After an afternoon of bloody battle, the main force of the Qing army led by Jier Harang, Prince of Heshuo, the Qing Dynasty, was defeated from the front line of Jiaohualing in Lishui County to Lishui.

On the battlefield, the three divisions of the Ming army, Yongjia, Dalan and Siming, led by Li Ruixin, Chen Guobao and Ma Xin, launched a ruthless pursuit of the main force of the Qing army under the leadership of Li Ruixin, Chen Guobao and Ma Xin. The cavalry teams of each battalion focused on pursuing the Qing army officers and cavalry with the advantage of maneuvering speed, while the infantry advanced in formation in units of sentries, crushing all the enemy troops who were trying to fight dyingly like a roller.

On the east side of the battlefield, the cavalry battalion and cavalry infantry battalion led by Chen Wen had already cooperated with the Jinhua Division and the Nantang Camp of the Siming Division to complete the encirclement of the Eight Banners Army, which Jierharang personally was in charge.

The last noble king who came from the rise of the Qing Dynasty and Liaodong, Prince Heshuo Zheng, who once became the regent, was captured with all his strength. This core armed force of the eight banners of Manchuria, Mongolia, and Han army was killed by the Ming army on this land. The left wing, central army, right wing and the Mongolian led by the Ming Dynasty did not forget to pursue the Ming Dynasty while encircling.

In fact, Chen Wen did not need to chase him in a hurry. Before the encirclement was completed, Ming Andali always wanted to help Jiergalang clear the siege from the outside, but the Ming army used a battle formation composed of infantry and cavalry to encircle. Unless Jiergalan broke through the encirclement after completing the encirclement, it would be impossible for Ming Andali to break through the strong formation with the light cavalry in his hands.

However, Jiergalang's safety was of great importance. Ming Andali did not dare to ignore it, so she had to keep taking the cavalry to find opportunities. Until the encirclement was completely completed and the cavalry of the Ming army turned around and wanted to deal with the Eight Banners Army, which was already at a disadvantage in number, Ming Andali was fleeing north by the fleeing cavalry.

After defeating the battle, it is naturally where they want to go subconsciously. Lishui is the base for them to go south to fight the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they naturally escape back to Lishui first and talk about other things. At least, when they arrive in Lishui, they will have the opportunity to cross the river and return north. It is better than falling into the hands of Chen Wen, the King of Hell who has always been called by the Qing Dynasty, who never left prisoners.

The defeated soldiers fled north, the Ming army's infantry and cavalry chased each other, and the long-distance running of tens of thousands of people was staged in southern Nanjing. Although those captured may not die immediately, their lives are lingering in their hands and they are always uneasy.

Compared with infantry, cavalry is always easier to escape, but the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang never allowed the Qing cavalry to escape. Not to mention anything else, the capture of war horses is the top priority and must not be ignored.

As the cavalry in the camp pursued a smaller Qing cavalry northward, Li Huanxiang felt that his father had longed to return to his hometown in Liaodong from the beginning. He thought that the Eight Banners Army was invincible in Liaodong, and their family had to flee into the pass. Decades have passed. He thought Zhejiang would be just a dream, but now he was chasing these Eight Banners Army who fled in panic, and he realized that the dream would really come true one day.

The Xinchang Camp of the Siming Division was chasing him closely, but the smaller Eight Banners Army did not flee to Lishui, but headed northeast. It seemed that they were planning to flee to Zhenjiang so that they could cross the Yangtze River from there.

The head and seizure will be one of the evidences for future merit. The main force of the Qing army has been defeated. These things are within reach. They are fashionable in battle and are dedicated to their lives, let alone at this time.

The cavalry was chasing, fighting for riding skills. The Qing army was so anxious that they wanted to get rid of the Ming army as soon as possible, and almost throw away the things that were heavy enough. The cavalry of these Mongolian Eight Banners was only stronger than that of the Ming army. After chasing for a long time, they could only catch some unlucky guys who were accidentally dropped, fell down by the war horse, or shot by the Ming army.

As time went by, the sky became darker and darker, and it was not necessary to mention being attacked by the Qing army on the road. Even if it was too dangerous to ride a horse after dark, it would not be tolerated for the Ming army.

If this continues, the chek cavalry can only give up and continue to pursue. Once the Qing army was attacked by the mixed infantry and cavalry forces in Changzhou and Zhenjiang, the one who suffered the loss at that time would be the chek cavalry camp, just like how Chen Wen calculated the Ming Anda Li a few hours ago.

