Chapter 122: The Battle of Xinfeng (8)

Jiaodong saw that he was furious, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to pursue Tieqi Town, and before he could chase a few steps, the archers and musketeers of the Zheng family army who caught up knocked down hundreds of Eight Banner cavalry in a few volleys.

Seeing the ironclad army at the front, Jiaodong could only drink fiercely, "Withdraw!" ”

Seeing that the Eight Banners cavalry had withdrawn, Wang Qibang came again with the iron cavalry to kill.

The Eight Banners cavalry was protecting Tan Tai's central army, and the Iron Cavalry Town went to rush to kill the Qing army's rear army, or wander around to kill deserters.

The originally exhausted Qing soldiers were rushed and killed by the Iron Cavalry Town in a hurry, which was even more chaotic.

Those Qing soldiers didn't know who to follow, and they didn't have the courage to fight, so they all scattered and fled, each caring for their own lives.

Although Geng Jingzhong and the others still had the heart to fight again, they were coerced by the Qing soldiers who were scattered and fled, but they couldn't help but not run.

Heluo would hurry to Tan Tai's side and say, "My lord, the pursuers behind are getting closer and closer, what should I do?" ”

Tan Tai replied angrily, "What else." Run away and shake off your pursuers! ”

"My lord, if you don't arrange for the queen of the palace, resist the pursuers for a while. It's only a matter of time before we get caught up! Tan Tai whispered, and at the same time looked at Hu Yisheng with his eyes.

Tan Tai thought for a while, nodded violently, and shouted loudly, "After Hu You's ascension to the palace, the others will break through!" ”

Seeing that there was danger, Tan Tai immediately abandoned Hu Yousheng, the general who had surrendered after entering the customs, hoping to use these surrenders to protect the Manchu soldiers and Liao soldiers.

Hu Yousheng heard the drastic change in his complexion, opened his mouth to argue, and saw Tan Tai's cold eyes.

"The last general commands!" Hu Yousheng gritted his teeth and said unhappily. There was anger in his lowered eyes.

Lao Tzu desperately defended Ganzhou, tried his best to stop Jin Shengheng and Li Chengdong, and made immortal achievements. You bastards dare to treat me like this!

Hu Yousheng turned his horse, turned his head and galloped to the rear, raised the war knife in his hand, and roared angrily, "The one behind, follow me and block the thief army!" ”

Under the coercion of the Qing soldiers. More than 1,000 Ganzhou soldiers helplessly followed Hu Yousheng and stayed behind to prepare to meet the Zheng army.

Seeing that the soldiers dared to stay to stop him, Wang Qibang roared angrily and was about to open the killing ring.

I saw Hu Yousheng suddenly throw away his weapon, kneel on the ground and drink: "I am willing to surrender!" ”

"Bang...... ......"Don't say anything, Hu Yousheng will say anything." The Qing soldiers of Ganzhou, who had lost all their fighting spirit, simply threw away their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Wang Qibang, who was wielding a big knife vigorously, almost flashed his waist when he heard this, so that he didn't fall off his horse.

Wang Qibang hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse. looked at Hu Yisheng with a bitter face. and the soldiers behind him, who drank: "Put down your weapons and wait here!" ”

After saying that, Wang Qibang led the cavalry to bypass them and continued to kill the fleeing Qing army. These surrendered soldiers were taken into custody by Huang Ting and others who followed later.

Relying on Zheng Chenggong's timely assistance, Li Chengdong got rid of the fate of the city being ruined.

Repelled the Qing army, and many soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but fall to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Your Excellency. You see! Du Yonghe pointed to Zheng Jiajun, who was shouting in unison in the distance, and said to Li Chengdong.

"The Master of the Tigers!" Li Chengdong's eyes shot a different color. Nodding slightly, he said, "It can be called a rare tiger master!" ”

Du Yonghe sighed and said, "Being able to train such a heroic teacher, no wonder Zheng Cheng's function has repeatedly defeated the Qing army!" ”

When Li Chengdong and Du Yonghe were talking, Zheng Chenggong came over with several generals.

