Hengshan is a natural defensive fortress, Jiang Hao did not pull the troops up the mountain, but chose to fight with the Qing army under the mountain, Jiang Rang instead hoped to rely on Hengshan to defend, Jiang Hao saw that the Qing army was prepared, and the defense of Hengshan could reduce casualties, but if the Qing army besieged but did not attack, his 30,000 soldiers and horses would be starved to death.

Wu Sangui was also surprised that Jiang Hao dared to lead the army in the field, and the Guan Ning Army under his command, as well as the Eight Banners Army with a considerable number of people, were worthy of Jiang Hao in the field battle.

The first confrontation between the two armies, the Guanning army exhausted, Jiang Hao relied on the veterans brought from Shanxi, barely withstood the Qing army's attack, when the Qing army put into the Eight Banners, Jiang Huang's old troops could not resist, casualties began to increase, and finally was penetrated by the Qing army.

Most of the Ming troops on both sides were new recruits, and after the main force was defeated, this group of miscellaneous soldiers was like fallen leaves, swept away by the Qing army.

Seeing that the troops were about to be completely defeated, Jiang Hao personally led his family to rush up to fight, and as soon as he took a look, he was killed and wounded by the musket team of the Qing army, Jiang Hao couldn't believe that looking at the musket team of the Qing army, he actually used a new rifle.

He wanted to know how the Qing army would have such a weapon, but a bullet pierced his arm, and the pain was so painful that he couldn't speak, Jiang Rang hurriedly took over the command of the battle and ordered the whole army to retreat.

Jiang Huang's troops were chopped melons and vegetables by the Qing army, as Jiang Huang retreated, the battle of Hengshan ended in a complete victory for the Qing army, the Qing army killed more than 10,000 Ming troops, captured more than 4,000 people, forced more than 6,000 people, and Jiang Huang was defeated with thousands of remnants of the army, and retreated to Hengyang County in embarrassment.

Retreating to Hengyang City, Jiang Huang said bitterly to Jiang Rang: "Brother, how can Jiannu also have that kind of firebolt?" ”

Jiang Rang shook his head, the Qing army was beaten by the Fusang people with a new type of firecracker, and the soldiers were lost, not only lost their hometown outside the Guan, but also were attacked by the Qing army, losing most of their territory and vitality.

But today's battle, the Qing army also has a new type of firearm troops, the Jiang brothers are speechless, Jiang Rang escorted Jiang Jiu to Chenzhou, he led the army to resist the Qing army in Hengzhou Mansion.

Jiang Jiu did not agree, he asked Jiang Rang and him to retreat to Chenzhou, not to disperse the troops, the two argued, Wu Sangui killed again, in the victory of the Battle of Hengshan, Wu Sangui became more and more courageous, using the troops to form a new green battalion, these green battalions became the vanguard of the Qing army, sweeping the northern part of Hengzhou to the state and county.

The Qing army approached Hengyang, Jiang Hao saw that the Qing army was strong, and drove the soldiers and civilians of Hengzhou to retreat to Chenzhou, and formed a new defense line in Chenzhou to resist the further attack of the Qing army.

The Qing army won one after another, and Dolgon turned his hands again into rain, and he wanted to send a messenger to Jiang Huang, saying that it was all a misunderstanding before, and he did not mention that Jiang Huang rebelled in Shanxi, as long as Jiang Huang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again, he was still the governor of Huguang Chenzhou, Hengzhou, and Yongzhou.

In order to show his importance to Jiang Huang, Dolgon also agreed that Jiang Huang's subordinates could serve as the prefect of Changsha Prefecture, and the Qing court gave Jiang Huang much more benefits than the Hongguang court gave Jiang Huang.

In order to avoid His Majesty being captured by the Qing army, Jiang Hao specially wrote a letter to Du Yinxi, in which he told him that he was wounded in the Battle of Hengshan, and he was afraid that he could not protect His Majesty, and asked Du Yinxi to escort His Majesty to a safer place.

