Anti-Qing: Starting from the Reincarnation of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 225
At this moment, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and a soldier walked in, came to Zhu Jing'an and said.

"Your Highness, there is news from Nanjing City!"

"Zuo Guoliang and the others are planning to launch an uprising after dawn tomorrow. Anyway, I hope the Ming Dynasty can provide support."

When Zhu Jing'an heard this, a smile first broke out on his face, and then he looked thoughtful and asked.

"Launch an uprising and dedicate the city? Which city gate?"

The outer city of Nanjing is more than 100 miles long, and the inner city and outer city combined have dozens of gates. Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wants to send troops to respond, it must first figure out which gate Zuo Guoliang and others plan to dedicate to the city. OK.

The soldier heard this and spoke.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, Zuo Guoliang and others are preparing to revolt at Fengtai Gate, welcome my royal army into the outer city of Nanjing, and then cooperate with my army to advance in, seize the Jubao Gate, and enter the inner city of Nanjing."

Fengtai Gate is the gate of the outer city, while Jubao Gate is the gate of the inner city. The distance from Fengtai Gate to Jubao Gate is the shortest distance from the outer city of Nanjing to the inner city in the west direction of the city.

Therefore, Zuo Guoliang and others decided to launch an uprising at Fengtai Gate!
The Ming army could also use the fastest speed to control the city defenses of Nanjing's inner and outer cities by entering the Jubao Gate from Fengtai Gate.

Also, as long as the Ming army can control the defenses of the inner and outer cities, the Qing army's troops deployed outside the city will become rootless duckweeds.

Destruction can only occur with Ming's backhand!

The situation in Jiangning's battle can be considered to be decided!
Zhu Jing'an thought for a while and then spoke.

"Go down with the order and summon the generals for discussion!"

……

Its daybreak!
The waning moon was half-hanging in the sky, and a red sun had already jumped above the horizon.

At this dawn, the sky and the earth show the beautiful scenery of the sun and the moon.

But unlike the beautiful scenery in the sky, there is a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood on the ground.

Jiangning General Chongchun stood under the banner, feeling the oncoming sunshine, and he exhaled heavily.

Then, I shuddered involuntarily!
Now Chongchun's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, his face was quite tired, his face was shiny, and he looked very depressed.

"General, it's dawn now. The thieves probably won't attack at night. You've already stayed up all night. Go get some rest!"

"Otherwise my body won't be able to bear it!"

Beside Chongchun, a capable man spoke.

When he said this, his face was full of anxiety and concern.

Chongchun knew that Ming thieves were good at night fighting.

Therefore, in order to prevent the Ming army from attacking Fangshan at night, Chongchun stayed up all night.

Hearing this, Chongchun just shook his head and said.

"This general can't sleep, and I can't sleep!"

"It is true that the Ming thief did not launch a night attack on Fangshan last night, but now that it is dawn, the Ming thief will launch another attack on Fangshan soon."

"This general must personally take command of the Chinese army!"

"Everyone can rest, but I, the general, can't!"

Chongchun is really sleepy now, but his reason tells him that now is definitely not the time to rest.

Hearing this, Goshiha next to Chongchun didn't feel like saying anything more, so he just fell silent.

However, what Ling Chongchun didn't expect was that he stood on Fangshan Mountain from the time the sun rose in the morning, until three o'clock in the morning, and then until noon, but the Ming army remained stationary and did not launch an attack on Fangshan Mountain.

Chongchun sat on a chair in the Chinese army's tent, but the expression on his face was not relaxed, but more solemn.

"What exactly are the Ming thieves planning to do? Why have they suspended the offensive on Fangshan? This general is really confused."

Chongchun stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes and asked.

In front of him, the generals of the Jiangning Eight Banners also had solemn expressions, most of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

What Chongchun didn't know, they, who were also surrounded on Fangshan Mountain, had no place to know.

The current battle situation in Nanjing is too passive for the Qing army!

For example, the Qing troops in Niushoushan and Fangshan were cut off from the outside world by the Ming army.

Completely losing awareness of the battlefield situation!
After sighing for a moment, Chongchun cheered up, raised his head and said.

"The matter has come to this, it's useless for me to think about all the things I have and don't have."

"The most important thing is to do the current things well and ensure that Fangshan camp is worry-free."

When the generals heard this, they all clasped their fists and chatted.

"Serve the Qing Dynasty, even if you die!"

"Serve the Qing Dynasty, even if you die!"

"..."

Obviously, the generals on Fangshan are now ready to sacrifice their lives to serve the Qing Dynasty.

It was also under the inspiration of these banner generals that the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army on Fangshan fought for their lives, turning the Fangshan battle that the Ming army was about to win into a tug-of-war.

However, at this moment, a messenger ran in from outside the big tent.

The messenger opened the curtain, strode closer, knelt down in front of Chongchun with a bang, pointed in the direction of Nanjing City with a look of horror, and spoke.

"General, something bad has happened!"

"Zuo Guoliang, the deputy general of the Jiangning City Defense Battalion, rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered the Fengtai Gate to the Ming thieves. Now the Ming thieves have passed through the Fengtai Gate, entered the outer city of Nanjing, and are heading towards the Jubao Gate!"

"Jiang Ning is in a hurry! Jiang Ning is in a hurry!"

