Gu Junen frowned and said, "Hong's head is shaved, so it's better for us to avoid it for a while." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Military advisor, this Hong shaved head is one of the murderers of Gao Dashuai, since he came to Longzhou to find us, then we will fight with him, we have been in Longzhou for nearly two months, the terrain is more familiar than them, and we have been resting for several months, if we don't fight, I'm afraid we can't hold a knife, and everyone hates this Hong shaved head, and wants to avenge Gao Dashuai, the location and people are on our side, so I decided to fight with him to relieve hatred." Li Zicheng said in a firm tone

The reason why Li Zicheng wants to fight this battle is to show his determination to avenge Gao Yingxiang, so as to better win over Gao Yingxiang's original subordinates, so that Gao Yingxiang's subordinates will be more attentive to him, and his reputation will be better in the future. You can settle down and continue to develop.

That morning, with the sound of whining trumpets, the two armies slowly approached.

The governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, walked out of the array, raised his whip and pointed at the peasant army opposite, and said loudly: "Tell Li Zicheng to come out and speak." ”

"The surname is Hong, Lao Tzu is out, if you have something to say, you can say it, and if you have a fart, let it go." Li Zicheng spoke, patted the horse and walked out.

After staring at this old opponent for a few moments, Hong Chengchou said: "Li Zicheng, I heard that you have carried the banner of the thief Gao Yingxiang again, and claimed to be the king?" ”

"Not bad. Indeed it is. Li Zicheng said coldly.

Hong Chengchou said with a threatening tone: "The Ming Dynasty has a net of heaven and earth, copper money and iron walls, but it is not so easy to break through, you don't take the old road of Gao Yingxiang, I advise you to dismount and surrender." The old man does not treat you badly, and he can appoint you with the post of general. ”

"Don't dream about it, you want me to dismount and surrender, unless the sun comes out of the west." Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou looked at him and knew that it was useless to say more, so he sneered: "Okay, since you insist on going to the road of death, then I will fulfill you." After saying that, he turned his horse back to the battle.

Soon, the war drums of both sides "dong dong" sounded......

"Catch Li Zicheng, reward 10,000 taels of silver, kill it......" Zu Kuan shouted loudly, slapped his horse and danced his knife and rushed up, and the three thousand Guanning cavalry rushed forward like a whirlwind.

"Kill the dogs, officers and soldiers." Liu Zongmin shouted, brandishing a big axe and flying horses to meet him, and there was a clanging sound of swords and guns and screams, and dozens of cavalrymen fell to the ground.

"Kill the rogue! ......" Zuo Guangxian, Ma Ke and the two shouted loudly, clapped their horses and spears and took the lead in rushing over, the scorpion block and the sky star came up, and for a while only the sound of swords, guns, swords and halberds and the screams of the soldiers were injured, the scene was extremely chaotic, full of a strong smell of blood.

After a scuffle for an hour, suddenly people shouted horses neighing, cannons rumbled, it turned out that Cao Bianjiao and Sun Chuanting's reinforcements arrived, and the two supporters came from both sides of the battle formation.

Because Li Zicheng was also one of the culprits who killed Cao Wenzhao, the enemies were very red when they saw each other, and Cao Bianjiao waved his troops directly to Li Zicheng's Chinese army. The martial arts are strong, the three armies of the Yongguan ride a yellow horse, hold a 30-kilogram iron spear, dance the spear across the horse, unstoppable, brave and abnormal, Li Guo and other generals of the army can not resist, and they have retreated. Seeing this, Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat, and the peasant army around him who was fighting with the official army also retreated.

"Li Zicheng, take your life to ......" Cao Bianjiao shouted wildly, brandished a big gun and rushed over, the gun stabbed the horse and kicked the horse, and soon killed a bloody road, this time the peasant army from retreat to rout, seeing this, the morale of the officers and soldiers was greatly boosted, the attack was more ferocious, and one by one the peasant army was stabbed to death by knives and guns. It had not been long since many peasant soldiers picked up their swords and guns, and when they saw that the officers and soldiers were so fierce, they could not help but be afraid, and they dropped their swords and guns and turned around and fled in all directions.

"The rogues are defeated! The rogues were defeated. The officers and soldiers shouted and chased after them.

After Li Zicheng's army was defeated, he led his troops to retreat to Qingyang and Fengxiang to avoid Hong Chengchou's soldiers.

In December of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally conquered Korea in the name of Korea's non-compliance with the covenant, and the conscripts included Prince Hao Ge of Su, Prince Dolgon of Rui, Prince Duoduo of Yu, King Geng Zhongming of Huaishun, Kong Youde of Gongshun Wang, Shang Kexi of Zhishun Wang, Wuzhen Chao Haang Bangzhang Jingma Guangyuan and Shi Tingzhu. Together with Dolgon, the emperor entered the Changshan Pass from Kwandian, conquered Changju, and defeated the Korean soldiers at Anju. He sent a general to defeat the Korean reinforcements, and the army reached the village of Xuantun, where the villagers said: "The garrison of Hwangju has been on fire for three days when he heard that the king was trapped in Namhansanseong and sent 15,000 soldiers and horses to rescue him." Hearing this news, Hauge led the Qing army to march for a day and night, chased to Taoshan, defeated the Korean soldiers, and later captured the Korean fortress of Namhansan.

