Chapter 12: The Night Battle of Boryeong

The general originally had more than 20 guards, but after this fight, only 11 or 2 people were still standing by his side. He saw that Zhu Dashan was defeated and was protected by several soldiers from the Restoration Battalion, and felt that this was an opportunity, as long as he killed Zhu Dashan, he could organize the men and horses of the standard battalion, and then counterattack. I still have a chance to turn the tables, so I didn't run away at the moment, and turned around to kill Zhu Dashan.

The other soldiers of the Restoration Battalion saw that Zhu Dashan was injured and did not know the extent of the injury, but they still did not dare to let Zhu Dashan take the risk, so they wanted to pull Zhu Dashan behind. Zhu Dashan was willing to go, broke free from the pull of the guards, grabbed a steel fork on the ground and stabbed the general. Many of the weapons of the Fuming Battalion were captured in the southern counties, so many people did not have weapons, and this time they came to attack Baoning, and the Fuming Battalion brought the water and fire sticks and steel forks of the county government.

At this time, other soldiers of the Restoration Battalion attacked, and the general's guards fought with the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion. Zhu Dashan saw that the general was attacking alone, and he held a steel fork to meet the battle. Other soldiers of the Restoration Battalion who were guarding in front of Zhu Dashan also joined the battle group one after another, and two of the soldiers of the Restoration Battalion were holding steel forks. The two of them and Zhu Dashan took turns pushing the general with steel forks, and other soldiers with knives cooperated on the side, and for a while, the general couldn't cope and retreated again and again. I don't want to have a corpse on the ground behind him, it is the headless corpse that he had cut off his head before.

The general tripped over the corpse and couldn't stand, and was pushed by Zhu Dashan again, and fell to the ground on the spot. The other two soldiers with steel forks hurriedly stepped forward to hold him down, and the soldiers with knives directly put the knives on his neck. It took a few people to capture the general. Then Zhu Dashan directly untied his belt and tied him up. There are still seven guards left with him, but seeing that the general was captured alive, the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion kept shouting: "Surrender and don't kill." "Hurriedly threw down his weapons and surrendered.

Besides, after Lin Zhuang led people into the city, he attacked the governor's yamen, and the governor's yamen was close to the north gate, and from the south gate to the governor's yamen, he had to pass through most of Baoning City. Fortunately, it was late at night, and there was no one on the whole street, and I was hurrying all the way to the governor's yamen, only to see a Qing general with a team of men and horses to kill him. But it was Shen Shijie, the captain of the personal army of Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan, who was supposed to follow Gao Minzhan when he went to the city gate. But Gao Minzhan said that it was Qincha, and it was said that he was injured, so he asked Shen Shijie to take someone to clean up the room and go to meet him, Gao Minzhan only took two guards casually and hurried to the city gate. As a result, as soon as Shen Shijie cleaned up the room, he heard the sound of killing at the city gate, and after a while, someone shouted that the Ming army had entered the city. One will be fifty thousand, and the other will be one hundred thousand.

Shen Shijie's heart was in turmoil, he was Gao Minzhan's personal captain, if Gao Minzhan had an accident, his future would be over, so he hurriedly called the guards who were still cleaning up the room, and went to the city gate with the officials of the governor's yamen. As a result, as soon as I got out of the yamen, I saw a team of people rushing over from the opposite side. The sound of killing was constantly shouted, and when he saw Shen Shijie and the others, he shouted surrender and killed Shen Shijie and the others. Shen Shijie didn't remember to save Governor Gao Minzhan, so he turned around and ran to the governor's yamen with people.

When Shen Shijie ran into the governor's yamen, he hurriedly shouted: "Close the door, close the door quickly, go get wood to resist." The entire governor's yamen suddenly made a lot of noise, the front was fierce, and the backyard was Gao Minzhan's family members who heard the commotion in the front yard and hurriedly sent someone over to inquire. At this time, no one paid attention, but the maid who came to inquire heard someone shouting outside the door: "Listen to the people inside, hurry up and open the door and surrender, otherwise the governor's yamen will not be left."

When the maid heard that she wanted to leave no one behind, she ran into the backyard with a scream, and shouted all the way: "The thief is in, the thief is in." Suddenly, the whole backyard was in chaos.

Lin Zhuang saw that the gate of the governor's yamen was closed, but the front of the prefect's yamen next to it was in a mess, so he hurriedly divided a team of people to occupy the prefect's yamen, and stayed to attack the governor's yamen. When a soldier found a ladder from a nearby house, he asked people to climb the wall to enter. After a while, I heard the exclamation from inside, "They have come in through the wall, kill them." Then he shouted, "Run, it's too late, and many people are coming in." Lin Zhuang heard that these people were busy asking people to find a pillar to knock on the door, and the people who went couldn't find it for a while.

The people standing outside the door slammed the door with their shoulders but did not use it, and two fools saw the two stone lions in front of the yamen and ran to lift them up and smash the door. After lifting it for a long time, I didn't see the stone lion move, and after being beaten by Lin Zhuang, his feet were bigger. I ran to the side, but I tripped over something and fell and the dog ate.

