The remaining Ming army retreated hastily with Xu Da, and the situation in Jiangbei with Tang He on the other side was not optimistic.
Xie Xuan relied on his peak strength as an innate warrior and coupled with his understanding of battle tactics.
They formed a last-ditch battle formation, and with the help of warships, they fought a water battle with Tang He for three days and three nights.
Nearly 40,000 Ming navy troops were forced to fight, and the entire army was wiped out. The most important thing was the artillery corps to help.
The remaining 60,000 Ming troops were designed by Xie Xuan to use fire to ignite the important provisions of the Ming army.
Then, while the Ming army went to put out the fire, the artillery team fired artillery at the place where the fire was burning.
Not only did it completely destroy the food and fodder of the Ming army, it also blasted away the Ming soldiers who were rushing to put out the fire.
As a result, of the 60,000 Ming Dynasty troops, less than 5,000 of them were successfully taken away by Tang He amid the chaos.
The rest were either beaten away or surrendered.
What's more, the first person died under artillery fire.
"General Lin, you guys did a good job this time. You set the fire very well."
Naturally, Lin Chong led several other warrior generals in the innate realm and risked their lives to rush into the enemy camp and set the fire.
"It is better that the marshal arranged it well and obtained their military camp drawings through bad people in advance, so that we can successfully set the fire;
This raging fire not only burned away the hopes of the Ming army, but also burned down Jiangbei's defense. "
At this moment, a soldier hurried over.
"There was bad news from General Jiujiang. Xin Wenli was secretly planned by Deng Chenggong, the governor of Jiujiang. Not only did Caizhou's army lose more than half, but the Luo brothers were also surrounded;
Currently, the remaining Caizhou Army, led by General Pei Yuanqing, is already fighting Chang Yuchun's army. "
When Xie Xuan heard this, his face darkened instantly.
Then he opened the map and spoke.
"Chao Chao, you will lead an army of 40,000 people to support you. Ma Zhong, in cooperation with Eunuch Cai Lun, will lead an army of 10,000 people to garrison here. The remaining people will attack Jiangbei with me;
Nowadays, Jiangbei is already within easy reach, and the plan must not be disrupted by other things. For the Luo brothers, His Majesty must have other arrangements;
Wang Chao, remember with your 40,000 troops, you must capture Jiujiang County first. The first thing to do is to kill all the clans there. If you guessed correctly, the clans must also be involved. "
The soldier nodded.
Xie Xuan said disdainfully upon seeing this.
"These idiots didn't think carefully. They were probably deceived by Deng Chenggong, thinking that the Ming army was about to take back Jiujiang County, and they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to win a wave of credit;
At that time, they can be appointed officials and marquises. I am afraid that at this time, they are still naively waiting for the Ming Dynasty's army. These losers will have to pay the price for their wrong choices. "
Although Yang Qiu on the other side was very angry, he still sent 20,000 troops to support first.
Together with the 40,000 Beifu troops, the total is 60,000 troops.
Together with the Huwei Army and the surviving Caizhou Army, it is still possible to barely gather an army of 80,000.
If they don't attack and only defend the city, it will still be enough to hold on until Yang Qiu and Xie Xuan completely occupy Jiangdong and Jiangbei.
However, things are unpredictable, and another bad news soon came from the Ming Dynasty.
Even more shocking news than two consecutive defeats was that Yongle Emperor Zhu Di led an army of 100,000 to fight against 200,000 Mongolian cavalry.
Not only did he kill Temujin's son Tuo Lei, he also successfully killed Wang Baobao, but he was also shot through the chest by Kublai Khan with a bow and arrow.
He died under the horse, and a soldier forcibly took the body back.
Of the 100,000 Ming Imperial Guards, less than 4,000 were left.
The 200,000 Mongolian cavalry also lost nearly 120,000, in addition to the 100,000 Ming Imperial Guards.
Almost 300,000 Ming militiamen also died on the battlefield.
The six northern counties were almost destroyed, with graves and corpses everywhere.
Zhu Di's eldest son Zhu Gaochi became the new emperor. The first thing he did was to kill Yao Guangxiao and donate his head to Yang Qiu.
It also stated that the assassinations were all committed by Yao Guangxiao alone, and Yao Guangxiao also personally wrote a confession.
In order to express his apology, Zhu Gaochi was willing to hand over Yan'an, Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jiangxi and Dongxi counties, including several key cities in the south, to the Sui Dynasty.
He also proclaimed himself a vassal to the Sui Dynasty and recognized it as a dynasty.
Today, the Ming Dynasty has been severely weakened and has lost half of its country. In addition to the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, the six northern counties have also suffered heavy losses.
This time has completely damaged the country's destiny, and it will never recover in a hundred years.
Yang Qiu thought carefully and asked to hand over Deng Chenggong.
After thinking again and again, Zhu Gaochi chose to hand over Deng Chenggong.
Under the verbal and military abuse of the Manchu Dynasty, Zhu Gaochi, the so-called faint king, successfully preserved the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, just rely on Yang Qiu's current military strength.
It is not a problem to reach Nanjing City. By then, the Ming Dynasty will truly be subjugated.
The reason why Yang Qiu didn't do this had another purpose.
If it really swallows up all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty will definitely not be able to expand outside in a short time.
Because the territory is so large, problems may easily arise if the people's sentiments are not appeased in time.
And after taking down the Ming Dynasty, it meant that he had to face an enemy, Mongolia. After Temujin knew that his son Tuolei had died, he vowed to defeat the Ming Dynasty.
And officially announced that Mongolia would be changed into the Yuan Empire.
The first took over the dynasty, and the dynasty, and declared it to be an empire.
At this moment, the Yuan Dynasty had annexed Xixia, and the Song Dynasty joined forces to prepare to attack the Liao Kingdom.
