Lu Xiangsheng led the troops to take advantage of the night to quietly march towards Jiazhuang, and the Qing army on the opposite side was already exhausted from today's fierce battle, and he didn't notice it for a while. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was an hour later that Dolgon learned that Lu Xiangsheng's troops had already withdrawn. Dolgon was furious and ordered the whole army to assemble and catch up with Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng led his troops into Jiazhuang, a small village with more than 100 households. The people who had already woken up came out one after another, worried that it would not be the Tartars. At first glance, this army is a Ming military uniform, all of them are covered in blood, the corners of their mouths are blistered, and their steps are empty. They have been listening to the sound of fighting and artillery fire all day, could it be that this team is the Ming army that fought with the Tartars during the day today?

Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei walked in the front of the team, "Disturb the folks!" "Lu Xiangsheng hugged his fist" The official Lu Xiangsheng fought fiercely with the Tartars, and the soldiers were tired and wanted to be stationed here to rest. ”

"Huh? It's the Governor of Daminglu! And all the people said one after another. At this time, a student walked out of the people, knelt down and said, "Student Yao Dongzhao greets the governor!"

Lu Xiangsheng helped Yao Dongzhao up and said, "Yao Shengren is exempt!" The soldiers of this governor have been hungry and thirsty for many days, but can they have food to replenish our army? ”

Yao Dongzhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng dressed in filial piety clothes, his face was thin, the corners of his mouth were chapped, and he cried bitterly, "Ming Gong led all the soldiers to kill thieves for the country, and we and other people should give everything they have at home to comfort my Ming soldiers." ”

The rest of the people in the village knelt down on the ground and shouted, "We are willing to offer food to comfort my Ming soldiers." ”

Lu Xiangsheng was moved to tears, bowed down and said, "Okay! Good! On behalf of the officers and men of our army, this governor has thanked all the villagers!"

At this time, Yang Tinglin was in the Jiming Post less than five miles away from Jiazhuang, and he was worried, this was the third time he asked Gao Qiqian to send troops to rescue Lu Xiangsheng. But Gao Qiqian just refused to send troops.

"High Prison Army! If you don't send any more troops, I'm afraid the Governor will no longer be able to support it, and these 5,000 soldiers will be wiped out! Yang Tinglin shouted urgently.

Gao Qiqian replied slowly and methodically, "Yang joins the army, and this prison army knows that you are in a hurry. But didn't this prison army say it a long time ago, this is the Tartars' plan to lure the enemy, what should I do if my army is ambushed by the Tartars halfway? Besides, there are 5,000 Tartars watching over us! As soon as I send out my army, these five thousand Tartars will surely kick my camp. ”

"Lord Overseer!" Yang Tinglin said angrily, he had lost his patience, "The purpose of this Tartar's main force is to target Governor Lu, you are afraid of the scheme, now is not a good opportunity, the Governor is inside, and the prison army is attacking in two directions, how can the Tartars be undefeated?" Besides, the overseer came out of the nest to join the governor, what do you want this rooster to do? ”

Guan Ning Counselor Zu Kuan, who was on the side, nodded and said, "Senior Supervisor Army, what General Yang said is reasonable. If the overseer is not at ease, the last general is willing to lead 3,000 iron cavalry to defeat the 5,000 Tartar cavalry who are monitoring our army. "Zu Kuan also listened to Lu Xiangsheng's errands, after all, he was his old boss, and Zu Kuan was also worried about Lu Xiangsheng's safety.

Gao Qiqian snorted coldly: "General Yang only cares about the safety of Governor Lu, but doesn't he care about the safety of my 30,000 soldiers?" What you say is only an assumption, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there should be no recklessness. ”

Yang Tinglin was so angry that he shouted, "Gao Qi dive, you are afraid of the enemy!" I will be impeached by the court of the book! ”

Gao Qiqian was annoyed and said angrily, "Yang Tinglin, don't rely on the fact that you are Lu Xiangsheng's henchman, you dare to be rude to this prison army, come, drive him out of the tent!" ”

A few pro-soldiers rushed in outside the account, and they were about to take Yang Tinglin, Zu Kuan hurriedly said, "Senior Supervisor, please calm your anger!" I'll wait until tomorrow. ”

Gao Qiqian waved his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat, and glared at Yang Tinglin, "General Yang, this matter will be discussed tomorrow." ”

Yang Tinglin walked out of the account in disappointment, crying out, "Supervisor, the last general is incompetent!" ”

