As soon as the Qing army's offensive slowed down, the Ming army took the opportunity to consolidate the defensive line again. When Liu Yan saw it, he no longer planned to surrender Hu Shundu, and when he saw that the Qing army's offensive had slowed down, he immediately said angrily: "What are you doing?" Don't hurry up and annihilate all these stubborn Ming troops. ”

Suddenly, under the supervision of Liu Wei, the Qing soldiers went all out to attack the Ming army's defense line. The retreating Ming army had already gone away, and Liu Wei no longer thought about chasing and killing those retreating Ming troops. He directly commanded the Qing army to break through the defense line of the Ming army, and then surrounded all the Ming troops here.

Seeing that some Ming troops had inflicted such heavy casualties on the Qing army, Liu Wei said mercilessly: "Kill all these Ming troops, and leave no one behind." "With Liu Wei's order, the Qing army did not want to take prisoners, and the Ming army did not intend to surrender. Both sides are exchanging lives for lives, and there is no room for anything.

Hu Shundu no longer thought about breaking through, and was stabbed through the body by the Qing army with six spears and died on the spot. With the fall of the last Ming soldier, none of the Ming troops present surrendered, and all of them were killed. These Ming soldiers who died in battle did not receive the respect of the Qing army.

Liu Wei cruelly ordered the Qing army to hang all the Ming soldiers who had not yet died on the trees on the side of the road and hang them all alive. The soldiers of the Ming army who died in the battle were all stripped of their clothes and thrown naked on the side of the road. He also cut off all the heads of these dead in battle, and built them into a pile on the side of the road, and built a Jingguan to deter the natives.

By the time all this was done, it was already getting dark. Liu Wei led the army to Xiabang Duxia Village, which is not far from Mengmian. Although the Qing army defeated He Jiuyi's army, it also suffered heavy casualties of its own. Now there are only about 1,500 people, which is basically the same as the number of casualties of the Ming army.

On the side of the Ming army, He Jiuyi hurriedly returned to Mengmian with a thousand retreating people. Joining up with a thousand troops in the city, they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight the Qing army again, and the two armies began to confront each other in Mengmian.

For a while, there were endless sentries coming and going near Mengmian City, and there were scouts fighting everywhere. But the armies of both sides did not move at all, the Qing army was waiting for the wounded to recover, and He Jiuyi kept urging the army behind to come. But Wu Sanxing, who had been following behind him at the beginning, now led the army to be stationed at the foot of the back mountain of Mengbo, Xiaomengzhun was only a dozen miles away from Mengbo City, and he didn't dare to move.

Seeing this situation, He Jiuyi also knew that no matter how he urged, Wu Sanxing would not take another step forward. had to send Li Dingguo to the back for help, but there was no movement for several days. The situation of the Ming army, of course, the sentry in Liu Wei's hand also investigated clearly.

Seeing that Wu Sansheng had not dared to come forward, Liu Wei was immediately relieved, and while letting people closely monitor the movements of Wu Sanxing, he was preparing to attack Mengmian City. After three days of planning, Liu Wei was ready to launch a tentative attack.

Mengmian City is a city, but in fact, it is a village built with a mixture of stone and wood. With such a small stockade, it is very difficult to hold on. Coupled with the Tusi in the city, seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately had the intention of surrendering to the Qing army again. He Jiuyi, who was in the city, not only had to guard against the Qing army outside the city, but also had to worry about the rebellion of the Tusi in the city at all times.

After Liu Wei was ready, he took a thousand people to the city. However, there are still some local natives in front of the Qing army, these are the Qing army captured in the past few days, and these natives have been driven to the city. While howling and begging the city not to shoot arrows, he ran quickly towards the city wall.

Seeing that the Qing army was attacking the city, He Jiuyi was about to order the soldiers defending the city to release arrows, but the Tusi who followed the city was unwilling, and kept asking He Jiuyi not to attack. How can He Jiuyi get the natives under the city close, the two were arguing in the city, and Liu Wei under the city saw this, and immediately felt that the opportunity had come. It was originally a tentative attack, but it was immediately changed by Liu Wei to attack the city with all his might.

