"Lord Belle, if you continue like this, your achievements will be robbed!" Ji Bilong looked at the grain truck that was stuck in the quagmire not far away, and his eyes were so anxious that his eyes were on fire, "Last night, the news came back, saying that Kong Youde's green battalion had caught up with the southerners near Zhengshan and beheaded more than a thousand!" ”

He grabbed the guard next to him, pointed at the grain cart and yelled, "Don't help push it yet!" Then he turned to Bai Yintu and said, "The previous time, His Royal Highness Prince Yu ordered the army to enter Nanjing quickly, and everyone else rushed forward, but Lord Belle did not advance but retreated, and he had to come to Dan to undertake this errand of protecting grain......

Ahanikan glared at him fiercely, "Suppression, how do you talk to Lord Belle?" ”

Bai Yintu didn't think it was wrong, and waved his horsewhip, "Let others go, we won't fight." He said softly to Kubilon and the others, "Although the war has been going well recently, we should not be careless. Shang Kexi's people are too weak, and I don't feel at ease.

"I've seen Luck Dehun a few times in Beijing, and he's not a mediocre person. The Nanren can defeat his army of 60,000 people, it must be a bit of a trick. ”

It turned out that a few days ago, heavy snow fell in the southern part of Dantu, which made the roads muddy and slippery, and it was extremely difficult for the Qing army to travel the grain trucks from Dantu. Duoduo originally planned to let Shang Kexi share some men and horses to help transport the grain, but Bai Yintu was worried that the Ming army would take advantage of the heavy snow to sneak attack the grain road, so he volunteered to escort him.

"Lord Belle," said Curb Pilon still unwillingly, "the barbarians have always been weak and afraid of war, so why should we be so cautious?"

"Besides, the main force of the southerners is still in Huguang. Recently, the troops who went south have won nearly 10,000 heads, which cannot be faked. Let's hand over the grain cart to Shang Kexi, and then rush to Jiangning......"

"Needless to say." Bai Yintu raised his hand to interrupt him and looked around, "My army of more than 100,000 people attacked Jiangning with the power of thunder, and the southerners could not resist the edge, so they could only make some ideas on our army's grain and grass." Therefore, as long as the grain protection road is thorough, the overall situation of the southern expedition is established!

"As for the attack on Nanjing, whether we have more 10,000 horses with the yellow flag or less 10,000 horses will not hinder the overall situation."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the advice of the Queen Mother when he left Beijing - thinking that back then, Meng Yuan was also the same in the Central Plains. But they did not cherish the inheritance of their ancestors, and were killed by the southerners, and now they can only serve the Qing Dynasty. Since the day the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there has been no way out, if you can't pacify Jiangnan in one fell swoop, the Mongols will definitely be a lesson from the past!

"What about a loss?" He sighed, "As long as you follow the Empress Dowager's decree and help Prince Yu sweep the south of the Yangtze River, it will be a great achievement." He said to the general beside him, "After breaking through Jiangning City, Prince Yu will also wave his army to the south, and there will be military achievements waiting for you in Zhejiang, Fujian and other places." Alright, let's go. ”

He nodded reluctantly, turned around and beckoned the soldiers to help push the grain cart.

At the same time, it was like a New Year in the army of Duoduo. All kinds of good news continue to come back from the front.

Kong Youde is a good mountain and won more than 1,000 yuan.

Li Guoying drove the Ming army fleeing south all the way through Fangshan. The southerners were so frightened that they discarded their weapons and baggage along the way.

Mu Jilun, Zhu Mala, and Geng Zhongming's men and horses arrived in Nanjing, surrounded the east and south of the city, and attacked day and night. The defenders of Nanjing, however, did not dare to fight, so they only retreated in the city and defended it, and sent an envoy to Mu Jilun to ask for mercy and ask for their emperor to be released from the south of the city.

The generals of the Duoduo army were all anxious, but they were afraid that the city would be destroyed before they arrived in Nanjing. It was just the military order of Duoduo to quickly attack Nanjing, and for a time the various units of the "Southern Expedition" showed their abilities and desperately urged the soldiers to speed up the march.

