The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 665
"My lord, don't believe him," Pu Taixin immediately knelt down beside Ma De, and hugged his thigh, "It was Min who collapsed first, otherwise why did his soldiers arrive in Jurong first?"

"You spit out blood!"

"You are..."

"The old man fought with you!"

Ma De frowned and shouted: "Okay! We've all lost the battle, so what's there to fight for?"

He pointed to the earth fortress and the wall in the distance, "Isn't this already prepared? Let the two of you gather the defeated troops quickly and retreat to Jurong!"

"The order will be followed."

Park Tae-shin and Min Seung-hyo came to the battlefield with evil eyes facing each other all the way, and looked around, only to find that except for Ma Dena's [-]-supervisor team, they were still all Korean soldiers. They were very surprised. Leave it to us?

……

"Wuqishan victory?!" Duoduo stood up and asked the officer sent by Geng Zhongming to report, "You can distinguish carefully, can't it be a barbarian cheating?"

"Back to the general! In this battle, a total of [-] heads of the southern army were captured. In addition, seven cannons, more than [-] firecrackers, and [-] single-handed swords were seized... some money, grain and horses."

Killed more than 600 enemies, and there are so many spoils!Duoduo was overjoyed, it seemed that he had really won the battle.

The officer said again: "General, there are nearly ten thousand southern troops fleeing. My general wants to invite the enemy to fight..."

Duo Duo frowned slightly, although he felt that he should take advantage of the victory to expand the results, but he remembered Dorgon's order of "one more, three no", and raised his hand to greet Shuosai, Shi Tingzhu and others in the tent, "Follow me to check before the battle."

"Whoo!"

That night, Duoduo rushed to Mount Wuqi under the guard of more than a thousand Ba Yala, and when he saw Geng Zhongming and the officers from his troops welcoming him, he immediately said: "You don't need to be polite, take me to see the corpse of the southerner."

The corpses of the "Ming army" and the captured items had already been laid out in the wilderness. Duoduo asked people to raise torches everywhere, and they came up to watch carefully.Taking a closer look at the palms of these people, most of them are bow cocoons or blunderbuss cocoons, which were ground out by using bows and blunderbuss for a long time, and they are undoubtedly soldiers.

He then turned to Geng Zhongming, "Can you capture a prisoner?"

"This... has never been captured."

It turned out that although Li Ji and Li Ying wanted to win Ming's support, they were both afraid of offending the Manchus, so before sending troops to the Ming Dynasty, they repeatedly warned the officers and soldiers that if someone leaked the news, the whole clan would be destroyed!
Under such coercion, the North Korean soldiers ran desperately when they fled. Once surrounded, they would rather fight to the death than be captured by the Qing army.

In addition, Geng Zhongming was afraid of an ambush by the Ming army at the time, so he hastily recalled Zhang Xiang and Li Congmin who were chasing the enemy, so they had no chance to capture the "Ming army" alive.

Duo Duo, Shuo Sai and others carefully studied the footprints, ruts, discarded weapons, and the location of the luggage when the "Ming Army" fled.

This is also of course, the Korean soldiers are definitely defeated, and it can't be true anymore.

"General, don't miss this opportunity," Shuosai cupped his hands and said, "This subordinate thinks that they should immediately send troops to chase after the enemy!"

"The final general seconded the proposal. If you can kill more southern soldiers outside the city of Nanjing, it will be many times easier to attack the city."

Duoduo no longer hesitated, and said to Geng Zhongming: "King Huaishun, I ordered you to pull out the camp overnight and chase down Wuqi Mountain to defeat the enemy!"

"The end will obey orders!"

When Duoduo returned to the camp, he immediately summoned Aoke Duoli and ordered him to lead his troops to follow Geng Zhongming closely so that he could respond at any time. He also ordered Suo Sai to say: "Decree, the army prepares food at Maoshi, and sets up the camp at Chenshi and marches west!"

"Whoo!"

The next day, Cui Hemian and Min Seung-hyo had collected most of the rout soldiers—most of these North Korean soldiers could not speak Chinese, and even if they wanted to be deserters, they had nowhere to go—they counted, and each had only 700 and [-] people.On the contrary, the North Korean Minzhuang brought in only a few hundred people died because Ma De ordered them to retreat in advance.

The defense line of Jurong has been built long ago, the two of them deployed their defenses carefully, but they both found out in embarrassment that due to yesterday's defeat, the soldiers discarded a lot of weapons, and now the two of them can't make up a firecracker.

Before they went to Ma De to complain, soldiers from the Ming army came from the northwest to dozens of carriages, all of which were full of bows, blunderbuss and other things.

Cui Hemian and Min Chengxiao each received their weapons, and found that there were thousands of firecrackers and more than 800 bows left over.

When they were surprised, they saw a guard next to Ma De coming, and kindly "reminded" them, "Wuqi Mountain has been lost, and Jurong must not be defeated again. I know you are short of soldiers. There are many weapons here. Pick some clever assistants from among the people."

"Thank you, my lord, for calling me!"

Thanks a lot, the two men selected nearly a thousand people from the people to join the army, and the number of people behind the wall in Jurong suddenly increased to nearly 4000.

At the same time, in a military tent of the Qing army, Ai Songgu and the other three sat around the charcoal brazier, all with expressions of "righteous indignation".

Sukesaha let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect the first achievement of the Southern Expedition to be snatched by a Han, what a fool!"

"Why did His Royal Highness Prince Yu send the Green Battalion as the vanguard?" Mu Jilun bit his jerky and said angrily, "The thunderous momentum of my army is bound to be irresistible to barbarians. Your Highness is simply going to give military merit to Geng!"

"That's not true." Ai Songgu took the opportunity to agree, "Before the soldiers surrounded Nanjing, there were only so many barbarians left who could exchange military exploits. Now I'm afraid it will be all cheap for Geng Zhongming."

Muzilun shook his head vigorously, "This is not possible, we have to find a way!"

Ai Songgu glanced at him and said with a smile: "I have a way, but I have to take some risks."

"Oh? Say it!"
