Chapter 671: Captured Alive

If Azig can be captured alive for Zheng Sen, not only can he make a great military achievement, but also bring a different political significance to Liangguang, a Manchu prince was captured alive, which can be said to be the first time since entering the customs.

It has always been the Eight Banners that swept the world and beat everyone else's, and now one of their princes is besieged in the middle and cannot be unsettled, which will shake the Manchu dominance in the north and give a reminder to those who have not yet made a decision that the Eight Banners may not be the most powerful troops.

You see, they were defeated one day, and now they are defeated.

Although Azig has not yet formally surrendered, he is not far from defeat. In order to crush him, Australia dropped another battalion of men from Hong Kong to join the frontal battle, which was simply sour for the devastated Azig.

And the Hauge army he was waiting for was delayed at this time, which also made him fall into despair even more, now there was no choice at all, the enemy did not want him to retreat, blocked the back road, and at the same time trapped him here, obviously to trap him here.

If nothing else, he may not really be able to get out, with bombs constantly dropping overhead, and a frontal attack from ASM on the ground, Azig can hardly be said to have any advantage.

Under this premise, it is almost impossible to break through to the possibility of success.

Zheng Sen and Qiao Yan's troops were closing the battle line, forming an encirclement with the frontal attacking troops.

And Dolgon in the Forbidden City already knew that Azig was besieged at this time, and now he is in a hurry like an ant on a hot pot, requisitioning troops from all over the country to prepare for rescue, and ordering the nearest troops to start a siege with Azigriwai.

But where does the nearby green battalion have the courage at this time, the attack on the sky and the earth in Australia, after some intentional propaganda, has become a myth, what Australians have the ability to fly. Drop something that constantly explodes from above, and you dare to attack.

No one responded to Dolgon, he wanted Haoge to end the war in Zhejiang as soon as possible, but at this time, Haoge was also dragged by the old forces of King Lu in Zhejiang and could not be turbulent, and if he wanted to successfully break through to rescue Azig, I am afraid that it was a little too late in time.

At the same time that Dolgon gave the order, He Yu also gave the order for a general attack, ordering all the troops to end the war in three days, and to move quickly in the direction of Fujian, in an effort to end his main force before Hauge reached Quanzhou.

Fight quickly and take advantage of the interludes when the enemy's forces are scattered. Destroying all his main forces and quickly recovering the land south of the Yangtze River is a strategy formulated by the Expeditionary Force Command, and at the same time, five warships of the Navy have sailed into the Yangtze River to block the Eight Banners who are trying to rescue them south.

This war cannot be fought for too long, no one can afford to drag it off for too long, Australia cannot afford to drag it out, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty is the same, once the war continues, it will not end. Then most of their troops will be contained here, and there will be no turmoil, not to mention that there is still an East China column formed in the north.

It can be said that the East China Column dealt a severe blow to the Manchus, a small force formed by guerrillas from all over the country. In terms of tactics, guerrilla techniques are used, often fighting more and fighting less, and they disappear immediately after encountering the main force.

This is one of the main reasons why there is no way to take them, if they have a fixed city as a base. Then the Eight Banners Army can solve it well, but the key is that they have no fixed point, which brings difficulty to the operation.

At present, the troops heading south are almost gone, and there is almost no return. If the main force of Azig cannot be measured, Dorgon's power within the Manchu court will also be greatly affected, but at the same time, in this case, Hauge's troops will also be greatly affected, otherwise Dolgon's accumulation over the years is actually very powerful against others.

Azig has been successfully surrounded, as long as he is captured alive, it is not a dream to be promoted and get rich, the brothers are all cheering up, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, it depends on this time.

In the new barracks, the captains of their respective squads were all saying the same thing, and they had received orders to capture Azig alive.

Azig is too important to Liangguang, as long as he is captured alive, those green battalion soldiers on the periphery will even surrender directly, although Liangguang is not optimistic about these green battalion soldiers, but considering the current environment, in fact, such a large number of soldiers are still needed to maintain local law and order.

This war will determine who controls the south of the Yangtze River, as long as the south of the Yangtze River is controlled, there will be the capital to recover the north in the future, this is what the language and the Australian government gave to the two Guangzhou.

Of course, without the participation of the Australians in the Northern Campaign, Shen Youlong did not dare to launch it, after all, the number of new troops under his command was more than 20,000 people, the north was so big, he wanted to recover such a large area of land without soldiers, the best way is to expand the army at this time, and the expansion of the army is very necessary for the two Guangzhous.

However, the expansion of the army also requires a large amount of military spending, and the Australians have drawn up a complete plan for the expansion of the army, and this plan is to be implemented step by step, do not be in a hurry for a while, and develop the economy first; only when the economy develops can there be money to expand the army, and it is empty talk if there is no money to expand the army.

Shen Youlong accepted the suggestion, after all, the current finances of Liangguang are very tight, and it is actually difficult to win the war of reconquest against the north at this time, and the grain and grass alone do not have this ability.

In any case, the main task at present is to defeat Azig, and Azig is constantly trying to break through in order to make the final struggle, especially at night, his breakthrough action is even more extreme, but the Australian army, which is good at night fighting, how can they break through successfully.

It won't be long before Azig's troops run out of food, and then they won't have to fight at all, and they will collapse internally, but the expeditionary force must quickly end the battle, and once Hauge's army attacks, then he will definitely urge the hundreds of thousands of green battalions on the periphery to attack, and then the situation will be very passive.

At this time, it can be said that the fight is the advantage of time, and in the case of the advantage, the battle must be ended as quickly as possible.

In the evening, Zheng Sen personally led the team to launch a war of annihilation against Azig, under the cover of Qiao Xian's troops, Zheng Sen successfully broke through the defense line set up by Azig and entered his camp, and successfully captured Azig, the famous general in the history of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will be rewritten from then on, when he saw the new army rushing into the camp, Azig thought of his next fate.