"If it weren't for the help of Zhang Guogong, our army would be ......in danger of this battle," Li Chengdong, who was slightly embarrassed, bowed and saluted, and sincerely thanked Zheng Chenggong, who had just arrived with the army.

"It's an alliance, why say thank you!" Zheng Chenggong waved his hand.

"I'm ashamed ......," Li Chengdong said.

Gan Hui came over and said, "General, Tan Tai led tens of thousands of remnants of the army to retreat north. General Wang is chasing and killing with the Iron Cavalry Town! ”

"Hui Guogong, with the situation of your army. I'm afraid it's not time to fight anymore! Zheng Chenggong nodded, turned to Li Chengdong and said, "The matter of pursuing the rebellion of the Qing army will be handed over to our army!" ”

Li Chengdong said, "There is Lao Zhangguogong, Li is waiting for Zhangguogong to return!" ”

"Hui Guogong, it is important to catch up with the defeated Qing army. Ming Yan took his leave first! After Zheng Chenggong gave a slight salute, he led Gan Hui and the others to turn around and leave.

Looking at the figures in the distance. A look of pain and helplessness suddenly appeared on Li Chengdong's face.

Before, Li Chengdong sent Shang Jiu to hunt down Huang Ting, so that Huang Ting had no good impression of Li Chengdong, and was even a little bored.

Walking away, Huang Ting, who was in charge of the bow and arrow battalion, said with a smile: "General, I didn't expect Li Chengdong to be so embarrassed, the 70,000 army, plus the soldiers and horses left behind in Guangzhou, now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses left!" Huang Ting's words were tinged with a bit of schadenfreude.

He Wenxing said with a smile. "Li Chengdong's three surnames are domestic slaves, capricious, and his subordinates are except for his righteous son Li Yuanyin. And there is one who is willing to support him sincerely. After this fiasco, this person is just a fool? ”

Yao Qisheng shook his head and said, "Our army needs Li Chengdong, an ally, to help our army share the pressure of the Qing army." The difference in strength between our army and Li Chengdong's army was too great before, and I was afraid that after the defeat of the Qing army, Li Chengdong had other ideas. intended to let the Qing army consume Li Chengdong's army, but he didn't expect him to suffer such heavy casualties. Now that the plan can't keep up with the changes, it seems that he has to think of another plan......"

Hearing Yao Qisheng say this, Zheng Chenggong could only smile helplessly. War is like that, it is never fought by human will!

Five days later, the defeated Qing army led by Tan Tai finally rushed to the outside of Ganzhou.

The Qing army's journey can be described as extremely difficult, the mountains and hills blocking the way are secondary, and those Zheng Jiajun who riot all the time are the most fatal.

At any moment, thousands of black slaves wearing underpants will suddenly burst out of the woods and hills, screaming and throwing spears, shooting and wounding the Qing soldiers.

When Tan Tai sent troops to fight back, the black slaves immediately fled into the forest and hid.

Those black slaves climbed mountains and mountains like flat land. Coupled with the abundance of physical strength, the exhausted Qing soldiers could not catch up with them at all.

When the Eight Banners cavalry was sent to pursue the black slaves, the Iron Cavalry Town, under the leadership of Wang Qibang, came up like a pack of wolves to bite the Qing army.

After a few days of hard escape, one-third of the soldiers of the Green Battalion Army were left behind or directly deserted privately.

Before the expedition, there were 170,000 Qing troops, and in the end less than 50,000 returned to Ganzhou alive.

Heluo would come to the city with a knife and shout, "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

"Who is shouting under the city?" A majestic voice rang out from the top of the city.

He Luohui frowned, looked up, and saw a Ming general appear on the city gate tower.

"Who are you?" He Luo would ask in dismay.

"Nanping Zheng Chenggong!" The young man smiled gently, "Waiting for you!" ”

Zheng Chenggong stood on top of the city tower in the wind, showing a cheap smile, wearing armor and holding Yao Qisheng's paper fan and shaking it gently, no matter how you look at it, it feels weird.

"What?" Heluohui's face changed drastically, and his body shook and he could barely stand.
