Chapter 102: Jin Yiwei

Zhou Shuyuan and Wang Feng gradually saw some clues, and wanted to open their mouths to persuade Wei Zheng to continue to hold on, and when there were a few white infantry left in front of the total annihilation position, Wei Zheng had already taken a step in advance, and ordered in a firm tone......

"The musket battalion took cover, and the artillery immediately retreated...... When it was over, the musket battalion quickly withdrew from the battlefield, and we went to the third line of defense to continue the attack on the enemy. ”

Seeing the hesitant expressions on the faces of several people, Wei Zheng comprehended God's continued order: "What are you still stunned about, execute the order immediately......"

"I know you don't want to miss this great opportunity to strike at the enemy. However, let's not forget that after eighty paces, we can strike at the enemy, and the Tartar archers can also shoot us with arrows. ”

"We have limited forces and cannot afford to lose even a single soldier. Now, the artillery and musket battalions have eliminated hundreds of enemies without a single soldier, and this result has exceeded our imagination. For the sake of a protracted battle that may follow, we must stop in moderation and not eat too many enemies at once. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to digest it quickly, but we will also break our own teeth and make us pay losses. ”

"Let's not forget that our total strength is more than 1,000 people when we are full, and almost one less is killed in battle. Now, with so many enemies wiped out with zero battle losses, we've reached, no, far exceeded our battle expectations. ”

After speaking, without waiting for a few people to react, he ordered again: "What are you still doing, go and give orders immediately...... The first round of arrows from the Tartars is coming, do you want to see casualties among your troops......"

After the two battalions hastily withdrew from their positions, the one-sided slaughter scene on the battlefield quickly ended.

At the same time, the first round of arrows fired by the 300 Tartar archers streaked beautiful silver light in the air, followed the heels of the retreating soldiers of the Haw Par Army, and landed on the second-line position that the Haw Par Army had abandoned.

As a result, there was no surprise, and the remaining white infantry of the Tartars easily advanced the poorly blasted shield wall to the new earthen wall.

Faced with the already empty second-line position, the overjoyed infantry followers seemed to forget the pain they had just experienced, and climbed directly onto the earthen wall, wanting to jump into the trench in one fell swoop.

So, because of their arrogance again, they gave the Haw Par Army the results of destroying 100 enemies in vain.

On the battlefield, both the Hawpanzers and the Tartars are ready for the next offensive and defensive battle. Far away at the gate of Beijing, a brocade-clothed guard quickly whipped his horse, regardless of the guards at the gate, just showed his waist card, and rushed into the city of Beijing.

Then, the Jinyiwei messenger did not stop for the slightest, and rushed directly to the location of the Jinyiwei command embassy.

Since the fall of Zunhua, Tartar cavalry began to appear around the city of Beijing. The whole city of Beijing began to become panicked, and they were afraid that the battle-hardened Tartars would attack the city without regard for a single battle.

Chongzhen, as the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, watched the Tartar cavalry gallop outside Beijing, while the Ming troops under his rule were like turtles with shrunken heads, all of them cowering on the city wall.

The whole person, since the news of the fall of Zunhua spread, held back a breath of resentment.

For half a month, because of this grievance, the court did not know how many ministers were given to death by the conceited Chongzhen.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing is Chongzhen's most trusted general. However, because of the setbacks in the front-line war, Luo Yangxing was also scolded by Chongzhen many times during this time.

Coupled with the continuous suppression of Jinyiwei by the civil officials in the court, Luo Yangxing can clearly feel that if there are no changes in the court, it will become more and more difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court.

"I must find a way to change this situation in the court, so that the emperor can trust me and trust Jinyiwei again..."Luo Yangxing, who was sitting behind the desk, secretly swore in his heart.

However, it is not easy to change the situation in the court without any changes.

Just as Luo Yangxing's brows furrowed again, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded at the door.

Then, the voice of the henchman guard reached Luo Yangxing's ears: "My lord, Zunhua is urgent..."

"Zunhua...... Didn't Zunhua fall? How can there be an urgent report..."Luo Yangxing asked with puzzlement.

Seeing that the guard in front of him shook his head, Luo Yangxing directly waved his hand and ordered: "Let the messenger come in, I hope it will not bring bad news...... I've had enough bad news in this time...."

Soon, a strong man who was no more than thirty years old, but who was wearing a brocade guard and a hundred household costumes, appeared in front of Luo Yangxing under the leadership of the guards.

After kowtowing to Luo Yangxing, he said excitedly: "Report to my lord, good news... Dolgon, who occupied Zunhua City, lost the battle at a place called Mushroom Valley. Not only did he lose thousands of real Tartar soldiers, but he also let his own brother be captured by his opponent and was helpless..."

"Which army is fighting so hard... As far as I know, there are no more formed Ming troops in the entire territory of Zunhua... To be able to take thousands of types at once and capture Dorgon's own brother, the size of this force must be very large...."Luo Yangxing asked with a shocked face.

The messenger shook his head and replied excitedly: "My lord, this army does not belong to any army, it was fought by a bandit in Zunhua. Because one of these bandits happens to be my brother of the Jinyiwei, we were able to get this news during the siege of Mushroom Valley by Dolgon's army..."

Hearing the news, a bold idea quickly flooded Luo's head.

"Take this bandit for yourself at once, and in this way, the bandit will destroy thousands of Tartars, and the results of the capture of the Tartars fifteen beylers will become the results of the Jinyi Guard. At that time, with this huge result, Jin Yiwei will definitely be able to turn over in the court and regain the emperor's trust. ”

As a courtier who has served Chongzhen for several years, Luo Yangxing is very aware of Chongzhen's temper and character.

As a conceited and authoritarian emperor, Chongzhen often only looks at the results and does not look at the process. If he knew that the Jinyi Guard had killed thousands of enemies in Zunhua, he would have captured fifteen Belles of the Tartars. Luo Yangxing can be sure that Emperor Chongzhen will definitely praise everyone in Jinyiwei, because the court at this moment needs a victory to boost morale.

Thinking of this, Luo Yangxing's brows, which were still tightly locked just now, quickly flashed a trace of surprise.

Commanding the messenger in front of him, he said, "Tell me everything you know about this bandit army at once, and believe it as much as you can." The report is good, and the reward of the command embassy is absolutely indispensable..."

"Yes, sir," said the messenger with an excited expression.
