Just when Chen Wen chased and killed those who were killed by the so-called "Siming Lake First World War Raising Battalion was completely annihilated, Tian Xiong and Yu Fenqi were only spared, and Li Rong was captured", coupled with the deception composed of the banners of officers at all levels of the Raising Battalion and the decapitation to scare back the Shaoxing Green Battalion, Liu Da was still continuing his survival road in the Siming Mountain in the deep winter.

As a veteran, he has also experienced the defeat of the army several times, so he will carry some dry food with him before each expedition to prevent him from finding food on the way to escape, or running out of food and grass on the way out, which is just right to use here.

It's just that before setting off from Liang Lane Town, Liu Daman thought that he was just chasing and killing some remnants of the defeated generals, so he didn't prepare too much, but after two days of consumption, he had completely eaten it this morning, and he was afraid that the rest of the days would be difficult, especially in this deep winter season.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Da was full of anger, how could such a strong soldier hit him in a daze, if he wasn't stunned and was hit on the head and bled out, how could he fall to the point of being like this. At this moment, he didn't remember the fact that he had praised Shangguan in his heart for breaking the formation with a tiger squatting cannon, and he vented all those grievances on Shangguan who didn't know life and death.

It's just that just chatting like this can't be enough, although with his rich experience in escaping, he can survive until now in this winter, but the people along the way have already been killed and plundered by the Qing army, where can he go to scavenge some food.

It was already afternoon here, and his stomach began to express his dissatisfaction, Liu Da tightened his belt, thinking that before entering this forest, he seemed to have seen a small stream on the west side of the forest.

He walked west in three steps and two steps, and just as he was about to walk out of the woods, a neighing of a horse stopped him in an instant.

The way to escape is always different, if there are occasional village people, and you can find hungry food in the wild, you should still walk in a group, after all, there is a lot of power. But if it is at such a time, and it is still the road where the army has just crossed, no one may be able to find food, and if you go with others, you will die even early, and even if you do not starve to death, you will be cooked by your companions in your sleep, and you will end up with no bones left.

Liu Da lay on the ground, and the servants walked forward, until they crawled behind a large rock, and then looked from the side to the place where the sound came from.

I saw that beside the stream in the distance, a war horse with complete saddle and reins was standing by the stream, and at a distance of one or two meters upstream of it, it was an officer of the Qing army who was bowing his head and drinking water.

After escaping from the search range of the Ming army's infantry, Liu Da walked slowly, and some food on his body could only support it until now. The Qing army officer turned his back to Liu Da, and his back was not very familiar, but the package on the war horse was bulging as if he was eating.

Thinking of this, Liu Da wanted to start from his heart, and the evil was born to the side of the guts, only to see him slowly pull out his waist knife, lest he make too much noise, and then crawled towards the Qing army officer......

A few days later, Xu Lei had already set foot on the road between Dalan Town and Simingshan Town, which was also the road before he and Li Rong entered the mountain road when they chased the rest of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain.

When he just received the task of delivering the letter from Chen Wen's subordinates and fled, Xu Lei just moved forward as before, not daring to run too fast and the war horse fell to death, nor did he dare to dismount and move forward to waste his physical strength. After walking for a while, Xu Lei felt that Chen Wen was probably unlikely to send someone to catch up, so he tore up the letter and buried it, so he could continue to move forward boldly.

Suddenly, a group of people and horses traveled from a mountain pass about one or two hundred meters away, and from a distance, it seemed that the outfit was also a warrior in armor, but because he was wearing a helmet, he couldn't see whether he also had a money rat tail on his head.

At this moment, the team obviously noticed Xu Lei as well, and saw them immediately hit the horses.

Seeing this, Xu Lei couldn't run away on his horse, not because there was a burden on foot behind him, but because the war horse under his crotch couldn't rest for a few days, and he was about to be exhausted, even if he ran, he would definitely not be able to escape. At this time, the burden behind him ran in front of him with a sword and shield in front of him, acting as a guard.

"Faithful."

Xu Lei nodded, if it weren't for Li Ruixin's fear that he would get lost and starve to death and prepare more food, he would have relied on the nephew of Xu Xin, the general of the army in the promotion battalion, and his rank of general officer who broke a thousand people, and he might not be able to control the rout of this left battalion. However, after promising to find an errand for him in the middle camp, this man was also obedient, and he had obviously adapted to the identity of a temporary soldier by leading a horse or something along the way, and he was even more guarded here, so it seemed that he did not have to be killed.

