Li Chengdong's order was passed on, and immediately at the city gate, a cavalry of about 1,000 people gathered on the street.

Tong Yangjia hurried over and wondered, "What's the matter?" Governor Town: What is this? ”

"Wang Shiheng is cunning with soldiers and never willing to suffer." Li Chengdong said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Sure enough, what I was worried about still happened, Wang Shiheng is obviously not ready to attack Zhangzhou, he is going to use the method of locking the city to trap you and me in the city, and then withdraw to fight the cities in central Fujian that have weak defenses." ”

Tong Yangjia listened to Li Chengdong's words, looked in the direction he pointed, and saw tens of thousands of people, digging frantically outside the city, and he couldn't help but immediately think of the Battle of Daling River.

At this time, the Qing army in Zhangzhou set itself in a passive position because of the strategy of defensive counterattack before, but now it is really completely passive.

Although Tong Yangjia did not have Li Chengdong's ability, he immediately understood that Zhangzhou had fallen into a dilemma, if they sat back and watched the Ming army dig trenches and build walls and trap them in the city, then they did not achieve the goal of consuming the Ming army, second, they did not hold back the main force of the Ming army, and third, they might be besieged and reinforced.

If you take advantage of this time to attack, but it is a little late, the Ming army is approaching the city, and the Qing army retreats into the city in a hurry, and the momentum is already lowered, and now Wang Yan and Zheng Chenggong converge, 50,000 beat him 30,000, they basically have no hope of winning.

Tong Yangjia's face became heavy, and he looked at the cavalry gathered at the city gate, "Is Du Zhen preparing for battle?" ”

Li Chengdong hammered his fist on the wall, "Now that the battle has just begun, we have fallen into passivity, Zheng Chenggong's warship has blocked Xixi, even if we want to retreat, it is not very possible." Now there is only the trapped guard waiting for help, but this town can't let Wang Yan be so easy, so he trapped Zhangzhou. The method of locking the city requires the construction of a large number of fortifications, which cannot be completed in a day or two, and the town sends troops to interfere, even if it cannot stop Wang Yan, it will also kill his sharp spirit. In this way, every day of delay can buy one more day for Jiangnan to come in for reinforcements, as long as the reinforcements arrive, even if Wang Yan enters the hinterland of Fujian, it will be in vain. ”

When Tong Yangjia heard this, he already understood that what they could do now was to delay the time for Wang Yan to lock the city as much as possible, and the rest was only to see when Zhang Cunren and Jiangnan's reinforcements arrived.

This is the cavalry at the city gate has been assembled, Li Chengdong immediately shouted and ordered: "Open the city gate!" Let my son attack~"

As soon as the military order came out, Zhangzhou Xicheng, the city gate was wide open, the ropes on the winch creaked, the drawbridge fell, Li Chengdong's son Li Yuanyin led a thousand iron horsemen to rush to the people who were digging the earth, sharp sabers, sharp spears, in the sun, reflecting a dazzling cold light.

Because the Han army was under the white flag, the yellow flag, and the two flags were wiped out on the battlefields of Huguang and Jiangxi, and the eight banners of the Han Dynasty urgently needed to replenish the source of troops, and the Qing court implemented the strategy of using Han to control the Han, and needed to encircle a large number of capable Han generals, Li Chengdong had more than 7,000 people, and 1,500 people, who were incorporated into the white armor.

The Qing court allocated horses and armor for Li Chengdong, but Li Chengdong's department was actually mainly based on the infantry army, and the Qing cavalry in the entire Zhangzhou city would not exceed 2,000 people, which was not that there were no horses, but that the cavalry needed to be trained, and the infantry could not be regarded as cavalry on horseback.

The earth trembled, feeling the galloping of the war horses, and the people who were digging the soil, straightened their waists, touched the sweat, and their faces leaked nervously, but the generals of the Ming army looked indifferent, and swore to command: "Don't watch, continue to dig, I can't hurt you~"

At this time, in the camp of the Ming army, the war drums were playing, and the 6,000 cavalry who had already lined up in formation to prevent the Qing soldiers in the city from going out of the city to harass them were immediately like arrows from the string, divided into two teams in the city, and met each other all the way, outflanking all the way, and wanted to cut off the way back from the Qing cavalry.

Since the formation of the Inspector Cavalry, they have been doubled by the Qing cavalry, and in terms of skills, they are not as good as the Manmeng Eight Banners who grew up on horseback, but can't they cure Li Chengdong?

The momentum of the cavalry of the 6,000 Ming army is more than several times that of the Qing cavalry, seeing that it is easy to rush out, it is difficult to come back, and there is no need for Li Chengdong to collect the troops in the city, and the 1,000 Qing cavalry who just rushed out of the city gate restrained the war horse, and went back where they came, turned the horse's head in a hurry, and squeezed into the city gate in a hurry.

When the Qing soldiers in the city saw this scene, they were surprised, their eyes fell to the ground, the Qing soldiers have always been majestic, pressing the Ming army's hammer, how could they suddenly reverse the form and fall into such a field.

