Chapter 120: The Battle of Xinfeng (6)

March 9, at dusk.

After eleven days of siege, Li Chengdong's army has been sharply reduced to less than 10,000 people.

The Qing army still had nearly 100,000 troops, and in the face of the Qing army, Li Chengdong's army was disheartened and lacked fighting spirit, and if it had not relied on Li Chengdong's prestige, I am afraid that it would have been completely dispersed.

Li Chengdong stood in the north tower of the county, looking at the east, silent, there was no trace of blood on his handsome face, and his eyes showed incomparable fatigue. A breeze blew, and a few strands of snow silver exposed outside the battle helmet were gently swayed......

Waiting for the lieutenant general to stand quietly in the rear, no one dared to disturb Li Chengdong without authorization.

Li Chengdong looked at the Qing army outside the city, and said to himself, "The Ming Dynasty originally occupied most of the south of the Yangtze River, but I led the troops to conquer it. I didn't expect that I would return to the Ming anyway later. Hahaha, there is no more impermanence in life than this! Yangzhou 10th, Jiading three massacres...... He doesn't know what the world thinks of me Li Chengdong? ”

Hao Shangjiu didn't know how to answer, so he was silent.

The Qing army camp outside Xinfeng City, the main generals of the Qing army are there.

"Xizuo has just reported that Zheng Chenggong led the Zheng family army north, as if he wanted to attack Fuzhou!" Geng Jingzhong reported the latest news to Tan Tai and others.

Tan Tai said, "It seems that Zheng Haikou wants to take the opportunity to capture Fuzhou and occupy a province in Fujian!" ”

Geng Jingzhong said: "Look at the situation, it seems to be like this! ”

Tan Tai sighed and said, "That's it, just let Zheng Haikou be arrogant for a while." The generals will listen to the order, and when the day dawns, they will attack with all their might, and tomorrow at noon, I will definitely see Li Chengdong's head. ”

"Yes, Servant Order!" The glue merchant and the other Qing generals hurriedly knelt down and drank.

……

In the morning, the well-fed Qing soldiers shouted and killed Xinfeng at the rapid sound of drums.

After fighting fiercely for half an hour, Hao Shangjiu shouted urgently, and ran to Li Chengdong's side in great strides.

"Hui Guogong! The Qing army is attacking the city in a hurry, and the brothers are almost unable to withstand it! My lord, quickly flee out of the city and go to Guangzhou with the last general! ”

Hearing the calyx letter, Li Chengdong was in a state of confusion and suddenly became at a loss.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, ......!" Hao Shangjiu called anxiously.

Li Chengdong came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "No, you must not escape, you must resist me no matter what." “

Hao Shang hurriedly said: "My lord, it's still ......"

Li Chengdong drank: "Go and ......"

Hao Shangjiu sighed, turned over and continued to kill the enemy.

Seeing that more and more Qing soldiers had attacked the city, Tan Tai waved the handsome flag in his hand and shouted. "Herald, in an hour I will enter this city!"

"Toot ~ Toot ~!" The sound of the bull's horn battle horn sounded quickly, long and passionate.

Under the urging of their respective officials, the Qing soldiers accelerated their speed and killed Xinfeng City.

The Ming army, which lacks soldiers and major generals, can no longer support it!

Wu Zhi Bo Yan Keyi, who guarded the north gate, took the lead in abandoning his soldiers and escaping from the south gate on horseback, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Ming army.

Soon, some soldiers followed Qi Ming's example, abandoned the battle and fled to the south.

Hearing that Yan Keyi had fled, Li Chengdong's eyes were red, and he scolded angrily. "Shaft, it's so harmful to my army!"

Seeing that the Qing soldiers had poured into the city, Tan Tai shouted excitedly: "Kill in, and those who capture Li Chengdong alive will be promoted to one level and rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!" ”

Hearing that there was a reward, the Qing soldiers bravely went to the city.

It's no wonder that the Qing soldiers are so excited, all along, after breaking a city, the first few days have been allowed to be killed and plundered by these Qing soldiers.

At that time, whoever grabs it will be whoever's, and it is important to have fast hands and slow hands, and they do not rush into the city with all their might.

When the time comes, the silver will be held in her arms, and the woman will play casually, and she will be a soldier for so long, that is, this time is the happiest and happiest time.

The entire Qing army fell into a state of madness, fantasizing about how to vent their beasts and desires when they entered the city.

Tan Tai, Geng Jingzhong, Shang Kexi and other Qing soldiers also rode their war horses and walked slowly towards the city, ready to wait for their own soldiers to offer the best women and the most precious treasures for their own play.

Just when the Qing army was ecstatic and Xinfeng fell into hell, the long and passionate battle horn suddenly sounded from the southeast of the battlefield.

Hearing this drum beat, Tan Tai was taken aback.

The Qing army under his command is all here, and there are no other soldiers and horses.

Who is this army that is about to arrive? Qing army? Ming army?

Soon the Qing soldiers saw clearly who the soldiers and horses were killed, and the flag bearers in the vanguard of the 5,000 cavalry were carrying a large flag fluttering in the wind - the rebellious general Zheng

Looking at the big Zheng character, Tan Tai immediately reacted and roared: "Damn, didn't the spies report that Zheng Haikou was attacking Fuzhou?" How did they get here! ”

Seeing that half of the Qing army was attacking the city, and the other half was hurrying to rush into the city, Zheng Chenggong said to Yao Qisheng with a smile: "It seems that Brother Yao's plan has succeeded!" ”

It turned out that in order to confuse the Qing soldiers, the soldiers and horses that attacked Fuzhou were all composed of 40,000 Zheng sailors led by Lin Xishan.

Let them really attack the city, Zheng Chenggong is naturally not allowed, for the current Zheng Chenggong, the water master is more important.

But it's okay to just besiege Fuzhou, so after besieging Fuzhou for so long, the Zheng family army has never attacked the city.

In order to confuse the Qing army, Lin Xishan also pretended that Zheng Chenggong sent someone to persuade Zhang Xuesheng in the city to surrender.

The real Zheng Jiajun army is sneaking day and night, marching across the mountains and mountains to hide in the mountains and forests of Xinfeng.

In order to get the best time, even at the most dangerous moment of Xinfeng, Zheng Jiajun did not dispatch.

It was not until Xinfeng City was breached and the Qing army was in chaos in order to run into the city to rob the formation that Zheng Chenggong ordered an attack.

Looking at the Zheng Jiajun who was getting closer and closer, Tan Tai shouted wildly: "Beat the drums and gather to meet the battle!" ”

Tan Tai also wanted to reassemble the Qing soldiers to meet the Zheng army, but unfortunately the Qing soldiers in the city all wanted to rush into the city to rob, and the Qing soldiers in the city ran away in order to rob.

There will be no soldiers, and no soldiers will be found.

That is, when the general's personal soldiers heard the order, they organized some soldiers and horses in the chaos.

Tan Tai saw that he was busy and ordered Geng Jingzhong to lead these soldiers and horses to attack and fight, and was ready to delay for a while, so as to gather the scattered soldiers and horses.

It's a pity that Zheng Chenggong won't give them a chance, and he gave an order.

One hundred and ten artillery pieces under the guidance of Song Yingxing and supervised by Feng Chengshi were powerful.
