Chapter 416. Irretrievable

"What are you doing? Do? ”

The shackles and chains were tied around their necks, and they had just come down from the city, but they were immediately captured by their own people, and the strong men of the Sun family were shouting one by one with resentment and rage.

But, those are Jinyi Guards! Now that the gates of the city have been opened, man has become a lamb again in front of these jackals, and he can only hide aside in trembling and watch all this happen.

"It's Yang Sichang, right?"

was already the first to be chained, and the faint old eyes looked gloomily at his own people being locked, Sun Chengzong was full of indignation and anger, and asked gloomily.

However, Song Xiance didn't answer him, just smiled, and then slapped violently: "Take it all away!"

Such as Sun Chengzong, who has reached a certain level of big people, is not afraid of power, is not afraid of death, and does not even care about the whole family, the battle of Gaoyang in history, the martyrdom of more than 100 people of the Sun family is one of the manifestations of this, but for Sun Chengzong, the only thing that cannot be resisted is loyalty, and the so-called monarch and ministers have to die! Therefore, Song Xiance waved the banner of Jinyi Wei, but he still deceived Sun Chengzong to open the city gate.

In the sound of shouting, the remnants of the death battle of more than 60 Sun family men, women and children were driven by the sergeant, sandwiched in the middle of the cavalry, had to move forward to the unknown area, in the crowd, like a strong pine, Sun Chengzong walked to the front, behind them, Mao Jue specially explained, a lot of books and volumes copied from the Sun family were also packed and stuffed on both sides of the horse jacket. The cries of women and children, the whispered cries and curses of the citizens of Gaoyang who had not yet woken up from the shock, and the jingling of horse bells were mixed together, forming a chaotic day in Gaoyang City.

The initiator of all this chaos, Song Xiance, who had an unprecedented big head, arrogantly stepped on the hand of a personal soldier, climbed onto his mount again, and suddenly looked back at the stumbling prisoners, his slightly ugly old face couldn't help but show a sense of self-satisfaction.

Being arrested by Jinyi Wei and disappearing in the chaos of war is better than the whole family dying in Gaoyang County! Jiang Ye's collecting habit is really enjoyable, who would have thought that the former Wuyingdian University Scholar, Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong Sun, could be hidden in the Dongjiang River?

Although, this old man Sun will definitely be as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit, but among his descendants, there will always be some talents who will be used by my Dongjiang!

"Take it away, go back to Iron Mountain to restore your life!"

"The last general obeys!"

…………

Some can be redeemed, but some can no longer be recovered, just when the flames of war in Gaoyang City were slightly extinguished, Julu, Qinghe, and the flames of war that burned the plains were raging.

"The superintendent has an order, attack!"

The heavy snare drum shook violently, more than a dozen soldiers puffed up the muscles on their arms, and beat the cowhide drum with enthusiasm, even if they were repeatedly defeated, but the Ming Dynasty still had an impassioned army, and there were soldiers who forgot to die!

Tianxiong Army!

In the passionate drums, thousands of Liaodong Jurchen iron horsemen stepped on the tranquility of the Qinghe, brandished the ghost-headed broadsword, and fiercely broke the river, but on the bank, a long pole formed a solid defensive position, and more defensive than the spear is the blood-thicker bond between the township party fathers and elders, one fell, several angry surged up, the father died, and the son then carried the guy with red eyes to kill, and charged several times in a row, The Qing army, which was so furious and furious as the meltwater in the snow-capped mountains, was blocked back by this fiery embankment several times, and I don't know how many sparks burst out between the red water and the embankment.

Hebei has been ruined, and if the Qing army wants to obtain more resources and spend the winter in a warmer place, it can only break through the canal and attack Shandong, so before this, Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda border soldiers are the first to block their road to the south, just in this Qinghe, in this Jiazhuang!

Shuai Qi moved on the front line, and the face of filial piety was terrifying, and Lu Xiangsheng was lucky dantian, and his voice roared out like Hong Zhong.

"Cavalry, attack!"

In the loud roar, thousands of border soldiers circled the river bank, and the horses' hooves galloped wildly around the stall heads, and the Qing army was entangled.

More blood surged, more brutal fighting, and his eyes were full of anxiety in the battle, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly told his cronies, Yang Tinglin, the deacon of the military department, what to order, the latter hurriedly took the order, pulled out the horse, and disappeared on the battlefield.

…………

Behind the glory is the unbearable pain of loneliness, such is the case with war, after a vigorous cavalry duel during the day, a few dazzling figures have been left in the history of the gloomy youth, and at night the soldiers are tormented in unimaginable blood and pain, such is the case with the Xuan army.

On the west side of the Artemisia Bridge, the camp of the Ming army.

The low moans came and went, and the Tianxiong army, which had taken on the Qing army's offensive during the day, was drowned in the darkness, and there was an endless stream of wounded soldiers lying on the edge of the trench, and the wounded war horses were also kneeling between the camps, letting out a dying breath.

Even the intact sergeants, many of whom had night blindness due to the malnutrition of the age, had no rest, carrying hoes and shovels, digging the camp in the dark.

Compared with darkness and fatigue, what is more unbearable is hunger, and it is recorded in history that Yang Sichang deliberately made it difficult for Lu Xiang to be promoted to the army and did not pay military salaries, which is biased. The plan to spread the net on the fourth and sixth corners of the Ming Dynasty dried up the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and Chongzhen did not make a disaster budget at all, and the treasury in the northern area of Gyeonggi River was empty, let alone sleep, due to the collapse of the local government rule caused by the looting of the Qing army, and the grain could not be transported at all.

