Chapter 16 There is still hope for the Ming Dynasty

Several of Liu Shu's entourage were loyal dead soldiers, raising the swords in their hands horizontally and vertically, resting them on Zhang Xianbi's chest vest and neck, treating him as a hostage, protecting Liu Shu and retreating step by step.

Zhang Xianbi's subordinates threw a mouse taboo, and there was nothing to do for a while, if the other party was one or two people, they could also suddenly release cold arrows and risk going up to grab people, but at this time, several key points on the handsome body were against the bright knife, as long as anyone stabbed lightly, it would kill him.

"Don't move, don't move!"

Zhang Xianbi shouted loudly and ordered his subordinates to give way, and the officers and soldiers who stopped in front had to retreat to both sides.

Liu Shu and the others finally withdrew from the barracks, wanted to return their mounts and horses, escorted Zhang Xianbi out of Yongxin County, threw him in the field, and rode away by themselves.

It didn't take long for the chasing soldiers of the Dian Qi battalion to arrive, and the generals hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Dashuai, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and all of them bravely asked for their lives, wanting to cut the skin of the little lady surnamed Liu with a thousand knives and vent their anger for the handsome.

The mutton was not eaten, and it caused a commotion, Zhang Xianbi was already annoyed and angry, and asked for a horse to ride, and chased after the army. After chasing more than ten miles along the road, I saw more than 1,000 Ji'an volunteers fleeing in front of me from a distance.

"Everyone, that girl is not an ordinary person, stay alive!"

Zhang Xianbi knew very well that Liu Shu's father was a martyr of the Donglin Party, and her husband was the governor of Ningxia, so it didn't matter how he bullied her, but if he killed her with a knife, he would still cause trouble.

"Dashuai, don't you want this girl anymore?"

"Forget it, pull out the knife at every turn, Lao Tzu still wants to live for two more years." Zhang Xianbi was still afraid for a while when he thought about it, Liu Shu had a strong temperament, and she knew martial arts under her hands, so if she was really forced to be included in the room. Maybe the time when the candles in the cave room are spent is the day when Lao Zhang returns to heaven.

"That can't let her go! If this matter gets out today, will our Dian Qi Camp still have a face! ”

"Yes, if this girl goes to Changsha and complains in front of He Junmen, it will not be good for the handsome."

"Woman, arrest her back first, and be honest after a few days!"

The generals clamored one after another, Zhang Xianbi nodded again and again, and raised his knife with a wave. With a large army, he rushed forward.

He is not afraid of embarrassment or anything, but everyone who reads wears a pair of pants, and this flowery little girl's skin came to He Tengjiao, and she cried delicately, and a little thing with a big fart had to be turned upside down. In case He Junmen blames him, he can't afford it.

I saw the Dian Qi camp chasing after me. The Ji'an volunteers had no choice but to stop. turned around and prepared to fight, but in a hurry, their formation was a little scattered, and the look on their faces was also a little panicked and nervous.

The volunteers were not regular soldiers, they used to be ordinary people. Some of them can use a few martial arts and fists, but they are not of much use on the battlefield. Aroused by righteous indignation, they rose up to resist the Qing Dynasty, followed Liu Shu and fought a battle with the Qing army, and retreated to Yongxin in defeat. thought that Zhang Xianbi's officers and troops would be their reliance...... Unexpectedly, the Ming official army was going to fight against the Qing volunteers!

Liu Shu fought out of the battle and shouted loudly: "Zhang Xianbi, we are all anti-Qing righteous masters, do you really want to kill them all?" ”

"Hehe, what kind of anti-Qing righteous master, it's clearly a thief!" Zhang Xianbi smiled and said: "Hurry up and throw down the weapon, tie your hands and arrest it, I will be merciful, and I can spare your lives, if you dare not obey, you will be killed......"

He didn't stop doing anything, preparing to annex this anti-Qing volunteer army, and these more than 1,000 young and strong men with strong blood and strength were added to the Dian Qi camp, and they could go into battle with a little practice.

