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

When Obai explained his idea, the Qing army generals applauded one after another.

Ao Shaobao's move was a surprise!

The main force left Shangluo and Wanqi went to Henan.

Although Shangluo's troops were the main force in both armies, the deadly force was actually the thousands of elite cavalrymen traveling in Henan.

Although in doing so, Obai himself had to take huge risks and ride thousands of miles to attack the main force of the shun army.

But once it succeeds, it will have the same effect as the Battle of Jingzhou in the past.

"Shaobao's talent is earth-shaking, far beyond what we can compare with."

"The last general is willing to follow Shaobao and make immortal contributions to the Qing Dynasty!" All the generals expressed their admiration.

"Okay!" Ao Bai said angrily: "Time waits for no one, seize the day and night. Our troops and horses are about to set off. We must recreate the glory of the Battle of Jingzhou!"

The Qing army had made up its mind, and Luo Tuo quickly led 45,000 elite armored soldiers to march southeast from Xi'an along the Shangluo Passage.

And Obai selected 10,000 elite cavalry from the army.

In Xi'an, they tried their best to raise horses and mules to prepare for a thousand-mile raid.

The main force of the Qing army that originally went south was equipped with more than 200,000 horses and mules.

It's a pity that the battle lasted for more than a year, and not only the troops but also the horses were severely damaged.

Even these horses and mules are only the last few thousand horses left.

With such a serious loss, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty controlled the sources of war horses such as Shaanxi-Gansu and Mongolia.

But it was impossible to make up for such heavy losses in a short period of time.

Fortunately, despite this, Obai still tried his best to collect more than 40,000 horses and mules in Xi'an.

Although it is shabby compared to the past, the equipment of Ten Thousand Cavalry is enough.

These 10,000 elite soldiers of the Qing Dynasty can have one person, four horses or even five horses.

Soon Obai was ready, and his 10,000 elite cavalry carried a large amount of grain, grass and supplies, just waiting for the Shangluo Qing army to be exposed in front of the Shun army to arouse the enemy.

This army of soldiers and horses will rush to Nanyang with lightning speed and defeat the main force of Shun Army in one fell swoop!

While the Qing army was preparing for a decisive battle, the Shun army was still attacking the city.

After capturing Jingzhou, the entire Jingxiang area was quickly occupied by the Dashun Army.

After capturing the entire Jingxiang, Li Laiheng and others did not hesitate at all.

Although the Shun army has fought many battles, the division's veterans are exhausted.

But compared with the Qing army, they are undoubtedly much better.

Facing an extremely empty Henan, Li Laiheng and others did not hesitate to directly march north.

The situation was as they expected. Even after Jia Hanfu tried his best to search for the troops in Henan's Green Camp, they also received support from the entire city of Xi'an.

But they could only gather a mere 8,000 armors to defend Nanyang.

As long as Nanyang is captured and Jia Hanfu's army is annihilated, the whole of Henan will fall into the hands of Li Laiheng and others effortlessly.

The Shun army could even cross the Yellow River directly, attack Hebei, which was also empty, and go straight to Huanglong.

Entering Beijing for the second time!

At the thought of this, the generals of the Shun Army were extremely excited.

Therefore, after Li Laiheng entered the army at the end of May, the Shun army set out to capture Nanyang in mid-June.

It's a pity that the city of Nanyang is strong and there are many defenders of the Qing army. There are even more than 1,000 Eighteen Banners soldiers all over the city of Xi'an.

Therefore, under the offensive of the Shun army, Jia Hanfu still resisted for many days.

Although the Shun Army has a large number of troops, in this case, it is impossible to defeat Nanyang without the help of red-coated artillery.

The heavy artillery Houshun army originally supported by Sun Kewang already had the ability to attack fortified cities.

It's just that the Shun army has artillery, but the artillery shells donated by Lord Sun were consumed in Jingxiang.

After a few hasty rounds, Shunjun's artillery went silent.

With Jia Hanfu's persistence, the Shun army, which had run out of ammunition, had to rely on Liu Tichun to search, manufacture and transport it to the front line from Jingxiang.

The entire Nanyang City was peaceful for a while and fell into a sit-down war.

Jia Hanfu also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that the pause in the fighting in Nanyang is only temporary. Once the artillery shells arrive, they will attack the city with all their strength.

Under the tragic casualties, the originally demoralized Green Camp soldiers will definitely be shaken.

Jia Hanfu also knew this well, and had been able to resist the Shun army before.

One is that the Shun army lacks ammunition, and the other is that there are Eight Banners soldiers in the city.

More importantly, Nanyang also had Obai's Shaanxi-Gansu Army to count on, so he was not completely desperate.

So after a few rounds of hasty fighting by the Shun army, Nanyang City was able to survive the resistance.

But once the Shun army has enough ammunition, the fall of Nanyang will be inevitable.

Therefore, during the meditation period, Jia Hanfu could only look to the northwest with longing eyes.

It was hoped that Obai could lead his troops to relieve the siege.

If there are no reinforcements on the side defending the city, then the defense will be to the death.

