Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

More than half of the more than 1,000 guns of the Qing army were killed and wounded, and the remnants fled in all directions.

How can these headless flies outrun An **, the young men have taken advantage of their usual training, shook off their long legs, and easily caught up with one Qing army after another, captured them all, and killed them directly if they resisted slightly.

On the other side, Yue Poyu commanded the cavalry, and Xie Bin commanded three battalions of infantry, like two giant hands, surrounded Zu Kefa in the middle. Many of these Qing troops were born in Liaodong, and their combat effectiveness was quite fierce. They also know how many sins they have done, and they don't even think about surrendering, they are all in the death throes.

The hand-to-hand combat has lost its effect, the spear has become the protagonist of the battlefield, Kang Lesheng commanded the soldiers of the first battalion, pressing with all his strength, these soldiers have passed the test of life and death, and they are no longer rookies on the battlefield. They believe that unity is strength, and that a unit or a team is a unit, and comrades-in-arms cooperate closely.

The spears stabbed out together and withdrew together, this kind of neat attack killed the Qing army without any temper at all, and every row of guns stabbed out, a large piece fell.

The musketeers followed, and behind the pikemen, they continued to fire insidious bullets, slaughtering the Qing army with great efficiency. Blood stained the loess, and Zukefa was already hoarse.

Around him, the soldiers continued to decrease, the shouts of killing got closer and closer, and as far as the eye could see, there were all soldiers of An **, and Zu Kefa panicked. With red eyes, he looked around and grabbed the hilt of his knife sharply.

"My ancestor Kefa was born a person of the Qing Dynasty, and died a ghost of the Qing Dynasty! You don't want to capture Lao Tzu, Zu Kefa would rather die than give in! ”

The wounded beast screamed frantically, and raised its sword. I'm going to cut my neck. At this moment, the scimitar in Yue Poyu's hand was suddenly thrown out, and the scimitar slashed through a graceful arc, slashing right on Zu Kefa's arm, and his right forearm was cut off immediately. Blood was like an arrow, and the waist knife fell to the ground.

Zukova screamed in pain and fell to the ground. At this time, Yue Poyu rushed over, knocked over the two Qing troops, and arrived in front of Zu Kefa.

"Dog traitor, it's not so cheap to want to die!"

Yue Poyu grabbed Zu Kefa's neck. He was taken from the ground, put on his horse, and rushed out again. After losing the commander, the rout of the Qing army was even faster, and the remaining Qing army all knelt down and begged to surrender, and a large area of black pressure was pressed.

Afterglow of the sunset. The sword was shining, the day's fierce battle was over, except for the cavalry who was still pursuing the remnants of the Qing army, the other troops had all withdrawn.

The results of the battle are also quickly counted, to be honest, the combat effectiveness of the miscellaneous army is limited after all, and Gu Zhenhua is unintentional and unintentional. Artillery was also introduced, granular gunpowder was used, fixed distribution was introduced, and mines were used.

It can be said that Gu Zhenhua practiced in Nazu Kefa to verify his tactics, and later encountered the main force of the Qing army, and he also dealt with the Manchu Tartars.

In the whole battle, more than 4,300 Qing troops were killed, more than 2,000 were wounded, and more than 5,000 were captured. In the end, less than 3,000 remnants escaped. It can be said that the 15,000 people of Zukofa were basically wiped out. Even if the remnants gathered, they lost the courage to fight and became a bunch of waste snacks.

In addition to destroying the Qing army, more than 5,300 war horses and 800 complete firearms were also captured. There were 3,000 pairs of armor of all kinds, swords were not counted, and in addition, Wei Hui's chief soldier Zu Kefa was captured alive. It can be called a fruitful battle.

Ann ** didn't feel anything about this, after all, there were no real Tartars among these people, and they didn't look at them. But Chen Yi, these Henan generals, were all dumbfounded. How had they ever seen such a brilliant victory, the heads of people were piled aside like watermelons, and the seized materials were like a hill, which made people salivate when they looked at them.

"Grandpa Guo, the humble duty is served, An ** is worthy of being the elite of the world, with one as ten, it is not bad at all! After this battle, An**'s casualties are less than a thousand, right? ”

Fang Jianming on the side said with a smile: "There are 280 brothers killed, and more than 500 people are seriously injured. ”

"Amazing, amazing!"

Gu Zhenhua's face was indifferent, and he just smiled slightly: "Zu Kefa doesn't know how to fight with firearms, and he made a big plan to divide his troops, if he doesn't count the sacrifices and impacts one side, even if we can win, we will suffer heavy losses." The whole army, do not be arrogant, there are more ferocious enemies waiting for us! ”

"Grandpa Guo's lesson is that such a big victory should be vigorously publicized to boost the morale of the people, how long has it been since the people heard this kind of good news!"

