Chapter 56: Battle Report

Zhang Xianzhong lost too quickly and slipped too fast.

Yan Ling also saw it for the first time, and the escape ability of the rogue, who was cited as a great disaster by the imperial court, did have different repercussions.

Of course, Lin Xiao did not have the ability to command these more than 10,000 elite soldiers, in fact, these soldiers were commanded by Lin Xiao's personal leader, the actual controller of the battalion under General Ning Shao.

Zhang Xianzhong bumped into this army head-on, the neat phalanx, the large array of more than 10,000 people was silent, and the dense cyan armor was very oppressive, and he felt bad first, this kind of discipline could not be matched even by the border troops who had fought with him.

Then launched an attack, even if Zhang Xianzhong sent the old battalion into battle, he was still defeated, he was also obedient, seeing that the situation was not good, he left the large army, led the young and strong old battalion to slip away immediately, and left the nearly 100,000 homeless people as a meat shield.

chased and killed for a while, and finally let them escape, but in the end, Zhang Xianzhong's army of more than 100,000 was left, and the rest either surrendered or fled.

"More than 70,000 captives, select, if it is Zhang Xianzhong's old battalion soldiers, they will be beheaded directly; If it is a young and strong rogue, it will be thrown into it for mining; If the people who are being coerced are taught a lesson, let them follow the next batch of ships to the southern continent. ”

There is no need for Yan Ling to speak, Yan Hongliang has already begun to assign tasks to the clan elder who is in charge of related matters, here, he is the first person under Yan Ling, and many government affairs are handled by him.

The old man of the clan replied, and then said:

"On top of that, a lot of rogues have escaped."

"Then the towns will be on higher alert, and soldiers will be organized to search for places and resettle the displaced people ......"

Yan Hongliang commanded on this side, and on the other side, Yan Ling waved his hand to summon a hidden dragon guard beside him, and instructed:

"You go to the prefect of Shaoxing and ask him to prepare a letter and send it to Jingshi with Lin Xiao's battle report."

"Tell him that the whole process of this battle must be recorded in detail and in detail, starting from Zhang Xianzhong's departure from Ningguo and entering Hangzhou, the impeachment of Zhang Lai, the general soldier of Zhejiang, feared the enemy without a fight, and the command was unable to lead to a rout."

There was a glint in his eyes:

"Coupled with Lin Xiao's contributions, the position of the Zhejiang General Soldier ...... It's in the bag. ”

……

During this period, the palace was very busy, and the eunuchs who were constantly coming in and out could be seen from time to time.

A report of war from all over the Ming Dynasty was sent into the palace like flowing water, enabling Emperor Wuxing to control the situation in the world.

And now, what he paid the most attention to was undoubtedly the war in Nanzhili. Therefore, when Yan Yinghui's report came to Beijing, it was sent to the emperor as soon as possible.

"Great, Nanjing is not lost!"

Seeing this news, even if he was as strong as Zhu Changxun, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Nanjing is not only an important town, but also has extremely important political significance. Once lost, the consequences are unimaginable, and it can even be pulled to such a thing as "the destiny has been lost".

After all, in the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the world said that the dragon qi was entrenched in Stone City.

In the same way, he was aware of the armaments in the South. To tell the truth, when 500,000 Liukou entered Nanzhi, he was almost ready for the loss of Nanjing, after all, Nanzhili had only been invaded during the Japanese rebellion since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it had been peaceful for too long.

The mobilization of Lu Xiangsheng and the soldiers and horses of various provinces is already ready to attack the fortifications. He planned to take advantage of the fact that Gao Yingxiang and other thieves were not firmly on the ground, and quickly recaptured Nanjing, so as to avoid too much impact.

However, what he didn't expect was that under the command of Yan Yinghui, Nanjing City was finally defended, which greatly surprised him.

It is also reported that there were more than 100,000 casualties in this battle, although most of the corpses have been actively burned by the rogues (to avoid the plague) and cannot be verified, but according to the scattered forces of the rogues later, this is not a lie.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Nanjing won a great victory.

At this time, the emperor was extremely excited.

"I'm going to be rewarded, uh......"

He suddenly realized that the other party was Yue Guogong, who not only had an inextricable relationship with his teacher, but more importantly, he was also standing at the top of the Ming Dynasty.

The title of Duke of Yue Guo is already the first rank under the Son of Heaven, even if he is a king, he only surpasses him in name, and he is not even comparable to him in actual power.

Any more, it can only be privilege, praise and worship, etc., but he doesn't want to give such power, or rather, since his mentality has changed to become more solipsistic, he will not give anyone such power.

"Then give me some of the land, and python robes, gold, silver, and other things."

He thought about it, made a decision, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh:

"This generation of the Yan family is really talented."

It's a pity that none of them can be used.

With a sigh, he continued to look at the recital.

After the Liukou withdrew from the siege, they were divided into several units and scattered, among which Gao Yingxiang's troops were colliding with Cao Wenzhao, who was heading south.

Gao Yingxiang sent more than 10,000 elite old battalion cavalry to fight, and he led the army to continue to retreat.

However, Cao Wenzhao's cavalry was a Liao cavalry from the command of the Li family in the northeast, which was an elite cavalry with combat power exceeding the ordinary border army and even the fetter army, with only 4,000 people, and the old battalion of more than 10,000 people was defeated and lost.

However, at this time, Gao Yingxiang had already slipped away, and Cao Wenzhao received an order to support Nanzhi, so he did not chase after him, but led the army to continue south.

Soon after, Lu Xiangsheng also arrived.

The next thing is so logical.

The remaining few rogue leaders in the territory of Nanzhili were not Lu Xiangsheng's opponents at all, and they were soon killed and injured under the fierce pursuit, and soon after, the leaders of the Liukou who did not leave Nanzhili, such as the King of Chaotian and the King of Sweeping, were all beheaded.

Seeing this, Zhu Changxun nodded with satisfaction.

Nan Zhili is considered to be fine.

The heart that was hanging was finally let go.

Soon after, the war that broke out in Zhejiang also spread to the palace.

"The thief came down from the south and offended my town......"

……

"The general army of Zhejiang was defeated in Qiantang, and more than 10,000 troops were wiped out overnight, and they fled into Hangzhou alone ......"

……

"Fortunately, Ning Shao's general Lin Xiao led the official army to defeat the thief in Xiaoshan, beheaded the thief 14,671, and dedicated it to His Majesty."

"More than 70,000 thieves were captured, most of whom were people who were coerced by thieves and have been handed over to the ministers to settle down."

After reading the Shaoxing prefect's recital, and then looking at Lin Xiao's battle report, everything was clear and impeccable.

Undoubtedly, this is a big victory, and Zhang Xianzhong's battle has even lost a lot of his old capital.

And the record of the Zhejiang general army is so stretched that even if the Shaoxing prefect only reported the facts, without "polishing", it was enough to make Zhu Changxun angry.
