Although the camp of the Ming army is not too big, there are three or four miles in radius. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info time pushed forward a little further, when Zhang Yingxiang's troops moved to the east of the camp and began to intercept and kill the Ming army, the front team of Shang Kexi's headquarters had also arrived at the western edge of the camp. Not far into the camp, Jialazhangjing, who led the team, discovered the abnormality, was shocked into a cold sweat, and quickly retreated, and quickly reported that it was still gratifying.

"King Qiyu Zhishun, the last general will find an abnormality in the thief camp! I'm afraid there's something wrong with that. ”

"What anomaly?" Shang Kexi asked with a frown. To see that the big victory is imminent but there are new waves, his heart is somewhat unhappy.

"There were not as many routs in the battalion as our troops had seen in the city, and many of them were carrying such torches. One person held it, and our army looked at the city and there were five or six or even more. Jia Lazhangjing asked people to put a few special torches picked up in the Ming military camp in front of Shang Kexima, and said, "The last general specially asked people to inspect some of the dead bodies of the thieves on the ground, but they found that none of them were raised. The thief army may have taken in some of our captives, but how can it make sense that most of them have not been saved? ”

"What?" Shang Kexi's eyes widened, as if he had been hit by a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and as if the cold winter moon had been poured head-on by a bucket of ice water, and the bone-chilling chill made him almost unable to hold the reins. If this is true, what the consequences will be, he dare not imagine.

"Daniel Zhang and Shen Zhixiang are two fools! Are they all blind? Shang Kexi couldn't help but scold.

Hearing this news, Xu Erxian also looked panicked: "I'm afraid it's no wonder that Xu Shungong and Zhang Junmen are in this matter, they all chased after Pang Thief directly along the southern avenue just now." I'm afraid I don't have the time to carefully examine the situation on both sides. But the thief, hasn't the thief fled east? ”

"Say no more!" Shang Ke was overjoyed. He shouted, "Turn around and go back to the city immediately!" Then send someone to inform Zhang Yingxiang, Daniel Zhang, and Shen Zhixiang. Return immediately, we have fallen for Pang Yue's dog thief's trick! ”

Not long after the words fell, a few thunderous cannons suddenly sounded in the southeast direction, and then, the tide-like shouting and killing sound wrapped in fried beans suddenly appeared.

The only trace of luck left in Shang Kexi's heart came to naught at this moment, and he couldn't care about anything else, and yelled at the pale-faced Xu Erxian and the others: "What else is there?" Don't hurry up and turn around and go back to the city, go back to the city first......"

Before he could finish this sentence, several loud noises were heard from the north of the camp. Then there was another shout of killing.

Shang Kexi was stunned for a moment, but Xu Erxian reacted: "Protect the prince, the whole army retreats, and returns to the city!"

There was a commotion and commotion in the Qing army, and officials at all levels loudly maintained order and reaffirmed military discipline. These two rounds of artillery have cleansed the excitement and joy in their hearts, and they don't care about killing the enemy to serve the country or capture thieves to make meritorious contributions.

After sending the heralds, Shang Kexi, Sun Dingliao didn't have time to wait for Zhang Yingxiang and others to come back to rendezvous, and hurriedly changed the front team to the rear team. Follow the road you came from and retreat in the direction of the city. At this time, Shang Kexi didn't care about chagrin and remorse, he just thought about bringing more soldiers and horses back to the city to minimize the loss as much as possible.

The sky is not yet fully bright. The clouds of white gas coming out of the mouths of the rapidly marching Qing soldiers were particularly conspicuous. Fortunately, this place is not too far from the city, as long as you withdraw to the city as soon as possible, you may not be able to save your life.

But I'm afraid of something. After walking less than a mile, there was a series of loud noises and sudden shouts of killing. The front team of Sun Dingliao's department suddenly turned into a hornet's nest that was stabbed. Wailing, screaming, and scolding were chaotic.

