The raindrops crackled on the canopy, although the carriage was cramped, it was already a special care for Zhu Yongxing, a royal family member of the clan. The troops who were withdrawn from the Namsai Mansion were either dressed in garments or tarpaulin, and had to trek through the rain.

However, it was much easier than when defending the position, and the temperature was not as cold as it was in the mountains. There are also villages along the way where you can take a break, hot soup and hot rice, and the body is heavy and warm. Under the propaganda and coercion of the Ming army, and the fierce influence of the Qing army itself, the residents of the villages are dragging their families and carrying their burdens, and fleeing into the mountains and forests in the rain. Although the environment is harsh, compared to the butcher's knife and poison of the Qing army, people can obviously tolerate the former.

Breaking the road and harassing the wall, fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness, these are the two major tricks to deal with the pursuing Qing army, so that even if it reaches the flat ground, it will face hardships.

The carriage shifted again, and jolted a few times. Zhu Yongxing lifted the curtain and saw another sentry shed, where three or five Ming troops were commanding, avoiding the potholes that had been dug on the road. The potholes have been flooded with stagnant water, and without indication, they are difficult to distinguish.

The big pit sets the small pit, the small pit sets the old pit, there is still water in the pit, and the water is ...... Not only is it difficult for vehicles to travel, but even if you walk or ride a horse, you will have to break your foot or break your horse's leg if you don't get it right. For the convenience of one's own people, either on the left or on the right, there will be an unspoiled road, and you can pass safely according to the instructions on the side of the road or the guidance of the sentry shelter.

Breaking roads, tunnels, and mines used to be the three major tricks to deal with Japanese devils, but now they were first used by Zhu Yongxing. It is very interesting and intriguing, and Zhu Yongxing feels a little ridiculous whenever he thinks that later scholars use the viewpoint of "transcending history" and "national integration" to explain the Yuan Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Some histories are not meant to be transcended, but to be reflective and vigilant.

The Qing army occupied Yunnan, but only occupied the important places in the big city, and most of them were within the three rivers, which divided the remnants of the Ming army at the same time, but also caused the dispersion of troops. Outside the three rivers, there are many toasts, and the border is deserted and remote, but it is not impossible to recuperate and accumulate strength. or harass, or contain, as long as the main force of the Qing army is dragged in Yunnan, Guangxi can take advantage of the situation to attack and plunder.

Regardless of whether Tengchong wins or loses, marching towards Annam is an action that must be implemented. On the way, he should probably have a meeting with King Li Jin, and tell him frankly about his strategic plans, hoping that he and Bai Wenxuan can take active action in Yunnan and effectively contain Wu Sangui. Well, he should take advantage of the meeting to ask Guangguo Gonghe Jiuyi to come over, and say that he is familiar with the situation in Guangxi, and he can help himself as a staff officer.

In this way, He Jiuyi was not only spared the fate of being killed by the rod, but also indirectly saved the more than 10,000 soldiers he brought back from Guangxi. With so many men and horses, I hope that King Li Jin can pick up his ambitions again and deal with the Qing army in Yunnan Province.

Who to take to Annam? Zhu Yongxing wrote a few names on the paper at random, fiddled with the pen holder, and fell into deep thought.

……………

The soldiers of the Ganshan Green Battalion blocked the battlefield, and the line Guoan only boarded the Nansai Mansion at dawn the next day, twisting the ashes left over from the Ming army's burning, and let out a disdainful sneer.

Daniel Zhang, Daniel Zhang, can you hide me from such nonsense? Where is the bloody battle of the Ganshan Green Battalion and the natural danger, it is simply that the Ming army retreated on its own, but you were lucky enough to learn about it first.

However, the line Guoan also knew that this was not the time to completely turn against Daniel Zhang at this time, and with the current strength of the two of them, they would have a chance to win if they advanced together, and they might face danger if they advanced alone. As for the Ming army suddenly abandoning the danger and retreating, the line Guoan was also vigilant and quite puzzled.

Is it really that the Ming army is already difficult to support, or is there another conspiracy? I had been thinking about breaking through the danger and defeating the Ming army, but the danger was delivered to my hands all at once, but it made people suspicious. marching into the army, I am afraid of accidents; retreated, and he was really unwilling.

Daniel Zhang, like Line Guoan, is also in a dilemma. Stretching his own grain routes, and then breaking off and then fighting, this is how he judged the reason for the retreat of the Ming army. Although the post road in the mountains is opened, the road is difficult to travel, and the loss along the way is great, and the water of the Nu River is rising, which has brought great difficulties to the transportation across the river, and many ships have capsized in the rapids. If you continue to advance, in order to protect the grain road, you have to divide troops along the way, how many soldiers can you fight in Tengchong?

Even if the troops that arrived at Tengchong were still stronger than the Ming army, they could be stopped under the fortified city, and there would be a lack of battle for a long time. The army was already in the mountains and forests, exhausted under the heavy rain, and many soldiers were sick and wounded. At the end of the strong crossbow, it is impossible to wear Lu Min. How could he not understand this truth?

Alas, I didn't expect that everything has gone wrong since I left the school, and now I don't have the momentum that swept Yunnan and Guizhou at the beginning. Inspired by the puppet clan's entry into Yunnan and the stay of the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty seemed to have regained their fighting spirit. Daniel Zhang did not know very well that although the current Nanming army looked dilapidated, there was actually no shortage of soldiers who could fight habitually. Fighting, retreating, trekking, this is also a kind of survival of the fittest, although cruel, but can persevere, it is bound to be more tenacious in physical strength and will.

Judging from historical data, the Qing army was able to occupy the hinterland of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces with relative success, including Guizhou and Kunming, not because of the devastating blow to the Southern Ming army. Although the Ming army lost some soldiers and generals in the process of blocking, a large number of main forces were not annihilated by the Qing army. The main reason for the defeat of the Ming army on the whole line was the improper strategic deployment, and the Yongli Emperor fled into Burma in a hurry, and Li Dingguo led his troops to the southern Yunnan border area after the Battle of Mopanshan, which caused the Southern Ming civil officials and military generals scattered in the southwest to lose their leadership core, and finally lost the confidence to persevere.

Although Daniel Zhang and Line Guoan deepened their suspicions, the breakthrough of Nansai Public Housing more or less alleviated the antagonism between the two. If you join forces, you will be strong, and if you divide them, you will be weak, and this kind of helpless and weak alliance is bound to be maintained.

When the scout sent the news back, the two of them muttered even more. It was said that it was a lure to the enemy, but the Ming army seriously damaged the road, similar to Zhang Fei's demolition of the bridge, as if he was afraid that they would continue to pursue, which can also be said to be a sign of cowardice and fear; But if you want to say that you are retreating in a hurry, how can you have such energy to do such a thing? What a paradoxical and puzzling tactical set-up.

The gate across Gaoligong Mountain has been opened, but there is a dilemma, which is really a bit ironic. What is the purpose of the crazy attack, what is the purpose of the corpses all over the field, since the goal has been achieved, but here the eyes are wide and uncertain. Obviously, no one wants to bear the charge of fearing the enemy.

Advance steadily, step by step, and do not give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. After repeated discussions, Line Guoan and Daniel Zhang finally chose a more secure tactic.
