The scout reported the detected information with joy on his face, and Zheng Jinhong and the others all had smiles on their faces.

Zheng Xunrui's face has always been very calm, and the news detected by the scouts is just to prove that there is no problem with his judgment, since Geng Zhongming, who was stationed in Hejian Fucheng, led the Han army to the direction of Qingxian, then the Zheng family army accepted this big gift.

The tactic of closing the door and beating the dog is the simplest, let the 10,000 Han troops led by Geng Zhongming enter the city of Qingxian, block all the exits of the city, and wipe out the Han army in the city.

Implementing such tactics requires great self-confidence, but both Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun have such self-confidence.

In the battle in the city, the role of the Mauser gun will be exerted to the extreme, as long as the Shenji battalion is dispatched, the battle can be resolved, on the other hand, the Han army can only be beaten passively.

After the scout reported to him, Zheng Xunrui quickly began to deploy, and he gave an order in a simple and clear tone, this time the battle was dominated by the Shenji battalion, with the cavalry battalion cooperating, and the artillery battalion was a good rest, and there was no need to participate in the battle at all.

Zheng's army quickly began to act, the artillery battalion moved to the north of the city to hide, and at the same time was responsible for guarding the north gate, the cavalry battalion was responsible for guarding the east gate and the west gate, and the south gate was unfortified, allowing the Han army to enter the city from the south gate, but once the Han army entered the city, the south gate would be completely blocked by the cavalry battalion.

The Shenji battalion was on standby in the city, and someone once suggested that the Zheng family army should hide outside the city except for the artillery battalion, but Zheng Xunrui did not agree, he thought that there was no need to deal with the Han army in such a big move.

This is the first time that Zheng Xunrui has really shown confidence in front of everyone and has given everyone great encouragement.

Geng Zhongming originally planned to arrive in Qingxian in one day, but the speed of the Han army's march was not very fast, and it was not until the next day that he saw the city of Qingxian.

It was very quiet along the way, and there were no people on the official road, which made Geng Zhongming's panicked mind calm down a little, it seemed that Hejian Mansion was still safe, no matter what, as long as the other two armies came to Qingxian. The 40,000-strong army quickly rushed to Yanqing Prefecture and made peace with Dolgon, so it would not be a big deal, and it would be a big deal to quickly withdraw to Shenyang.

Geng Zhongming, who was in a slightly calmer mood. Ordering the entire army to enter the city, he didn't even think of sending scouts to reconnoitre.

Arriving at the destination, for the Han sergeants, it is always happy, this battle. They gained a lot, almost everyone carried gold, silver and jewelry in their arms, which was allowed by the commander Geng Zhongming, although some sergeants did not understand that such a great opportunity, why Geng Zhongming did not lead the sergeants to continue the attack in order to loot more money, but since the order was down, then obey.

The Han army did not carry prisoners, they were originally Han Chinese. The main thing they saw in their eyes was money and food, and as for the young men and women, they thought that they were a drag, and carrying them would affect the battle and march, which they knew differently from the sergeants of the Eight Banners.

When the army entered the city, the sergeant was accustomed to the tragic situation in the city, and now he found a house to live in and settle down, Geng Zhongming's order was to stand by in Qingxian, and it seemed that he should wait here for a certain time.

Enter the city. Geng Zhongming's mind was full of thoughts about when Turai would come to Qingxian, and when the other army would be able to get the news and return to Qingxian as well, as for the Han army sergeants looking for a place to camp. He really didn't care.

In fact, as long as Geng Zhongming or the Han army sergeant under his command pay a little attention, they can find that the situation is somewhat abnormal, at least most of the places in the city are somewhat clean, and there are no corpses in the streets and alleys, which is unreasonable, and the Eight Banners, including the Han army, will not deliberately collect the corpses.

Ignoring these details is fatal. But then again, even if Geng Zhongming noticed these circumstances, it would be useless, the moment the Han army stepped into the county seat of Qingxian, their fate was doomed, maybe this is fate.

When the sporadic and crisp gunshots rang out, Geng Zhongming, who had settled down, didn't care, the Han army sergeant was equipped with a lot of arquebuses, maybe someone found something to shoot, this is nothing remarkable, when the officer came in with a pale face to report, saying that the Han army was ambushed, Geng Zhongming unconsciously reprimanded the officer, saying that it was how could the Ming army appear in Qingxian, the 40,000 army had already entered Hejian Mansion, Qingxian was occupied by the soldiers of the Eight Banners all the way very early, and the Ming army guarding the city had already been completely wiped out. Moreover, the Han army did not encounter any obstacles on the way to march and when it entered the city, let alone find any trace of the Ming army, how could the Ming army appear now.

Just as Geng Zhongming was reprimanding the officer, the gunfire became more and more intense, and this gunfire was very different from the gunfire of the arquebus, the sound was crisp and the frequency was much faster.

