The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

After destroying tens of thousands of Qing troops in World War I, Zhang Meng can now be praised as a famous general in the world!

It is not impossible to leave a name in history in the future!

There are countless generals throughout the ages!
But how many people can have the record of destroying tens of thousands of enemy troops in World War I?
Zhang Meng thought with some complacency.

After this battle, there is a high probability that the earl's current status in him will also become hereditary successor!

Maybe, even I may directly mix with a marquis' Liujue Dangdang!

Thinking of these, Zhang Meng's heart was burning.

……

After the Ming army destroyed the Qing army's infantry, they did not continue to pursue the Qing army's cavalry, but began to repair on the spot.

the reason is simple!
The Qing army fled too fast, and the Ming army rushed all the way to pursue it!

It is no exaggeration to say that people and horses are exhausted!

On the battlefield just now, if the Qing cavalry chose to turn their heads to meet the Ming cavalry, the outcome would be hard to say.

At the very least, the cavalry of the Qing army arrived at the bank of the Yangtze River half a day earlier than the cavalry of the Ming army.

With half a day to rest, the physical recovery of the cavalry of the Qing army must be much stronger than that of the attacking Ming army.

This means that the cavalry of the Qing army were so frightened by the Ming army that they fled without daring to fight the Ming army.

Otherwise, based on the current state of the Ming army's cavalry, it's hard to say whether the Ming army can win this battle!

It can only be said that what Mr. Lu Xun said is correct, what fights in war is morale!

Once the morale collapses, no matter how many troops there are, the only effect is to add merit to the enemy!

Of course, in addition to this, there is another very important reason, which is because of the strategy of the Ming army in this battle.

The Qing army had too many troops, and the Ming army was not sure that they could eat it in one bite.

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu's strategy is to peel the onion!
To put it simply, I don't want to eat the entire Qing army in one bite, but want to peel the onion, bit by bit, to divide the strength of the Qing army.

Eat some today, eat some tomorrow, slowly, eat the Qing army bit by bit!

Only in this way, when there is only a little onion heart left at the end, it can be eaten in one bite.

Zhang Meng knew the Ming army's strategy for this battle, so of course he would not venture in to chase the Qing army's cavalry.

Anyway, now the Yangtze River has been blocked by the navy of the Ming army!
No matter how fast the cavalry of the Qing army ran, as long as they couldn't cross the river, they were like turtles in the urn, fish on the chopping board.

Can't run away!

Just take your time!

……

At the same time, the main infantry force of the Ming army was not far from the battlefield by the river.

In fact, the gap between the marching speed of infantry and cavalry is not as big as imagined.

Even if the infantry can march in a hurry all the way, it is not difficult to march faster than the cavalry.

It is true that horses can run faster than humans, but the endurance of horses is much worse than that of humans.

Scientific research has proved that humans are the most suitable species for long-distance running.

People can run non-stop for several hours. It is not impossible for a real elite soldier and horse to march hundreds of miles a day, even under heavy load.

And what about the war horse?

Running for dozens of miles in one go will be enough, and any more horses will be useless.

The so-called [-]-mile rush is the reason why they can run [-] miles a day.

It's not that a war horse runs all the time, and it is necessary to change people and horses at the post station halfway.

Therefore, when it comes to long-distance marches, cavalry may not be much faster than infantry.

Of course, except for the Mongols who had three horses and five horses back then, and they didn't feel bad when their horses ran away.

Their horses are really awesome!
Zhu Hongyu, who personally led the army to the north to pursue, received Zhang Meng's good news, and the expression on his face was full of joy in just an instant.

"Hahahaha!"

"Okay, great, Zhang Meng did a good job!"

"..."

Zhu Hongyu was very happy.

The main force of the Qing army's infantry was wiped out, so how far will it be from the Qing army being wiped out?

"Command the army to speed up the march to receive the prisoners!"

Now the morale of the infantry of the Qing army has been smashed, and the established ones have become prisoners of war of the Ming army.

But even so, the number of Qing troops is really too much!

Thousands of cavalry under Zhang Meng guarded the prisoners of war, and they were under great pressure. Zhang Meng's troops might not be able to suppress the riots caused by the surrendered Qing army.

The infantry of the Ming army accelerated towards the battlefield, and they reached the periphery of the battlefield in a short time.

The fluttering bright flag made those Qing prisoners of war unbearably afraid.

In particular, the bright yellow Jianguo banner standing between the sky and the earth exudes endless majesty in the eyes of these Qing army prisoners of war.

Everyone knows that Daming's prison country is there.

The man who destroyed half of the main force of the Qing Dynasty in World War I was right there!
Even if what they can see now is only the big banner, not Zhu Hongyu himself, these Qing army prisoners can't help but feel fear in their hearts.

Just like back then, when the Qing Dynasty was still outside the customs, every time Nurhachi appeared on the battlefield in person.

It can cause great psychological pressure and morale blow to the Ming army.

At that time, the Daqing side, which was still in the late Jin Dynasty, was full of enthusiasm and morale.

The same is true for Zhu Hongyu today!

As long as he appeared on the battlefield in person, the morale of the Ming army would be high. No matter how powerful the enemy in front was, in their eyes, they would only be a formidable enemy that could be destroyed.

It's just dead bones in the tomb!

After seeing Zhu Hongyu's big banner, the Qing army inevitably felt fearful.

This is where the power of a person lies!

Zhang Meng galloped up to Zhu Hongyu, dismounted and saluted.

"The final general has met His Royal Highness Jian Guo!"

"His Royal Highness, although the last general successfully wounded and captured a large number of Qing troops, he failed to keep the commander of the Qing captives on the battlefield, which disappointed His Highness!"

"Your Highness, please punish me!"

The Ming army generals beside Zhu Hongyu could not help but twitch their mouths when they heard this.

Versailles?
You must be in Versailles, right? !
Zhu Hongyu didn't care about Zhang Meng's Versailles.

He destroyed tens of thousands of the Qing army in this battle. Although most of the credit came from the remaining prestige of the Jiaxing battle, the oppression caused by the Ming army's pursuit all the way, and the most important Qing army coach who "abandoned the car to protect the commander" Tu Hai's important assistance.

But Zhang Meng's contribution is still not small!
He can make such a contribution, what happened to Versailles?
It's not a big deal!

Zhu Hongyu got off his horse, patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone.

"well done!"

"We destroyed tens of thousands of Qing captives in the first battle, and I will remember you as a great achievement!"

Zhang Meng clasped his fists and said.

"This battle depends entirely on His Highness Tianwei, the last general dare not boast!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, then got on his horse again, motioned for Zhang Meng to follow behind him, and headed towards the battlefield.

The main force of the infantry of the Ming army began to enter the battlefield to receive prisoners of war.

Facing the strong and persistent Ming army, these Qing troops who had thrown away their weapons showed considerable obedience, doing what they were asked to do.

Zhu Hongyu rode in front of the prisoners of war, his sharp eyes wandering around the group of prisoners of war.

Sitting astride his horse, he looked extremely heroic!
