Chu Suifeng asked Liu Zeqing for a power, that is, the power to build an army alone.

And if he succeeds in resisting the Tartars, he will no longer be under the control of Liu Zeqing, and will choose a place to develop in Dongchang Mansion independently, and the other party still needs to supply him with materials and equipment.

To put it bluntly, it is to make a name for Liu Zeqing and develop alone.

Liu Zeqing's face turned green when he heard this, and then he agreed surprisingly cheerfully, because he felt that Chu Suifeng couldn't pass this level!

More than 100,000 stubborn Eight Banner Elite Horsemen and 800 old, weak, sick and disabled people wearing mandarin duck battle jackets and holding inferior swords are not a concept at all, just like an elephant walking over and crushing them.

"Eight days and nine nights!" Chu Suifeng, who was riding on a gray inferior horse, muttered.

The troops led by Dolgon broke the city on the second day of the first month of the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), and it is now the twenty-fourth day of the first month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen.

He was wearing a fish-scale iron leaf armor today, the black iron leaves on his body were stacked like large fish scales, and his shoulders were covered with two iron leopard heads the size of a wine bowl.

He wears a lacquered helmet on his head, and the black copper pipe on the top is like a lightning rod standing on the roof of a building during a thunderstorm, decorated with red tassels, scattered and separated.

In his hand, he carried a nine-curved spear with a black rod, the length of the spear was one zhang and one zhang, the head of the spear was like a snake, the tip was sharp, the two sides were thin, and the whole spear head was more than a foot long.

This was also the main weapon of horse warfare in the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Lu Xiangsheng's knife technique is not bad, using a good Jiuqu gun, Chu Suifeng has won the true inheritance of the other party in the past few years, and he has studied and added the points, piercing, winding, turning, and hitting the number of points of the throat gun in later generations, and it has become more and more exquisite after the actual combat.

It's just that the bad horse under the crotch is cold, with skin and bones, and the color of the coat is messy, and if you don't look carefully, you think Chu Suifeng is riding a big gray donkey.

He kept walking by the depressed Ming soldiers, wearing felt hats and mandarin duck battle jackets.

The dark red mandarin duck jacket was dull in color, the collar horns were raised, and patches were all over the corners of the clothes and pants, and some people had torn and unmended flocculent cotton on them, and they were floating in the cold wind.

They were in their fifties, with snow-white sideburns, deep wrinkles, empty eyes full of confusion, and gray beards dancing messily in the cold wind.

The little one is fourteen or fifteen years old, her thin figure looks like a girl who has just entered junior high school, her wide mandarin duck jacket flutters in the wind like an inflated balloon on her body, and she timidly carries a red tasseled spear taller than herself, and her face is covered with indescribable desolation.

This is the 800 elite soldiers that Liu Zeqing gave him!

It was worse than Lu Xiangsheng's situation back then, at least he was still young and strong, and many of the soldiers wore inferior cotton armor covered with copper nails and iron plates, and now they were simply a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

Chu Suifeng glanced back at the tall and majestic city wall of Dongchang Mansion in the bitter cold wind, the suspension bridge had been hung, and there were many black shadows standing under the banner of the city tower.

Chu Suifeng knew that there must be Liu Zeqing and Yao Wenchang in it, and he must be sarcastic and sarcastic at this moment, but he didn't care.

Licheng must not be lost, otherwise the blow to the Ming Dynasty is self-evident.

After hundreds of years, Shandong's vitality could not be restored, so he had to stop the Qing army from conquering the city no matter what, but this seemed to be an impossible task.

With him and his men eight hundred weak?

Chu sighed with the wind, pointed the spear in his hand to the sky, and roared loudly.

"Swear to kill Hu Lu and restore my homeland!"

After roaring, he grabbed the inferior horse by his legs, and the horse raised his front hooves and barked a few times, and then ran forward.

Liu Zeqing and Yao Wenchang were looking at the smaller and smaller backs of the group of people outside the city wall on the gate tower of Dongchang Mansion at the moment.

"Chu Suifeng, which play is this singing?" Liu Zeqing asked with a puzzled expression as he stroked the pitted arrow stacks on the city tower.

At dawn, the other party formed a team and led the soldiers who had been assigned weapons and equipment yesterday out of the city.

Liu Zeqing, who got the news, hurried to the city gate building to see, he was a little puzzled and a little incredible.

According to the law, the other party should push back and not go, he has never seen such a neat and crisp general, just do what he says, and lead the troops in the afternoon and leave the next day.

Shouldn't the officials of the Ming Dynasty all be tired and tired, and they want everything but their faces?