He was talking triumphantly, but Liu Shu raised his sword and shouted to the volunteers behind him: "This person is a traitor of the Ming Dynasty, if you want to put me to death, fight with him!" ”

The volunteers shouted together, holding knives and guns and rushing towards the officers and soldiers, Liu Shu took the lead and rushed straight to Zhang Xianbi!

"What a splashy! Do you want to fight? ”

Zhang Xianbi and his Dian Qi battalion did not expect that the Ji'an volunteers had fallen into a desperate situation, and they dared to rush to attack, and they were caught off guard, and the volunteers were killed and retreated.

However, the Ji'an volunteers just relied on a breath of blood, and there was no backup move after the three-plate axe, and the Dian Qi battalion quickly stabilized its position and fought with the Ji'an volunteers, they were regular troops in the end, and the number was several times that of the volunteers, and it didn't take long to gain the upper hand.

Swords and guns were waved, blood burst out, and the anti-Qing volunteers continued to fall under the hands of the Ming officials.

"Let's go!"

Liu Shu ordered the Ji'an volunteers to retreat, and if they didn't leave, they would be surrounded by the Dian Qi battalion. After she brandished the sword and broke it herself, she rushed to the rescue when she saw the entangled volunteers, and the Dian Qi camp had already received Zhang Xianbi's order not to hurt her life, and there was no way to take her for a while.

Fight and retreat!

The Dian Qi battalion was like a cat playing with a mouse, not in a hurry to fight with the Ji'an volunteers, but from the division of troops from both sides of the encirclement, to slowly polish the opponent's sharpness, forcing them to surrender, the Ji'an volunteers were gradually entangled by them, one by one was divided and surrounded, and they were about to collapse.

Liu Shu didn't say a word, fighting desperately.

Her sword had long been cut off, and her horse had been killed, picking up a knife from the ground, but the more she fought, the more courageous she became, she rushed into an encirclement, rescued dozens of subordinates, and in the blink of an eye, she was scattered by the Dian Qi battalion, gritted her teeth and rushed up again, and then gathered the volunteers together......

I'd rather die in battle than give up!

Seeing that their companions fell one by one, the volunteers also killed their blood, they were anti-Qing righteous teachers, but they were killed by the Ming official army, the resentment, grievances, unwillingness, and hatred in their hearts became stronger and stronger, wielding knives and guns to fight desperately, and they were unwilling to surrender to the death, but gradually gathered together.

Zhang Xianbi's face was ugly, he didn't expect the Ji'an volunteers to be so difficult, the casualties of the Dian Qi battalion were getting bigger and bigger, and it would be a loss-making business if it continued like this. He gave the order and brought in hundreds of archers, and the arrows rained down on the Ji'an volunteers.

The Ji'an volunteers finally couldn't stand it, nearly a thousand people turned around and ran, there was no organization, no resistance, the defeat was like a mountain, the Dian Qi camp was killed from behind, chased down all over the mountains, Liu Shu had more than a dozen henchmen around her, desperately protecting her to retreat.

At this time, another large army suddenly appeared behind the Ji'an volunteers, rapidly approaching the battlefield!

Officers and soldiers!

The red flag fluttering in the wind shows that they are also officers and soldiers. Since there is still an ambush in the official army, the Ji'an volunteers have been completely surrounded, and there is no life in today's battle!

Liu Shu gritted her teeth and rushed towards this group of officers and soldiers.

Die to die, die on the way to the charge!

She brandished a steel knife and rushed straight to the general flag of this group of officers and soldiers, but a female general suddenly rushed out from the opposite side, jumped off the horse and raised her sword to block her.

"Dangdangdangdang......", the two steel knives collided one after another, and sparks flew everywhere. Liu Shu gritted her teeth and slashed hard, but the female general was so timely, raising her knife to block left and right, and constantly smacking her tongue and praising in her mouth.

"Good. Good, good knife technique! What a fierce girl! ”

She was less than twenty years old. but called Liu Shu a girl. A Shaanxi accent full of charm is Li Runniang.