The Qing army was still riding horses, but the Ming army could not let go of these military achievements that were about to be obtained, so they had to continue chasing forward. The sky became darker and darker, and the war horses were running, and there were more and more fallen horses. The Qing army was like this, and the Ming army did not dare to let go of horses too fast. After all, this war horse was much rarer to the Ming army than the Qing army, and it was even more incomparable.

Even if the Qing cavalry took advantage of the situation and rolled over, they did not fall, but they had to die in the face of the Ming cavalry chasing. However, the pursuit speed of the Ming army was also declining. This time, more Qing cavalry would escape. It was unimaginable to surround and annihilate them like infantry.

However, just as the cheque camp was about to give up the pursuit and returned to the army to report, Li Huanxiang, who was chasing the front, vaguely saw that in the increasingly dim front, the Qing army seemed not only slowing down, but even began to divert to the east and west directions.

"Are Tartars lined up in front?"

This is the first idea of ​​Li Returning to the West. Infantry formations and the cavalry naturally had to divert and bypass the battle formation and repair them behind or in the formation. This was normal. He learned these things when he was in the martial arts school. But when he listened carefully, the sound of horse hooves stomping on the ground, the ear strength he had learned in the special operations team told him that it seemed that it was not the case.

"Tell the battalion officer that there is a river ahead and the Tartars are turning in both east and west."

The messenger slowed down his horse and returned to inform the battalion officer of the chariot camp. The battalion officer knew that the cavalry captain of his subordinate came from the special operation team and had seen too many big and small scenes, so he rarely made mistakes in his judgment.

"Send the order, the fourth, fifth, and sixth brigades go east, the seventh, eighth and nineth brigades go west, and launch an interception on the Tartars. The others will continue to chase after me!"

The order was issued, and the Ming army's cavalry was quickly divided into three parts. The group of Ming troops chasing in the front continued to pursue, while the other two directly changed directions and intercepted the Qing army.

Between the two points, the shortest straight line, and the Ming cavalry, who were worried about not being able to catch up, quickly stopped most of the Qing cavalry and cooperated with the main force who continued to pursue to squeeze the Qing army directly on the bank of the river. The Qing army kept leaping into this river that looked not too deep. Next, the Ming army that got what they wanted would not let go of this great achievement that fell from the sky, and the attack was launched immediately.

The system was already in chaos, even the cavalry was like a slaughter. They easily divided the Qing army into several pieces and eroded them step by step until they were swallowed. Only those who could escape the birth of the world were the best ones who turned one step earlier and the lucky ones who were cruel to cross the river and were not drowned.

The cavalry did not have the rule that the heads could not be cut off, especially during the pursuit battle, some Ming cavalry scattered to warn. The Ming army quickly completed the work of cleaning the battlefield and embarked on the road to return. At this time, the head of the Qing warrior who had escaped from him twice before was hanging on the battle horse of Li Huanxiang, and he died with his eyes closed.

Because it was a decisive battle with the Qing army in the afternoon, the sky became darker and darker. In order to prevent the chasing army from being attacked by the established Qing army, the pursuit troops had to return to the main force of the Ming army when visibility could not continue to support the pursuit mission.

The battlefield has been cleaned up, and the Qing army in Gaochun County, which is closest to the battlefield, surrendered. The Ming army's auxiliary troops used this to build camps for the left wing and repaired them.

The Ming army that was pursuing returned one after another, and the huge gains were not counted for a while. However, according to the estimates of each battalion, there were no less than 10,000 in this battle, including Manchu and Han Eight Banners. On the contrary, the cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Eight Banners once again used their maneuverability to escape from the battlefield, just like the great victory in Siming Lake.

The Manchus and Qing dynasties were integrated with Manchus, but if the Eight Banners of Manchus were too weakened, they would not be able to balance the Mongolian and the Eight Banners of Han, and they would not be able to use the more than 100,000 troops of the Eight Banners of Manchus, Mongolians and Han to shock the huge number of Green Camp soldiers.

The core population is too small, which is the largest life gate of the Qing Dynasty. Every time the Eight Banners of Manchus dies, it is a weakening of their hard power for the Qing Dynasty.

Chen Wen has fought against the Eight Banners of Manchuria three times so far. The first Siminghu victory was in the Siminghu, with two thousand each of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han troops. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and Han troops suffered serious losses, while the Eight Banners of Mongolia suffered less losses. However, in the subsequent Qiaosizhen victory and the subsequent restoration of Hangzhou, this army stationed in the Eight Banners in Hangzhou was almost completely destroyed. However, Yue Le and the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners fled back to Nanjing with the Eight Banners of the South. Among them, Liu Liangzuo played a significant role in defeating Zheng Chenggong.

