Tu Hai is not a reckless soldier with courage and no strategy, not to mention, there is also the assistance of Zhou Peigong? What Wang Fuchen thought, Zhou Peigong thought about it one by one earlier. When they came to Longdong and the last two hundred miles from Pingliang City, they walked for six days, and only walked more than thirty miles every day, so that the soldiers and horses could get enough rest and recover their bodies, so that they could have enough bodies to fight after receiving the enemy.

As soon as the 22,000 army plus the 4,000 cavalry of Horqin arrived at the edge of the Jinghe River, Zhou Peigong immediately ordered the whole army to immediately set up camp and bury the pot to cook. The officers of each battalion sent sentries to look out, defend according to the district, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded. As soon as the order came out, military camps were set up on the banks of the Jing River. When it comes to this position, there is nothing to say next, if Wang Fuchen decides to resist, it will inevitably be a big war, and there will be no result if you don't fight to the death. However, at this time, the Qing army only had ten days of grain and grass in the army, and if Pingliang City could not be taken in a short time, the result might really be as expected by Wang Fuchen, and the whole army would be defeated.

In Pingliang City, Wang Fuchen heard a report from his subordinates that the Qing army had set up camp by Jingshui, so he brought Gong Rongyu, Huang Jiuchou and other generals to inspect the south bank of the Jinghe River. At the same time, a cavalry of more than 1,000 people was led by his trusted general Huang Bai to cross Jingshui to the north bank to ambush. Wang Fuchen quickly came to the Jingshui River, and saw that the military camp in Tuhai on the north bank was impressively exposed, and the two wings were flat-headed along the river for about ten miles, and he couldn't help but be surprised. From afar, I saw a group of soldiers on the other side of the river surrounding Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong, and they were also peeking at their own camp. Pointing and looking at Tiger Pier from afar. He immediately shook his hand. shouted loudly: "General Tu, don't come unharmed? Wang Fuchen, please be here for peace! ”

"Oh! It's a harrier! The last time we met, we were still guessing boxing and drinking together, and we didn't want to go for a few years, but today we actually met each other, and the world is really changeable. See the big flag behind me? This time, the emperor named me the general of Fuyuan, and you should understand the meaning of this meaning. If Brother Wang can abandon the army to make peace and join the court, he can still enter the title of marquis. When the country is employing people, don't make mistakes! Brother, I have already prepared lamb wine here. I just hope that my brother can come over and drink and have fun again! ”

Wang Fuchen was expressionless at first, and then said with a slight smile: "Hehe, General Tu, do you think I have any other choice today?" This battle is a must-fight, and you should understand the reason for it, let's go back and see each other! ”

"Wang Fuchen! Today, long live the people of the world as the dry city, but you Wang Fuchen want to cut off Pingliang as a prestige, you ignore the suffering of the people, drive more than 40,000 tired soldiers, leave home and go west, demolish the people's houses for the barracks, and sell the people's women to fill the military salary. In this way, you have the courage to overlord. It's hard to get rid of Wujiang's self-slaughter! At this time, General Tu surrendered with good intentions, don't be ignorant! Hasda, the general beside Tu Hai, couldn't bear it at first, and couldn't help but curse loudly.

"Humph! What kind of thing are you! After speaking, Wang Fuchen waved his hand, and then the arrows behind him shot towards the north bank of the Jing River like locusts. At this moment, as soon as the trumpet rang out in Wang Fuchen's camp, Zhenwei's general Huang Bai led more than 1,000 cavalry ambushed thousands of miles away upstream to leap across Jingshui from west to east and rush to Tuhai's left battalion.

Huang Bai's action was planned by Wang Fuchen, and he wanted to use this elite cavalry army under his command to explore the reality of Tuhai and try the ability of the Qing army in front of him! The soldiers of Tuhaizuo's battalion suddenly saw the cavalry of the opposing brigade waving long knives and shouting with red eyes and rushing over, but they did not resist, but got up one by one, scattered and fled, leaving the wooden village that had just been built and leaving it alone, and letting the enemy soldiers push and burn it, and rush into a mess.

