"Your Majesty! The villagers of Jiugongshan ambushed Li Zicheng, and now all the villages near Jiugongshan have been flattened by the Shun army, a large number of villagers have died tragically, and the blood has flowed for hundreds of miles. ”

Qi Li made a request to Zhu Cihong.

"I'm ready!"

Zhu Cihong immediately agreed.

Soon after, a new temple was built in the city of Nanjing to commemorate the villagers who died in Jiugong Mountain.

At the same time, the Qing army intensified its attack on the Shun army, and Liu Zongmin was killed in battle.

Li Zicheng's third brother Li Zijing is nowhere to be found.

The Shun army fell into the point of being leaderless for a while, and began to fight on their own.

Basically, they are passively beaten.

It is long gone.

Seeing that the Shun army was like a plate of scattered sand, the northern part of the Qing army was basically flattened, and most of Henan, Shaanxi, Shandong, and Shanxi had already surrendered to the Qing army.

The Qing army turned the spearhead of the next attack straight to the southeast, and Zhu Cihong changed the Yongwu regime established by history.

The Qing court, with the famous general Duoduo as the commander, led 100,000 Qing soldiers to invade the south.

In just a few days, the Qing army was like a bamboo.

The Ming army was defeated and retreated.

"Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Qing soldiers are divided in Shangqiu, the soldiers are divided into two roads, all the way to Bozhou, attack Suzhou, all the way to Xuzhou, under Huai'an, my Ming army has suffered heavy losses, please send reinforcements immediately!"

Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly told Zhu Cihong the battle report from the front line truthfully.

"I didn't expect the Qing army to be so fierce! In the face of my new army, it can still be so overwhelming, and immediately ordered Zheng Sen, Gu Yanwu to go north to support Huang Degong, Zhang Huangyan, Yan Yingyuan's third battalion of the new army, must block the Qing army from continuing to advance! ”

Zhu Cihong hurriedly ordered.

"Obey the order!"

Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly complied with the order.

"Luo Yangxing!"

Zhu Cihong then looked at the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and commanded Luo Yangxing.

"The minister is here!"

Luo Yangxing hurriedly stepped forward.

"You immediately mobilize the Jinyi guards lurking in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places, assassinate the officials in the rear of the Qing army, ambush the grain and grass of the Qing army, and try your best to cut off the grain route of the Qing army, so that his rear is as chaotic as possible!"

Zhu Cihong let Luo Yangxing give full play to the way of fighting behind enemy lines.

"Obey the order!"

Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing to obey the order.

"The household department allocated millions to buy grain and grass materials to support the front line!"

Zhu Cihong then arranged for the head of the household book.

After Zhu Cihong's multi-pronged approach.

The situation in which the Ming army was losing and retreating on the front line was gradually brought under control.

Zheng Sen and Zhang Huangyan joined forces and broke the Qing army.

The advance of the Qing army was blocked.

The war gradually entered the phase of confrontation.

In the big tent of the Qing army.

"Peng!"

Duoduo angrily smashed the tea bowl, and then slammed the table and said angrily: "In the past, this king captured Hong Chengchou, forced the ancestor to surrender to Dashou, broke Li Zicheng, and was invincible, all of them felt so hard, but now this king is trying his best, and he can't advance half a step." ”

"Prince Yu doesn't have to worry, Zhu Cihong has 200,000 troops in the southeast, most of them are lounge rice bags, there is nothing to be afraid of, the only one to be afraid of is the 50,000 new army, and it is the 50,000 new army that makes our army unable to advance this time."

Guo Shou, the northern general of the Ming army, stepped forward and said.

"That's right! You're right, the new army is indeed powerful, and this king has never seen it, and there is a Ming army equipped with so many firearms. ”

Dodor nodded, agreeing.

"Although the new army has many firearms, but the mobility is poor, we use infantry to drag the enemy, divide 30,000 cavalry to cross the new army, take Nanjing directly, and give him a general!"

Guo Shou took out a map and pointed to the location of Nanjing.

