"Congratulations to Lord Guoxing! That thief Duoduo has been awarded the title! Lord Guoxing, you are truly blessed and blessed with martial arts. Protect me from the Great Ming Dynasty to recreate the universe and restore my enlightenment!"

"We wanted to capture him alive, but he and the guards around him fought fiercely and refused to surrender, so we had to shoot at random. We wanted to overthrow the bondage, but they were confiscated and stopped."

At nightfall, as Cao Bianjiao personally led the team back to make contributions, the news of Duoduo's conferring the head was completely spread throughout the Ming army's central army formation, and there was thunderous cheers for a while.

Some people didn't know how to live or die, and even booed and shouted long live in front of Zhu Shuren's surroundings, which really scared Zhu Shuren a lot.Fortunately, the other party did not add a title, but it can also be interpreted as celebrating the long live of Ming Dynasty, which is enough to cover up the past.

"Guo Xing Ye is such a man of culture and martial arts, wise and powerful, since he led the army, he has never been defeated! Sure enough, it's not that I can't do it, it's because the first emperor didn't let Guo Xing Ye take control of the overall situation, and what Guo Xing Ye couldn't control That's how corrupt it is!" The uneducated generals around Zhu Shuren all praised him wildly, pouring out good words like they don't want money.

And Gu Yanwu and other civil servants were not to be outdone, and followed the dropped book bags to sing praises:

"It's still a sage today, with an open mind like a valley, a gentleman is not a weapon, and the military power of the world is delegated to the president of the country, and the employer is not suspicious. Sun Tzu said, the one who can be able but the king does not defend him wins, this is what it means!
As long as we Han people can share the same hatred against the enemy, unite as one, and do not suspect civil strife, the hundreds of thousands of Tartars in the district will not be wiped out! "

Although Zhu Shuren has a humble personality, it feels good to be praised so occasionally.

This is killing Duo Duo, can't you have a good time?

However, after all, he is a person with extraordinary self-control, and after enjoying it for a while, he beat the generals:
"Although Duoduo is dead, there are still some remnants of the enemy who have not been chased and wiped out. The soldiers should not slack off. It is advisable to chase the remaining brave bandits. Wanyan Yechen, Zhang Cunren and others, I don't want any of them to go back alive! After a few days, they will be victorious and return to the court. It's not too late to congratulate!"

Cao Bianjiao and other generals were also taken aback. From their point of view, in this land south of the Yangtze River, the enemy is already a turtle in the urn. Duoduo is dead. How can the rest escape?Is it possible to fly across the Yangtze River with wings?

But being reminded by Lord Guoxing, they also put away their temporary ecstasy and decided to finish the battle with the wind.

Zhu Shuren's prediction was indeed correct. Although it is impossible for the remnants of the Qing army to cross the river and escape as an organization, it is still possible to break it up into parts, pretend to be deserting soldiers, and pass the customs in a small number.

Because Duoduo's target was too big, and it was the focus of the Ming army's main pursuit, with the pull of the battle line just now, the Qing army's north and south wings were deviated, and the troops were quite broken.

The Ming army should have the remaining courage to pursue the poor bandits, and continued to pursue them until late at night, and had to take a break and fight again the next day.

Of the 4 main forces of the Qing army brought by Doduo, at least [-] were killed, wounded, annihilated, surrounded, and forced to land during the decisive battle and subsequent pursuit on this day, but several thousand people managed to retreat and escape.

The Mongolian army flag on the north wing rode lightly with one or two Jiala, fled directly to the Yangtze River, and broke them into pieces. The Ming army will waste a lot of time in the follow-up to search and suppress.

Among them, there are many examples of individuals who stole small boats to cross the river, or tried to cross the river by rafting, drowned in the river, or were intercepted and killed by the navy of the Ming army.

Li Chengdong's new traitor army on the southern wing was the first to collapse. Although the casualties were heavy and the prisoners were heavy, those who fled desperately escaped the battlefield and returned to the Qing army camp outside Jiangyin City——

Because after Li Chengdong's collapse, Jiang Shou Delin was eager to settle the overall situation, and immediately turned his guns to flank the weak spot of Duoduo's army on the south side, and didn't care about chasing small fish like Li Chengdong.

