At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 210 Can’t deal with Li Dingguo?I still can’t deal with you, Sun Kewang!

"嗻!" A Qing army general accepted the order with his hands raised.

Riding their horses along the road, they began to scold the Qing soldiers, asking them to be gentle with the civilians who had been forcibly conquered.

"Master, the Nikans just need to be punished. If we don't punish them a little, I'm afraid we are still in Yunnan." A Bao Yi said.

"Having said that, there aren't many nuns left in Yunnan and Guizhou. So many people have died along the way. If everyone dies, we can't let the Manchu and Mongolian people transport supplies." Donnie sighed.

The supplies that the army itself can carry can sustain consumption for at most half a month.

If there are more, it will affect the combat effectiveness.

After all, a soldier who eats two kilograms of food a day consumes thirty kilograms in half a month.

They also carry various weapons and equipment. If there are too many, they will not be able to fight even if they can reach Huguang.

Therefore, there must be more men and women accompanying the army, as well as more horses, mules, and livestock. Only in this way can the army sustain its expedition.

But now there are not many people in Yungui. If we continue to kill casually and people die, who will work for the army?

"What the master is saying is that not only is the road difficult to travel in this poor place like Yunnan and Guizhou, but there are also very few Nikkans. Once we enter Huguang, the master will have less worries." Baoyi said quickly.

"Fortunately, our Eight Banners still have many horses and mules. Hong Chengchou made a large number of vehicles in Yunnan. Otherwise, our army would have run out of food before entering Huguang." Doni sighed again.

The grain route from Jiangnan to Huguang and then to Yunnan and Guizhou has been cut off for a long time.

Fortunately, the Qing army still seized several million stones of grain in Kunming, enough to sustain them for several months.

Although a lot of this food was consumed, if the remaining food was transported properly, it would be enough to support the Qing army's counterattack on Huguang.

It’s just that the big problem of transportation is difficult to solve.

Fortunately, the Qing army had many horses and mules accompanying the army. The Eight Banners' standard equipment was one man and four horses, and the horses and mules of the Green Camp soldiers were also good.

Although since moving south, the Qing army has killed tens of thousands of horses and mules due to various reasons.

But there are still 20 left!

In addition, when the Qing army invaded Yunnan and Guizhou, they brought many vehicles of all kinds.

After capturing Kunming, in order to maintain the logistics of the Qing army, they could march into western Yunnan to wipe out Li Dingguo and others.

Hong Chengchou was also very hardworking in Kunming, organizing manpower to manufacture a large number of vehicles.

Let the Qing army have no worries and be able to fight from Kunming to Mopan Mountain.

When Doni left Kunming, he almost wiped out all the supplies in Yunnan.

In addition to not daring to force Wu Sangui to a dead end and leaving some food behind.

The granaries near Kunming City were almost emptied by him.

Now on the highway from Kunming to Guiyang.

The Qing army had a total of 10,000+ large vehicles and countless small vehicles.

In addition to using horses and mules to pull carts, Doni also forcibly requisitioned a large number of livestock and plundered all the cattle and donkeys in the areas occupied by the Qing army.

This allows 10,000+ large vehicles to operate.

In addition, there were countless Han people who were forced to push wheelbarrows loaded with food with the army.

The Eight Banners soldiers and the Green Camp soldiers also moved forward with heavy loads.

The food and fodder accompanying the army amounted to more than two million dan.

It was enough to support the Qing army to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack.

Now after nearly a month of marching, the Qing army's forward has crossed the Beipanjiang River, arrived in the Anshun area, and is about to reach Guiyang.

"Quickly order all the troops to move forward quickly. Don't stop before dark. After dark, bury the pots and make rice so that the Nikans can have a good meal!" Doni swept his horse whip and issued another military order.

"Master is kind-hearted! If Nikan knew that he could have a meal, they would be satisfied." Bao Yi said with emotion.

Soon, after several hours of marching, the Han people accompanying the army were finally able to rest.

"Hurry and get water for cooking! Your Majesty has ordered that you Nikans can have something to eat today."

A Qing soldier waved his whip and cursed the Han people who were too tired to stand up.

"Thank you, Master, thank you Master!"

Many people in the crowd were indignant, but some were overjoyed when they heard that they could have a dry meal.

He quickly became a slave and worked hard to cook for the Qing army.

In addition to serving the Qing army, the horses and livestock of the Qing army were also taken care of and a large amount of food was consumed.

"It would be great if I could be like a horse and eat dry food every day."

A Han man sighed with emotion and fed a horse.

"Report! Master is very happy! Sichuan Governor Li Guoying has transported [-] shi of grain from Shaanxi and Gansu, and it has now arrived in Zunyi!"

While the army was resting, a messenger brought good news to Duny.

"What! The grain route in Sichuan is finally open!" Donnie was overjoyed.

