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

bang bang bang-

Gunshots rang out, and the Iron Man Army who was climbing the mountain was shot by the Qing army's muskets.

A turtle dove gun roared, and an iron soldier vomited blood and fell down.

The mountain road is difficult, and this elite heavily armored force has spent a lot of energy coming from the Guanyin Mountain area.

Now they were shot by heavy matchlock guns from the Qing army in the mountains.

For a time, the Iron Man Army, which had only single-digit casualties in the Zhenjiang victory, fell in large numbers.

"Charge the entire army!" a general named Zheng Jun roared.

Although the physical exertion was too great, the casualties were also heavy.

But after all, the Iron Man Army is Zheng Jun's trump card unit, so how can they be timid in fighting?

A large number of Iron Man soldiers, wearing heavy armor, tried their best to charge in the mountains, trying to get close to the Qing army and defeat the enemy in hand-to-hand combat.

With a snap, an Iron Man soldier fell down. Just as he was about to get up, another comrade stepped on him.

This heavily armored force in the mountains was so cumbersome that the armor became a burden.

bang bang bang-

The Qing army kept firing cannons, and a large number of iron soldiers died under the gunfire.

Finally, the two armies came into contact, and an Iron Man soldier brandished his own sword.

With one strike, a Qing soldier was killed in an instant.

However, at this moment, a connecting rod hit his armor.

There was a snap, and the iron man's chest felt tight, and he almost fell down as if he had been hit hard.

There was another snap, and the clamping stick shot again, hitting the helmet.

The iron man's eyes went dark and he fainted.

clap clap-

In the lime mountain, countless people shot with rods and sticks, beating the iron soldiers to their knees.

The Qing army did not wear heavy armor, but was more flexible in the mountains and was able to conserve physical strength.

However, the Iron Man Army's heavy armor that could protect against bows and arrows turned out to be a failure.

Although the Iron Man Army is physically strong, they have already expended a lot of energy in mountain operations and are quickly depleted.

They suffered heavy casualties and were defeated in front of the Turtle Dove Gun and Jialian Gun.

"Hahaha, Zheng Chenggong's Iron Man Army is nothing more than that!"

Liang Huafeng laughed loudly and continued to command the Qing army to besiege the Iron Man Army.

Under the fierce attack of the Qing army, Chen Peng's more than 3,000 iron men in Youhuwei Town finally collapsed.

On the rugged mountain roads, they either died under trampling on each other, or died under the sticks and muskets of the Qing army.

After defeating Zheng Chenggong's reinforcements.

Kakamu and Liang Huafeng joined forces and launched a fierce attack on the rest of the Zheng army.

In the mountains, the various units of Zheng's army failed to respond well and were defeated one by one by the Qing army.

Admiral Gan Hui and Zhang Ying of the Fifth Army were surrounded by the Qing army. They fought to the death and could not escape.

Gan Hui was captured and Zhang Ying was killed.

After defeating the Zheng army's towns in the mountains, Liang Huafeng took advantage of the power of victory and launched a fierce attack on Zuowu Wei Lin Sheng and Zuo Huwei Chen Kui who were arrayed at the foot of the mountain.

The demoralized Zuo Wuwei was defeated and Lin Sheng died in battle.

Although Chen Kui of Zuo Huwei died in battle, his Iron Man Army retained a certain strength and was able to evacuate.

By this time in the war, Zheng's army had completely collapsed.

Seeing this, Liang Huafeng encouraged the Qing army to make persistent efforts and launched an attack on Zheng Chenggong's banner.

Seeing the Qing army coming towards him, Zheng Chenggong did not dare to stand and wait for reinforcements.

He ordered Pan Gengzhong, the household officer who joined the army, to stand under his banner and command. He took a small number of guards and went straight to the river to try to divert water for rescue.

Pan Gengzhong was a scholar and had no knowledge of military matters.

They didn't dare to command blindly, so they had to keep their flags still. However, the remaining troops of Zheng Army saw that Zheng Chenggong's flags didn't move and didn't dare to move lightly.