It's just that Xu Lei didn't know that although Liu Da didn't see whether the group of people stayed in the money rat tail at this moment, but the heads hanging on the sides of those war horses were all Han people with tied hair, so if they didn't come out to show it at this time, when would they wait?

"But, Mr. Xu Qian?"

I saw a military general with a shiny, fat and strong face in the crowd coming out of the crowd and asked Xu Lei with his hand.

"General Wang?"

The person who came was Wang Sheng, Xu Lei's heart couldn't help but sink at this moment, he and Li Rong were not a little embarrassed for this general on the road before, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth when they met here?

It's just that Wang Sheng didn't mention this idea at all at this moment, the Qing army officer in front of him still looked high-spirited before parting ways, but here he only walked forward with a personal soldier who didn't even have a horse, his face was gray, and even his clothes and armor were covered with plaster, how did he look like a fleeing return.

Refugees?

How is this possible?

The standard battalion dispatched almost all the men and horses of the left battalion and the right battalion of the standard, there were more than 1,000 soldiers alone, and 1,500 auxiliaries accompanied by them, but the Nantang battalion was clearly only five or six hundred people, although the mandarin duck array was very domineering, but the cavalry and archers were not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Qing army, plus he also told Li Rong that Chen Wen used the mandarin duck formation, even to prevent being slapped in the face by that Chen Wen again, he only said that it was probably the case that he heard what Feng Jingdi said, but he could lose if he knew himself and the other in this way? !

"Mr. Xu Qian, where is Li Shuai?"

Hearing this, Xu Lei's nerves immediately tightened, what should I do? To tell the truth or to get by, he was already quite anxious, whether it was betraying Li Rong, or deceiving Li Ruixin and Chen Wenshi, he performed very well, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately came to the answer.

"General Wang, Li Shuai, Li Shuai has been killed in battle, the entire army of the left battalion of the standard has been wiped out, and even the soldiers I brought have been scattered by the rout."

"Huh?"

Not only Wang Sheng, everyone's eyes widened, if the person in front of him was not an officer of the Raising Battalion, or an officer close to Tian Xiong, almost everyone would think that what they met here was just a madman.

"......, this, so possible?"

almost told the truth of the "really defeated" that he was speculating in his heart, but fortunately, Wang Sheng's reaction was not slow, and he immediately changed it to "how is this possible", but the shock in his heart was not so easy to change.

Recalling the original internal school competition of the Ming Army of Dalanshan, the strong strength of the Mandarin Duck Formation of the Nantang Battalion really scared Wang Sheng, otherwise how could he, who has always spared his life, make such a big move and surrender to the Qing, in order to eliminate the threat of Chen Wen and sell it to himself at a good price?

Under Wang Sheng's plan, the Nantang battalion was not able to participate in the battle of Siming Lake, and the Simingshan coalition army was also annihilated under his just right defection, and a good price had been sold, and the rest was only an incidental threat - Chen Wen and the Nantang battalion.

On the way to pursue the remnants of the Ming army in Dalanshan, although Wang Sheng was casually instructed by Li Rong to find a reason to go, he still told Li Rong what he knew about the details of the Nantang camp. Of course, in order to prevent being slapped in the face again, Wang Sheng only excused Feng Jingdi from saying so, and he didn't bring up Qi Jiguang's matter, after all, he also hated this Li Rong. In Wang Sheng's heart, it is best for Li Rong and Chen Wen to lose both in order to be happy.

In the surrounding mountains, with his familiarity with the rebels, Wang Sheng took a few Ming army's stockades, in order to please Tian Xiong, he killed all the other people except for the women and children who could be sold.

However, who knew that the elite standard battalion of the green battalion of the Qing army, which won the first battle, would be defeated, more than 2,500 people, and more than 1,000 soldiers alone, and it would be wiped out by a remnant army of less than 600 people, and even the commander was lost on the spot, what kind of trouble is this?

"General Wang, if it weren't for what I saw and suffered with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to believe all this......"

Next, Xu Lei told Wang Sheng about the battle, but he put all the blame on Li Rong for underestimating the enemy, and also piggybacking on what Li Rong said on the battlefield about "Mandarin ducks playing in the water".

Mandarin ducks playing in the water?

Hearing this, Wang Sheng's hairs stood on end in an instant, how could it be a shocking word.

