The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 667
Seeing this, Geng Zhongming's messenger hurriedly said: "Great General Mingjian! In this battle, my general was at the front of the battle and entered the enemy's camp first..."

Mu Jilun's men jumped off their horses, knelt down on one knee and said to Duoduo: "General, the Han army was blocked by barbarians, and it was my general who led his troops to defeat the enemy!
"If you don't believe me, you can ask the general how many enemy troops the Han army captured."

Seeing Duoduo looking at him, Geng Zhongming's people could only say angrily: "We have captured more than a thousand...General, most of the enemy troops were killed by us, but the corpses were..."

The Han army also captured more than a thousand? !Duoduo was overjoyed, that is to say, Geng Zhongming and Mu Jilun together took out five or six thousand Ming troops? !

You know, the men and horses of the two departments have no time to plunder. These thousands of gains are all real enemy soldiers. more than one person.

More importantly, the location of this battle is also very coincidental-Jurong.It was here that the former Fanlike Dehun lost [-] to [-] elites, which shocked the government and the public, and made people panic.And if today's big victory is passed back to Beijing, it will definitely sweep away the previous gloom, make Brother Nine overpower Hauge and restore the authority of the past!
He immediately turned to Shuosai and said: "Mu Jilun is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery. Jurong defeated the southern army and showed our army's prestige. Immediately report to the imperial court to ask for credit for him!"

"Whoo!"

Geng Zhongming's men cupped their hands anxiously and said: "General, you can't listen to his one-sided words, this battle is my general..."

When Muzilun's people heard that they were going to reward their master, they immediately said in a louder voice: "The general is wise! The young one will return to the camp to spread the good news."

"My brothers from the Green Camp killed 400 people for this battle, which shows who is in the front when facing the enemy!"

"That's why your green battalion is useless, and you were killed by barbarians and weak soldiers..."

"You, you deceive people too much!"

The two sides quarreled in front of Duoduo's tent in this way, and many generals of the Qing army gathered around in a short while.

"Eh? What's the matter?"

"I heard that Jurong was victorious and killed five or six thousand enemies. Geng Zhongming and Mu Jilun are fighting over who is the first."

"Hey, do you still need to ask? As long as the Han army can fight any battle, General Mu must defeat the enemy!"

"That's right, the general also said just now that he would ask the court for credit for General Mu."

At the same time, the gang of Han Chinese officers had another discussion.

"Damn it, come to steal our green battalion's credit again?!"

"Muzilun didn't even die, so how could he break through the enemy camp?"

"Forget it, anyway, it's not once or twice..."

But soon, both sides began to pay attention to the same topic.

"In just two days, eight thousand Ming troops have been wiped out. It seems that they are far from being as good at fighting as they are said to be."

"Ninety percent of the main force of the southerners went to Huguang, and most of the Jiangnan side are miscellaneous soldiers."

"According to the current situation, the military exploits will all fall into the hands of Geng Zhongming and Mu Jilun..."

"If I lead my troops to fight against the enemy, I will surely be able to destroy the dead!"

"That's right! I can't just sit back and watch my battle achievements being snatched away, so I'm going to invite you!"

"Yes! I'll go too!"

Immediately, several officers surrounded Duoduo and rushed to say: "General, the last general wants to fight..."

"General, the last general is willing to lead his troops to flatten Jiangning, and present the head of the barbarian chieftain to you!" The Jiangning he mentioned is the name Jianlu called Nanjing.

"The last general can issue a military order and break through Nanjing within half a month!"

"General, it only takes ten days for the last general..."

After the two battles of Wuqishan and Jurong, the [-] bloody heads of the "Ming Army" gave the captives great confidence.For a while, the crowd was excited, and they all regarded the Ming army in Nanzhili as fish on the chopping board, and they were afraid that they would not have a chance to chop a piece if they went too late.

Seeing this, Shuo Sai whispered in Duduo's ear: "General, Geng Zhongming's troops have more than [-] soldiers, while Mu Jilun only brought [-] soldiers, so he will definitely not be able to take over the Han army. Why don't you take the opportunity to send more troops?" Otherwise, if Jiang Ning is captured by Geng Zhongming, the imperial court will have to reward him heavily..."

The consistent policy of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is to suppress the Han army as much as possible to prevent them from getting too big.Duoduo nodded in thought. Jurong was very close to Nanjing. Judging from the combat power shown by the Ming army, it was not impossible for Geng Zhongming to take Nanjing in one go. He regretted making him a striker in the first place.

