Zhao Ming's original plan was not to alarm the Qing army in Nanjing, first outflank and cut off the retreat of the Qing army, and annihilate the two large camps in the south and north of the Yangtze River, and nearly 300,000 Qing troops in the south of the Huai River.In this way, the Manchus had no soldiers, and the Ming army could immediately go on a northern expedition to solve the Manchus in a year or even less, and completely recover the Hanjia rivers and mountains.However, Zhu Yihai raised troops in advance and pounced on Nanjing, and Azig took the initiative to move to Huaibei, which made Zhao Ming mistakenly believe that the Qing army retreated in advance because Zhu Yihai pounced on Nanjing.In order to prevent Azig from running away and block the way for the 300,000 Qing troops to retreat north, Zhao Ming ventured into the army and pounced on Gaoyou overnight, preparing to intercept the Qing army, but he didn't want to fall into the ambush of the Qing army.At this time, Zhao Ming led the remnants of the army and fled into Shibao Town, the 30,000 army was less than 10,000, and a large number of henchmen such as Li Zhongming, Ding Weiyue, Luo Wenyao, and Liu Si were killed or separated, and the losses were extremely heavy.Zhao Ming sat on the bench and listened to the statements of Wang Deshun, Li Benshen and others, and felt extremely sad and self-reproachful.He had already sensed that the situation was not normal, but when he heard that Azig had fled from Yangzhou, he wanted to solve the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a war and settle the situation against the Qing Dynasty, so he took the risk of advancing and finally suffered this defeat.In this battle, not only lost more than 20,000 people, but also lost the lives of many old brothers, and with the defeat of Donghai Town, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was already on the verge of extinction, eased up again, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to recover the northern convenience in the distant future.Originally, this time, the three roads of the Nanming Dynasty gathered four or five hundred thousand troops, and there was a chance to take away the Manchus in one wave, but now, the Qing army defeated Zhao Ming and trapped Zhao Ming in Shibao Town, Donghai Town was hit hard, and the Qing army could easily stabilize its position.The generals of the Ming army, seeing Zhao Ming's expression, were all sad and indignant.Wang Deshun's face turned red for a while, he suddenly threw away the war knife supporting his body, suddenly knelt on the ground, clenched his fists with both hands, lowered his head, and wept bitterly: "Big handsome, it's all the fault of the lowly position." ”Seeing this, Zhao Ming put away his sad emotions and hurriedly supported him, but Wang Deshun was reluctant to get up, Zhao Ming said emotionally: "Deshun, what are you doing here?"
”"The marshal made the lowly position the striker, and the lowly position failed to detect the ambush of the clear dog, and let the brothers create an ambush, which is the fault of the lowly position."
Wang Deshun said sadly.In this battle, Zhao Ming was eager to win, eager to cut off Azig's retreat, and was afraid that if he was one step late, the Qing army would run away, so he took the risk of rushing forward."
I don't blame you for this defeat, it's a command mistake by the commander."
Zhao Ming stood up, looked around at the surrounding generals, and said bitterly: "Since Ben Shuai raised his troops to resist the Qing Dynasty, he fought dozens of battles with the Qing army, and the Qing army's most capable Duoduo and Hong Chengchou were all defeated by Ben Shuai.This is the responsibility of Ben Shuai, and it has nothing to do with you.Wang Deshun, you give me up, it is the heroic soul who died in Donghai Town, and the old brothers who died in battle!
”Zhao Ming helped Wang Deshun up, but Wang Deshun didn't think it was Zhao Ming's responsibility, he was emotional, his eyes were red, and he roared sadly and angrily, "Dashuai, there is no problem with our plan."
