In the end, Santua did not escape the annihilation of the army.

Although he did not perish in Xiangyang.

However, after the fiasco of Xiangyang, the Holy Sect Army, which attacked east from Fangxian County, relied on its absolute numerical superiority to defeat the 1,008 banners and more than 2,000 regiments that blocked them, and together with Wang Cong'er and others who pursued and killed from Xiangyang to the west, the remnants of Santua were surrounded in Liuzi Pass, and after two days of bloody battles, the Jingzhou general Santua and the remaining less than 1,508 banner troops were all wiped out in Liuzi Pass.

It was a turning point.

Because of the annihilation of his whole army, it represents the collapse of the Qing army in northern Hubei and southern Henan, and represents that the Holy Sect Army has the ability to crush the Qing army on the battlefield, and then the combination of Yang Zhong and Wang Cong'er crossed the Han River, and then the people of Fancheng, Dengzhou, and Tang County raised troops one after another, and soon they joined the Holy Sect Army of Song Zhiqing under Nanyang City, and then the Nanyang Green Battalion mutinied and cut down the general army of Nanyang Town. In this way, the entire counties of the Nanyang Basin fell into the hands of the Holy Sect, and those poor people, under the slogan of free food and worship to God, held high the dragon and hugged the sun and moon flags to open the county seats, and beat the local tyrants to divide the fields like carnivals, and then the local patriarchs turned into magistrates and began to exercise power as officials of the Chinese Holy Dynasty. After leaving Song Zhiqing, the great patriarch of Henan, to continue to defend Nanyang, Yang Zhong and Wang Cong'er led the most elite infantry cavalry with 3,000 each to turn south, quickly conquer Zaoyang, and then go south to Suizhou.

At this time, the Holy Sect Army on the southern front also conquered Jingmen and Yichang, and nearly 100,000 horses surrounded Jingzhou City, although the vast majority of these 100,000 horses were farmers with farm tools, but the Eight Banners of Jingzhou garrison were all that could be done after Santua took away all the elites.

So far, almost half of Hubei has been converted to the Holy Religion.

And the Qing army could not solve the danger of Jingzhou, and after the annihilation of Santua's army, they actually had no mobile combat forces.

Xiangyang, Yunyang, Nanyang and other places have all gone, Henan has only one Nanyang general army south of the Yellow River, Hubei has one Yichang town general soldier transferred to Nanjing, Anhui's green battalion is also in Nanjing, and Liu Zhixie is still attacking Lu'an Prefecture, Hunan two general soldiers, Zhenxiao and Yongzhou each one, but Zhenxiao even the general army was beheaded by the Miao people's army, and the green battalion in Yongzhou had to go to suppress the Miao people. Needless to say, the green battalion in Sichuan and the Eight Banners of General Chengdu are too busy to take care of themselves, the combined forces of the Eastern Sichuan Holy Sect and the White Lotus Sect are attacking the city and plundering the land, and all Qianlong can do is to transfer troops from Zhili Shandong and even Shanxi and other places in Shaanxi, and Shaanxi is not easy to say, because the Northern Sichuan Holy Sect Army has already entered Shaanxi. Besides, even if the soldiers in these places can be mobilized, it will take several months to arrive, and it can be said that in a short period of time, Qianlong has no ability to manage Shu Chang in Wuchang and those Eight Banners in Jingzhou, and can only rely on those local officials and gentry to organize regimental training to defend against the enemy.

But the regimental training can't beat the musket team of an entire brigade!

Those regimental exercises are all big swords and spears!

How did they fight with the First Brigade of the Holy Cult Army, which had evolved to the point of being shot in line? It is said that 3,000 brown bass riflemen are enough to defeat Guangzhou, and these hastily recruited regimental trainings are fundamentally crushed regardless of their training level or equipment level, and their will to fight is fundamentally crushed, and it is okay for them to stick to the city, but the question is which city in northern Hubei has no worshippers? Even if there were no worshippers and there were poor people in that city, could they resist the temptation to free food in the fields? Poor Liangjiang Governor Shu Chang was about to cry in Wuchang City, he had lost control of the jurisdiction at all, and even outside Wuchang City, there were small armed forces under the banner of the Holy Sect, and there were also people in Wuchang City, and some rich people actually fled to Changsha......

After all, Changsha looks safer.

The rapid erosion of the situation in Hubei made Fukangan, who shouldered the emperor's trust, have no choice.

He had to deal with Yang Feng quickly.

This demon is the spiritual leader of all those rebels, not only the worship of God, even the White Lotus Sect at this time began to play the dragon hugging the sun and moon flag, in essence with the worship of God Religion, and those Miao people also began to accept the doctrine of worship of God, according to the doctrine of worship of God, Miao people are also human race, although it is after Chi You, but Chi You and Yan Huang belong to the internal contradictions of the human race, Chi You himself is also one of the ancient gods, and the ancient gods are specially created by Haotian God to manage the world. Therefore, there is no difference between the Miao people and the Han people as far as Haotian God is concerned, and they are not the same concept at all from those demon clans, so those Miao people are naturally willing to worship the thighs of God Sect and Xianzun, so that Yang Feng has actually become the co-leader of all the rebel forces, and his occupation of Nanjing is like a banner and has become the confidence of all rebels.

As long as you can kill this demon, you can deal a blow to these rebels.

In short, Fukangan has no choice.

For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he had to fight Yang Feng in a decisive battle.

Just when the First Brigade of the Holy Sect Army led by Yang Zhong and Wang Cong'er defeated the 2,000 Green Battalion and 5,000 regiments of the Governor of Liangjiang in Suizhou in one fell swoop, and then marched into Suizhou City and threatened De'an Mansion amid the cheers of the people of Suizhou, Fukangan's army drove out of Zhenjiang.