He immediately looked around and pointed out two people, "Zumala and Shi Tingzhu, I order you to lead your troops to attack Jiangning immediately!"

These two men are the main forces of Zhengbai Banner and Xiangbai Banner of Duoduo's direct lineage, with a total of more than 1 horses.According to Duoduo's estimate, plus Mu Jilun's 3000 people, it should be enough to overwhelm Geng Zhongming.

Zhu Mala and Shi Tingzhu looked at each other, and responded happily: "Hey!" Then they went back to the camp immediately, assembled their soldiers and horses, and drove towards Jurong overnight.

……

Park Tae-shin and Min Seung-hyo ran all the way to Chunhua, looking back at the fact that the Qing army hadn't come after them, they stopped and hastily gathered the remaining less than a thousand soldiers.As for those Korean civilians, because they were always led by the Ming army, the casualties were not too many, and there were still close to 3000 people.

Yesterday, Mu Jilun counted all the Koreans who died in battle in Jurong into his own account, and Geng Zhongming reported more than a thousand gains, which allowed Duo Duo to calculate the record of "killing 6000 to [-] Ming soldiers".In fact, the total number of heads in the hands of the two is less than four thousand.

Just as Cui Hemian and Min Chengxiao were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Ma De rushing forward. Their faces turned dark immediately, and they saluted the latter tremblingly, "See you, Mr. Ma."

"You guys are too useless!" Ma De looked like he hated iron and steel, "I thought that with thousands of people and horses, you would be able to hold out for three or four days, waiting for the army to arrive. Unexpectedly, I didn't even stand up for three or four hours!"

Cui Hemian glanced at the empty Chunhua camp, and boldly said: "Master Ma, Lord Ma, give this general another chance, and I will definitely not let you down this time..."

"Give me a chance!" Ma De said angrily, "Chunhua is only [-] miles away from Nanjing, how dare you give it to you again?! Your Majesty has sent Yu Zhen, Sun Qi and other generals to guard this place."

The two North Korean military officers were secretly relieved when they heard the words. Jianlu was really too fierce. If they were really going to fight another battle, they would probably have to fold all the people in their hands.

Min Chengxiao said cautiously: "Master Ma, then are we here to help the Heavenly Army?"

Ma De immediately shook his head and said: "No need, I see that all of your troops have lost all courage, and it's useless to stay."

He asked people to fetch a map, and first pointed to the north side, "Pu Taixin's department went to Gaozi, and moved the grain and grass just brought by the navy into Nanjing City." Build a camp there, and beware of Jianlu's surprise attack on Jiangning.

"Ah, by the way, bring your respective civilians with you. The war is rising, and the place is not peaceful. I have ordered them to distribute weapons to them. You two should be careful on your own way."

When the North Korean military officers heard that they were on the job of transporting food and repairing fortifications, they all responded with their chests upright: "The general will obey!"

……

The next day, just after Duoduo led the main force of the Qing army to pass Wuqi Mountain, another good news came from the front-Geng Zhongming's troops captured Chunhua, and the troops headed straight to Beijing!
He hurriedly asked the officer who reported the letter, "How many Southern troops have been captured?"

"Back to the general, I only won less than a hundred levels."

Dodo frowned, "Why so few?"

"General, the southerners seem to be scared out of their wits. Our army is still far away, and they have already fled. One of them is heading north, as if to flee back to Jiangning City, and the other is heading south... "

Before Duoduo could say anything, Kong Youde stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "General, if the southerners flee back to Jiangning, it will be extremely unfavorable for our army to attack the city. The final general is willing to lead his elite cavalry to suppress them!"

Li Guoying also immediately continued: "The final general is willing to pursue the enemy soldiers who fled south."

They were all from the green battalion, and they reckoned that it would not be their turn to attack Nanjing, and it would not be in vain if they could get some defeated Ming troops.

Duoduo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, you two will immediately lead your troops to clear the periphery of Jiangning City." But he sent Ji'ergai and Galai as their supervisors, and then said to Shuo Sai, "Send the order , after Shang Kexi's division was cut off, Gong Adai of the Zhenghuang Banner was in charge of guarding the left wing of the army.

"The whole army hastened to Jiangning, and before the end of the month, I will celebrate in the Manzi Forbidden City!"