However, this time, Jiergalang led 20,000 Eight Banners Army to the south, but suffered another defeat. The Qing army had no heavy army group in Jiangnan, and the only thing left was the city of Nanjing.

Since that's the case, there was no need to be too rush. However, without radio, Chen Wen had no idea about the specific situation of the Zhejiang coastal cruise navy entering the Yangtze River. Since he had achieved great victory, he should have recovered Nanjing as soon as possible. Whether it is this everlasting city with great influence, or to kill more vitality from the Qing Dynasty.

The next morning, the Ming army marched north and headed straight for Nanjing. As for the three prefectures of Ningguo, Taiping and Chizhou in the upper reaches of Nanjing, or the three places of Changzhou, Zhenjiang and Suzhou in the lower reaches of Nanjing, Chen Wen was not in a hurry at all. As long as he took down Nanjing, these places would be issued a decree.

……………………

The victorious Ming army went north to recover lost territory, and the Ming Andali fled back to Lishui County under the pursuit of the Ming army. With the protection of the city, the Ming army's cavalry could not fly to the top of the city, but the Qing army was not much better. After all, they could not predict whether Chen Wen would launch an attack on Lishui tonight, then move northward, recover Nanjing, or set off again the next day.

These are unknown numbers. The army did not dare to stay for a moment, so they had to escape from Lishui from the north gate overnight and headed towards Nanjing at night. When they arrived in Nanjing, they could always find a boat to cross the Yangtze River. With the Yangtze River as a gully, the Ming army pursuers could not catch up with them for the time being. As for what happened in Nanjing, who still cares about this.

The Ming army took advantage of the situation to recover the defeated troops and fled overnight. The local green camp was also like Lishui County. At this time, Ming Andali, who escaped at night, finally rushed back to Nanjing.

"Where is the prince?!"

Jirgalang's status. As soon as Ma Guozhu saw these Eight Banners Army thrown away, he immediately fainted on the ground. However, when he was forcibly awakened by his subordinates, the first sentence was Jirgalang's safety.

Ming Andali was unable to answer, and even when Ma Guozhu woke up, Ming Andali was no longer in the Governor's Office. Next, Ma Guozhu got the news from the officer who fled back that Jirhalang personally took over the Eight Banners Army, but was besieged by the Ming army.

I don’t know about life and death, it’s better than confirming the news of death, and at least there is a glimmer of hope. But before Ma Guozhu finished drinking a sip of tea, the news of Ming Andali committing suicide in his residence came.

A crushing defeat of such a scale was not only Ming Andali, but many people put their heads on the ground. It was beyond doubt. Ming Andali committed suicide, which was nothing unusual, but once this news spread, the city now called Jiangning became panic. Especially in Jiangning, this city is even more so.

The Susong Navy was defeated by the Ming fleet at the estuary of the Yangtze River. The news that General Liang Huafeng was killed had reached Nanjing, and the retreat was cut off. The fleet of the Ming army from the Zhejiang Coastal Cruise Navy and the Jiangxi Poyang Lake Navy had already launched a blockade of the Yangtze River yesterday. Even if you want to escape, it is definitely not easy.

Ma Guozhu is the governor of Jiangxi, Jiangnan. Jiangxi under his jurisdiction was recaptured by the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang as early as last year. Although most of the territory of the Jiangnan province is north of the Yangtze River and in the traditional sense, his capital is here. Just like Chen Jin, the last governor who was forced to death by Chen Wen, Ma Guozhu could only survive and die with Nanjing, and there was no other way.

However, the hearts of the people in Nanjing were already powerless. The defeated soldiers, all the men, women, young and old in the city, as well as the Qing officials who participated in the trial of the Tonghai case, wanted to flee to Jiangbei. The gentry and scholars in the city were like ordinary people, hoping that the Ming army could recover Nanjing as soon as possible. Ma Guozhu had very few resources, and even the Green Camp soldiers of the Super Biao Battalion were not under control.

The Qing Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan was about to end. This time, Ma Guozhu no longer had the confidence to collapse on his own like the last time that the military discipline of Zheng Chenggong's army was completely different from the Ming army in Fujian, and his military families were all bound to the military merits of Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces, and it was impossible for him to take his family to fight.