In the middle of the night, Yang Tinglin tossed and turned in the tent, always worrying about Lu Xiangsheng's safety. Suddenly, he heard the sound of fighting from the camp of 5,000 Qing soldiers five miles east of the rooster station, and he ran out of the barracks to take a look, and saw that the camp of the Qing soldiers was in flames, and Gao Qiqian and all the soldiers also came out to watch. I wondered in my heart, "What happened to this Qing army camp?" Could it be that there are reinforcements from the imperial court and are attacking the Tartar camp? ”

This is exactly the 2,000 Hengzhou cavalry brought by Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang to attack the Qing army camp at night, Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang hurried slowly, and finally approached Jimingyi in the middle of the night tonight. This way, fortunately, Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang received strong support from all the states and counties, and the treatment of Lu Xiangsheng's department was very different, and the military and political chiefs of the various states and counties saw that even the princes of the imperial court had gone on the expedition, knowing that the situation was serious, they hurriedly rushed to replenish the food and grass for the Hengzhou army, and the horses of the Hengzhou cavalry were changed batch after batch, so as not to delay the marching speed of Zhou Renyuan and his party.

When approaching the Jiming Station, the sentry detected that there were 5,000 Qing cavalry camped on the east side of the Jiming Station to block their march. Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang decided to pull out the nail, so the two agreed to surprise attack the Qing army camp, two thousand Hengzhou cavalry horses, people and grass quietly approached the camp, and then turned over and rushed straight to clear the barracks tent, cut people when they saw them, and set fire to the camp tent when they saw them.

Leading the 5,000 cavalry was a Qing army's Jia Lae Zhen, who was Dolgon's henchman Amba Dalin, and was named Baturu by Huang Taiji. Awakened in his sleep, he ran out of the camp tent in disheveled armor, only to see that the camp tents were burning one after another, and his horses and his soldiers were in disarray. He rolled over and shouted, "Get on my horse!" Get on the horse! ”

Where can the soldiers under his command take care of their war horses, and the red figures behind them are waving their sabers constantly towards their companions, and the screams are endless.

A few of the warhorses turned over and took up their weapons and rushed towards the Ming army, waiting for them to either sharp crossbow arrows or lead bullets from the firearms. Ambadalin saw with his own eyes that one of his strongest cavalrymen was beaten into a sieve by firearms, and that was his own wrestling champion! The most terrifying thing is that this Ming army has this black mask on its face, just like the god of death, harvesting the lives of its own men without saying a word.

"Where did this Ming cavalry come from?" Ambadalin didn't have time to think, raised his broadsword and slapped his horse and rushed towards the Hengzhou cavalry, shouting in unskilled Chinese, "Shameless Ming dog, but someone dares to fight me!" ”

I only heard a "flutter", a sharp arrow pierced his throat, and Zhou Renyuan, who was wearing gold armor, put away his big bow and smiled at Wu Xiang, "This Tartar general also said that we are shameless, and this king will shamelessly show him today." ”

Wu Xiang also smiled and said, "The prince is good at archery, and he has the style of General Han Chaofei!" ”

Zhou Renyuan waved his hand and ordered, "Immediately clean up all the fish that have slipped through the net and march towards the Chicken Song Station!" ”

Half an hour later, Yang Tinglin heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards the rooster. I was surprised in my heart, "Why, the five thousand Tartar cavalry have been defeated in such a short time?" ”

Gao Qiqian also put on his armor and ordered the military division to be on guard, I don't know where the imperial court reinforcements came from, is it really the reinforcements sent by the imperial court?

I saw a red cavalry galloping towards his camp, "What people?" The camp sentry shouted nervously.

"By the emperor's order, King Yongming and Wu Xiangjun came to take over the army, and didn't they ask Gao Qi to sneak out to greet them?" Shen Tieshan held the holy tat and shouted outside the camp.

When Gao Qiqian heard this, he hurriedly ordered to open the gate of the camp, and Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang, who were dressed in gold armor, led the troops into the camp, and the two thousand Hengzhou cavalry behind them followed murderously.

Gao Qiqian bowed down and was about to speak. Yang Tinglin on the side shouted, "Governor Lu is in the enemy formation, and his situation is critical!" I hope that the prince and Wu Junmen will send troops to the rescue soon! ”

"What?" Zhou Renyuan was shocked, could it be that he was still late, and shouted, "Who are you?" What is the situation of Governor Lu now? ”

Yang Tinglin rushed forward and reported to Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiangyu what had happened in the past two days. "Pity our army has been fighting with the Tartars all day during the day today, and now that the cannonfire has stopped, Governor Lu and my other soldiers don't know whether they are alive or dead!" Yang Tinglin said and finally cried bitterly.