At this time, the cavalry of the Ming army, rushed out of the range of bows and arrows and bird guns, laughed one by one, showed off their might for a while, and the Qing artillery team in the city fired two cannons, and then they left without a trace of panic in the whole process, and they looked extremely elite.

This made Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia's faces heavy.

The cavalry of the Qing army really showed a big face this time, and lost his life, Li Yuanyin ran to the city and hurriedly pleaded guilty to Li Chengdong, "Father, the child is incompetent, and he has embarrassed you." ”

"Your decision is not wrong, and you can make a decision on the spot and bring back a thousand people." Li Chengdong patted Li Yuanyin's shoulder and sighed: "It's this town, negligent, I didn't expect Wang Yan's cavalry to be so strong." ”

For a while, the generals of the Qing Army in Chengqiang had black faces, and no one dared to speak out about the guards and soldiers around them, and the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme.

The Ming army is so powerful, but what should I do?

At the same time, there was a chorus of joy in the Ming army's tent, Wang Yan saw that the generals had a contempt for the Qing soldiers, but reminded: "Don't underestimate Li Chengdong, the entire northern land was owned by Shun back then, but he was able to follow Xingping, from Shaanxi through Shanxi, Henan Huaiqing, and then into Shandong, and finally fled to Xuzhou, across thousands of miles, it is enough to prove his ability." From the point of view of this cabinet, he will definitely not be willing to be trapped. Liu Shun, you take someone to bury the fried bag from the weapons supervision. ”

"No~ I'll do it when it's dark."

The generals of the Ming army understood their understanding, glanced at each other, and immediately laughed in unison.

It was the fourth watch of the night, the gate of Zhangzhou was quietly opened, and three thousand Qing troops came out of the city secretly, and under the cover of night, they went to the camp of the Ming army, obviously trying to steal the camp.

Li Chengdong is indeed a capable general, he thought that Wang Yan had just arrived, the army was unstable, and the Qing cavalry was embarrassed during the day today, which would inevitably make the Ming army spy on him and neglect to take precautions, so he decided to steal the camp at night and kill the Ming army by mistake.

Three thousand Qing soldiers out of the city, carefully touched the front of the trench, touched the first ditch, unguarded, over the low wall, still no one, led the Qing general Hong Xishan nervous, he looked at the Ming army camp not far away, waved his subordinates to touch it, but at this moment, the Qing soldiers in front stepped on the bomb buried by the Ming army.

"Boom~" There were several loud noises, explosions on the ground one after another, dozens of Qing soldiers were immediately swept away, and the Qing soldiers who stole the camp were suddenly in chaos.

According to the Ming Dynasty's "Fire Dragon Sutra", "the bombing is made of pig iron, fasting, putting medicine into a pestle, into a small bamboo tube, through the fire line inside, and using a long line to penetrate the fire groove outside, choose the way to choose Kou, bury dozens of them in the pit, the medicine groove is connected to the steel wheel, the soil covers, so that the thief does not know, step on the engine, shake up, the iron is like flying, and the flames are soaring to the sky." ”

From the records, it can be seen that the "bombardment" is not only the earliest pressure mine, but also similar to today's "chain mine".

The sudden explosion made the Qing soldiers stunned for a while, Hong Xishan saw that it had been exposed, and the camp could not be stolen, so he had to grit his teeth and let his subordinates attack, and the Qing soldiers were in a panic, picked up their weapons, and rushed to the Ming army's Dazhai, trying to use the night to disrupt the Ming army.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~"

Just when the Qing soldiers rushed to the front of the camp, the torches in the Ming village were suddenly raised, and the first three hundred red-haired ghosts were divided into three teams, and the arquebus was raised, and a rain of bullets was directly poured out.

The Qing soldiers who rushed to the front suddenly fell, and the Qing troops behind saw countless figures in the Ming military camp shaking, and there were shouts of killing on both sides, and the morale suddenly leaked.

At this time, Liu Shun immediately led the crowd to kill, and chased the Qing army directly, and Li Guo and Wang Shixiu, who were ambushed on the left and right wings, also killed them respectively, cut off the Qing army, and just surrounded Hong Xishan.

This old Zheng general was also decisive, seeing that he couldn't escape, he immediately threw away the weapon, and ordered the soldiers to surrender directly to the Ming army to save their lives, and the remaining defeated soldiers were chased all the way to the city by the Ming army, until the defenders of the city shot arrows indiscriminately, and then collected the troops and returned to the camp.

At this time, Li Chengdong and Tong Yangjia were completely dead, closed the city gate, hung the suspension bridge, and didn't think about it anymore, honestly guarded the city, and waited for Zhang Cunren and Jiangnan reinforcements to come to the rescue, fortunately, there was enough food and grass in Zhangzhou City, and he consumed it, so that he didn't have to kill people like Zu Dashou to satisfy his hunger.