After saying this, the messenger began to kowtow loudly.

When Chongchun heard this, he slumped down in his seat, his face turning green and white.It was obvious that Chongchun had realized what was going on.

He explained that it would be fine if the thieves did not attack Fangshan at night. Why didn't they attack Fangshan even when it was already dawn?
That's it!

Did the co-author Ming thief go directly to Jiangning City? !

When the generals heard this, they also fell into panic.

Many people are aware of the seriousness of the matter.

Once Jiangning City is captured by Ming thieves, Fangshan will become a rootless duckweed and will soon be destroyed.

In this case, the problem is huge!

Suddenly, a commander of the Eight Banners Soldiers spoke with a serious face.

"General, we must take back Fengtai Gate!"

"If Fengtai Gate continues to be controlled by the Ming thieves, and the Ming thieves can continue to invest troops in Jiangning City, it will be a matter of time before Jiangning City falls."

"Only by recapturing Fengtai Gate can the battle in Jiangning turn around!"

Hearing this, Chongchun's face became uncertain for a while, and the veins on his forehead kept beating, as if he was making a very difficult decision.

After a moment, Chongchun gritted his teeth and said.

"Send the order and the whole army will attack. We will break camp and go down the mountain to reinforce Jiangning City and recapture Fengtai Gate!"

When everyone heard the words, they all shouted in response.
At the same time, the Chatai Division on Niushou Mountain also made the decision to reinforce the war in Jiangning City.

The Qing troops on Niu Shou Mountain and Fang Mountain worked together to attack Fengtai Gate in Jiangning City in a tacit understanding, hoping to recapture Fengtai Gate.

However, how can the Ming army make the Qing army happy?
Now that they know that the Qing army may want to reinforce Fengtaimen, the Ming army must have made corresponding arrangements.

The Qing army had just come down the mountain when they encountered the Ming army cavalry who had ambushed them in advance.

On the battlefield, cavalry roared.

The cavalry from both sides passed each other and started fighting.

Bow strings trembled and horse hoofs rumbled. On the battlefield, Ming cavalry wearing red armor passed by Qing cavalry wearing various colors of cotton armor.

At this moment of passing each other, arrows were shooting back and forth.

But it is very obvious that the cavalry of the Qing army is far from the opponent of the cavalry of the Ming army.

Far more Qing cavalry fell from their horses than Ming cavalry fell from their horses.

The cavalry of the Ming army were either Sauron soldiers who surrendered anyway, or elite cavalry from the Gansu and Shaanxi green camps.

Their riding and shooting skills are all above par!

It’s not an exaggeration to call him a fine rider!
However, the cavalry of the Qing army was composed of Gaoliang children from the Eight Banners of Jiangning.

Although everyone in the Eight Banners of Jiangning has a horse, at most only half of them can ride a horse.

Among this half, more than half can only walk a horse, but not gallop.

Not to mention riding and shooting!
You may not be able to pick one out of a hundred who can do it.

Facing the Ming cavalry charging fiercely, all the Qing cavalry could do was to dismount and form an infantry formation to resist.

Otherwise, their loss will only become more ugly!
However, not long after the Qing army formed their infantry formation, they saw bursts of smoke and dust outside the battlefield, and the Ming army pushed field artillery to the front line of the battlefield.

The muzzle of the gun was aimed at the Qing army's array, preparing to repeat the same trick and use artillery to deal with the Qing army's infantry array.

Soon, bursts of shelling sounded on the battlefield.

Along with it, there were hoarse screams and desperate cries from the Qing soldiers.

"Retreat! Retreat to Fangshan!"

"Get out!"

Chongchun looked at the battlefield, which was almost a scene of unilateral massacre, and his heart was filled with despair.

With no other choice, he could only give up the reinforcement of Jiangning City and ordered the Qing army to retreat to Fangshan to protect themselves.

However, since the Qing army abandoned its strong camp and prepared to fight the Ming army in the field, how could the Ming army easily let the Qing army retreat?
There was a sound of horse hooves, and just as the Qing army was preparing to retreat, the Ming army's cavalry roared and chased them.

After a round of cavalry shooting and charging into the formation, the Qing troops who were retreating did not dare to move at all and could only desperately maintain their formation.

However, the Qing army stopped moving, but the Ming army's offensive would not stop.

Artillery pieces were pushed up one after another and continued to target the Qing army's array.

The Qing army was bombarded by artillery for several rounds. It could not bear the casualties and prepared to retreat. As a result, the Ming army's cavalry rushed up again, with another burst of cavalry shooting and charging into the formation, forcing the Qing army to continue to maintain the array.

Boom!Boom!
The shells penetrated the array, and the projectiles tore apart human bodies wantonly, releasing the kinetic energy contained within them.

After a long time, the Qing army finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.

The array immediately dispersed.

Countless people were abandoning their helmets and armour, scrambling to run.

"Run! Help!"

"Damn thief!"

"Mom, don't kill me..."

These Eight Banners soldiers of Jiangning Eight Banners have long forgotten about fighting the Ming thieves and serving the Qing Dynasty.

Now the only thing left in their minds is running for their lives!
However, how could the Ming army's cavalry just sit back and watch them escape back to Fangshan Mountain?
