Wu Junzhen, who thought about it seriously, felt that things were not so simple? He replied, "Master Inspector, it may be that we are testing the two of us so that we can make war achievements, after all, everyone in the army knows that you and I are the two champions of the three armies, and I believe that Lord Inspector will arrange it properly." ”

Then the Ming army brigade went out of the city to Jiaxian according to the plan, this area is full of grassland, flowers and trees, relatively dry and short of water, and the Ming forward garrison who walked in front said to Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei, "Li Thief's subordinates take the heavy armor soldiers as the main force, if our army wants to break through the heavy armor soldiers, it must first break the armor in killing, and the best weapons are to break the armor with treasure hammers, halberds, Miao knives, etc., and the fire guns are best to be Miru guns with accurate range and high lethality, self-generated fire guns, etc.!" ”

Then the Ming forward guard also said: "I took advantage of the darkness to escape quietly, before leaving, I found that the Li thief seems to have set up two battalions of troops outside the city?" I wonder if it's an ad hoc arrangement? And the city defense by the Liukou Governor: Li Guo, guarding this person is a civil and military wizard, but unfortunately he does not understand strategy, he is a brave and unscrupulous person, our army only needs to be close to the city gate to break the city. "Hearing him say this, people don't feel like spies? After all, no such spy would casually reveal military information.

Soon, the front team of the Ming army came to the outside of Jiaxian County, only to see that there were two large battalions stationed here, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei hurriedly asked the team to stop and did not dare to step forward, but the Ming forward garrison immediately suggested that the headquarters of the fire gun team aim at the enemy camp 100 meters away to prepare to shoot, you must know that the fire gun will inevitably alarm the enemy, and the left and right flank armies have not yet arrived! Therefore, Ma Wei proposed: "Lord Garrison, the last general thinks that it is not too late to wait for the arrival of the right wing troops to meet the battle!" Because Ma Wei suddenly thought of the poisonous fire flying cannon that he had prepared for the general guard of Mingtong Pass before, Wu Junzhen also advised the forward garrison to postpone the march, after all, our army does not have an advantage in numbers and lacks firepower!

The Ming army followed by the two wings also drove here, and the Ming forward garrison reported to the general soldier of the Ming Tong Pass Guard, "Lord General Soldier, the two pennant fluttering camps in front of you are the garrison of Liukou outside the city, with about 80,000 troops mainly heavy armor and cavalry, and the threat to our army can be said to be a bit heavy!" ”

At this time, the general guard of Mingtong Pass laughed loudly and said, "This is just a team set up by the Liukou to garrison outside the city!" There is no need to be afraid of them, and the general will order the poisonous fire cannon to come up. In fact, Ma Wei also guessed that he would use poisonous fire flying cannons, and the Minggu Yuan Guard General next to him began to notice the direction of the wind, which happened to be blowing towards the Liukou camp in the east, which had to make him admire the Mingtong Pass Guard. The soldiers quickly pulled up the ten poisonous fire cannons and aimed them at the enemy camp, and under the leadership of the general of the Mingtong Pass Guard, the generals in front each put on their face towels, and a row of artillery men held the torches high and waited for the soldiers to finish loading, and the firing cannons that were blown out fell on the surface of the enemy camp.

It took half a column of incense before ordering the soldiers to stop the artillery fire, Wu Junzhen looked at the enemy camp in the distance and saw that the smoke was already billowing out, and he guessed that the rogue was bound to kill and wound more than half of them? However, just in case, the two commanders still sent a team of muskets to slowly approach the enemy camp in front and fire their guns at a suitable distance.

Most of the rogue soldiers outside the city were poisoned by the flowering cannonballs of the poisonous fire flying cannon, and the rest of the rogue generals were also killed and wounded, and the sound of the cannon alarmed the governor of the Shun army who defended the city: Li Guo, he wanted to go out of the city to rescue the soldiers, but when he saw a large amount of poisonous gas outside the city, he was afraid of infecting the defenders and causing the whole army to be wiped out! I had to run to report the military situation of the Ming army attacking the king of Xinshun, and the proud and arrogant king of Xinshun did not take the Ming army in his eyes at all, he took the case and shouted, "Sun Chuanting's troops are really here, and the generals will listen to the order to go out of the city with Gu to meet the Ming army, and see if he Sun Chuanting is powerful?" Or is it a lone army? Seeing that the new Shun King was so reckless, the Shun army Zuo Fu was very worried, and according to the Shun military governor, it was inconvenient to go out of the main gate with poisonous gas outside the city.

So the king of Xinshun went to the back city to the Shun army Guoyi general: Xie Junyou, for the front army to lead the Shun army light cavalry out of the city to kill in front of the Ming army, Wu Junzhen's ears moved, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves, he shouted, "Everyone be careful, there are enemy troops approaching this side?" Before they could finish speaking, the soldiers saw a very fierce rogue cavalry rushing out from the side.

At this moment, the frightened Ming Gu Yuan Wei General hurriedly ordered the fire team to shoot, (bang, bang, bang) a row of lead bullets hit over the spot, there were more than a dozen rogue soldiers fell off their horses and died, General Guoyi of the Shun army was very angry and picked up the double hammer hanging on the horseback to block the lead bullets, the Ming forward garrison saw this and took the soldiers up to fight, he quickly rushed to the front of the rogue soldiers' horses to stab the war horse with spearmen, and quickly took out his saber and slashed off the head of the rogue soldiers.

