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

"Okay!" Lang Tingzuo gave a thumbs up.

"General Liang, muskets can only be used in formations, but you went against the norm and used turtle doves to break Zheng Jun's armor. This is really the finishing touch and an eye-opener for me!"

For a while, everyone praised Liang Huafeng one after another, saying that Liang Huafeng has the talent of a general!

"My lords, I am very tired from traveling all the way. I would like to ask you to take care of the war. After our troops have rested and recuperated, I will lead the troops to fight again!" Liang Huafeng bowed respectfully.

"General Liang, please go down and rest first. I won't hold you back!" Lang Tingzuo said quickly.

After daybreak, Lang Tingzuo ordered his supervisor to launch a tentative attack on Zheng Jun outside Yifeng City.

At the same time, in the city of Nanjing, turtledove guns were being collected and clamping sticks were being made.

As soon as Liang Huafeng's troops rest and recuperate, the Qing army will launch a decisive battle with it as its core.

On July 16, the Qing army launched a tentative attack and was repulsed by Yuxin's forward town.

Gan Hui and other veterans immediately sensed the crisis and quickly advised Zheng Chenggong to attack the city.

At this time, Zheng Chenggong also responded and sent people to inspect various ministries.

But he was surprised to find that due to the lack of fighting for many days, the military discipline and morale of Zheng's troops in various departments had declined.

There were even many soldiers stationed in Qianfeng Town who had nothing to do, leaving the military camp without authorization and fishing on the river.

Zheng Chenggong was furious after hearing the news and ordered the military discipline of various ministries to be rectified.

However, he still delayed the siege and ordered the generals to organize their troops and limit the siege to the 22nd.

In the next few days, Zheng Chenggong would receive news every day that upstream counties surrendered to him.

I still feel very good about myself.

On July 21st, all departments of Zheng's army were prepared and ready to attack the city the next day.

The people who restored Ming Dynasty in the city headed by Qian Qianyi had already been waiting eagerly. They would take action as soon as the Zheng army attacked the city and the Qing army was in chaos.

However, the next day, Zheng Jun just got up and prepared to attack the city.

Suddenly, cannons fired from the commanding heights of Lion Rock behind Yifeng Gate.

The Qing army concentrated most of the artillery in the city and fired at the Zheng army outside Yifeng Gate.

Yu Xin and others also fired back with artillery.

Since the Qing army occupied the commanding heights, they concentrated their full strength.

Yuxin was badly bombed during the artillery battle, and a large number of soldiers died in the Qing army's artillery fire.

When the Qing army's artillery fire roared.

Liang Huafeng got on his horse, and more than 500 of his cavalrymen had already assembled.

At the same time, Guan Xiaozhong personally led his troops and gathered at Zhongfu Gate in the north of the city, preparing to cooperate with Liang Huafeng's troops to attack Yu Xin's troops.

"Open the door! Let's fight!"

Inside Yifeng Gate, Liang Huafeng was wearing heavy armor and shouted loudly.

The city gate, which had been closed for many days, slowly opened.

"Brothers, kill the enemy, serve the country, and make achievements now!"

Liang Huafeng roared angrily, then jumped on his horse and was the first to step out of Nanjing City.

Behind him, five hundred cavalry and thousands of soldiers and horses attacked Zheng's army in the smoke.

In the smoke, hundreds of Qing cavalry swarmed up.

Liang Huafeng stabbed the horse in his hand, and a Zheng Army soldier fell to the ground immediately.

In the chaos, these more than 500 cavalrymen were like the god of death, mercilessly harvesting the lives of Zheng Jun.

"Go back to camp and hold on!" Yu Xin quickly ordered.

The Zheng troops who were originally fighting against the Qing army quickly threw down all kinds of artillery and retreated hastily.

Many Zheng troops were slaughtered wantonly by the Qing cavalry during their retreat, and died in confusion on the battlefield.

Liang Huafeng led his troops to Yu Xin's camp, and saw only a finger on the horse in his hand.

A large number of Qing troops swarmed towards the gap destroyed by artillery fire, and directly entered the Zheng Army's camp.

