Chapter 221 Shen Zhixiang fled when he heard the news
Fighting Jing Chu, crossing the moat, and rushing into the sky.
The sons of the three armies are my courage, and I am just waiting for leisure.
Compete for the first place in breaking the Tartars, and earn fame by smashing the Yellow Dragon.
The ambition shakes the mountains, the ambition shakes the abyss, and the Manyi is bound to drive out the old rivers and mountains.
When the monarchs met in Jinling, Lingxiao Pavilion was famous.
Today, I drank the celebration wine, and my ambition was unrewarded.
Come to Japan, show your skills, and write spring and autumn with blood.
During the banquet, Wang Yan was very emotional and high-spirited, and the heroic spirit he sang made all the generals infected, and a sense of pride rose in their hearts.
"Cai~" The generals in the hall waited for Wang Yan to sing, and they all received a salute and shouted in unison: "Cai~"
After a night of hearty celebration banquet, Wang Yan did not stay in Jingzhou City, he left his brother Wang Fuzhi to temporarily act as the Jingzhou government, and left the general Liu Tichun to lead the loyal army of more than 15,000 people, together with more than 10,000 prisoners, to guard Jingzhou, and rebuild the city, he led the two armies of the superintendent pro-army, loyalty, and loyalty, together with 70,000 elites, with the momentum of great victory, with the state of thunder sweeping the hole, killing Changde.
On the Yangtze River, thousands of sails, 10,000 ships, 70,000 elite divisions, covering the river and crossing, the flag covering the sky and the sun, weapons and armor, the cold light is dazzling.
Needless to say, Wang Yan's original men and horses were all elite soldiers who survived after the bloody battle in Yangzhou, and the adapted Shun army was also a division of a hundred battles that once crisscrossed the Central Plains.
At this time, the river breeze was slow, blowing the big tricks, and also blowing the red helmet and robe on Wang Yan's head.
Daming's "Yan Jing is lucky, and the Holy Emperor is born", which always belongs to the fire virtue among the five virtues, and the Ming Dynasty also has the saying of "triple fire". First, the Ming Cheng Song Dynasty is a fire virtue, which is a fire; Second, the surname of the great tomorrow is Zhu, Zhu is red, red belongs to fire, this is the second fire; Third, the Ming character is the sun and the moon, the sun is the pole of the yang, and the day is matched with vermilion, and it also becomes a fire, which is the three fires.
Daming Chonghuo, military uniforms and helmets are all red, Wang Yan regards it as the morning glow, a red color, and his heart can't help but be ambitious, "With this male soldier in hand, the governor will restore the heart of the mountains and rivers, and it will be easy!" ”
Behind him, a group of Ming army generals, looking at the Ming army assembled on the shore, couldn't help but think deeply, and they all had the spirit of directing the country.
Wang Yan's army crossed the Yangtze River, looking at Changde and marching forward, and Songzi, Gong'an, Lizhou, Shimen and other prefectures and counties occupied by Qing soldiers along the way fell one after another.
Wuling City is the seat of Changde Mansion, and Shen Zhixiang, the Duke of Shun of the Qing Dynasty, led 7,500 people with white armor and white flags, as well as a green battalion garrison here.
In the past few days, as Geng Zhongming led the main force to the north, the original retreat to Xiangxi to block Yinxi and Gao Yigong, once again marched into Changde, harassing the city occupied by the Qing soldiers, Shen Zhixiang led the troops to recruit and suppress several times, but the high-level Ming army was either scattered and hidden, or escaped into Wuling Mountain, so that he returned several times in vain.
Shen Zhixiang's elite cavalry had almost no countermeasures in the face of the elusive Ming army, so that except for the city, the country towns in Wuling were all controlled by the Ming army.
The Qing army sent out the city to the countryside to collect grain and grass, but basically they went again and did not return, and in the end the Qing soldiers did not have a thousand people, and they did not dare to go out of the city at all.
The harassment of the Ming army annoyed Shen Zhixiang, and the battle situation in Jingzhou also restrained part of his mind, for him, once Jingzhou was defeated, he was equivalent to a lone army trapped in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was very likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the Ming army, but Jingzhou was guarded by Geng Zhongming's elite soldiers, and it was expected that there should be no problems.
