Chapter 65 Next stop, Quang Ninh
Zu Kefa is not without chance.
They had just entered the city, and two hundred meters away from behind was the open city gate. The wide street at their feet led directly to the city gate. Although there were 20,000 troops in Yutian City, there were only a few hundred Wu Sangui's slaves around them. If the speed was fast enough, the defenders on the city wall would not have time to react.
He brought the elite cavalry of the Manzhou Province of 100 Zhenghuang Banners. Although he did not carry the main combat weapons such as spears, the swords they carried were enough to fight. At this time, relatives could not take care of it. The Ming army would lose the significance of negotiations in the capture of Jinzhou. What's more, the dog emperor also killed Abatai and the elite of 10,000 Eight Banners. The relationship between the two sides could be said to be endless. Although Wu Sangui would not kill him, he could not stand it even if he cut his nose and ears like Fan Wencheng. Li Yutian, who did such a thing, is the current chief assistant.
If such a thing happened, his subordinates had to die.
This way, even if he can go back alive, there will be no good results.
Since that's the case, just try to kill his cousin or steal Abatai's head back, it's a great contribution. Everyone is fighting on the battlefield, and decisive killing is a necessary quality. While yelling the order, the first knife failed, and the willow-leaf scimitar slashed down while Wu Sangui had not yet drawn the knife. Although Wu Sangui's reaction was fast, he was caught off guard. Just when he was rushing to draw the knife, his cousin slashed his back with a knife. Fortunately, there was a layer of chain mail protection, which only caused him a little bit of minor injuries. At this time, Wu Sangui also pulled out the knife, endured the pain behind him, and stabbed his cousin under the ribs with one knife. Zu Kefa swung the knife to block it, and at the same time quickly turned around and wanted to run away. However, at the same time, a goose-ling knife suddenly hit his ribs, and then stabbed it all the way to the hilt.
Zu Kefa screamed.
Then he reached out and grabbed Wu Weihua's clothes that sneaked into him.
"You bastard!"
He said with difficulty.
The latter grinned and stirred up the Yanling Knife.
Zu Kefa let go of his hand with a look of grief and anger, and fell to the horse with his loyalty to our Qing Dynasty.
"Yes, I'll plead for you."
Wu Sangui patted Wu Weihua on the shoulder and said.
After saying that, he glanced at his cousin with a sigh, and then urged the horse to step over his cousin without hesitation, leading the soldiers who arrived behind to kill the Qing army who were trying to rush out of Yutian. Wu Weihua also waved the Yanling sword and brought his four personal soldiers to join the battle. A melee started on the streets of Yutian.
The elite cavalry of the 100 Huangqi Manzhou showed their bravery at this critical moment of life and death. They fought fiercely with the Ming army on the streets of Yutian for more than ten minutes before they were annihilated, and even caused nearly 200 casualties to Wu Sangui. There were also three who were originally at the end of the team who rushed out before the city gate was closed, but two were shot to death, and only one escaped.
Unfortunately, Lord Luo died in the chaos of the army.
The Grand Tutor of the Qing Dynasty, the Grand Tutor of the Grand Tutor of the Qing Dynasty, did not know who killed him. Anyway, he didn't know who slashed him with a knife, so he fell off the horse and there was no more. There was another special envoy, namely Princess Kunxing's fiancé, Zhou Shixian, the princess whom Chongzhen had originally appointed, was also trampled to death by the horse. The princess Zhou was not very good at saying that his literary talent was in a state of elegance, but this kind of occasion was obviously not suitable for him. The horse he rode in a panic was knocked down by the Qing army. Before he could get up, a slave of Wu Sangui who was pursuing the Qing army, the horse's hooves fell down, and the result was...
"I need to choose another prince consort!"
Yang Feng said speechlessly.
Of course, even if Prince Zhou is not trampled to death by a horse, this guy cannot be taken, after all, it is still stained.
"Does Pingxibo have a son?"
Yang Feng asked Liang Cheng.
“Yes, I’m ten years old this year.”
Well, forget it, ten-year-old Wu Yingxiong looked up at his elder sister. This picture is so beautiful. Zheng Chenggong can't do it either. He has become his godson. You can't marry a sister, right? Besides, he has a wife. It's too incredible to have no wife in this 20 years. Zheng Jing will leave at this time and is about to come to meet the emperor's grandfather. Among the remaining confidants, Li Yutian's wife and children at home don't know how to live or die! His Ganzhou family has long been cut off from news, as for the others...
"Your Majesty, the princess asks to serve you."
Liang Cheng said.
"Then let her do it!"
Yang Feng said casually.
He was not worried that this cheap daughter would see any flaws. In fact, Princess Kunxing met Chongzhen several times a year, probably not as many as Wang Yongji. The imperial family would not be as good as in TV series as in the TV series. In fact, it is not easier for them to see their father and the emperor than the ministers. Especially, the workaholics like Chongzhen and old-fashioned, even if they have to abide by a lot of special etiquettes between father and daughter, let alone the daughter. It is normal for Princess Kunxing to ask to serve him at this time. The only father and daughter are left in the family. This is filial piety as a daughter. If he refuses, it is also abnormal. After all, there is no one around him now.
