(PS: One more more, thank you again for the generosity of the "Bai Bai Sun God".) ）

Early in the morning, Jianye.

When the darkness cleared and dawn fell, and looking at the hellish battlefield outside the city, people really felt how tragic the battle was last night.

At the request of Emperor Hongguang, the surrendered Qing troops were also publicly executed.

In the eastern suburbs outside the city, the camp of the former Qing Army's Duoduo Department was razed to the ground overnight, with corpses all over the field, war horses neighing, and black smoke curling, which only increased the desolation and tragedy.

There are vultures hovering in the air, and wild dogs roaming the ground.

The corpses exposed to the eyes of the predators were not only those of the Qing army, but also those of the Great Xia Forbidden Army and the soldiers of the Southern Ming Army. After all, it was a night battle, and it was in an unfamiliar camp, and casualties were inevitable.

The Qing army is not a soft persimmon.

If there was no Shenwu Wei to open the way, the Great Xia Janissaries would have been in the town, and the battle last night would have been unpredictable. Duoduo's response was also timely, but in the end, his strength was not good, and he finally failed miserably and lost his life.

Especially in the north.

In the face of the onslaught of the Abatai tribe, the troops defending the walls also suffered heavy casualties. On several occasions, the Qing army had already rushed to the head of the city, almost tearing through the defense line of the Southern Ming army.

Fortunately, with Li Jing in charge, this turned the danger into a disaster.

If the Duoduo had not been defeated so early, it would have been a dangerous event that the Abatai had entered the city.

Looking at the purgatory-like battlefield outside the city, the soldiers of the Southern Ming Army who survived the catastrophe secretly rejoiced and were not without pride. The enemy's accumulated bones are their best medal of merit.

In the morning, Emperor Hongguang personally presided over the cremation ceremony of the fallen soldiers, which further boosted morale. After the ceremony, Emperor Hongguang rewarded the meritorious people in a big way, and the scene was extremely lively.

Regarding Emperor Hongguang's move to buy people's hearts, Ouyang Shuo just smiled slightly and did not intervene.

In the final analysis, Ouyang Shuo is just a passerby of the battle map, not the real protagonist, so Ouyang Shuo naturally has no need to compete with Emperor Hongguang.

If it is placed in the real historical background, a regent like Ouyang Shuo will not end well in the end. Even if you can live a good life, you will be in trouble after death.

Dolgon is a prime example.

This auxiliary minister who entered the Central Plains for the Qing Dynasty, ruled the world, and made great military achievements, enjoyed great glory during his lifetime, and was successively named his uncle's regent, the emperor's uncle's regent, and the emperor's father's regent.

But just two months after Dolgon's death, Emperor Shunzhi stripped Dolgon of his title and dug up his grave.

As for the moment, Ouyang Shuo can laugh at it.

…………

In the afternoon of the same day, the remnants of the 60,000 Dashun army rushed to the outside of Jianye City.

On the way here, they had already learned that the main force of the Qing army had been annihilated under Jianye City, so they accelerated their march to get a glimpse of what was going on. Originally, they were still a little skeptical about this news, because they had fought with the Qing army and knew that the Qing army was powerful. When I saw the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned up, I was convinced.

"Amazing!"

The soldiers of the Dashun army were amazed, and their expressions were extremely happy. Because of the fall of Dashun and the death of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, they were already mortal enemies with the Qing army.

After learning the details of last night's battle from the mouth of the Nanming army, the generals of the Dashun Army, who were originally a little unruly, suddenly became extremely well-behaved, and they were only in awe of Ouyang Shuo and his party.

Looking at the gaze of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, he was also full of fear.

"Lord Regent, please command, we have nothing to say." The generals patted their chests and promised.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, not taking it all seriously.

The Dashun army, which once crisscrossed the territory of the Ming Dynasty, faced the encirclement and suppression of the Qing army, but it was declared destroyed in half a year, among which there were certainly reasons for the accidental death of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, the most important thing was the problem of the Dashun army itself.