After more than a month of marching, the Loyal Brigade finally returned to Ji'an in the first month of the tenth year of Chongzhen.

It's been six or seven months since I left my hometown, and everyone misses their loved ones very much. In order to make preparations for the family, Zhao Guohua sent Niu Huan and a few soldiers to Ji'an Mansion to inform.

"Our Volunteers are back! Our Volunteers are back! Niu Huan and a few soldiers galloped on horseback, shouting loudly, their faces full of pride and pride. The people on the road heard the good news and hurried back to tell those who had relatives who served as soldiers in the Volunteer Corps, and soon, the city of Ji'an became a sensation.

Under the arrangement of Meng Liangchen, the prefect of Ji'an, and Chen Sheng, the military commander, early the next morning, colorful flags fluttered at the city gate, and the welcoming crowd lined up. The leader is the prefect Meng Liangchen and Bingbei Dao Chen Sheng, followed by Tang Zhengming, Jinyiwei Baihu of Ji'an Prefecture, Lu Dacheng of Ji'an Qianhu, Song Zhong of Yongxin County, Master Niu Decao, and Wang Tiehan, the head catcher, and then Sun Yiping, Sun Fu and other personnel of the chemical workshop, as well as the families of many volunteers.

"Lord Chen, this Captain Zhao is really a general, and he defeated the Tartars in Zhuozhou, which greatly increased the prestige of my Ji'an Jian'er." Prefect Meng Liangchen said with a smile on his face.

Chen Sheng, the soldier, also said with a smile: "Yes, now this volunteer brigade has been given the name of the Daming Loyal and Brave Corps, and Captain Zhao has also become the Zhao Admiral of the Zhengwupin, or is it General Wude........."

Song Zhong, the magistrate, Niu Decao, and Wang Tiehan, the head catcher, were also smiling when they heard it.

"Look, here they are. Ah, a lot of horses. I'm afraid there aren't tens of thousands of horses. The crowd exclaimed.

The loyal and brave corps came in a neat queue, with cavalry on both sides, and a neat infantry of four people in the middle.

Zhao Guohua Pegasus walked to the front and waved his hand: "Stop advancing." At the sound of an order, the team stopped.

'Salute to my hometown! Zhao Guohua said, turned around, and took the lead in raising his hand to salute the welcoming crowd.

Thousands of hands were raised neatly, and a solemn and solemn atmosphere came to the face, and the people were stunned at once, and the people who spoke couldn't help but stop talking and laughing.

"Finished." Zhao Guohua said and put down his hand.

Bingbei Dao Chen Sheng walked up, grabbed Zhao Guohua's hand, and said excitedly: "General Zhao, you are a good soldier, and you are worthy of the loyal team that has defeated the Tartars." ”

"General Zhao, let the soldiers enter the city." Ji'an Governor Meng Liangchen said with a smile.

Arching his hand to Meng Liangchen, Zhao Guohua turned around and waved: "Enter the city." So the brigade went in

That night, in the city of Ji'an, fireworks shine, the sound of firecrackers, the whole city is immersed in joy, everywhere is the celebration of the crowd, large and small taverns and restaurants, overcrowded, there are many loyal members and family members in the tavern restaurant will narrate the process of the big Tartar in Zhuozhou, the speaker is happy, the people are excited, not the exclamation of "fight well, fight well".

After entering the city, after the discipline was announced, Zhao Guohua gave the team members in Ji'an Mansion a day off, so many of the team members went out to eat with their families.

The prefect's yamen was also full of laughter and joy, prefect Meng Liangchen, Bingbei Dao Chen Sheng, Yongxin County magistrate Song Zhong, master Niu Decao, Jinyi Wei Baihu Tang Zhengming, Zhao Guohua, Zhang Shun, Cheng Chong, Lu Qing and others sat together with cups and plates, and recounted the events of the past few months while drinking, and heard that Meng Liangchen and others in the palace were amazed for a while.

The same thing happened in the barracks of the Loyal Warriors, where other officers of the Loyal Warriors drank with the officers of the Ji'an garrison, and talked about the war in Zhuozhou while drinking.

In Liu Wanshi's mansion in Yongxin County, Yang Degui, Liu Wanshi, Huang Kui, the owner of "Hundred Flowers and Silk Shop", and Chen Bing, the owner of "Four Seas Restaurant", also drank together, but they had a sad face and drank stuffy wine and bitter wine.

"Brother Yang, Zhao Manzi has been lucky with shit this shit, and he was transferred to the north to fight with the Tartars, not only was he not killed by the Tartars, but he also became an official, and he also got a large number of war horses, which is really infuriating." Liu Wanshi said indignantly, and after speaking, he grunted and dried the wine in the cup.

The wine was a good wine that he had usually drunk, but at this time, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth, and he couldn't help frowning.
