Afterwards, Zhu Cihong led the army back to Tongkou to repair, leaving Yang Sichang and others aside.

On the second day, Chen Xinjia had some disputes with Gao Qiqian and others, and Chen Xinjia led the people of Xuanda Sanzhen to divide their troops.

It didn't take long for Zhu Cihong to know the content of their dispute, and it turned out that Yang Guozhu thought that Gao Qiqian and others were too embarrassed by the military exploits of the Tianwu Army by licking their faces, so he went to Chen Xinjia to ask for battle and led the troops to recapture Gaoyang City.

Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu have a very strong relationship, and they also asked to go to war, Chen Xinjia felt that the military heart was available, and he urgently needed military merit to save himself, so he asked Gao Qiqian and the generals of the Guanning Army to discuss sending troops together.

Gao Qiqian learned that there were 3,000 Tartar soldiers in Gaoyang City, and he didn't dare to take risks, so he politely refused Chen Xinjia, and several general soldiers of the Guanning Army were reluctant to fight, for fear of losing the soldiers.

The two sides chatted until the end, and Chen Xinjia had no choice but to lead the people of Xuanda Sanzhen to fight Gaoyang by himself.

On the second day when the Xuanda people went out, there was a good news, and the Gaoyang City was successfully recovered.

Zhu Cihong looked at the battle report and smiled, he got the news that the three thousand Qing troops who stayed in Gaoyang knew that after Duoduo died in battle, they had long lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw the Wanming army marching towards Gaoyang, they thought that the Tianwu army was coming, and hurriedly abandoned the city and fled, and Chen Xinjia regained Gaoyang without blood.

Zhu Cihong did not debunk it, and he ordered the army to enter Gaoyang City.

When Zhu Cihong arrived in Gaoyang, Chen Xinjia and the people of the three towns of Xuanda were already outside the city to greet them, and they all smiled and felt a little exposed.

Ma Ke, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were depressed, and unconsciously missed the credit of sending to the door.

Miyun General Tang Tong scolded and scolded: "The Xuan army just took shit luck!" ”

Ma Ke also hated and said: "Lao Bai, why don't you count the previous hexagram in advance?" The credit for this is gone! ”

Bai Guangen sighed: "The sky is unpredictable......"

........

On December 25, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the weather was sunny.

The battalions stationed outside the city suddenly heard the sound of drums beating in the city, and the drums were beating rapidly, and the generals did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly dressed up neatly and went to report to the middle of the march.

During the second drum, Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Hu Dawei, the chief soldier of Shanxi, were both dressed in neat armor, and the two arrived first, smiling and greeting each other.

Hu Dawei said: "Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a hurry to summon him? ”

Yang Guozhu shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm afraid there is something big." ”

At the time of the third drum movement, the generals in helmets and armor came one after another, led by Jiang Xiang, the general soldier of Datong, and the three general soldiers of the Guanning Army, followed by a large group of deputy generals, staff generals, and guerrilla generals.

Ma Ke and Bai Guangen have the best relationship, the two bowed their heads and said a few words, Ma Ke said: "Your Highness hurriedly summoned me and others, what is the matter, is there another war?" ”

Bai Guangen said: "Where did you come from so many wars, there are no Tartars in Beizhili." ”

Marco said: "Then you can do the math!" ”

Bai Guangen glanced at him and said, "Count your mother, will you know later?" Do you have to lose Lao Tzu's longevity? ”

When the two were arguing, Gao Qiqian passed by and said, "The three-way drum is almost over, go in quickly!" ”

The two of them were startled, hurriedly tidied up their armor, and sneaked into the line with Gao Qi.

Everyone knows the military rules of the crown prince, and when the drums beat the generals, the generals who have not yet arrived at the end of the three-way drum will be beheaded, no matter who they are.

On the platform, there is a huge iron case, on which there is a bucket of gold medals, arrows and other items, and on the screen behind the iron case, there is also a serious Shang Fang sword.

The sound of hundreds of generals saluting each other was endless, and everyone wore helmets and armor, and a bright red cloak hung behind them, talking and laughing.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.

The generals are busy standing in two rows, the barriers are clear, the general soldiers of each town are at the top, the Tianwu army is on the left, the Xuanda Shanxi and Miji Guanning are on the right, and they are ranked down according to the ranks of deputy generals, generals, guerrillas, etc.

The vast line was surrounded by Tianwu troops standing upright with guns, and some generals found that the atmosphere was calm, and no one dared to cough casually.

The sound of footsteps sounded, and under the escort of a large group of brave guards, Zhu Cihong had a serious face and walked slowly.

Yang Sichang also came in a hurry, standing at the top, and before he could take a breath, he heard three cannon shots in the middle of the line.

The generals couldn't help but shudder, it was not the roar of artillery on the battlefield, but three soul-chasing cannons!

What is the Soul Chaser Cannon for? The cannon before the killing!

The crown prince is going to kill? There was an air of murder in the line.

Zhu Cihong sat on the tiger skin handsome chair with his helmet and armor, and the guards of the Yongwei battalion lined up in eight figures, bowing down to Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong's face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "Those who escape from the battle will be killed!" ”

The generals in the standing column were silent, only the dragon flag fluttered in the whistling seal.

Zhu Cihong glanced at the generals of the Guanning Army, as if feeling the gaze of the crown prince, a guerrilla general in the Guanning Army broke out in a cold sweat, fell to his knees with a thud, and shouted: "Mother, I'm going to kill someone!" ”

A well-armored guard of the brave guard battalion rushed over, lifted the guerrilla general up, waved him in the face, and said, "Shut up!" Stand up and line up! ”

was slapped by a soldier, and the guerrilla general was angry, but when he saw that the soldier was the crown prince's personal guard, he had to swallow his anger.

Zhu Cihong stood up and walked in front of the generals under the command, followed closely by a team of wolf-like soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

Zhu Cihong walked up to a general of the Guan Ning Army, raised his hand and pointed, and the soldiers behind him rushed up, dragged the general aside, and directly cut off his head on the spot.

Zhu Cihong continued to walk, and the generals on both sides raised their hearts to their throats, especially the generals of the Guanning army, and began to tremble.

Zhu Cihong raised his hand again and pointed to a deputy general of Shanhaiguan, who immediately weakened his legs and stomach and collapsed to the ground.

Without any suspense, the lieutenant was dragged aside like a dead dog and beheaded.

All the generals were trembling, and none of them dared to make a sound.

Zhu Cihong walked all the way, and wherever he passed, whoever he pointed at would be dragged away and cut off his head, and on this trip, more than 20 generals had been beheaded.

The sky was gloomy, and the smell of blood permeated the entire line, Zhu Cihong's methods were ruthless enough, but the generals also noticed that he basically cut down the Guanning army, which was the first to flee in the Battle of Gaoyang that day.

This slashing and killing did not wronged anyone, no wonder the three chief soldiers of the Guan Ning Army were pale but did not dare to speak out, the most important thing is that the military order they made was still in the hands of the crown prince.

Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian frowned, the crown prince didn't have to share some military merits, but now he started killing people to settle accounts, which is really a bit excessive.
