Zhu Dashan looked at the terrain and decided to go to an ambush in Huaishuwan, which was originally better in Liubianyi, but it was too far from the south. It is one hundred and twenty miles away from the county seat, and when Zhu Dashan rushes to it, I am afraid that Zhao Youyan and other troops have already passed the Liubian Station, so I have to retreat to the second best place and choose the terrain that is not too good than Huaishuwan. Although the terrain of Huaishuwan is a little poor, fortunately, the trees are lush and just hidden, and it is just a small ravine, which will not make Zhao Youyan and the others wary. The north is a flat land, the east is the small pupil water also known as the West River, and the south is between the two mountains of Qiu Shi Tsui and Huai Shu Wan, which is the best place except for Liubianyi.

After Deng Shigan gathered the army and returned with Wang Qing, Jia Si and others, Zhu Dashan had already formulated a battle plan, and immediately asked everyone to take the army to Huaishuwan in the west overnight. Zhu Dashan asked Wang Qing to take the soldiers who had retreated from Yanting to stop Zhao Youyan and the others, delaying their march. Second, it also made Zhao Youyan and others relax their vigilance, mistakenly thinking that only the defeated army of Yanting was not enough to worry about.

Zhu Dashan and the others set off in the afternoon and arrived at Huaishuwan that night, because Zhu Dashan had previously required the soldiers to bring one day's dry food for each march, and the rapid march was three days of dry food, so Zhu Dashan and the others asked the soldiers to eat dry food quickly after arriving at Huaishuwan.

Wang Qing had already sent someone to inform Zhao Youyan and the others that they had rested for a day in Yanting, and they were anxious to go to the south to loot their property, and they wanted to behave in front of the governor, so they hurried overnight. At present, the front team of the Qing army is only ten miles away from Huaishuwan, and Zhu Dashan saw this and asked Deng Shigan to take a detour from behind Huaishuwan to Liaojiawan and surround it from behind the Qing army. Let Jia Si lay an ambush on the side of Qiushizui to block the Qing army's advance. Zhu Dashan himself took the rest of the people to ambush on the left side of Huaishuwan, and the right side of the empty space allowed the Qing army to escape, but if the Qing army really fled to the right, they would find that there was a big river blocking the way.

As soon as Zhu Dashan and the others hid, they saw Wang Qing and his people retreating in a hurry to the south, and weapons and flags were thrown everywhere along the way. Less than a quarter of an hour after Wang Qing passed, the Qing army chased after him with a boiling voice, looking at Wang Qing who did not stop, and Hu Jing, the general of Tongchuan who was chasing in front, only cared about shouting loudly for the army to move forward. This Hu Jing didn't grab anything in Tongchuan, and was thinking about going to the south to grab it, where he expected someone to ambush on both sides.

Zhu Dashan wanted to fight the Qing army coming from the direction of Chengdu, so he had to let Hu Jing chase after him with 2,000 people, and after a while, Zhao Youyan, Yang Youcai and others in the back also led troops to Huaishuwan. Zhu Dashan, who was hiding in ambush on the side of the road, now has only 2,500 soldiers and horses in his hands, and looking at the vast ranks of the Qing army, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of people.

Looking at the Qing army contingent that was constantly passing in front of him, Xie Shun, who was ambushed on the side, asked his chief banner Yao Zizhou: "Lord General Banner, there are so many Qing troops, can we fight it?" Yao Zizhou licked his lips, looked at this Minzhuang who was incorporated into the army when he was defending the city in Xichong, and said: "What are you afraid of, these generals have to consider, we just listen to the order to kill the Qing soldiers." Saying that, in fact, Yao Zizhou didn't know the bottom of his heart. Xie Shun said: "General Banner, if you look at the Qing soldiers so much, I'm afraid there are several times more than us." I don't know why I'm fighting, isn't it okay for everyone to live a good life?. ”

At this time, Zhu Dashan happened to check the soldiers' equipment and boost the morale of the soldiers. When Zhu Dashan heard Xie Shun's words, he saw that the other soldiers next to him, including some low-level officers, were also confused, so he said, "I'll tell you why." Yao Zi saw that it was Zhu Dashan on Monday and said busily: "Master Hou, why are you here." Zhu Dashan asked Yao Zizhou to lie down, and he also lay on the side and said: "It's not that we want to fight, you think about how many people we died after the Qing soldiers came to Sichuan." In the past, it was said that it was a change of dynasty, but the big deal was to change the emperor and change the official, we live the same life on the land, right? Xie Shun nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, we all think so, but what does this have to do with our fighting of the Qing Army?" Zhu Dashan said: "After the Qing soldiers come, can you still live in peace?" When did the Qing soldiers not shed a river of blood killed by our Han people, we hid today, and what about tomorrow? ”

Xie Shun said: "Isn't this a rebellion against the Ming,,, oh no, is it because our Ming army is still fighting the Qing Army?" Zhu Dashan looked around and found that many soldiers were looking at him like this. They didn't think that it was wrong for the Qing soldiers to kill people, but thought that it was because the Ming army was in chaos, and the Qing soldiers were slaughtered only in order to quell the rebellion. In fact, this is the illusion created by many officials who have reduced their clearance in order to give themselves a legitimate reason for their demotion of liquidation.