Liu Wei shouted: "Hurry, attack the city immediately, the defenders of the city are afraid of the people under the city and dare not shoot arrows." This is our chance to storm the city. At the sound of Liu Wei's order, a large number of Qing troops surrounded the local people and rushed towards Mengmian City. At this time, He Jiuyi in the city saw that the toast was still entangled, and immediately asked the soldiers to take the toast into custody.

He Jiuyi looked at the toast, but there were also a lot of local people in the city, and these people were recruited by He Jiuyi to go to the city wall to be used by the people. Seeing that his toast was imprisoned, many natives suddenly wanted to resist and let the toast out. The move was to let some natives come to defend the city, but now not only does it not work, but affects the Ming army's defense of the city. Seeing that the Qing army was getting closer and closer, He Jiuyi had no choice but to force the natives in the city to start fighting back with a knife.

Without waiting for the defenders of the city to kill and wound many Qing soldiers, the Qing soldiers were already close to the city wall, and in desperation, they had to let everyone fight in close combat. Liu Wei didn't expect the siege to be so smooth, and he immediately devoted himself to the siege battle. But he didn't know that Wu San Province, which had been stationed in Xiaomengzhun, had now led a large army and was approaching the Qing army along the hillside.

Looking at the Qing army that had begun to climb the city, He Jiuyi couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to lead people to start hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army. For a time, at the city wall, the sound of killing shook the sky. The Qing army saw that it was easy to attack the city wall, and it was also a morale boost.

Just when Liu Wei asked the Qing army to press the siege, from the direction of Dahou Prefecture, there was a sudden shout of killing. At this time, the sentry of the Qing army ran to Liu Wei and said: "General, no, a Ming army suddenly came to the east, with about 2,000 people. The leader was Wu Zisheng, a general of the Ming army. ”

Liu Wei was shocked: "How could the Ming army run behind us. The deputy general next to him said: "It must be the Ming army we met in Jingdong Mansion, and they have been following us." Now he saw that we were attacking the city, so he attacked us from behind. ”

Liu Wei looked at the army that had been fully engaged in the siege, and suddenly felt bitter. Now the army can't be withdrawn, what can be done to block the Ming army attacking from behind. Just when Liu Wei was worried, Wu San Province, who was in the direction of Mengmeng, also went to the mountains to kill.

This time, the Qing army besieging the city was suddenly in chaos, and Wu Sanxing, who had not dared to move before, had actually run to the Qing army with the army. The Qing army, which was still storming the city wall just now, did not need Liu Wei's order at this time, and retreated and ran back.

He Jiuyi in the city looked at the banner of Wu Zisheng on one side, and the flag of Wu San Province on the other side. Seeing that the Qing army besieging the city had all begun to retreat. Immediately overjoyed. yelled: "Quick, open the city gate, we will kill to avenge Hu Shundu, Wu Zisheng and Wu Sanxing have come to rescue us." The morale of the Ming troops in the city was also high, and they all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and the city gate was opened in a few clicks.

The Ming troops in the city also rushed out of the city with shouts, echoing with the Wu Zisheng Department and the Wu Three Provincial Divisions who rushed to attack the Qing army on both sides. For a time, the Qing army was attacked on three sides, and the Qing army in the middle was like a headless fly, rushing left and right. But the terrain outside Mengmian City doomed the Qing army.

Outside the city of Mengmian, although there is a piece of flat land, but it is not very big, and Mengmian is backed by the South High Mountain, and four miles to the south is the Wulao Mountain. Therefore, the army can only move in the east and west directions, but now it is blocked by Wu Zisheng and Wu Sanxing's troops respectively, and there are 2,000 troops of He Jiuyi in the city in the middle.

The defeat of the Qing army was doomed, but the Qing army at this time was not willing to fail like this, and was still desperately resisting. Liu Wei also wanted to break through in the direction of Wu Zisheng, as long as he rushed out, he could return to Jingdong. In that case, Liu Wei still has a chance. But it took Wu Zisheng four days to go to Geng Ma's pacification division to go around to the back of the Qing army, how could Liu Wei easily break through!

