Chapter 224 Entering Fujian (5)

 People feel refreshed when happy events occur, and there is no happier event in the world than getting promoted and getting rich.

Guo Tianfeng marched happily on the post road to Nanjing City. After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, he was promoted from guerrilla to general. The army was also expanded. After capturing Dafeng Mountain and Pinghe County, Yan Tianfeng captured the two

More than a thousand prisoners were incorporated into his army, and the army under his jurisdiction expanded from more than 2,000 to more than 4,000.

Marshal Yan once again put his troops at the forefront to attract surrender and rebels.

Along the way, small towns such as Xiaoxi, Luxi, and Hexi all surrendered without a fight. They had no choice but to surrender. There were only a few dozen soldiers in each of these places, so how could they withstand a hundred thousand tigers and wolves?

Guo Tiancai was very proud, thinking that he not only had economic talents, but also used military skills like a god.

"Commander General, ahead is Yongfeng, and after Yongfeng is Nanjing City."

"Going at full speed, we will spend the night in Yongfeng before dark."

The small town of Yongfeng is no more than ten feet high, and the garrison is no more than a thousand people, but it has a fierce general, Zhangzhou Qianzong Liu Guoxuan.

Liu Guo

The bad thing is that because they don't have free pay and no money to honor their superiors, they can't get into the eyes of their superiors. Governor Chen Jin, governor Zhang Xuesheng and others only know that there is a general named Feng Junrui in Zhangzhou Lvying who can fight, and they don't know that there is someone else.

A more capable Mr. Liu Qian.

"Where did the Ming army go?"

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, we are still a hundred miles away from Yongfeng."

"Quick, dig a trench."

Liu Guoxuan had people dig three trenches in front of Yongfeng City, lay them with gunpowder, explosives and other materials, then install match ropes, fill them with soil, and wait for the Ming army.

Guo Tiancai's four thousand army has arrived.

The old rule is to send someone to persuade people to surrender first. He is a businessman and likes to persuade people to surrender without fighting. Just like doing business, the best business is to make profits without capital.

"If you want to fight, then fight, what nonsense!"

Liu Guoxuan scolded the envoy who persuaded him to surrender.

"So brave!"

Guo Tiancai was furious. You actually dared to prevent me from doing a business that was worthless and profitable. I will kill you and bleed like a river.

"Siege the city!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

As the marching drums beat, four thousand Ming troops carried wooden planks and long ladders and began to attack the city.

Liu Guoxuan squinted his eyes, aimed at a Ming army, and lit the cannon.

With a "bang" sound, the Ming army fell to the ground.

The Qing armies in Fujian and Zhejiang were equipped with more firearms. After entering the customs, the Qing army recruited and surrendered hundreds of thousands of Han troops. The Qing government was worried about these surrenders and strictly limited the firearms, especially the number of artillery, of the Green Camp troops. Advanced

The artillery and muskets were given priority to equip the Eight Banners and the Liaodong Han Army. However, there were many pirates and barbarians in the coastal areas. In order to deal with the pirates and barbarians, the Qing armies in Fujian, Zhejiang, and South Zhili still built a lot of firearms.

"Kill!"

Although they were shot down one after another, the Ming army still bravely climbed to the city.

Although Guo Tiancai was not a strong general, he was rich, loyal, and never withheld military pay from his subordinates, so the morale of the Ming army was still very high.

Liu Guoxuan drew his sword and chopped down another soldier, then glanced at the dense crowd of people under the city.

"It's almost time to raise the flag."

The command flag was raised in the city, and the dead soldiers hiding outside the city lit the match.

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom!"

Three trenches, like three fire dragons, exploded in the Ming army array.

Broken arms and limbs were flying all over the sky. Facing the earth-shattering violence, the Ming army was stunned and at a loss.

"Open the city gate and follow me to kill!"

Liu Guoxuan drew his steel sword and led seven hundred sharp soldiers to fight out of the city.

Guo Tiancai's brother Zhang Damao had just reacted when Liu Guoxuan walked towards him and killed him with one blow.

Defeated, defeated like a mountain.

After Guo Tiancai escaped, he counted his troops and found that half of his four thousand soldiers and horses were lost, leaving only more than two thousand men. They had abandoned their helmets and armor, and were in such a state of embarrassment.

"You actually dare to lose the power of our army! Push it out and kill it!"

Ma Bao was furious and wanted to kill Guo Tiancai.

"Headquarters, I think that he has made great contributions since he surrendered, so please spare him from death!"

Guo Tiancai was good at dancing and very popular, and all the generals prayed for him.

"Forget it, I will temporarily exempt you from the death penalty, and you will be punished with meritorious service. Drag me down and give you twenty military sticks."

After defeating Guo Tiancai, Ma Bao personally led his troops to seize Yongfeng City.

