Jolupahana was pulled out of the mud by the rebel soldiers, tied up and sent to the front of the army.

Zhao Boji pointed at Joluo Bahana excitedly, "Sir, this man is a general of the Hu people. The other Hu people call him Baylor."

Wan Jun looked at the mud-covered man in front of him. His scalp was covered with green mud, there was a pigtail hanging on the back of his head, and his whip was also covered in mud.

When Jolupahana saw that Wan Jun was the commander, he looked at Wan Jun with a fierce look and cursed in strange barbarian language.

After scolding for a while, I realized that no one could understand the nonsense, so I switched to Chinese and cursed with a strange accent.

"Idiot, you bastard!"

Wan Jun could understand a little bit of all the dialects. Even if he couldn't understand it, just by looking at the face of Jolu Bahana, he knew that what he said was definitely not a good thing.

Wan Jun frowned and said, "Boji, this barbarian dares to scold me, you kill him for me."

Zhao Boji immediately smiled and said, "That's easy to say!"

After saying that, he kicked Jialuo Bahana in the crook of his leg. Jialuo Bahana, who was cursing angrily, couldn't bear the strength and half-knelt on the ground.

Seeing the other party pull out the knife, Jolupahana stopped shouting and scolding, with a smile of satisfaction on his face.

Zhao Boji slashed with his sword, and when he was about to hit his neck, Wan Jun said, "Wait a minute!"

Zhao Boji's knife almost hit his neck, and he stopped and looked at Wan Jun in confusion.

"This barbarian is a Baile. He may be of use to us. Let's have him captured and we will return to Hankou immediately."

After being captured, Jolupahana wanted to die and deliberately insulted and angered the army. He thought he would die just now, but after the blade was cut, the sound of breaking wind reached his ears, and suddenly there was no movement again. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still alive.

, after waiting for a while, he heard Wan Jun’s words and cursed again.

Zhao Boji turned the blade of the knife and struck Jialuo Bahana in the mouth, "Take this guy down, don't let him die!"

Bai Wang, the surrendered general, followed beside him, as if he was falling into the clouds. In just half a day, from fleeing in embarrassment after being beaten by Jialuo Bahana to annihilating Qing army prisoner Jialuo Bahana, it was like a dream.

Seeing Wan Jun get on his horse, Bai Wang stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "Sir, what should we do?"

Wan Jun turned around and said to Bai Wang, "I almost forgot. Your troops will remain unchanged for the time being. Gather the defeated troops as soon as possible and follow our army back to Hanyang."

When Bai Wang took the order to leave, Wanjun said to Zhao Boji who was accompanying him, "Quickly gather the troops and horses, escort the prisoners back to Hankou, there are still large groups of Hu soldiers and horses in Hanyang, and send people to inform Ziyi and Liu Tichun of their arrival.

Meet at Hankou."

The battle in Hankou had come to an end. By the time Wan Jun and others returned to Hankou, the gunpowder smoke had dissipated in the river wind, and only the corpses everywhere still reminded everyone that there was a tragic battle here not long ago.

Compared with the high spirits of the Chinese army in Hankou, the Shun army in Hanyang was really miserable.

As the red cannons blasted through Hanyang City, the Qing army launched a fierce attack.

Li Zicheng had already begun to retreat according to Song Xiance's plan, but the Qing army was breaking through the city too fast, and now the Shun army could only fill the gap with human lives.

Li Zicheng suddenly understood what Song Xiance said. He was no longer the Chuang King who could wield a sword in battle. After becoming emperor, Li Zicheng was no longer a warrior.

Although Dashun is in a sorry state now, many people have the belief to continue fighting as long as they are alive.

Even though Li Zicheng was unwilling to do so, he could only retreat in panic under the cover of tens of thousands of people. For every moment of delay, ten or even a hundred Dashun soldiers died.

In desperation, the Shun army could only use river boats and retreated to Wuchang City.