He was the first to break down, but was noticed at the end and tried to chase him, so naturally he escaped the farthest.

In the Jiangyin camp, there were originally three or four thousand second-line troops of the Qing army, plus the wounded and sick soldiers accumulated in the previous battles, combined with the few cavalry routs who fled back and Li Chengdong's pro-army, all added together, in Jiangyin University The camp regrouped 4000 men.

However, the 4000 main force has been completely defeated. What kind of waves can these [-] people make?What's more, the wounded and sick accounted for more than half of them.

In the middle of the night, the Qing army discussed whether they should abandon the camp and flee, but the princes were all dead, and no one would obey anyone without a leader. There was no result.

Li Chengdong was anxious and angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. His troops had been fighting and fleeing for a day, and they were exhausted, so he ignored the noise of the camp guards and let the troops go to bed and rest in the middle of the night.

It was impossible for the Ming army to pursue day and night, and they had to rest, so it took until the morning of the next day, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, to continue to advance and approach the Qing army camp in the west of Jiangyin City.

……

After a night of rest and waiting, the Qing army guarding the camp finally gradually confirmed that Wanyan Yechen and Zhang Cunren also failed to escape.

At the same time, the defeated generals who fled back from the Doduo Central Army also brought back a new bad news, which almost caused a new civil strife within the Qing army.

"The prince's disastrous defeat was because Li Chengdong had colluded with the Ming army in advance and had secretly agreed to surrender. During the decisive battle, he withdrew the southern line and allowed the Ming army to cross the Hengtang River and beat the prince's southern weakness. This led to the collapse of the Chinese army!"

These remarks are almost the unified statement of the Duduo Chinese Army generals who escaped back. Obviously, when they finally collapsed, they were all deceived by the Ming army's disintegration and aggressive words.

After hearing about this, the Manchu and Mongolian generals left behind in the camp were naturally in an uproar.

Because the commander-in-chief of the other banner was also taken away by Duoduo, the highest-ranking Manchu general that can be found in the camp and escaped successfully is only Beizi Shangshan, who is at the level of deputy banner leader.

The rest of the generals naturally only followed Shang Shan's lead, and asked Shang Shan to summon Li Chengdong immediately, throw a cup as a sign and kill him to prevent civil strife.

Shang Shan was dizzy from the quarrel, and felt that something was wrong, but he was also afraid of getting elbows and armpits, so he agreed in a daze.

Li Chengdong on the opposite side fled early because he didn't know the rumors spread by the Ming army when the Duoduo army was killed, so he didn't suspect him and came directly.

He was also apprehensive, thinking that Shang Shan was going to blame him for being the first to be defeated in the decisive battle, which led to messing up the friendly troops, and silently recited the lines to excuse the crime in his heart along the way.

However, these lines were of no use at all. As soon as he entered the tent of the Chinese army, Shang Shan just tried to stabilize him with a few false and persuasive words, and was led to take a seat on the side seat.

Seeing that Li Chengdong was just sitting on the saddle, the sword around his waist had to be untied because his body squatted low and hit the ground.Shang Shan waved his hand immediately, and immediately a swordsman came out to hold Li Chengdong down.

Li Chengdong was startled, and quickly jumped up to take the sword, but he was restrained by all hands and feet.

"Master Bei, what do you mean! Our army was defeated just now and you still want to fight against each other? It is true that the last general is guilty of defeat first, but it is more than that!" Li Chengdong was shocked and angry, and yelled sharply.

"Li Chengdong, you colluded with the barbarians, betrayed the court, and betrayed the prince. Don't you think we don't know? The remnants of the Chinese army who fled back, everyone said that you colluded with the barbarians and deliberately let Jiang Shoudelin grow up across the Hengtang River. Sneak attack on the prince's flank!"