Liu Shu was annoyed in her heart, her face was strained, her mouth was closed, and she just slashed one after another, each knife faster than the other. One knife is more ruthless than the other, just like the strength never runs out, but grows bigger and bigger...... Li Runniang is strong in martial arts, and she was aroused by her ruthlessness. wielded the knife and slashed one after another, intending to compare with her.

"Dangdangdang......"

"Dangdangdang......"

Liu Shu suddenly realized that something was wrong, except for the impact of their two knives, there seemed to be no one fighting beside her, she used her spare eyes to look left and right, the official army brigade and the Ji'an volunteers were gone!

This surprise was not trivial, she quickly jumped out of the circle and turned to look back.

In the distance, the newly arrived official army was killed with the Dian Qi battalion, and her Ji'an volunteers had been rescued......

The Gongyi battalion, the spear array, entered the Dian Qi battalion formation.

Five thousand men and horses lined up in four huge phalanxes, and Wang Kefan led the firecrackers and archers in the center to provide support for the pikemen.

Wang Kefan's face was very calm, he didn't know who the female general who was saved was, and he didn't know who the leader of this volunteer army was, but he already knew from the mouths of the scouts and the routs that more than 1,000 people were anti-Qing righteous divisions, and they were suddenly attacked by the Dian Qi battalion, and Zhang Xianbi wanted to fire them.

That's enough.

This gave him a reason to do it.

Wang Kefan is familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty and knows what Zhang Xianbi did, and his situation is completely different from that of Lu Ding and Ma Jinzhong.

No matter how Lu Ding and Ma Jinzhong squeezed out the Gongyi battalion, they played a certain role in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty, and when the Manchu Qing invaded Hunan, they also dared to fight against the Qing army, but Zhang Xianbi was a complete warlord, afraid of the enemy like a tiger, supported the army and respected himself, did not do a good thing, and always made trouble for the friendly army behind his back.

Kill!

Except for the water bandits in Song Jiang, this was the first field battle of the Gongyi battalion.

After more than a year of training and fighting, the pike formation is also constantly improving, equipped with archers and firecrackers several times more, there are cavalry to cooperate on the periphery, auxiliary soldiers to help set up various facilities, the Gongyi battalion's field combat ability is now much stronger than at the beginning.

And their opponents are not much stronger than Song Jiang's water bandits.

Zhang Xianbi was Fu Zonglong's subordinate in his early years, and he Tengjiao always regarded him as a treasure, but among the large and small warlords in Hunan, the combat effectiveness of the Dian Qi battalion has always been the bottom, and other warlords look down on them.

Even if the Dian Qi battalion was ready, it was not the opponent of the Gongyi battalion, and it was suddenly attacked by the Gongyi battalion during the battle, and immediately collapsed and collapsed completely.

Escape!

Zhang Xianbi was fleeing for his life, and the entire Dian Qi camp was fleeing for his life.

Can't escape!

Ti Zhaorong's Xiliang cavalry chased after him......

The Ji'an volunteers had gathered together, shouting and cheering for the Gongyi battalion from afar, and when they saw that a Ming army was chasing and killing another Ming army, they felt that it was a matter of course, and they were so relieved!

Fortunately, there are officers and soldiers like the Gongyi Battalion, and there is still hope for Daming!

……

PS: Introduce the ending of Zhang Xianbi in real history, the following content is not included in the charge.

After He Tengjiao's death, Zhang Xianbi had no backer and was forced to take refuge in Sun Kewang.

In the sixth year of Yongli, Sun Kewang sent Liu Wenxiu to attack Baoning, Zhang Xianbi went out with the army, Liu Wenxiu did not dare to reuse him, so he sent him to guard a bamboo bridge on the back road and lead the army to fight against the Qing army.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xianbi was worried that the Qing army would attack, so he cut off the bamboo bridge and ran away, Liu Wenxiu came back from defeat, and had no way to retreat so he had to jump into the river, and most of his soldiers drowned, and when he came back, he arrested Zhang Xianbi, and Sun Kewang ordered him to be killed......
