When the Ming Army of the North Road fought fiercely with the Zheng Army in Anzishan, Guangning, the 11th Town of the Ming Army of the Middle Road and the Marine Division, led by the Governor Zhao Ziqiang, the Deputy Governor Lu Guangzu and others, successively fought with the Zheng Army Tao Yurao, Wu Liang, etc. The Ministry fought several times.

On July 2, the local Han people came to report that Zheng Jun had military supplies and settled in Jiaoshui County, thirty miles southwest of Nanding City. Zhao Ziqiang immediately ordered the Brigade of Eleven Towns to attack. After the Ming army arrived in Jiaoshui, led by local Han guides, they detoured from the side, easily bypassing the Shibi and Zheng Jun checkpoints, and raided Jiaoshui City.

There were more than 800 Zheng Jun troops stationed in Jiaoshui City, and the resistance was fierce at first, but after the Ming army used gunpowder to blow up a section of the city wall of Jiaoshui, Zheng Jun quickly lost his support. By dusk, the Ming army completely captured Jiaoshui County, and more than 100 remnants of the Zheng army in the city abandoned their weapons and surrendered. After investigation, there was no military ration for Zheng Jun in the city.

After handing over the water to Li Qixiao, the Han rebel army who arrived later, Brigade B moved towards Nanzhi County on the banks of the Red River. When the Ming army arrived, the defenders had already fled at night, and the people of Annan in the city organized resistance spontaneously. They desperately defended with swords, spears, farm tools and other tools. After a long battle, the Ming army broke through Nanzhi County at the cost of 58 casualties. After entering the city, the Ming army drove half of the young and strong men in the city to the Red River on the grounds that the people in the city resisted the heavenly soldiers and refused to obey Wang Hua, and drowned more than 2,000 people. Until this time, Fang Zhiming, a Dayue courtier of Shenglong, came not only from the navy, but also from the army.

Zheng Jun failed in consecutive battles with serious attrition. The three provinces of Thanh Hoa, Shannan and Nanding were eroded, and the southern coast was even more urgent. The Ming army also appeared in Quang Ninh, Hongji and other places in the north. Only then did Zheng Zhan feel the seriousness of the situation. I regretted my misjudgment in advance, but I had to swallow the consequences.

Tao Yurao wrote to Master Zheng, pointing out that the Ming army attacked the coast with navy troops and incited the Han people in the territory to rebel, so that the main force of the Zheng army was pinned down in large numbers and had to be stationed in various places, only to be divided and attacked by the Ming army. In this situation, it is feared that Da Yue will be in danger of subjugation. Wu Liang also agreed with what Tao Yurao said in the letter. He suggested that the rotten areas should be abandoned, and the troops and horses should be integrated. Zhuzhen transferred troops to surround and destroy the Ming army.

Just when Tao Yurao wrote the letter, Zhao Ziqiang decided to attack Nanding City directly. The main force of the eleventh town of the Ming army was more than 5,000, along with 2,000 sailors, and more than 5,000 civilians of the Annan Han army. The military situation was urgent, Tao Yurao personally led 5,000 excellent soldiers to sit in Nanding to preside over the defense of Nanding, and Wu Liang led 6,000 soldiers to stand by near Nanding. Shannan organizes defense, shrinks the existing troops and moves to Thanglong. At the same time when Li Zhu was activated, Zheng Zhan sent a message to Ding Wenzuo, the guard in the north, and told him not to rush to hand over the Ming princess and courtiers to the Qing army.

The general Zheng Gen, who confronted the Ruan army in the south, wrote to Lord Zheng, saying that the Ming army occupied Haiyang Water Village, and all kinds of supplementary reinforcements continued. Nanding was alone and the city was not very strong and tall. The withdrawal lured the Ming army into the Shenglong Mansion, and then the imperial court mobilized all the elite soldiers in Gyeonggi, and together with the northern town soldiers, encircled the Ming army that had penetrated alone, cut off its back path, and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop. The Ming army in the middle route suffered heavy losses and would definitely shrink back to Haiyang Water Village, and the troops and horses of the other provinces would join forces to surround and wipe out the chaotic people, so the situation could be determined.