More than 100,000 horses want to maintain a regular formation and move forward, and they have extremely high requirements for training level and command ability. In order to ensure that the whole army could be gathered together and that the ranks were neat and orderly, Tudor could only accommodate the slowest heavy infantry, artillery and other troops, and the daily march did not exceed 15 or 6 miles.

At this time, he ordered to speed up the march, and the cavalry and light infantry naturally left the other branches behind, hoping to catch up with the great achievement of conquering Nanjing.

In less than three days, Duoduo's main team was stretched into a long and narrow strip, the front team was already about to see Chunhua, and Shang Kexi of the back team escorted the baggage just past Jurong.

Although Duoduo felt that such a march was a little inappropriate, he thought that more than half of the Ming army in Jiangnan had suffered casualties, and the rest only dared to hide in the city of Nanjing, so he did not interfere much, and only ordered all departments to be diligent in investigating.

……

The Lishui camp of the Ming army is more than 60 miles away from Jurong.

Zhang Jiayu and several officers entered the big tent with a happy face, and saluted Zhu Linmi: "Your Majesty, as you expected, the southern invasion thieves have been scattered into four pieces in order to chase and lure the enemy's Korean army. Among them, the main force of the thief army dragged out a long line of more than 20 miles, with no formation at all, and flaws could be seen everywhere. ”

He added in a deep voice, "It's just...... The Korean army and the people they carried suffered heavy casualties, and the entire army was almost annihilated......"

Zhu Linmiao only nodded indifferently, "Da Ming will remember their exploits." Then he immediately gestured to the map, "Tell me more about the current situation of Jianyu." ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Jiayu pointed to Nanjing on the map, "More than 12,000 people from the captives Geng Zhongming, and 13,000 people from Mu Jilun and Zhu Mala are now gathered under the city of Nanjing, and the siege momentum is very fierce. ”

"There are 5,000 broken camps led by General Zhen in Nanjing, and if necessary, the police in the city can be transferred to help defend it, so it should be no big problem." Zhu Linmiao has seen the terrifying defense of the Nanjing city wall, and with the combat power of the Dragon Guard, it is necessary to rely on nitrocellulose to blow up the gap to break the city, and less than 30,000 Qing troops have no chance at all.

Zhang Jiayu continued: "Kong Youde and Li Guoying each led nearly 10,000 horses and horses to chase the Korean army in the direction of Gaozi and Fangshan. If the former breaks through Cui and Mianbu, he will be able to reach the city of Nanjing within two days. The latter will take at least five days to return to the vicinity of Chunhua. ”

Zhu Linmiao smiled and said: "Two days is not enough, and it doesn't hurt for them to gnaw on the city wall of Nanjing." All we have to do is concentrate on the Dordor army! ”

Zhang Jiayu immediately began to play the information he had just received from the main force of Duoduo, "Your Majesty, the front end of the Tudor army is more than 4,000 in the Ashan Department and more than 3,000 in the Heluo Club. At present, I have just arrived more than ten miles east of Chunhua. ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded, Ah Shan and He Luo Hui are the subordinates of the White Flag and the White Flag, both of which are descendants of the Dolgon brothers, so it is not surprising that they are at the forefront.

Zhang Jiayu said again: "More than 10,000 people from the Thief Gong Adai Department should be responsible for covering the left flank of the captive army, and they are marching on the north side of Xiaoshan and Mashan.

"Then there are more than 10,000 Guan Ning troops led by Zu Runze. Zhang Hongmo brought the remaining nearly 20,000 Guan Ning troops, as well as some of Kong Youde and Li Guoying's men and horses to follow, and now just passed the Qianlin area. ”

It can be seen from this that the Qing army is anxious. Whether it was Guan Ningjun, Kong Youde, Li Guoying and other troops, they all rushed to the front as fast as possible, and the heavy infantry and baggage could only fall in the rear, and the middle was sixteen or seventeen miles away.
