The special success or failure was very bad.

In the battle outside Zhongxiang City, Yongzhou Town on the flank was defeated first, so that Zhu Shedou on the front could only be divided into troops to rescue. Later, Chen Jun from the front came and Zhu Shedou hit him in with both sides.

The Qing army retreated helplessly to Zhongxiang, and Te Cheng'er personally led his army to pick up Zhu Shedou and others. As a result, the mud and sand were all over, and some Chen troops covered in green were mixed into the defeated soldiers.

Then can the Qing army still have a good time at night?

There were many Qing soldiers who had night blindness, and their morale was depressed by the defeat during the day. Now there was Chen army making trouble inside, and there was a night offensive launched by Chen army outside. Only when Zhong Xiang's Qing army was undefeated would there be ghosts!

The special amount is that you can only flee south in a panic.

Zhu Shedou escaped with injuries.

When nearly 30,000 Qing troops fled to Jingmen, only less than 5,000 were left.

The remaining 20,000 people fled about four or five thousand, and then they were either killed or captured.

When Chen's army continued to force Jingmen, the troops in Techeng's hands were less than 7,000. When he heard that Chen's army was coming, he immediately fled to Jingzhou.

It can be said that after this battle, Chen Jun temporarily eliminated the threat from Huguang.

The Qing army no longer gathered 30,000 to 50,000 troops, and it was impossible for the Qing army to launch a large-scale attack from the south.

Qiu Zhikuan and Chen Yuanyou immediately divided their troops into two groups, one by one, one by one, rushed to the Jingzhou River, the other turned eastward, and rushed to Hanyang, and the soldiers would point directly to Wuchang on the other side.

Anlu locally left a regiment of new soldiers to clear out the scattered soldiers and brave soldiers from the Qing army.

After the news reached Xiangyang, Chen army cheered and the Qing army felt like they had lost their parents. Even Yu Jinliang's reputation in the Huguang army felt that he could not help.

The special success and failure made Xiangyang an isolated city.

Even though there are tens of thousands of Qing troops in the city, even if the city has sufficient food and grass for military supplies, the morale of the army is already in chaos.

Zhao Liang took the opportunity to lead his army across the Han River, and just like he was pinching the point, he chose the time when the morale of the Qing army was most turbulent.

Yu Jinliang was under greater pressure, but he was determined to stick to Xiangyang.

"Hmph, you two have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and they actually told so many people to come together. Is this a bad move for me?"

Yu Jinliang looked at the dozen or so officers with their heads down and his face turned pale. He had already expressed his attitude and decided to defend Xiangyang City to the death. There were so many people jumping out to persuade him to go south.

The culprit is the two people he is looking at now.

"The military has wronged the military, and this is loyalty."

"Yes, military and humble positions are all out of loyalty and public intention."

The two officers started their own performance again. Although it was nothing more than keeping the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood and preserving their useful bodies to serve the court, the two of them said differently that people did not feel old-fashioned, which was also a skill.

"You dare to be stubborn. It's okay if you are timid as a mouse. If you implicate so many colleagues in the water, isn't it just that you hold the law and don't blame everyone?" Yu Jinliang's face was full of cold murderous intent, "Come here. I'll drag these two timid rats out and behead me."

Several personal soldiers rushed over and dragged the two officers who were struggling and howling hard, and took them out of the court. Soon two shrill screams rang out.

Yu Jinliang's eyes were cold. He was indeed a bit inferior to those two cowards, but he didn't talk to them.

I advised him to leave the city and escape south. Is it a way to escape south?

The main force of the thief rebels is on the Yangtze River. Without the strong city of Xiangyang, the army fled south and the morale was disintegrated. At that time, they only need to be blocked by the thief rebels, and the tens of thousands of military forces will be defeated meaningless.

Yu Jinliang was an old man who had been in the army for decades. His military qualities told him that even if he led his army to abandon the city and fled south, he could not escape the Chen army's encirclement and blockade. On the contrary, the city of Xiangyang was safer.

There are strong urban defenses, wide moats, food and military supplies here. As long as the morale of the army is stable, how can we not stick to it for a long time?

Moreover, Xiangyang City is the gateway to northern Hubei, and its military significance is greater.

As long as he is stuck here, the Chen army will not be able to break through the Han River, and even the entire Chen army in Jiangbei will not be able to occupy a stable position. At the same time, it can also attract the Chen army's troops, restrain the Chen army's footsteps, and gain more time for the court to raise troops. It can be said that there are multiple goals in one fell swoop!

Yu Jinliang will never escape.

Even if he won't wait until the court army returns to Xiangyang next year, he will be defeated and the city will be destroyed and there will be no place to die. It will be worth it and the death is meaningful. The court will never forget his contribution.

Yu Jinliang thought very clearly that he was almost in his seventies and would not lose even if he died. And being able to be loyal to the court and make such a huge contribution, the court's subsequent pension can bring a layer of gold to his descendants, making his Yu family prosperous and prosperous for generations.

Even if he dies, it is definitely worth it.

But he forgot one thing, although his death is worth it, would his subordinates also think that his death is worth it?

The Qing Dynasty would posthumously posthumously named Yu Jinli, give the Yu family a great reward, and make the Yu family prosperous and prosperous for generations, but what about the others?

I think it is impossible!

The Qing Dynasty was not so generous.

Otherwise, the Green Camp soldiers would not have lived so miserably.

So there is nothing wrong with his officers eager for a "way of life".

Because everyone knows what Zhong Xiang's defeat means to the Qing army in Huguang.

The mobile power in Huguang has been exhausted. After this defeat, Huguang's vitality was severely damaged. If it wants to recover, it will not be able to recover in a short while. The court could only mobilize troops from Guizhou, Sichuan and Sichuan to help!

Let’s not talk about the morale used to transfer troops, just talk about how these soldiers cross the Yangtze River.

Anyway, no one believed that the Qing army could still defend Yichang Prefecture after this defeat.

After the latter was stuck, the Qing army in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou could only gather on the south bank of the Yangtze River first, and then cross the river. However, the surface power of the Qing army was a scumbag compared to Chen's army.

The news they received before was that Chen Jun's surface fleet had reached Hukou. Is it difficult to continue to work hard to enter Hanyang?

With the land of Jiangbei as a supporter, Chen's navy could immediately stand firm, and then they swept along the river. How could the Qing army's large troops cross the river?

Even if a group of people were transported by empty transport, what about the subsequent transportation of troops? What about the transportation of materials and military supplies?

If these problems are not solved, then if you fight across the Yangtze River and fight to Xiangyang, it will be all nonsense.

Can they hold on to Xiangyang City for a month or two, and can they hold on to the next year after the spring thawing, then can they hold on to the half year and last for a whole year?

Anyway, many officers don’t have hope.

This is also the biggest reason why a group of people immediately match when someone takes the lead.

Because they didn't want to die in Xiangyang.

Yes, it is very dangerous to abandon the city and go south, but no matter how dangerous it is, there is a glimmer of hope. If you stick to Xiangyang, you will die without any life.
