Chapter 620

The Liang army's heavy insurgency suddenly appeared on the flanks, which shocked the Qing army and the Northern Ming army.

At this time, after Wu Sangui attacked, Kong Youde's flanks were completely exposed.

After the heavy infantry army landed, they immediately arranged into walls, with their steps firmly advancing slowly, and attacking the enemy.

The archers and bird gunners of the Northern Ming army on the flanks were immediately in panic, and panic spread on the flanks.

Just when the soldiers of the Northern Ming army were at a loss, the sound of the horn of the Northern Ming army retreating suddenly rose on the battlefield.

When the soldiers of the Northern Ming army heard the horn, they all showed an incredible expression. Retreat? At this time, what is the difference between retreat and escape? Isn’t it just escape?

Although the soldiers were shocked and suspicious, the military spirits that were inherited did not disappear with the addition of new recruits.

"The prince is running away!" The soldiers of the Northern Ming army in the military formation pointed at the cavalry of Liang and exclaimed at the cavalry of the Northern Ming army who were running past in front of him at a very fast speed.

Wu Sangui led the cavalry and flew a shot to avoid Xu Heihu who had collided with him. Taking advantage of the Liang army's heavy stance just landing, he whizzed past the gap between the heavy stance and the formation.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Northern Ming army all took advantage of their traditions. The horse army quickly evacuated the battlefield, and the infantry turned around and ran away like a landslide.

In the central army, the Qing generals were shocked and roared anxiously, "Prince, Wu Sangui of Donkeys ran away again."

Kong Youde turned his head and was shocked to death. His mind was like thunder blew up, which made all three souls and seven spirits leave their bodies.

"Wu Sangui! I am your mother!" Kong Youde cursed.

However, it was useless to curse at this time. As soon as the Northern Ming army fled, the western section collapsed completely, and the Northern Ming army in front also retreated one after another, and the entire formation collapsed instantly.

At this time, the drums and roars in the Liang army's formation sounded, and Gao Mingheng waved his sword and pointed angrily, "The whole army attacked!"

"Kill!" Liang soldiers gathered their blood and shouted and launched a surging attack on the enemy.

"Prince, if you don't leave, it's all!" The Qing general shouted loudly.

Kong Youde had red eyes. Seeing Liang Jun pressing up, he stepped forward from the flank like chopping melons and vegetables. He could only grit his teeth and shout, "Get away!"

"Retreat!" The Qing general heard the order and hurriedly shouted, pulling his horse away.

The Northern Ming army in the western section did not contact the Liang army and could still retreat, but the Qing army in the eastern section was already strangled with the Liang army. How could they retreat?

The sound of retreating horns soared into the sky. The Qing infantry, who was fighting hard on the battlefield, wanted to retreat, but when he turned around, he was stabbed to death by the Liang army's gun and could not escape.

The Qing army infantry was bitten, and the Eight Banners cavalry moved when they heard the sound. They pulled the reins and turned their horses' heads, left the Liang army cavalry, left their infantry, and evacuated the battlefield.

"Kill!"

"Run!"

The soldiers of the Liang army opened the horses, crossed the trench, shouted and charged, and launched a ruthless pursuit of the enemy.

The Qing army fled one after another with Wu Sangui and Kong Youde. Tens of thousands of troops were shamelessly betrayed and lost their pillars. Under the fierce attack of the Liang army, they were defeated on the whole line.

The Qing army's infantry and cavalry were mixed, fleeing north in a panic, while the Liang army units ruthlessly chased the defeated soldiers.

...

After seeing Gao Mingheng off outside the city, Gao Huan did not return to the city, but accompanied by Zhou Yanru and Huai'an officials, he went to the refugee camp outside the city.

This time, the Qing army and the puppet Ming army took advantage of Gao Huan's expedition to the west and entered the territory of Liang State, causing a large number of people to escape from the war and fled to the Lianghuai region.

These people left their homes and came to Huai'an and other places. They relied on the government's relief and found some work on the canal to make ends meet.

The Liang State wanted to complete unification and Gao Huan wanted to replace the Ming Dynasty to obtain justice. The key question was how to make the people live better than the Ming Dynasty.