Li Chengdong yelled: "I was wronged! It was the Ming army who deployed heavy artillery in the muddy field on the southern flank, and the bombardment caused our army to lose its foothold by the river, so we retreated. I didn't expect that the troops would be unable to hold back as soon as they retreated." It’s over, it’s because I’m not strict with my command, I’m not effective in governing the army, and I can’t order and stop it, but how can I talk about surrendering to the enemy? If I surrender to the enemy, will I come back now?”

"The Southern barbarians can flexibly deploy heavy artillery to the front as the battlefield moves in the field? How is this possible?" Shang Shan looked incredulous.

Li Chengdong: "Bei Zi doesn't believe it. You can isolate our lieutenant general and school, and ask them one by one about the whole story of being shelled. If they disagree, I am willing to obey the law!"

Shang Shan was undecided for a while, so he asked people to make a quick and brief inquiry. It was really the unexpected shelling of the Qing army on the southern wing that caused them to retreat and abandon the Hengtang River defense line.

But the two sides have already torn each other, and Shang Shan is also a little bit stuck-now that Li Chengdong has such a bad relationship with him, even if he can say good words to appease him, the other party may not be willing to help him to death.

He also just said coyly: "General Li, don't blame me, no matter what, your crime of defeating first is real, and the beating and capture of Ben Beizi just now can't forgive your crime!
Besides, even if it is an internal response from the Ming army, it may not be possible that they will not return to my camp. "

At this point, Li Chengdong didn't have the heart to argue with Shang Shan anymore, he knew that the two sides had already left a rift, and he just wanted to plan how to survive from death.

Being accused by Shang Shan, he also had a flash of inspiration, and pushed the boat forward: "Since Beizi still refuses to trust me to stay in the camp, I will lead the army to break through first! It can be regarded as killing a bloody path for Beizi and his colleagues. My mind!

I would like to lead my troops around Jiangyin City and break through to Luyuan and other places, as many as I can kill!If they stay here now, they will be completely surrounded and wiped out by the Ming army within a few days! "

As Li Chengdong said, he pointed to the west. The Ming army's pursuers were already very close. Last night, because they were exhausted, the Ming army had to sleep, and they started chasing again this morning.

It's just that the Qing army has been stationed in the west of Jiangyin City for more than half a month, and the camp is also very strong, so the Ming army did not immediately attack by force when they defended the camp.

While they were chatting at this moment, sporadic artillery fire could already be vaguely heard. It was obviously the new light cavalry artillery of the Ming army, which was gradually transported to the front line with the main force and was about to be fully deployed.

After listening to Li Chengdong's words, Shangshan also realized that the quarrel last night was completely meaningless. It is useless to think about the strategy of defending the camp now. The complete fiasco is absolute. The only meaningful thing is to find a way to break it into pieces and escape a few more go out.

So he also nodded: "Okay, as you said, I order you to go around the north of the city, divide the troops into two places, block the Ming army in the Dazhai on the top of Huanggong Mountain, and the north gate of Jiangyin City, and organize Yan Yingyuan to go out of the city to intercept. He will lead Qingqi around the north of Jiangyin City to Luyuan Port.

As long as you can protect me from bypassing Jiangyin City and return to Jiangbei alive, I will collude with you and pass the blame for the defeat to other generals who have no evidence of death.Otherwise, even if you fled back to Jiangbei alone, you will not be able to escape for the crime of the prince's death in battle! "

Hearing this, Li Chengdong almost gritted his teeth, but he knew that he had no choice but to gamble, because if none of the other senior generals survived and he returned alive, Dorgon would also be beheaded.

There is no shortage of generals like him now, and they are not worth much.If you save a high-ranking Manchu and go back, maybe there is still a way to survive.

But if Shangshan turned his face after escaping and refused to help him cover up his mistakes, he would be very passive.It's a pity that he has no choice at all now.

……

After Li Chengdong promised, the Qing army in the Jiangyin camp soon became turbulent. Some wounded, sick and disabled soldiers were left in the camp without being notified. They were only ordered to stick to the camp.

