    Release (Back! ^_^)

    Released The thunder of artillery, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of killing soldiers and the screams!  Countless sounds formed a heroic war symphony, and the notes were composed of living lives, and blood and fire were the timbre of this music.

    Posted I watched hundreds of artillery fire at Wuchang City. More than ten artillery pieces were damaged due to long-term shooting. Opposite of them were the collapsed Wuchang city walls and the Qing troops and people fleeing in all directions.  I didn't expect that it would be so easy to defeat Wuchang City. Even before the army charged, Wuchang became a city without walls. What were the Qing troops waiting for if they didn't run away?

    Posted by Zhang Nai looked at the ruined Wuchang City and said, "Your Majesty, if we attack the city like this in every battle, the losses will be too great." Zhang Nai had seen the ruins of Wuchang when he retreated from Wuchang, and the ruins now  The level is even greater than before!

    Posted "My dear, my goal is to recover lost land, or to compete for land. As for post-war reconstruction, let others do it! Even I can't count the people waiting to intervene in post-war reconstruction." Although war is destructive  , but construction still has to be done after the destruction. Post-war reconstruction is what those businessmen are happy to see. My plan is to recover Jingxiang as soon as possible and cooperate with the march plan of the East Route Army and the Middle Route Army. If we cannot join forces in Hebei, then the Northern Expedition will  There are loopholes, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty will not give me the opportunity to make mistakes and correct them.

    The day after the capture of Wuchang was announced, I instructed the governor of Huguang, Maojiang, to take over the resettlement work of the regained land and organize the people to do preliminary post-war reconstruction. The homeless people would be provided with work relief by the government. I hope this can help  to quickly restore the original appearance of the war-torn city.

    The Northern Expeditionary Army of the West Route quickly recaptured the cities around Wuchang and set its next target in Jingzhou. If Jingzhou is not recaptured, it will always be a hidden danger threatening the Yangtze River. With Huang Shiren as the vanguard, the army entered the territory of Jingzhou. Qian Su was happy  When he was the governor of Huguang, he trained a navy of more than 3,000 people, and was also recruited by Emperor Hongguang to participate in the battle against Jingzhou.

    Released When the main force of the Ming army arrived outside Jingzhou City, the Qing army was fully prepared for defense.  I looked at Jingzhou, which was slightly stronger than Wuchang, and said, "It seems that the Tatars are not stupid either. Look, the Tatars have greatly widened the width of the moat, making it more difficult for artillery attacks. I wonder who the Tatar general is.  He¡¯s quite smart.¡±

    Posted by Huang Shiren looked at the Jingzhou moat, which was three times wider than the ordinary moat, and he laughed, "Your Majesty, this Tatar general is also a bastard. Fortunately, it is not the rainy season. If it were two months later, as long as the water is diverted here,  The water flooded Jingzhou City, and no one could escape."

    Posted I think what Huang Shiren said is right, but the army can't wait here for rain and rising water!  "Pass on my order, have a good meal at noon, rest for an hour after the meal, and then attack the city." I used to wonder whether the ancient generals knew that it was not advisable to do strenuous exercise within two hours after a meal. Anyway, I didn't want to hurt the soldiers.  The body is exhausted, and fighting just after eating is a bit inhumane.

    Posted Jingzhou is much more difficult to fight than I expected. The Qing army seems to have stationed more troops here than in Wuchang, and I don¡¯t know who the Qing army¡¯s leader is. The bombardment failed to achieve any results after a day, which made all the soldiers angry.

    Published There is a topographic map near Jingzhou on the table. Huang Degong and others are discussing how to capture Jingzhou. We must not really flood Jingzhou City. In that case, Jingzhou will really become a dead city.

    Published Huang Degong sighed, "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to rush to capture Jingzhou. The army can first capture the cities near Jingzhou, isolate Jingzhou, and put pressure on the Tatars first. Anyway, we have to attack other places."

    There is a saying that goes well. People who are good at dealing with problems will never be as good as people who are good at avoiding them. Huang Degong obviously belongs to the latter. He pointed to several important towns near Jingzhou and said, "Let's combine these towns  After conquering Jingzhou, there will be no response and the momentum will be weak. If possible, we will attack Yichang directly. Dangyang will ignore Jingzhou. Then we will go north to attack Xiangyang. In this way, Jingzhou will be an isolated city, whether it is broken or not.  None of it matters."

    Posted "Ai Qing is right. I plan to let Zhang Nai lead 8,000 troops and the 3,000 navy to besiege Jingzhou. The army will march to the important towns around Jingzhou, then push directly to Yichang, and finally go north to Xiangyang, and wait for these places to be defeated.  Jingxiang is ours." I agreed with Huang Degong's idea, "That's it, Zhang Nai will stay tomorrow, and the main force will sweep through the important towns near Jingzhou first."

    It was announced that the West Route Army took ten days to capture several strategically located towns near Jingzhou, and then the army moved up the river to Yichang. At this time, Zhu Youlang's Middle Route Army was fighting fiercely with Ying Erdai; Yan Yingyuan was also there  I'm shaving the heads of the Eight Banners elites going south!

