The overwhelming heavy artillery bombardment and dense rockets opened the attack channel for the Ming army!
The Ming army's offensive troops took advantage of the situation and launched a charge!
Amid the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the Ming army attacked in one attack and captured the Qing army's first line of defense outside Wulong Town.
A large number of Qing soldiers dropped their weapons and turned around to run away.
Or simply kneel on the ground and become a prisoner of war!
The Zheng army, which was originally quite weak on the battlefield, launched a fierce pursuit of the fleeing Qing army, and even almost captured the Qing army's second line of defense.
On the other hand, the Guangfu Army and the Guiyi Army did not advance any further after taking down the Qing Army's first line of defense.
Instead, they began to repair on the spot and prepare for the next round of offensive.
Zheng Chenggong stood on the high platform in the camp, looking in the direction of Oolong Town, his face a little dark.
Seeing the completely different performance of Zheng Jun now and his previous performance on the battlefield, there was only one adjective left in his mind, that is, dog versus man!
When there was no Liberation Army to hold down the formation, they would pull their hips in various ways during the battle, and they would not be able to charge forward every time.
It's good now. As soon as the Liberation Army appeared on the battlefield, their combat effectiveness surged...
Apart from fighting against the power of others, Zheng Chenggong really can't think of a more appropriate adjective!
…
At the top of the city in Ningdu Prefecture, the commander-in-chief of Ganzhou Town, the prefect of Ningdu Prefecture, etc., all looked shocked at the battle situation in Wulong Town.
What impressed them most was the Ming army's continuous heavy artillery bombardment!
The speed is too fast and the attack is too fierce!
How long did it take for Wulong Town's first line of defense to be broken open by artillery shells?
Such density of shelling is unimaginable!
If the Ming army's next offensive is still as fierce, how long can Wulong Town hold on?
If Wulong Town is broken and all the Qing troops in the town are annihilated, can Ningdu Prefecture City be saved?
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
In the city of Ningdu Prefecture, there was a faint feeling of despair, growing in everyone's hearts.
In the next few days, I can only say that the results were as expected.
The Ming army launched a day and night fierce attack on Wulong Town.
The sound of shelling never stopped!
The infantry of both sides fought fiercely. The Qing army's cavalry came out and clashed with the Ming army's cavalry on the battlefield again and again, leaving countless corpses behind.
But no matter how many methods they use, they can't resist the Ming army's offensive!
The Liberation Army attacked the fortress several times, but was unstoppable, and successfully pulled out all the defense lines outside Wulong Town.
The main force of the Qing army was trapped in Wulong Town.
…
Xia Yuankui put down the telescope in his hand, looked back from the direction of Oolong Town, and spoke.
"Send someone to persuade you to surrender!"
"When the fighting has reached this point, I don't believe that the Qing army still has the will to fight!"
Those who were besieged by them were not the Eight Banners soldiers who had a certain share in the Qing court, but a group of green soldiers who were paid to do things and were paid as soldiers.
Surrendering when you can't fight is something difficult to understand?
His lieutenant bowed in response, and then sent an envoy to Wulong Town.
…
Facing the Ming Dynasty's envoys persuading them to surrender, the Qing generals in Wulong Town were also a little moved.
Seeing that they were surrounded in Oolong Town, reinforcements were cut off.
It was only a matter of time before he was eaten by the Ming army!
Instead of waiting to be defeated and captured, and then thrown into a labor camp for prisoner of war rehabilitation, it is better to surrender now and seek leniency.
The two parties negotiated back and forth several times, and finally came to a preliminary intention.
The Qing army surrendered to the Ming army!
First of all, the Ming army must ensure the safety of the surrendered generals and not kill the surrendered soldiers.
Secondly, it is to distribute traveling expenses and severance pay to surrendered soldiers who are unwilling to continue to serve in the army, and allow them to return home.
Then, there were some Qing generals who had no intention of continuing to lead troops on the battlefield and wanted to disarm and return to their fields after surrender.
Some money and resettlement requirements were proposed.