A large number of soldiers died in vain at the hands of the Qing army because they did not evacuate in time.

Liang Huafeng was the first to arrive at Zheng Chenggong's command post and led his troops to launch a fierce attack.

The soldiers and generals of Zheng's army guarding the banner already knew that Zheng Chenggong was not here, and their morale was even lower.

Although many people still fought hard, in the end Liang Huafeng broke the formation and captured the flag, completely sealing the victory.

As night fell, a large number of Zheng troops were driven into the Yangtze River by the Qing army and drowned alive.

Zheng Chenggong was on the warship, looking at everything in front of him and crying without tears.

In this battle, almost all of his 30,000 armored troops were wiped out.

Gan Hui, Yu Xin, Lin Sheng, Chen Kui, Wan Li, Zhang Ying, Lan Yan, Pan Gengzhong, Lin Shizhong, Zhang Tingchen and other important members of the Zheng army were either killed in battle or captured.

Among them, Gan Hui, Wan Li, and Zhang Ying were the admirals and commander-in-chief of the five armies. Zheng Chenggong's loss was equivalent to Sun Kewang's defeat of Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, and Zhang Sheng in one battle.

Such a disastrous defeat is very sad.

Fortunately, Zheng Jun's navy was strong, and Huang An and others collected thousands of defeated troops. Part of Zuo Huwei's Iron Man Army was able to board the ship and evacuate, saving part of the fire.

At this point, most of Zheng Chenggong's 30,000 main force was lost, leaving only a few thousand defeated soldiers.

But after reuniting with Ma Xin and others, he still had more than 20,000 armored men and still had an advantage over the Qing army in Nanjing.

It's just that the morale of Zheng's army has fallen to the bottom. After this defeat, Zheng Chenggong can only find another way.

On July 25, Zheng Chenggong led the defeated army back to Zhenjiang.

Three days later, he voluntarily abandoned Zhenjiang, Guazhou and other places that had been restored, and the entire army began to retreat.

At the same time, a forgotten person is looking eastward and waiting eagerly.

"Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. Why does the country's name come to this?"

In Wuhu City, Zhang Huangyan kept shaking his head, with a look of sadness and anger on his face.

The Battle of Nanjing has already come to an end. 50,000 armored men were defeated by more than 10,000 Qing troops. How could he have expected this, and how could he not be sad and angry?

From the moment he entered the Yangtze River, he was worried that Zheng Chenggong would have problems.

He suggested that Zheng Jun attack the city immediately, but Zheng Chenggong refused to listen.

He suggested that Zheng Jun take over the cities around Nanjing and cut off the channels for Qing reinforcements, but Zheng Chenggong still refused to listen.

It's better now. After the defeat, Zheng Chenggong patted his butt and left without even notifying him.

Let’s not talk about the situation of the battle. Even if we want to run, we have to take him with us as a teammate, right?

Now that the Qing army had won, he was blocked in the Wuhu area, and Zheng's army had gone away again.

What kind of thing did Zheng Chenggong, a man with the surname of the country, do this!

"Master Shangshu, Zheng Jun has gone far away, and there has been no news from Songyin for many days. It seems that we have to make another plan." Yang Wenjin, the general, said angrily.

After the defeat in Nanjing, Zhang Huangyan quickly sent monk Song Yin with silk books to find Zheng Chenggong, trying to get the national surnamed master to send hundreds of warships to help.

For Zhang Huangyan, he still wants to give it a try.

For Zhang Huangyan's subordinates, don't worry about anything else and let Zheng Jun send troops to retrieve them first.

However, Songyin has been gone for many days and there is no news.

This made Zhang Huangyan's generals extremely angry.

Now that Nanjing has been defeated, the people in the prefectures and counties upstream are panicked, and the Qing army has cut off their retreat.

They were hundreds of miles away from the mouth of the Yangtze River in Wuhu. If Zheng Chenggong had not come, they would have died here.

"Since Zheng Chenggong has gone far away, I can only hold on to Wuhu to the end for the sake of all ministers."