At this time, in the territory of the Hongguang Imperial Court, only Guizhou, Sichuan and other places did not have war.

These two places were garrisoned by Wang Yingxiong and Li Dingguo, and Emperor Hongguang heard that he was going to Guizhou, but he couldn't go alive or dead, thinking that Guizhou was Li Dingguo's territory, and although Li Dingguo was a general of Ling Jingyang, he was the Great Western Army before.

He refused to go to Guizhou, and Du Yinxi had to retreat and ask His Majesty to go to Sichuan, with the protection of Wang Yingxiong, the imperial court could be better protected.

Without waiting for Emperor Hongguang to set off, it suddenly came that Wang Yingxiong was seriously ill, and Emperor Hongguang refused to go to Sichuan.

In the end, he proposed to Du Yinxi to go to Guangdong, but Du Yinxi didn't want him to go to Guangdong, because there were red-haired devils in Guangdong, and their strength was stronger than the Qing army.

Letting His Majesty go to Guangdong is not to push His Majesty into the fire pit, but Emperor Hongguang firmly believes that Ling Jingyang and Jin Sheng are loyal and have to go to Guangdong.

In desperation, Gamble Yinxi had no choice but to escort His Majesty to Huizhou Mansion, Emperor Hongguang just left on the front foot, and Wu Sangui launched a new round of offensive on the back foot.

Wu Sangui became more and more ferocious, in front of the whole army, he vowed to conquer the entire eastern region of Hunan, and gave Dolgon as a birthday gift, Wu Sangui swore that he was very passionate, Jiang Jiu also resisted to the death, and the field battle was defeated by Wu Sangui's army, so he retreated to the city.

The Ming army defended the city

Very successful, the Qing army was repulsed several times in the siege, after Wu Sangui captured the vast part of the lake, the army had enough grain and grass, and after the siege failed, he led the army to surround Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Hao and tens of thousands of troops were surrounded by the Qing army in Chenzhou City, and without reinforcements, Jiang Hao would be wiped out sooner or later.

Dolgon once again sent an envoy to persuade Jiang Jiu to surrender, but Jiang Huang still ignored it and beheaded the Qing army envoy again.

Dolgon was furious and ordered Wu Sangui to launch a full-scale attack and capture the city of Chenzhou, leaving no soldiers and civilians in the city.

Wu Sangui was willing to be the dog of the Qing army, and continued to lead the troops to attack Chenzhou City several times, and the soldiers and civilians of Chenzhou City regarded death as home, relying on tenacious willpower to repel the Qing army several sieges.

A general asked Wu Sangui to mobilize a new type of firecracker battalion, but Wu Sangui did not agree, this firecracker battalion was a secret unit of the Qing army, and it was also the Fusang rifle picked up by the Qing army in several battles, and then formed a team of more than 100 people to fight the enemy commander's troops on the battlefield.

In the Battle of Hengshan, this army played a role, wounding Jiang Huang and killing most of Jiang Huang's family, directly causing Jiang Huang's troops to lose command and being defeated by the Qing army.

However, this army still lacks firepower in the siege of the city, and if there is a rear boring cannon like the Fusang people, it may be able to break through Chenzhou City.

Wu Sangui had no choice but to continue to defend Chenzhou City under the city, wanting to starve the soldiers and civilians in the city to death, but the other soldiers and horses of the Qing army attacked the city in Huguang, and Boluo hit the junction area between Huguang and Guizhou, and Li Dingguo, who was stationed in the east of Guizhou, immediately led the army to resist.

Wang Yingxiong also dragged his seriously ill body to give orders, the Ming generals in Sichuan, Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying led the army to Huguang, and fought with the Qing army in Shizhou, and Li Dingguo fought with the Qing army in Chenzhou.