Although Huang Bai smashed a Qing camp smoothly, because he failed to kill the generals, he was still lacking in heart, so he led the army to the east and attacked the camp of the Tuhai Army. As soon as Nazhi approached the camp, he heard a cannon sound inside, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and dozens of war horses at the head were shot down, and a group of military horses behind them jumped wildly and neighed and refused to move forward. Huang Bai thought that after the rain of arrows, the Qing army must have cavalry to come out to fight against him, but after waiting for a long time, seeing that the other party was still shooting fiercely, he thought that the enemy must have marched so quickly, and he did not dare to meet the battle.

However, just as he continued to give the order to charge into battle, the Chinese army camp in Tuhai suddenly opened the door, and then three thousand cavalry rushed out and copied it in three loaves of bread. The two sides were already very close to each other, and at this time, they were handed over quickly. The red sun slowly slanted westward, and the iron horses were vertical and horizontal on the battlefield; The horses neighed incessantly, and the swords shone brightly as they swung their swords. And the air was also full of yellow sand, and the ground was full of blood. The earth-shattering shouts of killing, the war drums and horns, and the cheering shouts of the infantry made the nearly 1,000 people led by Huang Bai tremble, and in only a quarter of an hour, the battlefield was restored to its original calm.

The 3,000 Horqin cavalry defeated the 1,000 cavalry of Wang Fuchen's ministers in terms of both numbers and combat power. Such an ending is also in Zhou Peigong's calculations, when he saw Wang Fuchen appear on the south bank of Jingshui, he was already paying close attention to the surrounding situation, and it was this caution that made him discover the cavalry that had been ambushed in advance, and he just happened to destroy it all. Wang Fuchen didn't have too many cavalry under his command, and the total number was only more than 4,000, and he lost a quarter of it at once, which was really distressing. But there was no way, no matter how angry he was at this point, he had to grit his teeth and retreat to Pingliang City

Night fell, and the Jing River was still flowing, making a sound of water flowing in the dark night. The camp of the Qing army stretched for more than ten miles, and the stars and lights flickered in the dark night...... Occasionally, there was one or two trumpets and the sound of a beater in the barracks, which was particularly terrifying in this uneasy night. Suddenly, the fire flashed in the lower reaches of the Jing River. The trumpet battery is large. Huang Jiuchou personally led two thousand fierce cavalry. Whirring. Shouting, he rushed to the left flank of the Qing army.

At the same time, the commander-in-chief Deng Meng also led 10,000 troops and horses to leap across the upper reaches of Jingshui like a tide and attacked the right flank of Tuhai. The rockets with the sound of the hammer shot like a meteor, and the fire was blazing, and the wolf smoke was billowing and burning the tent. The grain and grass were burned, emitting red, yellow, blue, and purple flames, reflecting the mysterious night sky. Fly ash after the tent burns. As the northwest winds dispersed, the air was filled with a thick smoke of gunpowder.

Just when Huang Jiuchou and Deng Meng rushed into the Qing army camp with their men and horses, the cannons of the Tuhai battalions also sounded. With the sound of cannons, the ground shook and the mountains shook and shouted, and at the same time they came from all directions. The left, right, and middle battalions are from the north to the west. With a dense array of torches, they rushed to the front village for reinforcements. Wang Fuchen, who was ambushed in the middle of the road, saw that the lure was successful. Greatly excited. He shouted: "Brothers, life and death, fight here, rush!" While shouting, he turned over his horse and led his subordinates to rush into the Chinese army camp in Tuhai.

Things were not as smooth as Wang Fuchen thought, when he rushed into the Qing army camp, only to find that the brightly lit Chinese army tent was empty! At this moment, a military academy hurriedly ran to report: "Junmen, it's not good, General Huang and General Deng are surrounded by Qing soldiers!" ”

"Ah, isn't the army in their rear camp going to reinforce the front wing?"

