A large number of full soldiers and the Han army arrived in time to reinforce the two yellow flag soldiers, Ao Bai also wore armor, took the lead, and repelled the white flag soldiers several times, not only stabilized the position, but also looked at the signs of defeating the white flag soldiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If the situation continues, the more than 2,000 white flag soldiers who rebelled are likely to be wiped out by the Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers loyal to the emperor, and the gathering of a large number of Manchurian soldiers and horses also gives Ao Bai the confidence and time to clean up the situation again.

Even if a large number of Qing troops are still retreating now, but only a few thousand Manchu and Mongolian cavalry can be gathered, Ao Bai can hold down the position, no matter how bad it is, it will force the Taiping army to give up the pursuit of the Qing army, so that the Taiping army can not get more results, after all, their strength is limited, at this moment is a counterattack on the whole front, and the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized are only more than 10,000 people, and the opponent is mostly cavalry. If you are not careful, it is very likely that you will be counterattacked by the Qing army, and in this case, the consequences will be much more serious.

Fortunately, the cavalry of the Taiping army arrived in time, and they drove thousands of defeated troops in this direction, so that the Manchurian cavalry, which had finally gathered with great difficulty, was shocked. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements from the Taiping Army, Wuerte and others also became more and more courageous, rushing to kill the chaotic Qing army again and again. Under the interference of the front and rear flanking attacks and a large number of routs, no matter how brave Ao Bai was, he was too weak to deal with this chaos and had to order a retreat.

Just when Ao Bai gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat, someone in the chaotic army suddenly shouted heartbreakingly: "The prince of Pingnan is dead, the prince of Pingnan is dead!" ”

Belle Tuntai, who was running away from his horse, was startled by this shout, and he knew that the prince of Pingnan was Shang Zhixiao, who was named the general of Zhennan by the emperor. Since Shang Kexi and Shang Zhixin's father and son were martyred for the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong, although the emperor did not directly hand over Shang Kexi's Pingnan prince to Shang Zhixiao, he tacitly accepted Shang Zhixiao's identity as the son of Pingnan. Tuntai is sure that if there is no accident in the future, Shang Zhixiao is very likely to inherit the prince of Pingnan, and there is no need to even pressure the queen mother.

The king of Sanshun made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde died in Guilin, and only one daughter, Kong Sizhen, was there, and he could not attack the king; Geng Jimao rebelled against Taiping Kou again, and heard that he had died of illness, but even if he did not die, the Qing court would no longer recognize his Jingnan prince. In addition to Shang Zhixiao, the Shang family was killed in Guangdong, it can be said that the Haicheng Shang family is now such a lone seedling as Shang Zhixiao, if he dies, the Haicheng Shang family is the real extinction, in the words of the Han people, it is to cut off the children and grandchildren.

Compared with Geng Zhongming's suicide in fear of crime and Geng Jimao's rebellion, the Shang family has a very high status in Shunzhi's mind, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the Shang family with a full family of loyal martyrs, which is why Shunzhi will acquiesce to Shang Zhixiao's identity as the prince of Pingnan and crown him as the general of Zhennan.

Ao Bai didn't know that Shang Zhixiao was dead, and even if he knew, he couldn't take care of it. Tuntai was in a hurry to flee for his life, how could he go and retrieve Shang Zhixiao's body. Besides, since the Taiping army crossed the river, there have been three Gushan Ezhen who have died in the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the two princes who died in the south.

None of the Manchurian and Mongolian generals stayed half a step because of Shang Zhixiao's death, and several generals of the Green Battalion, such as Liu Dou, the commander of Zhili, and Liu Zhaopho, the general soldier of Shandong, were also too busy to take care of themselves and had no time to deal with this matter. However, Zu Zeqing, who was also from the Han army, heard that Shang Zhixiao died in battle, and he was faintly sad. This ancestor Zeqing is the son of Zu Dashou who descended to the Qing Dynasty during the Chongzhen period, and Wu Sangui, the king of Pingxi, is his cousin. After Zu Dashou descended to the Qing Dynasty, Zu Zeqing also returned to the Qing court with his father, relying on his father's shadow and his own ability, he was repeatedly promoted, and is now the leader of the Red Banner of the Han Army.

