Zushantou, located in the east of Haicheng Shuitou, was originally a hill on the side of the official road. (Like this book, please collect biquge.info) There was originally a red rolling temple built in the Wanli period to worship the Emperor Dao Gong of Baosheng, but due to the implementation of the boundary order in the early years, it has been abandoned for many years. However, now this abandoned small temple is surrounded by more than 30,000 Qing troops who could not advance or retreat because of the fall of the water head.

Among them, there are the local green battalion soldiers in Fujian, the Guangdong green battalion from Chaozhou, the Mongolian Eight Banners stationed in Fuzhou, the Eight Banners of the Han Army that went south with the Pingnan General Ta Lai, and even the Manchu Eight Banners, which are known as the nobles of Tianhuang and the national Jueluo.

The camp is full of fighting, and from time to time there are Qing troops looking for camps during the shuttle and patrol, a scene of slaughter before the big war. The silence did not last long, however, when it was broken by the sound of horses' hooves.

The Qing army in the patrol camp subconsciously pulled aside to hide, but before he had time to fix his eyes on who was so bold, he felt a gust of wind passing by his identity. It was only then that the frightened minions saw that it was a few dusty, sweaty riders beating their horses and passing over their heads.

The Qing troops patrolling the camp spat on the ground angrily, but saw that the riders rushed straight into the camp tent of the Chinese army where Duan Yingju, the supreme commander of the whole army and the commander of the Fujian Army Division, was raised. Knowing that something was wrong, they subconsciously looked at it for a while, only to see that a moment later, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers rushed out with fire.

"The Zheng army barbarian has arrived." The foreign commissar of the team leader blurted out the general manager, and after finishing speaking, his face changed greatly and swept around, fortunately, there was no one on the side, otherwise he might have his head cut off because of shaking the morale of the army. "What are you doing in a daze!" The general who escaped death didn't have time to congratulate his good fortune, so he hurriedly scolded his subordinates who didn't know what to do. "Don't continue to patrol the camp yet"

On March 18, early in the morning, the thin morning fog had not completely dissipated, and the gate of the Qing army's ancestral mountain camp, which had been closed for several days because of Liu Guoxuan's attack, finally slowly opened.

Several rows of cannons and guns were fired at each other, and the two sides fought together. The frontal troops of the Zheng army were led by He You, who had made meritorious contributions, and he personally went into battle, flashing left and right, and killed the Qing army several times in a row. Seeing that the Zheng army was menacing, Duan Yingju mobilized his troops to make up for it, and because the Zheng army had few soldiers, the Qing army gradually gained the advantage.

"Kill!" He You, wielding a big knife, slashed to death a Qing army commander who advanced forward, and then strangled the war horse under the crotch, and the horse body stood upright in the roar, and occasionally avoided the spear stabbed by a Qing army, and then the iron hooves fell, and the person's head was trampled into a puddle of rotten watermelons with a thousand catties of force.

"General!" He You's personal guards killed him from the rear, covering the main general who had rushed forward to retreat slightly, and when He You retreated to a relatively safe place, one of the personal guards reported. "Liu Junmen was reluctant to call in the army to reinforce the headquarters, and also said that he would either ask the general to die in battle, or he would escape."

"Liu Guoxuan, this is a radical general." He You gritted his teeth and smiled. "If you run away again, Lao Tzu can't afford to lose this person, and I'm sorry for the king." Speaking of this, He You took a deep breath. "You're not afraid of death." Without waiting for his subordinates to respond, he urged the war horse. "If you are not afraid of death, kill the Tartars with Lao Tzu, kill!"

Like a mad tiger, He You rushed back to the battlefield with a small number of personal soldiers, and his actions inspired the courage of the Zheng soldiers around him, and really stopped the momentum of the Qing army's direct advance in one fell swoop. However, the Qing army invested three times as much as the Zheng army in the middle line, and the high morale could not change the current situation of insufficient troops, so the Zheng army soon had to fight and retreat to the Chinese army after the remnants of the remnants of the light were exhausted.

"Congratulations to the military gate, congratulations to the military gate, there is no suspense in this battle." Duan Yingju's subordinates saw the momentum of their own step-by-step approach, and couldn't help but rush to the main general. "Although Liu Guoxuan's reputation is famous, it seems that it is not more than Erer now, the military gate is defeated in a battle, and the emperor will definitely reward him the next day, and the military gate should not forget his subordinates."

"Well said, well said." Duan Yingju also squinted his eyes proudly, secretly wondering in his heart whether this victory could be exchanged for a hereditary title, and then he thought about how to protect this military merit, what aspects still need to be taken into account, and how much benefit he and his faction can gain from it, but thinking about it, it does not prevent him from allowing empty favors. "As long as you win this battle, this official will definitely give the emperor the credit of Minger and others, hard work, and it is easy to say."

"Junmen, something is wrong!" But there was a lucid moment in the dream, and when Duan Ying was drunkenly making many promises, news came from the wings that frightened him. "Liu Guoxuan sent Jiang Sheng and Wu Shu to attack left and right, the left-wing Guangdong Green Battalion has collapsed, and the right-wing Fuzhou garrison Eight Banners is almost unbearable."

"Quick, quick, let Hui'an Town immediately reinforce the left flank, and transfer Shao Wuzhen and the Eight Banners of the Han Army to the right flank."

Duan Yingju was still in a hurry to deal with it, Liu Guoxuan didn't give him a chance to breathe, seeing the chaos in the rear of the Qing army, Liu Guoxuan personally led the elite of the headquarters to rush over, just a slight stab, Zheng Jun dented the formation of the Fujian Green Camp that had already formed a breakthrough.

