Yong'an County, Yanping Prefecture, is hilly, reckless, densely packed with streams, and the camps of the Western Army are distributed among the continuous bamboo forests.

The camp was in a state of despair, with ragged clothes and vegetables on its face, wounded soldiers and wailing everywhere.

More than 30,000 people of the Western Army crossed the Xianxia Pass and broke into Fujian under the leadership of Ai Nengqi, the general of Pingnan of the Great Western Kingdom, at the beginning it was like a bamboo, and it was extremely smooth, and successively captured Jianning, Shaowu, Yanping, Zhangzhou and other prefectures, and the Ming army in Fujian was defeated and could not form an army, and could only retreat in Fuzhou and Quanzhou.

In addition to the development of maritime trade in Fujian, the land is extremely barren, and the life of the people in the province is far worse than that of the people in Huguang and Jiangxi. The arrival of the Great Western Army ignited the passion of the people of Fujian to resist, and countless people joined the Western Army, and the power of Ainengqi expanded rapidly, expanding to 100,000 troops in just half a year.

Zheng Zhilong led the Ming army and the Western army to fight continuously, but failed one after another, the sea overlord Zheng Jiajun was able to crisscross the sea and compete with the Dutch, but fighting on the road, it was not at all the opponent of the Western army that had been rogue for more than ten years.

After several failures and losses, Zheng Zhilong had to ask the imperial court for help, and the imperial court also took advantage of the situation to send Wang Yin, a scholar, as the southeast governor to coordinate and command the Ming army in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces to suppress thieves.

After Wang Yin entered Fuzhou, he immediately began to deploy combat matters, and more than 200,000 Ming troops launched an encirclement and suppression of the western thieves from all sides.

Zhejiang soldiers occupied Jianning Prefecture from the north, Jiangxi soldiers captured Shaowu and Tingzhou, and Guangdong soldiers entered Zhangzhou from the south.

Ainengqi commanded the Western Army to actively meet the battle, but it could not withstand the Ming army's step by step. In continuous battles, although the Western Army achieved a series of victories, its territory became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was compressed in Yanping Province, with enemies on all sides.

Just this month, the southeast governor Wang Yin commanded the Ming army to launch a big campaign against the western army, with Yan Yingyuan, Jin Shenghuan commanded the Jiangxi soldiers as the main force, in Yanping Mansion and the western army launched a big battle, at the critical moment of the battle, thousands of eastern troops into the battlefield, with powerful firearms to break through the western army's defensive line, Jiangxi soldiers follow up, the western army collapsed, was killed and captured countless times.

Yanping Mansion was lost, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers of the Western Army and tens of thousands of women and children retreated to Yong'an County, which was stormy and in danger of being destroyed at any time.

A bamboo building by the stream is where the Chinese army of the commander of the Western Army, Ainengqi, is located.

"Tingzhou and Zhangzhou are occupied by the Ming army, even if you want to escape from Fujian, it is impossible, I want to follow my father-in-law for more than ten years, fight thousands of miles, kill countless people, and today is finally coming to an end." After a long time, Ainengqi sighed, and his words were full of silence.

"Father, don't be discouraged, we still have more than 10,000 brothers here, and the child is willing to be the pioneer, so we can go all the way south to Liangguang. The Ming army in the south is weak, and the Guangdong soldiers are far from the Jiangxi soldiers, so it is not impossible for us to defeat them. "Ai Nengqi's son Ai Chengye is just twenty, and he is young and vigorous, and he is unwilling to admit defeat at all.

"Alas, how easy it is to talk about, son, didn't you notice that the Guangdong soldiers are not facing us head-on at all, they always stay in the city and don't come out. With our little strength, we may be able to defeat them in the field, but it is impossible to break through the city.

From Yong'an to the south, the mountains are continuous, the Ming army occupies the main road of the city, if we want to go to Guangdong without fighting the city, we can only choose to cross the mountain range and take the trail, but how can the Ming army let us pass? The Jiangxi soldiers will quickly advance along the stream avenue and block in front of us. When we are exhausted from climbing over the mountains, do we still have the strength to deal with the Ming army that is waiting for work? “

When it comes to the experience of marching and fighting, Ai Nengqi is naturally much richer than his fledgling son Ai Chengye, and after some analysis, the young and vigorous Ai Chengye also had to lower his proud head and look extremely dazed.

"What then? Can we only wait for the Ming army to come and kill us? Ai Chengye muttered.

"Child, Onishi is no longer good, since His Majesty was martyred, Onishi is no longer good. Although Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are still fighting with the Ming army in Sichuan, but now that even the Manchurians have been defeated by the Ming army, how can we be the opponents of the Ming army?

Don't say that the army of Chen Yue, the king of Qi, is that we can't beat the Jiangxi soldiers now, and when Chen Yue leads the army that defeated the Manchus to return, I am afraid that any Western army will be destroyed.

Child, father, I don't have any hope for the future of Daxi, but the blood of our Ai family cannot be extinguished. So for the father's decision, I am here to take the remaining brothers to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army, child, you break away from the army at night, escape from the path, as long as you can live, the incense of the Ai family will not be cut off! “

Ai Nengqi sat on the bamboo chair and said to Ai Chengye.

"Father, no! How can the child abandon you, abandon the brothers and escape alone, if you want to escape, let's run together! Ai Chengye was shocked and shook his head again and again.

"Confused! As a father is the master of an army, how can you abandon your brothers and flee, you are the only root of my Ai family, if you die, our Ai family will be finished! Pack up and leave tonight! Ainengchi retorted.

Ai Chengye just shook his head, refusing to do so anyway.

"Report, general, the Ming army has gone south along Shaxi, and has already crossed Shaxian County to reach Gongchuan Mountain, which is only thirty miles away from our army."

"Report, general, the Ming army of Tingzhou is out of Hukou Village, only forty miles away from Yong'an."

At this time, the sentry came to report the news that the Ming army was coming from the north and south, and the situation was already very critical!

Enengch unfolded the rudimentary map, frowning as he pondered. The speed at which the Ming army came was too fast, completely beyond his expectations.

It was the main force of the Ming army that came from the direction of Yanping in the north along Shaxi, and Ai Nengqi had just been defeated in their hands, but it was 30,000 Jiangxi soldiers led by Yan Yingyuan, the governor of Jiangxi, who came from the direction of Tingzhou in the southwest.

The Ming army is killing in two ways, and it must not be able to be defeated, and how can the remnants of these more than 10,000 soldiers be able to hold this small Yongan county under the siege of 100,000 Ming troops?

I can't defend the battle, I can only escape, but under the siege of the Ming army on all sides, it is not easy to escape. Desperate, already dead-end, Ainengqi's heart was full of despair at the moment.

"Father, either or we surrender." At this moment, Ai Chengye timidly suggested.

"Surrender? What! Ai Nengqi was furious, pointed at his son and reprimanded, "My father-in-law was killed by the Ming army, and countless soldiers of the Western Army died tragically at the hands of the Ming army. ”