Bolo led the army to attack Yang Zhan's department, not only did not win, but was defeated by Yang Zhan, Zeng Ying led the army to pursue, Bolo was defeated again, lost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and was forced to retreat.

Although the Qing army retreated, it fought an ambush battle of the Ming army on the way to retreat, Zeng Ying's department suffered heavy losses, Zeng Ying almost fell into the water and died, but fortunately, his subordinates reinforced in time to rescue Zeng Ying, the Ming army did not dare to counterattack the Qing army, and the Shizhou battlefield fell into a stalemate.

In Chenzhou Mansion, Li Dingguo and the Qing army general Nikan fought, the two chess opponents, fierce confrontation in Yanmen, the fight was dark, regardless of victory or defeat, Li Dingguo and Nikan have a very small number of elite troops using rifles, both on the battlefield, both use elite troops to carry out beheading.

But it did not achieve results, but instead exposed the position of the elite troops, and was wiped out by the opposing army.

In the end, the supply line of the Qing army could not keep up, Li Dingguo could rely on the advantage of local combat, Wang Yingxiong also sent him grain and grass from Sichuan, the Qing army gradually fell into the disadvantage in Chenzhou Mansion, and Dolgon hurriedly mobilized Kong Youde and other troops to come to reinforcements.

Li Dingguo had few people and did not achieve greater results, and the Qing army and the Ming army engaged in a brutal tug-of-war on the border between Guizhou and Huguang.

Although the Qing army's westward advance was resisted by the Ming army, it still achieved rich results, occupying almost the entire Huguang region, occupying enough land and ruling population to gain a foothold in Huguang.

The strength of the Qing army swelled in a short period of time, causing panic among other forces, and the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army in Shaanxi and Shanxi naturally would not sit idly by and ignore the Qing army to become bigger and stronger.

Li Zicheng and Sun Kewang mobilized elite troops to attack the Qing army in Runing Mansion and other places in the Henan region, cutting off the north and south of the Qing army.

As everyone knows, Dolgon was eager for the Dashun army, the Great Western Army marched into Henan, and when he learned that the Great Shun Army and the Great Western Army launched an attack, Dolgon was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, and drafted a holy decree overnight, recalling the troops in Henan, as well as the troops stationed in Baoding Mansion in the north of Zhili.

The Qing army retreated sharply, once again abandoning all the territory in Jiangbei and concentrating on the management of Huguang.

The Dashun Army and the Great Western Army were like no one in Henan, and they occupied all the territory of Henan in January.

After occupying the entire territory of Henan, they suddenly found that the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army were directly facing the Fusang army, and the two immediately felt bad and immediately ordered to withdraw the main force in Henan.

Before the main force had time to withdraw, the 1st Division of Fuso, which was stationed in the northeast of Beizhili, suddenly launched a fierce attack.

Quickly occupy the entire Beizhili North, quickly move south to Henan, and almost annihilate the troops of the Dashun Army and the northern part of Henan of the Great Western Army.

The two armies suffered heavy losses, but fortunately, almost all the troops in the southern area of Henan were withdrawn so that they would not be injured

Moving bones.

After the Fusang army occupied Henan, it did not stop attacking, but attacked Shanxi with all its might, and as long as Shanxi was captured, it would be able to gain a foothold in Jiangbei.

The second division is responsible for attacking Shanxi, Shanxi is the last territory of the Great Western Army, although it lost more than 10,000 people in Henan, but the Great Western Army still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Shanxi, and every city and village is defended by the soldiers of the Great Western Army.

Li Zicheng understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and ordered Li Guo to lead the main force of the rear battalion to gallop to Shanxi, block the Fusang army from capturing Shanxi, and hold the lifeblood of Shaanxi.

The Fusang army attacked very strongly, using heavy artillery and rifles, and in only five days, it captured Datong Mansion, which was heavily guarded by the Great Western Army, and Yanmen Pass in the north of Taiyuan Prefecture.

