Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 320

The battlefield in Kaifeng is no less lively than Zhu Yousong's side.

After Zhu Yousong settled Zuo Liangyu and his son in Wuchang in the south of the Yangtze River, he led an army of 20 troops across the Yangtze River and went northward from Yichang. To divide the troops to resist the enemy, otherwise his rear area would be in danger of being copied, and then he would be made dumplings by [-] yuan from the three-way Ming army.

Duduo's generals have not yet been dispatched, the regent Dorgon agreed to Duduo's request for help, and sent Prince Azig to lead an army of 10,000 to Shanzhou. Duduo was very happy to see his brother coming so quickly , this is not just the use of troops on two fronts, the danger in the rear of Duoduo has been relieved by the arrival of Prince Ying, and the two brothers have used troops against Remnant Ming from the east and the west. King Pingxi, King Zhishun, and Prince Ying, There are three kings over there, King Huaishun and King Gongshun on his side, plus Prince Yu, there are six kings in total, plus Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, the [-]+ cavalry of the Qing army must be invincible. The emperor just waited for bad luck, and dared to come to conquest with this little force, this time you will never return!
Therefore, Duoduo was happy, and he no longer had to worry about the future. He personally supervised and led [-] troops in two groups to launch a fierce offensive against the two Ming troops in eastern Henan.

Along the way, [-] Qing troops from the Zhenghong Banner led by Kong Youde, the respectful king, went out to Weihui, and rejected Zhangde and Huang Degong's troops in Kaizhou to the north.

Under the planning of the traitors Tong Yangjia and Sun Zhixie, Duoduo adopted the policy of massacre and plundering every place he occupied, and fought steadily. He blasted open the gate of Zhengzhou with cannons. The Ming army was defeated and withdrew from Zhengzhou. After the Qing army entered the city, they slaughtered two day.

The great eunuch Lu Jiude personally supervised the troops to sit in the town, Chen Qianfu had 2 troops under Zhongmou as the central army, and the general officers Yuan Shu and Zheng Longfang each led [-] horses as the flanks, and the [-] troops were preparing to fight Duoduo here.

Duoduo and Huaishun King Geng Zhongming led the main force to feign a frontal attack. At the same time, they sent a partial division under the command of Qing Beileman Dahai, with 1 horses including Tieshu and Zamur, to attack Zheng Longfang's rear first. Zheng Longfang The Ministry was defeated first, so Yuan Shu's flanks were handed over to the Qing army. Soon Yuan Shu was also defeated. In these two battles, more than 8 Ming troops lost more than 3 people and retreated to Kaifeng.

Within half a month, Zhongmou, Xinzheng, Xuchang and other places all fell into the hands of the Qing army.

The Qing army also won victory in the Weihui battlefield in the north. Although Huang Degong had 10 troops to attack Weihui, he met King Huaishun's [-] troops to defend Weihui and not fight. , Even after several days of attacking, the troops were lost and the generals were defeated. The morale of the Ming army was frustrated, and the Qing army suddenly broke out. The Ming army was defeated and retreated to Zhangde and Kaizhou.
Duoduo led the army to pursue the victory, raped and robbed along the way, and abused them wantonly. The army arrived at Kaifeng Mansion.The [-] Qing army planned to storm Kaifeng, and all the Hongyi cannons had arrived, but at this moment, Duoduo was extremely happy and sad, and suddenly received an emergency request for help from Prince Azig.

Duoduo opened the letter and saw that he was shocked. In the letter, Azig told all about the defeat of his two armies, and asked him to send troops quickly to wipe out the false emperor Zhu Yousong on the outskirts of Luoyang City. The two brothers attacked north and south. Taking advantage of Zhu Yousong's just victory and still immersed in the joy of victory, he cut or captured the false emperor's formation in one fell swoop, and they can drive straight into the South River and Huaihe River.

Doduo never dreamed that his elder brother, Prince Ying, would be defeated, that Oboi, who is known as the number one warrior in Manchuria, would be so vulnerable in front of Zhu Yousong, and that the long-renowned King of Pingxi, Wu Sangui, would also be lured by Zhu Yousong. The enemy's plan to go deep, in just two or three days, the entire elite army of the [-] Banners was wiped out, and Duoduo couldn't imagine it.