Is this Li Rong's original words or Xu Lei's fabrication, if it is Li Rong's original words, then it is obvious that the guy immediately planned to throw the black pot on him Wang Sheng when he found out that something was impossible, but how dare Xu Lei say it in front of him? There are only two people in front of him, but how can he say that there are dozens of old brothers who have been following him for many years, isn't Xu Lei afraid that he Wang Sheng will choose to kill people?

Wrong.

The guy in front of him is definitely not as simple as having no fear, his uncle is Tian Xiong's cronies and officer Xu Xin, but in such a big defeat, the responsibility for Li Rong's death must be Xu Lei's resistance. Of course, there is also Wang Sheng, a fellow general, wouldn't it be a better scapegoat?

I see.

Wang Sheng immediately understood what Xu Lei meant, it seems that only by letting Li Ronglai, who is already dead, be subjected to this black cauldron together, they may be spared. It's just that Wang Sheng is not as heel as Xu Lei, and if he wants to get rid of his crimes, he is afraid that he will have to take some greater credit.

"Mr. Xu Qian, the last general has a wealth in his hands, I don't know if your Excellency is interested......"

………………

November 17 of the fourth year of Yongli, Dalan Mountain.

Being in the enemy's lair, Tian Xiong's heart is full of self-satisfaction, the goal of this battle has been achieved, although Jin Li did not send a messenger until yesterday, saying that he would not go to Dalan Mountain, and he would sweep the Ming army with Simingshan Town as the center, but the overall situation has been decided, the anti-Qing forces in Simingshan have been basically crushed, and they can attack Zhoushan with peace of mind next year.

On this day, Tian Xiong couldn't wait, because the greater the credit, the more opportunities he would have to raise the flag in the future, the commander of the green camp, after all, is still a Han person, how can there be a servant of the Qing emperor in the Qing Dynasty - the banner man is so majestic.

"Won't the old immortal still say it?"

Seeing that his subordinates nodded yes, Tian Xiong immediately waved his hand and signaled to continue the torture. Only this time it wasn't just whipping, something had to be cut off.

Tian Xiong's "old immortal" is the village chief of the village under the mountain who sent crabs to Chen Wen several times, this time he evacuated Siming Mountain, he did not leave, but chose to stay in the village to guard the ancestral grave, to put it bluntly, it is to give the Qing army a target to vent, in order to save the cemetery where the ancestors of the families in the village are buried for generations.

It's just that he was caught by the Qing army, even if he wanted to die quickly, he was afraid that he couldn't get it.

"Dashuai, the general Xu Qian of the right camp and the general surnamed Wang are back."

"Oh?"

Is it just the two of them?

Tian Xiong, who was suspicious, immediately asked his soldiers to bring the two in, but as soon as Pu met, Xu Lei and Wang Sheng immediately knelt on the ground, claiming to be a capital crime.

Under the inquiry, Xu Lei told the ins and outs of the whole thing from beginning to end. Only some changes were made to the details, such as Li Rong casually finding a reason to support Wang Sheng, and the matter of sending Wang Sheng to capture Feng Jingdi, such as Li Rong's accelerated march to catch up with the Ming army, also became a rapid march to storm the mandarin duck formation of the Nantang camp in order to fight for merit, and even refused to send cavalry to make a detour to intercept and kill, and so on.

All in all, Li Rong underestimated the enemy, resulting in a great defeat, Wang Sheng was taken away, and Xu Lei's persuasion was fruitless. The black pot Li Rong came to carry it, they can't say that they are completely irresponsible, but they should not be responsible for the defeat.

"Humbly persuaded Li Shuai, the Dalan Mountain thieves used Qi Jiguang's mandarin duck array, which was not easy to break, but Li Shuai refused to listen, and directly sent a large team of men and horses to attack, but returned defeated; After that, he proposed to wait for the two Fran cannons to bombard the bandit formation with artillery fire, but Li Shuai was in a hurry to attack, so he only let the tiger squat cannon he carried fire, and was stunned by the thieves who forcibly broke through the battle formation......"

Looking at the two people who fell to the ground, how could Tian Xiong, who was old in military affairs, not know about the greed for merit in the army, but Li Rong was already dead, and the Zuo Battalion was wiped out, it didn't matter if Wang Sheng died or not, Xu Lei was born in his own army, and he was the nephew of Xu Xin, a general of the Chinese army, and his father died on the battlefield to protect Tian Xiong, which made Tian Xiong good.

