Chapter 590 Runan Defense Battle
The news that the Qing army broke through the Guohe soon spread to Luyi, and Jin Shenghuan, who was sitting here, was not surprised.

The Wohe River is so long, if the Qing army wanted to break through, they would always find a way.

Now that the Qing army has passed the Guohe River, there are loopholes in the defense line of the Wei army, and Jin Shenghuan is not worried that the Qing army will attack Luyi.

Luyi City is the largest bastion in eastern Henan, with 3000 troops stationed and equipped with artillery. It is not comparable to the small forts guarded by the guards outside. The Qing army will definitely not be able to attack it for a while.

Jin Shenghuan was worried that Duoduo's main force would not attack Luyi and continue to advance westward, or outflank him and trap him in Luyi.

When the wolf smoke rose in the direction of Ershiligang, Jin Shenghuan immediately found the captain who was stationed in Luyi, and told him to guard Luyi. If they come to attack, they will go out of the bastion to harass the Qing army.

After giving instructions, Jin Shenghuan didn't stay any longer, and rushed westwards back to Runing without stopping.

Gao Yihuan left an army of [-] in southern Henan. Wu Shizhao's defense in the direction of Zhengzhou is gratifying. He only needs to guard the gap between the eastern foot of Funiu Mountain and the mountains in the west of Runing, that is, the area around Xiangcheng, to block the main force of the Qing army and kill the enemy. into the Nanyang Basin.

Xiangcheng is not a bastion, but it has been rebuilt and the Wandi Terrace was added. Two small forts were built outside the city and equipped with artillery. The artillery in the same city supported each other, guarding the passage of the Qing army into Nanyang.

This is a more complete defense than the last time the Qing army attacked, so relatively speaking, Wu Shizhao's pressure was lighter, and he only led [-] troops.

What Jin Shenghuan faced was Duoduo coming from the east, and the main force of the Qing army retreating from Jiangbei, and the terrain of Runing was not like Nanyang, which was located in the north of the basin with the Funiu Mountains blocking the Qing army, so the pressure was greater. many.

Jin Shenghuan had [-] Wei troops in his hands. Facing the angry main force of the Qing army, all he could do was delay as much as possible and wait for the main force of the Wei army to come back to help.

In order to try his best to block the speed of the Qing army, Jin Shenghuan's strategy was to exchange territory for time.He dispatched 300 Wei troops and placed them in the army forts in the east of Henan like spreading beans. There were 12 troops stationed in the large fort, [-] troops in one division in the middle fort, and [-] troops in the small fort. Soldiers, organize garrisons to block the speed of the Qing army.

At the end of January 1647, the Manchu Qing began to contact Nanjing, and the fighting in Jiangbei eased down. A large number of Qing troops turned to the northwest and rushed to the south of Henan.

The Wei army's fortresses in the east of Henan delayed the Qing army for more than half a month, which made Duoduo realize that the daylilies were cold when they were pulled up one by one, and the main force of the Qing army began to choose weak places to break through and quickly rushed towards Runing.

Soon after Jin Shenghuan returned to Runing, the Qing army successively tore through the two defense lines of Guohe and Yingshui, and the army entered southern Henan and reached the east bank of Rushui.

At the same time, a Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River avoided the military forts in the east of Henan, directly entered the south of Henan from Fengyang Mansion, captured Xincai County, and threatened Runing from the southeast.

The Qing army hated Gao Yihuan very much, and the Qing army who entered the south of Henan killed everyone they saw, and massacred all the residents of Xincai City. When the news spread to Runing, it immediately caused riots.

After the last battle of Runing, Gao Yihuan realized that it was too unsafe for Runing to keep the workshops here as the front line, so he moved all the government-run workshops to Nanyang, and informed the merchants and gentry people in Runing to go west. migration.

At this time, most of the people and workshops have left, but there are still many people who choose to stay because they are reluctant to part with their family business.

Naturally, Gao Yihuan could not compensate for the loss of the common people for such a large relocation. He just put some relief food so that people would not starve to death, and the gentry and common people had to bear the rest.

Some people didn't want to leave at first, but after the Qing army invaded the south of Henan and massacred the people, the people became terrified again. But at this time, Shang Kexi in the north had already broken Xuzhou and killed Xiangcheng, and the people took the official road to Nanyang It doesn't work anymore.

After the Qing army in Jiangbei invaded the southern part of Runing Mansion from Fengyang Mansion, it was not safe to take the road from Xinyang to cross Dabie Mountain.

Jin Shenghuan could only ask people to move some of the old and weak to the mountains to the west, and a batch of equipment, copper and iron, which were too late to be transported, were also transported to Chaya Mountain and Lang Mountain.

At the same time, give weapons and food to the young and strong and Tun Ding left in the local area, and arm the Tunbao.

After Jin Shenghuan returned to Runing, he was very busy with arranging defenses, transferring workshops, craftsmen and supplies.

In Runing City, Jin Shenghuan stood in the lobby of the government office, looked at the civil and military officials in Runing, and took out a roll of black silk, "The commander-in-chief has already become the king in Xi'an, and he will be promoted to be Liuhou, the governor of the left army, and you will also There are rewards. The king ordered us to block the Qing army and wait for the army to come to help."

Hearing that Gao Yihuan occupied Xi'an and proclaimed himself king, the civil and military officials in the hall calmed down a little, and many of them even showed signs of excitement.

The Qing army came to attack in a large scale, with a fierce momentum, burning, killing and looting all the way, which made many people feel scared.

Gao Yihuan's claiming the king undoubtedly gave everyone a reassurance, indicating that Wei Jun's progress in Guanzhong is going well, and it won't take long for him to return to aid.

When Jin Shenghuan was in Runing City, boosting morale, Nikan led a Qing army and was advancing rapidly.

The composition of this Qing army is complex, the main force is a Jiala Huang Jiazhen Manchurian, with a total of more than 1 people, but its combat power can defeat [-] Ming troops.

In addition to the [-] real Manchurians, there are nearly [-] Green Battalion soldiers fighting with the Manchurian soldiers, and their combat power cannot be underestimated.

Nikan is the Manchu clan, the grandson of Nurhachi, the third son of Guanglue Baylor Aixinjueluo Chu Ying, and he is a leader among the younger generation of the Manchu Dynasty.

This attack on southern Henan was nothing to Nikan, who had just finished the Jiangbei War. As a forward of the Qing army, he had already entered the east bank of Rushui with 1 mighty troops.

At this time, Wang Jiaping, dressed in casual clothes, came to Nikan on his horse, got off his horse, and said, "Report to Baylor, the servant has detected a large number of people and they are all rushing to Runing. The servant asked for orders and brought a team of troops into the city." , as an internal response to the army, to help Baylor take down Runing City."

Nikan reined in the horse, and after listening to Wang Jiaping's suggestion, he waved his hand immediately, "The army stops!"

The advancing Qing army stopped all at once. Nikan looked at Wang Jiaping and praised: "General Wang, you have a lot of ideas, let's do it!"

Seeing that Nikan agreed, Wang Jiaping was immediately overjoyed. He slapped a thousand sons and bowed on one knee, "Cha! Baylor, if the slaves sneak into the city, three days later and four nights later, they will use fire as a signal to rob the city gate."

Nikan said: "My lord is not mistaken about you. If you succeed, Ben Bayle will recommend you to be the chief soldier!"

Wang Jiaping was overjoyed and kowtowed to Nikan.
