Chapter 48 Escape
This is also the biggest reason why Liu Yongxi insists that it is Li Chengdong, Gao Jinku betrayed Guo Hu and Yang Chengzu. Although many people know that Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku may have suffered a ruthless injustice, everyone does not care about Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's personal fate, but hopes to take advantage of this opportunity to compete with Liu Yongxi to make a fortune.
This is also the real reason why Li Chengdong was furious. Although he had nearly 10,000 people under his command, and the Manchu nobles including Duoduo, the King of Henan, were fully supporting him, but everyone felt that the ship Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku were about to sink, and they were trying their best to leave his ship. Even Duoduo and Li Rutai and other relatives of the Eight Banners were sacrificing Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku wanted to attract the attention of the Ming army.
Now Liu Yongxi reiterates his promise: "Let the soldiers work harder, and we must keep the two ungrateful wolves Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku for me!"
Now the Ming army focused all their attention on Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, and concentrated several elite troops and heavy troops to form a front-end blocking and intercepting force. The Qing army was able to get away from Li Chengdong, and Gao Jinku was as far away as Gao Jinku. Even the particularly warlike Eight Banners brigade tried to keep a distance from Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku.
Although Duoduo and Li Rutai knew very well that after solving the two surrendered troops of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, the Ming army's key offensive would immediately turn to the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian soldiers of the outer vassals, at least now the Ming army has put 70% of its strength on Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, which has finally given the Qing army a chance to leave the battlefield.
What's more, Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku have been proud of each other in recent days, especially Li Chengdong has mastered nearly 10,000 troops and even did not take the Eight Banners' power brigade to heart. Now, it is an ending that everyone can accept by using the Ming army to weaken them.
In this battle to siege Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku, Guo Hu and Yang Chengzu's old subordinates were the ones who led the battle. Although they only had more than a thousand people and were almost out of the system, they rushed up desperately as if they were injected with chicken blood when they met Li Chengdong's subordinates. Moreover, when Li Chengdong and Guo Hu in Gao Jinku's subordinates and Yang Chengzu's old subordinates changed their banners without hesitation when they saw the banners of Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing.
What's more, the Ming army of Yue also has a real killing weapon. Mrs. Xing has always been very popular among the officers and soldiers. She has always been respectfully called "Mrs. Xing" by everyone. She is even considered the second-ranked figure in Gao Jie's army. Now Mrs. Xing is still Mrs. Xing, and everyone loves her more than before. She stood in front of the formation and had not even spoken. Many Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's old subordinates knelt down at the first time.
Although Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku tried every means to deal with Liu Yongxi's siege, the officers and soldiers below felt that the war could not continue. The advantage of the Yue Ming army was too obvious. They could not deal with the Eight Banners Powers, but Gao Jinku was easy to deal with Li Chengdong.
What's more, even if this battle is barely won, it's just that Gao Jie's old subordinates fought both sides and suffered losses. Now, whether it is the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia, the Mongolian vassals, or the Han army of various vassals, the Green Camp soldiers try their best to keep a distance from Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku.
Therefore, this battle cannot be fought. Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku became more and more frightened. Hundreds of soldiers and horses directly joined the Ming army. Now the most reliable and capable troops were just fleeing under the offensive of the Ming army. If this continues, the Ming army will become stronger and stronger. Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku not only fought fewer and less confident, but they will make the best choice without hesitation: run!
Run to Nanjing at all costs! As long as you escape, you will be the greatest victory!
Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's run away was equal to one-third to one-quarter of the troops disappeared on the battlefield. The Ming army had an advantage, and the current offensive was even more like a tide. It was no different from a catastrophe for the Qing army. Therefore, no matter the Eight Banners of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Han, the Eight Banners of the Han army, the New Han Army, the New Han Army, and the Fleeting with all their strength without hesitation.
The Ming army's offensive like a flood almost flooded everything. No matter which Qing army suffered considerable losses in the breakout, the only difference was that the losses were large or small, but at this time Liu Yongxi issued the most important order: "Our goal is the Eight Banners of Manchuria. We must keep Jianlu at all costs so that they will never forget Huzhou and Hangzhou!"
It was not until now that everyone understood that Liu Yongxi's so-called orders to never let Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku were just a flick of the shot. The real target was still the most elite Man Eight Banners. Everyone deeply agreed with Liu Yongxi's decision. However, Queen Zhang asked: "I heard that Man Eight Banners are all horse teams, can they stay?"
Queen Zhang spoke, and Liu Yongxi's tone became gentle: "So you have to keep the Eight Banners at all costs. As long as you annihilate all the Eight Banners, the rest of the troops can be defeated without attacking!"
