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

Chapter 88
In this case, Hong Chengchou could launch an attack on the Ming army's Huguang defense line with only [-] to [-] troops.

In February, thousands of Eight Banners soldiers led by Luo Tuo arrived in Changde, Hunan.

Together with Hong Chengchou, Li Benshen, the admiral of the left bid, and Zhang Yong, the admiral of the right bid, a total of 6000 people.

Advance by land and water from Changde, reverse Liu Wenxiu's route of attacking Changde from Chenzhou, and attack Chenzhou up the river.

Along the way, in view of the great power of the Daxi Army, Luo Tuo and others did not dare to underestimate the enemy and advance cautiously with Sun Guozhu's map.

As a result, since the main force of the Ming army had retreated, the important town of Chenzhou was almost an empty city, and Luo Tuo and others easily succeeded.

At the same time, Li Ruchun, Wang Ping, Nan Yikui and other troops, totaling 1000 troops, attacked Wugang from Baoqing.

Yang Wu, the chief military officer who guarded Wugang and other places, led his troops and horses and had already evacuated Wugang. Not surprisingly, the important town of Wugang also fell into the hands of the Qing army.

At this point, the two important towns of Chenzhou and Wugang fell, and the Huguang defense line that Sun Kewang had run for many years collapsed.

From March to March, Yuanzhou and Jingzhou fell one after another, and all the strongholds of the Ming army in Huguang were lost.

Hong Chengchou and others were overjoyed and began to lead their troops into the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

However, the Yunnan-Guizhou area is condescending, with vertical and horizontal ditches, which has natural geographical pressure on Huguang.

The soldiers and horses of Xiying were extremely powerful in the past, so Hong Chengchou, like Wu Sangui, did not dare to be careless and marched carefully along the way.

He was afraid that he would fall into the trap of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu and be lured into Yungui to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

In fact, Hong Chengchou couldn't help being careless. The main Manchu and Mongolian forces of the Qing court stayed on the sidelines along the way, fearing that they would be defeated in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Governor Hong's [-] to [-] soldiers and horses are not even as large as in another time and space due to Sun Guozhu's containment.

The Ming army had no less than 20 combatable soldiers. As long as he jumped out and took a bite, Hong Chengchou's life would be gone.

As a result, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Bai Wenxuan, Ma Jinzhong, Ma Bao, Ma Weixing, Gao Wengui, Dou Mingwang, Wu Zisheng, Di Sanpin, Li Rubi, Ta Xince, Yang Wu, Gao Qilong, Xu Yanwei and others were either in Yunnan or on their way to Yunnan. On the road.

The Qing army penetrated deep into Yunnan and Guizhou with ease, and Hong Chengchou occupied Zhenyuan, Huangping, Pingyue, Tongren and other Guizhou prefectures with little effort.

In April, we arrived in Guiyang, where Sun Kewang has been operating for ten years.

Guiyang's city defense has been repaired by Sun Kewang, and it is actually quite defensive.

But now there is no decent army in Guizhou.

The huge Guiyang was no different from an empty city as Liu Wenxiu's last few thousand troops withdrew in March.

Hong Chengchou and Luo Tuo easily entered Guiyang and reported their victory to the Qing court.

So far, most of Guizhou and all the strongholds in Huguang have fallen into the hands of the Qing army.

On December 25, the Qing government issued an order for a three-way march into the southwest.

In January, Zhao Butai, who served as the commander of the Qing army on the South Road, led [-] garrisons to the Eight Banners, went up the river and arrived in Wuchang.
Because Guangxi's frontline national security cannot move lightly.

After careful consideration, the Qing army squeezed out thousands of capable green camps from Jiangxi, Henan and other places to supplement Zhao Butai's strength.

On the first day of February, Zhao Butai set off from Wuchang and arrived in Hengzhou, Hunan on the [-]th.

Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth and allocated 3000 troops to Zhang Guozhu, the general on Zhao Butai's left side.