Before he could react, there was another thunderous blast of artillery from the north. Shells rained down on the right flank of Shang Kexi's headquarters. The flying flesh has not yet fallen, and chaos has begun in the queue.

There are ambushes in the front, rear and right, and the Yangtze River on the left, which can be said to have become a desperate situation. The side that won half an hour ago became a turtle in an urn in a blink of an eye, and this kind of gap is really ridiculous.

At this critical moment, Shang Kexi gradually calmed down. He has also been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has encountered more critical moments than this in the more than 20 years of fighting, so he knows very well in his heart that the more panicked he is, the more he will have no way out.

"Don't panic, Pang Thief has always been good at tricks, and his main force is still in the east, how can there be too many ambushes here? It's ridiculous to repeat the old trick! Shang Kexi put on a calm expression again, "Tell Sun Dingliao to get through the interception of the small group of thieves as soon as possible, and then urge Zhang Yingxiang and tell him to come over and meet him quickly." The king wants to see who eats whom! ”

Seeing that Shang Kexi was so confident, the people around him were somewhat relieved. But at this moment, a wave of denser shells fell into the Qing army's formation, like a hammer, smashing out bloody pits on the originally flat queue. Some of the weak-willed soldiers in the Qing army had begun to retreat one after another, pushing each other, all kinds of flags were scattered all over the ground, and the sharp reprimands of officials at all levels looked incomparably pale in the noisy chaos.

Immediately afterwards, the shouts of killing from the north were accompanied by the scattered torches surging southward like a tide. A cavalry army with torches galloped at the forefront like a fiery dragon, and among the battle flags, on the highest side, a winged tiger was faintly visible.

Seeing this scene, Shang Kexi's already calm face also changed color again.

To explain the east of the military camp, Zhang Yingxiang did not have time to react after hearing the sound of artillery in the southeast, and the sound of artillery and shouting of killing from the north and west came one after another.

Faced with the danger of ambushes in front and behind, Zhang Yingxiang could not care about the safety of Daniel Zhang and Shen Zhixiang's troops, nor could he wait for Shang Kexi's reply, and after sending the retreat order to the more than 1,000 men and horses north of the camp, he quickly led his troops to withdraw west along the road they came. Before he had taken a few steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves faintly coming from the north, and a cavalry army that had not even raised a flag appeared in sight.

When Zhang Yingxiang saw it, his heart was relieved, and he ordered left and right: "It's good that General Wu has withdrawn." Let him hurry over and round! ”

General Wu is the general surnamed Wu who Zhang Yingxiang sent to the north to intercept the Ming army's rout, who is shrewd and quite brave. At this time, he was able to rush back in time with his people, and it was also a matter of Zhang Yingxiang's heart.

Zhang Yingxiang's personal soldiers quickly rushed over to give the order. The cavalry approached, and immediately re-erected its banner.

Unexpectedly, this re-erected flag surprised the Qing army, and it turned out to be a red flag.

"The banner of the thief army! It's a thief army! There was a panic in the rear of the Qing army.

Among the cavalry of the Ming army that suddenly came, a short and sturdy Ming general laughed on the horse: "Zhang Junmen is waiting for General Wu?" I don't know if that's it? ”

After saying that, he threw the two things over. The sharp-eyed Qing army saw that it was a bloody human head and a general flag.

When Zhang Yingxiang learned this, he was shocked at first, and then he was furious: "Who is the thief?" How dare you be so rampant? ”

The general stopped and smiled: "Grandpa is Chen Youlong of Huguang Town, and he is nicknamed the King of Wuyan!" Zhang Junmen's head must be quite heavy, why don't you stay together? "After saying that, he will kill the army.

The Qing army was caught off guard, where could it be stopped. After only a few rounds, the back line was scattered. Over there, the call for "capturing Zhang Yingxiang alive" was endless.