Since the departure from the prefecture, Lu Xiangsheng's department has cut off the supply, and can only rely on the donations of the people of the state and county for food, and the army can only eat a thin meal in the morning.

But the Qing army on the other side is not like this, indeed, the Qing army did not carry food from outside the customs to come in, but they came to rob it, the food is better than when they were outside the customs, and the physical strength is one after another, which is worrying.

Lu Xiangsheng himself is the one who is deeply worried.

The big tent of the Chinese army!

A lonely lamp is lonely like a firefly, on the map of the Ming Dynasty's road separation, the various marching maps drawn with red and black pens are chaotic like a child's graffiti, in front of this ugly graffiti, pinching the chin is also a messy beard, Lu Xiangsheng is silent, the general soldier is mighty, and Yang Guozhu is also silent.

After a long time, Lu Xiangsheng's difficult voice sounded in the dark night.

"Boxiang hasn't come back yet?"

The last few wars have taken place near Julu City, the Qing army is the trend of assembly, in a few days, the Qing army will encounter more and more, a detail of the war's attrition, plus the Datong general Wang Pu this guy also used the order of Zhang Qiping, the governor of Hebei, to guard its way, now Lu Xiangsheng is only 16,700 people in the army, with this number can not be stopped.

As for behind him, Gao Qiqian is the Guanning army with 40,000 to 50,000 people, stationed in Jize, fifty miles away, which is a new force.

Although it is a political disagreement, Gao Qiqian, the dead eunuch, also used Lu Xiangsheng as a shield and hid behind him, but if it is said that it is completely mistaken about the country, this dead eunuch is not, after all, in that case, Gao Qiqian can be like Liu Yuliang, the bachelor of the superintendent, and just find a big city fortress to shrink into, instead of hanging behind Lu Xiangsheng's army for only 25 kilometers.

However, when he encountered the Qing army Du Lei and Engetu during the day, he sent Yang Sichang to ask for help, but in the end, Hu Dawei shook his head with difficulty.

Again, there was silence in the tent, and it was a few minutes before Lu Xiangsheng gave the order.

"Let's all go and rest! Tomorrow, the captives will have to launch an attack, and there will be a bloody battle!"

"The last general obeys!"

…………

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is undoubtedly revealed in this battle of giant deer, Lu Xiangsheng calculated that the Qing army was going south to Shandong, and also calculated that the Qinghe Artemisia Bridge was the only way for the Qing army, but he didn't calculate that the gathering speed of the Qing army that was scattered and plundered was so fast, or rather, people had the intention of hurting the tiger, and the tiger had the heart to eat people's hearts! The Qing army was also calculating him.

In the early morning, the Qing army camp on the opposite side suddenly rioted, a large number of soldiers and horses converged, at the same time, the southeast and northeast directions of the army at the same time noisy, at this time it was already December, although the Qingshui River was considered a natural danger, but the cold weather under the water flow dried up, there were many river crossing points, Dolgon personally commanded, the Xuan army has been caught in layers of encirclement.

Facing the morning sun, yesterday's bloody battle did not capture the Artemisia Bridge, this Qing army is mighty, the momentum of the swagger swaggered through, the front of the Eight Banners cavalry is dressed in heavy armor like the iron tower, shining in the morning sun shining with a cold light, behind is the heavy barracks composed of the Ming army that surrendered to Jianzhou in the previous wars such as Daling River Guangning, the battle of the Dongjiang River, the Qing army is to let Mao Jue's artillery to be afraid, this time into the customs, what to draw and pull what, do not dislike Shen, There are more than 100 large and small cannons pulled out from the fortresses of various Ming army cities, the front is pulled by oxen and horses, and the back is driven by leather whips and plundered strong men.

The soldiers will never give up until the last moment, although they are abruptly surrounded, but Lu Xiangsheng still puts up a defensive position, he personally leads the Chinese army, Hu Dawei defends the left, Yang Guozhu defends the right, relying on the trench fence dug last night to place firearms, and the three armies are close together in a triangle.

As long as the reinforcements from Gao Qiqian arrive, the Xuan army will not be destroyed!

The difference from history is that Huang Taiji, who was supposed to contain the Guanning Jin defense line in Shenyang, personally sat in front of Jin this time, opened the binoculars and looked at the poisonous artillery launched by the Ming army between the fences, the exterminating cannons, the three-eyed guns sticking out of the trench and the like, a stinging pain faintly on his fat face, put down the binoculars, and subconsciously rubbed his hot nostrils, Huang Taiji was like a wolf and an eagle, roaring and roaring out the military order.

"The Ming army on the periphery of the Mongolian soldiers of the outer domain, the commander of the horses, Tong Yangzhengdu, sent artillery bombardment to the thieves, and the yellow and white, inlaid with yellow and white, and the horses under the four banners of Manchu and Mongolia fought! Quick fix!"

At this time, the Qing army was definitely well-trained, and the peak period in history was like a mountain! Huang Taiji's military order was issued, and a few minutes later, the various Ming military firearms crossing the bridge were already lined up, Tong Yangzheng drew his sword and shouted the order, and the army was filled with fire and fired, and the flying large and small projectiles and the border firearms of Lu Xiangsheng's military camp instantly roared into a swan song.

Destroying Lu Xiangsheng's department is equivalent to eliminating the extremely important mobile force of the Ming army, and the next war will be unstoppable, and the Qing army is also bloody, crouching in the thick smoke behind the heavy barracks, the core of the Jianzhou Jurchens is full of four banner barbarian bandits holding Sen Leng's waist knife rattan card, looking at the Xuan army as if hunting deer in the old forest.