Geng Zhongming only began to panic at this time, and ordered the officers to gather here immediately.

Liu Zeqing, who commanded the operation of the Shenji Battalion, boldly put forward a suggestion that made the battle smoother.

It turned out that Liu Zeqing suggested that the soldiers put on the uniforms of the Han army and hide in the city, Zheng Xunrui completely agreed with this disguise, and suggested that in order to avoid confusion, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion tied a red belt on their right arm, so that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion could calmly attack, and when the Han army found out the problem, there was no chance.

The effect of this hand was very good, when the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion attacked, the Han soldiers did not notice it at all, and at first they thought it was a dispute over money or camping, until many Han soldiers were shot and fell, and the gunfire still did not stop, they found that something was wrong.

Where Geng Zhongming camped, Liu Zeqing personally led the soldiers of the 500 Shenji Battalion to tightly surround the inside and outside, and the soldiers were ambushed on the roof or in the corner to closely watch every move in the courtyard.

Seeing an officer of the Han army enter Geng Zhongming's camp, Liu Zeqing had a smile on his face and ordered the soldiers not to shoot for the time being, he expected that Geng Zhongming would summon the officers of the Han army to his camp to discuss.

Sure enough, after a while, a large number of Han army officers entered the courtyard, these officers hurriedly came, and they didn't have time to look around, in fact, even if they paid attention, what they found was the soldiers of the Zheng Family Army Shenji Battalion wearing Han army uniforms, and they would not carefully check the difference in panic.

More than a hundred people gathered in the courtyard, and a middle-aged man came out of the house at this moment. Liu Zeqing recognized it at a glance, and it was Geng Zhongming who came out.

He gave the order to shoot.

Geng Zhongming's face turned pale, and when he saw the many officers who had already arrived, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and prepared to give an order.

But at this time, the gunshots rang out, and the officers in the courtyard were shot one after another and fell, and many officers who were caught off guard were in a mess, some rushed towards the outside of the courtyard, and some rushed towards the house.

The gunfire was unusually dense, and almost all the officers who charged outside the courtyard fell, and many of the officers who took refuge in the house even pushed and shoved because of the congestion.

Geng Zhongming became like a puppet, by this time, he already had a terrible idea in his heart, the scout reported that Zheng Jiajun went to Yanqing Prefecture to fight against Dolgon, this information seems to be false, Zheng Jiajun is likely to have entered Hejian Mansion, and even set up an ambush in Qingxian, if such a situation occurs, the Han army will not have any way out.

What's even more terrifying is that Geng Zhongming has clearly stated in the document to Turai that the Zheng family army went to Yanqing Prefecture and suggested that the army should be concentrated in Qingxian, which would not allow Turai to lead the army into the trap set by the Zheng family army.

Geng Zhongming was hugged into the house by the sergeants beside him, and his face was no longer bloody.

Within the county seat, it has become a battlefield.

The Han army, which had no unified command, began to flee for their lives, even if they fled, they did not forget to carry the money, many Han soldiers who had not yet fully settled down, put all the money into their chests, and began to flee in the direction of the city gate, in their opinion, the easiest way is to escape from this city, and what to do next.

The sound of horses' hooves galloping in the city was everywhere, but unfortunately there were gunshots everywhere, and the sergeants on horseback kept being shot and fell, and these Han sergeants didn't even know where their opponents were, they first fell into a panic, forgetting to observe the surrounding situation, thinking of being able to flee quickly.

Some slightly smart Han sergeants chose to stick to the house, it doesn't matter how long they can hold on, but unfortunately such sergeants know too little, most of the sergeants choose to flee by the way, and even some of the sergeants who are ready to hold on to the house also join the ranks of escaping when they see a large number of sergeants riding horses and fleeing from the road.

The streets were littered with corpses, and there were some seriously wounded Han army sergeants lying on the ground**.

Liu Zeqing ordered the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to launch a full-scale attack on Geng Zhongming's camp.

Gunfire rang out, and the soldiers rushed into the courtyard.

They met little resistance, and within a few minutes of the attack, the door was opened, and the men inside walked out with their hands raised, shouting surrender with their mouths in their mouths.

When Liu Zeqing saw this scene, he scolded and scolded in his mouth, you must know that all the officers of the Han army here are so afraid of death, I don't know how to command the Han army to fight.

When he saw Geng Zhongming come out, Liu Zeqing appeared in the courtyard.

"Geng Zhongming, do you still know me?"

Geng Zhongming, who was pale and in a trance, looked up at Liu Zeqing in front of him, as if he was reminiscing, but he quickly recognized Liu Zeqing.

"Yes, it's General Liu......"

"Yes, I'm Liu Zeqing, the deputy chief soldier of the Zheng family, Geng Zhongming, you didn't expect it to end like this."

Geng Zhongming had already thought of this, but when it was really confirmed, he was even more desperate. (To be continued.) )
