At this moment, the Ming army was rushing in the direction of Si Chengtianfu in the Hindu, and Wu Junzhen, who was walking at the rear, said to Ma Wei, "Dare to ask Brother Ma, is it really not the world of my Song Empire now?" But the world of the Ming Empire? ”

Ma Wei nodded and replied pretending to be, "When I first woke up, I also heard Liukou say that it is now Daming, but I don't know that this is the period of Daming?" And Wu Junzhen continued to ask, "Brother Ma, how did my Song Empire perish?" ”

This topic makes Ma Wei a little embarrassed! After all, tell him the truth directly, but it's cruel! Ma Wei had no choice but to say euphemistically: "The Song Empire has not perished!" It's just that the two of us have now come to another era, which is equivalent to the future" and "one hear the word (future)?" It's even more incomprehensible to Wu Junzhen!

It's no wonder that he doesn't know what it means to cross over after all?

And Ma Wei took advantage of the slow walking of a Ming army in front of him, so he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "This brother, dare to ask what year is it now?" The Ming soldier glanced at him and replied, "You don't even know what year it is?" Have you been blinded by war? It is now the second day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen. ”

After learning the time, Ma Wei hurriedly scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry! I don't have a good memory! Ma Wei, who had just finished asking, guessed; Not good! Isn't the second day of the first month of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen the time when Li Thief fell into Chengtianfu?

At this time, Ma Wei began to get nervous, and he planned to find a way to meet the governor of Minghuguang and ask him to prepare for the flow of robbers.

At the same time, the soldiers of the invasion army on the side of Hongshan came to the back mountain, and the generals of the invasion army shouted on the halfway slope of the back mountain: "King Chuang, King Chuang, where are you?" Come out! We were attacked by the Ming army, King Chuang... "However, King Chuang, who drank a lot of wine last night, is still sleeping in the gentle country.

However, the accompanying guards of the intrusive army and Gao Guiying in the camp tent heard someone who seemed to be shouting? Gao Guiying, who couldn't bear it, hurriedly lifted the quilt, got up and changed her clothes and walked out of the camp tent, and asked the soldiers to see who was shouting?

A soldier of the intruding army followed the sound and met the vanguard general and the rest of the generals on the hillside, among them, the intruding army division: Niu Jinxing, and asked, "Where is the king of the intruder?" ”

The soldiers of the Chuang army led the way in front, and the generals came to the camp tent and knelt down to ask for King Chuang to send troops to fight the Ming army, so Gao Guiying entered the camp tent to wake up, and King Chuang, who was lying on his side in the bed, and asked him to lead the troops to the battle, King Chuang was woken up and yawned, and got up and sat on the head of the bed.

I saw the king in front of him: Li Zicheng, with an eye patch in his left eye, a trace of wrinkles appeared on his face with strong chest muscles, and he opened his mouth and scolded, "Damn Ming Army, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor!" Then he changed his clothes and put on his armor, went out, and called out for the battle.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Ming army have passed the Xianlingwei and came to the gate of Zhongxiang County, the capital of Chengtian Prefecture, Ming Chengtian Prefect: Li Weiwu, Ming Jingmen Zhizhou: Mo Qingxiang, Ming Zhongxiang Zhixian: Lin Pingtao, and other large and small officials came to the city gate to welcome the returning Ming army.

The governor of Minghuguang, who was riding a war horse in front, was warmly welcomed by all the officials, and the prefect of Ming Chengtian took the lead and said very politely: "The officials of the Chengtian Mansion are here to welcome the return of the governor." "But Governor Minghu Guang seems to be a little tired? He asked the officials to excuse themselves and then entered the city.

Later, the rest of the Ming generals and soldiers also returned to the camp to garrison, but as soon as Ma Wei wanted to find the governor of Minghuguang, he was taken by the general banner of the Ming Lingwei to meet with the Ming Yiyang Qianhu and came to a temporary command post in the city.

was stopped by the Ming army standing guard, and the soldiers asked, "What are you doing?" The Thousand Households have just returned to the city and are resting inside, so they must not be disturbed at will! ”

Obviously, Lingwei General Qi hurriedly explained, "Oh, I have something important to ask to see Lord Qianhu? Bother the two little brothers to report it. After speaking, he handed 10 copper plates to the Ming army standing guard, and the Ming army who got the copper plate saw that there was sweetness, so he hurriedly loaded the copper plate and went in to report the news, and saw that the Ming Yiyang Qianhu inside was lying on the table and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Seeing this, the soldier stepped forward and half-knelt down and reported, "Lord Qianhu, there are people outside asking to see you, do you want to summon you?" Ming Yiyang Qianhu thought that there was an important military situation and let them in, and the three of them immediately saluted Ming Yiyang Qianhu, and then obviously Lingwei General Qi came up and whispered the news.

After hearing the news, Ming Yiyang Qianhu stood up and whispered to the soldiers to go out, as if to pass the word? Sure enough, a person came up after a cup of tea, this person was wearing a red and blue costume, stepped forward and saluted, "The last will see the master of the thousand households, I don't know what is the matter with the thousand households looking for the last general?" ”

At this time, Ming Yiyang Qianhu asked Ming Hancheng Xiaoqi: Ou Zhiwei, to identify whether Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei belonged to the soldiers of Yiyang guarding the Qianhu Office, after all, Ming Hancheng Xiaoqi had been in charge of recruitment, so let him confirm the most accurate, but unexpectedly, Ming Hancheng Xiaoqi glanced at it and replied, "Lord Qiqi Qianhu, these two people are indeed soldiers of Qianhu." ”

Hearing this news, it was obvious that Lingwei Zongqi and Ming Yiyang Qianhu were relieved, but Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei were taken aback! The two thought to themselves; Will he admit his mistake?

