Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 277
Zuo Menggeng was very annoyed that such a small hill was attacked three times in a row but failed to take it down, causing thousands of casualties.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, he gathered troops and organized a fourth onslaught. This time he saw very clearly that the Ming army on the hill was no more than 200 at best, and it should be no problem to take the hill before dark. After the Ming army was completely wiped out, it took advantage of the dark to attack Zhu Yousong's flanks. There were Huang Shu's 5 troops on the flanks, and Dorobel Nikan's [-] troops in front. Song must not run away.

But this time his men and horses hadn't rushed down the small hill, and suddenly there was a commotion behind them. Zhu Yousong and Liu Zhaoji led the imperial cavalry to kill them. This trump card division once again showed its power. There are many, but they are all traitors. There is not a single real Tartar here. It is more appropriate to call them mobs. Fighting against Zhu Yousong's imperial cavalry is like fighting a mob army with special forces. It is not at the same level at all.

But because of this, Zuo Menggeng's men would collapse at the first touch, or they could be called vulnerable.Zhu Yousong and Liu Zhaoji charged forward with two horses, and the imperial cavalry formed two gun walls as long as giant dragons and advanced as a whole at the speed of war horses. The arcs of arrows on Ying Tieqi's body were all empty, but it didn't matter. To deal with Zuo Menggeng's mob, it was enough to sit down and have a horse and a spear in his hand.

Like a giant harvester, thousands of horses and horses are galloping among tens of thousands of horses, harvesting lives. Where the machine passes by, Zuo Menggeng's soldiers will be thrown down like familiar crops.

Zuo Menggeng was also preparing to gather troops to stop this team, when a scout flew to report, "Report to the young marshal that the troops of the prince Nikan were defeated by the false emperor and fled."

Zuo Menggeng was shocked, the famous Dorobeile also lost?That is an army of 1, including the [-] and Eight Banners of the Tartars, so it can't deal with Zhu Yousong's army of less than [-]?
"Report—" When Zuo Menggeng was still in shock, another scout flying horse arrived, "Report to the Young Marshal who learned that Mr. Huang's troops were wiped out, and even Mr. Huang died in the rebellion. "

This is really a double whammy, Zuo Menggeng almost fell off his horse when he was hit twice in the head.Coincidentally, what happened? Why did they all lose the battle and lose so badly?

Zuo Menggeng knew that the big event was over, so he raised his spirits and questioned the two scouts in detail. The two finished the story of the defeat of the two troops. Zuo Menggeng was like a discouraged ball. Immediately send an order to retreat.

At this time, he couldn't do without ordering, because his men and horses could no longer hold on. During the retreat, Zhu Yousong's reinforcements came up again, outflanking and charging for a while, Zuo Menggeng's men and horses were even worse.They couldn't even deal with Zhu Yousong's imperial cavalry, let alone an additional [-] new troops. Zuo Menggeng was defeated until dark, and he didn't know how far he ran before he could shake off the pursuers behind him. Hearing that there was no shout of killing behind him, Zuo Menggeng reined in the reins, and the defeated soldiers followed one after another.

After checking the number of people, Zuo Menggeng almost didn't cry. This time he led an army of [-] people. After a day's fierce battle, only [-] people followed him, and many of them died. "Why is it always me who loses?" He stamped his feet and beat his chest. After being persuaded by his subordinates, he returned to De'an County with the defeated soldiers.

At this time, Nikan was already waiting for him in the city. Unlike usual, this mighty Tartar prince had no arrogance at all, replaced by a look of frustration. The reason was that he also suffered a miserable defeat. He was much stronger. There were still more than 5 people left in his [-] army, but more than half of his [-] descendants were killed or injured. This time he was convinced, and those Tartars did not dare to shout in front of Zuo Menggeng.

Now they are suffering from the same disease, and they all lost the battle within a day, let alone anyone else, compared to Huang Shu's left army who didn't come back, they are all lucky ones.

Now they are all slumped and silent, from the 20 navy water battles in the lake to the nearly 10,000 troops on the shore of Poyang Lake, they have lost 2+ troops in one day. , and Zhu Yousong had only [-] troops on the battlefield successively. This battle was fought disgustingly and uselessly.

They have never experienced such a disastrous defeat, especially the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Nikan, who fought against the North Koreans, Emperor Chongzhen's men and horses, and Li Zicheng's men. This is an invincible commander. He did not expect to be defeated in Poyang today Lake, what is the love, how is the love!

After Zuo Menggeng adjusted his mood, he asked Nikan what to do next.

Nikan looked up to the sky and sighed, shaking his head again and again, "It is reported that the puppet emperor's warship is still transporting troops to the west bank of the lake. This place is only a few dozen miles away from the lake. The small town of De'an has no danger to defend. Hurry up and retreat to Jiujiang. Now The puppet emperor's troops over there in Jiujiang failed to grab the ferry, so we defended against danger and fought to the death with the puppet emperor in Jiujiang."

"My lord's words are exactly what I want." After Zuo Menggeng agreed, he rectified his troops, and with [-] remnants of defeated soldiers, he abandoned De'an overnight and fled to Jiujiang. Before leaving, they set fire to De'an, and the small town became sea ​​of ​​flames.

In this way, in one day, 20 Qing troops were defeated.

More than half an hour after the Qing army left, Zhu Yousong's troops arrived at the city of De'an and learned that the Qing army had fled overnight. common people.After tossing until the second watch, the fire was extinguished, and a refugee camp was temporarily built to accommodate the refugees.

At this time, Zhu Yousong's 4 troops were all transported across Poyang Lake, and the battlefield by the lake was cleaned up, leaving the navy battalion stationed by the lake, and the [-] troops drove to the outside of De'an City one after another.

It is said to be 300, but this is an imaginary number, or the number before the war. After a day of fierce fighting, Zhu Yousong's troops also lost more than [-] people. Among them, the navy battalion suffered heavy casualties. The battle was not very damaged, mainly in the battle on the shore of West Lake. Of the [-] sailors led by He Zhaoxiong and his daughter, there were only [-] left.

However, the 1000 troops led by Li Quan and Liu Chunhong were intact, and they were in charge of transporting troops.In this way, Zhu Yousong's navy in De'an still has 300 people left. After getting the report, Zhu Yousong regretted it, but there are no immortals in wars. It is impossible to kill the enemy without hurting himself. Qian also lost [-] to himself, just waiting for the replenishment of soldiers in the future.

Now the navy here has completed their mission, and they are not needed for the time being, so Zhu Yousong asked He Zhaoxiong to take the rest of the navy to recuperate by the lake, rectify the soldiers and horses, guard the warship, and leave a royal The doctor accompanied him to heal his injuries.

Today's De'an County gathers more than 3 people from Zhu Yousong, including the imperial camp.

Zhu Yousong issued an order to bury the pot and make food immediately. This battle has been fought since daytime. The water and rice have not touched their lips. People are iron, and food is steel. The Qing army set fire to the homeless people who had lost their relatives and had to let them eat.

After eating the war meal, it was already the third watch.Zhu Yousong didn't feel sleepy at all. Although nearly 20 troops of the Qing army were defeated in today's battle, Zhu Yousong was not happy at this time, because he had just received the battle situation from Hukou, and he couldn't help frowning.

At this time, He Xuanjiao came in, "Your Majesty, it's time for the sky, hurry up and rest, if you have anything to say tomorrow, it's important to take care of your dragon body."

Zhu Yousong nodded, and led her to the dragon couch...
