This Tartar general was about forty years old, named Niu Colu Turg, a man with a white flag, experienced in warfare, and had been fighting on the battlefield since the time of the wild boar. However, when Chongzhen defended Luanzhou for three years, he was defeated and escaped from the customs with Aixin Jueluo Amin, and was dismissed.

But the Manchu Qing Dynasty was only a little person, and he was also a capable person, so he re-activated, entered the customs and plundered many times, and is currently the temporary position of Gushan Ezhen with a white flag, and he can be regarded as one of the most senior leaders in the Tartars.

Dolgon also knew him, and felt that he had a lot of experience in warfare, and his qualifications were here, so he was in charge.

Of course, if it were possible, Dolgon would like to take off Lu Xiangsheng's head with his own hands, so that he can rest assured. However, the reinforcements of the Ming Kingdom were approaching, and the scale was really beyond his expectations. He understood that this must have something to do with the gold medal of the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom.

For this reason, Dolgon decided to defeat the support army first, at least to repel it, and strangle the Ming army's fighting spirit in the cradle, only in this way can it be convenient for him to plunder and achieve the purpose of entering the customs this time.

In this regard, he is still confident, because he has the news, and he also knows the commander of the Ming State reinforcements, that eunuch Gao Qiqian, and he is also a member of the Ming State Peace Faction, so he is not a person who really knows the army at all, and he is not a qualified commander!

Thinking about it, it was also embarrassing for the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, the country was in chaos, and all the Ming troops who could fight were sent to exterminate the thieves. In this way, when the Qing army entered the customs, it encountered weak chickens, and it was very easy to defeat the Ming army.

After tossing the Ming State several times, there were fewer and fewer Ming troops who could fight. Otherwise, Ming Guo would be so face-saving, and he would not have thought of negotiating peace with the Qing Dynasty.

As he was thinking, Turge had already sworn and replied: "Master rest assured, the slave will definitely take this Zhuangzi before it gets dark and dedicate Lu Xiangsheng's head to the master!" ”

He didn't believe that for a whole day, he wouldn't be able to take a mere Zhuangzi from the Ming Kingdom. You must know that he has entered the customs many times, and he has conquered I don't know how many Ming cities. Not to mention far away, just this time to enter the customs, isn't it also a siege and land, invincible! What's more, Lu Xiangsheng's army has been fighting hungry for so long, and it is already exhausted, and if it can't take this Zhuangzi for a whole day, it will really be in vain!

Thinking so, after sending Dorgon away, he was ready to start attacking this Zhuangzi.

However, before he could give the order, he noticed a new movement in the distance from Zhuangzi, which made him sink his face.

I saw that the Ming people in the Zhuangzi were pouring hot water on the wall and outside the wall. The steaming hot water, after splashing out, was filled with mist, and in the blink of an eye, the wall and the ground outside were reflected brightly, obviously frozen! Not only that, judging from the fog coming out of the Zhuangzi, it seems that the Zhuangzi has been doing this all the time, and there is no intention of stopping. Obviously, Shori tried to use ice to fortify and thicken the defenses.

Turg didn't even have to guess, he immediately knew that this must be Lu Xiangsheng's idea. Otherwise, there would not have been such a movement after Lu Xiang ascended to Zhuangzi.

"Ming dog Lu Xiangsheng, hum, it's just a dying struggle!" Turg snorted heavily, and ordered the infantry to begin preparing to attack Zhuangzi.

The first wave of soldiers sent out those who came with the army, that is, the coats of each family. All of them were young men who had swept away from the border before, but now they are no different from Tartars except for their thin clothes.

Turg rode in front of the battle, looked at them and shouted: "As soon as you fight, you will be carried the flag, whoever presents the head of Lu Xiangsheng, this time when you go back, you will be able to get a coat and share the field, if you are cowardly and do not fight, you will not be spared." ”

"Wow!" These coatings, in unison, respond loudly. I have to say that this reward is still very attractive to them.

In fact, the reason why the Ming army, which had been defeated repeatedly, turned its head to deal with the Ming Dynasty after surrendering to the Manchus, was fierce and ferocious, and those young men who were plundered were easily digested by the Manchus, because the Manchus' rewards and punishments stimulated them very much.

Think about it, on the one hand, the military salary can't be paid, and it has to be to the point of selling sons and daughters, even if you make military achievements, don't say whether there is a reward or not, even if there is, you will be deducted by the officials layer by layer; On the other hand, they can climb up from slaves, become slave owners, and get land. The gap between this comparison is too big, and the performance is naturally different, as for the national righteousness and patriotic spirit? Can I eat it?

Turg didn't stop there, he turned around and brought in another group of elite Manchurians, mixed in with the remnants, and then ordered an attack on Zhuangzi.

"Boom, boom, boom" The three artillery pieces brought by the army suddenly rang out, and the iron bullets roared and smashed into the wall.

Obviously, there were no weapons in the Zhuangzi that were sufficient to fight the artillery, so these cannons were fired from a stone's throw away. Although it is not a Hongyi cannon, it can do enough damage to the wall. Except for one iron bullet because of icing, the angle was wrong, and it could not be affected by the force and slipped off, and the other two iron bullets smashed a hole.

Suddenly, Zhuang Zi was obviously flustered, after all, Zhuang Ding had seen this situation. The wall was broken, and there were countless Manchu troops outside Zhuangzi, could this be held?

At this time when they were panicking, Gao Qiqian was also a little flustered.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and he led the main force of reinforcements to a place twenty miles away from Julu. However, the Manchu Tartar army had already caught up, and the momentum of the reinforcements was blocked at once.

In several contact battles on the front line, the Ming army suffered defeat. If it weren't for the Guanning cavalry to suppress the formation, I am afraid that the Manchu army would take the opportunity to sweep in and be defeated.

"Formation, formation!" Gao Qiqian ordered in a panic, "If anyone dares to run, our family will not spare him, and the emperor will not spare him." In this battle, we can only fight to the death and rescue Lu Shangshu, otherwise we will all die! ”

If the normal operation had been changed, Gao Qiqian and the generals under him would have run away a long time ago. But Emperor Chongzhen's holy decree and gold medal all show his determination, if anyone dares to run, he will definitely lose his head afterwards, so no one dares to run.

Gao Qiqian can be regarded as letting go, calling all the eunuchs and supervisors in the army, and reiterating again and again: "You also know the emperor's determination." If you can't save Lu Shangshu, our family will not escape death, and the armies where you are located will not fight to the death, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with those soldiers, but you who come from the palace will definitely end up with our family!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice and shouted sharply: "Follow those ruffians, don't leave when you eat and, if you dare to run away, take it directly, do you understand?" ”