Liu Zeqing is also covered in a full body today, wearing a blue satin copper nail copper leaf armor, a palm-sized heart guard on his chest is shining, this cotton armor is full of copper nails, and iron leaves are inlaid on the shoulders, chest, thighs and other vital positions, which looks like a cotton coat.

Several generals around him are also dressed in the same way, this is the cotton armor often worn by the Ming army, also called cloth armor.

This kind of armor existed in the Mengyuan period, and after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was equipped with a large number of troops, and gradually became the most popular standard equipment in the Ming Dynasty army.

The forbidden army in Beijing is mostly chain mail fish scale armor, and the nine-sided army is dominated by cotton armor. The cotton armor that was once commonly equipped in the Wanli Dynasty is now quite rare in the army.

The helmet is of iron, with a layer of lacquer on the outside, a beam on the front and back of the helmet, a beam on the left and right, and a piece of eyebrow covering protruding in the middle of the forehead, on which is a dancing spear and a bowl, and the bowl has a helmet plate shaped like a wine cup, and in the middle of the helmet is a brass pipe for a tasseled spear, a carved feather, or an otter's tail. Now the copper pipe is stuck in a cluster of bright red tassels. The back is a sky-blue silk collar, neck and ear guards, embroidered with patterns and embellished with copper bubble nails.

The whole armor is sky blue, and the copper nails on it are polished and shiny brass, and the inside is hard and fastened with a large number of iron pieces. It is roughly divided into three parts, the chest and back armor, the shoulder armor, and the armor skirt.

The chest armor is similar to a sleeveless blouse, the shoulder armor is shorter, only up to the elbows, and not below the elbows.

The armor skirt was very long, hanging almost all the way up to the ankle or so just an inch or so. The front chest of the cotton armor, the shoulders and shoulders, and the left and right sides of the armor skirt are all embroidered with exquisite beast patterns.

Matching the armor is also a cyan drag, which is worn inside.

The Qing army fighting against them is also the same cotton armor, but the other party's is thicker and more durable, like the one Liu Zeqing is wearing now, with heart goggles on the back of the chest, and the process has also been improved.

Cotton armor was popularized in the Qing army, usually aha cloth was worn cotton armor leather armor, while infantry armor and horse armor wore better forging armor and chain mail, not to mention white armor and generals, it was excellent armor.

The Ming army was wearing a mandarin duck jacket like a cloth coat after cutting corners, and there was no protection at all.

This is also one of the important reasons why thousands of Ming troops were chased by dozens of cavalry Qing soldiers everywhere.

Liu Zeqing has a very heavy armor, but it was worn during the war, weighing seventy or eighty pounds, and this seventeen or eighteen pounds light armor was worn when patrolling without war.

The black iron helmet on his head was trimmed with gold edges, and the red silk silk on the tip hung down like chopsticks.

On his feet was a pair of all-black cowhide boots, the scarlet cloak was blown back by the wind, and the sword given to him by the new governor was specially hung from his waist, and the whole person looked extremely energetic.

"Dashuai, what else can he sing? In despair, I just shouted twice. The generals behind him laughed as they looked at the increasingly blurred military flag in the distance, and the mockery on their faces was very obvious.

These people don't have any enmity with Chu Suifeng, but he was promoted too quickly, which made these generals who couldn't be promoted to the next level in a few years very unhappy, and they felt very relieved to be able to tease each other at this moment.

Liu Zeqing had dealt with Chu Suifeng, and knew that the other party must have a deep meaning in doing this, so he turned his head and asked Yao Wenchang, who was full of ridicule.

"Wenchang, what do you think?"

Xu is the wind on the head of the city is too strong, Yao Wenchang, who has always dressed as a scribe, is now wearing an earthy yellow fox fur, and he laughs like a weasel at first glance.

Yao Wenchang arched his hand at Liu Zeqing, then moved a few steps forward, leaned against Liu Zeqing, and looked at a few black spots in the distance, as if Chu was in the wind, and the two black bean-like eyes flashed with a shrewd light.

"This person seems to be boosting morale, but the army has no will to fight, and it is useless to be good. This person, this trip, will die! ”

Liu Zeqing nodded slightly, one hand stroked the thin beard on his chin and squinted his eyes proudly.

Those soldiers are all eliminated soldiers from various departments, and only more than 300 people are young and middle-aged or some stubborn people like thorns, as Yao Wenchang said, Chu Suifeng will die on this trip.

Just as he was thinking, the ant-like black dot team in the distance began to shout one after another, and the whole team suddenly became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the high-pitched slogans were endless.

Seeing this scene, the generals at the head of the city closed their mouths one after another, not understanding how Chu Suifeng did it in such a short period of time.

At this time, the red sun secretly peeked out of half of his forehead from the horizon, and the golden light in the sky was red all over the sky.