Lin Zhuang saw that there were not many people climbing the wall for a while, and the door could not be opened, so he was anxious to burn his eyebrows. Someone else shouted, "Get out of the way, this is another piece of wood coming to bang on the door." "But the man who went to look for the pillar just now didn't find it. I don't know where to find an abandoned beam, so everyone worked together, and within a few clicks the door of the governor's yamen was knocked open, and everyone rushed in. Shen Shijie also didn't care about Gao Minzhan's family in the backyard, threw the knife and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender." When the others saw Shen Shijie surrendering, they also shouted for surrender. But the more than ten people who climbed the wall just now died, and seven or eight died. Everyone was red-eyed, and they killed a few more people regardless of the shouting before they were stopped by Lin Zhuang.

Lin Zhuang hurriedly led people into the backyard, and the screams of the ladies were all the way, and soon the people in the backyard were also driven out of the room and stood in a pile in the yard. Lin Zhuang saw that he had already controlled the governor's yamen, and left people to watch the gate, so that the people inside were not allowed to run around, and led people to the prefect's yamen. As soon as I arrived at the door of the prefect's yamen, I saw the small flag Dong Gang that I had just sent over, and walked out with two literati, it turned out that there were only a few officials in the prefect's yamen, and when they saw Lin Zhuang and they called, they didn't even close the door, and Dong Gang rushed into the yamen, and the prefect Wu Yiding and the Sichuan political envoy Wu Hongrong, who hid in the prefect's yamen, saw Dong Gang kill in, and surrendered directly.

Lin Zhuang saw that the prefect's yamen had been occupied, and he wanted to take people to help Cheng Deyi, after all, the people he brought were all people's strong, and his combat effectiveness was probably not as good as that of the yamen. When Lin Zhuang led people to turn the street, he saw a group of people besieging the treasury under the leadership of a small flag officer, and Lin Zhuang came closer to see that it was Cheng Deyi's bodyguard Lu Xingwei.

Originally, the Kuding of the treasury saw that there was a great chaos in the city, and there were shouts everywhere that the Ming army had entered the city, and these Kuding, who were guarding the treasury, decided that as long as the city could not be defended, they would each bring some property home and hide. But before a few people could open the storeroom, they saw a group of people shouting and rushing over, and these people were now taking the storehouse's property as their own personal belongings, and they resisted desperately. Originally, Cheng Deyi only brought ten of his own guards, and divided five to Lu Xingwei, but now the Kuding are resisting desperately. The people Lu Xingwei brought were all Minzhuang, so he couldn't attack it for a while, and now Lin Zhuang brought a bunch of people. Lu Xingwei hurriedly transferred Minzhuang away, and then Lin Zhuang led people to attack the treasury with Lu Xingwei.

When the Kudins saw the reinforcements coming from the Restoration Battalion, they were immediately a little timid. And the people brought by Lin Zhuang were the people who had just fought in the governor's yamen, and the Kuding people surrendered one after another when they saw that the people were fierce. Lu Xingwei took advantage of the situation to occupy the warehouse. Lin Zhuang originally wanted to bring someone to help others, but he saw Cheng Deyi outside with someone coming in. As soon as Lin Zhuang inquired, he learned that the grain depot had been brought down by Cheng Deyi, and he was afraid that he would not bring people over to help. The two were talking when they suddenly heard a loud cry outside. Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi hurriedly took people out to take a look, but it was a group of defeated soldiers robbing the people, so the two hurriedly led people to suppress it. When the defeated soldiers were killed, they saw Hu Jijiang on the opposite side and his people being chased and fled by a group of Qing soldiers.

It turned out that after Hu Jijiang led people into the city, he asked four or five heavy soldiers to open the fire. Hu Jijiang himself also led a group of people to the west of the city, and Hu Jijiang lit five fires along the way, and the city suddenly became chaotic. Just as Hu Jijiang was about to continue, a group of Qing soldiers rushed over from the opposite side and saw Hu Jijiang leading people to set fire, and they didn't answer and shouted and killed. Hu Jijiang was a person who was afraid of death, and when he saw the Qing soldiers on the opposite side holding a bright knife, he dared to step forward, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and ran. Hu Jijiang led all the baggage soldiers, and they didn't have much courage to fight, and most of them couldn't ride horses. Many people tied themselves to their horses, and now when they saw the officials running, they turned around and followed Hu Jijiang to run.

A few people made mistakes and fell off their horses, and were instantly hacked to death by the Qing soldiers who rushed over. Hu Jijiang led people not to argue about things, and ran when he saw the road. actually ran to the treasury, and saw Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi in front of him hurriedly shouting: "Save me, help, help" The desolation of the voice actually covered the shouting of the Qing soldiers behind.

Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi didn't have time to laugh at Hu Jijiang, and after seeing that he was really embarrassed and let him go, they led people to intercept the Qing soldiers behind. That group of Qing saw another group of Ming troops, thinking that they were as vulnerable as the people led by Hu Jijiang, and they killed them directly regardless of the number of people. Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi didn't say much when they saw this, and directly led people to kill them. For a while, blood and flesh flew on the street, and screams were repeated. As soon as a Qing soldier slashed a Ming army, he was stabbed over by the Ming army next to him.