What's more, He Jiuyi has been staring at Liu Wei to kill, and Liu Wei cruelly dealt with Hu Shundu at that time, and Liu Wei did not hide it. He Jiuyi had already told him about it, the purpose was to scare He Jiuyi and make him surrender by himself. As a result, he didn't expect that he was actually surrounded by the Ming army, and now He Jiuyi was staring at Liu Yan with excitement and chasing after him all the way.

He Jiuyi felt guilty about Hu Shun in his heart, and heard that Liu Wei trampled on Hu Shundu's corpse after his death. Now He Jiuyi only thinks about killing Liu Wei and avenging Hu Shundu.

After only less than half an hour of fighting, the Qing army could no longer form any combat effectiveness, and the entire army was scattered. The Ming army surrounded the Qing army and pursued the scattered Qing army. Seeing this, Liu Wei had no choice but to be chased and killed by He Jiuyi from behind. While panting, he ran, and said to He Jiuyi in his mouth: "I said He Jiuyi, why are you chasing me, I surrender, I won't fight." ”

He Jiuyi chased after him and said, "You inhumane brute, just with the things you did, you have no way to surrender." I must kill you today to avenge Hu Shundu. Liu Wei didn't dare to stop, and said as he ran: "It is inevitable that there will be casualties on the battlefield, and everyone depends on their abilities." At that time, I also recruited Hu Shundu, who knew that he was so stupid, he would rather die than surrender. ”

He Jiuyi said: "Do you think everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as you?" Liu Wei said: "What if you are greedy for life and afraid of death? You see I'm not alive and well, I said don't be serious, I said I surrendered, and you still want to chase me and kill. One of them chased and the other fled. After a while, the two rushed to Wu Zisheng's formation.

At this time, Liu Wei saw that he could not surrender to He Jiuyi, and most of the Qing army had been killed, and many Qing troops had already wanted to rush into the mountains. Liu Wei knew that if it dragged on, it would be difficult to say whether his life or death would be said. At this moment, another general suddenly blocked the way in front.

At this time, Liu Wei still dared to fight, and when he saw a general blocking the way, he immediately shouted: "I am Liu Wei, the general of the Qing Dynasty, I surrender, I surrender." "It was Wu Zisheng who stood in the way, and he heard that this person was a general of the Qing army, and he wanted to surrender. Immediately stopped, although there were also Qing troops defeated before, but no generals were willing to surrender. Even if they were caught by the Ming army, they would rather die for the Qing court than surrender to the Ming army.

Suddenly, seeing that a general was about to surrender, Wu Zisheng suddenly became interested and immediately ordered someone to take Liu Wei into custody. Wu Zisheng said: "Are you really willing to surrender?" Liu Wei hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I surrender, I am the chief soldier Liu Wei." Wu Zisheng was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I, Wu Zisheng, accept your surrender." ”

As soon as Wu Zisheng's words were finished, He Jiuyi rushed over and shouted, "I'll kill you dog thief." He Jiuyi raised his knife and slashed at Liu Yan with a force. Seeing that He Jiuyi was going to kill him, Liu Wei immediately shouted: "General Wu, I have surrendered, you can't kill prisoners, if you surrender, you will all be from the Ming Dynasty." ”

Wu Zisheng saw that He Jiuyi was going to kill someone, and immediately shouted: "General He, slow down." He has surrendered, and we will hand him over to the King of Jin, and we can't kill him now. Wu Zisheng shouted as he rushed over and hugged He Jiuyi. After Wu Zisheng's embrace, He Jiuyi's knife was also cut off, and it did not hit Liu Yan.

He Jiuyi still did not give up, and said to Wu Zisheng: "He hanged all my Ming soldiers alive on a tree, and cut off the heads of all the people who died in the battle to cast them in Jingguan, I can't spare him." Wu Zisheng also regretted it a little when he heard this, but since he had accepted the surrender, it would not be appropriate to kill Liu Wei now. Wu Zisheng had no choice but to let Liu Wei be escorted down first.
