Chapter 782: Blitzkrieg (12)
When it was dark, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jinhong all came to the outside of the Kuizhou capital.
Liu Zeqing, Li Yan and Su Congjin and others were a little worried, although they didn't want to take prisoners, but they couldn't blatantly kill those rogues who had knelt on the ground and did not resist, when the battle was over, they counted the prisoners, the number was close to 10,000, so many prisoners, how stable, it was indeed a headache.
In a whole day, the Zheng family army experienced three battles, the total number of rogues killed and captured reached 50,000, and Zhang Xianzhong's strength was defeated by one-third, and the casualties of the Zheng family army were negligible, such a major victory made everyone feel incredible.
Zheng Xunrui's expression is still calm, there are many prisoners, it is said that everyone has to worry, but Zheng Xunrui no longer has those ideas, these captured captives have become walking corpses, and they have completely lost the ability to resist, even if you give them weapons, they will not participate in the fight, when Zheng Jinhong reported the effect of the dock bombing, Zheng Xunrui already understood, why these prisoners lost the ability to resist, if it is said that in the early morning battle, the more than 3,000 prisoners captured are still ready to move, Then these captives who were captured later have completely destroyed the determination of all the rogues to resist.
Fighting is not afraid of defeat, but of a complete loss of confidence.
A whole day passed, the rogues in the city of Kuizhou did not move at all, watching the killing outside the city, and the rogues in the west did not rush to help, did not move in place, neither evacuated, nor moved in the direction of the city of Kuizhou, which has made Zheng Xunrui make a sufficiently accurate judgment, that is, Zhang Xianzhong was trapped in the city of Kuizhou, and the rogues in the west did not get Zhang Xianzhong's order, and did not dare to evacuate or rush to help. As for why such an interesting situation occurred, Zheng Xunrui didn't want to analyze it, what he was thinking about now was how to completely defeat Zhang Xianzhong in the next day's battle.
Su Manzi is commanding the artillery battalion and laying all the artillery. In the attack that began the next day, these artillery pieces would become the main force, and the final charge would not begin until the rogues in the city were blown up and lost their ability to resist.
As for talking about the rogue in the west, arranging 10,000 soldiers is enough to resist, and as long as Zhang Xianzhong is captured or killed, these people will completely lose their resistance and become vulnerable. Of course, Zheng Xunrui will never let go of these people, if these people are allowed to scatter and flee, there will be a number of rogues next, and the Zheng family army will be needed to conquer in the end.
The deployment of the operation has been implemented a long time ago, and Zheng Xunrui doesn't need to say much, but Xu Wanghua, Zhou Yanru and others sent urgent information from Nanjing, which attracted Zheng Xunrui's attention, and these information were sent at noon. So much so that Zheng Xunrui didn't care about the battle outside the Kuizhou capital for the time being.
Su Manzi's face turned red and he entered the Chinese military tent.
Zheng Jinhong, Liu Zeqing, Hong Xinyu, Su Manzi, Su Congjin, Wang Xiaoer and others all arrived.
Next to Zheng Xunrui stood Li Yan.
Look at the crowd. Zheng Xunrui spoke slowly.
"The battle to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates is carried out according to our pre-plan, and there are still ten days at most, and we will definitely be able to completely eliminate Zhang Xianzhong and his subordinates, but you should not be too happy, there is two news. It's bad for us. ”
Everyone's eyes widened, they didn't know what kind of bad news there was.
"The first thing is that Li Zicheng has captured the city of Taiyuan, and just five days ago, the governor of Shanxi, Lord Wei Chengrun, was killed. Zhu Qiugui, the king of Jin, was killed, and many princes in Henan and Shanxi, because of fear, almost all fled to Xi'an, Shaanxi. ”
"The second thing, Houjin's Rao Yu Belle Abatai, led by 100,000 Houjin Tartars, after entering the customs from Datong, directly killed Beizhili, they have captured Bazhou, Hejian, Yongqing and other places, and plundered in Beizhili, Shandong's Yang He and Wang Yuncheng reported, saying that Houjin Tartars are likely to enter Shandong to plunder."
"You may have heard these two things and felt that there was no big deal, Li Zicheng plundered in Henan and Shanxi, and did not affect Nanzhili and Zhejiang in the slightest, and Abatai plundered in Beizhili, which also did not have much impact on the Zheng family's army, it should be said that your understanding is good, unless Abatai is dizzy and is ready to attack Shandong, it will cause us certain losses."
Speaking of this, Zheng Xunrui's words changed.