Zhang Huangyan let out a long sigh. After he led his troops to Wuhu, he sent people to appease the four prefectures and 24 counties in the upper reaches.

There was almost no fighting in the upper reaches of Nanjing, and the people and gentry rushed to welcome the king.

Many green camp soldiers also came to surrender, increasing the number of troops under his command to more than 10,000.

But with Zheng Chenggong's defeat, all this seemed to be short-lived.

Many gentry cried bitterly, regretting that they had cut off their braids out of curiosity.

The green camp soldiers in Taiping Mansion were even more frightened and quickly raised the Manchu flag again.

People in other prefectures and counties were also in panic, and soldiers under his command fled every day.

This situation is really desperate.

"Master Shangshu, why is this necessary? We still have thousands of soldiers and horses."

Yang Wenjin cupped his hands and said, "It's better to lead the troops north to Poyang Lake and surrender to Sun Kewang!"

"Go to Sun Kewang?" Zhang Huangyan's eyes lit up.

Now on the hundreds of miles of return journey downstream, Lang Tingzuo and others focused on fortification, fearing that their thousands of soldiers and horses would not be able to rush out due to the distraction of the people.

In the upper reaches and other places, the Qing army has no troops, so it may be possible to easily enter Poyang Lake, and then take the land route into Hunan to defect to Sun Kewang.

"It's just that if Sun Kewang is defeated in Hunan and can't stop Dorni, then I'm afraid that my son from eastern Zhejiang will have no way out." Zhang Huangyan sighed again.

Jin Shenghuan's affair was blocked by the Qing government for nearly a year and was not known to Jiang Guan.

The Battle of Baoqing was only three months ago. Under the strict blockade of the Qing court, Zhang Huangyan and others still don't know about it even now.

In the world's impression, Dhoni easily defeated Li Dingguo.

Most of Sun Kewang's men were new recruits, although he took advantage of the emptiness in Hunan to steal Doni's escape route.

But when the two armies fought, no one thought that Sun Ke would be able to win.

After all, he had already lost once at the fork in the road, and was easily defeated by Li Dingguo at Jiao Shui.

A new recruit with only one year of training faced off against Dhoni who defeated Li Dingguo's main force.

Not only the Qing Dynasty, but also Zhang Huangyan and others were not optimistic about Sun Kewang.

So now I have to worry. If Hunan loses Sun Kewang again, the situation will be even worse.

"Master Shangshu, it is better to go to Poyang Lake than wait for death here. If Sun Kewang is still in Hunan, we can go and surrender. If Sun Kewang has returned to Guangdong and Guangxi, we can also fight against the Qing in Poyang Lake for a long time."

Yang Wenjin spoke again lest Zhang Huangyan would become disheartened and choose to defend Wuhu and die in vain.

"Okay, I will recall the garrison troops from various places and take you to Poyang Lake!" Zhang Huangyan clenched his fists.

Even in this situation, he was still not disheartened about the important matter.

However, at this moment, Zhang Huangyan's soldier Luo Zimu suddenly ran into the lobby.

"Sir! What a happy event, what a great happy event!"

Zhang Huangyan and Yang Wenjin were shocked when they heard this, and quickly asked: "Where does the joy come from?"

"Master Wang!" Luo Zimu said excitedly: "Master Wang is here!"

"Zheng Chenggong is here!" Zhang Huangyan and Yang Wenjin were overjoyed.

"If our country dares to fight again, there is hope for Nanjing and there is hope for Jiangnan!" Zhang Huangyan cried with joy.

"Damn it, this Zheng Chenggong has finally come to pick us up!" Yang Wenjin wiped away his tears, revealing his emotions for the rest of his life.

"Even if the country is defeated, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and there will be no shortage of armored men. The people of Jiangnan are still available, so they may not be able to turn defeat into victory!" Zhang Huangyan murmured to himself, looking extremely excited.

Already thinking about the next step after the two armies join forces.

"Master Shangshu, it's not Zheng Chenggong." Luo Zimu said quickly.

"Not Zheng Chenggong?" Zhang Huangyan and Yang Wenjin were dumbfounded.

"Zimu, who is that?"

