The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 699 Soliciting Everywhere

It turned out that the Ming army was chaotic and ran around, and some Ming soldiers saw that Xu Fuzou's soldiers and horses were in good order, so they came to join us.

At that time, Xu Fuzuo thought that there are many people and strength, so he also accepted a group.

Calculated in this way, they may not only have two 9000 people just now, but also many other Ming troops, with more casualties.

"Who's subordinate are you?" Cao Bianjiao asked strangely, this person is also a thousand-level leader.

"Zhao Dejing in Liugou, Xiaxuan Mansion."

It turned out to be Mr. Qian under Li Fuming.

He Daping said calmly: "When we set off just now, we had already called the governor, but the governor refused to follow us."

"It's hard to rush out now, and you tell the brothers to fight back? The Qing soldiers over there have already set up artillery arrays. Isn't this telling us to die?"

There was a lot of scolding all around, Cao Bianjiao also felt that what He Daping said was reasonable, he finally rushed out, why bother to go back to die?

The key is not to mention that it is dark now, the Qing soldiers have artillery, and there are infantry battalions to attack the artillery.

Moreover, Cao Bianjiao didn't follow Hong Chengchou into Songshan just now, and Hong Chengchou probably hated him, so of course he didn't want to go back.

Zhao Dejing blushed and apologized repeatedly.

Xu Fuzuo hurriedly asked someone to check that it was not the other Ming army of Cao's department.

After a while, the whole army pointed out more than 300 other Ming troops who were not Cao's troops, all of which belonged to various ministries, and Xu Fuzuo asked Zhao Dejing to take them together first.

After taking a short rest and eating, the whole army immediately continued to walk.

At this time, the huge battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles was still the same as Shura Hell, with the Ming army running around and the Qing soldiers chasing and blocking everywhere.

The battle in the original history also lasted from the evening to the early morning of the next day.

Huang Taiji knew early on that the Ming army would surely break through.He ordered the Mongolian cavalry to go to the seaside to ambush, and the troops on the left and right wings were in ambush at various intersections.

"The Ming army fought and rushed, and the soldiers were scattered, and the night was hard to recognize."

In the middle of the night, Wu Sangui and Wang Pu led their men to the seaside, where they fell into the pockets carefully prepared by the Qing army. They were beaten until they fled towards Xingshan.Seeing that the situation was not going well, the other people following him changed their course and fled to the seaside, hoping to escape back to Ningyuan by sea.

The long-awaited Mongolian cavalry took advantage of the situation and rushed directly into the ranks of the Ming army who had no fighting spirit and were scattered.

It was getting late at that time, and the Ming army was eager to flee for their lives, so they jumped into the sea, hoping to snatch a few fishing boats to survive.

The next day, the Qing army cleaned the battlefield and found that the sea was densely packed with corpses of people and horses, floating on the sea, and the scene was spectacular.

General Wu Sangui, Wang Pu and others fled to Xingshan.

The chief soldiers Ma Ke and Li Fuming tried to rush into Tashan but failed, they were defeated by Qing soldiers and directly captured alive.

Hong Chengchou and others failed to break through the siege, and were trapped in Songshan City.

Wu Sangui and Wang Pu, who fled to Xingshan, encountered an ambush by the Qing army in Gaoqiao. After the fierce battle, the two suffered heavy losses and finally fled back to Ningyuan. overwhelmed.

In the battle that night, the 13 troops of the Ming army suffered heavy losses, and all their elites were lost.

"Advancing lightly, the army can't break through the siege, and the retreat can't deal with the aftermath. The situation is dwarfed, so the important ministers and generals are selected to lead the cavalry, and the [-] people are completely wiped out."

Hong Chengchou led the remnant army to withdraw into Songshan City and wrote to ask for help. At that time, he thought that Xu Fuzuo and Cao Bianjiao were also wiped out.

It can be said that this battle basically wiped out the last elite of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen lost all his underpants.

