Chapter 442: Liwei
In Ningyuan City, Shang Kexi sat on a bluestone slab, panting heavily.
He brought out 20,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom had a kind of joy for the rest of their lives, and the Shanhaiguan was fought so badly that people had a feeling of escaping from hell.
Shang Zhixin took out the kettle, pulled out the lid and poured it after a pause, wiped his lips and said, "Now that so many brothers have escaped, I'm afraid Ning Yuan won't be able to hold it, unless the army of King Pingxi arrives." Dad, won't you send someone for help? ”
"Jinzhou City is only a day's journey from here, how could Wu Sangui and Kong Youde not know that we have retreated to Ningyuan, anyway, they have reached this point, they will come if they love to support, and if they don't like to come, I will continue to take you to the Songshan area. The group of bastards outside are here to fight Liaodong, not to fight me, so why should we resist alone. His words were loud, not at all like a person who fled for his life in a hurry, and did not mean that there was no master of the six gods.
And Shang Kexi cleverly pointed out that Wu Sangui would definitely come to save himself, even if he didn't come, he could take everyone to Jinzhou, so as to stabilize everyone's emotions.
The surrounding soldiers looked at Shang Kexi in astonishment, their main general had always been wise and silent, and he had never said such a thing. However, in addition to being stunned, there was a faint glimmer of hope in my heart.
The three months of depression in Shanhaiguan made this veteran also fall into the brink of collapse, but Shang Zhixin grinned after hearing it: "Dad, what you said is very reasonable, if you want me to say that I don't do anything, don't guard this Laoshizi Ningyuan City, and retreat to Jinzhou to be a neighbor with Wu Sangui." Anyway, we're all about to finish, where to die is not to die, pull a few companions to avoid the loneliness below. ”
"Shut up!" Even Shang Kexi couldn't stand his son, he raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily, and then said: "Wu Sangui is not a stupid person, Ning Yuan lost what he did to resist the army outside, and besides, in the bitter cold land here, the vanguard Northern Expeditionary Army, which is dominated by Zhejiang soldiers, may not be able to take advantage." ”
"Dad, don't deceive yourself, just that cannonball that Hou Xuanyan fired in, burning the whole Ning Yuan is someone else's firewood, and you still want to defend the city, hahaha."
This arrogant son, at this moment, is simply the most disgusted existence in the world in Shang Kexi's heart.
The generals were finally summoned up by Shang Kexi's rare bloody courage, because of Shang Zhixin's several splashes of cold water, and suddenly disappeared.
Shang Kexi observed his words and looks, and was even more angry, and his knuckles pinched faintly.
Shang Zhixin couldn't hold his mouth, with a hateful smile on his face, and said: "How many people we killed in the Central Plains, how many wives and daughters were used for adultery, this life is worth it." Shang Zhixin's face was pale and thin, and he was upright and handsome, but unfortunately he always had a frivolous look on his face.
Speaking in a pinched tone, it was particularly annoying, not that he targeted these soldiers, but that the biggest pleasure of this kid since he was a child was to make others uncomfortable.
Shang Kexi couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly touched his hand to his waist...
Shang Zhixin saw that everyone was depressed by what he said, and his heart was happy, it is difficult to find a second one between heaven and earth, and he is happy for the pain of others.
He was smug, and he was about to make some disgusting remarks, when suddenly a sharp blade flashed, and the smug look on Shang Zhixin's face gradually turned into pain.
Shang Zhixin, who hated dogs, was cut off by his own father, and his head was half hung on his neck, and his death was terrifying.
The surrounding world was suddenly silent, this knife came too suddenly, most of the people present were veterans of a hundred battles, and a few of them were really good at martial arts, but at this time, they knew that Shang Kexi was good at martial arts, and this knife was enough to suppress them.
Shang Kexi drew his knife and came back, his expression was cold, and he raised his voice and said: "Ning Yuan may not be unable to hold it, we have been defending it for three months, and the Ming army has attacked it for three months. They are even more tired than we are, and whoever dares to retreat lightly will not be forgiven even by my son! ”
Seeing the main general slashing his son, the surrounding soldiers all felt comfortable, and their hatred for Shang Zhixin was greater than that of the Ming army outside.
Shang Kexi, who had killed his son, stood up straight and began to arrange Ning Yuan's garrison affairs, and Shang Zhixin's body lay straight at their feet. No one has mourned for him, and has treated him as a stone.
Shang Ke was happy like a bell, and the surrounding generals heard it clearly and clearly. Instead of damaging his prestige, the killing of the son made the officers and men of the three armies his loyal supporters. But this matter, the Liao soldiers are willing to serve it, and Shang Zhixin is too cruel to bully his subordinates on weekdays.
At this moment, in their eyes, Shang Kexi, who killed his son and established power, was their only reliance. As soon as the military order was issued, the order was followed, and the three armies obeyed the order.
More than 20,000 Liao soldiers, under the command of Shang Kexi, guarded the city passes in an orderly manner. Ningyuan City is where the grain and grass of Shanhaiguan are located, so there is no shortage of baggage weapons, just waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Jin Guang led people to open the warehouse of Ningyuan City, distributed weapons and baggage to Liaodong who fled in a hurry, and erected a flag outside the city to collect the Liao soldiers who fled and scattered.
The reinforcements who were killed and scattered by Li Haoxian were almost not caught up when they fled, and they were scattered in the area from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, and there were quite a few of them.
Seeing the banner of Ningyuan City, they gathered one after another and incorporated into Shang Kexi's team, and the scale and momentum of the soldiers and horses under Shang Kexi's strong soldiers were strong.
At this time, Hou Xuanyan was leading the Northern Expeditionary Army, which had just won, and wanted to "chase the poor with the remaining bravery." ”
After the great victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the whole army slacked off, and optimism filled the entire barracks.
On the way to the march, Hou Xuanyan faintly felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that the enemy army broke and fled, and the vanguard should have taken Ning Yuan. But there has been no battle report for a long time, could it be that there is an ambush in Ningyuan City?
His long conducting career has made him particularly sensitive to danger, and a hint of foreboding makes Hou Xuanyan feel uneasy.
Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan, who was the first in safety, immediately ordered, and the front army stopped. Let the vanguard troops not act without authorization, wait for the army to arrive at the city of Ningyuan, and then enter the city or attack the city together.
Shang Kexi, who was ambushed at the head of the city, saw that the footsteps of the enemy's advance had already stepped into the attack range, and he could launch a surprise attack if he took a step further, but the enemy stopped at this time.
The pioneer Liu Heiqi got the order, although Ningyuan City was close at hand and military merits were at his fingertips, but military law was something engraved in the bones of every soldier of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
The commander had an order, and Liu Heiqi stopped the soldiers and horses without hesitation, waiting for the arrival of the army here.
