Although Shang Kexi was hit by a handcuff projectile and fell off his horse, he was wearing double armor. He was still wearing a piece of chain mail inside, so he was just hit the back. After falling off the horse, he was not trampled by other horses, so he was lucky to be alive.

Liang Zhenfang asked most of the cavalry to go back to deal with the Qing cavalry who were shouting and rushing, and he brought dozens of people to Shang Kexi and the others. He didn't want to catch a job, Li Yan had never liked to catch the leaders of the thieves, and felt that those people were a security hazard, so Li Yan's subordinates did not have the habit of capturing high-ranking officials.

However, they need to confirm the results of the battle, after all, they have killed the enemy's high-ranking officials, and they can't talk about it. Moreover, the cavalry of the Qing army may be killed at any time, and they may not be able to collect the corpses for identification.

Only two pro-soldiers around Shang Kexi stood up, both of them holding long knives, nervously looking at Li Yan's cavalry circling around them.

Liang Zhenfang looked at them and ordered condescendingly: "Surrender and avoid death"

Shang Kexi also held a smooth knife and roared loudly: "Don't think that I am still someone who has received the grace of the Qing Dynasty, how can I betray my master, let you come over."

Liang Zhenfang laughed: "You are a slave, the master of the country, and you have made a sense of pride."

"In this world, who is not the emperor's slave" Shang Kexi said loudly: "Being able to find a good master to serve is a blessing from the cultivation of three lives." The Ming Dynasty is rotten, and the entire Han people are rotten. Fighting for merit, greed for ink has become a trend, the party is the same as the other, and the superiors and subordinates are deceived and concealed. Li Yan shouldn't be much better."

Liang Zhenfang said lightly: "Report your name and official position, and we will repay the merit when we go back." ”

"You go back and make up one, and use it to ask me," Shang Kexi said jokingly.

Liang Zhenfang glanced at the war horses that were scattered and fled, so he impatiently ordered: "Do it, those are good horses, don't let them run." ”

Shang Kexi was stunned, he didn't expect that his life was not as good as those war horses in the eyes of these people He was furious, holding the sword, wanting to teach these guys who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth a good lesson. He is a disciple of the general, he has been practicing kung fu since he was a child, and the two pro-soldiers around him also have good martial arts. He believed that although he might not survive today, three or five of these enemy horsemen would have to be carried on their backs.

But when Li Yan's cavalry rushed over, they were still ten paces away from them, so they suddenly took out their handcuffs and opened fire on them. The projectile hit them with such force that they could not stand firmly. But as they staggered to keep their balance, a dozen of Li Yan's cavalry rushed up, and the steel whip smashed on their heads again and again. Even if they wore the best armor, it would be difficult to save their lives.

Liang Zhenfang instructed: "Tie the corpse with the best armor and bring it back on a horse, as well as the handsome flag." This should be a big man, and you can all take credit for it this time. ”

Mr. Bai beside him said with a smile: "That's also the good luck of Captain Liang." I don't know what position the marshal arranged for Captain Liang after the war."

Liang Zhenfang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but it's certain in the cavalry." At that time, I will ask Mr. Lan Bai to help me a lot. ”

"Where is it, the people who come out of Dashuai's side, we will naturally give our full support." Lan Bai replied respectfully.

Liang Zhenfang realized that Lan Baizong seemed to be a little unconvinced. He said with a smile: "How can there be so many rules and marshals are the most fair, promotion is based on ability and military merits, but seniority is ranked last." Maybe I will obey orders under President Lan Bai in the future. ”

Lan Bai always knew that he had said too much, so he hurriedly hugged his fists: "What Captain Liang said is that Lan has written it down." In the future, we must work hard to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and no longer think nonsense. ”

Liang Zhenfang didn't say anything, and asked these dozens of cavalry detachments to go forward to guard and sentry, while the others went to chase back the scattered war horses, and gave priority to sending the wounded across the river for treatment.

Dolgon, who had just entered Tongzhou, received a report from Shang Kexi's subordinates who had fled back, and he was very surprised to know that Shang Kexi might have died. Shang Kexi was the Zhishun King of the Qing Dynasty and one of the role models for the Han people. Now I don't know life and death, and it's really a little unreasonable. Even if he was really killed in battle, the corpse could not fall into the hands of the enemy.

"Sukh Saha," Dolgon immediately ordered, "bring the fang-swinging soldiers, and the cavalry with two white flags, and go and bring King Zhishun back to me, so that I will see people in life and corpses in death."

Sukh Saha was stunned for a moment, then agreed to come down, and immediately went out to gather the generals.

The other generals of the flags were all talking. Today is really bad luck, not only huge losses, but also a series of losses. The worship of the two yellow flags is the Baturu of the imperial seal, and he died in a battle. Sonny is also a veteran and fled directly. Now even King Zhishun, who has made many great achievements, may die on the battlefield, which really makes them more and more depressed the more they think about it.

Dolgon entered the inner room and whispered to Qi Chongge: "Tell Suke Saha not to be reckless when you encounter Li Yan's artillery team. ”

"Minions understand." Qi Chongge knew what Dolgon meant, and agreed in a low voice, so he quickly went out to spread the word.

At this time, most of Li Yan's troops had passed, and they were infantry and artillery and ammunition trucks. They built a temporary embankment in the Empress Dowager Xiao River with sandbags, leaving only a small mouth for water, so the water level dropped a lot and turned into a babbling stream. After that, the bottom of the river was covered with wide planks, and the gun and ammunition trucks could easily cross the river.

When Sukh Saha came to the vicinity of the river bank with more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 3,000 servant cavalry, he found that Li Yan's two army formations had already lined up on the bank. And in the rear of the two army formations, there were thousands of cavalry waiting in battle.

According to those who fled back, Li Yan's cavalry was also very powerful, much more powerful than the cavalry of the Guanning army. There is a weapon like a three-eyed gun, which is accurate and powerful, and is much more lethal than riding a bow. In a head-to-head duel, more than half of them will be killed and injured in a single shot.

Sukh Saha's face was sweating and his body was also dripping with sweat. Although it was already afternoon, the weather was still hot, and with the thick cotton armor he was wearing, he was sweating even more.

When he arrived, he met two Shang Kexi's subordinates who were pretending to be dead and escaped, and confirmed that the body of King Zhishun had been taken away by Li Yan's cavalry. But the current situation is that even if they attack with all their might, they can't break through Li Yan's military formation. He observed for a long time before finally reluctantly leading his men back to Tongzhou.

However, when he returned, he was immediately ordered by Dorgon to be whipped fifty. Ten lashes were drawn first, and the rest were carried out after the battle. Although he was ordered by Dolgon not to fight hard, but after all, it was a secret order and could not be spoken, so he could only accept it silently. Who called Dorgon a master, and a servant?

The other banners also watched silently, and did not say that Dorgon was protecting his cronies. They all knew that in the face of an opponent like Li Yan, if they rushed hard, it would only increase casualties. At the same time, this also gave Dorgon no reason to punish them for avoiding war in future battles.

They can all think that after returning to Shengjing this time, there will be another power competition. Only by preserving your own strength can you finally get the benefits.