Abandoning Nanding and letting the Ming army go deep into Gyeonggi, Zheng Zha had the courage to do so, but all his ministers were against it, and Emperor Li Weiqi would not agree. Therefore, Zheng Zha did not accept Zheng Gen's bold suggestion, and only ordered Zheng Gen to quickly draw his elite troops north to stabilize the front lines of Hejing and Shannan, and open up the passage to the north.

The Ming army began to advance towards the provincial capital of Nanding on July 6. In the following two days, there were frequent exchanges of fire with the Zheng army, and all losses were minor. On the morning of July 8, the Zheng army general Wu Liang led his troops to launch a general attack on the Ming army, and in the afternoon, the battle was fierce for three hours. The Zheng army dispatched more than 160 war elephants in this battle. The initial progress was smooth, but the war elephants were disturbed by the Ming army using a large number of firearms and thunderstorms. They violated their own troops and horses. One commander, more than 2,000 people were killed and wounded. On the Ming side, 658 people were killed and more than 1,000 wounded.

Zhao Ziqiang was annoyed by the stubborn resistance of the Zheng army and the delay in Nanding for too long, so on the 10th he sent an order to launch a general attack on Nanding. After the battle began, the Ming army organized artillery to slam the Zheng army outside the city. The Zheng army outside the city lacked cover and no means of counterattack, and the outer positions of Nanding fell one after another. The Ming army occupied the commercial halls in the southwest of the city, and the northwest of the city, outflanked the highlands in the north of the city, captured the forts in the northeast of the city, and bombarded the city with the artillery of the captured Annan army. All the important places near Nanding were lost, thousands of Zheng's troops retreated into the city, and the order was in chaos.

At the same time, the eleven towns organized the Annan Han army to attack the city. Due to the lack of siege equipment, the Annan Han army could only use the ladder to attack the city, and was beaten by the defending Zheng army. Subsequently, the Ming army organized artillery bombardment of the city wall, killing a large number of Zheng Jun at the head of the city. Most of the Zheng army in the city were excellent soldiers, supported by the Zheng clan, and everyone had the heart to fight to the death. However, under the onslaught of the Ming army, which had the advantage of firepower, the Zheng army gradually lost its support. The Ming army entered the city from the east and south gates at the same time, and the defenders continued to fight in the street until late at night. A few hours later, Zheng Jun's resistance was no longer heard in the city, and the governor Tao Yurao committed suicide by swallowing gold.

After entering the city, due to the fierce resistance of the Zheng army, the Ming army and the Han army were killed and wounded more than 2,000. At the same time, in order to force the Annan people to give up their resistance and accept the treaty, Zhao Ziqiang sent an order to wash the city for three days.

After the order to wash the city was issued, the Ming army became wildly beastly and carried out a horrific massacre in Nanding~www.NovelMTL.com~ They killed anyone they saw, some beheaded, some ears were cut off; After rape, belly cut open...

The massacre lasted for three days, and the entire Nanding was plunged into a pool of blood, and the corpses piled up several feet high. The roads were full of dead people, it was inconvenient to walk, and the blood was disgusting.

When Nanding fell, the governor Tao Yurao, and the general Wu Liang both died in the country, Shenglong was shocked, and the emperor Li Weiqi was even scared to sleep all night.

To make matters worse, there was an emergency from Pekan Province. The Mo clan's army in Cao Ping, led by its master Mo Jingyu, brazenly sent troops to attack Pekan; Zheng Gen from the south also sent an urgent message to Thang Long, and the Ruan clan's army had already crossed two days ago. Jiangbei criminals.

In front of Gyeonggi, there was a Ming army. The whole territory of Shannan, Qinghua, and Nanding was eroded. Hongji and Guangning were controlled by the Ming army. The Mo clan in the north and the Ruan clan in the south fell into the ground. Negotiated with the Ming army, willing to return the princess and courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, and another five million taels of indemnity, just for the great tomorrow to quell the anger.