Zu Zeqing is sad, but Shang Zhixiao is dead, and he can't do anything. From afar, he saw the banner of Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin, going to the north, and he did not hesitate to raise his whip to the north. He didn't run with Aobai, but ran with Wu Keshan.

No one cared about the death of the prince of Pingnan, the only thing he cared about was the slaves of the Liaodong family of the Shang family.

When Zu Zeqing beat the horse and ran north, when Shang Zhixiao went to Beijing, Shang Kexi distributed it to his family slaves, who were holding Shang Zhixiao's corpse and weeping and wailing. Crying hoarsely, unpretentious, like a dead parent.

Shang Zhixiao actually shouldn't have died, if he hadn't led his troops to support the Aobai Chinese army and fled north, he would have run out for a few miles. But Shang Zhixiao is a flesh and blood person, the Taiping Army has a hatred of killing his father and brother, and the hatred of killing his mother (his mother committed suicide), and also has the hatred of destroying the whole clan, as the only descendant of the Haicheng Shang family, as the son of Pingnan, the monstrous hatred makes him not afraid of the Taiping Army at all, only hatred in his eyes, and only anger in his heart.

He led the Han army to save the Chinese army of Aobai, and killed a white flag soldier who was in chaos with his own hands, and saw that he could break through the white flag soldier in front of him and join Aobai, but he didn't want to have a group of cavalry of the Taiping army rushing up behind.

Shang Zhixiao's Han army was not the elite of the Han army under the Pingnan Domain of his father Shang Kexi, but a few Niu Lu newly transferred from Liaodong a few years ago, most of them were domestic slaves under the original Sanshun Wang Domain, and their fathers and ancestors were ordinary Han people who were taken captive outside the customs during the Chongzhen period. These Han troops were also called their slaves by the Qing court, and they were originally only cultivating land in Liaodong, but due to the war in the south, the Han army's Eight Banners suffered serious losses, so they were drawn to enrich the Gyeonggi Han Eight Banners. This battle was also the first time that these Han troops went into battle, so the battlefield experience was very insufficient, and they were hit in the back and collapsed immediately.

The subordinates running around scattered Shang Zhixiao and his loyal family slaves, although those family slaves bravely blocked the Taiping army and wanted to rush over to protect their masters, but they couldn't stop the Taiping army that was roaring and slashing and killing with sabers.

When several domestic slaves finally found their master, they found that their master had died under the knife of the Taiping army. The corpse may have been trampled by a horse, and none of the bones on the body were intact, and it felt soft to the touch. And when a person with unbroken bones dies, his whole body is as hard as ice. Shang Zhixiao's head was stepped into the mud by the war horse, and his face was a little unrecognizable, if it weren't for the Zhennan general's uniform on his body, several family slaves might not be able to recognize their young master.

"Lord Wang, we can't stop you!"

A family slave thought of the scene when King Pingnan asked them to protect the second son, and cried so much. The rest of the family slaves were also in tears, crying and crying. They were saddened that with the death of the second son, there would be no incense in the Haicheng Shang family, and there would be no descendants in the Pingnan Palace. What kind of face do they, the domestic slaves of the Shang family, have to go to see the prince under Jiuquan, and to see their fathers and ancestors under Jiuquan.

"Nanban, I'll fight with you!"

A house-born slave swung a knife and rushed towards an oncoming group of Taiping soldiers, and the rest of the house-born slaves also turned their grief into strength and rushed forward with weapons. The masters are dead, and they don't want to live.

After a burst of shouting, several bodies lay in pools of blood.

Groups of Taiping troops stepped past Shang Zhixiao's corpse and rushed towards the north.

Haicheng Shang's family is dead, and he has no children and grandchildren.

There is one less family in the eight families of the Han army. (To be continued.) )