"Master, yes!" Bao Yi quickly and respectfully handed over the military report.

Doni quickly watched and found out that Tan Hong and Tan Yi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and followed the army eastward.

The waterway from Boryeong to Chongqing has finally returned to calm.

After getting the news, in the first month of the year, Shaanxi and Gansu hurriedly distributed grain.

Entering Baoning from Hanzhong and then down the river to Chongqing, Sichuan Governor Li Guoying quickly organized manpower to take this precious grain from Chongqing to Zunyi by land.

"Master, it's a pity that there is only a mere [-] shi of grain. If it is transported to Guiyang, it will be consumed, and then transported to Huguang, there will be nothing left." A Qing general sighed.

"What do you know! Although the Sichuan grain road cannot support an army of 10,000+, it is good news after all! The pressure on me has finally been relieved."

Doni said excitedly: "If you pass on the order, say that 30 shi of grain have been shipped from Sichuan to boost morale!"

"嗻!" The surrounding Bao Yi and Qing army generals all handed over their hands.

The Qing army had so many soldiers and horses, so many horses and mules, and a mere [-] shi of food was finally a drop in the bucket.

10 people may only need [-] to [-] shi of food a month, but the horses and mules of the Qing army need several times more food than people.

But no matter what, this is good news.

Even if Sichuan's grain and grass cannot supply the main force of the Qing army, it can still relieve the pressure on grain and grass and boost morale.

"Your Majesty, our army's food and grass can definitely support Huguang."

"But the military strategy for counterattacking Huguang must be decided as soon as possible." Gushan Ezhen Bashan said.

"That's what I have in mind. Pass the order. Baile Shangshan will be temporarily in charge of the army." "My king, I will go to Guiyang now and make a counterattack plan!"

Doni gave the order and quickly marched towards Guiyang with a large number of Manchu and Mongolian generals and light cavalry.

Three days later, in front of the city gate of Guiyang, Gushan'e Zhenming Andali and Oro Saichen, who were staying in Guizhou, led the crowd to welcome him.

"Your Majesty, the last general to join the general!" the two Gushan Ezhen said in salute.

"Please get up quickly. There are two governors guarding Guizhou. It is really as safe as a mountain!" Doni helped Ming Andali and Erosechen up.

After the main force of the Qing army entered Yunnan, some troops were left behind to guard Guizhou, led by two Gushan Ezhen.

Ming Andali and Oro Saichen were also quite capable, although they failed to penetrate deep into mountainous areas such as Shuixi and completely wipe out the chieftains and the remnants of the Ming army.

But the two of them stabilized the road from Guiyang to Kunming and ensured the smooth flow of the Qing army's road.

"Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your Majesty has been through many battles in the past few months. Please take a bath, change clothes, and have a good rest in Guiyang City."

"Okay!" Donnie said tiredly: "I have a night's rest and will hold a military meeting tomorrow!"

The next day, King Xinjun Duni, Pingjun King Luo Keduo, Dorobel Dulan, Eight Banner Commanders Bashan, Zhuoluo, Yilde, Alzin, Ming'andali, Erosechen, and dozens of others A senior officer of the Eight Banners.

A grand military meeting was held in Sun Kewang's palace.

Baile Shangshan and the two commanders Zhao Butai and Luo Tuo were responsible for the affairs of the army.

"Everyone, this southern expedition is actually an unprecedented loss in the history of our Eight Banners!"

Dhoni sighed as soon as the game started.

"Li Guohan, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, died of illness in Guizhou last year. During the battle at Mopanshan, Li Dingguo was cunning and took advantage of our Eight Banners' unpreparedness to kill three of our commanders in one battle!"

"Among the twelve commanders of the Qing Dynasty who went south to Yunnan and Guizhou, four of them, Li Guohan, Shalibu, Zu Zerun, and Jixiha, are no longer here."

"The Eight Banners soldiers and horses suffered tens of thousands losses, and more than [-] Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners sacrificed their lives for the country!"

"I have reported this matter to the court. If we cannot defeat Sun Kewang in Huguang, I'm afraid the national law will not allow it!"

As soon as these words came out, the generals of the Eight Banners all turned pale.

Since entering the customs, no!Since Nurhachi raised his army, our Qing Dynasty has never suffered such serious losses.

If they can't make meritorious deeds in this situation, I'm afraid they won't get any good results!
"Everyone, Prince Jingjin died in Hengyang in the past. Although Tunqi and others were not suitable for easy command because of the large army, the court did not deal with it for the time being."

"But later, they were defeated in Hengyang, and all of them were either demoted or dismissed!"

Belledulan sighed: "I think no one wants to follow in Tunqi's footsteps!"

As soon as this statement came out, except for the Eight Banners generals stationed in Guizhou such as Ming Andali and Oro Saichen, the others all changed their expressions.

