Chapter 156： Split the **** in two ways

In Li Chengdong's temporary residence, his soldiers rushed over to report that the city was broken, and asked him to run away quickly.

"What, the city is broken, what did Zhang Yingyuan eat?"

Li Chengdong was shocked. Although Wu Jun's weapons had taken advantage of him, they had more than 40,000 troops, and it was enough to last for several hours with human lives.

However, how long it took to fight, and the city broke in just over an hour, it's papery.

"General Zhang led his troops out of the city from the west gate, saying that he was going to attack the enemy's rear."

The soldier reported.

Li Chengdong was almost furious when he heard the words, he was not as foolish as those soldiers, he would believe that kind of nonsense.

Zhang Yingyuan's troops are all infantry, without high-speed mobility, so they attacked a ghost in this plain area. Obviously, this **** escaped with excuses.

Just run away, Li Chengdong can understand Zhang Yingyuan's fear. However, what he couldn't tolerate was that the **** escaped and didn't call himself, and actually ran away secretly.

Obviously, I wanted to make myself a back-up, acting as a substitute for the dead.

"This bastard, I want to take a copy of him severely."

In a rage, Li Chengdong habitually patted the table with his hand.

Then the sharp pain in his arm reminded him that his arm was injured. Li Chengdong bared his teeth, his anger had nowhere to vent.

"General, let's run away. The North Gate is still under our control."

The soldiers reminded that the current situation was urgent, not the time to struggle to participate in Zhang Yingyuan.

"Escape, where to escape, do you want me to jump into the Yangtze River and swim there?"

Li Chengdong said angrily, if Ximen hadn't been lost, he could still escape to Tongling all the way.

But now the West Gate has been lost, leaving only the North Gate and East Gate. To the east is Wu Jun's site and to the north is the dead end of the Yangtze River.

If his arm was not injured, Li Chengdong would mount a horse and struggle.

But the sharp pain in his arm now prevents him from riding a horse.

The soldiers closed their mouths, they knew that Li Chengdong was about to surrender. Let's drop it, Li Chengdong ignored his family, and it didn't matter if they were soldiers.

After more than two hours, the entire city was cleared and the peace of the past was restored.

Liu Hansan sat in the yamen and listened to the statistics of the results.

"In this campaign, our army beheaded a total of 9,500 enemy troops and captured more than 23,000 people. Zhang Yingyuan's army escaped, and more than 7,000 soldiers were lost. Our army killed more than 2,600 people. , Seriously injured four hundred people.

Seized five thousand crossbows and matchlocks, twenty thousand pairs of swords and spears armor, two hundred and fifty thousand silver, and other property..."

A trivial victory, the losses were within an acceptable range, and the gains were not bad.

It's not bad that compared with the previous wars, if you compare it with the battles of other Ming and Qing troops, their results will be an out-and-out victory.

"The main force of the Qing army has been defeated, and there are not many enemy troops in Tongling and Xuancheng. I decided to divide the troops into two groups and take them down."

According to previous intelligence estimates, there are currently about 13,000 people in Tongling, while Xuancheng is even less, estimated to be about 8,000 people.

"I'll go to Xuancheng, you go to get Tongling."

Wang Dayong said.

"Perhaps you can bring Li Chengdong in the fight against Xuancheng. Xuancheng's defender is Li Chengdong's subordinate, and he will bring Li Chengdong over to threaten the opponent and use this guy's surplus value."

Liu Hansan said that Li Chengdong was already dead in his eyes.

Other descendants can continue to mix in the Wu army, but Li Chengdong is absolutely useless, because they were fighting against Li Chengdong's troops when they rebelled.

And Wu Changqing's father was also killed by Li Chengdong's troops.

Although Xue Wu who killed Wu Zhifan has been executed, Li Chengdong can't escape.

Liu Hansan also knew that Wu Changqing hated Li Chengdong very much, because Li Chengdong once slaughtered the city.

After leaving a small number of troops to guard the prisoners, Liu Hansan and Wang Dayong marched towards Tongling and Xuancheng respectively.

After nearly three days of driving, Liu Hansan finally arrived in Tongling. Some small towns passing by along the way did not encounter any resistance.

The wars in this era are almost all around the city to fight for, as for the rural towns, there is no need to fight at all.

As long as the city is occupied, the officials in the county are controlled, and then an order goes down, the surrounding villages and towns will declare their allegiance.

For these rural towns, it doesn't matter who is in power. They are all taxed anyway.

Moreover, these towns were basically controlled by the gentry and landlords, and they basically had no resistance to the army. As long as the army in power is not excessive, they generally choose to obey.

If the army in power wants to control these places, they must also cooperate with these gentry and landlords. Generally, they will not be too embarrassed.

After arriving in Tongling, Liu Hansan was not ready to attack the city, and Zhang Yingyuan's envoy came out in Tongling, expressing his wish to return.

Of course, their surrender is conditional, and Zhang Yingyuan hopes to continue to control the military power.

"Of course it's okay to continue to lead troops, but there are probably more than 10,000 people in one of our divisions. It's impossible for General Zhang to come over to be a division commander, but it's not a problem to be a brigade commander."

Liu Hansan said.

Although Tongling is also a small county, it doesn't take much effort to fight. However, deaths and injuries are definitely inevitable. If a thousand people die, the pension alone will cost two to three thousand taels.

In order to save this money, Liu Hansan is also willing to accept Zhang Yingyuan's surrender.

"As it should be, I don't dare to sit on an equal footing with Master Liu, but the brigade that my general hopes he will lead is still his old subordinate. The old subordinates are more familiar with them, and they are more convenient to command."

The messenger said that they had carefully assessed the possible treatment before they came. A brigade commander can bring about 6,000 soldiers and horses, which is less than Zhang Yingyuan's current strength, but it is acceptable.

If you want to fully retain your own strength, you don't need to think about it, where can surrender be so good.

After all, they weren't avatars when Wu Jun was in distress, but they were forced to surrender helplessly when they were in a disadvantaged situation.

"There is no problem with this."

Liu Hansan smiled and said that not only was he smiling on his face, he was also smiling in his heart. Zhang Yingyuan was too naive to laugh.

After mixing with Wu Changqing for a while, Liu Hansan has roughly figured out Wu Changqing's routine, which is to divide the soldiers and senior generals into two parts.

Mobilize the position of the generals from time to time to prevent a general from mastering a certain unit for a long time, so that the generals cannot cultivate their own forces.

The logistics department is also responsible for the distribution of military pay, and the money does not pass through the hands of their generals, cutting off the economic interests of them and the soldiers.

I have to say that this trick is simple and effective.

At least for the moment, Wu Changqing's generals have adapted to this model. There are generals who are not reconciled, but they are unable to change. Some generals even like this model.

In this mode, they don't need to worry about military expenses, troops, or logistics. The only thing they need to do is to take command when they set out.

This kind of work is much easier than before.

Although his power is not guaranteed in this way, it is all within Wu Changqing's thoughts. However, as long as he does not rebel against Wu Changqing, Wu Changqing will not cut their power for no reason.

As long as Zhang Yingyuan surrenders, Wu Changqing will have a way to break the relationship between him and his troops.