In the ensuing battle, the regular army of the Fusang Army did not fight, but went to the captured areas to sweep, as long as they did not participate in the puppet army, they were all killed, for a time the souls in the northern part of Shanxi were all over the place, many villages were killed, in the frontal battlefield, the Fusang army was even more obscene to the limit, with the formation of the puppet army to consume the Great Western Army.

The Great Western Army could not defeat the regular army of Fusang, and it was easy to defeat the puppet army.

The puppet army suffered a complete defeat, and the second division did not launch a retaliatory attack, but transferred the Goryeo puppet army from Beizhili, and 40,000 Goryeo puppet troops entered Shanxi.

The brutal behavior of the Fusang Army and the puppet army aroused the anger of the people of Shanxi, and the people dragged their children and retreated to the territory of the Dashun Army and the Great Western Army, swearing to resist the invasion of the Fusang Army to the death.

Li Guo and Sun Kewang also noticed changes in the Fusang army during the battle, and in several large battles, the regular army of Fusang did not appear, and the puppet army did not use advanced weapons.

The two of them were not afraid to fight the Goryeo puppet army, and the Goryeo puppet army was formed for a long time, and it almost became a second-class unit of the regular army of Fuso, but they did not use the weapons of the Fusang army.

The Goryeo puppet army was arrogant and shouted to kill every Dashun army and Daxi army to present a gift for His Majesty's birthday.

But after really fighting with the Dashun Army and the Daxi Army, the Goryeo puppet army was almost beaten into a stick, whether it was a field battle, a city defense battle, or an encounter battle, the Goryeo puppet army was pinched and exploded.

Tens of thousands of puppet troops fought a little less, and after several battles, the Goryeo puppet army did not dare to attack, even if it launched an attack, it was necessary to have the regular army of Fuso to help in the back, and if not, it resolutely avoided the battle.

Li Guo and Sun Kewang doubled their confidence and launched a campaign to recover Datong Mansion, Sun Kewang led the army to attack the eastern part of Datong Mansion, and Li Guo led the Dashun army to attack from Yan'an Mansion and recapture the western part of Datong Mansion.

The two armies were like powerful fists, smashing fiercely into Datong Mansion, and the commander of the Second Division, Nakajima Dairo, who was stationed in Datong Mansion.

Watching the Kabuki performance in Datong City, since entering the Guannai, Nakajima Daro was fascinated by the world of flowers, although the Guannai was tossed by the Qing army in a dilapidated state, but it is still more prosperous than Fuso Island, he ordered his subordinates to rob the Ming women, forced women to learn the art of Fuso, and performed for him.

He was not happy in Datong City, the Dashun army attacked the western part of Datong Province, and the commander of the third brigade, Yamamoto Ghost, asked him for instructions and mobilized the main force to eliminate the Dashun army.

Nakajima didn't blink his eyes and said, "Yamamoto-kun, how many bullets does your pistol have?" ”

Yamamoto was stunned for a moment and said, "Seven bullets." ”

Nakajima asked him again, how do you shoot when the bullet is finished?

"When the bullets are finished, the bayonets are fought, and the bayonet battles of the empire are invincible."

Nakajima looked at Yamamoto Oni uncompetitively.

"We have such a few people in the land of China, only let the puppet army and the Dashun army and the Great Western Army go to consume, lose both, and finish their work in one battle, instead of playing their hole cards now."

But Yamamoto Ghost didn't understand it very much, he said angrily, "Your Excellency the division commander, the subordinate took the liberty to ask, why there has been no supply on the island for so long, is it because there is chaos on the island, so that the division commander saves soldiers and weapons and ammunition so much?" ”

"Yaga, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say."

Nakajima told him that the 1st Division would form a puppet army in Henan, the 3rd Division would form a puppet army in Shandong, and the 2nd Division would be tasked with forming a puppet army in Shanxi and Beizhili.
