Chapter 360 Hong Chengchou wants to escape for the moon(1/2)
The momentum on the battlefield is really important.
Once the momentum is at a disadvantage, it will be too difficult to recover it.
The Qing army's three axes did not open up the situation, but instead stimulated the Ming army's bloodiness and desire to fight.
The Ming army became more and more braver as the battles fought, and the Qing army was exposed to the end.
Once in and out, you can't fight this battle.
What's more, if the Qing army could not recapture Ximen in a short period of time, the consequences would be devastating.
At this time, the Qing army at the other three city gates had no way to reinforce, after all, they were under great pressure.
If you want to blame, Geng Jimao, who had a rebellious bone in his head, stabbed them in the back at a critical moment.
The guy opened the city gate and ran away, but left everyone here to resist the Ming thieves alone.
When Hong Chengchou saw this scene, his heart was already cold.
The Qing army is not in decline now, it is clearly in defeat.
Hong Chengchou now has only one choice, which is to take advantage of the Ming army that has not completely controlled Nanchang, and strive to lead his troops to break through.
If you can't escape, you will definitely be unable to escape and die, and you will suffer inhuman torture.
This is something that Hong Chengchou can't stand.
Jiujiang has been controlled by the Ming army, which is equivalent to cutting off Hong Chengchou's road to the north.
Huguang was in the hands of the Ming army again, so it was impossible to go west.
Now that Hong Chengchou and Geng Jimao have completely broken up, it is impossible to go to Fujian in the east.
Hong Chengchou had only one option left to escape, which was to flee south and escape to Ganjiang River.
The Ganjiang River is the southern gate of Jiangxi. If the Ganjiang River cannot be defended, Hong Chengchou can still escape to Guangdong.
Although Shang Kexi also withdrew his troops to Guangdong, he did not turn against Hong Chengchou after all.
Hong Chengchou felt that as long as he spoke, Shang Kexi could still accept him.
Of course, Hong Chengchou is now aiming to go to Ganjiang.
He felt that with the natural danger of Ganjiang, he could still defend the other one.
...
...
After making the decision, Hong Chengchou immediately sent an order to prepare for a breakthrough.
Since it was a breakthrough, it was naturally a small-scale area, Hong Chengchou decided to only notify his confidant in the Biaoying camp and the Eight Banners soldiers.
The fewer people walk, the easier it is to succeed.
After all, most of the Qing soldiers were still kept in the dark and would fight the Ming army that was sieging the city to death.
In this way, Hong Chengchou will have the opportunity to get out of troubled waters, just like Geng Jimao did.
Although it is very inauthentic to abandon the main force of the green camp and run away, Hong Chengchou did not hesitate at all.
The so-called "Daoist" who dies is not dead, as long as he is not dead, the Qing Dynasty will still have infinite hope.
He lived not only for himself, but also for the Qing Dynasty and the emperor.
I hope the emperor can understand his hard work and be loyal.
Since he decided to go south, Hong Chengchou planned to break through the south gate.
Although the distance between the South Gate and the West Gate was relatively close, since the Ming army was focused on controlling the West Gate, they would not notice the actions of the South Gate Qing army.
Although those green camps were useless, they could still hold the Ming army back for a while.
Hong Chengchou fought a time difference.
...
...
Hong Chengchou was indeed good as expected.
The person responsible for attacking the South Gate was King Li Dingguo of Jin.
After Li Dingguo learned that the emperor had sent the Hu Ben army to rush into Ximen, he also sent a lot of troops to assist.
On the one hand, it helped the Ming army control Ximen faster, and on the other hand, it was also showing loyalty to the emperor.
After all, this battle was a major battle between all the factions of the Ming army and the Qing army.
There is no harm without comparison.
Li Dingguo naturally hoped to compare the Thirteen Kuidong families with Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan.
As a subject, whoever is more important in the mind of the emperor will be more respected by the emperor.
Li Dingguo naturally did not think that he was worse than others, but he still had the attitude he should have. After all, the emperor was the one who judged and decided on all this.
But his decision caused a much smaller number of troops gathered in the south of the city.
The Ming army was completely unprepared when the Qing army opened the city gate. When the cavalry roared out, Li Dingguo woke up as if he was dreaming.
"Come on, quickly form a formation to stop the Tartars."
It is not too late to repair the sheep.
No matter what, Li Dingguo still had to do his best to block the Qing army.
Even if you let a fewer Qing soldiers go.
Li Dingguo's army was a combination of infantry and cavalry.
Compared with pure infantry, it is more mobile when assembled.
However, the Qing army, with the Eight Banners Cavalry as the vanguard, broke through very sharply and quickly pulled out a hole in the Ming army formation.
"hiss!"
Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo had already realized it.
The Qing army that broke through should be the main force in Nanchang City.
His ideas were further supported in terms of the number of troops.
The number of Qing troops breaking through was obviously not large, which shows that Hong Chengchou should have cut off his arms to survive, and he would abandon most of the Green Camp soldiers in order to escape and ascend to heaven.
Li Dingguo's heart sank.
If Hong Chengchou was let go, all the efforts he had made before would be in vain.
Not only will he not make any contribution, he may be blamed by the emperor.
"Stop Hong Thief at all costs!"
Li Dingguo shouted loudly, clamped his legs and rushed towards the direction of the Qing army breaking through.
"Personal soldiers come with me!"
Li Dingguo mobilized all elite troops to rush towards the Eight Banners Army, and was ready to fight to the end.
...
...
"Those who block me will die!"
Seeing that the Ming army had gathered again to stop it, the Eight Banners soldiers drew out their horizontal sword and slid down hard.
A Ming army infantry was cut open his throat and fell to the ground in pain.
Regarding the horse battle, the Eight Banners are not targeting anyone, everyone sitting is rubbish!
"Those who block me will die!"
The Eight Banners soldiers emphasized again.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria's understanding of riding and shooting is different from that of the Mongols.
The Eight Banners of Manchuria emphasize the use of bodies, weapons and firearms.
Sometimes, although it relies on a brute force, it can indeed achieve miracles with great force.
Since entering the pass, this Eight Banners soldier has been following the army to fight south and north, and has been used to the cowardice of the Ming army.
Although the situation has reversed and the Ming army is becoming stronger and stronger, they still look down on the Ming army from the bottom of their hearts.
It’s just relying on the number of people to build up and relying on the number of people to gain weight.
If the Eight Banners Army were as many as the Ming Army, it would definitely be impossible to defeat the Ming Army!
If you have more than a dozen, then forget it.
Survive first to preserve your strength is the king.
The Eight Banners soldier controlled the reins with one hand and reaped his life with a big knife in his other hand.
