Liu Weiming, the guerrilla general of the 6th Regiment, has been paying close attention to the movements in the direction of Xichong, especially after receiving the news that the Manchu Tartars had entered Sichuan and Liu Jinzhong and Zhao Ronggui had surrendered, the 6th Regiment stationed in Dujiamiao not only constantly sent messengers to report the news, but also paid close attention to the movements of the Great Western Army on Phoenix Mountain.

Now I saw piles of war flames burning for dozens of miles around the Gimpo Post Station, and when I heard the sound of shouts and killings from the north, I hurriedly ran to a high ground and kept watching the movement in the distance with my binoculars.

The security guards guarding the passes were very panicked, and they did not know who was the first to light the beacon tower, and in a moment the beacon tower was set on fire for several miles.

Seeing the raging flames burning on the beacon tower, Liu Weiming immediately sent a scout horse down the mountain to inquire about the news, and sent a fast horse to Shunqing City to report the news.

Less than half an hour after the order was issued, a newspaper was placed near the town of Gimpo:

The Barbarian Qing advance arrived this morning, and now it is launching an offensive against the Liukou, and as soon as the two sides fight, the Great Western Army is completely passive.

Now the camp of the Great Western Army within a radius of more than ten miles is almost collapsing, and everyone seems to have lost their backbone, and the crowd is fleeing in all directions.

Hearing this, everyone felt very nervous, Zhang Xianzhong had more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus there would only be more coolies who were forcibly recruited, how could he be attacked and collapsed?

Liu Weiming had no choice but to order Tanma to continue to inquire about the news, on the one hand, to report to the surrounding brother troops, to send fast horses to Shunqing City, and on the other hand, to mobilize the surrounding villages to help guard the cottage.

By noon, the situation became clear, and the horses found an astonishing news, the Liukou was scattering in all directions, and tens of thousands of people exclaimed the slogan of "The barbarians are killed, and the eight kings are killed in battle", and now they are discussing in the direction of Dujia Temple.

Dujia Temple is about 20 miles away from Jinshanpu, it is now noon, the mist has dissipated, with the help of telescopes can clearly see the fleeing crowd.

Everyone threw away their armor and trotted all the way to the south, and in less than half an hour, about 1,000 people ran to the front of the cottage and shouted to enter the city.

Liu Weiming didn't dare to open the gate at all, and said again and again: "I have already reported the situation to the governor, and I want everyone to wait with peace of mind, and the governor will make a decision immediately." ”

To Liu Weiming's surprise, these people had no patience at all, and everyone shouted to escape south around the detour, while more people followed, all over the mountains and fields, and were scattering everywhere.

Looking at this scene, Yang Yongtai, the superintendent, couldn't bear to say: "General, it seems that what they said is true, if the Eight Kings were not killed in battle, how dare everyone risk the taboo of the Eight Kings and keep saying that Zhang Xianzhong has died in battle?"

Look at the crowd of refugees for several miles, all over the mountains and wilderness, it is really a hell on earth. ”

Liu Weiming touched the beads of sweat on his face and said: "Yang Jianjun, it seems that the Liukou was raided, Zhang Xianzhong was unfortunately killed, and now more than 100,000 troops have escaped.

We're just a small cottage, and we can't stop the army of rogues, and we can't stop the army of Tartars.

For now, we need to hold out for a few days to buy time for the general to deal with the fleeing crowd. ”

Although the arrival of the two was extremely tricky, it was only necessary to do so for the sake of the current plan.

From noon to night, there were many people fleeing, and the next morning there were many fewer people fleeing, and the parents breathed a sigh of relief to relieve the tension a little.

Suddenly, there was a burst of shouting and killing in front, Liu Weiming picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and saw hundreds of people with green flags and strange clothes four or five miles away, shouting that they were chasing and killing the sparse crowd of refugees.

Everyone was stunned in their hearts, and Yang Yongtai said: "General, this should be those traitors."

Adults often say that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the Tartars in the defeat of the Great Western Army after the morale of the whole army is high, everyone is not aware of the slightest danger, now actually dare to green battalion soldiers dare to go deeper than 20 miles, we can take advantage of the fatigue of its members to kill the generals, a little frustration of its edge.

Liu Weiming nodded and said: "My 6th regiment is now a first-class regiment, and there are more than 2,000 people in the whole regiment. ”

It was immediately decided to personally lead the two battalions out of the village to set up an ambush, while Yang Yongtai led the rest of the troops to be stationed in the camp.

The soldiers and horses of the Green Battalion led their troops to pursue the Liukou for more than 30 miles, fighting all the way and capturing a lot, all of them were in extreme excitement and pretending to talk.

From a distance, I saw a big cottage in front of me, and some people thought that there might be many people who had fled here, and thought of the refugees captured along the way, and some of them still had soft things on their bodies.