Fang Jianming also said: "Vice General Chen's words are reasonable, and he will send someone back to Kaifeng immediately." ”

"Wait." Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and sneered: "In Kaifeng City, I'm afraid there are still people who want us to be defeated." ”

Chen Yi's face was also red, and he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, Hu Xin colluded with the Qing army and betrayed the military situation, it is a dereliction of duty, please ask Grandpa Guo to surrender!" ”

"Vice General Chen, Benjue didn't blame you, some powerful landlords in Henan were willing to take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and act as lackeys, which is the most shameful."

Fang Jianming frowned and said, "Grandpa Guo, since this is the case, it is even more necessary to vigorously publicize the results of victory, so as to dispel some people's dissenting intentions." ”

"Hahaha, to deal with the tumor, you can't just rely on pressure, but also on channeling, and you have to release this bad water. Vice General Chen, you immediately send people back to the city, and say that we were defeated and killed by the Qing army to the Yellow River, and the soldiers jumped into the river one after another, and the corpses blocked the river. ”

"Huh?" Chen Yi was suddenly confused, "Grandpa Guo, we are obviously a big victory, how can we say that we are defeated?" ”

At this time, Guo Yunlong and Yue Poyu both ran over with the captives, Guo Yunlong knew Gu Zhenhua's style of acting better, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, if there is anything you don't understand, Grandpa Guo wants to let the Xiaoxiao in the city jump out, and then take the opportunity to catch them all, you just do what Grandpa Guo said!" ”

"Hey!"

Chen Yi finally understood, and he also secretly gave Gu Zhenhua a thumbs up, this Ji Guogong is indeed unexpected, those heroes want to confront such a character, it is really the birthday guy who eats arsenic and looks for death!

Seeing Chen Yi leave, Yue Poyu held Zu Kefa's collar. carried him in front of Gu Zhenhua and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, one of Zu Kefa's arms was broken, and the blood was still bubbling and flowing, and Yan Zòng lost blood and lost half his life.

Gu Zhenhua glanced at this guy coldly. "When I was a traitor, I didn't expect to have today, right?"

Zu Kefa barely cheered up, and said with a sneer: "What is there to be proud of, Zu is just a momentary miscalculation, you are lucky, and there will be no good end!" ”

"Hahaha. I really didn't expect that you should be a traitor and have a sense of superiority, it's really shameful! ”

"Who is the traitor, when Zu was working for the Ming Dynasty, blood was spilled on the battlefield, where are you?"

Zu Kefa was excited. The wound on his arm was bleeding more, Gu Zhenhua waved his hand and asked the medical soldier to bandage it, but Zu Kefa actually pushed the other party away.

"Gu Zhenhua, you can catch Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has accepted his fate. But don't boast of being a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, my ancestor will not accept you. At that time, my father-in-law and I were stationed in the Daling River. The Manchus besieged us for three months, and we only had enough food for ten days. When the food is gone, the horse is eaten, and the horse is eaten and eats people, first the dead, then the living, and Zu's two concubines were killed. After waiting for reinforcements to arrive, the father-in-law could only surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Then Jinzhou was besieged, and for another whole year, it had to be cannibalistic again. Our father and son are benevolent and righteous to Daming. Do you have to hand over this life to the court to be a true loyal minister? Daming treats our father and son badly, can't he find a way out? ”

The more Zu Kefa spoke, the louder his voice became, as if there was some truth: "Good birds choose trees to perch." The virtuous minister chooses the lord to do things. The Qing Dynasty treats us well, and it is logical to serve the Qing Dynasty. Gu Zhenhua, don't think that the scenery is infinite now, how many dirty things there are in the Ming Dynasty, I know very well, they guard against their own people, and they are stricter than outsiders. You are now in unlimited beauty, and you may be sent to hell in the blink of an eye, what good end can you have with such a court, I think you might as well clear it as soon as possible, at least leave yourself a way back. ”

Zu Kefa sneered: "It's easy to be Yue Fei, but if you are resentful of the turmoil, you have to pay with your life!" ”

"It's really shameless to confuse the public with gossip!" Yue Poyu immediately pulled out his waist knife, aimed it at Zu Kefa's neck, and said viciously: "A traitor is a traitor, no matter what you say, you can't change it, and now, a shameful traitor like you has only one end, I will kill you!" ”

Yue Poyu raised his knife, but Zu Kefa closed his eyes instead, not caring at all, just asking for death.

