At the end of Ming Dynasty: I, Sun Kewang!Desperate comeback!

Chapter 168 The advantage is in me!

Although Zhang Sheng, under Sun Guozhu, did not have the combat experience of a large corps.

But in the two battles at Yanguan and Qinshuitang, the Hanchuan Hou really showed his majesty!

During the Battle of Yanguan, he only led [-] infantrymen who took small roads to outflank Yanguan. They were not his best cavalry.

But even so, when he suddenly encountered Kong Youde's main force, Zhang Sheng withstood the fierce attack of Kong Youde's main force with three thousand soldiers and horses, and persisted until Li Dingguo came to help.

In the Battle of Hunshuitang, although Li Dingguo's [-] headquarters division veterans were exhausted, Zhang Sheng's [-] lone army was also demoralized.

However, when Sun Guozhu was defeated, Zhang Sheng's troops were left alone.

Zhang Sheng was able to lead [-] lone troops to suppress Li Dingguo's [-] headquarters.

Such a record is enough to make Zhang Sheng worthy of the title of the number one general of the Jiaqian Army.

It's a pity that such a fierce general is not as famous as Wang Fuchen.

Instead, he followed Sun Guozhu into the garbage dump of history.

Zhang Shengqi, who had never changed his master throughout his life, was even treated far worse than Wang Fuchen, who had changed his master nine times.

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops!" Qi Sansheng learned that Wang Fuchen had led troops into Anshun City, his face became extremely ugly, and he quickly ordered the troops to withdraw to the camp and gave up the siege.

Dangdang Dangdang!
The drums of the Ming army stopped and the flags changed accordingly.

Seeing this, the tens of thousands of siege troops quickly gave up the siege and retreated quickly.

While Qi Sansheng organized a retreat, he pushed his three thousand most elite soldiers forward to meet the Ming army's siege troops to prevent a sneak attack by the Qing army.

As the sun set, in the afternoon, tens of thousands of Ming troops completely stopped attacking the city.

He began to reorganize his troops and horses to prevent a sneak attack by the Qing army.

Wang Fuchen led more than 3000 elite cavalry in Anshun City.

Ten thousand Qing troops led by Li Benzhen also appeared not far from Anshun City.

"Ma Yaozi, you came at the right time!"

On the Anshun city wall, Nan Yikui expressed his gratitude to Wang Fuchen.

Those who are able to rush thousands of miles to help when friendly forces are in trouble are worthy of touching and gratitude no matter what era they are in.

Especially for the green camp generals.

Among this group of unscrupulous people, it is abnormal to remain motionless when friendly forces are in trouble.

It is normal for friendly forces to turn around like the wind when they are in trouble.

Under such circumstances, Wang Fuchen's deeds of rushing to the aid of Nan Yikui became even more precious.

"No need to thank you, General Nan. I came here on the order of Commander Hong."

Wang Fuchen looked at the deployment of the Ming army outside the city, and felt the urge to go out and take a charge.

But then I thought about it, I only had more than 3000 soldiers and horses, but there were tens of thousands of Ming troops outside the city.

The reputation of the Xiying soldiers and horses is not comparable to that of the Ming army in the past.

So just in case, Wang Fuchen suppressed the impulse in his heart.

"Ma Yaozi, where are Doni's Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia now?"

"We can't just have our brothers from Green Camp working for the Qing Dynasty alone in Guizhou."

Nan Yikui changed the topic and asked about Dhoni's movements.

"When I set off from Guiyang, Donnie had already arrived in Duyun Prefecture, and now he has almost arrived in Guiyang."

"That's good. With the Eight Banners soldiers, we don't have to worry about the Nanmanzi." Nan Yikui let out a long sigh of relief.

Wang Fuchen smiled slightly when he heard this.

Unlike other green camp generals, other green camp generals feared the Eight Banners like a tiger.

As the saying goes, the soldiers in the south are like clouds, but they are like a brigade full of flags.

Even after the great victory at Hengyang, in the hearts of Green Camp, the myth of the Eight Banners Soldiers still continues.

But in Wang Fuchen's heart, the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia were just that.

Other Han generals were afraid of the Eight Banners, but Wang Fuchen was not.

I think that when he was under Datong City, he, Wang Fuchen, went in and out of the Eight Banners seven times, earning the title of Ma Yao Zi.

Now that things are like this, why are you still afraid of the devil Baqi!

"Ma Yaozi, I wonder how the governor is in good health now?" Nan Yikui was glad that the Eight Banners soldiers were coming and asked about Hong Chengchou's situation.

Wang Fuchen sneered when he heard this.

"General Soldier Nan, although the Superintendent is still handling military affairs, the court has already become suspicious of him."

"What!" Nan Yikui was shocked.

"We Han people are still not trusted by the court after all." Wang Fuchen said earnestly: "It's okay for us. The court has always been on guard against high-ranking governors and princes like Governor Hong and King Xi."