Gao Qiqian scolded: "This big battalion is here, where is the way for you, the general, to speak?" Talking nonsense, disturbing the morale of the army, and not retreating! ”

"Wait!" Wu Xiang on the side said, "Raise up and dive to receive the order!" As he spoke, he took the holy decree from Shen Tieshan's hand and read, "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the supervising army is high and the hidden yang is in disobedience, cowardly and fearful of war, and state affairs are like child's play, disrespecting the general's orders, and immediately removed from the post of supervising the army, and waiting for the criminal detention on the spot, and the army under his jurisdiction is commanded by Wu Xiang, and the king of Yongming is the supervising army." Chin this! ”

After listening to this, Gao Qiqian fell to the ground and trembled.

Yang Tinglin, Zu Kuan and other generals shouted "Long live!" Banzai! Banzai! ”

In the big tent, Zhou Renyuan and Wu Xiang sat in the position of the main general, and the rest of the generals stood at the bottom to listen to orders.

"What is the configuration of this army now?" Wu Xiang asked.

Zu Kuan is Zu Dashou's servant, and Wu Xiang is Zu Dashou's brother-in-law, so he immediately stepped forward and replied, "Hui Dashuai, in addition to the 3,000 Guanning iron cavalry of the last general, there are still 3,000 cavalry, 20,000 foot soldiers, 5,000 fire gun archers, and 20 artillery pieces. ”

After listening to Zhou Renyuan, he whispered a few words in Wu Xiang's ear, Wu Xiang nodded and said, "Generals, saving people is like fighting fire, now this commander orders." General Zu's 3,000 cavalry, another 2,000 cavalry from the battalion and 2,000 Hengzhou cavalry brought by him, led by the superintendent Yongming Wangye, immediately set off to support Governor Lu. Ben Shuai led a thousand cavalry and the rest of the foot soldiers as the rear army! The army is immediately ready to go! ”

At this time, Jiazhuang was already surrounded by the Qing army.

Lu Xiangsheng was discussing with Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei, "Two generals, our army is besieged here, I'm afraid we have to break through!" Fortunately, the soldiers had eaten and drunk enough and regained their strength, otherwise they would have been killed! ”

"Inspector, why didn't the senior superintendent army bring troops to support?" Yang Guozhu asked.

Lu Xiangsheng frowned and sighed, "If he wanted to come, he would have arrived a long time ago!" ”

"What? This senior supervisor army actually watched the overseer and the officers and men of our army fall into the hands of the enemy? Hu Dawei was puzzled.

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly and said, "You, you can only fight." I don't know how to go in and out of officialdom. ”

Hu Dawei went around his head and said, "The last general is dull, and I ask the superintendent to make it clear." Even Yang Guozhu poked his head out curiously.

"Well, today is the end of the day, and the Governor will speak for you." Lu Xiangsheng sighed, "Why does Gao Qiqian repeatedly oppose this governor? That's because he wanted to force the governor to withdraw his troops so that he could make peace with the Tartars. ”

"Peace? The Great Tomorrow is full of holes, and it is not a way to negotiate peace with the Tartars. Hu Dawei said timidly.

"You really don't understand it," Lu Xiangsheng didn't blame him, and chuckled, "Then how did Inspector Yuan die?" Didn't he pretend to negotiate peace with Huang Taiji, was caught by the ministers of the court, and was finally escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market in the capital with a thousand cuts? If Bendu does this now, he will become the second Yuan Chonghuan! ”

Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were silent and nodded. said in his heart: "Inspector Lu is really too difficult! ”

"Okay, tell the soldiers to rest until the early hours of the morning and prepare to break through." Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

In the early hours of the morning, when it was just dawn, Dolgon and Yueto were sleeping in the big tent, when suddenly there was a burst of cannons, and Dolgon sat up sharply and shouted, "It's not good, Lu Xiangsheng wants to break through!" ”

At this time, in Jiazhuang, Yang Guozhu led 1,000 people for the left army and broke through to the east, Hu Dawei led 1,000 people to break through to the west for the right king, and Lu Xiangsheng led the remaining 2,000 people to break through from the middle. Lu Xiangsheng held a big knife in his hand, rode on a horse and shouted, "Soldiers! The time has come to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and go out with Bendu! Kill the Tartars! Kill the Tartars! ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison, "Kill the Tartars!" Kill the Tartars! He picked up his weapon and pounced on the Qing army on the periphery.