Zhu Dashan said: "If you think so, you are wrong. Do you think that as long as you farm in peace, you will be safe? I used to think the same way, and I traveled thousands of miles from Huguang to Sichuan to open up wasteland and farm, but what was waiting for us? It's deception, it's expropriation, it's massacre. At this time, there was a general flag next to him who also said: "Hou Ye is right, originally we were all settled in the south, and the land was also opened, and it seemed that there was still half a month to collect the dealer, but the Qing court took our land, robbed us of our grain, and let us go to Mianzhou as cannon fodder to die." ”

A local boy from Xichong next to him was only eighteen years old, and whispered: "That's your business, we locals don't have it, why do we also have to fight the Qing soldiers?" Seeing this guy saying these distracting words, the general flag next to him stretched out his hand to hit him. Zhu Dashan hurriedly stopped: "Yes, your locals have not been taken to the fields, have not been robbed of grain, and have not been sent to death. But think about it, are there still fewer people killed by the Qing soldiers in your county? How many people did you have in Xichong County before the Qing soldiers came? Is your relative uncle still around? Is your family still complete? Who killed these? You don't want to take revenge? ”

In the face of Zhu Dashan's questioning, the young man didn't speak, but he didn't think that what Zhu Dashan said was reasonable, because revenge in his heart was not good for living. Seeing this, Zhu Dashan said again: "I know that you are very embarrassed, thinking that I am just lying to you, so that you can go and kill the Qing soldiers desperately." Then I'm asking you now, do you know why those old people asked us to take their children away when we were in Nanchong? ”

The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know. Zhu Dashan said: "Because the Qing soldiers will slaughter the city when they come back, only if we take their children away, their children can live." Then Zhu Dashan saw that he still didn't agree with what he said, and at this time, most of the Qing soldiers had already entered Huaishuwan. Then he said: "I don't care what you think now, you must pick up a knife and shoot the Qing soldiers now, but I promise you, as long as this battle is over and you are still alive, I will let you go home, let you go to farming and live the life you want." ”

The young man was overjoyed and asked, "What Master Hou said is true." Zhu Dashan said: "Seriously" and then said to the others: "You are the same, as long as you are still alive after this war, and those who want to go home will let you go back." But you have to hit me hard today. ”

Those who wanted to go home heard Zhu Dashan say this, and they all came up with enthusiasm and said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, we will definitely fight this battle." When some officers saw Zhu Dashan say this, they all came to persuade Zhu Dashan, but Zhu Dashan stopped them when he saw this, and then said: "Everyone pay attention, all the Qing soldiers have entered the ambush." As he spoke, he gave the order to attack.

For a while, the entire Huaishuwan drum and trumpet sounded in unison, and the sound of killing in the woods next to the official road shook the sky. The soldiers who originally wanted to be lazy also fought desperately under Zhu Dashan's promise that he could go home. The Qing army on the road was only in a hurry, and they also wanted to go to the south to grab silver. There was a sneak attack by the Ming army, and the Ming army was defeated at the first touch.

Zhao Youyan, Yang Youcai, and Cao Changzuo, who were in the ranks of the Qing army, shouted for the Qing army to form a formation to defend, but these Qing troops were all gathered from all over the country, and they found that the Ming army was attacking and protecting the silver and property they had robbed before. The shouts of the officers were also heard there. The soldiers of the Restoration Battalion rushed up and cut down, and the Qing soldiers had no power to resist, and hundreds of people were cut down to the ground in an instant.

Just when Zhao Youyan and the others were panicked and wanted to organize a formation, they only heard a cannon fire in the place of Qiushizui in front, and many Ming troops also killed from the side of the road, and Hu Jing, who was chasing Wang Qing in front, ran back in fright, and ran away without even seeing if there was anyone in front. When Wang Qing and Jia Si rushed back to the official road, there was still the shadow of Hu Jing there, and the two had to lead the army to the Chinese army.

Walking in the Chinese army are Yan Ziming and Yan Xici, when the Fuming battalion came out of the roadside, the two knew that they had been ambushed, and seeing that the army was going to be chaotic, they directly drew their knives and cut them, shouting: "Quickly line up, anyone who dares to run around will be killed." Under the high-pressure intimidation of the two, the Qing army in front of them quickly settled down, and at this time the Fuming battalion also rushed up, although the Qing soldiers were still a little chaotic, but they could also block the rush of the Fuming battalion.

