Since Zheng Chenggong repeatedly defeated the Qing army, the Qing Dynasty also attached great importance to Zheng Chenggong. Spies and spies keep an eye on him.

As soon as he heard that Zheng Chenggong led the army to Zhangzhou, the spies immediately informed Wang Bangjun, the commander of Zhangzhou, the news.

Wang Bangjun closed the city gate early and held out.

Approaching Zhangzhou City, Zheng Jiajun's spies reported the situation in Zhangzhou City to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong heard that it was a little nerve-wracking, if he attacked strongly, even if he conquered it, there would be a lot of casualties.

Zheng Chenggong turned his head and asked Yao Qisheng: "Xizhi, can you have a plan to conquer Zhangzhou!" ”

Yao Qisheng heard this, looked down at the map and asked, "What is the name of this bridge in the east of the city?" ”

The spy hurriedly replied, "This bridge is called Jiangdong Bridge!" ”

Yao Qisheng then rode to the bridge, looked around the river, returned to the barracks and said: "General, attacking the city is the next policy, and the Qing army should be led out of the city." Five or six miles south of Jiangdong Bridge, both sides of the bank are reeds, which can be ambushed. The general can pretend to attack Changtai with a large army, and secretly let He Wenxing lead a thousand gunmen to lie on the left, and when the Qing army arrives to rescue, he will poke the general immediately; Gan Hui led a thousand swordsmen to the right, and sat down on the horse. Huang Ting ambushed 3,000 sword and shield soldiers at the bridgehead, and when Gan Hui and He Wenxing attacked, the killer would come. Killing and dispersing the Qing army, Wang Bangjun must throw himself into the path west of the bridge and escape. Yang Cai can lead three thousand rattan armor soldiers to ambush there and capture them there. Wang Bangjun is defeated, and Zhangzhou can go down without a fight! ”

Zheng Chenggong thought it was good when he heard it, so he ordered a few generals to lead his subordinates to lurk in the night to ambush.

After dawn, Zheng Chenggong ordered the soldiers to pack their luggage, and turned around shouting to attack Changtai.

Hearing the news, Wang Bangjun frowned, and said to the deputy general Wang Zhigang: "In order to encircle and suppress Jiangxi, a lot of soldiers and horses from Fujian have been transferred. Now there are only two or three thousand guards in Changtai, and I should lead the troops to rescue! ”

Wang Zhigang hesitated and said: "General, the last general is only afraid that this is a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. There were not many soldiers and horses in Zhangzhou, only more than 5,000 soldiers and horses. The general will lead the troops again, once Zheng Chenggong leads the army to counterattack, Zhangzhou is afraid that it will not be able to hold it! ”

Wang Bangjun sighed and said, "I also know, but even if I don't rescue Changtai." If Zheng Chenggong doesn't count the casualties and storms Zhangzhou, we won't be able to hold it. In this case, it is better to take advantage of the Zheng family's army to attack Changtai, and our army will send elite soldiers to attack from behind, defeat Zheng Chenggong, and have a chance to hold Zhangzhou! ”

When Wang Zhigang heard it, he also knew that what Wang Bangjun said was the truth.

The two discussed it, and in order to win a hand, it was decided that Wang Bangjun would personally lead a thousand cavalry and 3,000 infantry out of the city to attack the Zheng family army from behind.

Wang Zhigang stayed in Zhangzhou City, planted flags and scarecrows all over the city, pretending to be a guard, hoping to doubt the Zheng family's army.

Wang Bangjun was cautious and cautious all the way, and all the spies were released to monitor Zheng Jiajun from afar.

I heard that Zheng Jiajun was heading towards Changtai, and he had no intention of returning to the division.

Wang Bangjun is somewhat relieved!

Marching all the way to the south of Jiangdong Bridge, two days ago there had just been a spring rain, the water flow of the North Stream of the Jiulong River was slightly wider and more rapid than before, and the river water and all kinds of flowers and trees growing along the bank of the sloping river.

Wang Bangjun rode on the horse and looked at the green and bright leaves washed by the rain, and his dull mood became much better.

Looking at it, Wang Bangjun suddenly came back to his senses, with a thoughtful look on his face.

It's already spring, and in the woods and grass, how can there be no sound of birds singing and insects.

Thinking of a possibility, the sweat on Wang Bangjun's forehead flowed, and he raised his voice and said: "Retreat, retreat!" ”

Seeing that the Qing army was about to flee, Gan Hui and He Wenxing immediately ordered the soldiers to come out of the grass.

The spearmen hurriedly poked with their spears, and the Qing cavalry hurriedly dodged.

Taking advantage of the defenselessness of the cavalry of the Qing army, the sword and shield soldiers rolled into the cavalry and chopped the horse's hooves with their broadswords.

The horse's hooves were cut off, and he fell down with a plop. The Qing soldier wearing cotton armor on horseback was thrown to the ground fiercely, and his painful internal organs were a little displaced, and he couldn't stand up.