Finally, it was a group of generals who wanted to continue to go on the battlefield and make achievements, and they wanted to continue leading troops after surrendering.
Of course, these surrendered generals can continue to lead troops if they want, but they must go to the Ming Dynasty Royal Lecture Hall Military Academy for further training.
After completing the training, you can be released to lead troops!
Xia Yuankui could make concessions in other aspects, but when it came to military power, he refused to give in.
How much Zhu Hongyu attaches importance to military power, Xia Yuankui, as his close confidant, knows all about it.
He would not get into trouble with Zhu Hongyu on such a matter.
The surrender of Wulong Town sounded the death knell for Ningdu Prefecture.
The scene of 20,000 to 30,000 Qing troops in the town disarming themselves, being bundled together, and being taken to a prisoner-of-war camp really frightened the Qing troops in Ningdu Prefecture.
The whole city of Ningdu Prefecture is filled with people’s hearts and minds!
If the hearts of the people are gone, the city cannot be defended!
After ending the offensive on Wulong Town, the Ming army took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on Ningdu Prefecture.
Amidst the overwhelming roar of heavy artillery, the Ming army launched a charge!
Just when the Ming army's siege troops were about to reach the gates of Ningdu Prefecture, a white flag was raised on the top of Ningdu Prefecture's city.
There was a creaking sound, and the gate of Ningdu Prefecture opened wide.
The defenders in the city chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty at the last moment.
The Ming army took advantage of the situation to attack the city and quickly took control of the city's defenses.
Xia Yuankui looked at the city of Ningdu and let out a hearty laugh.
"Command the army to enter the city!"
"Control the four gates of Ningdu Prefecture, the treasury, the Yamen, the school grounds and other places, clear the order in the city, and prepare to post notices to calm the people..."
Xia Yuankui made a series of arrangements one after another.
After saying this, he added another sentence.
"Notify the brothers below to observe military discipline!"
"If anyone dares to lose control of his hands and feet, or what's in his crotch, and does something that violates military regulations and laws, don't blame the brothers from the Military Justice Department and the Military Police for being ruthless!"
The Liberation Army has always had the highest military discipline. Every time it captured a place, it never burned, killed, looted, raped women and children, or massacred cities and killed people.
Anyone who dares to violate military discipline will be killed by the Military Justice Department without mercy.
The majesty of the military law and discipline of the Liberation Army was built up bit by bit with countless blood and lives.
When Zheng Chenggong heard this, he also opened his mouth and gave instructions.
"Notify the brothers below to pay attention to military discipline!"
"If the crime falls into the hands of the Military Justice Department and the Military Police, I will not be able to save them."
The military law of the Liberation Army was strict, and it was not just against the Liberation Army.
The Zheng Army and the Guiyi Army who accompanied the battle were under the jurisdiction of the Military Law Department and the Military Police.
Zheng Chenggong gave the order casually, but didn't pay much attention.
It's not that he has confidence in the military discipline of Zheng Jun, but that he has confidence in the military discipline of the Liberation Army.
…
The war in Ningdu Prefecture came to an end for the time being. After the main force of the Ming army was freed up, it began to move its troops north along the Gan River and attacked Ji'an Prefecture.
Wherever the army passes, watch the wind and descend!
Fuzhou Prefecture, Yuanzhou Prefecture and other places also sent letters of surrender one after another, and the main force of the Ming army went straight to Nanchang Prefecture.
The situation in Jiangxi changed instantly, and the Ming army achieved a breakthrough.
A large number of local garrison green soldiers cut their braids and changed their banners, and the gentry in local state capitals also chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
In less than half a month, most of Jiangxi's flags were changed!
The only state capitals controlled by the Qing government were Nanchang Prefecture, Jiujiang Prefecture, Guangxin Prefecture and several other prefectures and counties around Poyang Lake.
The soldiers of the Ming army are sharp and the aspirations of the people's hearts are clearly revealed!
The powerful influence of the Jiangxi landlord and gentry class has been fully revealed.
After receiving the promise from Jiangxi, a native of Jiangxi, the local prefectures and counties faced almost no resistance in the face of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers.