People die for money, birds die for food, and the generals of the green camp are not aware of the danger in front of them at all, and after a burst of shouting, a general led hundreds of people to rush to the gate of the village with shouts.

But everyone didn't expect the fierceness of the opponent's counterattack, and seeing that the green battalion soldiers were approaching, an order was given, and several tiger squatting cannons placed on the mountain beam were lit one after another.

More than a dozen fireballs fell in the crowd one after another, and a large number of them were killed and wounded.

Since taking refuge in the Tartars, they have been fighting successively, and they are all quite conceited, seeing that the other party actually hit themselves with artillery, everyone is not aware of the danger at all, some release guns, some release arrows to cover, and more are shouting and rushing to the cottage.

Yang Yongtai led his troops to occupy a dangerous place and commanded everyone to fight back continuously, and the two sides fought half a pillar of incense kung fu, and saw that the green battalion all entered the ambush battle, and Liu Weiming led his troops to kill.

The generals of the green battalion were not afraid, everyone relied on the main force of the Manchu Qing Tartars to be nearby, and a team of brave people rushed over, in order to increase the courage to counterattack, many of them kept releasing their guns in the distance, hoping to scare the other party to escape.

But the strange thing is that the other party did not fight back at all, everyone just lined up, and approached the other party under the leadership of the captain and squadron leader.

Seeing each other like this, a few people felt bad and stopped, while most people didn't know the depth at all, and everyone charged forward while firing their guns and arrows.

Unlike the Liukou who did not have much armor on their bodies, the green battalion soldiers wore cotton armor one by one, and some small flags were even covered with chain mail (equipment of the troops in Qi Jiguang's training documentary), which was difficult to penetrate the soldiers at a long distance.

In the face of the sparse and sparse soldiers of the Green Battalion, under the leadership of the squad leader and squadron leader, although people were constantly shot and wounded, the infantry of the Loyal and Righteous Army continued to approach with neat steps, and suddenly stopped at the time of sixty steps.

In the face of the green battalion soldiers who rushed over, the soldiers in the front row raised their guns almost at the same time, and then released them together, dozens of bird guns were fired almost at the same time, the guns crackled and rang out non-stop, and the green battalion soldiers in front fell several people, and some of the less daring ones in the back were even seven souls to scare away six souls, and they were at a loss.

Although the deterrent effect of muskets is far stronger than that of sporadic shooting, the green battalion soldiers are mostly veterans, and after seeing the soldiers around them fall, the people behind them breathe a sigh of relief, and many people continue to jump into the hope of rushing into the formation to slaughter the musketeers who think they have little defense.

But this time it was completely different, the first row of guns was reloaded and retreated to the rear, and the second row naturally stood up, under the command of the captain, raised the bird guns to aim, and then released the guns at the nearby green battalion soldiers.

Third, the sound of gunfire came and went, and after each round of gunfire seemed to take away the souls of some people, and now everyone has gradually realized the power of the platoon gun.

Some people say that the main reason for using platoon guns is to shoot inaccurately, and the main thing to increase the accuracy of shooting through volleys of platoon guns is to increase the accuracy of shooting, but in fact, this statement is not accurate, and the biggest effect of platoon gun shooting is to gain the momentum of taking the lead and completely overwhelm the opponent in morale.

Although the release of the guns in this era was slow, under several rounds of continuous blows, the green battalion soldiers who were besieged by the lone army obviously did not have the courage to fight to the death, and many began to retreat.

The loyal and righteous army continued to advance, and now the soldiers of the green battalion have long lost the arrogance they had at the beginning, and many people were so frightened that they began to retreat gradually, and until the last one had no courage to resist at all, many of them ran away and retreated to the rear.

Liu Weiming and Yang Yongtai led their troops to kill, and pursued the green battalion for three or four miles before collecting troops and returning to the camp, and the surrounding cottage villages were also happy, everyone cleaned up the things that the green battalion soldiers threw all over the ground, and held a few deadly green battalion soldiers who were shaved into rat tails and ugly.

As soon as he returned to the cottage, he received a reply letter from the governor's yamen, opened it and looked at it, and sure enough, as everyone expected, a large number of rogues fled to the city of Shunqing Fu, in order to settle these nomads and prevent a possible mutiny, the whole plan was completely disrupted.

It is necessary for everyone to hold on to the periphery for several days, waiting for the army to be fully prepared for defense, and then fight to the death with the Tartars in Shunqing City.

In addition, considering that the Tartars were running for a long distance and the rear supplies were not in time, they would inevitably loot the surrounding cottages, and all ministries and local militia groups were required to help the people to do a good job in the defense of each cottage to prevent the Tartars from looting grain and baggage from the people.