Huang Ying was still in Shanhaiguan, this very scheming little woman had already been in his politeness at this time. If Emperor Yang had been in Shanhaiguan for so long, he would have been too proud of his control.
However, it is always bad for the emperor to take over a woman in person, even the emperor has to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Well, his soldiers are not suffering.
After capturing Jinzhou, more than 2,000 female bannermen were captured!
Don’t understand it or not!
The Ming army soldiers have been very excited these days, but the emperor is not able to participate in it due to his identity.
Soon Yang Feng threw this matter aside. He didn't have the time to bother these love affairs of his children now, and a lot of military and national affairs are waiting to be dealt with.
It is estimated that Dorgon must attack Jidong, otherwise the princes and ministers in Chenyang City would not have spitted him to death. As for how to fight, it would be fine to Wu Sangui. Li Yutian was in charge of logistics behind him, so they would not have any problems if they were old partners. Moreover, the sea route was unobstructed at this time. Huang Fei and Zheng Zhilong's fleets were accompanied by two eunuchs, as well as Shi Kefa and Song Quan and Feng Yuanyang, who were specially ordered by Yang Feng to assist the governor, ensured that the materials from the south were continuously transported, at least this year's logistics supply would not have any problems. There was money, food, and an army of more than 100,000. Wu Sangui probably had no problem defending Jidong.
Lao Wu's combat power is still OK.
His tens of thousands of men were all composed of the former Guanning Army, Shanhaiguan Army, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang Army. They were all regular troops. In terms of soldiers, they were even stronger than the ones that Yang Feng led the imperial army to fight in person. Yang Feng's main force was Ningyuan Army, and there were also those naval troops who had landed on ashore. The former was of course elite, and they all followed the emperor many times and were fought through Ningyuan's bloody battles, but those naval troops must be considered as the combat power in the imperial guards. Of course, even the lowest-ranking army would be invincible with His Majesty the Emperor.
Besides, even if Wu Sangui can't defend Jidong, there is Shanhaiguan behind him.
What's more, he can rush there at any time.
And his next goal is Guangning.
All the Qing army fled from Jinzhou to Guangning. At this time, the two cities of Guangning and Jinzhou were west of the Liaohe River. This prosperous land where millions of Han people lived and countless cities was destroyed. People either killed or captured as slaves, and the city was directly demolished and razed to the ground. This extinction-style destruction was accompanied by the footsteps of the Qing army. Both the wild boar skin and Huangtaiji were smart people. They were well aware of the true meaning of fusion, that is, burning everything, killing everything and then snatching it. Until the Kangmazi era, officials in this area lamented the abandoned fortress of the deserted city, ruins, fertile land, and no one was there.
Huang Taiji was so happy to demolish it back then, but now it has put the Qing army in embarrassment. Originally, their best way was to defend the eastern front and rely on the dense north-south rivers in western Liaoning from Jinzhou to the east to block the Daling River, Raoyang River, and Liaohe. At this time, there was no Shuangtaizi River. It was divided by the Liaohe River later, but these three rivers were enough. However, if there was no city, they would be noisy. The series of fortresses built by the Ming army back then were demolished? I guess those guys in Shenyang City were also crying without tears at this time!
And Guangning is the only fruitful one.
Defending Guangning can at least threaten the flanks of the Ming army. Because it has been in the long run, the number of bannermen is more than that of Jinzhou. If you collect some old, weak, sick and disabled people on the spot, it is estimated that there will be no problem for Tunqi to raise 20,000 defenders. The core is about 10,000 real Eight Banners Army.
If Guangning can be captured, then Yang Feng can use cavalry to block the connection between Shenyang and Beijing. At this time, there is not a modern and developed transportation system. At this time, if you enter Shenyang, if you do not walk through the western Liaoning Corridor, you will simply go from the northern end of the Yiwulu Mountains, and then turn south to the Rehe Mountains, which is the route Dorgon originally took to enter the pass. Once the Ming army occupied Guangning, then this line can be cut off directly. From Guangning to Weng, that is, Fuxin, there is not much distance. A hunting cavalry can lock it, and even directly threaten the Xinmin area.
If he blocks this path, it will be difficult for Fulin to enter the pass.
Yang Feng just wants to get rid of the firewood from the cauldron.
He lured Dorgon into the pass in various ways, and of course, the main forces of the Eight Banners.
Then he forced himself to cut the army and their rear, turning the Qing army in the inner palace into an isolated army, allowing Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui to hold them back, and slowly he cleaned up the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were left behind, completely cut off the roots of the Eight Banners. Without the roots, how long can the Eight Banners survive? His vicious plan had been planned long ago, and he was not sure if he had to slaughter more than 100,000 Eight Banners, but after luring all the young and middle-aged people who could be beaten into the inner palace, it was easy for him to bully the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. After shoveling the roots, he would not play the remaining Eight Banners in the inner palace.
"Transfer the order and march into Guangning!"
Yang Feng stood up and said.
Chapter completed!