"No, the lanterns and torches we saw just now are all fake, and they are suspicious soldiers deliberately made by the Qing soldiers!" When Wang Fuchen heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, and he was tricked again. He wanted to give the order to retreat quickly, but there was no time for this. This is a big game of chess played by Zhou Peigong's painstaking subordinates, how could Wang Fuchen withdraw his troops back lightly, only to hear an earth-shattering cannon sound, thousands of torches were lit around, illuminating both sides of the Jing River as if it were day. The 26,000 Qing troops and the Mongolian Horqin cavalry surrounded the overwhelming area, dividing Wang Fuchen's soldiers into several pieces at once, and then surrounded them in groups.

In the firelight of the night, Tuhai, who was in gold and silver armor, jumped on his horse with a horizontal sword and stopped Wang Fuchen: "Ha...... Harrier. Get off the horse early and surrender, I remember the friendship of the year, and I will play for you in front of the saint and let you live. ”

Wang Fuchen didn't answer, roared and urged the horse to kill the past, he was still the horse harrier of the year, and a phoenix-beaked knife was invincible. The guards and soldiers around him also protected Wang Fuchen, rushing left and right, and killing forward. Wang Fuchen was able to kill, and he just wanted to rush out of the encirclement as soon as possible and join forces with Huang Jiuchou, Deng Meng and others. But no matter where he went, there was always a sword tree in front of him. At this time, everyone's fate was hanging by a thread, and only the desperate fight to break out of the encirclement had a way to live, so Wang Fuchen and the soldiers around him played with their lives and finally let them fight their way out.

The battle was fought fiercely during the night. On both sides of Jingshui, corpses and bones are everywhere, and blood flows like rivers. More than 8,000 were killed and wounded, more than 5,000 surrendered, and Deng Meng also died in the chaos. Wang Fuchen escaped with his life, so he had to close the gate of Pingliang City and never dared to fight again. Tu Hai and Zhou Peigong took advantage of the victory and waved their troops to surround Pingliang City.

This Pingliang ancient city, according to Liupan in the north and Longshan in the south, has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. The tall city walls are all made of large stones of one color, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The tiger pier in the north of the city is even more dangerous. From a distance, it is nothing more than a mound, shaped like a crouching tiger, but when you look closely, you can see that it is across the river from the city wall, surrounded by steep walls like knives, with a platform dug out in the middle, and a cave connecting it. The guards fired arrows from above, and the lower side could not get close. The highest part of this tiger pier is a flat land of half an acre square, with a stone building in the middle, and a cloud ladder behind the building is connected to the city.

Tu Hai led his men and horses, rushed and fought hard for seven days and seven nights, but as a result, he lost his troops and lost his generals, and he gained nothing. At this time, the morale of the Qing army, which had been gathered at the beginning of the victory, also fell into a slump, and more importantly, the Qing army was about to run out of food! As the commander of the whole army, Tu Hai was anxious to lead the charge himself, but was stopped by Zhou Peigong.

"Don't be impatient in the military gate, you can't think of a clever plan to attack the tiger dun, it's the same for everyone. There's another plan here, get a good night's rest tonight, and you'll be able to take it tomorrow. Hearing Zhou Peigong's assurance, Tu Hai followed Zhou Peigong back to the camp sullenly.

Zhou Peigong's clever plan is the red-clothed cannon, he is not like the ordinary Qing army generals who don't look down on firearms at all, but he attaches great importance to these big guys, at the beginning of the letter to the Qing court to ask the Ordnance Bureau to transport the red-clothed cannons to him, these thirty red-clothed cannons marched slower than them, and they finally marched slowly for six or seven days, plus now it has been a full delay for half a month before these cannons catch up.

"Pei Gong, are you talking about these things? This thing is used as a cannon to listen to during the festival, this is used to siege the city, and it is used to manage a bird! Tu Hai said to Zhou Peigong with an unhappy face, if it weren't for Zhou Peigong's idea that worked again and again, he would have thrown his face a long time ago!