Zhang Yingxiang was shocked and angry, but he was in danger but did not dare to continue the battle, so he had to lead his troops to retreat desperately to the west, in order to meet Shang Kexi as soon as possible. Chen Youlong rushed to kill for a while, laughed when he saw this, and did not chase after him, but led his troops to follow him without hurry.

When Zhang Yingxiang arrived to meet Shang Kexi. The situation of the war was becoming more and more critical for the Qing army. The road back to the city was firmly blocked, and it could not be opened after attacking for a long time, but the flanks were being attacked by the Ming army in turn, and the casualties continued to rise.

"King Zhishun. Now there is an interception in front, an ambush on the flanks, and an army of thieves in the back. What to do? "In the midst of a noisy shout of killing. Zhang Yingxiang came to Shang Kexi's side and asked loudly.

Shang Kexi didn't answer. Riding on a horse, he looked into the distance with a gloomy face, like an old monk in a fixed place. At this point. He was already sure that everything that had happened before, including the so-called Yuezhou Incident, was just a trap set by Pang Yue. Although he didn't know what tricks Pang Yue had used, he had already jumped into the trap. The Ming army is short of food? Looking at the momentum of their current attack, can they be a little short of food for many days?

At this time, Shang Kexi had no remorse and anger in his heart, no fear, only deep sorrow. After all, it was the first time in his life that he had fallen on such a big fool. The reason for this is that he thinks it's just four words, and he is obsessed. That's right, I'm too ghostly and insatiable, so I ended up with such a result. If so, who is to blame?

"King Zhishun?" Seeing that Shang Kexi's face was terribly calm, Zhang Yingxiang asked tentatively again.

"What else can I do?" Shang Kexi sighed and said lightly, "When the road ahead is opened, our army will be able to return to the city." ”

"Is there anything that the last general needs to do?"

Shang Kexi didn't look at him: "It's not easy for Zhang Junmen to lead the army back, let's rest for a while." At that time, if Sun Junmen still has no results, he will bother Zhang Junmen to contribute. There was a hint of exhaustion in his flat tone.

"King Zhishun's words are serious, and the end will be terrified." Zhang Yingxiang hurriedly said, "Why don't you return to the city from the waterway first by King Zhishun?" From here to the south, you can directly get on the ship of the Jingzhou Sailor, and the thief army Sailor is weak, so he will not dare to chase too closely. ”

Shang Kexi sneered: "Now, if I can still rush to the riverside alive, then Pang Yue will not be called Pang Yue." Besides, as soon as I leave, how should the military heart be cleaned up? This situation is all because of me, if the breakthrough fails, it is natural for my Shang's head to stay here. ”

As the soldiers on the front reported the Ming army banners found one by one, Zhang Yingxiang couldn't help but gasp, it turned out that the main battalions of Huguang Town were here. "Pang Yue", "Shi Youliang" and others who had "fled" to the east were naturally undoubtedly Li Ghost. In this way, Daniel Zhang and Shen Zhixiang can only ask for more blessings for themselves.

As for the Ming army in Zhang Yingxiang's mouth, it was the 1,000 cavalry army led by Chen Youlong, who was following, and after seeing Zhang Yingxiang and Shang Kexi from a distance, they stopped after hundreds of steps and did not come forward to attack.

A member of the general was puzzled and asked Chen Youlong: "My lord, the Tartars are in chaos, why don't I come forward and give them some color?" ”

"Why do you have so many mouths? How can you understand the use of soldiers by the commander? Chen Youlong glanced at the general and said. But you don't have to be so anxious, maybe there will be a big fish waiting for me to catch soon. ”

"Dare to ask which big fish is it?"

Chen Youlong became angry when he heard it: "Then which big fish do you think Lao Tzu is?"

Only then did the general realize that there was ambiguity in his words. Hurriedly smiled and apologized: "The last general will lose his words, and my lord will forgive my sins." The last general asked. Which big fish are we going to catch? ”

"Which fish do you think is the biggest among the tartars?"