"The imperial camp of the false emperor!...the loyalty camp, the white soldiers!" Duoduo read the letter several times, memorized these words firmly, and chewed them several times in his mouth, as if he was going to kill Zhuge. It was as if Yousong's two trump cards had been chewed up and swallowed.

In connection with the annihilation of Zuo Liangyu and his son in Wuchang, Duoduo felt that the disastrous defeat of Oboi and Wu Sangui was not accidental, and believed that the false emperor Zhu Yousong was too difficult to deal with. If there was a mistake in Luoyang, their battle would not be good. After discussing with Geng Zhongming, Man Dahai, Tong Yangjia, Sun Zhixie and others, they believed that what the British pro-Azige said was reasonable, and they must concentrate their forces to kill Zhu Yousong first, and the rest of the Ming army would be headless. Birds without a source, water without a source, chaos without war.

So Duoduo immediately withdrew the brigade back to Zhengzhou overnight, and even gave up on Zhongmou County. Overnight, 4 Qing troops walked cleanly, and even buried the stove pit without leaving any traces. The world has evaporated. Lu Jiude, Chen Qianfu, Yuan Shu, Zheng Longfang, etc. could not figure out the Qing army's ecstasy formation. They were afraid of being tricked, so they did not dare to go out of the city to chase after them. They waited for Duoduo's army to retreat for three days. Knowing that the Qing army had withdrawn to Zhengzhou, the Ming army stationed troops in Zhongmu again.

However, at this time Xinzheng and Xuchang were both in the hands of the Qing army, and Weihui in the north was in line with Zhengzhou, so the Ming army did not dare to rush in.

Duoduo left behind Man Dahai and Tong Yangjia to lead [-] Qing troops to defend Zhengzhou, and then dispatched [-] Qing troops from Wei Hui's obedient Wang Kong Youde, a total of [-] Qing troops, and left Zhengzhou for Luoyang with [-] Hongyi cannons. come.

Before leaving, Duoduo asked Man Dahai, Tong Yangjia, and Kong Youde that they, the [-] Qing troops, should cooperate well, not seeking meritorious deeds, but seeking no faults, as long as they defended the line of defense of Weihui, Zhengzhou, Xinzheng, and Xuchang. After he wins the battle with Azig Luoyang, the battle here will be easily resolved and won without solution.

The [-] Qing army brought heavy artillery fire out of Zhengzhou to the west, along the line of Xinmi and Dengfeng. A few days later, Duoduo's army arrived at Shagang Town in the southeast of Yichuan. Yousong Daying camp is about [-] miles away. After sending an order to set up the camp, Duoduo sent scouts to detour into Luoyang City to contact Azig, and agreed on the timing of attacking Zhu Yousong.

The city of Luoyang has been quite unsettled for the past few days. Regardless of Zhu Yousong camping outside the city and not attacking the city, Azig can’t be idle either. He has to deal with Wu Sangui’s affairs well. , hang the corpse outside the city for three days and let Zhu Yousong outside the city see it.

Now Wu Sangui's nephew Wu Yingguang was killed, Wu Sangui was put in prison, and a Ma Bao ran away, which was beyond their expectation.Ma Bao Chongzhang took the weapons and horses with his bare hands, escaped from the barracks of tens of thousands of Qing troops, and then fell into the city and still survived. Zade led hundreds of Mongolian eight horsemen to chase them out, and encountered Zhu Yousong's men and horses again, Luoyang City In a scuffle outside, the Mongolian soldiers dropped hundreds of corpses, and the rest fled back to the city in embarrassment.

One battle is more useless than the next. So many soldiers can't even catch a horse treasure. Azig is furious. He wants to punish the Mongolian general Zade. Fortunately, when someone pleaded for mercy, Azig spared Zade's life, but he was beaten with forty army sticks, his skin was torn apart, and he almost passed out, but Zade had to thank him, and was carried back by his soldiers battalion gone.

Azige thought about Wu Sangui again, and gritted his teeth with hatred, but when he brought Wu Sangui to the prison to beheaded and hung his body outside the city, and King Zhishun said something happily, Azige felt that the matter was not that simple ...