At the same time, Guan Zhongzhong led his troops to fight and came towards Yu Xin from the north.

Although in the Nanjing area, Zheng Jun's troops and horses had an absolute advantage.

But at this time, on the battlefield of Yifengmen, the Qing army concentrated its superior forces, using less to attack more, to suppress Yu Xin's troops.

bang bang bang-

Gunshots rang out, and in the camp, a large number of Zheng Jun soldiers fired back.

Hundreds of Qing troops were killed and injured.

But Zheng Jun only has Qianfeng Town and Zhongchong Town in Yuxin here.

Zheng Jun only had at most 2,500 armored men in his town.

The number of soldiers in the two towns is only five thousand.

Under the impact of tens of thousands of Qing troops, the Zheng army, which had been blasted for a long time by the Qing army's artillery fire, was quickly defeated.

The entire army in Qianfeng Town was wiped out and Yu Xin was captured.

Zhongchong Town suffered heavy casualties. Deputy General Xiao Gongzhu died in the battle, and Commander-in-Chief Xiao Gongchen escaped from the water.

Zheng's camp quickly fell, and thousands of soldiers and horses were brutally defeated and massacred by the Qing army.

Weng Tianyou, the left admiral who was closest to Yifeng Gate, was unable to rescue him and was also defeated by the Qing army.

After the Qing army won the first battle, it not only boosted their morale, but also eliminated their fear of the Zheng army since the victory at Zhenjiang.

Moreover, Lang Tingzuo and others quickly sent troops to garrison and reinforce Yu Xin's camp.

Zheng Jun was directly cut into two pieces.

Weng Tianyou, Han Ying, Ma Xin, Wu Hao and other troops south of Yifeng Gate were all cut off from Zheng Chenggong's main force.

Zheng Chenggong was shocked when he learned that Yu Xin had failed.

He quickly ordered Ma Xin and others to abandon the camp and take a boat to meet him.

At the same time, in order to stabilize his position, Zheng Chenggong ordered the main force to move camp overnight and use Lime Mountain and Guanyin Mountain as their bases to prepare for a decisive battle with the Qing army.

That night, the civil and military forces of the Qing army in Nanjing met again, preparing to complete their victory in one battle and engage in a decisive battle.

"My lords, there are fifty or sixty thousand armored men in Zheng's army. Now in the battle of Yifengmen, thousands of Zheng's troops were killed, but Zheng Chenggong still has fifty thousand in armor!"

Liang Huafeng said solemnly: "Our army has less than 20,000 soldiers, and there are less than 15,000 armored men!"

"Once Zheng's army is reunited, with just over 10,000 armored men facing off against 50,000 thieves, our army will have no chance of winning!"

"Tomorrow is our only chance! Only by defeating Zheng Chenggong's main force of 30,000 armor while Ma Xin and others are still moving camp can our army win!"

All the Manchu and Han officials looked at the map and nodded.

Zheng Chenggong's more than 50,000 armors have now been damaged by thousands, but there are still as many as 50,000!

Fortunately, Ma Xin and others were cut off by the Qing army and are now on the move.

Zheng Chenggong's main force now only has 30,000 armored men. But even so, his military strength was still twice that of the Qing army, not to mention that he still had thousands of iron men at his disposal.

To challenge such an opponent with just over 10,000 armors, the chances of winning are still slim, but this is already the best chance for the Qing army!

If there is any hesitation, once the two Zheng armies meet and Zheng Chenggong gathers 50,000 armors, then he will still be the winner of this battle!

"Okay! Tomorrow is the decisive battle. If Zheng Chenggong's main force can be defeated, then the crisis in Nanjing can be resolved." Kakamu spoke first.

The rest of the Qing army officials also nodded in support of Liang Huafeng's strategy.

But with more than 10,000 men in armor, they still lacked confidence to challenge Zheng Chenggong's main force.

"There are thirty thousand pirates in armor and eight thousand iron men. They are arrayed in the mountains."

"Our army has more than 10,000 armored soldiers to challenge, but the gap is still too huge." Guan Zhongzhong sighed.