After the great victory in Hengyang, Tunqi and others commanded the main force of the Eight Banners and successively captured Hengyang, Yongzhou, Chenzhou and other places, forcing Li Dingguo into Guangxi.

They defeated Sun Kewang's [-] troops at the fork in the road, captured Baoqing, and even captured Wugang for a time.

But even after defeating Sun Kewang's main force, Tunqi and others still did not end well. They were all demoted and dismissed.

If they hadn't made meritorious deeds later on, most likely they wouldn't have been demoted or dismissed, but they would have been killed!
And now, although the generals of the Eight Banners did not lose their commander, the casualties of the Eight Banners in the battle of Mopanshan were far greater than those in the battle of Hengyang!
In the Battle of Hengyang, except for Nikan himself and his two thousand pro-army troops, the main force of the Qing army did not suffer any major losses.

In addition to giving Nikan a big head, the Eight Banners at Hengyang only lost a few senior generals such as Bo Chengni.

A battle at Mopan Mountain!All three are unified!There are five deputy commanders, Daidu, Hunjin, Duopuluo, Manggutu and Kexingge!A total of 57 Eight Banners generals died at the hands of Li Dingguo

More than [-] Manchu and Mongolian disciples died on Mopan Mountain!
This was a more tragic defeat than the Battle of Hengyang!
If you can't atone for your sins!Not only the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief, but even the army coach Dhoni would be hard-pressed to protect himself!

"Everyone!" Doni gritted his teeth and said, "After Nikan's death, Tunqi and others led an army to force Li Dingguo back, defeated Sun Kewang, and recovered Hunan!"

"Even if this is the case, we will inevitably be demoted and dismissed! If we can't take back Hunan, I'm afraid we will be killed!"

The generals of the Eight Banners were convinced that after the great victory at Hengyang, all the Tunqi troops were like this, and they still could not completely make up for their mistakes.

If they can't take back Hunan, they will definitely be even worse than Tunqi!
Although the clan of Doni would not be killed, their generals would inevitably die!
"Your Highness, we are willing to fight to the death with Sun Kewang!" All the generals surrendered their hands.

"Okay!" Donnie breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Now that things have happened, our situation is even worse than that of Tunqi!"

"The only option is to make a desperate move! Kill Sun Kewang and use his head to calm the anger of the emperor and the court!"

As soon as these words came out, Bashan and others' eyes lit up.

Even if they can save their lives by taking back Hunan, the end will not be too good.

After all, they carry more than Tunqi.

However, Sun Kewang pretended to negotiate a peace with the traitor, but secretly raised his troops to march northward, seizing the Eight Banners' retreat.

The emperor and the court will definitely hate him deeply.

If we could take off his head, maybe this disaster would really be over!
"Your Majesty is right!" Du Lan gritted his teeth and said, "Now that it has happened, we have lost seven thousand Manchus and Mongols in Mopan Mountain!"

"How many Manchu men are there in the entire Eight Banners?"

"If we are unable to achieve world-shaking achievements, even if we save our lives, we will follow in the footsteps of Tun Qi and be reduced to commoners!"

"In this case, why not give it a try and fight to the death with Sun Kewang!"

"As long as I kill him, my fault will be revealed!"

"Yes!" Zhuo Luo yelled: "Kill Sun Kewang, take back Huguang, and then take over Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"With the world united and the Emperor pleased, not only can we save our lives, but we can also be rewarded by the Emperor for our merits!"

"Kill Sun Kewang!" dozens of Eight Banners generals shouted.

It was decided to use Sun Kewang's head to make up for Li Dingguo's damage to the Eight Banners.

Seeing the high morale of the generals, Doni felt reassured.

The Eight Banners were defeated again and moved thousands of miles away. If the fighting spirit cannot be raised, I am afraid that the Battle of Huguang will not be so easy to fight.

It's better now. With encouragement, the generals of the Eight Banners have swept away the previous decline.

One by one, they were gearing up, preparing to use Sun Kewang's head to make up for their mistakes.

"Your Majesty, please give the order! If we can't deal with Li Dingguo, why can't we deal with Sun Kewang!"

"In the past, Nikan Hengyang was defeated, but Tunqi led the defeated army and defeated Sun Kewang at the fork in the road!"

"We defeated this traitor and fled alone. The thieves under his command buried a hundred thousand corpses!"

Zhuo Luo yelled: "Although our army is now captured by Li Dingguo in Mopan Mountain, just like Tunqi in the past, we can definitely go to Hunan to deal with Sun Kewang!"

Donnie took a deep breath when he heard this. Our Qing Dynasty's propaganda on Fork Road is an unprecedented victory!
Although only [-] horses and mules were captured, no named Jiaqian Army general was killed.

But in the battle report, it was Sun Guozhu who escaped alone, while the Western bandits lay in wait for a hundred thousand men!
He knows the truth about these things, but under the propaganda of our Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners seem to believe it!