"You are all following me for a long time, you should remember that we went to Beizhili to resist the Houjin Tartars, in Wen'an County, Gu'an County, Bazhou, Wuqing County and Baodi County to see the situation, the Houjin Tartars are inhumane, and it is always the common people who suffer heavy losses, and then we fought against the Houjin Tartars in Baoding Mansion and Hejian Mansion, and also saw their brutality, this time the places where Abatai plundered are still the same, the people in these places have not recovered at all, and once again suffered the brutality of the Houjin Tartars, What else is there for them to live. ”
"Every time I fight and conquer, it is the common people who suffer in the end, I think what is the glory of my Ming Dynasty, the failure of the Battle of Songshan has made the imperial court completely lose the ability to resist the Houjin Tartars, this time Abatai entered the North Zhili, such as entering the realm of no one, the first assistant of the cabinet Qian Shisheng led the army to resist, and did not dare to fight face-to-face with the Houjin Tartars, the people have completely lost hope, they know that the imperial court can not protect them."
"I am very sad to think of such a situation, most of the scholars and merchants in the north have moved to Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and the slightly richer rich families have also tried their best to enter Shaanxi, and those who stay in Beizhili, Shanxi, Huguang and Henan are all desperate poor people, and the heavy consequences of the battle are completely borne by them."
"Fighting and killing always kills people, it's not a big deal, I have also heard some sayings, that is, the world is a big deal to build again, the Zheng family army has the strength to completely exterminate the Liukou, completely defeat the Houjin Tartars, and the Zheng family army must reach Shenyang, fight to Tieling, Andong, Siping and Huaide and other places, end up the nest of the Houjin Tartars, restore the glory of my Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty of the year, was also rebuilt under the devastated situation."
"This is true, but don't forget, the difficulties faced by self-made people are huge, and we must try to keep what we can keep." ……
Li Yan looked at Zheng Xunrui and felt a little strange, in fact, these things were discussed in Nanjing before the army set out, and Zhou Yanru had raised these possibilities at that time, that is, the chaos in the Central Plains and the north could not be cleaned up, and the key forces of the Zheng family army were in the south and Shandong, and the north stabilized Shaanxi, which was equivalent to having a stronghold, and when the Zheng family army relied on Shaanxi, it would be no problem to attack Shanxi, Henan, North Zhili and even Liaodong and other places.
Zheng Xunrui also affirmed this judgment, believing that Zheng Jiajun's main task at present is to stabilize the south.
It is precisely because of this analysis that Zheng Xunrui decided to completely exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, because Zhang Xianzhong's power has infiltrated Sichuan, and if he is ignored, he will definitely become a big problem for Zheng Jiajun's henchmen.
Now that Xu Wanghua and Zhou Yanru's information has come, it is nothing more than that the north has begun to be in chaos, and it is not far from becoming a pot of porridge, since such a situation is expected, there is no need to worry about it.
However, Li Yan also vaguely understood that Zheng Xunrui had contradictions in his heart, on the one hand, he wanted to control the world and let the people live a prosperous life, in order to achieve this goal, he did not hesitate to use many means, on the other hand, Zheng Xunrui was indeed worried about the people of the world, and when he saw the people suffering, his heart would be uncomfortable, even painful.
Perhaps the unprecedented emperors will have such a compassionate heart, but they usually don't show it.
The Chinese army tent fell into silence, Zheng Xunrui's words, so that everyone had nothing to say, think about it, the situation in the north is miserable, the people can't live, and the Zheng family army has no good way, it can't let the second army stationed in Shaanxi launch a large-scale offensive, and at this time, even if it is an offensive, it may not be able to achieve good results, after all, the strength of Li Zicheng and Abatai is not bad.
The silence lasted only a few minutes before Zheng Xunrui spoke again.
"Okay, what I mean by saying this is to ask you to look more far-reaching, don't think that we have won a lot of victories, we can decide everything, Zheng Jiajun is still facing too many battles, and there are countless combat missions, we need to learn from experience in every battle and fight to lay the foundation for greater victories in the future."
As soon as Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Zheng Jinhong immediately spoke.
"Young master, my subordinates promise that within tomorrow, I will take the capital city of Kuizhou and defeat Zhang Xianzhong."
What is strange is that Zheng Xunrui looked at Zheng Jinhong and actually shook his head.
"Zheng Zongbing, don't worry, tomorrow we don't want to attack Kuizhou Mansion for the time being, tomorrow our focus is still on the 70,000 rogues in the west, I think they will definitely rush to the aid tomorrow, the number of these 70,000 people is not small, once we defeat these 70,000 people, then the rogue in the city will completely lose hope, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong or Liu Wenxiu, they are all prisoners of our ranks, of course, if the rogue in the city comes out to fight tomorrow, you are not polite."
Zheng Jinhong nodded again and again, but Li Yan and the others gasped, the appetite of the handsome man was too big, and the purpose was to exterminate all the 150,000 rogues, if the rogues in the city took advantage of the troubled waters to fish, then the Zheng family army would not be polite.
It seems that after this battle, Huguang and Sichuan and other places will be completely stabilized. (To be continued.) )