"Only great disparity can create miracles!" Liang Huafeng clenched his fist and slapped the map hard.

"The Zheng army moved their camps overnight and reorganized their troops. Their physical strength was bound to be greatly exhausted."

"And our army's morale is high after today's victory. We have another night to rest and recuperate. Even before the battle, our Qing Dynasty has won by three points."

"Tomorrow's decisive battle, although there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, we may not be able to create a miracle as long as we use our lives!"

"Okay! Mr. Liang said it well, how can we create a miracle if there is no disparity!"

Lang Tingzuo laughed loudly and said: "Zheng Chenggong has made many mistakes since the First World War in Zhenjiang. Now his troops are scattered, and our army has occupied all the time, time and people. Even if he forms an array in the mountains, how can the favorable geographical location help him escape?" Dilemma!”

"Yes! Although the mountains are difficult and dangerous, making it impossible for our cavalry to exert their strength, Zheng Chenggong's own Iron Man Army will also have difficulty moving in the mountains. Our army will definitely win in the battle tomorrow!"

Guan Zhongzhong was also high-spirited and bluntly pointed out the shortcomings of Zheng Chenggong's formation.

In order to offset the Qing army's cavalry advantage, he chose to waste the soldiers' physical strength and move the camp to the mountains.

But as a result, not only Zheng Jun's physical strength will be weak tomorrow, but even the most elite Iron Man Army will have difficulty exerting force in the mountains.

What's more, the main cavalry force of the Qing army had already been destroyed in Zhenjiang.

Except for the more than 500 cavalrymen of Liang Huafeng's tribe and the 500 Hangzhou Eight Banners, there are no organized cavalry units in Jiangnan City.

The Iron Man Army, which the four thousand cavalrymen could not do anything about, if Zheng Chenggong chose to tie the Iron Man Army's hands and feet for the sake of these more than a thousand cavalrymen.

It is not certain who will benefit from this kind of formation in detail.

On the night of July 22, tens of thousands of Zheng troops moved their camps overnight, using Lime Mountain and Guanyin Mountain as assembly points to reorganize their troops.

Zheng Chenggong ordered all towns not to fight lightly without orders

Later, he ordered Wanli, the admiral, to block the road in front of the mountain.

Lin Sheng, the left Wuwei, and Chen Kui, the left Huwei, lined up at the foot of the mountain.

Huang An of Zuo Chong Town was in charge of the navy.

He personally supervised the right tiger guards Chen Peng and right Chongzhen Wanlu at the Yuewang Temple in front of Guanyin Gate, responsible for command and support.

The rest of Zheng's army all entered the mountains.

This formation is still a long snake formation, with Wan Yi's headquarters at the head of the snake, the main force of Zheng's army as the body of the snake, and Zheng Chenggong's center and reserves as the tail.

In addition, all the main force of Zheng's army is in the mountains, and only a few soldiers and horses are deployed on the road down the mountain.

It has quite the style of a street pavilion battle.

Each tribe stood on the tops of Lime Mountain and Guanyin Mountain, quietly waiting for the decisive battle.

The next day Liang Huafeng and others watched Zheng Jun's formation at the top of Nanjing City.

At this time, Zheng Jun, Ma Xin and other troops began to board the ship, preparing to join the main force of Zheng Jun.

Wan Yi and other four troops were arrayed outside the mountain, while the rest of the troops were hidden in the mountain.

Looking at everything in front of him, Liang Huafeng had an idea in his mind.

"My lords, Zheng Chenggong has set up a long snake formation again. Our army should attack the snake's head along the road with one army. General Mo Yuan will lead the main force out of Shence Gate and directly attack into the mountain and hit the snake's belly. In this way, Come, our army will definitely cut Zheng Jun into two pieces again and win this battle!"

"Okay!" Lang Tingzuo and others agreed.

"General Liang, apart from the defenders, we still have 12,000 armored men in Nanjing!"

"I will personally lead four thousand troops to attack along the main road. The remaining eight thousand troops will be handed over to your command. We must defeat Zheng's army again!" Kakamu said seriously.