Then the general guard of Mingtong Pass also let the soldiers charge, and let the fire gun team change to the three-eyed gun, thunderbolt, Lianzhu gun and other multi-barreled guns that specialize in shooting cavalry, and shoot intensively at the Liukou soldiers who are waving knives on the horses, watching our soldiers fight when Ma Wei (Zheng) pulled out the knife and wanted to join the battle, and Wu Junzhen hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Ma is not in a hurry to go out to fight first, you see that the light cavalry of the Liukou from the helmet to the horse are all in accordance with the cavalry equipment of our army (armor), we only need to cut the horse's legs and pierce the eyes to break the enemy." ”

Ma Wei felt that there was some truth and asked the soldiers to hold spears and list the "long snake formation" to attack the Liukou, Wu Junzhen let the soldiers change to * and the melon skin hammer to rush towards the Liukou, the Ming army first knocked down the Liukou with the melon skin hammer to slash and kill, in the * cut off the horse's legs to kill the Liukou, Wu Junzhen, who was brave in battle, brandished the melon skin hammer and killed dozens of people one after another, killing one of the Liukou generals in charge of the brigade and three of the generals, Xinshun Wang saw that the Ming army was attacking very fiercely and was about to order the generals to help, and when Sun Inspector and the generals who hung high (the flag of the commander of the three armies) in the distance also arrived, The general army of Ming Henan quickly pounced on the right mighty general of the Shun army: the party guarded the su.

Subsequently, the Ming Shaanxi General Army, the Ming Yulin Guard, the Ming Qinzhou Wei General Soldier and other Ming generals also successively killed the main force of Liukou, and the artillery battalions of both sides were bombarded 200 steps away, making the artillery in Jiaxian County tremble and the fierce battle lasted for a day and a night.

Hit the next day when the combat effectiveness of the Shun army was slightly weaker, some of the generals gradually retreated and fled, and were chased by the Ming soldiers and killed three hundred Liukou deserters, the new Shun king saw that the Ming army's firepower was too fierce, especially the Shaanxi Ming army was full of long-range lethal firearms (a swarm of bees, a hundred tigers rushing arrows, eagles chasing rabbit arrows, fire dragon arrows) and so on, the besieged Xin Shun Wang began to give in to the soft order to withdraw the troops, Shun Army Guoyi General: Xie Junyou, he planned to cover the retreat of the new Shun King, but the Shun soldiers were very crowded when they retreated, and fled in a mess. fully exposed the habits of the Liukou, and when Inspector Sun saw that the main force of the Liukou was scattered in an instant, he ordered the whole army to attack.

Even the Ming Ping thief general who had just gone north was killed, and the Zuo army immediately launched 300,000 soldiers and horses to pursue the Liukou with all their strength in order to avenge the previous (Zhuxian Town defeat), and the Ming army from all walks of life killed many low-level officers of the Liukou, captured tens of thousands of horses and seized countless weapons.

At the same time, when Wu Junzhen and the generals were chasing Liukou, he saw a man with a double hammer in front of him sweeping our soldiers, and Wu Junzhen was very angry, he took out a lightning bolt and aimed it at General Guoyi of the Shun army, and fired a bang (bang), which happened to shoot through the forehead, and the enemy general quickly fell off his horse and fell to the ground and died, so frightened that the head of the new Shun king did not dare to return in the process of escaping! Wu Junzhen had a meeting with King Xinshun before, so he recognized him, so he led his soldiers to chase him, but was stopped by the archers of the Shun army! As a result, the Shun army successfully escaped into Xiangcheng County, and the Ming troops also followed and came to the city to set up a formation.

In the face of the critical situation, some of the generals of the Shun army had the idea of surrendering, and they also united with the Shun army Xiangcheng Zhixian: Wan Ruping, the infantry governor of the Shun army: Hu Daqing, and others led the troops into the county government to surround the surrounding groups, and searched with a knife to find the king of Xinshun in a study, and wanted to kill the Li thief with a knife, and handed over the head to the Ming army to show the sincerity of surrender, only to see the king of Xinshun was very afraid and said, "Since the rebellion, it has been an unforgivable crime to repeatedly kill the vassal king and burn the imperial tomb!" Although it is surrounded by the Ming army at the moment, there is still a chance of breaking through? You might as well fight to the death with the Ming army again, if you can't win at that time, it's not too late for you to kill Gu and surrender? ”

At this moment, the generals of the Shun army felt that there was some truth after hearing this, this Li thief was indeed blessed with a great fate, maybe he could turn defeat into victory this time? The generals hesitated for a while to decide whether to believe his words, and King Xinshun hurriedly pinched a handful of sweat, and then sat down and arranged for them to arrange the city defenses.

At this time, God seemed to have done the Shun army a great favor, and suddenly the dark clouds were in the sky, and the wind began to howl, and the generals outside the city raised their eyes and sighed, "It's going to change the sky!" Then the heavy rain began to fall, Inspector Sun had to order all the soldiers to withdraw into the camp tents, each battalion only left a team of men and horses to patrol, and also sent out a soldier responsible for digging a waterway to bring all the rainwater into the city to flood the Liukou, but the rain became heavier and heavier for seven days, making the Ming army outside the city miserable, the soldiers began to complain that the providence made people, and many Ming generals led the troops to withdraw into Tang County and camp in Tang County without authorization.

Due to the continuous heavy rain, the roads were muddy, and soon there was a shortage of food in the battalion, and the food in the battalions of the Ming army was decreasing day by day, and some soldiers began to be dishonest! They have sneaked into the granary to steal food to eat, for which Inspector Sun was very headache, he sent the grain inspector to urge the grain truck to escort the logistics, but the road was really difficult to walk on rainy days, which gradually caused problems in the logistics of the Ming army.

However, the new Shun king in the city saw that the heavy rain continued, and he had a plan to decide to lead the whole army to withdraw from Jiaxian County and give up the city to the Ming army, but was unanimously opposed by the generals of the Shun army, and they asked, "Why do we want to give up Jiaxian to the official army?" Doesn't that fuel their arrogance? ”