The few Qing soldiers who stood up were all bound by the sword and shield soldiers who came over later.

Seeing that the Qing army had been ambushed, it had fallen into chaos. Wang Bangjun knew that the defeat was decided, and there was no way to redeem it. Hurriedly led dozens of horsemen to escape on the mountain road.

As soon as the master fled, those Qing soldiers hurriedly shouted: "Don't kill!" I give up! ”

"Stop!" Gan Hui raised his right hand to stop the sword and shield soldiers from continuing to slaughter, and then shouted to the Qing soldiers: "All abandon their weapons and lie on the ground!" Violators will be killed! ”

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" The dejected Qing army hurriedly dropped its blades and fell to the ground.

Zheng Jiajun quickly came over, and a group of soldiers escorted them up.

Wang Bangjun ran for five or six miles, and was bumping into Yang Cai, who had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that there were still ambushes on the path, Wang Bangjun didn't dare to raise the idea of fighting at all, and hurriedly retreated with the remnants.

Yang Cai shouted, and all the troops went together.

The path is narrow, and Wang Bangjun wants to turn the horse's head, but it is too late.

The rattan armor soldiers swarmed up and captured Wang Bangjun alive.

Returning to the barracks with a group of prisoners and booty, Zheng Chenggong ordered Wang Bangjun to be brought up.

Looking at Wang Bangjun, Zheng Chenggong said: "Now that you have been captured, why don't you surrender early?" ”

Wang Bangjun opened his eyes and shouted angrily: "How can a loyal minister be willing to do two things? ”

Zheng Chenggong scolded: "You are a Han Chinese, how can you be loyal to the Tartars!" Surrender quickly to save you from death. ”

Wang Bangjun raised his head and scolded: "Daming treats us military attaches like pigs and dogs, and those dog civil officials, those who are insulted and beaten by the lightest. He has been favored! Although the Tartars were barbarians, they valued me and appointed me as the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou. The Manchus were kind to me, and I didn't want to be that repeated. Kill me! ”

Wang Bangjun still has the ability to lead troops to fight, and Zheng Chenggong can't bear to kill.

Yao Qisheng saw Zheng Chenggong and said softly, "General, complete his reputation!" ”

Zheng Chenggong sighed when he heard it, and ordered someone to loosen his ties, give him a gift, and behead him!

While waiting for the head to be delivered, Zheng Chenggong had his body stitched up and hidden next to the Jiangdong Bridge.

After collecting the defeated troops of the Qing army, Zheng Chenggong led the army to Zhangzhou again.

Seeing Zheng Jiajun kill under the city, Wang Zhigang's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to close the city gate, and at the same time sent a message to Li Qingtai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, hoping that he would send troops to rescue.

Before the military order was issued, suddenly a small general drew a knife, hacked Wang Zhigang to death, and shouted: "Now Wang Bangjun has been defeated, and Zhangzhou cannot be defended!" Wang Zhigang was brutal and unkind, did not know the sky, rebelled against the chaos and disregarded the safety of the people in a city, blocked the righteous army, and died in public. May I welcome the man with the surname of the country! ”

This sudden change made the generals at the head of the city stunned. When I came back to my senses, it turned out to be Longyan Liu Guoxuan.

Liu Guoxuan, word sightseeing, Fujian ****** people. In his early years, he was famous for his wisdom and strategy. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the thieves and soldiers from all over the country robbed their homes and houses, and the villagers in order to protect themselves safely, Liu Guoxuan once offered an ambush plan and personally commanded the villagers to break the thieves. Ignoring his talent as a general, he was only 15 years old at this time.

After the Qing army entered the customs, Liu Guoxuan went to join the Qing army due to family changes, and just started as a doorman, and then soon through his own talent he was promoted to the general manager of the garrison, guarding the north gate of Zhangzhou.

Zheng Chenggong established anti-Qing bases in Kinmen and Xiamen, and the momentum was huge.

Liu Guoxuan admired Zheng Chenggong's righteous deeds very much, and had long had the intention of defecting to Zheng Chenggong.

At this time, seeing that Wang Bangjun was defeated now, as long as he won Wang Zhigang, he could lead the Zhangzhou group without a leader, so that the Zheng family army could easily conquer Zhangzhou.

suddenly broke up and killed Wang Zhigang, forcing Zhang Shiyao and other Qing generals to open the door and join Zheng Chenggong.

As soon as Zheng Chenggong led the army to the city of Zhangzhou, the city gate was opened, and a small general led several generals to run to his horse and knelt down on one knee and said: "I have been waiting for a long time to hear the name of the country, and I am willing to surrender today!" ”

When Zheng Chenggong saw it, he immediately jumped off the horse happily, ran over to help Liu Guoxuan, and said, "Everyone, please get up, you can return to Ming anyway, I am very pleased!" ”

Zheng Chenggong took Liu Guoxuan's hand and walked into Zhangzhou City together.
