Chapter 148 The Three Ways Judging the Army's Great Defeat

Chapter 148
At this time, behind the routed West Route Army, countless soldiers from the Imperial Battalion came chasing after them, and in front of them were countless iron cavalry. Tens of thousands of horses galloped and rolled, billowing smoke and dust covered the sky, and Liu Liangzuo even watched Seeing the figure of Liu Zhaoji bravely annihilating the enemy.

Like Gao Jie, Huang Degong, and Liu Zeqing, the ambition to covet Yangzhou is also the same as Liu Liangzuo, the advocate of peace. Of course he knows Liu Zhaoji, who was once a soldier in Yangzhou, but he doesn't know when Liu Zhaoji became an official in the capital. The body and shoulders of the imperial battalion commander.

"How could this happen?" Liu Liangzuo didn't have time to think about this at this moment, what he thought was how could Xishanao's mere [-] soldiers kill his [-] troops in such a mess in an instant?You must know that Cai Tingzhen is also a fierce general under his command. He has rich experience in leading troops and has made many military exploits. What about others at this time?

Liu Liangzuo didn't know that Cai Zongbing, whom he placed high hopes on, had already died in the rebellion army, and he was probably trampled like mud by a horse at this time.If Liu Liangzuo could be on the battlefield at Xishankou, he would have fully believed what Zhu Yousong had said at this time, that five thousand imperial camps, each of which counts as ten, is equivalent to fifty thousand troops.

The lightning-like defeat of the West Route Army undoubtedly made Liu Liangzuo's situation worse. At this time, the tens of thousands of soldiers outside the city were in panic and could not live all day long.

Zhu Yousong saw that the timing was familiar, and all the links arranged in advance had been completed, so he resolutely issued an order: "I will pass on my will, and [-] battalion soldiers will go out of the city to kill the thieves!"

The generals of the Beijing camp have long wanted to go out of the city to kill thieves. In the past few months, Zhu Yousong has used his own internal funds again. The food distribution is very timely, and the food standard has been improved. The newly appointed Jiangyin Sangong is considerate of his troops, loves soldiers like sons, and the emperor's grace is so great. Under such circumstances, what do soldiers want, but to kill the enemy and serve the country!
The generals who led the troops were also aggrieved. After receiving the imperial decree, it was like two doors opened in their hearts. Your Majesty should have done so long ago!
The suspension bridge was lowered and the four doors were opened wide. Zheng Hongkui and Jiangyin Sangong led the soldiers of the Beijing camp out of the city. The [-] troops rushed towards Liu Liangzuo's men like a stormy sea, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.

There is no need to worry that there are no generals in the city, and some people will take the opportunity to make trouble.At this time, [-] Jinyi Guards and those factory fans acted as temporary city guards, guarding the various gates of the imperial city, guarding the four gates of the capital, and accompanying escorts. Zu Hai and Li Quan arranged them in an orderly and seamless manner.

Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Yousong watched with confidence how the battle against chaos would end. After planning for many days, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. Everything was going according to his plan, everything was under control, arrogant Domineering Liu Liangzuo is about to die.

At this time, Liu Liangzuo's Central Route Army had already been demoralized by Zhu Yousong's unpredictable moves. They originally planned to attack the city, but now the West Route Army was suddenly defeated, and Liu Zhaoji led the imperial battalion to chase and kill them.What they didn't expect was that they didn't need to attack the city, the city gate was wide open, and the soldiers from the Beijing battalion rushed out, like opening a gate to release a flood.

Facing the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were bravely killing the enemy like tigers and tigers, and no one was afraid of death, Liu Liangzuo and their generals understood that it wasn't that the soldiers of the Beijing camp were afraid to fight before, but they were just waiting for the opportunity.

The morale of the army was fluctuating, and the death squads who were about to attack the city collapsed in an instant. When they saw the overwhelming Beijing soldiers rushing towards them, they didn't even dare to fight, and ran away without caring about the formation and position.

The run of the troops in front caused panic among the soldiers behind. Tens of thousands of people were thrown into chaos. Liu Liangzuo couldn't command well. He cut down several fleeing soldiers, including several military leaders, but it was of no avail. He had learned what it means to be defeated and what is defeated like a mountain.

Just as Liu Liangzuo was clamoring for his subordinates to vent their anger, a group of soldiers from the Beijing battalion rushed in front of them like a whirlwind, and a general at the head seemed to have killed them.

This will be in the prime of life, with a melon-seeded face that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, two black trowel eyebrows, two piercing eyes, revealing perseverance and righteousness, straight nose and wide mouth, black beard, broad shoulders and thick back, Wearing a bronze helmet and bronze armor, with a machete in the palm of the oolong horse under his crotch, he is as majestic as a golden armored god.

He is a minister in the same court and a senior military officer in the same court. Of course Liu Liangzuo knows him. The general who will come is Zheng Hongkui, a Wu Jinshi during the Chongzhen period and a leader of the Fujian Zhengjia Army. Isn't he stationed in Zhenjiang by order? When will he also become a Beijing official?

Liu Liangzuo has not been to Beijing for the past few months, so what happened in the capital is naturally unclear, and some memories still stay in the era of Zhu Yousong.Zhu Yousong crossed over, Zheng Hongkui came to Beijing under the imperial edict, and helped the imperial court to do a series of earth-shattering events. He is now the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army in the governor's office of the five armies. Liu Liangzuo, who is far away in Shouzhou, is not very clear about these things.

But these are irrelevant and important. The important thing is that Zheng Hongkui didn't answer, and just swung his sword to chop. Liu Liangzuo wanted to turn the tide of the battle and swung his sword to parry. His guards also rushed up and fought with the Beijing soldiers brought by Zheng Hongkui. The two sides fought against each other outside Nanjing.

Although Liu Liangzuo is brave in single-handedly fighting, he is not an opponent of Wu Jinshi. When Yan Yingyuan led a team to fight, Liu Liangzuo had already experienced the bravery of this fake Guan Gong, so he dared not fight again. Then run.

Originally, the defeat of his tens of thousands of troops in the middle route had already appeared, and most of the soldiers were fleeing. He was the leader and took the lead in running away again.Seeing this, the artillerymen didn't even want their positions, and they didn't even care about the cannons filled with ammunition and aimed at their targets. They all threw them on the positions and ran away.

The soldiers from the Beijing camp came overwhelmingly, and Liu Liangzuo's generals who couldn't run away were quickly trapped among them. These people were not idiots, they didn't want to be punished, and the only way to go was to surrender, so they all knelt down and surrendered. There is a purpose, and the prisoners are not killed, and these people can save their lives.But those who were slow to surrender have already reported to King Yan.

Compared with the West Route Army and the Central Route Army, Jiao Ting's East Route Army is considered lucky.

When receiving Liu Liangzuo's order to attack the city, 1 people located outside the east gate of Nandu immediately organized a charge. However, under the management of Jiangyin Sangong, who is known for his good defense, the capital's city defense has long been impenetrable, let alone 1 horses. Even if 10 Malays attack the city, they are doomed to return in vain.

Therefore, after a charge, Jiao Ting's men and horses were wounded, so they had to withdraw first, and then rest and organize the second attack on the city.

At this time, the gate of the city was suddenly opened wide, and the wolves and tigers of the Beijing camp rushed out from inside.He thought that people would not dare to fight, so they attacked the city. Now that the city gates were suddenly opened and the soldiers from the Beijing battalion came out, it is true that Mr. Jiao did not expect it, so he had to rush to fight in panic.