Just when the two of them saw that they had stabilized their positions, Hu Jing in front of them took the Qing army that had escaped, and went straight to Yan Ziming's military formation, Yan Ziming knew that if Hu Jing was allowed to rush like this, the formation on his side would have to be chaotic, so he hurriedly shouted: "Go to the side, don't come over." ”

This Hu Jing also shouted for help while running, and saw that Yan Ziming and the two were blocking the Ming army, just like a person who had fallen into the water found a straw, and he had to desperately hold on to it, and he just saw Yan Ziming waving his hand and shouting. As a result, the sound of fighting on the battlefield continued, and Hu Jing only heard the word "come over", thinking: "These two surnamed Yan are really righteous, and they have to repay them well in the future", and he did not hesitate at the moment, and rushed directly into the military formation of Yan Ziming and the two with the defeated Qing soldiers.

Yan Ziming's army formation that was finally organized was instantly dispersed by Hu Jing and his people, and the soldiers of the Fuming battalion behind attacked again, and the Qing army in the formation also went to the rear army to rout, and for a time the Qing army turned on their backs and trampled on many people. Hu Jing rushed to Yan Ziming and said: "Two Yan brothers, my surname is Hu, thank you for saving your life, if you can go back alive this time, I will definitely thank you both." Mom, it's here again, run. Yan Ziming looked at Hu Jing, who was constantly thanking him, and couldn't wait to get it and cut him directly, but at this time, the Fuming battalion rushed over again, and he could still form a formation to block it just now, and now the soldiers have run away, what should they do? had no choice but to follow Hu Jing's ass and run to the rear army.

As a result, Hu Jing and the others didn't run a few steps before they ran into Zhao Youyan and the other three who ran from the rear army, and as soon as they saw Yang Youcai, they asked, "How is the front?" The rear army was defeated by the Ming army in ambush on the side of the road. Run forward," Yan Ziming grabbed Yang Youcai and said, "How many people are in the rear army?" Why don't you hold on. ”

At this time, Zhao Youyan next to him was not afraid of Yan Ziming and said: "Then why don't you hold the Chinese army, you will also be defeated." Yan Ziming didn't want to fight with Zhao Youyan for this now, and said: "If you don't hold the rear army, we will be given dumplings by the Ming army, and we won't be able to retreat when the time comes." Yang Youcai patted his head and said: "Oh, we should retreat to Yanting, what does it mean to run to the Chinese army?" ”

Zhao Youyan and Cao Changzuo also became annoyed together, Yan Ziming and Yan Xici suddenly had a kind of how could I have colleagues like pigs, how much water did I have in my head to lead the troops with these people. But now is not the time to regret it, Yan Ziming roared: "Do you know that you still want to organize the army to retreat in the direction of Yanting? ”

Zhao Youyan and the others hurriedly shouted and retreated to the salt pavilion, but at this moment, there was also a shout of killing in the direction of the salt pavilion, and it didn't take long for a soldier to escape, and a few people hurriedly stopped and asked what the situation was, it was a soldier who said: "Run forward, there is a Ming army behind you." ”

Hearing this, several people suddenly turned to ashes, and they couldn't help but think, can they still run out? Yan Ziming said: "Quickly form a formation, as long as we can form a formation, we can rush out." Zhao Youyan and the others didn't dare to run around anymore at this time, and hurriedly organized the clearing of troops to form a formation.

Zhu Dashan saw that the Qing army was completely chaotic, and in order to reduce the sacrifice of the soldiers of the Fuming battalion, he ordered to shout "Surrender and don't kill." For a time, the Ming army shouted "surrender and don't kill" everywhere. The Qing army saw that they couldn't run, and they were surrounded by the Ming army on three sides, and there was no Ming army on the other side, but the people who ran over came back and said that it was a river that could not be crossed. At this time, I heard the Ming army shouting "surrender or kill". So they all threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Yan Ziming and others, who were organizing the formation of the Qing army, knew that the matter was going to happen when they heard the Ming army shouting to surrender and not kill, and sure enough, the Qing soldiers who had already begun to form the formation also threw their weapons and surrendered. Several people had just surrendered to the Qing army, and slaughtered Mianzhou, Zhongjiang and Tongchuan, where they dared to surrender to Zhu Dashan. Seeing that he couldn't do anything, he ran in the direction of Xiaotong River with his own soldiers, but at this time, the other Qing soldiers all knelt down and surrendered, and a few who were unwilling to surrender were also hacked to death by the soldiers of the Fuming Battalion. After a while, several people were all escorted back.

Zhu Dashan saw a few people escorting over, but he didn't step forward to speak. Zhao Youyan and the others directly knelt on the ground and cried, saying: "Master Hou, we surrender, we didn't wait for the surrender, it was Yan Ziming and Yan Xici who forced us to surrender." ”

Hu Jing cried even more earth-shattering, and said: "Master Hou, I was wrong, I was blinded by lard, so I let these bastards deceive, the slaughter of the city was the idea of Yan Ziming and Yan Xici, it was Zhao Youyan and them who did it, I didn't do it." I completely forgot what I had to thank Yan Ziming and Yan Xici just now, and I tried my best to clear myself of responsibility.