Shang Shan and Li Chengdong have already started to arrange for their escape.About half an hour later, as several more cavalry guns from the Ming army were brought in, and the firepower preparations became more intense, Shang Shan and Li Chengdong finally led 5000 men, abandoned the army to break through, and headed east.

As mentioned earlier, when Duoduo was still alive, he opposed this kind of move around the city, because the roads around Jiangyin were narrow and muddy, and the road bypassing the north of the city would be intercepted and flanked by the Ming army. Cut off, the head and the tail cannot look at each other.

But now, Shang Shan is ready to completely abandon the rear troops as human shields, and if they are divided, they will be divided, and the few who can escape alive are counted.

Therefore, to be honest, if they are willing to fight to the last soldier at this moment, then relying on the camp and the last more than 1 people, it is possible to consume thousands of lives of the Ming army in the camp defense battle.

After all, the fighting power of the Qing army is still elite, and the defensive side still has a good location. Even if there are many wounded soldiers, two or three lives can definitely be exchanged for one life of the Ming army.

But everyone has the desire to survive, and Shang Shan doesn't care if he can exchange the lives of thousands of Ming troops before his entire army dies, he just wants to fight for a chance to survive.

Therefore, all the wounded and sick soldiers he left in the camp, as well as the second-line miscellaneous fish belly, directly became the food for the Ming army to pursue.

The pursuit of the Ming army did not immediately discover that the remnants of the Qing army had fled for their lives, and they still attacked step by step.When the Ming army rushed up, the Qing army was already on the verge of collapse.

In the end, the battle lasted only one day, and then it was over again. The Ming army only killed hundreds of people, and wiped out 7000 people in the battalion.

The part taken away by Shang Shan and Li Chengdong was as much as six or seven thousand.

However, Yan Yingyuan, who had been trapped in Jiangyin City, had always been very keen.

Although he was still surrounded by the Qing army in the past few days, he had already noticed from the chaos of the Qing army that Duoduo's main force might have been frustrated.

He was in the north of Jiangyin City, and people had been keeping a close eye on the main roads around the city. Now that the Qing army was turning around, he also had the courage to order Kaesong to attack and intercept it.

The other guards in the city were all taken aback when they heard the words: "Master Futai, don't be reckless! Before we were besieged, the task assigned to us by Guo Xingye was just to defend the city, which is a great achievement. If you rush out of the city to fight in the field, will you win? A trick of the Qing army? This can’t be deceit!”

Yan Yingyuan sternly encouraged his subordinates: "The sound of guns in the west of the city is like this. Since yesterday, there are still so many rebels leaving and returning to the camp. It must be that the Qing army has been completely defeated! They just want to escape for their lives now!

We've been holding back for so long, so let's give them a hard time!Otherwise, if they are allowed to enter Suzhou, how many people will be harmed! "

The generals stopped talking now, and they also knew that if the enemy was let go of the Jiangyin line of defense, other economically prosperous places would also be infiltrated, killed and looted, and the damage to the economy would definitely not be small.

At this point in the battle, although the Ming army had no way of sending messengers directly through the besieged city to deliver letters to the Jiangyin defenders, with the help of binoculars, everyone could more or less see the progress of the battle.

In the end, everyone quickly discussed a set of deployments: Yan Yingyuan continued to defend the city to ensure that there were no accidents, and the deputy general Chen Mingyu led troops out of the city to intercept and kill the Qing army passing by from the north of the city.

Once fraud was discovered, such as when the Qing army turned around and defeated Chen Mingyu and wanted to take the opportunity to seize the city, then Yan Yingyuan would not open the door to respond, lest the overall situation be ruined and the city gate of Jiangyin be seized.

Chen Mingyu had to rely on his own strength to fight the Qing army to the end!Survive yourself!

Chen Mingyu also knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavy, so he selected thousands of dead soldiers, each drank three bowls of spirits, and dropped the bowl, then led the troops out of the city, and promised Yan Yingyuan:
"Yanfutai don't worry! If the Tartars are cheating, I will not ask you to open the door and let the enemy join us when the last soldier dies! In the future, remember to kill a few more Tartars to avenge your brothers. Fentou just tell us the news that the enemy army will be wiped out in the end!"