Although there were only a few thousand Eight Banners Army to fight with Duoduo, and even fewer Eight Banners in Manchuria, for the Qing army, the Eight Banners of Manchuria will always be the real core of combat. As long as the Eight Banners of Manchuria were solved, it would not be a big problem whether it was the Eight Banners of Mongolia, the Eight Banners of Han Army, or the Green Camp Army.
Mrs. Xing also interrupted and said, "It doesn't matter if Liu Liangzuo runs away. Even if there are ten Liu Liangzuo, we have a solution. But if Jianlu runs away, there will be no such good opportunity in the future!"
The princess of the regent who had just caught up deeply agreed: "Mrs. Xing is right. After we surrounded Boluo in Hangzhou the last time, the Eight Banners of the Han army ran north hard!"
Fang Guoan, the former general of Chikou beside the princess of the regent, was particularly active: "Please rest assured, my 100,000 soldiers intercepted me from the front and back, and even if Jianlu had the ability to do so, he would not want to escape!"
But Fang Guoan said this too much. Although the Qing army is now fleeing with the collapse of Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku's troops, this does not mean that there are many flaws in the planning of Duoduo and Li Lutai.
Gao Jie's old subordinates were originally the biggest weakness of the Qing army, but after some trouble between Duoduo and Li Rutai, Li Chengdong and Gao Jinku stood up to attract all the hatred of the Ming army and won two precious days for the Qing army.
Two days may be a little short for other armies, but for the Manchu horse team who makes a living by riding and shooting, two days are enough and even more surplus. Moreover, if you want to block the Eight Banners Power Team, you are not an unknown person like Fang Guoan.
Therefore, under the tide of offensive, the Ming army captured thousands of people in one breath and annihilated dozens of enemy troops in the camp. Many of them were old Qing troops, but all these results had nothing to do with the Eight Banners Army. The Ming army only captured a few small-scale Eight Banners Army, but at most they were dozens of people.
Now Duoduo praised Li Lutai's advice: "As long as we go fast, the Jinhua thieves will never catch up with us. You will have as many futures as you want in Nanjing!"
Li Lutai also laughed: "The Wang Army suffered a setback this time in the southern expedition, and was mainly defeated by the navy. However, this has been the case in all dynasties. If you want to conquer Jiangnan, you must have a powerful navy!"
In fact, this failure has little to do with the navy. Although the water power of the Ming army of Yue was extremely active in the battle, the reason for the failure of the Qing army was not because the water power was too weak. However, Duoduo accepted the answer given by Li Lutai: "It is true. This time Boluobeile and I both failed because of the unfavorable water battle, but the next time it will not be that easy. I will let the Jinhua thieves know what the invincible Eight Banners Brigade is!"
Zu Dabi, who escaped from Hangzhou, nodded repeatedly: "King Yu said very well. Although Bolobeile underestimated the Jinhua thief's navy, such tricks would not work again and again. As long as we fight back to Nanjing, the Jinhua thieves will have no choice but to do anything to us!"
Duoduo also cheered these Eight Banner generals: "That's right, as long as we leave Huzhou Prefecture, the Jinhua thieves think we can't do anything about it. Moreover, the reinforcements from the King of England and the capital should be on the way. When they are in place, they can launch a counterattack!"
Just when talking about counterattack, all the Eight Banners generals present felt frightened. Li Rutai relied on his special relationship with the royal family to remind him: "King Yu, I think it is better for us to stabilize the situation step by step!"
Even the Eight Banners generals were shadowed by the Ming army in Hangzhou and Huzhou this time. They all felt that Huzhou was too dangerous. It would be better not to set foot in Huzhou without a hundred thousand. Duoduo also heard their concerns: "Mr. Li reminded me very well. Next time I will lead a 200,000 army to manage Huzhou, and ensure that everything is foolproof and you can easily take down Huzhou City!"
These Eight Banners finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before the group even set off, they saw Liu Liangzuo rushing up in a very embarrassing way: "King Yu, King Yu, help me! My number one general Qin Dapeng and three thousand soldiers were trapped by the Jinhua thief. You can't stand by death and refuse to save me!"
Qin Dapeng is the number one general under Liu Liangzuo. Although there are always conflicts with Liu Liangzuo in normal times, Liu Liangzuo was frightened after Qin Dapeng was blocked by the Ming army of Yue, but he did not dare to turn around to save Qin Dapeng. He could only place all his hopes on Duoduo and the Eight Banners Power Brigade.
But Duoduo, Li Rutai and others finally escaped from the tiger's mouth. How could they rush back and go to Hushan again? Therefore, Duoduo quickly said: "Boe Guangchang, I am very sad that General Qin has lost the enemy camp. However, now we must focus on protecting the entire army of the King's Army. I cannot ignore tens of thousands of soldiers because General Qin has 3,000!"
Zu Dabi next to him also quickly got on his horse and was about to run away: "Huama Liu, General Qin is really powerless, so everyone should protect themselves first!"