"Huh? Could it be? ”

"Just know, keep an eye on the surroundings, if you make a mistake, you can tear your big mouth." Chen Youlong stared at a pair of small eyes.

Here, Chen Youlong and the generals asked questions and answers easily. To the west, the Qing army, eager to survive, was attacking more and more fiercely. In the city, Ban Zhifu, who was responsible for staying behind, was on pins and needles.

Since hearing the first cannon shot from the southeast, Ban Zhifu secretly screamed badly, and then the shouts and killings from multiple directions made him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar. The heart said, there were thousands of precautions, but in the end, he fell for Pang Yue's trick.

And how to deal with it next also makes Ban Zhifu in a dilemma. It is obviously unrealistic to go out of the city to reinforce, the Ming army has even ambushed the main force of the Qing army, do you still care about this bit of soldiers and horses in the city? And sticking to it made him feel sorry for Shang Kexi's kindness, and besides, if Shang Kexi had an accident, he would naturally not be able to get out of it.

Just when he was undecided. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from the north of the city, which was clearer than the battlefield in the distance.

"What's going on?" Ban Zhifu's face changed greatly.

Soon, a personal soldier inquired and reported clearly: "Lord Qiyu, a thief army from nowhere actually came to the south army in front of the camp in the north of the city and pretended to be Lord Ka. tried to open the walled gate, but fortunately was spotted by the defenders. The thief army became angry and attacked instead. ”

Shang Kexi also made some arrangements before going out of the city. Although there are not many soldiers and horses left, they are not too few. Ban Zhifu led 1,000 soldiers and horses and 2,000 temporarily recruited people to garrison the city. In addition, the camps outside the east gate and north gate are also garrisoned by Zheng Siwei's headquarters. Nearly 2,000 outside the east gate and 1,000 outside the north gate. The camp was backed by the city gate. The walled wall was built all the way to the moat, and to enter the city, you must first pass through the camp.

At this time, I heard that the Ming army had touched the edge of the camp, and Ban Zhifu no longer had the intention of going out of the city to save Shang Kexi, so he hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?"

"Listen to the report of the defenders, there are no less than thousands."

"Not less than thousands?" Ban Zhifu was a little suspicious, in view of the fact that the Ming army has always been good at deception, he felt that he had to go and see it in person, "Wait for me to take a look, and tell Zheng Junmen in addition, beware of thieves pretending to be our army to seize the walled gate." ”

"Huh!"

It was Zheng Siwei who led the army to guard the camp outside the east gate, and after understanding that Shang Kexi was in ambush, he was also shocked, and his heart was like fifteen buckets of water, seven up and eight down, and even had a different thought: Shang Kexi is afraid that this time it will be more auspicious and less auspicious, I knew that there would be such a day, who would it be bad for Lao Tzu to take refuge, but he wanted to surrender to Tartar?

Someone in the city soon brought Ban Zhifu's words, and Zheng Siwei nodded after listening, indicating that he understood. Not long after, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed from the east in the direction of the camp. When they got closer, they looked at the banner and the clothes and armor of the knights on the horse, and they were all gratifying people.

"Who?" The Qing army in the camp shouted and asked.

"We are under the command of King Zhishun, please inform Zheng Junmen, the prince has an order, our army has successfully broken through and is retreating to the west, please Zheng Junmen open the gate of the village to respond."

Zheng Siwei snorted coldly secretly, did the breakthrough succeed? When I Zheng someone, am I blind and stupid? However, he didn't break it immediately, but deliberately said: "The prince has always sent Lord Wang to come, why didn't you see Lord Wang this time?"

"Oh, Lord Wang unfortunately sacrificed his life for the country."

"Shoot the arrows!" Zheng Siwei didn't say much anymore, and directly asked his subordinates to release arrows, and at the same time scolded secretly: Lord Wang? Your mother, king!