Oboi's Shaanxi-Gansu Army is not only the hope of Nanyang, but also the hope of our Qing Dynasty.

Once this large army did not come for reinforcements for a long time, the Green Camp in the city was completely shaken.

Or they were defeated at the hands of Shunjun.

Then the people of Nanyang will be out of control, and the destruction of the city will be a matter of course.

Jia Hanfu not only hoped that Obai would come early, but he was also worried that he would be defeated by the Shun army in Nanyang due to lack of preparation. He was even more worried that the Shun army's artillery would fire again and break his own Nanyang.

Under this contradictory mentality, the governor of Henan really lived like a year.

It has been like this for more than two months, and the hard days have finally turned around.

In the Shunjun camp outside the city, a scout quickly broke into the camp.

"Report——!"

"The 30,000 red artillery shells transported by the Anhui government have arrived in Xinye and will be delivered soon!" A scout knelt down on one knee and shouted in the big tent.

"Old Liu is so capable. He really deserves to be able to feed so many soldiers and horses in Badong!" In the big tent, the generals of the Shun army were overjoyed and praised him one after another.

Liu Tichun could feed more than 10,000 armored soldiers by relying on Badong, and allowed the common people to live and work in peace and contentment. He could also accumulate military supplies and go out to fight for a long time.

He is just like Sun Kewang from Yunnan in the past.

Although the difficulty of operating a county and a province is not at the same level.

But Liu Tichun also showed his abilities after entering Jingxiang.

Not only did tens of thousands of Shun troops have constant food and fodder, but they were also able to produce so many artillery shells in such a short period of time.

It shows what he can do!

It's just that although the artillery shells have arrived quickly, the news that the Qing troops have left Shangluo has also spread to the army.

"Uncles, our army's artillery shells are about to arrive, but the Tatars are already leaving Shangluo."

"The main force of our army is gathered in Nanyang, and there are only two troops in the inner city, Wang Guangxing and He Zhen."

"The troops in Neixiang are too weak. Once Wang Guangxing and He Zhen cannot stop Obai when our army attacks the city, our army will make the same mistake as Jingzhou in Nanyang!"

In the tent, Li Laiheng spoke slowly, his eyes full of solemnity. "This Obai is so fast!" Hao Yaoqi sneered: "It's just that now that our army has received the news, and there is Lao Liu in Jingxiang, our army does not need to disperse to get food."

"Even if he comes, I, Dashun, have nothing to be afraid of!"

Now under Nanyang City, the main force of the Shun Army no longer needs to camp for hundreds of miles like fourteen years ago, spreading out to search for food and grass while attacking the city.

If Li Guo had enough food and fodder at that time, and a hundred thousand soldiers could unite in one place, Luck Dehun would be dead if he came!

Many people said that the disastrous defeat was due to Li Guo's carelessness and failure to set up waiting warnings.

But at that time, they were dispersed to eat. Unless the Shun army with hundreds of miles of battalions received news from He Tengjiao several days in advance and knew that the Qing army was about to invade, they would have time to adjust their deployment.

Otherwise, what would happen if Luckard got under his nose and dispersed into such a compliant army?

Can a company and battalion hundreds of miles away complete the adjustment and convergence for the first battle within a day or two?

Fortunately, there is no food crisis for the Shun army now. Tens of thousands of armored men gathered together and were able to quickly fight the Qing army with five-fingered fists.

So Hao Yaoqi and others were naturally not afraid.

"Old Hao is right." Yuan Zongdi said slowly: "There are more than 58,000 elites in each battalion!"

"We won another great victory at Baoqing, killing countless Tatars, and even defeated Jingxiang. Our morale is at its peak!"

"Even if Obai has arrived, most of the soldiers under his command are new soldiers and green battalions."

"Even if he has now received the Eight Banners soldiers heading north, these direct descendants of the Tatars have long been exhausted!"

"In such a situation, why should I, Dashun, be afraid of him!"

"Not bad!" Ta Tianbao sneered: "The Eight Banners soldiers have been powerful for many years, but in reality they are just like that."

"In the past, we were beaten like that by Li Dingguo in Hengyang, and now we and Sun Kewang jointly defeated us in Baoqing!"

"Obai led a group of remnants and defeated generals, mixed with green battalions and new recruits. How can he compare with these old brothers from Shaanxi and Gansu in Dashun?"

"That's right." Dang Shouxu agreed: "Although our army has been besieging the city for more than two months, our brothers are full of food and drink, and are ready to try."

"The Eight Banners soldiers are no longer what they used to be, but our old brothers in the Dashun Army are now not only at high morale, but also have enough food and pay for many years. Their equipment is fully replenished and they have restored their former combat effectiveness!"

"Obai is here just in time. We can use his head, the most famous general of the Qing Dynasty, to pay homage to the late emperor!"

These warriors who broke into the camp were naturally familiar with military affairs, and the Shun Army already had the largest number of veterans among all the Han forces.

Even now, the veterans of the Qing Dynasty are not as numerous as the veterans of Shaanxi and Gansu in the Shun Army.