Besides, after dark, Xu Fuzuo's side was safe. The Qing soldiers didn't hold up torches, so they didn't dare to come and chase them. They raised torches, but they were afraid of being shot.

Xu Fuzou took nearly ten thousand horses, including two thousand dead and more than 4000 wounded, and they were divided into [-] horses, and retreated from Daxingbao to Ningyuan.

But Xu Fuzuo estimated that the Qing soldiers would soon break through Songshan and Xingshan, and then break down all the surrounding piers of Ningyuan. At that time, there would be only an isolated city in Ningyuan outside the entire pass.

After he decided to go to Ningyuan to get supplies, he immediately retreated to the outside of the pass and returned to Ji Town.

Anyway, he knew that as long as he had soldiers in his hands, he wouldn't be held accountable for this defeat. At worst, just like Zu Dashou, it would be fine if he didn't go to the capital.

That night they marched all the way in a hurry, but fortunately they had horses, and at dawn they fled to Changling Mountain Fort.

This side is very close to Ningyuan, and it is also a pier that is currently not controlled by the Ming army outside the pass.

Along the way, they captured a lot of defeated soldiers, and also encountered some Qing soldiers who didn't open their eyes and wanted to attack them, so they were naturally beaten to death.

At dawn, the whole army was resting in Changling Mountain Fort. Standing on a high place, Xu Fuzuo could already see Ningyuan City with binoculars.

He is not in a hurry to go there, let the whole army rest first.

Then on the spot, all the corpses of Jizhen soldiers and horses were burned, and their names were written one by one, and they were packed with ashes and brought back.

Because there is no such urn, it can only be wrapped in a battle suit.

At the same time, they dealt with the heads of the Qing soldiers. It was dark last night, and they did not ask for more. They cut off more than 1000 heads in total. Cao took [-]% and Xu took [-]%.

The whole process took a day, and at noon the next day, some troops from the Qing army came to the vicinity of Changling Fort. When they saw Xu Fuzuo's blunderbuss, they retreated decisively.

Now they are not going to fight Ningyuan, let alone Xu Fuzuo's soldiers, mainly chasing down the defeated soldiers and blocking Hong Chengchou.

At this time, because the fugitive Ming army continued to join on the road, there were nearly 2000 Ming troops in other ministries in the Xu Fuzuo Camp.

At noon, Xu Fuzuo was with He Daping, Cao Bianjiao, Zhao Dejing, Duan Yu and other officers.

Duan Yu was a general of Bai Guangen's department. According to him, he and Bai Guangen's son Bai Liangbi fled together. Because of panic in the dark, they fled. It seems that Bai Liangbi was captured by the Qing soldiers.

Duan Yu was self-aware, and said at this time: "This time the army is defeated, His Majesty will definitely be held accountable."

"If we have no soldiers or generals, we will definitely be unlucky. I want to go back to Ningyuan and see if I can find the general soldier. If the general soldier is not there, I hope to join Xu general soldier." Duan Yu smartly said hello first, and I want to go back Look for Bai Guangen, if you can't find it, I want to vote for Jizhen.

After his words fell, Zhao Dejing and Cao Bianjiao looked at Xu Fuzou.

Xu Fuzuo nodded slowly: "You can vote for Jizhen, but our military law is strict here. If you can't stand the rules, you should think twice."

All the generals nodded one after another. They marched with Xu's troops last night and today. Who could not see that Xu's side has strict discipline and strict military law.

Veteran soldiers will definitely not be able to bear it, but this kind of soldiers and horses are elite, who wouldn't want to have such soldiers and horses in their hands.

After dinner, Cao Bianjiao found Xu Fuzuo in private.

"Mr. Xu, tell the truth, is your Ji town considered Dongjiang town?"

Xu Fuzou smiled: "Of course, we are all soldiers of General Ding."

Sure enough, Cao Bianjiao's face changed slightly, what does Ding Yi want to do?A town commander like Xu Fuzuo would listen to him.

He bowed his head in thought for a moment, before hesitating to speak.