By the time the Shun army sacrificed countless soldiers and horses and retreated to Wuchang City, news of the destruction of Joluo Bahana in the north of the Han River had already spread.

The Qing army that had just occupied Hanyang and the shocked Shun army that had retreated to Wuchang City all knew about this. In Hankou, north of the Han River, there was a strong force that defeated the Qing army that had been victorious one after another.

However, in the three towns of Wuhan at this time, 40,000 Qing troops were stationed in Hanyang. After the Shun army was defeated, they retreated to Wuchang, leaving less than 50,000 troops. At this time, the Chinese army in Hankou plus Bai Wang's surrender

The number of soldiers is only fifty thousand.

The three parties maintain a strange tranquility and balance, facing each other across the water in the three cities of Wuhan.

The Qing army lost the part of Jueluo Baha and was unable to launch an attack. They could only choose to wait in Hanyang and wait for reinforcements from Xiangyang or Jiangnan.

The Shun army was guarding Wuchang City, and Li Zicheng only hoped that Li Guo's troops from northern Shaanxi could arrive as soon as possible.

The Chinese army is guarding Hankou, with more than 20,000 rebels, plus 20,000 surrendered troops. The real Chinese army is less than 10,000, and its combat strength is worrying.

Fortunately, the Qing army was intimidated by the momentum of the Chinese army and did not dare to act rashly for a while.

Although reinforcements from one of Chen Bajiao's divisions are arriving, water from afar cannot quench the thirst for nearness. New troops and horses need to be trained and garrisoned in the places occupied by the Chinese army since it sent troops. The strength of Wanjun has reached the limit of expansion.

In the city, which is separated by three buildings and a river, the Qing army and the Huaxia army are facing each other. The current situation depends on whose reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible.

While the three cities of Wuhan fell into silence, news from the outside came one after another.

Before the Huaxia Army and the Qingshun troops fought in Wuchang, Zuo Liangyu had already died of illness in the army. Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Menggeng took over as the commander-in-chief of the army and continued to lead the army southward. He was defeated by Huang Degong in Tongling and later retreated to Jiujiang.

area.

After the Qing army captured Nanjing, Emperor Hongguang fled to Huang Degong's camp in Wuhu. The Qing army pursued him to Wuhu, where Huang Degong died in battle. Emperor Hongguang was captured and soon sent to Beijing.

After the Qing government learned of the news about Azige's West Route Army, it ordered the East Route Army to continue sweeping Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi, and also sent Nicobel and surrendered general Geng Zhongming to lead troops and horses up the river in an attempt to reinforce Azige.

After the Zuo army was defeated by Huang Degong, it occupied Jiujiang for a while. According to the historical process, Yuan Jixian, the right minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty and the censor of the right Qiandu, was in Jiujiang at this time. Zuo Menggeng tried to lure Yuan Jixian into house arrest in the camp, and then took Yuan Jixian to surrender to Hu.

people.

Historically, Zuo Menggeng put Yuan Jixian under house arrest in this way, and then surrendered to the Hu people. However, Yuan Jixian refused to surrender and was executed by the Qing court the next year after being escorted to Beijing.

Unexpectedly, the development of this matter was different from that in history. For some unknown reason, the news of Zuo Menggeng's surrender to the Qing Dynasty suddenly spread among the army. Immediately, Ma Jinzhong, Wang Yuncheng, Ma Shixiu and other generals raised troops to fight against Zuo Menggeng's tribe.

So the left army became a mess and split into two groups fighting each other. The two sides fought in Jiujiang for several days. Soon Ma Shixiu and other generals supported Governor Yuan Jixian and retreated to Changsha, and then joined forces with He Tengjiao.

The remaining troops continued to huddle in Jiujiang under the leadership of Zuo Menggen. When Geng Zhongming led 10,000 Qing troops north along the river, Zuo Menggen still had 200,000 troops under his command, but Zuo Menggen chose to surrender without hesitation.