"The new army has blocked all the roads, how can we cross the new army and take Nanjing directly?"

Duoduo asked, puzzled.

"We can concentrate all our forces, storm Hongxian, lure the main force of the new army of Fengyang and Huai'an to come to the rescue, and wait for the main force of Huai'an, our army will lead 30,000 eight banner iron cavalry with lightning speed, leave the new army behind, go straight to Huai'an, go south to Yangzhou, and take Nanjing, it is easy, and when the new army arrives in Yangzhou, we have already captured Nanjing, and the general trend of Nanming has gone."

Guo Shou was determined to be the number one traitor, and immediately offered advice.

"Good way! What a move. ”

Duoduo immediately praised the number one traitor.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the demoted general Guo Shou.

The Qing army concentrated heavy forces to attack Hongxian.

Zhang Huangyan, Zheng Sen, and Gu Yanwu, who were stationed in Huai'an, led the main force to rescue.

Huang Degong, who was stationed in Fengyang, and Yan Yingyuan also led the main force to the north to aid Hongxian.

A few days later, outside Hongxian County.

"The defenders of Hongxian County are almost unstoppable! I'm about to capture Hongxian! ”

Qing army general Zhao Wen said.

"What! The Ming army in Hongxian County is also too unfazed, and it is not possible to withdraw the troops to this king quickly, once our army captures Hongxian, the new army of the Ming army will not come to the rescue. ”

Duoduo, who was eating roast lamb legs, looked shocked and hurriedly instructed Zhao Wen.

"Yes! The last will go and withdraw. ”

Zhao Wen hurriedly obeyed.

"General! Look! The Qing army withdrew! ”

Upstairs in Hongxian County, a Ming soldier said excitedly.

"Ahh Really withdrawn! It seems that our army is brave and scared the Qing soldiers away! ”

The Hongxian guard boasted to himself with an ignorant face.

More than ten days passed.

New army reinforcements gradually appeared thirty miles outside Hongxian County.

"Prince Qiyu, thirty miles outside Hongxian County, found the new army of Fengyang and Huai'an in the Ming Dynasty!"

Guo Shou said to Prince Yu Duoduo.

"Great."

Seeing the plan of the Ming army, Duoduo immediately slapped the table with excitement.

"Asimu, you lead the infantry to drag these new troops for me while preserving your strength, and the rest of the 30,000 Eight Banner cavalry will follow me to bypass and come to the new army and break through Huai'an City!"

Duoduo immediately commanded the generals.

"Wow!"

The generals obeyed one after another.

Then Duoduo took Guo Shou and the 30,000 Eight Banners cavalry, directly bypassed the new army, and rushed to Huai'an.

The remaining infantry was led by the Manchu general Asim to hold off the Ming army.

Zhang Huangyan and the others quickly discovered that something was wrong.

"Commander Qiqi, Commander, Qing... The 30,000 cavalry of the Qing army, killing hundreds of us, scattered thousands of us, bypassed our flank. ”

Zhang Huangyan's subordinate soldiers in charge of reconnaissance told Zhang Huangyan truthfully.

"What! The Qing army bypassed our new army? Don't hit Hongxian anymore? ”

Zhang Huangyan suddenly said with a puzzled expression.

Then a bold idea flashed in Zhang Huangyan's mind.

"After the 30,000 Qing cavalry bypassed us, where did they go?"

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly asked the reconnaissance soldier.

"We're heading for Huai'an!"

The soldier in charge of the reconnaissance said truthfully.

"Not good! We've been tricked! ”

Zhang Huangyan instantly understood everything.

"Immediately send my general order to inform the other four battalions of the new army that the Qing army's attack on Hongxian is fake, lead us to leave the garrison, attack Huai'an, attack Yangzhou, and take Nanjing, and order them to abandon Hongxian immediately and rush to Huai'an."

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly instructed the soldier.

"Villain, let's go and give orders!"

The soldier hurriedly clenched his fists.