    PublishI did not expect that the main force of the personal expedition would be ambushed, or a "roadside bomb" type.  On the way to Yichang, when the army arrived at Crow Ridge, explosions occurred frequently, and a Qing army emerged from the mountains and forests, catching the unsuspecting Ming army by surprise.  Careless, I had already inspected the terrain when I marched into Crow Ridge, because the terrain in Crow Ridge is very complex and very suitable for an ambush. For fear of an ambush by the Qing army, I checked several times but no trace of the Qing army was found.  We have just entered Crowque Ridge. As for where this Qing army came from, only God knows.

    I found that the target of this Qing army was obviously me and other generals, and the number was only about a thousand. Could it be that the Manchu Qing had also formed a death squad? I looked back at Huang Degong, "Right away!" I haven't finished my words yet.  When I said that, I found that Huang Degong had been hit by an arrow in his shoulder and another in his body. Then I heard an explosion very close to me, and my horse was overturned and fell to the ground.

    Posted I looked at the horse covered in blood and couldn't care less. I jumped onto Huang Degong's horse, and then there was another explosion. The war horse was frightened and carried me and Huang Degong into the forest. I felt that the horse was running very fast, so I had to  He hugged Huang Degong tightly, hugged the horse's neck tightly, and let the horse walk through the woods.

    Published I don¡¯t know how long the war horse ran or how far it ran. Anyway, the silence around it was a bit terrifying, and the war horse¡¯s mood also calmed down. With a flick of its front hooves, the horse and the two fell to the ground.

    Posted I was not injured, but I was very frightened. Looking at Huang Degong who was injured, I slapped him awake hard, "Love you! Love you!"

    Huang Degong woke up with an ouch, looked at Emperor Hongguang and looked around, "Your Majesty, are we not dead?" Huang Degong was also hit by an arrow in his ribs, and he fainted from the pain at that time, thinking that he would definitely die, but now  The situation is not like being in the underworld.

    Posted "My dear, don't move! Let me bandage your wound." When I cut open Huang Degong's shirt with a dagger and looked at Huang Degong's blackened wound, I immediately understood that those people must be the "special forces" of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  The arrows are all poisonous!  He must have wanted to kill the generals of the Ming army in one fell swoop and reverse the defeat.  However, it seems that the poison is not as toxic as the poisonous arrows refined by Li Chen and others, otherwise Huang Degong would have died long ago.

    Huang Degong also found that the wounds on his body were different, and the pain was not as painful as when he was hit by an arrow. He knew that he had been hit by a poisonous arrow. The true nature of a soldier made him grit his teeth and reach out to pull out the two poisonous arrows.  There¡¯s even a piece of meat on it!  But the meat is already dark.

    Posted I was preparing to treat him, but I didn¡¯t expect Huang Degong to pull out the poisonous arrow like this. Looking at Huang Degong¡¯s wound with black blood flowing, I hesitated for a moment and finally bent my head to suck the poisonous blood for him, although it didn¡¯t look very poisonous.  It's big, but if it's delayed for a long time, the poison gas attacks the heart and it's just as hopeless.

    Huang Degong was stunned for a moment at first. He never expected that Emperor Hongguang would suck the poisonous blood for him. His heart was filled with sorrow and pain, and he was moved to tears, "Your Majestythe arrows are poisonousYour Majesty, the dragon body is precious  ¡­!¡±

    I used a dagger to make a slit in the blackened flesh of Huang Degong's body, "Don't talk, my love." After saying that, I lowered my head and started sucking again. When I finished treating the two arrow wounds on Huang Degong's body, "Take drugs."  The side effects of the drug also appeared. My tongue and lips began to tingle. When I reached out and touched it, I could tell that I had become Tony Leung Chiu-wai in "The Last Day". There must be sausages hanging from my mouth, but I was sure that I was not in danger of my life.

    Published Huang Degong cried like a tearful person. If his loyalty to Emperor Hongguang was due to external factors before and was his duty as a minister, then now he is really willing to die for Emperor Hongguang.  For an emperor to "drug" his ministers, it requires more than just courage, love for talents, etc. It means that the emperor really has his place in his heart!  I am afraid that no one in the ancient Mingjun can do this, and some are just to win people's hearts, but Huang Degong knew that Emperor Hongguang was indeed risking his life to save him. He was not trying to do anything to him, but really cared about him.  life and death.

    I took off my shirt and put it on Huang Degong, "My dear, I don't know where our monarchs and ministers are now. If we meet the Tatars, we may be in danger of death. Just throw away all the armor on your body first!"  Just wear clothes that don¡¯t show off.¡±

    Huang Degong buried Emperor Hongguang's kindness to him in his heart and nodded, "I can't take this shirt anymore. Look at the weather, the emperor and Wei Chen may have been running away for an hour! Maybe they are in the Tatars now.  Within the realm, I will call the Emperor Master! To avoid making mistakes."

    Posted: "What Aiqing said is, then Aiqing will pretend to be my family member for the time being." Seeing that the war horse was almost rested, I got up and brought the horse over. I was about to get Huang Degong onto the horse, but I didn't know that Huang Degong would not agree.  , and finally under my compulsionThen he sat on his mount with tears in his eyes.

    Because we couldn¡¯t tell the direction, Huang Degong and I could only slowly walk through the woods. Finally, we found a relatively open area and stopped to rest. ¡°Let¡¯s rest here for a while and wait until the stars come out at night. After we know the direction, we will  I know which direction to go." I looked around and found a mountain pear tree in front of me. Although the pears were still green and not big, they should be edible!  "I'm going to pick some pears and come back. Please don't move, Aiqing, in case the wound bleeds."