After the capture of Yanjing, the narrow-mindedness and backwardness of this peasant rebel army began to be exposed. Vices such as decay and greed for pleasure began to spread among the army, constantly corroding this army.

Habits are hard to change.

Even if what they say now is beautiful, how can Ouyang Shuo be gullible.

Fortunately, Ouyang Shuo is not fighting alone, behind him, there is also a luxurious command team. Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and introduced Li Jing to the generals of the Dashun Army.

The two sides have already been in contact, and this time it can be regarded as a formal establishment of the subordinate relationship between the upper and lower levels.

The name of the Tang Army God, in the eyes of this group of rebel generals, is still very weighty. Otherwise, as soon as Li Jing came out, the Dashun army agreed to come to converge.

After the meeting, the next step was naturally to go north.

In order to stabilize the situation, Ouyang Shuo, the regent, had to personally sit in Jianye for the time being.

Early tomorrow morning, Li Jing will lead a coalition army composed of 35,000 Great Xia Janissary Guards, more than 30,000 Southern Ming troops, and 60,000 Great Shun troops, totaling 125,000, to the north.

The primary goal is to recover the city of Yangzhou.

During the Qing army's attack on Jianye, Guo Ziyi's troops also won successive battles in the Huaihe region, not only successfully recovering Huai'an and Tongzhou, but also subduing the Gao Jie Department in the four towns of Jiangbei in one fell swoop.

The remaining Huang Degong and Liu Zeqing, after learning of the fall of the Duoduo Ministry, did not think that they would resist fearlessly. Ouyang Shuo believes that Guo Ziyi can control the army of the three towns in Jiangbei well.

The army of the four towns in Jiangbei has an average of about 50,000 soldiers in each town. After several small battles, the three towns in Jiangbei have more or less some battle losses, but the main force still exists.

In this way, even without the cooperation of Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army, the total number of troops in the Ming Dynasty camp will reach about 400,000. With such a vast army, it is enough to kill Yanjing and regain the lost territory.

…………

The tenth day of the campaign.

Abatai led the remnants of the army, day and night, and finally fled back to Yangzhou City in embarrassment.

Of the 150,000 troops at the time of the expedition, less than 50,000 actually escaped back, and the rest were all buried on the battlefield of Jianye, and even Duoduo, the main general of the Southern Expedition, was captured and killed.

This was undoubtedly a major blow to the Qing army, which had won successive battles, and the whole team was dejected, disgraced, and no longer had the high spirit when they set off.

Di Chen, who was guarding Yangzhou, received the news as early as a day ago, although he had expected it, but Di Chen was still very shocked to learn that the Qing army had been defeated so far.

Empathy.

If the 100,000 Great Zhou Army was guarding Jianye, I am afraid that it would not be able to achieve such brilliant results.

"The god of war, Li Jing?"

A trace of longing flashed in Di Chen's eyes, and there was even more jealousy that could not be concealed. He was jealous of why a famous god general had thrown himself under the command of Great Xia and could not be used by him.

Among the top ten famous generals in China, only Daxia swept Sun Wu, Bai Qi, Han Xin, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing and Li Mu, and then counted Wang Jian of Daqin, Wei Qing of Dahan, and Xu Da, who was not born.

The real god general of the Great Zhou Dynasty is only Wu Qi. Even so, Wu Qi can't really be used by Emperor Chen, but he is loyal to the hero.

The only person that Emperor Chen can really trust and rely on is Lian Po alone.

How could this not make Emperor Chen jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, Di Chen has not lost his mind after all, and the question in front of him now is, how should he choose?

Of course, Emperor Chen can lead his troops away and get rid of the quagmire of war.

But Dichen was unwilling to go for nothing like this, not to mention letting Ouyang Shuo take advantage of it, not only did he not get anything, but it was also inconsistent with the original intention of taking the opportunity to establish friendship with the Qing Dynasty.

If he just stays and continues to fight, what is his chance of winning?

Yangzhou City must not be able to defend, only immediately retreat to the north, after Dolgon draws a large army, the two sides set up a position, in order to really fight to the death.