"He Laosan, do you still have the strength?" Liu Guoxuan's horse's head passed over He You, who was covered in blood, and when he saw that his former peers were so wolfish today, he asked with a wicked smile. "If you still have the strength, you can kill it with Lao Tzu, if you can't bear it, then take care of yourself and go back to rest."

"Liu Wuping, you will take advantage." He You wiped a handful of blood stains on his face, and just wanted to straighten up but felt out of strength, so he had no choice but to say soft words. "Lao Tzu doesn't care about you, if you win, you can't be poured two corners of wine, if you lose, your old boy won't go back."

"Did you hear it, General He said, if we lose the fight, don't come back!" Liu Guoxuan smiled, he didn't pay attention to He You's softness, but he took this opportunity to inspire the fighting spirit of his subordinates. "Cut off the dog's head that Duan Yingju raised and give it to General He as a snack! Sons, kill me with me! ”

The Fujian Green Battalion was followed by the Manchurian Eight Banners Battalion, but the Manchurian Eight Banners were no longer the invincible strong army at the time of the founding of the country, and they were smoky by the prosperity of the Central Plains, and they were about to collapse under the impact of the Zheng army, and fled backwards with a shout, which not only affected the entire Qing army, but also dispersed the reinforcements sent by Duan Yingju.

"It's over! Finished! Seeing the sudden reversal, Duan Yingju wanted to cry without tears, and the whole person was like a fool, sitting there muttering, but the people around him couldn't look at him in a daze, so he didn't care about the humility of the upper and lower levels, pulled him up and ran, until he got on the war horse, and the admiral who was from the official residence had not yet woken up from the nightmare.

"Kill!" The so-called defeat is like a mountain, except for a few exceptions in the era of cold weapons, such as the Spartans in Hot Springs, the white pole soldiers in the Hunhe River, etc., the situation of fighting to the last soldier in the real face-to-face battle rarely occurs, and more often, the killing and wounding appear at the moment of pursuit, just as the current situation is the same, the Qing army that lost its armor was chased and killed all the way, and many kneeling and begging for mercy were also hacked to death on the spot by the murderous Zheng Jun.

"Oh no, there's an ambush from the Southern Barbarians here." On Zhangquan Avenue, a small number of suspicious soldiers ambushed by Liu Guoxuan in advance played a role, and the Qing army, which had been frightened, did not dare to verify how many men and horses the other party had, as soon as they saw the red flag of the Han army, they immediately turned around and ran, and even discarded weapons and armor in order to run faster, as for the heavy grain and baggage, they were piled up on the road, and the Qing army also hoped to slow down the opponent's pursuit.

Zheng Jun's scouting horse caught up with Liu Guoxuan's figure: "Report!" Report to the handsome! Duan Yingju had led the Qing army brigade to flee into Haicheng City. ”

"Siege the city immediately." Liu Guoxuan won more with less this time, but the strength of the Qing army was still there, and the Zheng army had suffered many casualties before, so he didn't dare to give the other party a chance to breathe. "Order Zhang Xiong to lead the Pleiades camp camera to attack Pinghe, and then order Su Ruijun to attack Zhangping, tell He You to lead his troops to clean up the battlefield, and then converge under Haicheng City."

After the Qing army fled into Haicheng, Liu Guoxuan ordered his men to dig a trench outside the city overnight, at this time the Qing army had not recovered from the defeat in the morning, and they thought that Zheng Jun's actions were to prepare for the siege of the city the next day, so they only carefully held the city wall and did not dare to attack. The next day, he was shocked to find that Zheng Jun had already diverted water to block Haicheng, but it was too late. Liu Guoxuan not only sent musketeers to shoot out of the Qing army along the trenches, but also dug several more trenches outside the first trench, so that Haicheng was completely sealed.

"What? Surrender? "Looking at the persuasion letter shot by Zheng Jun, and then swept the Eight Banners official who was incompetent in front of Zheng Jun but picked his nose and eyes in front of him, Duan Yingju, who had recovered from the loss of defeat, reluctantly dropped the letterhead in his hand." Wishful thinking, Duan inherited the emperor's kindness and was promoted as the governor of Fujian, and he never dared to have a disobedient heart. Duan Yingju comforted the dejected Green Battalion officers around him. Don't worry, the court won't ignore us, wait and see, there will definitely be reinforcements. ”

"Junmen, I also know that the imperial court will send reinforcements, but this food?" Most of the soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong are here, and I don't know how long it will take for the reinforcements from Zhejiang and Jiangxi to arrive, and maybe when the reinforcements arrive, they will starve to death. "Junmen, you have to plan ahead."

"Planned?" Duan Yingju thought about it. "How many horses are there?" Mu Boxifu, the chief of staff of Fuzhou garrisoning the Mongolian Eight Banners, was about to speak and stopped, and seeing his expression, Duan Yingju sighed. "Of course, the horse doesn't have to be killed now, but once the food is cut out, the people of this city, what about the people, go out of the city to intercede with Zheng Yi, and let the people of the city go out of the city."

Duan Yingju's calculation is not bad, let the people go out of the city without food, not only can the Qing army get the supplement of civilian food, but also can make the Ming Zheng side carry the burden, and can also get the good reputation of the Buddha of ten thousand families, it is really killing three birds with one stone, but he did not realize that the siege of Haicheng would last longer than he imagined