Liu Guoxuan asked the scouts sent out: "Have the reinforcements arrived?"

"Reporting to President Qian, there is no news of reinforcements yet."

"Retreat to Nanjing".

Although Liu Guoxuan was brave, he was not confused. He only had a thousand men and horses, and without reinforcements, he would never be able to stop the Ming army.

Hearing that Liu Guoxuan had escaped, Nanjing guerrilla Wang Jin was furious: "Mr. Liu Qian, you dare to abandon the city privately. What crime should you do?"

Wang Jin had long disliked Liu Guoxuan. Among his three thousand bosses, Liu Guoxuan was the only one who never gave him any money. However, he was also good at fighting, and his achievements were great, which also posed a great threat to himself. So he wanted to kill him because of his prestige.
"The last general won a battle first and killed two thousand enemies. The enemy numbered 100,000, and the last general only had a thousand people. How could he stop them? They could only retreat."

The Ming army numbered 100,000!

Wang Jin narrowed his eyes and said, "You lost the city and should have been severely punished. I think you have done meritorious deeds in killing the enemy. Your merits and demerits are balanced and you will not be held accountable. Prepare to defend the city!"

This is the consequence of not giving money to Shangguan. So what if you win the battle? I won’t reward you!

When he heard that the Ming army numbered 100,000, Wang Jin also wanted to retreat to Longxi, the capital of Zhangzhou. But he had just blamed Liu Guoxuan for abandoning the city, so how could he have the nerve to leave without a fight?

Just stay for one day and I will withdraw, Wang Jin thought.

He indeed only lasted for one day. Ma Bao's fifteen thousand vanguards showed him what the elite of the Ming Dynasty was, and they conquered Nanjing in one day.

The Ming army first used archers to cover the river and filled it in. Although Nanjing City was slightly larger than Yongfeng City, it was just a small earthen city and the moat was narrow and small. It only took two hours to fill in the river.< /p>

After filling the river, hundreds of siege vehicles advanced slowly under the cover of rumbling cannon fire, followed by various siege vehicles such as ladder trucks, goose trucks, and ram trucks.

Rushing to the bottom of the city, the infantry came up with the help of ladder vehicles. Archers and island gunners, in groups of three or five, shot at the defenders under the city to cover the infantry siege.

Ma Bao deliberately surrounded three groups and left one in Nanchang to allow the defenders to escape and undermine the enemy's morale.

"Kill!"

Ma Weixing jumped up from the ladder, jumped onto the top of the city, killed several people, and then swung his sword to cut off the "Qing" flag.

"Victory! Victory! Victory!"

The Ming army cheered.

Ma Weixing couldn't bear to be happy, so he killed the city wall and opened the city gate. Ming troops outside the city poured in like a tide.

Wang Jin's face turned pale, he didn't care about his subordinates, he opened the south city gate and ran away desperately.

"Don't be chaotic, follow me and walk in formation!"

Liu Guoxuan roared and led his troops to retreat in formation. Seeing this, other Qing soldiers also retreated.

"Da da da!"

Ma Bao led 500 cavalry to pursue him. He was secretly surprised when he saw that the enemy's formation had not dispersed even though they were defeated.

"Shoot!"

"Boohoo!"

Although the Qing army had many armors and the projectiles did little damage to them, dozens of people could still be knocked down by each wave of arrows.

After the seventh wave of ejections, the Qing army could no longer support it.

"Run quickly!"

I don't know who shouted, and the Qing troops fled for their lives and could no longer form a formation.

When the time came, Ma Bao ordered to charge into battle.

"Kill!"

He was the first to rush towards the Qing army. The spear in his right hand was like a snake, stabbing the enemies to death. The iron whip in his left hand was like smashing watermelons, smashing heads.

Liu Guoxuan sighed, knowing it was irreversible, he stepped up his big feet and ran away.

After escaping to Nanjing City, Wang Jin and Liu Guoxuan's subordinates only had a thousand people left.

??

Hearing that the Ming army actually attacked Longxi City from the northwest, Zhangzhou Qing army general Zu Zeyuan was shocked. He had miscalculated, and the Ming army's main attack direction was completely different from what he expected!

In recent years, the Qing army in Zhangzhou often fought against Zheng Cai and Zhu Chenggong. In the past, the Ming army either came from Haicheng County in the east, or from Yunxiao Town and Pantuoling in the south, and they were all used to it. So this time,

Zu Zeyuan deployed heavy troops in the east and south, and ordered Wang Bangjun, the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou, to guard Haicheng, and his deputy Lian Biao to guard Pantuoling.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army did not follow their own plan and actually crossed Dafeng Mountain, bypassed Hexi, and came from the northwest.

Alas! God hates people!