"General Tu, don't worry, it's not too late to judge after you see the effect!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the back and ordered, "Ready!" ”

"Ignition!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

Only one round of shelling, the Pingliang soldiers on the tiger pier were killed and wounded, and Wang Jizhen on the tiger pier was also taken aback, and when he went out to investigate, he saw that his subordinates were killed and wounded, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's over, I'm dead!" ”

Seeing that the cannon was successful, Tu Hai praised it even loudly, and then did not delay, and commanded the soldiers to set up a ladder and attack the tiger pier. Wang Jizhen was also seriously wounded and captured in this battle, but his serious injuries were only stunned by the aftermath of the artillery bombardment.

Tuhai still remembered that the cannon was powerful, so he ordered the red-clothed cannon to be pulled to the top of the tiger pier, condescendingly, and the muzzle of the cannon was directly facing the city.

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

"Tom tom!"

There was a continuous artillery fire, and the third was that the shells flew out, and there was already a fire and a cry in Pingliang City. He shouted excitedly: "Okay, good, blow up this thief city!" Look at him if the horse harrier dares to surrender! ”

He was about to give the order to let the gunner continue to fire, but Zhou Peigong stepped forward and stopped him: "Junmen, don't fight anymore." ”

"Ahh Why? ”

Zhou Peigong explained: "There are not only rebels in this city, but also 40,000 people, our army has looted a lot of civilian property when it was in Chahar, and now, the soldiers are staring at the city with red eyes. Slaughter the city again, even if you win, you will inevitably be guilty! ”

"Whoa! This is a war, how can you be kind. Tuhai said unhappily.

"Junmen, now we are fighting, slaughtering the rebels and people in this city, and the emperor will also give us an official and a knight, but when the world is peaceful in the future, people have long forgotten how we fought bloody battles today, they will only remember that the two of us wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in Pingliang City with a cannon fire! If there are villains who slander us, who will protect us at that time? I'm afraid that at that time, in order to block the mouth of the world, the emperor will have to take you and me"

Tu Hai is not stupid, this one will understand. After a long pause, he asked, "Then what do you say to do now?" ”

"Junmen, now we are in a good shape, if we can use this shape to force Wang Fuchen to conclude an alliance with the imperial court under the city, it will be of great benefit to the surrender of Wang Ping Domain and the stabilization of the situation on the Western Front, so I am ready to enter the city and say that Wang Fuchen will surrender with a three-inch tongue!" Zhou Peigong said categorically.

"Ahh How can this work, Wang Fuchen's head and rat at both ends, I must not let you take this risk! Tuhai was shocked when he heard this, and immediately denied it.

"The love of the military gate is admired in my heart. But at the moment, I am strong and the enemy is weak, and Wang Fuchen has only one way to die except to surrender. Besides, we must take Pingliang before the rebels in Guizhou. The soldiers are fast, and they can't be too late. I'll go into town tomorrow morning. Please ask the general to fire two more cannons at the back of the sparsely populated governor's office in the city tomorrow afternoon, and help me succeed!" In addition, please send an order to the military gate to let the besieging troops in the east of the city retreat to a distance of five miles. ”

Early the next morning, Zhou Peigong rode a horse to the east gate of Pingliang and called the city: "Hey! The sergeant in the city listened: I am Zhou Peigong, the deputy general of Fuyuan in the Qing Dynasty, and I have something important to discuss with General Wang Fuchen, so open the city quickly! ”

The guards at the east gate received a report from the military academy on the city tower and immediately sent someone to inform Wang Fuchen. After a while, the city gate creaked open, and Zhou Peicheng was about to hit a horse into the city, but he saw a horse suddenly galloping in the distance. A man in his thirties immediately bowed his hand to Zhou Peigong and said, "How about you and I enter the city together?" (To be continued......)