Those "Qing soldiers" were shot down by arrows, and the rest were not angry, laughed and turned their horses' heads and left.

Soon, there was a faint cheer from the east, Zheng Siwei hurriedly asked the soldiers on the tower to observe, and soon got the reward: near the camp of the Ming army, a large number of soldiers and horses were pouring in the direction of the city, and it seemed that Shang Kexi had successfully broken through.

Did you really break through? Zheng Siwei, who was scared, didn't know whether to believe it for a while.

In fact, whether Zheng Siwei believes it or not, this time Shang Kexi did succeed in breaking through. However, although it is prominent, it has suffered heavy casualties, except for the soldiers and horses lost in the battle and the broken soldiers, Sun Dingliao, Shang Kexi, and Zhang Yingxiang only have about 10,000 people left together. To make matters worse, the Ming army followed closely like a shadow after killing the broken soldiers and horses that were not enough to plug their teeth.

While hurrying to retreat westward, Shang Kexi sent a vanguard force of more than 100 people to return to the city first, and informed Ban Zhifu and Zheng Siwei to prepare for it.

The sent herald soldiers and horses quickly broke away from the brigade, and met a cavalry army of dozens of people only two or three miles away from the camp outside the east gate. Niu Lu Zhangjing, who led the team, hurriedly asked, "But is Zheng Junmen under his command?"

Unexpectedly, the leading officer on the opposite side said: "Exactly! However, my Jingzhou Green Camp has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and Zheng Junmen asked me to wait to come to tell King Zhishun that the will of heaven cannot be violated, as long as King Zhishun can get lost and return, the huge handsome will definitely open the net. Otherwise, Ban Zhifu is an example for you! The soldier next to him was carrying a human head and a helmet with a bamboo pole, and the style seemed to be no different from what Ban Zhifu usually wore.

Where is Niu Lu Zhangjing willing to be gullible? With a loud shout, he led his troops to drive the cavalry away, and rushed straight to the camp outside the east gate. As soon as he revealed his identity, he attracted a rain of arrows in the camp. Niu Lu Zhangjing, who was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, woke up like a dream, scolded a few times and hurriedly turned his horse back.

Inside the wall, Zheng Siwei looked at the back of the Qing army leaving, and his anger did not subside. Damn, three times in half an hour, are you too stupid or am I too stupid?

After receiving Niu Lu Zhangjing's return, Shang Kexi's face couldn't help twitching a few times, and Sun Dingliao and Zhang Yingxiang's faces changed greatly.

Although Shang Kexi was skeptical, the Ming army was chasing after him, and he didn't have much time to hesitate, so he had to lead his troops to continue marching in the direction of the city. When he arrived only one or two miles away from the East Gate Camp, Shang Kexi finally saw clearly, and a row of shield walls was erected more than 100 steps in front of the camp. Behind the shield wall, a group of soldiers and horses were waiting for a solemn formation, half of the cavalry and half of the cavalry, about a thousand people. Most of the people wore the armor of the Green Battalion, which was the banner of the Jingzhou Green Battalion, and there were also a small number of cavalrymen wearing the armor of the Ming Army.

Zhang Yingxiang and Sun Dingliao immediately scolded Zheng Siwei for not being a thing, but Shang Kexi frowned and didn't say a word.

In this case, if there is enough time, it is not difficult to make the right decision. Even if you can't judge it, you will know the truth when you wave the army to cover up and kill for a while. But at this juncture, Shang Kexi obviously can't be so calm. Any more delay may lead to falling back into the encirclement of the Ming army.

The rear team kept coming from the urgent news that the Ming army was chasing the soldiers, and Xu Erxian hurriedly said: "The prince should give the order quickly, the thief army will immediately surround it again."

"Continue to retreat north, and then meet with the Kada people first." After a short period of inner struggle, Shang Kexi finally made the decision to retreat north.