"General, please rest assured. With eight thousand people, I can defeat Zheng Chenggong!" Liang Huafeng smiled slightly and immediately obeyed the order.

"In this case, time will not wait for me. Once Ma Xin and other thieves are allowed to join Zheng Chenggong, it will be difficult for our army to defeat the thieves."

Lang Tingzuo cupped his hands and said, "Generals, I'm leaving my favor to you."

"Your Majesty the Governor, you are serious. It is our duty to contribute to the imperial court." Liang Huafeng and others quickly returned the gift.

The heavy Nanjing city gate opened again, and General Kakamu and others led four thousand armored men out of Zhongfu Gate first, advancing along the main road to start a battle with Wanli and Wanyi.

The two sides went back and forth with equal numbers of casualties, and the war fell into a state of anxiety.

Then at this moment, the Shence Gate suddenly opened wide.

Liang Huafeng led the main force of the Qing army not to take the main road, but directly went out of Shencemen and took the small road towards Lime Mountain.

Chen Kui and Lin Sheng, who saw the troops at the foot of the mountain, saw them from a distance and did not dare to send troops without authorization, so they had to send people to report to Zheng Chenggong behind the formation.

Then in a moment, the Qing army swarmed like a mountain and launched a fierce attack on the four towns of Yang Zu, Yao Guotai, Yang Zheng and Lan Yan on the top of the mountain.

For a time, Zheng Jun used the mountains to fire guns, resisted desperately, and killed a group of Qing troops.

However, Liang Huafeng knew that Lime Mountain was of great importance and was the winner of the entire battle, so he personally led the team and eight thousand Qing troops attacked the mountain desperately.

The Qing army fought hard. Although Yang Zu and the four men tried their best to resist, they gradually failed. Zheng's defense line almost collapsed.

Although Zheng Jun's towns on the remaining hills intended to reinforce, Zheng Chenggong had orders, and he could not fight lightly without orders.

The generals did not dare to rescue without authorization, for fear of violating Zheng Chenggong's military orders and getting their own heads killed.

They had no choice but to fire artillery support from a distance and did not dare to leave their position.

Because Zheng Chenggong was located far back, and because too many troops were located in the mountains, the dense forests seriously hindered the line of sight and the transmission of military orders.

Therefore, Zheng Jun's command system fell into a semi-paralysis.

The armies were separated by mountains and could not be seen from up to down. They targeted the mountains. Seeing that the troops had succeeded on the mountain, they did not dare to retreat. They did not receive the order of success and did not rescue each other.

Due to mistakes in pre-war deployment, the various departments of the Zheng army had to watch helplessly as the four towns of Yang Zu were attacked and destroyed by the Qing army.

In the end, Liang Huafeng led his troops in a bloody battle and successfully captured the hilltop, cutting Zheng's army into two sections again.

Lan Yan died in the battle at Qianchong Town, and Yang Zu, Yang Zheng, and Yao Guotai fled with the remaining soldiers.

After seizing the hilltop, the morale of the Qing army was greatly boosted. Liang Huafeng quickly sent troops to swoop down the mountain and launched a charge from behind against the Zheng army blocking the road.

Wanli and Wanli were attacked from two sides by the Qing army, and their troops collapsed instantly.

Wan Li was captured, and Wan Yi fled into the Yangtze River and escaped by water.

It was only then that the reserve team sent by Zheng Chengjun arrived at the battlefield and tried to rescue them.

Then it was already over, the important place on the mountain had already been captured by Liang Huafeng.

At this time, various departments of the Zheng Army had received military orders and began to take action.

Liang Huafeng stood on the top of the mountain and decided to go all out to defeat the right tiger guards Chen Peng and You Chongzhen Wanlu sent by Zheng Chenggong, and then sweep the entire Zheng army.

In an instant, all Qing army troops rushed towards Zheng Jun's reinforcements from the top of the mountain.

Youchong Town Wanlu collapsed immediately, and Youhu Guard Chen Peng had more than 3,000 iron men under his command. (End of chapter)