"It's Sun Kewang! King Qin's army is coming!" Luo Zimu said excitedly.

On the surface of Wuhu, countless ships are approaching.

Sun Kewang's journey from Wuchang to Wuhu is less than 900 miles in a straight line.

But the water route is more than 1,400 miles.

Even if we traveled down the river, nearly a hundred miles a day, it still took more than half a month.

Counting from July 14th, it has now taken seventeen days, and it is already the first day of August.

"What was the defeat?" On the flagship, a group of military generals received the news of Zheng Chenggong's defeat.

"How many Tatar troops can there be in Nanjing? Didn't we just say a few days ago that Zheng Chenggong won a great victory in Zhenjiang, killing tens of thousands of Tatars and tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers?"

Zhang Sheng asked curiously: "Why did you lose now?"

"Perhaps the news of our Baoqing victory did not spread, otherwise Zheng Chenggong might have won Nanjing City." Sun Kewang spoke slowly.

The Battle of Baoqing is still too short ago. In this era of underdeveloped information, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties continued to block it. Baoqing is two thousand miles away from Nanjing in a straight line, and the news cannot be spread for a year and a half.

After all, Datong is only three thousand miles away from Nanchang in a straight line, and it was blocked by the Qing government.

Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren are dead, and Jiang Guan still doesn't know the news about them.

If not for this, Jiang Yu would probably take advantage of the opportunity to do it in advance.

And when the outcome of the Battle of Baoqing is not known, the attitude of Jiangnan Green Camp will be similar to that in history.

After all, after the Golden King, Green Camp's attitude towards anything is very cautious.

Wu Sangui alone caused a wave of craze, and Li Dingguo's two defeats to become king could not be achieved.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Chenggong defeated well!" Liu Xuanchu suddenly said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"In the past, our officers and men in the Western Camp wanted to make a big move, but Zheng Chenggong did not move. No matter whether the leader of the country was in the Yangtze River Campaign or Li Dingguo was in the Guangdong Campaign, his main force has been stationary in Fujian."

"Instead, while our soldiers in the Western Camp were fighting a bloody battle with the Tatars, we secretly negotiated peace with the Tatars and asked for benefits."

"Now that he was defeated in the Battle of Nanjing because of his cleverness, isn't this very satisfying?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Sheng and others shouted quickly.

When Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo decided to start the film, Zheng Chenggong agreed from both sides.

He was not only prepared to support King Sun, but also prepared to support King Li Jin.

As a result, while his teammates were filming, he took his main force to collect food and wages in Fujian, recruit troops and horses, and created a base area in southern Fujian.

How could Zhang Sheng and others look down upon such a teammate after Liu Xuanchu said this.

"King Yanping is too confident." Sun Kewang shook his head.

When he first came to Guangdong and Guangxi, Zheng Chenggong even threatened to work with him on both things and join forces with Wuyang.

If Lord Sun hadn't known about the thieves, he would have launched the Northern Expedition last year, and might have sent troops to the east, delaying his plan to train a new army and prepare for food and wages.

The self-confidence of Lao Zheng's family is passed down from generation to generation. His father has the surname of Guo, he himself has it, and so does his son.

Zheng Zhilong thought he had the leverage, but ended up giving away his life in vain.

The mysterious self-confidence of Guo Xingye in the Battle of Nanjing directly ruined his last hope.

Zheng Jing and Prince Zheng took advantage of Geng Jingzhong's main force to resist the Qing Dynasty and stabbed his teammates in the siege of Fujian.

After his teammate Prince Geng surrendered, he sent tens of thousands of troops to Fuzhou carelessly, right in front of the Qing and Geng coalition forces, hoping to destroy both the Qing army and Prince Geng together!

As a result, even the shit was beaten out in the battle at Wulongjiang.

However, even if Zheng Chenggong lost in Nanjing, it would avoid civil war for the time being.

Sun Kewang would not give up this territory in the south of the Yangtze River. If Zheng Jun captured Nanjing, based on their self-confidence, they would probably have to fight before they surrendered. (End of chapter)