The general who led the team saw that this group of Ming troops was fierce and there were not many people he led, so he hurriedly shouted "retreat" and ran away. When Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi turned around and found Hu Jijiang again, they didn't dare to let him take people to attack anything, and when the two saw that the shouting and killing in the city had become much quieter, they asked him to take people to guard the treasury, and he led people to chase and kill the rebels in the city and the Qing soldiers who were scattered.

Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi are now the closest to the West Gate, and the two of them went to the West Gate as soon as they discussed, and when the two arrived at the West Gate, they found that no one was fighting at the West Gate, and they saw Gou Xingwang and Cheng Dequn commanding the defense. Seeing this, Lin Zhuang and Cheng Deyi were about to turn to the north gate, and when they saw Liu Yingnan outside the city, they rode into the city with two Minzhuang, and everyone didn't know that he had captured the fort so quickly. Gou Xingwang and Cheng Dequn also met Lin Zhuang and others. Everyone felt that it must be difficult for Zhu Dashan to attack the standard camp of 2,000 people with 300 people, so they asked Cheng Deyi to take 20 people to support the north gate, and Cheng Dequn to take 20 people to defend the west gate. Then Gou Xingwang and the three of them took the remaining more than 100 people to the military camp to support Zhu Dashan.

Gou Xingwang and the other three led the army all the way, and when they almost crossed the entire Boryeong Mansion to the barracks, they saw that the prisoners squatting on the ground in the barracks were densely packed, and now there were only about a hundred people guarding them. Gou Xingwang and the three found Luo Daniu, who was guarding the captive, and as soon as Luo Daniu saw the three of them speak, he wanted to soldier: "How many of you still have them, quickly send me some people, if this captive moves slightly, all the hundred or so people in my hands will die." Although the three of them also wanted to add people to Luo Daniu, they looked at the hundreds of people behind them, and they were all embarrassed.

In the end, it was Liu Yingnan who came forward and recruited 150 people from among the captives, and divided them on both sides, leaving 50 people for Luo Daniu, and leaving 50 people from the people he brought to make up 200 to make up a little better. Gou Xingwang and the others heard that Zhu Dashan was chasing and killing the rout in front, and just now Zhou Dazhu and Lin Kejia had already led people to support Zhu Dashan, and the three of them didn't stay much, so they hurriedly led people to the killing place.

The three of them rushed to the killing place and saw Zhu Dashan with hundreds of people surrounding a group of Qing soldiers to fight but couldn't kill them for a while, and Zhu Dashan was protected by five or six guards in the middle, and the three of them came to Zhu Dashan's side and saw that Zhu Dashan's armor was already tattered, and they were shocked when they saw that Zhu Dashan was injured. Zhu Dashan saw that the three of them were also brought, and brought nearly 200 people to let everyone take down this team of Qing soldiers together. Just when everyone shouted for people to come forward, Liu Yingnan shouted: "Slow", everyone looked at Liu Yingnan strangely, but saw Liu Yingnan walking forward and shouting: "Little Hou Ye, you are Xiao Hou Ye".

At this time, everyone present stopped, only to see the general of the group of Qing soldiers look up at Liu Yingnan and say: "General Liu, why are you with the thieves, did you surrender to the thieves?" Liu Yingnan said: "Little Marquis, do you really want to be a slave of the Tartars for the rest of your life?" I'm going back to Daming anyway, I don't want to be a slave and a dog! The little marquis said with a gloomy expression: "I have already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and betrayed the Ming Dynasty once, do you want me to betray the Qing Dynasty again?" If so, what face will I have to survive in the world? ”

Zhu Dashan heard the conversation between the two and knew that the two knew each other, and the person opposite seemed to be a person with a title. Hurriedly said: "If General Lingyun can turn against the Qing Dynasty and return to the Ming Dynasty is the road of justice, how can it be said that he has lost face." If the general has been serving the Tartars, he will help the Tartar and act for the tiger. In the future, the general will not only have no face to meet the ancestors underground, but I am afraid that he will be infamous for all generations. Liu Yingnan also said: "Little Marquis, General Zhu is right. Think about Hou Ye's life of resisting the Qing Dynasty, but he has the slightest heart for the Ming Dynasty? Liu Yingnan didn't say that it was okay, how could he say that Ling Yun said angrily: "My father has resisted the Qing Dynasty all his life, what can he get?" Traitors and thieves only know how to fight for power and profit, and kill their colleagues. Let me return to such a court and never think. ”

Zhu Dashan knew that it was no fun when he heard Ling Yun say this, but when he saw Ling Yun, he said again: "This General Zhu, you are right, I can't help the abuse anymore." After speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed him his neck, and suddenly blood gushed out, and Ling Yun also fell straight with his eyes round. Zhu Dashan really didn't expect this Ling Yun to commit suicide, Liu Yingnan screamed sadly: "Little Hou Ye" pounced on Ling Yun, regardless of the Qing soldiers or the Ming army around him.
