Chapter 533: The Fusang Invasion (2)
The Third Division had just defeated the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army, and had won a complete victory in Henan, but it was also very tired, and the whole army was only more than 30,000 people and very tired, which was not enough to control the entire territory of Henan.
The mountain did not disperse the troops, but ordered not to disperse, and did not occupy the prefectures and counties of Henan, I wanted to have a good rest, but was suddenly attacked by the Ming army, although the Ming army repelled several attacks, but also consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition.
He is a senior general of the Fusang Empire, and he knows the top secret information that the empire does not know, although the three divisions that entered the land of China are well-equipped, but these sophisticated weapons are not unlimited.
Before the expedition, the emperor summoned the commanders of their three divisions for the first time, and asked each division to save ammunition as much as possible to defeat the Dashun army, and the Great Western Army consumed three-fifths of the weapons and ammunition.
It was also because of his military orders that the Ming army harassment did not achieve brilliant results, but it did not suffer great losses.
The 3rd Division repelled the harassment of the Ming army this time, but it still consumed more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition and 60 shells.
Because there were not many weapons and ammunition, he ordered the Eighth Brigade to withdraw to Shandong, keeping the passage between Henan and Shandong unobstructed, and the Eighth Brigade withdrew from Kaifeng Mansion to Guide Mansion, and was attacked by Wanli Yunbu and the artillery battalion on the way, and 90 red-coated cannons and hundreds of tiger squat guns fired at the Eighth Brigade at the same time.
After the Eighth Brigade was bombarded, it quickly counterattacked with breech guns, and the Ming artillery was dispersed into several positions in the operation, Wan Liyun thought that this arrangement of artillery positions could make the Fusang artillery lose the ability to judge, but the Fusang artillery reacted quickly, completed the artillery angle and orientation in less than 20 minutes, and quickly fired at the Ming artillery, and flattened the three artillery positions of the Ming army in a short time.
The artillery of the Ming army only fired ten rounds of shells from the time the artillery was fired to the time it was blown up, and Wan Liyun could not bear such a big loss, so he hurriedly ordered the remaining two artillery positions to retreat and bring back as much artillery as possible.

The Ming army retreated suddenly, and the Fusang army did not pursue, because the Fusang army did not have many shells, and if it did not retreat to Shandong, the shells would be exhausted.
Although the Ming army did not dare to continue to harass, but the Ming army's ten rounds of artillery fire also killed and injured hundreds of Fusang soldiers, the Ming army did not have better tactics to harass the Fusang army, but it also completed the task excellently, dragging the Fusang army to continue to attack the Qing army north, and also consumed the weapons and ammunition of the Fusang army.
When Shantu learned that the Eighth Brigade had been raided by the Ming army and had lost more than 100 men, he was not angry, but ordered the troops to build fortifications in the occupied areas of Henan and Shandong.
The 8th Brigade withdrew to Dengzhou Prefecture, and according to the plan, it would receive supplies from the mainland this month, but this month for the first time it did not wait for supplies.
Without local supplies, the Third Division was like ants on a hot pot, without bullets and shells, and the rifle was inferior to a burning stick, far inferior to the spear and long hair of the Ming army, and it was not an opponent of the Qing army's firearms troops.
Shantu summoned his subordinates to discuss the matter of supplies, and an officer of the artillery wing thought that there were many storms in this season, perhaps because the fleet sending supplies had encountered a storm and did not arrive in Shandong in time.
Seeing that his subordinates were so ridiculous, Shan Tu slapped him, so that the officer covered his face and didn't dare to speak, and Shan Tu faintly felt that there was a change in the locality, and hurriedly asked the chief of staff Heng Shan to lead a hundred cavalry to make a detour to Baoding Mansion to contact the first division and the second division of Shuntian Mansion to see if these two divisions had any supplies.
If the 1st Division and the 2nd Division were restocked, he asked Yokoyama to dare to convince the 1st Division that the 2nd Division could give him some weapons and ammunition.
Hengshan dared to take a hundred horsemen to make a detour to Baoding Mansion, but did not encounter the Qing army along the way, and used it to reach Shuntian Mansion smoothly, and was surprised to find that there were no supplies here.
He only saw the 1st Division and the 2nd Division, as well as hundreds of thousands of puppet troops building fortifications in Shuntianfu, and did not see the momentum of continuing the offensive at all, he led his troops to the headquarters of the 1st Division, but was blasted out by the officers of the 1st Division, and he did not understand it, and the soldiers of the 1st Division raised their rifles and forced him to leave.

Hengshan Dare was extremely angry in his heart, he came to the headquarters of the Second Division again, and after reporting his name, he was not allowed to enter, and he ate consecutive consecutive words and closed the door, Hengshan Dare couldn't wait to fly back to Henan, and the mountains destroyed the first and second divisions.
However, the commander of the 2nd Brigade under the 2nd Division was his friend, and after he left, he quietly left the barracks, caught up with his team and told him that there had been changes in the empire itself, and the once inexhaustible arsenal suddenly became stingy, not only did not send supplies to the three divisions in China, but the garrisons on the island also changed into cold weapons and prepared to come for reinforcements.
This news made Yokoyama brave like a thunderbolt, he rushed to Henan overnight, back and forth, it took ten days, and when he returned, he told the information to the mountain region, and the mountain region was suffocated.
He didn't understand, what happened to the empire itself, could it be that there was another Ming who disobeyed the emperor and the generals, and once again set off a rebellion?
But even if he wants to rebel, he can't rebel on the way to the empire's conquest of China, and he can't understand that his third division is also the main division of the empire, why does the first division and the second division know this information, but he has no news?
He gritted his teeth and ordered all the officers and men of the Third Division to withdraw to Dengzhou Mansion, build a ship in Dengzhou Mansion, and if the supply was completely cut off, they would immediately withdraw to the island to prevent being completely annihilated by the enemy.
The sudden retreat of the mountain region made Dolgon breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that the Fusang army would attack from the north and south, the Fusang army in Henan would withdraw, and the Fusang army in Shuntianfu would also stop attacking, which made Dolgon scratch his head, as long as the Fusang army worked harder, it would be able to put the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, why did he suddenly short-circuit his brain, sometimes he really wanted to pry open the brain of the Fusang commander to see what the brain was?
Although the Qing army suffered defeat in the early stage, after the Qing army entered the pass, it plundered countless people in the pass, and had enough grain, grass and military pay to maintain hundreds of thousands of troops.
This is also the Qing army only occupied the territory of Baoding Prefecture, but it was able to make all the troops and horses follow them with all their hearts.
Faced with the vagaries of the Fusang army, Dolgon did not risk attacking, but quietly waited for the envoy to the Ming court in Jiangnan to reply to the letter.