It was the prince's side that moved ahead of time and disrupted our rhythm, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court should contain Azig from the west, but Azig mobilized more than 100,000 people to besiege us.We were betrayed by our own people. ”The three-way Ming army flanked Azig, and it was too late for Azig to escape, but he mobilized more than 100,000 people and fought an ambush in Donghai Town.This made Zhao Ming and the surviving generals realize that the plan of attacking the main force of the Qing army on three ways may have gone wrong.Zhao Ming's face was gloomy when he heard this, when he was in ambush, he saw the Qing army rushing out of the mountains and fields, and he realized that not only Zhu Yihai raised troops in advance, but I was afraid that there was also a mistake on the side of Longwu Chaoting.Now he still doesn't know what happened, whether the Ming army on the Western Road didn't come, or was slow, or was blocked.Zhao Ming waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, Ben Shuai believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Cabinet Department of Plug Yinxi are blocked, and we still need them to rescue." ”As he was talking, on the fort wall of Shibao Town, the soldiers who were forcibly enduring their fatigue and arming the defense were in a commotion.At this time, Li Benshen hurriedly ran over and said to Zhao Ming: "Dashuai, you go to the castle to take a look!"
”Zhao Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked, "What's the situation?"
”Li Benshen lowered his head and did not answer, Zhao Ming threw the helmet to his subordinates when he saw this, and his face was gloomy, "Go to the castle with Ben Shuai!"
”When the next group of people came to the fortress wall, outside the fortress wall, under a big banner, Azig wearing white armor was surrounded by nearly a thousand cavalry, looking at Shibao Town proudly.Before Azig and the others, a general wearing the armor of the commander of Donghai Town walked to the fortress in a disorganized manner and stopped dozens of steps away from the fortress gate."
It's Huang Ting!"
Wang Deshun exclaimed.Huang Ting was not an old brother in Donghai Town, he was originally a member of the Zheng army in Fujian, and after Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.Zhao Ming attacked Fujian, defeated Duoduo in Lianjiang, and after Huang Ting was captured by Zhao Ming, he joined Donghai Town, and gradually achieved the command of a battalion in several expansions of Donghai Town.In last night's battle, he and Wang Deshun and Gao Yuanzhao first passed through the ambush area of the Qing army, and after seeing Zhao Ming surrounded, he followed Wang Deshun to rush back and rescue Zhao Ming, but after Zhao Ming broke through, in the process of being chased by the Qing army, his battalion ran in the wrong direction and was surrounded by the Qing army on a hill.After dawn, Huang Tingsaw that there was no possibility of breaking through the siege, and Zhao Ming fled north and went deeper into the area controlled by the Qing army, he estimated the fate of Zhao Ming who also fled south and was defeated, so he immediately killed the commander who was unwilling to surrender and a thousand households, and surrendered Azig.Zhao Ming saw Huang Ting, and asked with a gloomy face: "Hua Ming, what about you vote for Qing?"
”Huang Ting saw Zhao Ming in the city, as well as many comrades, with a look of shame on his face, but he immediately raised his head and said sadly: "Dashuai, you also surrender!"
Prince Ying said, as long as you are willing to surrender, the Qing Dynasty will immediately give the marshal the title of king!
”Zhao Ming slapped on the wall, his face full of anger, "Huang Ting, Ben Shuai is thinking about the past, if you don't shoot you, you immediately give Ben Shuai a chance to go back, and tell Azig that Ben Shuai is guarding this fortress, and he will take it if he has an order." ”Huang Ting stood still, and suddenly roared with grief and indignation: "Dashuai, brothers, wake up!"
I'm really not worth it for our Donghai Town!
Dashuai, no one wants to destroy the Qing army, just our Donghai Town, not afraid of sacrifice in the southern and northern wars, want to recover the lost territory, I am not worth it for Dashuai, and it is not worth it for the dead brothers!
The army of Huguang and the army of Zhejiang have all gone to fight for Nanjing, and no one will come to the rescue of the brothers.Dashuai, think about it for the brothers!
”Zhao Ming listened to Huang Ting's words, his body trembled slightly, and his heart was extremely angry, "Thief, dare to mess with our army's heart and shoot it indiscriminately!"
