Chapter 263 Siege of Milu Yuanqiuyue
Both sides were red in their eyes, and their armor could protect them for a while but not for a lifetime.
From time to time, soldiers from both sides fell down, white knives entered and red knives came out, and the scene was very bloody.
Hong Chengchou, who was far away, watched the fight without caring, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Yes, what does it matter if there are many people who die?
As long as this battle is won, it is worth it to be able to capture Yongli alive.
This is Can Ming’s only flag now. If Can Ming falls, it will be finished.
Do you still expect that waste King Lu?
I'm afraid he's already discouraged from the moment he went to the state to ban the title?
Such a person cannot become Can Ming's new king.
In addition, supporting a royal family to become emperor is more unreliable than relying on King Lu.
Li Dingguo should be very clear that this is his last chance.
"Transfer, add some more force."
Hong Chengchou knew very well that it was not the moment when the winner was decided. The reason why he wanted to increase his strength was to give Yongli a sense of oppression and make him make mistakes in his busyness.
Now he has set up a net of heaven and earth around the entire Changsha City, and he doesn't believe that Yongli can escape.
Oboi saw it and was happy in his heart.
Not to mention that Lao Hong is really a little bit bad.
With this arrangement, Oboi couldn't make it.
Hu Quancai, Zhou Peigong, and Gao Tianjue also looked happy.
Jiang is still old, and Hong Jingluo is worthy of being the most ruthless person in the Qing Dynasty. He wants to trap Yongli's ministers and his ministers here to death.
...
...
In the Ming army formation, Zhu Youlang in the central army gradually realized Hong Chengchou's intentions.
Hong Chengchou is deliberately delaying!
At this moment, Li Dingguo suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Captains are surrounding our army from all directions!"
Zhu Youlang instinctively asked: "How many people are there?"
"This minister is not clear yet, but it should be less likely to be the case."
Zhu Youlang's heart sank, thinking that Hong Chengchou had regarded this battle as a decisive battle.
The Ming army had as many as 50,000 to 60,000. With Hong Chengchou's character of seeking stability, it would have at least twice as many troops to encircle the Ming army.
If there are 100,000 people, they can indeed surround the elk!
"Don't panic, line up!"
Zhu Youlang ordered in a deep voice.
In the past or two years after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the advanced Taixi firearms, he had to train the formation.
Zhu Youlang has always believed that advanced firearms and perfect formations are the ultimate body of the firearm troops.
This formation is not dead, but changes at any time according to the battlefield situation.
At the beginning, Zhu Youlang first promoted it in the Hu Ben Army.
After the Hu Ben Army was proficient in mastering it, he promoted it in other Ming army formations.
Therefore, after hearing the order to arrange the array, Li Dingguo immediately understood it.
Since Hong Zhe wants to rush to the formation, let him rush to the battlefield.
The Ming army's flag bearer immediately blew the flag words, and the army changed accordingly.
The battle situation is urgent now, and the situation on the field is changing rapidly.
If the formation changes earlier, the pressure will be less when the impact is affected.
The Ming army was originally a long snake formation.
Now it has become a fan-shaped shape, with the two wings perfectly protecting the central army. No matter which angle the Qing army attacks, the Ming army can support each other.
When Hong Chengchou saw the Ming army change its formation, he called himself an expert.
This formation is the most perfect defensive formation under the current circumstances.
But he is now on the string and has to shoot. No matter what formation Ming Jun has set, he will go to rush!
"The whole army charges!"
Hong Chengchou ordered without hesitation.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for so long.
When he was in Guizhou, he was wondering why the Qing army had already won eight or nine points in the world, but the last one or two points were left.
At first he couldn't figure it out, until one day he saw two children fighting, one was tall and mighty, fifteen or sixteen years old, and the other was thin at the age of thirteen or fourteen.
At the beginning, the tall and mighty child had the advantage and hugged the thin child and cried bitterly.
But somehow, the crying child suddenly started to fight to the death. In the end, the abuse-torn child was stunned and was beaten and screamed.
At that moment, Hong Chengchou realized it.
Anyone who faces absolute dilemma will burst out with power far beyond his usual ones.
As the saying goes, those with barefoot are not afraid of those with shoes.
The Ming army is naturally the same.
They have been forced into a desperate situation, and if they lose again, there is no possibility of survival.
At this time, they naturally fought hard and did not hesitate to lose their lives.
The Qing army is different. The richest places in the world are now in the hands of the Qing army.
The territory of the Qing army was several times that of the Ming army.
Therefore, the Qing army had the capital to lose, but was not afraid of losing.
What's even more terrifying is that those officials who guarded one side knew that the court was now employed, and even if they were defeated, they would make them guilty and meritorious.
So they were conservative in their battle with the Ming army and did not do their best.
Among them, Hu Quancai is the representative.
Hu Quancai definitely felt that there was no need to save his life in order to defend Wuchang, so he chose to run away.
If the court sets a precedent like the Chongzhen dynasty, the land will be killed.
Then Hu Quancai will definitely fight to the last moment.
After all, Emperor Shunzhi was too hesitant and weak.
In this regard, Chongzhen did better than Shunzhi.
After seeing through the essence of the problem, Hong Chengchou could naturally understand why the Qing army had been losing and the Ming army had been winning.
To stop this momentum, Hong Chengchou had to do was to cut the mess quickly and defeat the Ming army as much as possible.
As long as there is a crushing defeat, the momentum of winning streak will be interrupted.
As long as this breath is leaked, it will be difficult to gather together.
Hong Chengchou knew very well that it was unrealistic to rely on mediocre people like Hu Quancai, so he persuaded Oboi to send his main force to Changsha to encircle and block Yongli.
This battle was a decisive battle for the Ming army and could not be lost.
But it was not the case for the Qing army. Even if they lost the Qing army, there were still unlimited possibilities, and they could rely on the powerful financial resources of the south to train more troops to fight back.
So Hong Chengchou did not hesitate to bet on a bet.
If he wins the bet, he will be a famous minister who has been remembered in history. If he loses the bet, he will never start over.
For him, this was simply stable and unpaid.
The reason why the ambush point was chosen in the Miluyuan was that the terrain was high and the Qing army could surround the Ming army.
It's like a rope cover around your neck, slowly tightening and slowly closing.
Maybe it won't be immediately fatal, but the feeling of torture is enjoyed by Hong Chengchou.
Moreover, in Hong Chengchou's view, it is difficult for the Ming army to break through under such terrain. He can rely on his life to fill it. Anyway, his army is twice that of the Ming army, so it doesn't matter even if it is a little bit of loss. As long as you can capture and kill Yongli, it is worth it to pay any price.
Kill, kill.
Kill all the Ming army here and let the people in the world see the consequences of resisting the Qing Dynasty.