A tragic scene began, this time surrounded them by Qing soldiers and iron cavalry, no longer Mongol soldiers. They were equipped with sophisticated armor, and at the same time, a rain of sharp arrows shot at the Ming troops who rushed towards them one by one, but the Ming troops were not afraid of death, stepping on the corpses of their comrades in front of them and pounced on the enemy formation.

A Qing soldier Niu Lu carried a mace on a horse and waved it wantonly, the surrounding Ming soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, a Ming soldier saw this, jumped up and threw the Niu Lu to the ground, hugged him tightly and rolled around on the ground, Niu Lu also used his thick arm to strangle the back of the Ming soldier and suffocated, the soldier felt that his chest was suffocated, and suddenly opened his mouth to bite Niu Lu's throat, and he didn't let go, Niu Lu hit the soldier's back with his fist in pain, and one hand touched the dagger in his boot, A knife pierced the back of the Ming soldier's heart.

As soon as he pushed away the corpse of the Ming army on his body, he let out a painful scream, it turned out that his throat was bitten out of a big blood hole, and the Niu Lu sat on the ground again with a grunt and fell to the ground and died.

And such a scene, as long as there is a Ming army, the same thing is happening everywhere.

When the weapon was gone, they used their mouths, hands, feet, and helmets, as long as everything that could hurt the enemy was used by the Ming soldiers.

When Dolgon and Yueto saw these scenes in the rear army, their faces turned pale and murmured, "It's terrible, these are not people, they are devils!" ”

Lu Xiangsheng rode a horse and brandished a big knife to slash the Qing army in the enemy formation, the white filial piety clothes on his body gradually dyed red, and the guards around him became fewer and fewer. Suddenly, a sharp arrow hit his left chest, Lu Xiangsheng gritted his teeth and broke the arrow, shouting "Kill!" ”

An hour later, the Ming troops who had broken through on three roads were forced back. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were both covered in blood, and Hu Dawei's war horses were all killed!

"Overseer, we might as well join forces to break through! This gives you a better chance of breaking through!" Hu Dawei said breathlessly.

"Alright! Join forces in one place and break through to the middle. Lu Xiangsheng said.

Now there are less than a thousand soldiers left behind them, Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu are carrying spears in front of the way, and the Qing cavalry have been stabbed off their horses by two spears, but the Qing cavalry behind them continue to rush towards them.

Lu Xiangsheng kept wielding a big knife, and the Qing soldiers who cut them fell off their horses one after another. But the Qing soldiers knew that this was Lu Xiangsheng and wanted to capture him alive, shouting, "This one in white is Lu Xiangsheng!" Capture Lu Xiangsheng alive! Capturing Lu Xiangsheng alive" More and more Qing soldiers flocked to Lu Xiangsheng.

Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng's situation was critical, Hu Dawei opened a bloody road, ran to Lu Xiangsheng, held Lu Xiangsheng's war horse, and shouted, "Supervisor, follow me closely, I will help you kill out!"

Lu Xiangsheng hit the back of Hu Dawei's hand with the back of his knife, shouting, "If you don't let me die on the battlefield, will you let me be captured and die in Xishi?" After saying that, he snatched the reins and pounced on the enemy camp, and slashed and killed several Qing soldiers.

Dolgon sighed, "It's impossible to capture Lu Xiangsheng alive, let go of the arrows!" ”

A rain of arrows shot straight at Lu Xiangsheng, Lu Xiangsheng brandished a big knife and desperately blocked the rain of arrows, only to see a few flying arrows penetrate his waist and thighs, Lu Xiangsheng was in unbearable pain, and the big knife in his hand was no longer able to wield, and the Qing army on the side immediately rushed up and slashed at Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng fell off his horse dripping with blood, his helmet fell to the side, he struggled to support his body with a big knife, and shouted, "I hate it!" Daming, I, Lu Xiangsheng, have been loyal to you today! I can't kill you anymore! As he spoke, he fell to the ground with a bang.

The moment Lu Xiangsheng fell to the ground, he seemed to feel that his old mother in Jiangnan was calling him, "Jiandou (Lu Xiangsheng's words), you should go home!" ”

A generation of famous generals finally fell on the land of Jiazhuang, which is thousands of miles away from home!
