Chapter 989 Interspersed Advance
At dusk, the fighting in Runan City had stopped. After Chen Mingyu committed suicide, the defenders in the city lost their backbone. Seeing that the situation was irreversible, a small group of Ming troops, led by general Zeng Hualong, broke out from the east gate , most were killed or captured.

At this time, in the west city of Runan, teams of Ming army prisoners of war were released from the city, and a large group of Wei soldiers cleaned up the corpses and restored order in Runan city.

The war did great harm to the city, thick smoke was billowing everywhere, there were many rioters in the city, and they took advantage of the situation to rob. Gao Yihuan issued a death order, but all defeated soldiers who were caught with robbery, arson and other crimes would be executed, and the Wei army committed the same crime.

Runan was originally the old nest of the Wei army, so naturally no one would not open their eyes. After killing a few ruffians, the law and order in Runan City quickly stabilized.

At this time, Gao Yihuan, surrounded by hundreds of iron guards, entered the city with Huang Bingzhong and others. The soldiers were cleaning up the corpses. A group of soldiers used a cart to pull a corpse covered in white cloth through the city gate.

Gao Yihuan reined in the horse and asked, "Whose corpse is this!"

The leading soldier bowed to Gao Yihuan and said, "Your Majesty, this is the body of the guard Chen Mingyu. He killed himself when he saw the army entering the city."

Gao Yihuan got off his horse, stepped forward and took a look at the white cloth. His dissatisfaction with Chen Mingyu was gone in his heart, but he just hoped that he would never meet someone like Chen Mingyu again on the way south.

Gao Yihuan couldn't help shaking his head, sighed, and turned to Huang Bingzhong and said, "General Chen is a loyal man! Prepare a good coffin and set up a stele for a generous burial."

"Obey!" Huang Bingzhong clasped his fists, and then ordered his subordinates to do it.

At this time, Chen Mingxia said: "Your Majesty is really kind, I suggest that the captured prisoners should be dealt with lightly, and the method of dealing with the Qing army cannot be used."

Gao Yihuan, who should be killed, will definitely kill him, but he doesn't want to create hatred, but hopes to stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, and said, "Let the sir handle this matter."

Chen Mingxia gave the order with a smile, "I obey the order!"

Occupying Runan is very important for the Wei army, which is equivalent to opening the channel to flank the Ming army in Huainan. However, the Wei army did not win this battle easily. Thousands of soldiers were killed and many were injured.

The bodies of the Wei soldiers who died in battle were buried, and the wounded were carried onto mule carts and transported to the city for treatment in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At nightfall, the corpses of Wei Jun and Ming Jun were buried in a hill outside the city. The hillside was densely packed with graves, and Chen Mingyu's coffin was also buried here. Gao Yihuan personally wrote an inscription on the tombstone: Nanming Zhonglie Ru The tomb of Chen Mingyu, a military officer in the Southern Command, was inscribed with a respectful inscription by Emperor Gao Yihuan of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Gao Yihuan affirmed Chen Mingyu, which made many Nanming prisoners who participated in the burying of the corpse cry bitterly.

The affirmation from the enemy made these Ming soldiers burst into tears for a while, and after crying, their hatred for Wei Jun had dissipated before they knew it.

At night, the Runan General Military Mansion became Gao Yihuan's temporary palace, where there were many soldiers inside and outside, and the lights were brightly lit.

At this time, after winning Runan, the next step is to outflank the Nanming defenders along the Huaijiang River and annihilate the Jiangbei Ming army.

At this moment in the lobby, all the generals of Wei Jun were gearing up and eager to try, Yuan Shizhong clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please give your Majesty the order for how to fight next!"

"Your Majesty, send troops immediately, don't let Ma Shiying escape!"

All the generals in the hall asked for their orders first, and Gao Yihuan was very pleased, "Okay! It's not too late. Li Yuanyin and Yuan Shizhong are the forwards, and you will spread the troops to Yangzhou to open the way for the army!"