Zu Zeyuan sighed, originally he was very happy. After the little emperor took charge, he used political means to suppress Dorgon's party members and reward other ministers generously. Zu Zeyuan was originally a reduced general, and Dorgon was re-emphasized.

He suppressed the Han people and couldn't curry favor even if he wanted to. Instead, he got a blessing in misfortune. He even received a favor and was granted the title of first-class Adahahafan by Emperor Shunzhi from the third class Adahaha fan (the sixth class among the nine nobles in the Qing Dynasty).
In fact, Emperor Shunzhi continued to reward Han ministers like Zu Zeyuan, which represented that the Qing government was changing its national policy from "focusing on the Manchus and suppressing the Han" during the Dorgon era to "ruling the Han with Han" after Emperor Shunzhi came into power.<

/p>

This change in policy made Zhu Hengjia very worried. He felt that Emperor Shunzhi was a more powerful opponent than Dorgon, so he took advantage of the fact that Emperor Shunzhi had just taken over the throne and launched a decisive Northern Expedition.

Zu Zeyuan looked at the military map for a while and suddenly shouted: "No!"

The Ming army has already occupied Dafeng Mountain. If a partial division is sent across Nanxi River to outflank the rear of Pantuo Ridge, Lian Biao's troops stationed at Pantuo Ridge will be in danger!

Things in the world are often like this: good things don’t work but bad things work!

??

"Quick! Cheer up and march quickly! If you capture Pantuo Ridge, I will be rewarded heavily!"

Hao Yongzhong, Nan'an Bo of the Ming Dynasty, roared at the top of his lungs. He was originally a surrendered general of the Dashun Army. He was recruited by He Tengjiao when he was in Huguang. Because he liked to charge with a big flag in battle, he was known as Hao Yaoqi.

After Yan Tianfeng easily captured Dafeng Mountain, he saw the fighter plane at a glance. He ordered Hao Yongzhong to lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to the rear of Pantuoling, and cooperated with Dinghai Hou Sungui's navy to outflank the Qing army Lian Biao's troops. He led 80,000 troops to directly attack the Qing army.

Take Zhangzhou Prefecture to control Longxi.

Sun Gui, Marquis of Dinghai, originally had a naval force of 36,000. After recruiting Zhu Chenggong, the force increased to 48,000. At this time, the main naval force of the Qing army was still on the Jin and Xia Islands in Quanzhou, and the Zhangzhou Navy could not

Hundreds of people.

Sun Gui's many soldiers bullied his few soldiers, and he conquered Xuanzhong Suo, Nanzhao Suo, Zhao'an County, Tongshan Suo, and Yunxiao Town. He also sent Zhou Rui, the Marquis of Min'an, to capture Liu'ao Suo, Zhenhaiwei, and Zhongxiao Bozhu successfully captured them.

Zhangpu County, annihilated three thousand enemies.

Sun Gui led 20,000 naval troops to land to the east and south of Pantuo Ridge; Hao Yongzhong led 20,000 land troops to the north and west of Pantuo Ridge. The two armies successfully joined forces, and the 40,000-strong army general Qing Zhangzhou Deputy General Lian

Biao's five thousand men and horses were completely surrounded.

On May 6, the twenty-fourth year of Chongzhen reign in the Ming Dynasty, the battle of Pantuoling began.

Lian Biao was famous for being good at escaping in the Zhangzhou green camp. Three years ago, Zhu Chenggong attacked Tong'an. After he and Zhe Guangqiu were defeated, he ran hundreds of miles and successfully saved his life.

This time, I didn’t have the good luck last time. I was surrounded from all sides, and I couldn’t escape even if I wanted to.

He wanted to surrender, but he didn't dare. His family members were all in Fuzhou, and the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, Chen Jinke, was a ruthless person. When he thought that because of his surrender, his son would be killed and his daughter would be sent to Ninggu Pagoda to be a slave in armor, Lian

Biao then shuddered.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The loud charge horn sounded.

The Ming army formed a group of five and came up the mountain from all directions.

"Throw the rolling logs! Throw rocks! Hit them hard!"

Lian Biao raised a big stone high and threw it down the mountain.

Another attack on the mountain was repulsed.

Sun Gui ordered: "Unload the cannons on the ship and let me blast them!"

The Ming army carried heavy artillery up the nearby hillside and fired fiercely at the main peak of Pantuo Ridge!

The mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood made the setting sun look particularly red, and the banner with the word "Qing" was knocked down.

Lian Biao shouted, "Chen Duxian, I will be worthy of the Qing Dynasty. Please treat my family well" and wiped his neck.

Hao Yongzhong carries the banner and goes up the mountain to fight, which has become a hobby for him.

He set up the banner and suddenly saw Lian Biao's body standing stiffly with blood still on his neck. He kicked him down and said, "You dog Tatar, you still have the nerve to die standing up!"