After throwing the wine bowl, Chen Mingyu led the Jiangyin righteous men to open the door and attacked like a mad tiger, rushing directly to the trail below Huanggong Mountain, and stuck between Shang Shan and Li Chengdong, fighting against the Qing army who wanted to escape around the city. in one place.

The Ming army on Huanggongshan Dazhai saw that the Jiangyin defenders had attacked decisively, so they were naturally not to be outdone, and immediately killed and intercepted.

The Huanggongshan Ming army was backed by the Jiangyin Wharf by the Yangtze River. These days, they could always receive material support, and there were occasional naval reinforcements to supplement them. Naturally, they were not afraid of attacking.

The two armies attacked north and south, and immediately cut the Qing army's breakout force into several sections, unable to look at each other from head to tail, and were defeated.

If the Qing army had the heart to fight, the original combat power would never be inferior to these second-line troops of the Ming army.But the problem is that they have long known that their side will eventually lose, and the prince is dead, so they don't want to fight at all, they just want to run for their lives.

In such chaos, Chen Mingyu and the others naturally missed out on a lot of opportunities, and thousands of people were directly defeated.

It can be regarded as God's reward for bravery. Although Chen Mingyu fought without any danger, he deserved it for daring to die first.Although Shang Shan, Li Chengdong and other main generals of the Qing army's breakout troops were not directly killed in the end, one or two Jiala Ezhen were killed, and more than [-] people were killed.

This kind of military merit, in normal times, is definitely enough to directly let the general jump to the general.

The Qing army had only a few small troops of hundreds of people left, and fled all the way to Luyuan and other places. They found small boats near the river and tried to steal them in the dark. No organized troops could gain a firm foothold anymore.

……

The Battle of Jiangyin was finally closed on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The Qing army in the Jiangyin camp was completely wiped out by the Ming army in just two days.

The more than 1 Qing army was completely finished, and only a few small troops of hundreds or dozens of people escaped. The total number of people who fled never exceeded three or four thousand.

After the battle in Jiangyin was over, Zhu Shuren had time to pull out the last nail on the southern front—the Ming army had not yet attacked Wujin and Jintan counties during the decisive battle.

Although these county towns will soon collapse after confirming the death of Duoduo and the main force of the Qing army, or try to escape from the siege, or try to break up into pieces, and the defenders will be defeated, but it will take time after all. .

Starting from the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the Ming army dealt with the Jiangyin battlefield with one hand, and with the other hand divided troops to deal with the remaining enemies in the two counties.In the end, it took three days, and it was not until New Year's Eve that the Second County was rehabilitated, and the entire Jiangnan territory once occupied by Duoduo was completely conquered.

And there are still some stragglers fleeing the enemy bravely in the local area. It is estimated that it will take ten and a half months to completely eliminate and arrest them.

But these details, Zhu Shuren can no longer take care of himself to worry about, he just wanted to get the bodies of Duoduo and others, as well as the news of the recovery of all counties in the south of the Yangtze River and the complete eradication of Jiangyin camp, so he immediately sent someone to transport them back to Nanjing City, he still wanted to catch up with the New Year's Day in the first year of Longwu, and offer his meritorious service to the imperial court.

He had said in private before that the matter of Duoduo should be resolved during the reign of Chongzhen. It is a good talk that such rhetoric can be realized in the end. It will be of great help to the morale of the whole army and the cohesion of the court. Why not Why.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, after confirming the preliminary results, Zhu Shuren returned west from Wujin County, rode his horse and galloped for nearly [-] miles, and returned to Nanjing before midnight.

Thousands of cavalry guarded him, which also made Nanjing an exception once the city gate was opened in the middle of the night to welcome Zhu Shuren back to the palace to make a contribution.Early the next morning, the ceremony of entering the city was officially held.

And the officials in Nanjing City, especially those high-level cabinet ministers, got the good news immediately even in the middle of the night.