"The last general was ordered by Li Shuai to go to arrest Feng Jingdi, the servant of the puppet Ming Army, and met the Dalan Mountain thief Kou Mao Mingshan on the road to try to cover Feng Jingdi's escape. The last general was incompetent, and he couldn't win several times in a rush, but fortunately, Xu Qian always arrived, and the army fought a bloody battle with the thieves, and won by luck, beheading a lot, and even captured the traitor Feng Jingdi alive, just let Mao Mingshan escape and die. ”

Feng Jingdi?

Hearing this name, Tian Xiong immediately stood up, and before sending troops, Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, gave him and Jin Li a list, among which in this operation, in addition to eliminating the anti-Qing forces in the Siming Mountain area, the most important thing was to capture Wang Yi, Wang Jiang and Feng Jingdi, three high-ranking officials appointed by the court of the Lu Prison State. Wang Yi is already in his hands at the moment, although Wang Jiang has run away, but if Feng Jingdi can get his hands, it will definitely be a great achievement.

"Bring Feng Jingdi up."

It's just that the moment he saw Feng Jingdi, Tian Xiong couldn't help frowning. At this moment, Feng Jingdi was already terminally ill, but even so, he still stood there strongly, refusing to sit or kneel, except for coughing and scolding, even more rigid than that Wang Yi.

Tian Xiong waved his hand, and motioned for his soldiers to take him down to take care of it. It's just that when Wang Sheng, who was standing on the side, watched Feng Jingdi being dragged away, he still remembered in his mind that when he and Xu Lei climbed Heding Mountain to arrest Feng Jingdi, this weak scholar who had only half a life left and had always thought he was smart to the point of stupidity, still broke what he thought in his heart.

"You dog thief have done so much, aren't you afraid of the remnants of the eunuchs? This official is watching from the sky, watching how you, a dog thief, died at the hands of that eunuch remnant! ”

After two great achievements, Wang Sheng felt that there should be a place for him on the side of the Qing army, but on the way out of the camp, he still called his cronies who had always been by his side.

"Go find someone who is literate and literate, and then buy a few copies of Qi Jiguang's military books, and Ben Shuai will also try whether this mandarin duck array can destroy the enemy like the hands of the surnamed Chen."

………………

"Xing Dynasty Record, Yue Wang Benji"

The surname of the king of Yue is Chen, the word is Furen, the ancestral home is Xincheng County, Hangzhou Prefecture, and the hereditary right guard of Tianjin is one hundred households. His ancestors......

Prison for five years, the king of Yue was entrusted to Dalanshan to report the information of the Qing army's encirclement and suppression, Wang Yi, the left attendant of the military department, saw that Wang Zirong was very great, talked like a famous man, and was well versed in the art of war, and was very happy in his heart, and wanted to take the king as a praise painting in the army, but the king did not allow it.

Later, the king was impressed by Yizhi's loyalty and accepted the order. Wang Tianzong is talented, trained strong soldiers in the tenth month, tried it in the school field, and the elite of the Dalan Mountain headquarters collapsed into an army, and it was surprising at the time.

In September, the captives Tian Xiong and Jin Li sought to capture Dalan Mountain in order to attack the line, and they were very afraid of the king's prestige. Sui Yin envoy Feng Jing, the first general of the military department, Wang Sheng, separated the king from the king and the kings of Siming Mountain. All the tribes were bewitched by the rumors of the ascension, and they all slandered Yu Yi, unwilling to join the battle array with the king.

On October 17, on the shore of Siming Lake, Wang Shi and the commander of Tian Xiongzhi encountered the standard battalion, fought hard and bloodily, and the casualties were equal, but unexpectedly, the whole army was annihilated, and Yi was captured, and Yi's generals Huang Zhongdao and Liu Yiming were generously martyred. A few days later, Yi's own soldiers returned to Dalan Mountain with their will, and the king was ordered to cover the retreat of the people to avoid being slaughtered by the captives.

On the sixth day of November, Li Rong, the deputy general of the left battalion of the captive banner, led 2,500 elite soldiers to follow him to a mountain pass north of Beizhang Town to catch up with Wang's division. In order to cover the retreat of the people, Wang took the lead in the inferior army, fought a bloody battle, and finally defeated the enemy from the north, captured Li Rong alive, and captured the generals Xu Lei and Wang Sheng.

In February of the sixth year of the prison country, the prison country heard the courage of the king, gave Shang Fang the sword, hung the seal of the general, and wanted to use the county lord to allow it......

……

…… If Wang Yi is here, why is this so.

Therefore, the calamity is determined in a few days, and it is beyond the reach of manpower.