"The minister takes orders!" The two stepped out at the same time and clasped their fists, their fighting spirit high.

At present, the Wei army ordered soldiers overnight, and nearly ten thousand vanguards gathered into a huge team. The team lit torches, like a long dragon winding eastward in the dark night, the scene was very spectacular.

……

To the west of Hefei City, Jiming Mountain.

Ming general Fang Guoan led [-] Ming troops to reinforce Runan. After the Wei army heard the news, Hu Dawei led ten thousand cavalry to stop it.

Fang Guoan was afraid of being raided by the cavalry, so [-] Ming troops formed camps and went down to the camp, but Hu Dawei's [-] cavalry could not attack the Ming army's camp, so the two sides could confront each other here.

It was three o'clock in the night, and the fire dragon was wandering around in the camp of the Ming army, and the defense was tight. Suddenly, the Ming army on the sentry tower exclaimed, "There is a situation!"

Outside the camp of the Ming army, there was a sound of fighting. Not long after, a group of Ming troops broke through the obstruction of the cavalry of the Wei army and came to the camp.

At this time, a large number of Ming troops with spears and guns had gathered at the gate of the camp. They thought that the Wei army was going to rob the camp, but they didn't want to, but saw a panicked Ming army rushing to the gate of the camp.

"Who's here?" Fang Guoan shouted, fully clothed, frowning.

The general saw him clearly by the light of the fire, and immediately cried out: "Fang Du Town, Runan has fallen. The humble officer is Zeng Hualong, a general under Chen Zongbing, who risked his life to break through and deliver a letter to the army."

Fang Guoan was shocked, and ordered Zeng Hualong to step forward. When he saw that it was indeed the Ming army from Runan, his expression sank.

With the fall of Runan, the Wei army will inevitably move in the direction of Yangzhou. At that time, the connection between the Jiangbei Ming army and Jiangnan will be cut off, and the nearly [-] troops in Jiangbei may all be wiped out.

Fang Guoan shivered, and couldn't help thinking of the scene of the Northern Expedition, when he buried more than [-] Ming troops in Guide.

At this time, he was about to ask Zeng Hualong for details, but he saw outside the camp, a group of Wei soldiers lit up torches, bypassed Jiming Mountain, and marched towards Hefei.

"Duzhen, the Wei thief has gone to Hefei!" The soldiers of the Ming army panicked.

This made Fang Guoan take a deep breath. Wei Jun hurriedly bypassed Jiming Mountain, and the lone army went deep. It must be that a large group of Wei Jun is almost here.

Fang Guoan's face was uncertain, and he pulled the rein suddenly, "Send a letter to the supervisor, and the army will turn in immediately!"

He calculated in his mind that once the main force of the Wei army arrived, he would be surrounded on Jiming Mountain, and finally the whole army would be wiped out.

Although if we retreat now, we will definitely be hunted down by the Wei army, but it is better than that, the whole army is surrounded, and no one can escape.

Since the disparity in strength was too great to stop Wei Jun at all, Fang Guoan decisively decided to turn in, save his strength, and count as much as he can run out.

……

At night, the Ming army retreated on Jiming Mountain, and the Wei army took advantage of the situation to attack. In the dark, the two armies fought chaotically, and the Ming army suffered great losses.

After dawn, Li Yuanyin and Yuan Shizhong rushed to join forces with Hu Dawei. A group of people came to the messy Ming army camp. They saw the supplies in the camp discarded everywhere, and corpses were thrown everywhere, but there were no Ming soldiers alive. figure.

Li Yuanyin frowned and said: "Captain Tiger, Your Majesty has ordered that the Ming army in Jiangbei must not be allowed to escape into the south of the Yangtze River for defense. They must be gathered and wiped out in Jiangbei."

Hu Dawei nodded slightly: "General Yuan, go after Fang Guoan, Li Yuanyin, if you go straight to Guazhoudu, Ben Du immediately raised his troops and cut off Ma Shiying's way back."