This army included a full 20,000 banners.

And they are all transferred from Beijing, and they have a grit hatred for the demon, and the other is that they are well-equipped, and in view of the fact that the demon's ordinary weapons can't be killed, a large number of weapons such as lifting guns, small mountain splitting cannons, and even clay pot thunderbolts with black powder are specially made for them, ready to use grenades to kill this dog as soon as they meet, in short, they are also full of confidence. In addition to the Eight Banners of Beijing and the Eight Banners led by the General of Hangzhou, and then the Green Battalion transferred from Huguang and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang in Jiangxi, the total strength of the total strength exceeded 100,000, divided into three sides of the attack, the main force led by Fukangan was still attacking the Shence Gate, Jiangxi Governor and Admiral He Yucheng took 20,000 Green Battalions to attack Zhengyang, Zhenhuai and other gates, and the Hangzhou General led the army to attack the Chaoyang Gate, basically except for the Linjiang side, Nanjing was surrounded on three sides and attacked on all fronts.

Of course, the key is still the Divine Gate.

The situation in Nanjing determined that the attack from the north could only take Shence Gate as the main direction of attack.

And Yang Feng's response ......

Well, he's entertaining on the walls again.

It's just that this time it's not to listen to the play, but to listen to the two Qin Huai famous ji sing to him, recently Xianzun is a little obsessed with Qin Huai famous ji, although because of the terrifying donkey hooves he has no interest in using rain and dew to grace these famous ji, but listening to them sing is still very pleasant.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......"

Not losing the slightest Aunt Wang's heavenly voice swirled on the tower of the Shence Gate, the soldiers on both sides held halberds and stood solemnly accompanied by the smell of ambergris Yang Xianzun was drowsy, Xiantong knelt at his feet, gently beat his legs, and there was a faint sound of artillery behind him, which was the cannon sound of the Qing army attacking Zhengyangmen more than ten miles away, and of course there was also the cannon sound of the defenders in the city returning fire.

Because at the same time as engaging in national bonds, he also got out paper money by the way, and in the name of Xianzun under the banner of defending Nanjing, he exchanged a large number of copper coins among the people, so during this time, hundreds of copper cannons and pig iron cannons were cast in one go, plus hundreds of flintlock guns made by assault, tens of thousands of captured bird guns, more than 50 cannons, more than 10,000 green battalions surrendered, 100,000 volunteers organized in the city, especially the newly formed second brigade, at this time Nanjing's city defense can be said to be quite strong, if you don't count the 20,000 well-equipped eight banners stationed in Beijing in Fukangan, just the Hangzhou Eight Banners and those patchwork green battalions, at this time the defense force of Nanjing was enough to deal with it, as for the army of Fukangan......

"Where?"

Immortal Venerable with his eyes closed asked.

"Back to Immortal Venerable, it's the place last time again!"

Yang An said respectfully.

At this time, no one was afraid of him, nor those defenders, because they all knew that it was impossible for the Qing Demon to break through Nanjing with Immortal Venerable here.

"Then let them go and be with those Qing demons last time!"

Xianzun said and stood up.

Needless to say, everyone on the city wall immediately knelt down in unison, and one by one reverently bowed their heads to the ground and waited for Xianzun's big move, and Xianzun lived up to expectations, and then put on his classic pose......

"Which brother is free, come and help!"

Immortal Venerable shouted at the sky.

Suddenly, a meteor fell, and instantly reached the top of the Eight Banners army that had just arrived at the place of destruction of the king's authority, and the next moment above the front of the Eight Banners army, a yellow and green rapids poured down like a waterfall out of thin air, turning into a yellow-green fog while hitting the ground and spreading around. Driven by the west wind in autumn, this dense fog continued to move forward against the marching Eight Banners army, constantly swallowing up this army that had placed all the hopes of Qianlong, and the waterfall behind it was still falling and then constantly turning into more yellow-green dense fog, swallowing more Eight Banners army piece by piece. And in the thick fog, no Eight Banners Army came out, only a death-like silence, as if the huge army that came in a steady stream disappeared out of thin air, because the distance was too far, and the situation behind could not be seen on the Shence Gate, only the yellow-green fog engulfed the entire mountain......

"Look!"

Suddenly, on the city wall on the west bank of Xuanwu Lake, there were screams of horror from the guarded guards.

Yang An didn't care about the Immortal Venerable, and the soldiers on the city wall hurriedly ran over there, just ran out of the red mountain that could avoid the red mountain that blocked the view, and Yang An, who was holding the binoculars, knelt directly on the city wall with a weak leg.

Because he saw the most horrific sight he had ever seen in his life.

On the other side of Xuanwu Lake, in a freshly harvested farmland between Red Mountain and Purple Mountain, countless Eight Banner soldiers rushed out of the yellow-green fog behind them like crazy, as if there were countless monsters behind, but they also continued to fall down piece by piece in their wild run, kneeling down in the empty rice field with their heads down and coughing desperately, coughing until they collapsed on the ground and convulsed towards death, relying on the clairvoyant mirror given by the Immortal Venerable, he could even see the painful expressions on the faces of these people. Thousands of Eight Banners soldiers poured out of the thick fog behind them that was moving eastward, and then fell in a frenzy and marched to death in the same posture and in the same way, their convulsive corpses densely laid in the harvested rice fields, but there was no wound to be seen from their bodies, except for their painful and distorted faces.

"Fu Yin, what do you see?"

A cronie asked cautiously from the side.

"Miasma."

Yang An took a deep breath and said. [.]
