Qian Defu was stationed by Duan Xinian's side, his face was not bloody, and although he was wrapped in a thick cotton coat, he still kept fighting cold. Duan Xinian, who was dressed in two layers of iron armor, couldn't help but want to retreat, but he was apprehensive, and from time to time he turned around and peeked at an old man in front of him who was wearing light armor, a sword at his waist, and his body was as tall as a javelin.

The camp of the Qing army under the hillside has become a pot of porridge at this time, and the sky-high fire is accompanied by screams one after another, and people shout and neigh, which adds a strong atmosphere of slaughter to this winter night.

"Mr. Jisheng!" Duan Xinian finally couldn't help it, and approached Chen Zizhuang, who was quietly observing the battle situation. "It's almost, or let the soldiers and horses be withdrawn. After all, the Qing army is outnumbered, and if they find out that we only have more than 10,000 people, once we are bitten to death, it will ......! ”

When Chen Zizhuang heard this, he turned around to look at Duan Xinian, and said in a cold tone: "I have been following Dongyu for so long, and I finally found a good opportunity, but I can't give up just now?" ”

Chen Zizhuang knew very well what kind of goods Duan Xinian and Fengyang's town guard eunuch Qian Defu were. Duan Xinian is Zhu Ping'an's old boss, although he is a philistine, he is a very nostalgic person, but his talent and courage are extremely mediocre. There is also Qian Defu, who was once removed during the Yixing Dynasty, after Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, he remembered that he had taken care of him in many ways within the high walls, so that he was reinstated, and he was a good hand at collecting money, but he did not dare to compliment him when he went into battle.

Chen Zizhuang founded Yunchun Academy in Guangdong, and had a conversation with Zhu Ping'an back then, which inspired him a lot. Therefore, he and Huang Gongfu intended to set up a military affairs department in the academy to select children to enroll, and they really sent some talents to Shandong and Jianghuai over the years.

Zheng Zhilong was defeated in Xiangyang, and when the news reached Guangdong, Chen Zizhuang immediately couldn't sit still, and took his eldest son Chen Shangtu to hurry north by boat. But due to the encounter with a hurricane. In the end, he could only land in Yangzhou. After going ashore, I realized how bad the situation has become.

Chen Zizhuang planned to go straight to Nanjing, but he heard about his close friend Huang Gongfu staying alone in Anqing. Because he was worried about the safety of his old friend, Chen Zizhuang changed his itinerary. But when he went to Fengyang, he got the news that Anqing had fallen and Huang Gongfu and others had been martyred. Chen Zizhuang was grief-stricken. He immediately decided to raise troops in Fengyang and go south to defend against the enemy.

Since Zhu Ping'an extinguished a gust of wind, Fengyang has been very peaceful all these years. After Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, Duan Xinian was promoted to the chief soldier of Fengyang, and was also rewarded with the title of Earl of Taiping. Therefore, when Chen Zizhuang came to the door and asked to send troops south, his original intention was not to get involved in these wars. As long as the Qing army does not fight Fengyang, no matter how lively the fight outside is, it has nothing to do with him.

Qian Defu also had such an idea, but how could Chen Zizhuang give up. The two chief officers of Fengyang refused to nod their heads in agreement, so wouldn't the army be nameless! Therefore, Chen Zizhuang found Zhang Jizu's father, Zhang Shan, the patriarch of the big clan in Fengyang City, and he came forward to recruit Yiyong, and came to persuade Duan Xinian and Qian Defu.

Zhang Shan naturally has no second words, his eldest grandson Zhang Jizu is now a general under Zhu Ping'an and is serving in the Liaodong Army. The Zhang family is attached to Shandong, and of course they agreed to Chen Zizhuang's request. Immediately came to the door to know the benefits and disadvantages of the two.

Now it is the head of the national crisis, Emperor Longwu has been forced to tour the south, Zhu Ping'an is still fighting in Liaodong, Duan Xinian and Qian Defu are both ministers of the dragon, if they do not send troops at this time, let the world think of it. Once Zhu Ping'an returns, how will the two be punished?

Zhang Shan saw through the world, and the words he said were hidden in the needle, which scared Duan Xinian and Qian Defu a lot, so they could only nod and agree to send troops.

Thereupon. Chen Zizhuang recruited 3,000 villagers, plus Duan Xinian's Fengyang army, gathered more than 10,000 people, and marched towards Luzhou.

Halfway through, I got the news that Huang Degong was killed in battle and Luzhou was lost. Tanma also found out the whereabouts of the Qing army, Chen Zizhuang was eager to kill the enemy, so he followed the Qing army to Luohe Town, and launched a surprise attack while the Qing army was sleepy and sleepy in the middle of the night. I didn't expect the effect to be surprisingly good.

Chen Zizhuang is a scribe, and he is only a rough acquaintance in military affairs. But his eldest son Chen Shangtu was put to paper early, especially when Chen Zizhuang relayed to him what Zhu Ping'an had said back then, it strengthened his idea of abandoning literature and martial arts. As early as in Guangdong, Chen Shangtu followed Xiang Yong to suppress thieves everywhere. Therefore, Chen Shangtu became the chief officer of more than 10,000 soldiers. Including the idea of attacking the enemy camp at night tonight, he also came up with it.

First with a rocket raid, set fire to the Qing army camp to cause chaos, and then with the army carried more than a dozen tiger squat artillery bombardment, and then the cavalry rushed into the enemy camp, now it seems that although this method of warfare is old-fashioned, but in the face of the extremely tired Qing army, it has played an unexpected effect.