Nan Yikui's expression changed when he heard this.

"Supervisors work hard and achieve great results. Isn't that what the court should do?"

"I don't know about that." Wang Fuchen spread his hands.

Nan Yikui sighed, and then nothing happened.

"Ma Yaozi, I'm going to help you tonight. It just so happens that I got a few new beautiful concubines in Anshun. The women in Guizhou are just different from other places."

"You have to try it tonight!"

"Thank you, General Nan, for your kindness!" Wang Fuchen laughed.

In addition to practical interests, this person will be fettered by emotions.

Just like Zhang Sheng and Zhang Hu under Sun Kewang, they were all brought out by Sun Kewang.

Therefore, when Lord Sun lost power, they were still willing to follow him, even at the cost of their own lives.

In the same way, the Shangluoshan brothers under Li Zicheng were also very loyal to King Li Chuang.

Although Wu Sangui and the Wu Fan civil and military men under him had a very bad reputation.

But one thing that cannot be denied is that Wu Fan is relatively united internally.

This is one of the reasons why Wu Fan is not as strong as Xiying, but can achieve greater results than Xiying.

In history, Wu Guogui, Wang Pingfan, Hu Guozhu, Xia Guoxiang and other generals were led by Wu Sangui.

After Wu Sangui's death, he fought for the Wu and Zhou regime to the end.

Even Han Daren, who surrendered, lost the important town of Ji'an and fought guerrillas with his remaining soldiers in Jiangxi, Fujian and other places for more than half a year before finally surrendering.

There is a saying that goes well, people's hearts are made of flesh.

The longer you put in the effort, the greater the reward will theoretically be.

This is true for the generals before Lord Sun, Wu Sangui's civil and military officials of Wu Fan, and Li Zicheng's Shangluoshan brothers.

Although Hong Chengchou holds the position of Superintendent, he holds more than [-] green battalions.

But the only difference between him and Sun Kewang, Wu Sangui, and Li Zicheng was that Hong Chengchou didn't have any direct troops, so he couldn't guarantee the loyalty of his [-] green battalions.

In other words, if the Qing government wants to attack Sun Guozhu, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Hu, Wang Shangli, and Wang Ziqi will definitely follow Sun Guozhu and Manchu Qing.

The Qing court wanted to weaken Wu Fan, so Wu Guogui, Xia Guoxiang, Hu Guozhu, and Wang Pingfan, all the cronies led by Wu Sangui, could also be loyal to Wu Sangui.The Qing court wanted to capture Hong Chengchou.

Li Benzhen, Zhang Yong, Wang Fuchen, Chen De and Nan Yikui under him have no moral integrity at all.

And Hong Chengchou and Hong Chengchou were an overnight couple.

Who the hell would fight the Manchus for Hong Chengchou?
Therefore, Hong Chengchou, who had no real direct lineage in his hands, was suppressed by the Qing court.

Wang Fuchen and Nan Yikui could be considered conscientious if they could sigh twice.

After all, even husband and wife can go their separate ways when disaster strikes. They and Hong Chengchou, who have a romantic relationship, cannot afford to risk their lives for an old and senile Hong Chengchou.

That night, Nan Yikui and Wang Fuchen held their beautiful concubine in their arms and boasted about it. From time to time they sighed for Hong Chengchou. After sighing, the two happily fell asleep with their beautiful concubine in their arms.

Governor Hong in Guiyang City was also forgotten.

The arrival of Qing reinforcements made Qi Sansheng give up the idea of ​​attacking Anshun again with the troops on hand.

On his side, he redeployed his troops and led Di Sanpin and others to confront Li Benzhen, Wang Fuchen and Nan Yikui in the Anshun area.

While reporting the situation to Li Dingguo in Guanling.

When Li Dingguo learned that Doni had entered Guizhou and the Anshun reinforcements had arrived, he was shocked and quickly held a huge military meeting to finalize the next strategic plan.

"Everyone, Li Benzhen and Wang Fuchen have arrived in Anshun, and Doni's main Manchu and Mongolian force is about to arrive in Guiyang."

Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Now, let them talk about whether our army will continue to attack Guiyang with His Highness Gong's Northern Route Army according to the original plan, or whether we will adjust the plan."

In the large tent, generals such as Gao Wengui, Wu Zisheng, Wang Guoxi, Wu Sansheng, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, and He Jiuyi had different expressions.

"King Jin, our army has no less than [-] troops in the Guanling area, plus Qi Sansheng's tens of thousands of vanguard troops, and King Gongchang's more than [-] Northern Route Army, plus chieftains from all over Guizhou, and Kuidong One hundred thousand people."

"With more than [-] of us, we are enough to implement the previous plan and regain Guizhou!" Jin Weixin, Li Dingguo's dog-headed military advisor, said.

The number of soldiers and horses mentioned by Jin Weixin is actually correct.