It has been more than half a year since the more than 58,000 armored elites had enough food.

He also experienced the Baoqing Victory and healed the mental trauma of being defeated by the Eight Banners in the past.

After capturing Jingxiang and plundering it, armor, bows and arrows, and muskets were all available.

Even the war horses and artillery were supplemented by gifts from Bao Qingzhong and Sun Guozhu.

Under such circumstances, why should we be afraid of the Eight Banners soldiers?

What's more, the army that Obai put together was a mixed bag.

In front of the elite soldiers of Li Laiheng and others and the veterans of Shaanxi and Gansu, they were completely at a disadvantage.

Therefore, the generals of Shunjun were full of confidence.

"Little tiger, let's break camp and march westward. With my victorious army, we will definitely defeat Obai's rabble!" Hao Yaoqi said.

"That's right, break camp and march westward, destroying Obai in one battle!" Dang Shousu said with confidence.

All the generals who broke into the camp spoke one after another, wanting to join forces to advance westward and destroy Obai in one fell swoop.

Li Laiheng frowned slightly when he heard this.

He looked at the map and said slowly: "Uncles, what should we do if we go west to Nanyang?"

"Don't worry, little tiger." Hao Yaoqi said with a smile: "When our army destroys Obai, Jia Hanfu may surrender in despair."

"Even if he wants to bury Ao Bai with him, the green soldiers under his command will not agree."

"When the time comes, after a few rounds of artillery fire, Nanyang will be able to get it easily."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals nodded.

This battle is all about morale. Why haven't Nanyang's Green Camp soldiers collapsed yet?

In addition to the insufficient pressure from the surveillance of the Eight Banners soldiers and the Shun army, the most important thing is that there is also the support army of Obai that can be counted on.

If our Qing Dynasty’s number one Batulu were defeated.

The green camp guys in Nanyang are so stupid!

Li Zicheng didn't even dare to defend Beijing because of the lack of reinforcements.

He could not count on Yuan Zongdi being able to bring those troops to Beijing to defeat Dorgon and Wu Sangui to relieve him.

The Green Camp in Nanyang dared to resist now because of the presence of Ao Bai.

But once Obai is defeated, Nanyang will definitely not be able to defend it.

No matter how much the Eight Banners soldiers monitored him, no matter how much Jia Hanfu comforted him.

The green camp soldiers in Nanyang had no choice but to flee or surrender if they did not want to die.

"Little Tiger, just send a few thousand soldiers and horses to monitor Jia Hanfu. I'll go to the inner countryside and wait for Ao Bai to come."

Yuan Zongdi smiled and said: "When Obai is defeated, not only Nanyang, but the entire Central Plains will be within easy reach."

"Perhaps the Tatars will be frightened and flee directly outside the customs, leaving Hebei and Beijing directly to us."

The generals laughed loudly after hearing this. After experiencing the heart-warming battle of Baoqing, the Shun army no longer took the Qing army in their eyes.

But it's no wonder that in addition to the green battalion and new recruits, what Obai has in his hands are all defeated and tired troops.

There is indeed little capital in front of the Shaanxi-Gansu veterans who have regained their strength after a great victory in the Shun Army.

The generals of the Shun Army do have the capital to be proud of themselves.

"Uncles, if Ao Bai sees that our army is strong and retreats directly to Shangluo Pass to guard the dangerous points, what should we do?" Li Laiheng said slowly.

Judging from the hard power of both sides, Shunjun actually does have an advantage.

In a head-on confrontation, Li Laiheng and others have a very high chance of winning.

The Green Camp was no match for the Shun Army, let alone the Shun Army, which had experienced a great victory, had high morale, sufficient food and salary, complete equipment, and was completely transformed mentally and materially.

No matter how well trained the new recruits are, they will never be able to match the veterans.

The new recruits who have never even seen blood have a real chance of winning against the veterans of the Shun Army who have fought across most of the world.

As for the remaining Eight Banners soldiers, the Shun army had already been slaughtered arbitrarily in the Battle of Baoqing, not to mention that they had just come to Shaanxi and Gansu through hardships from Yunnan and Guizhou, and were about to leave Shangluo and enter Nanyang Mansion.

Therefore, the Shun army has a high chance of winning in a frontal battle, but Obai is also the only remaining veteran of the Qing Dynasty.

If the main force of the shun army marches westward, they will wait for work in the inner countryside and wait for Ao Bai to come and be beaten.

Ao Bai has been fighting for decades, is he so stupid?

When people saw that the situation was not right, they turned around and entered the Shangluo Passage to guard the various passes.

Is there anything Shunjun can do against Aobai?

With the terrain like Shangluo Pass, Obai drilled back and defended the pass.

What else does Shunjun want?

The veterans who broke into the camp also frowned when they heard this. What Li Laiheng said made sense.

Ao Bai's No. 1 Batulu is not just for nothing, even Wu Sangui has to be frightened.

Would someone be so stupid as to come to your door to ask for a beating? (End of chapter)