Faced with Duan Xinian and Qian Defu's request, Chen Zizhuang didn't pay attention to it at all. At this time, the two cavalry that broke into the enemy camp from the east and south had already met in one place, Chen Shangtu held a long-handled iron broadsword, and killed the rise, while the Qing army cried and called his mother to flee in all directions.

Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but boil his blood, pulled out the sword at his waist, and couldn't wait to order the whole army to attack, intending to defeat the Qing army in one fell swoop.

Qian Defu and Duan Xinian had no choice but to hide in the crowd of guards, followed closely behind Chen Zizhuang, and rushed down the hill with a large group of men and horses, straight into the enemy formation.

In the dark night, the Qing army was suddenly attacked, and it was already scattered, and even the commander of the Dachun Rebellion Army was hit by an arrow in the thigh, and when all thoughts were lost, the city was full of cannons, and the Mongolian cavalry of the brigade was killed from the south gate of Luohe Town.

The Mongol cavalry that followed Dachun belonged to the Durbot Division, a subordinate tribe of Horqin, which belonged to one of the ten tribes of the Horqin and Huang Taiji Alliance, which was later rebuilt into the Ten Banners of Zhelimu. The main color of the flag is the Manchu Qing Dynasty's Zhenguo Gong, Zasak Gushan Beizi. He has followed Duoduo to the south many times, and has made many meritorious achievements, and he is also a powerful branch tribe of the Horqin tribe.

This time, the eldest son of Seleng, Sha Jin, led the troops to follow Bolo, with a total strength of more than 10,000 people, all Mongolian light cavalry.

The Mongol cavalry went out of the city and strangled Chen Zizhuang's main force, and the Qing army was able to get a respite, and the shape gradually reversed.

I have to say that Duan Xinian is the one who leads the troops after all, although the courage and military affairs are mediocre, but he still sees the gap between the Ming army and the Qing army. His worries are also gradually becoming a reality, after the Mongol cavalry killed, the Ming army fell into passivity, and it was not so easy to get out.

Although the Fengyang army had a group of old soldiers left by Zhu Ping'an as the backbone, most of them were soldiers of the original guard, and the combat power was not enough, and the Qing army occupied the advantage in numbers, so it soon formed a siege of the Ming army.

Chen Zizhuang and others rushed left and right in the encirclement, but they could not break through the encirclement of the Qing army.

Da Chun held the wound on his thigh, and couldn't help but laugh cruelly, "These southerners are really beyond their own strength, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses dare to come to fight General Ben's idea, let General Ben come to send you back to the west, it should be an appetizer before conquering Nanjing!" ”

Qian Defu and Duan Xinian An Jiaokui, they didn't expect to get into the encirclement of the Qing army in the first battle after leaving Fengyang, Chen Zizhuang was obviously not suitable for leading troops, but this time their father and son were miserable.

Chen Zizhuang is unusually calm, and he has the will to die this time. Zheng Zhilong delayed the fighter plane and completely lost the good situation of the Northern Expedition, resulting in the current critical situation. Old friend Huang Gongfu in order to buy time for Shi Kefa and others to stick to Nanjing, the lonely army guarded Anqing, and finally sought benevolence, although he Chen Zizhuang was a scribe, but he was full of ambition to serve the country, and he could die on the battlefield and be loyal to the name.

Thinking of this, Chen Zizhuang couldn't help but clench the three-foot Qingfeng in his hand, once the battle reached the end, he would have to rely on it to end his life.

The Qing army was surrounded layer by layer, and the Ming army gradually became a little overwhelmed.

However, at this moment, the north of Luohe Town suddenly sounded a trumpet, followed by the shouts of a mountain and a tsunami.

The Qing army and the Ming army all looked at each other and hurriedly retreated backwards. Da Chun also didn't know why, so he hurriedly sent his men to the city to investigate and see what was going on.

Before his subordinates rode into the city, the green battalion soldiers in the city withdrew from the city with rolling and climbing, and the generals led by them came to Da Chun, "General! Oh no, the Ming army of the brigade suddenly attacked the north gate of Luohe Town, the main force of our army all went out of the city, the strength was thin, the north gate fell immediately, and now the Ming army has entered the city and killed towards the south gate! ”

Da Chun was furious, and whipped the general's face, "Fart, where did the Ming army come from, where is there a large number of Ming troops in Luzhou and Hezhou." It must be some stragglers of the Ming army, it is clear that you Han people are afraid of the enemy and cowardly, fleeing from the battle, and then dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu cut off your head! ”

The general covered his face and replied with a crying voice: "The last general does not dare to deceive the general, there are Ming troops all over the mountains, I am afraid that there will be at least tens of thousands of people, and the firearms in his hands are also extremely sharp, and our army must not approach at all!" ”

As he spoke, Sha Jin pointed to the head of the city, "Look, general! ”

Da Chun looked up, in the night, the city suddenly lit countless lanterns and torches, as bright as day, the Ming army wearing red and black armor has captured the city, the flag is waving, and the banner of the Ming army is everywhere.

"Where did this Ming army come from!" Dachun's mouth was open enough to stuff an egg. Before Da Chun could react, the Ming army at the head of the city had already set up artillery, and there was a burst of indiscriminate bombardment against the Qing army's men and horses, and the situation in which the Qing army had finally stabilized suddenly fell into chaos again.

However, Chen Zizhuang and others in the encirclement were in great spirits, and the reinforcements arrived inadvertently, killing the Qing army by surprise, and this was the best time to counterattack. (To be continued......)