Even though Xiying experienced internal strife among the three kings.

But Yunnan originally had Li Dingguo's [-]-strong headquarters, which incorporated Wang Shangli's [-]-strong Kunming garrison.

Including Qi Sansheng's 5000 people and He Jiuyi's 5000 people.

Before the handover of water, Yunnan had more than [-] troops.

After the Battle of Jiaoshui, Li Dingguo suffered some losses in his troops.

But after gathering more than 1 defeated troops of Sun Guozhu, Wang Ziqi and Guan Youcai's more than [-] soldiers and horses, and Ma Jinzhong's more than [-] elite troops were included.

As well as more than [-] border troops in Sichuan and Huguang.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan alone have more than 20 troops.

And then count the troops and horses of the chieftain of Guizhou and Kuidong.

In the southwest region, the more than [-] people on the Nanming side are not groundless.

But there really is!

From paper data

In the southwest!It’s more than 30 vs. 10,000+. It’s obviously my advantage!

After Li Dingguo listened to Jin Weixin's words, he also nodded slightly.

With such a superior force of the Ming army, historically the Yongli court and Li Dingguo never expected that they would not be able to defend the Beipanjiang defense line.

But now, the Guizhou chieftains were forced to rebel in advance by Sun Guozhu.

It makes the situation look better than it has in history.

Therefore, Nanming's side is even more confident.

"The battle of Anshun is just a small setback." Li Dingguo said slowly: "As soon as my main force arrives, I will transport the red heavy artillery to Anshun. This city can be easily conquered."

"As soon as Anshun arrives, Guiyang will be just around the corner."

"Prince Jin." Gao Wengui said tentatively: "Although our army is not inferior to the Tatars in strength, we have chieftains and soldiers from Kuidong to help us."

"But since we left Kunming, food and grass have been in short supply. Although the soldiers can eat sparingly, it is enough."

"But if we want to march into Guiyang and fight a decisive battle, we should wait until the food supply problem is solved before making preparations."

As soon as these words came out, Li Dingguo frowned.

The generals in Xiying kept nodding.

This war is all about logistics. Although 20 Ming troops are now in Guizhou, they will not starve to death.

But the difference between being hungry and being full is huge!

If the soldiers don't have enough to eat and don't have enough physical strength, there will be big problems in a real fight.

With the current food supply level of the Ming army, if they advance directly to Guiyang for a decisive battle.

In the eyes of Gao Wengui and other generals, the consequences will be disastrous!

Just when Li Dingguo was deep in thought, Jin Weixin spoke again.

"Marquis Guangchang, you are serious. Our army has not starved to death. With the current food roads, it is more than enough to support the army's advance to Guiyang."

"Besides, the soldiers are all complaining that they don't have enough to eat, but I see that there is a lot of food shipped. One person needs to eat so much food in a day."

"I assist King Jin, I think about it day and night, and I only eat half a liter of rice a day."

Jin Weixin is careless, just like Kangxi condemned the people for eating three times a day and eating too much.

As soon as these words came out, the generals in Xiying instantly frowned.

"Jin Shaozai, you are not like us. When I, He Jiuyi, followed Lao Wansui to various places, when I was very hungry, I could even eat half a sheep."

He Jiuyi sneered: "As for Jin Shaozai, you travel in a sedan chair without any effort. You eat good wine and good food every day, so of course you can't eat much rice!"

"But the brothers under my old He are different. They are marching constantly with their baggage. If they can't eat more than half a liter of rice every day, who can have the strength!"

"Jin Shaozai, you are talking like this in the big tent, why not just say why not eat minced meat!"

"If the brothers under me can eat good wine and good food every day, they can even go without rice for a day!"

"Hahaha!" Following He Jiuyi's words, there was laughter in the big tent.

Jin Weixin, a scholar, is a typical person who does not know the sufferings of the people.

Can someone who does manual labor be the same as someone like him?
The soldiers of Xiying marched forward carrying weapons and armor, and their physical exertion was not as simple as Jin Weixin imagined.

Jin Weixin's face turned blue and white as he listened to the laughter of the generals in the Xiying camp.

"Okay!" Li Dingguo said: "He Jiuyi, Mr. Jin is my right-hand man, how can he be insulted casually!"

He Jiuyi immediately put away his expression after hearing this and did not continue to taunt him.

"Now the emperor has sent five angels to Kuidong to contact Liu Tichun and others."

Li Dingguo looked at the map and said slowly: "And now, even Dorni's tribe has entered Guizhou."

"In Guizhou, we have 20 troops from the north and south, and tens of thousands of chieftains are responding."

"Our army still has the advantage in terms of strength, and there is no need to fear the Tatars at all."

"If we don't attack Guiyang at this time, when Liu Tichun and others are defeated and Wu Sangui's troops move south, the situation of our army in Guizhou will be bad."
