Except for Meng Qiaofang who ran back to Kaifeng City with 2,000 cavalry, Xuanwuwei's Qing army, a total of more than 10,000 people, was annihilated by the Guards, of which more than 20,000 were captured.

How to defend after the Second Army and the First Corps of the Guards Army occupied Xuanwuwei If it is increased, the difficulty of breaking through the main force of the Qing army will not be mentioned for the time being.

At this time, the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army had also arrived at the Xinghua Camp.

Here is a military fortress from Zhuxian Town to Kaifeng City.

Hong Chengchou also stationed 50,000 soldiers and horses here, and the defenders of this fortress were the Han army's red flag capital.

This person was originally the capital of Wubao in Daming Town, and he was a military attache of the Ming Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty, and he could be regarded as a very old thief in the Qing court.

The Second Corps of the Second Guards Army did not intend to surrender him.

With the help of the local people, the two infantry battalions of the Second Corps of the Guards even unknowingly took a shortcut and directly touched the Xingshan camp, and directly attacked the Xingshan camp at night.

Those who participated in the night attack were the two battalions of Gu Yanwu and Xia Wanchun.

Gu Yanwu took the lead in rushing into the main gate of the Xingshan camp with his infantry battalion, and shot continuously at the Qing army on the gate of the camp, and hundreds of people were killed and wounded at the main gate of the Qing army, and the camp gate was in chaos, Gu Yanwu took advantage of this rush to rush in with six thousand infantry. ‘

For a time, the entire Xingshan camp was on fire everywhere, and the firelight reflected the entire sky.

And Xia Wanchun also broke through the back door with the infantry battalion.

Jin Li hurriedly brought the cavalry to the rescue, but because it was night, the Guards infantry directly scattered and rushed into the camps to kill people and set fires, so that Jin Li did not know how to kill these Guards officers and soldiers.

"That's it, the general trend has gone, the drum is withdrawn, and it can only be reported to Hong Zhongtang, the Xingshan battalion has been attacked, and the number of enemy troops is not less than 10,000!"

In order to preserve his strength and not make fearless sacrifices, Jin Li had to take advantage of the fact that there was no chaos and the enemy situation was unknown, and immediately evacuated the Xingshan camp with 30,000 people who were not in chaos.

At this point, the Second Corps of the Second Army of the Guards Army successfully occupied the Xingshan Camp, and the gate of the main force of Hong Chengchou's Qing Army to the south was blocked!

……

At present, only the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army is still running in the area ruled by the Qing court north of the Yellow River in Henan.

In order to seize the time, Qin Bangping, the deputy commander of the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards, did not care that this was the area ruled by the Qing court, and there would be scouts and transport troops from the Qing court.

When encountering the Qing army that tried to intercept them, the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army went up and beat them directly, these Qing troops were not the main force of the Qing Army, and naturally they did not dare to provoke the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army with 10,000 cavalry.

After the rumbling cannonball, Yangwu County, the general grain transfer station in the rear of the Qing army, was broken by the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army.

Jiao Anmin, the chief grain officer of Yangwu County, the political envoy of Henan Province of the Qing court, and Zhao Guangrui, the deputy chief soldier of the Qing court, were also escorted to Qin Bangping, deputy chief of the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards.

"Master Jun, spare your life, we are all Han Chinese, we have to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, we are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we are willing to make cattle and horses for you, I just ask you to let us go."

Jiao Anmin and Zhao Guangrui kept kowtowing.

"Hurry up, except for the ten-day rations per person, all the rest of the food will be burned, all the captives and demoted officials will be killed, not a single mouth will be left alive, the city gates will be opened, and the people will be allowed to flee!"

Qin Bangping cut off the heads of Jiao Anmin and Zhao Anrui to the ground with a knife, and he didn't care about wiping the blood off his face, so he gave the order directly.

Soon, there was a crackling gunfire in Yangwu County, as well as the wails of the Qing army.

