of Lu in Huizhou, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming entered the empty Ningguo Mansion, and then put a small number of troops to monitor Ningguo, and then galloped to Guangde Mansion. has arrived in Jianping, and the next step is to enter Yingtianfu.

Their forces to attack Nanking will not exceed 30,000 men!

"This is Hong Chengchou's big deal, but he has a great appetite and a lot of courage, but he is too underestimated of Lao Tzu. 30,000 people want to attack the city of Nanjing? Although there are only 50,000 recruits in Nanjing, these traitors are not something that these traitors can underestimate. ”

"Someone is coming, send an order to the Xie Fei Department of the Taiping Mansion, and the whole army will set off. Galloped along Shijiu Lake to aid Guangde Mansion, and then marched in the direction of Ningguo and Huizhou, and annihilated Shang Kexi in Huizhou together with Lu Mo! ”

Since Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming want to hit Nanjing's attention. Yang Chao gave them the opportunity to come to Nanjing, and then asked Xie Fei to attack from the Taiping Mansion to cut off their back road.

"Ordered many men to leave 10,000 troops to defend Hangzhou, and the main force immediately returned to help and entered Guangde Mansion from Hangzhou. Advance towards the city of Nanjing, and encircle and annihilate Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming with the defenders of Nanjing! ”

"I want to stab Lao Tzu's heart. If you want to play the decapitation operation, you can see if you have the ability! ”

Quanzhou. Nam An Province.

"How? Yang Chao withdrew his troops. However, it was already too late, and the army of King Sanshun was afraid that it had already entered Nanjing City at this time. ”

"Lord Hong is so sure?"

Zheng Zhilong did receive that many men from Yang Chao's department had sent their main forces back to help, and the other two departments also stopped advancing, with Lu Mo's department advancing to Yanzhou Mansion and Xie Fei's department advancing to Jinhua Mansion.

Although Jin Shenghuan and Wang Tizhong were repelled by the Ming army, the main force still existed, and there were more than 180,000 soldiers.

"Hahahaha, Hou Ye Zheng still can't understand it. Yang Chao will lose this battle. ”

Hong Chengchou was not in a hurry to persuade Zheng Zhilong to surrender, and still gave him an analysis in a hurry, as if he didn't care at all whether Zheng Zhilong surrendered this morning.

Zheng Zhilong still had doubts: "Then Azig and Haoge both attacked Nanjing, and it was much more dangerous at that time than today. ”

Hong Chengchou said: "This time is different from the past. Azig was already exhausted, and Haug was besieged by more than 100,000 elite soldiers of Yang Chao. Today, Yang Chao only has 50,000 recruits in Nanjing, and the entire Jiangnan war is a big war, Yang Chao is just a cutting-edge general, may not be able to cope with this situation, if the military order changes overnight, I am afraid that not only can not save Nanjing, but collapse! ”

Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, although Uncle Yang is young, he is old. ”

Speaking of which, Zheng Zhilong still believes in Yang Chao a little more at this time, after all, Yang Chao has created too many miracles.

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Marquis Zheng is not in a hurry, wait for the news to come from Nanjing, the old man guesses that Marquis Zheng has eyes and ears in Nanjing." ”

Zheng Zhilong naturally has eyes and ears in Nanjing, and there are hundreds of carrier pigeons, and soon a few pigeons flew back to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong was shocked when he saw it, couldn't wait to freshen up, and ran to Hong Chengchou's house in a pair of pajamas.

"Lord Hong, I have thought clearly below, and I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light and conform to the destiny of heaven!"

Hong Chengchou had been waiting for a long time, and he still felt that it was a little late.

"Haha, Marquis Zheng, Nanjing City is broken."

Hong Chengchou doesn't have an intelligence system, he relies on speculation.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong saw that he couldn't hide from Hong Chengchou, he honestly admitted that his spies in Nanjing reported that the Qing army had entered Nanjing City, and the Nanjing City that Azig and Haoge had never touched before, actually let King Sanshun attack it. (To be continued)