Zhao Butai arrived in Guilin, Guangxi on the fifth day of March with this cobbled together army of more than ten thousand troops.

Passing through Nandan and Nadi areas that Sun Kewang passed by in the past, he went north and entered Guizhou.

Because the Ming army did not have a decent army in Guizhou.

Therefore, this Qing army of more than 1 people was invincible, and successively captured Dushan, Duyun and other Qiannan prefectures and counties.

So far, southern Guizhou has also fallen into the hands of the Qing army.

In May, the Qing army's three-way march was a great success, not only pulling out Chongqing, Chenzhou, Wugang and other peripheral strongholds in Yunnan and Guizhou.

Even though Guizhou, which had become the rear area in the past, most of its areas, including Guiyang, fell into the hands of the Qing army.

Almost all the achievements of Xiying since leaving Yunnan were lost.

Without a decent battle, so much territory was lost, and the entire southwest situation was already shaky in the blink of an eye.

The king of Jin, Li Dingguo, had been campaigning against Yongchang, using the excuse of illness to control the Yongli court.

Until March, the imperial court issued an edict to recall Liu Wenxiu, and soldiers from all walks of life gathered in Yunnan, and Liu Wenxiu was completely defeated.

He then led his troops to Kunming as a victor.

The internal strife among the three kings was not simply that Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu joined forces to defeat Sun Kewang.

This is just the first stage.

In the second stage, the enmity between Jin and Shu did not really end until Liu Wenxiu was completely defeated, returned to Kunming in April and was deprived of all power by Li Dingguo, and lived idle.

Now, Jin Wang Li Dingguo has been taking over from Anlong for two years, first defeating Sun Kewang.Then he outwitted Liu Wenxiu.

After one operation, no one in Xiying could threaten his position.

The infighting among the three kings has completely ended, but in Kunming, facing the rolling Qing army, Li Dingguo did not have much joy on his face.

But theoretically speaking, the three-way Qing army could only have about [-] soldiers.

Its strength is far inferior to the 20 army in the hands of Li Dingguo.

Even with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Doni.

A Ming army of more than 20 against a Qing army of 10,000+ may not be unable to fight.

And not only that, the Qing army exhausted its troops on expeditions. After going deep into Guizhou, food and wages were unsustainable. After occupying Guiyang, Hong Chengchou and others' logistical supply lines were stretched to the extreme, and they had temporarily lost their offensive capabilities.

In terms of time, it is almost summer, and most of the Qing troops are northern soldiers and generals who cannot tolerate the scorching heat.

Doni's main force of Manchuria and Mongolia has been waiting and watching, and Kuidong's troops are about to counterattack Chongqing, cutting off Wu Sangui's retreat.

If when Wu Sangui returned to rescue Chongqing, 20 Ming troops rushed out, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Hong Chengchou and Zhao Butai were likely to be wiped out.

In view of this, Governor Hong of the Qing Dynasty was naturally very upset.

Seeing that great things are about to come true, his long-cherished wish to destroy Nanming and have everyone in the world shave their heads like him is about to be fulfilled. Governor Hong is extremely excited.

They were also worried about the Qing army, which was tortured by logistics and climate and had its combat effectiveness greatly reduced.

The boat capsized in the sewer, and was kicked by Li Dingguo just like in the battle of Hengyang.

Amidst joy and fear, Governor Hong racked his brains and finally decided to resort to a tactic of feigning surrender against Li Dingguo.

Prepare to fool Li Dingguo to stay in Yunnan well.

After autumn, he hoarded a wave of grain and grass in Guizhou.

Doni entered Guizhou and Wu Sangui returned to Guiyang.

At that time, the four Qing armies gathered together and turned against Li Dingguo for a decisive battle.

However, although Li Dingguo took power alone in history, he delayed the fighter plane for half a year.

Made a series of decisions that were even more blood-spitting than when the three kings were fighting among themselves.

But his good brother Sun Kewang is not in Beijing now, but in Guangxi!