All the 30,000 Qing troops guarding the grain were killed, and all the grain used by the 500,000 Qing army was burned, and the fire burned directly for a day and a night!

At this time, the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army continued to advance rapidly, seizing the Yangjia Ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River on the night of the attack on the Xingshan Camp by the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army, and then crossing the river in the early morning to seize the Sunjia Ferry, and directly destroying hundreds of ships anchored at the Sunjia Ferry by the Qing Army, and annihilating the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Qing Army stationed at the ferry.

The reason why the First Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army was so smooth was also because Hong Chengchou did not expect that the Guards would suddenly appear in his rear and appear north of the Yellow River, so that the Qing army north of the Yellow River and the Qing army guarding the ferry were completely caught off guard.

As everyone knows, the Guards had quietly crossed the river to the north bank of the Yellow River with the help of local fishermen before Hong Chengchou crossed the river.

At this point, the back roads and grain routes of Hong Chengchou and his 500,000 main forces of the Qing army were also cut off.

In this way, Hong Chengchou officially fell into the tight pockets of the two guards and four corps of the Ming Dynasty.

The First Corps of the Second Army occupied Xuanwuwei, captured 20,000 Qing troops, annihilated 10,000 Qing troops, and suffered great losses in Meng Qiaofang's troops.

The Second Corps of the Second Army attacked and occupied the Xingshan camp at night, and the Qing army Jin Li led 30,000 people to withdraw to Kaifeng.

The First Corps of the Third Army occupied Yangwu to kill 30,000 Qing troops, and occupied the Yellow River crossing to kill 10,000 Qing troops, burning down the Qing army's grain route.

Only the Third Army and the Second Corps still trapped Li Guohan and other Qing troops, totaling nearly 50,000 Qing troops in Baliwan.

"Since the Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards Army has trapped nearly 50,000 Qing troops such as Li Guohan, there is no need to let them go back, and they should be eaten directly by taking advantage of this, so as not to break through and join forces with Hong Chengchou's main force at that time, increasing the difficulty of eating this Qing army, and Li Guohan of this Qing army is the son of Li Yongfang, a Manchu honor, Liu Zhiyuan, and Wu Sangui's cousin Zu Zerun, these are the most warlike Manchu Han troops in Liaodong, if you don't eat it at this time, once you and Hong Chengchou's main force are combined, it will be its breakthrough help!"

Qin Liangyu said and looked at Zhu Youzhen: "However, I don't know if the Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards can eat these nearly 50,000 Qing troops, and I don't know if Li Zhitai will have time to transport the heavy ammunition to the Second Corps of the Third Army of the Guards." ”

Affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River, although Kaifeng Mansion at this time is located in the Central Plains, it can also freeze people to death in the severe cold of December, so Zhu Youjian couldn't help but say: "On a snowy day, it was difficult for our people to transport heavy weights in the past, and it was also difficult for the Qing army to break through, now it depends on who can afford it, even if it can't be eaten, there is no way, it's just a big deal to make some effort during the general attack, and now the most important thing is that Xuanwuwei and the Sun family ferry do not have any changes, with the cunning of Hong Chengqing, the old fox, it should not be so easy to enter my hub." ”

"Not only this, but also whether the soldiers and civilians trapped in Kaifeng City can still hold on, they have been besieged for so long, although there is enough food in Kaifeng Mansion, but in this cold weather, the coal and charcoal outside can't get in, and the dead people inside can't get out, so don't have a plague."

Qin Liangyu was saying this, and Lu Jiude interjected: "I don't know if Hong Chengchou will really open the blockade, now it seems that if the slave is Hong Chengchou, it seems that there is little point in opening the seal." ”

Hearing Lu Jiude say this, Zhu Youzhen and Qin Liangyu both nodded, and they both felt that it was impossible for Hong Chengchou not to find signs of his army moving around, but the only thing they could do now was to wait for news.