Xu Fuzuo was not polite, and said in a low voice: "The last time Zu Kuan, the general who helped the nest, was tricked by Chongzhen to go to Jinan, where he was arrested and beheaded because the rescue failed and he still had troops under his command."

"Hiss." Cao Bianjiao gasped and stared at him.

"Yuan Du was arrested when he entered the capital, so you see later, did Zu Dashou ever enter the capital?"

"Zu Dashou has a solid foundation, and Liaodong is his territory, so he may not go there."

"Brother Cao, you are the chief military officer of the ASEAN branch. You are a guest army. You have no roots and no success. Whenever you make a small mistake, the court will cut you off. Even if you don't cut it off, you can be taken away at any time." military power."

Cao Bianjiao's face became even uglier.

As mentioned earlier, the general army of the Ming Dynasty was divided into the main army and the guest army.

People like Zu Dashou who are permanently stationed in Liaodong are the main army, with foundations, territories, and farmland.

Like Zu Kuan, who was chopped off before, and now Bai Guang'en, they are all temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief who goes to fight in a certain place.

Any time an order is issued, the subordinates will be separated and collapsed.

As long as the imperial court stops food and food, you, the general soldier, have nothing to do.

Like Xu Fuzuo's Jizhen, Wu Shangui and the others in Ningyuan, they can hoard land and support themselves.

To kill someone, Xu Fuzuo directly pointed out Cao Bianjiao's embarrassment.

In fact, he had quite a big opinion on the imperial court in his heart. Since his uncle Cao Wenzhao, two generations of the Cao family have been leading troops abroad, going to Henan today, Shanxi tomorrow, and Shaanxi the day after tomorrow.

Their uncles and nephews ran all over most of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen used them like pigs and dogs.

Cao Wenzhao also served as the chief army officer of the Chaochao, and finally died in battle on the battlefield.

Our Cao family is so desperate, you will die if you give us a general garrisoned in the town?

Those like Wang Pu who run away as soon as a war is fought can be the commander-in-chief of Datong. This will allow Cao Bianjiao to go to Datong. With the territory and land, and Datong can make money, it will ensure that the soldiers are more elite and more capable of fighting.

Just as Cao Bianjiao thought of these things, Xu Fuzuo cursed again: "Wang Pu of Datong exists like shit, and he can be stationed in the town."

"Datong is such a good place, with money, food and elite soldiers, it's wasted."

"Even if Chongzhen let you, Brother Cao, sit in town, it wouldn't be what it is today."

"Old Cao died fighting for the country. You don't even have a seat in town. I'm not doing you justice."

Of course Cao Bianjiao knew that Xu Fuzuo was picky, but every sentence made sense and there was nothing wrong with it.

He was much better at fighting than Wang Pu, but he was not as reused as Wang Pu, and everyone would be upset.

He gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu treats me like a brother, if you don't give up both, I am willing to become brothers with Brother Xu."

Xu Fuzuo laughed loudly, and hugged him: "We should be brothers, you and I, two towns, will be like one town from now on."

Cao Bianjiao said no, but in fact he already intended to seek refuge.

But at this time, Daming hadn't died yet, and Xu Fuzuo didn't know that Daming would die, so the two of them could only stop talking.

As soon as Cao Bianjiao finished speaking, Zhao Dejing ran over again, directly saying that he wanted to seek refuge in Jizhen.

His boss, Li Fuming, is finished. As a defeated general, he will definitely be beheaded when he returns.

Of course Xu Fuzuo agreed, but he also stated first that the military discipline here is strict, but the salary will not be low, and he can't use the old way to mix in the army.

Of course Zhao Dejing agreed, and along with him, there were more than 300 people under Li Fuming's subordinates.

So Xu Fuzuo fought in Songshan, killing thousands of people, but afterward, nearly 1000 soldiers and horses from various towns took refuge in him, and he recovered some blood.

In the afternoon, their entire army entered Ningyuan.

The defender of Ningyuan is Liu Zhaoji, the former commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Division.