At that time, his contact with Wuchang was blocked by the Ming army in Yuezhou, and Jingzhou was surrounded by the Ming army like an iron bucket, and his sentry cavalry naturally did not get any information.
On this day, Shen Zhixiang was sitting in the yamen, writing a letter to Luck Dehun, preparing to send a messenger again to try and ask him how to deal with the current situation, but a Qing soldier colonel broke into the hall in a panic.
When Shen Zhixiang saw him like this, he felt irritable for a while, thinking that Gao Yigong was harassing him again, and then angrily reprimanded: "As Niu Lu Ezhen, he commands hundreds of elites, and he is panicked. ”
The white-armored Niu Lu listened to the scolding, and the panic on his face did not weaken in the slightest, but said with a crying voice: "Grandpa Guo, the Ming army captured Jingzhou, and King Huaishun died~"
"What?" Shen Zhixiang was shocked when he heard this, "Dog minion, you dare to shake the heart of the army, where did you get the news." ”
Shen Zhixiang and Geng Zhongming have known each other for many times, and retrospectively, they are both Mao Shuai's subordinates, so they know each other very well and trust his ability very much.
The Ming army besieged Jingzhou, which made him worried, but he didn't expect the Ming army to take Jingzhou and force Geng Zhongming to death.
That Niu Lu was reprimanded by Shen Zhixiang one after another, and he was very aggrieved in his heart, what he said was everything, so he buckled his head to Shen Zhixiang again and again, and kept explaining: "The slave does not dare to deceive the master, Wang Yan, the Duke of Chu in the Southern Ming Dynasty, has led the army across the river, and killed Changde in a mighty way, and the states and counties along the way have rebelled and surrendered." ”
Shen Zhixiang saw that Niu Lu kowtowed repeatedly, not as if he was fake, his face couldn't help but turn pale, and he hurriedly sent someone to inquire in order to confirm again.
One day, Tanma reported to Shen Zhixiang, saying: "The Ming army has more than 70,000 people, the armor is clear, the flag covers the sun, the swords and guns are numerous, very elite, its brigade is still in the public security, but the forward to Lizhou, along the way the state and county have slaughtered the officials appointed by the Qing Dynasty, and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, its soldiers and horses will go to Wuling City within two days." ”
After getting the exact information, Shen Zhixiang couldn't help but look cold, now there is not much way for him to go, either to guard Wuling City and wait for Luck Dehun to come to help, or to take advantage of the fact that the Ming army has not yet arrived in the city, quickly abandon the city and leave, looking for an opportunity to cross the river and return to the north.
At this time, Shen Zhixiang was completely cut off from Wuchang, and he didn't know about Luckdhun at all.
Although he knew that Lord Belle would never see him trapped in Changde and would inevitably send troops to rescue him, he didn't know if he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived.
The battle of Jingzhou, the fall of Geng Zhongming and the Eight Banners of Huangjia Han, shocked the morale of the Ming army, and also deeply affected the Qing army, for Shen Zhixiang, he is a duke, and Geng Zhongming is a prince, and Geng Zhongming's soldiers and horses are more than three times his number, and now Geng Zhongming is defeated, so what reason does he have to defend Wuling City?
On February 19 of the second year of Longwu, Shen Zhixiang abandoned Changde, only took 7,500 people from the Eight Banners of the Baijia Han Dynasty, and looked north along Dongting Lake, hoping to find an opportunity to cross the river in Huarong and return to the land of Hubei controlled by the Qing court.
After Shen Zhixiang led the Eight Banners to abandon the city, the green battalion soldiers in Wuling City immediately opened the city and surrendered to Duyinxi, and the Ming army seized Changde, the gateway to northern Hunan from the new.
At the same time, Yuan Zongdi, a general who stayed in Lizhou, found out the news of the Qing army's abandonment of the city, and he immediately reported Wang Yan on the side of Pegasus, and led 5,000 cavalry to chase and kill with Wang Shixiu.
Shen Zhixiang fled all the way to Huarong, but was blocked by the Yangtze River, coupled with the lack of ships, and was forced to escape into Huarong County, and soon Wang Yan led the main force to join Yuan Zongdi, and surrounded 7,500 Eight Banner soldiers in the city.