In fact, Ming Hancheng Xiaoqi has been busy dealing with affairs recently, so he is not sure whether these two people are soldiers of Qianhusu? But in order not to offend the two generals, he had to admit it indiscriminately.

At this moment, a large number of Chuang troops gathered in the territory of Chengtianfu, hanging high (Chuang) word flag to the direction of the capital Zhongxiang County, with the heavy armor of the Chuang Army, the light cavalry of the Chuang Army, constantly changing the formation in front of it seems to be preparing for a sneak attack on the Ming Army, the commander of the Chuang King and the Chuang Army Ma Bu Army: Luo Rucai, the old Chuang Jun Hui: Ma Shouying, the Chuang Jun Ge Li Eye: He Yilong, the Chuang Army Zuo Jin Wang: He Jin, the Chuang Army Guotianxing: Zhang Tianlin, and other original 13 Chuang troops first besieged Shaoling County and Baoning County in the territory of Chengtianfu.

The army set up five bronze Franc machine meteor cannons 400 steps away, aimed at the city gates of these two places and opened artillery bombardment, after two rounds of artillery bombardment, the king of Shaoling County of the Ming Dynasty: Zhu Zaicheng, the king of Ming Baoning County: Zhu Shaoyuan, the two kings of the Ming Dynasty hurriedly evacuated the fiefdom, prepared a carriage and fled to Zhongxiang County.

However, when King Chuang saw that some soldiers and civilians had fled, he immediately sent the Chuang army Ge Li to lead the light cavalry to pursue and kill the Ming army, and the two feudal kings who fled were so frightened that they were shocked in the frame, and hurriedly ordered to remove the shelf, and rode on their war horses and hurried to the gate of Zhongxiang County.

Because he was too excited, the king of Shaoling of the Ming Dynasty fell off his horse at the gate of the city, and tripped the king of Baoding of the Ming Dynasty from his horse.

At this time, the Ming soldiers defending the city saw two vassal kings wearing black yarn good wing crowns and wearing red four-regiment dragon round collars (regular clothes), and the Ming soldiers immediately stepped forward to salute and helped the two county kings, and the Ming Shaoling county king grabbed the soldiers' hands and said, "Quick, take the widow to see the governor of Huguang." ”

The soldiers led the vassal king into the city in fear, and met Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, who knew that they were vassal kings as soon as they saw their clothes, so they pulled Wu Junzhen and saluted, "The little one meets the two highnesses." But the two vassal kings ignored him and went on, Mavi guessed; Could it be that His Highness is looking for the governor?

So Ma Wei asked Wu Junzhen to go with him, and Wu Junzhen was very strange and asked, "Brother Ma, why do we want to follow His Highness?" Ma Wei immediately explained, "We just escaped the inspection of the generals, if it weren't for their military busyness, we would have committed the crime of impersonating soldiers!" So we have to find the governor and say good things in front of him. ”

Wu Junzhen followed him in a daze, and when he came to the gate of the county office, Ma Wei and Wu Junzhen were stopped by the guards, but Wu Junzhen hurriedly took out 30 copper plates from his waist and handed them to the guards, and declared that he was the entourage of the two highnesses.

Only then was he allowed by the guards to enter the county hall, and saw the governor of Minghuguang, Ming Zhongxiang, and other officials inviting the two vassal kings to take their seats, Ma Wei saw this and walked forward directly and said, "Meet the adults, the little one has just gotten the news, and the army of Liukou is coming towards the capital Zhongxiang County!" Please also ask the governor to hurry up and set up defenses. ”

The king of Ming Shaoling and the king of Ming Baoding in the lobby opened their eyes and looked at Ma Wei and Wu Junzhen, and said to the governor of Minghuguang, "That's right, the widow is also about to talk about this, and please prepare for the governor early?" "Hearing the news of the invasion of the Liukou army, the governor of Minghuguang took a look at the nearby soldiers and horses.

said, "The army under the command of the official in the entire Hindu Garrison Division is only 2 thousand households, 1 guard, 2 prefectures and 5 counties, with a total of 80,000 horses, 20,000 cavalry, and 1,000 artillery battalions. Shang Ke escorted the two Highnesses from the back city to leave safely. ”

At this moment, Ma Weigen's own historical memory estimated in his heart that there were about 260,000 soldiers and horses...

Just when everyone was discussing how to deal with the battle, the army had already set up twenty-five artillery pieces under the city, and the old man of the army smiled back and ordered the artillery to bombard the city gate, (dong, dong, dong), a shell exploded on the tower of Zhongxiang County, and the Ming army defending the city hurriedly ran to the county to report the military situation.

As soon as the governor of Minghuguang in the county government heard that the liukou was coming so quickly, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to protect the two highnesses to go to the back city, and he went to the city gate to supervise the battle, while Ma Wei and Wu Junzhen were arranged to protect the vassal king.

But what Governor Minghuguang didn't expect was that as soon as he walked out of the county government and led 500 soldiers to the street, the city gate had already been breached, and a large number of intruders poured in instantly! The general soldier of Ming Chengtian on the city tower slashed the two invading soldiers to death, and then raised his bird gun to aim at the invading army Zuo Jin Wang who entered the city and prepared to shoot.

Unexpectedly, he was pierced through the armor from behind by the spearmen of the invading army and fell to the ground and died! Then the spearmen of the army and the saber players of the army fought in the streets with the Ming army under the governor of Minghu Guang, and the governor of Minghu Guang took the lead in the pawn (lancet) to hack to death one after another, this scene happened to be seen by the commander of the army and the horse infantry army, he pulled the bow on the horseback and shot three arrows over, and the arrow directly penetrated the neck of the governor of Minghu Guang and spit blood and slowly fell!