Gu Zhenhua grabbed Yue Poyu and said with a smile: "Zu Kefa, do you still think you have a stomach full of grievances?" ”

"Grievance? Can't! Zu Kefa sneered: "Everyone knows that it's not good to be a traitor, but if you are not a traitor, the court won't give you a way to live, what do you let me do?" ”

Gu Zhenhua suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing so much that Zu Kefa burst into hair.

"The surname Gu, if you want to kill or release, you say something happy, why pretend to be a ghost!"

"Zu Kefa, what is the Ming Dynasty, is it just the imperial court? A few broken yamen, a palace, encircled Emperor Zhu, is this the Ming Dynasty? Joke! Daming is thousands of Li Shu and countless living people. Benjue admits that Emperor Zhu is sorry for you, but are you worthy of the people in this world? Is it worthy of the land that gave birth to you and raised you? The fertile soil of Liaodong was originally the world of the Han people, and the butcher knives of the Manchu Qing Dynasty killed compatriots, robbed the land, destroyed the Taoism, and destroyed the civilization. You are willing to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is not as simple as 2 ministers, you are the sinner of the nation, the scum of eternity! ”

Gu Zhenhua said and looked around, "There are thousands of soldiers in An**, and we fought bloodily for the clothes of the Han family and the tombs of our ancestors." Like you, if the court is a little neglectful, it will have evil thoughts, and no matter what time it is, it will be the most shameful traitor! ”

"Grandpa Guo said it so well!"

Guo Yunlong suddenly slapped his face and laughed: "I am also from Guan Ningjun, but I followed the lord south, to be honest, I really didn't take Emperor Zhu seriously in my heart, I just don't want to be a slave to the Manchu Qing with a pig's tail." ”

"You, you're going to rebel?" Zukova said tremblingly.

"Hahaha, what should I do, it's not your turn to say, Benjue is outside Kaifeng City, prepare a big pit for you, and everyone is buried. Sooner or later, one day, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui, Hong Chengchou and other traitors will also fall into the hands of Benjue, so you should go to the underworld first and stand for them! ”

Gu Zhenhua said, and asked people to take Zu Kefa down. They rested for the night on the north bank of the Yellow River, and then the army took the prisoners, and then crossed the Yellow River and returned to Kaifeng.

As soon as the army crossed the river, countless soldiers and civilians were waiting here, and after seeing the red flag of An**, these ordinary people suddenly cried bitterly, and some people knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.

"Heaven forbid, the sky has eyes!"

Chen Qianfu and Wu Kaijie took the civil and military officials of Kaifeng and waited at the ferry, but compared with the past, the crowd was one-third less.

When Gu Zhenhua got off the boat, Chen Qianfu hurriedly took a few steps, bowed and saluted, unable to hide his excitement.

"Grandpa Guo, you can be regarded as back!"

"Hahaha, Chen Futai is a little joke, let's talk about it later, the top priority is to bury these traitors alive for me with enthusiasm!"

Chen Qianfu still wanted to talk about last night's incident, but when he saw Gu Zhenhua's attitude, he could only swallow it back.

By this time the captives had been pulled down from the warship, and a rope was a large string, like grasshoppers. The captives hung their heads, and the common people pointed their fingers.

"See, what's that thing on their heads?"

"It's still something, it's a pig's tail! If you surrender to the Manchus, you are not a human being, you are a minion, and you have to carry such a thing. ”

"I've heard that when you go underground with a pig's tail, Lord Yama won't accept it!

……

Just when the common people were talking, Gu Zhenhua suddenly came to everyone and laughed: "Fathers and fellow villagers, An ** wiped out 15,000 Qing troops and captured more than 6,000 people in the first battle. These are all traitors who have committed great sins, and they have betrayed the Han people in the world. Ben Jue decided to bury these people alive at the east gate of Kaifeng, as a warning to the world, whoever dares to surrender to the Manchu Qing Dynasty will end up like this! ”

"Good!" The common people were silent for a long time, and thunderous cries erupted.

"Grandpa Guo, just do this, bury them alive!"

According to Gu Zhenhua's order, someone had already picked out ten deep ditches twenty meters long and five meters wide five miles away from the east gate. One by one, the captives were pushed to the edge of the ditch and waited to be thrown down.

"Grandpa Guo, these people are left to do hard labor, they are tired to death, what's the use of burying them alive?" Wu Kaijie pouted and said, "Don't you pay attention to waste utilization, why don't you know how to cherish it at this time?" ”

"Deterrence, deterrence of all traitors in the world, as long as they dare to surrender, this is the end." Gu Zhenhua sneered and said, "Without the help of the traitors, what else can the Tartars do!" ”