If one regime replaces another regime, if the lives of the people are not as good as those of the previous generations, then this regime will naturally be unstable.

At this time, outside Huai'an City, there were endless tents on both sides of the Grand Canal, stretching for more than ten miles, with more than 10,000 large tents living in 150,000 refugees.

Now the southern part of Liang State is saturated with population and land contradictions. The south has no way to resettle these more than 100,000 refugees. They can only move them back to Henan after driving away the Qing army.

Gao Huan came out of the camp under the escort of a group of cavalry. When he saw the refugees walking through it, he couldn't help but sneer and sighed: "It's my fault to let the people suffer!"

Zhou Yanru hurriedly said, "The king is kind, and you don't have to blame yourself. This is all the disaster for Jiannu. How can you blame the king?"

Gao Huan shook his head, "I am the king of the people, so I have the responsibility to protect the people. Now that the enemy has invaded and harmed the people, how can I say that I have no responsibility?"

The reporters from several major newspapers behind him recorded Gao Huan's words, and were moved by Gao Huan's kindness and responsibility.

It is a blessing for Liang Kingdom and the world to have such a king.

At this time, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Zhou's previous words are correct. In the past two years, Jiannu and Beiming have restored their strength. I must be severely injured to ensure peace in the people!"

While talking, Gao Huan and everyone entered the camp, and saw the children playing carefreely in the lime-smelling camp, while the adults gathered together to discuss, worried about their future livelihoods with a worried face.

At this time, Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Is the food and the tent enough?"

The Huai'an prefect replied quickly: "Don't worry, the vassal government allocated military rations and military funds for relief, and the grain and tents are temporarily enough."

Gao Huan nodded when he heard the words. What he was most worried about was the food issue, but the military funds reserved for the relief were obviously empty.

Gao Huan asked: "Is the evacuation plan formulated? Refugees gathering, one is that they consume too much, and the other is that they are prone to plague. They need to organize their relocation as soon as possible!"

Chen Yuanji, the prefect of Huai'an, hurriedly said: "Don't worry, king, we will prepare for the relocation in advance. But..."

Gao Huan stopped and asked, "But what?"

"Report to the king!" The prefect Chen Yuanji bowed and said hesitantly: "Some refugees don't want to go back to Henan, so they go to Jiangnan by themselves along the canal!"

Gao Huan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "Why?"

Chen Yuanji explained: "The refugee said that he had just settled in Henan, and Jiannu came here. He worked hard for several years and did not want to go back to Henan, so he decided to go to Jiangnan to make a living."

After hearing this, Gao Huan immediately understood.

The four battles in Henan were destroyed and built again and again. The people were repeatedly tortured by the Qing army, but no one could stand it.

This time, life only improved after two years of peace. When the Qing army arrived, it had to start over again. The people really couldn't stand the trouble.

Therefore, some ordinary people did not want to move back and decided to go to Jiangnan to make a living.

The handicraft industry in the Liang Kingdom Jiangnan is shrinking greatly, and there are still a large number of employees who have lost their livelihoods and have nothing to do. The influx of these refugees will definitely exacerbate the problem in Jiangnan.

By then, these refugees will not be able to find jobs and will only become beggars.

Gao Huan pondered for a moment and immediately asked, "How many people have gone to Jiangnan?"

"More than 10,000 people, helping the elderly and young, go south along the canal!" Chen Yuanji replied.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Stay the remaining people and send someone to talk about the people who went south to recover them."

"This..." Chen Yuanji heard the order and said in a little danger: "King, it may be difficult for those refugees to come back if they want to go to Jiangnan."

Zhou Yanru said, "Do as the king wants!"

Chen Yuanji, the governor of Huai'an, quickly saluted, "I'll do it now!"

At that moment Gao Huan was about to enter the camp, but a team of cavalry rushed over and reported to Gao Huan, "King! Governor Gao's good news!"

Yang Yan hurriedly took it over and presented it to Gao Huan. Gao Huan immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha... OK! The plan to surround Wei and save Zhao has been accomplished."
