Chapter 8: The First Battle of King Qin's Army

Lu Xiangsheng detected a Qing army, with more than 300 men and horses, not far from Changping, he immediately called Zhang Biwu and said: "Biwu, I heard that there are hundreds of Qing troops in Jifu, close to the area of Changping, like cruising and reconnoitring, and also like demonstrating to our army to test the reality of our army. This army must be killed! Biwu, you immediately lead a thousand men from your headquarters to set out and eat it! I will also send Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, and Yang Guozhu to each send a detachment of men to support you! ”

Zhang Biwu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knew that Lu Xiangsheng gave him the first battle to show that he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility. He was about to go to the Changping military camp to light up his 1,000 men. But when Zhang Biwu just came out of the street, a man quickly ran to his horse and stopped Zhang Biwu.

The guards glared at him, pointed their guns at him, and asked sharply, "Who are you?" How dare you stop in front of our Qianzong! Don't you want to live anymore? ”

But the man raised his head and shouted, "I heard that the men and horses under your lord's account are bent on fighting against the Tartars!" Please take me as a pawn! I'd like to go with me to fight tartars! Lin Xiangfeng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it, and said, "It's you!" Xie Shangzheng! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he drew his sword, and he was eager to cut off Xie Shangzheng's head with a single sword. Zhang Biwu shouted: "Stop!" ”

Lin Xiangfeng looked at Zhang Biwu and asked puzzledly: "Biwu, do you know who he is?" He is the traitor Xie Shangzheng who conspired with Wen Tiren to kill Master Overseer! ”

Xie Shangzheng looked at Lin Xiangfeng, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm Xie Shangzheng!" I came to you to atone for your sins! I know that the wrong things I did in the past can't solve my hatred even if I am cut with a thousand knives! But I wish I could have another chance! I don't want to get drunk all day long, and I want to die on the battlefield if I die! ”

"Humph!" Lin Xiangfeng didn't want to listen to him, and he didn't even want to look at him.

Zhang Biwu came to Xie Shangzheng and said, "What are you doing to stop me?" ”

Xie Shangzheng raised his head and said, "I know that Lord Lu Dao is Lord Lu Zhitai's favorite general, and I think my lord will definitely be able to fight Tartars on the front line!" I've been playing Tartar all my life, and I've done a big thing wrong! I don't want to spend all day in a tavern anymore! I also want to pick up swords and knives and go to war! As for Xiangfeng, I know that you hate me! But I think you'll give me a chance to go into battle and kill the enemy! Let me take revenge! Let me die on the battlefield! ”

Xie Shangzheng said and excitedly pointed his fingers to his chest with his hands, how he hoped that they could understand his heart.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lin Xiangfeng put the sword on Xie Shangzheng's shoulder. Zhang Biwu looked at him as if he was at home. Zhang Biwu saw a kind of resoluteness in his eyes. I don't know why, as soon as he saw these resolute eyes full of expectation, Zhang Biwu couldn't help but want to believe him!

This fighting spirit, Zhang Biwu was infected. "Give me the sword!" Zhang Biwu spoke to the soldiers around him, and the soldiers around him immediately gave Zhang Biwu the sword.

Zhang Biwu threw the sword to Xie Shangzheng and said, "You will be the vanguard of our army!" There will be a war in three or four days! Tell you, if you dare to retreat, you're dead! Go ahead! I'll go to war as you wish! ”

"What?" Lin Xiangfeng and Cai Jiuyi were all stupid, they never thought that Zhang Biwu would actually take on a heavy responsibility to Political Commissar Xie Shang, they looked at Zhang Biwu unevenly, and hoped that Zhang Biwu would change his mind and retract the preface.

Zhang Biwu ignored them, patted Xie Shangzheng on the shoulder, and said, "You not only want to correct your name, but also have to correct my name!" Xie Shangzheng! I don't want you to be a traitor a second time! ”

Of course, Xie Shangzheng knew the hatred of Lin Xiangfeng, Cai Jiuyi and others, he glanced at Zhang Biwu again, he knew that Zhang Biwu asked him to go to the battlefield, and he was entrusted with a heavy task under huge pressure! In the face of such trust in this meeting, he was very touched and grateful.

His fists clenched tightly. He made up his mind that he would never disappoint Zhang Biwu, not only to correct his name, but also to let Zhang Biwu have a reputation for discernment! This is his battle of atonement!

Lin Xiangfeng came to Zhang Biwu's side, and said very dissatisfied: "Biwu, why are you giving political commissar Xie Shang a heavy responsibility!" It's the first battle of our army! If you lose this battle, you won't be able to explain it to the master of Taiwan! Xie Shangzheng is a traitor, this time I don't know if he will be a traitor! If only I had cut off his head with a sword! ”

"Really?" Zhang Biwu sighed and said, "Do you know the way? As soon as I came into contact with Xie Shangzheng's fiery eyes, I seemed to see myself when I was in the beacon tower before! Fight to build your career! I used to think about this all the time, I was always laughed at, they laughed at me for being too narcissistic, I had never seen such a self-conscious person! But I still can't change it! Seeing Xie Shangzheng's eyes, I understood his inner cry! ”

"Same as my previous ones! So I gave him a chance! I think he's changing his ways! I want to make a meritorious contribution this time! I hope I'm not mistaken! ”

Zhang Biwu sighed when he said this. Lin Xiangfeng shook his head and said, "Biwu!" You're so stupid! I, Xie Shangzheng, should not have the slightest tolerance! "What Zhang Biwu can do is to believe in Xie Shangzheng, he didn't look away!

Zhang Biwu returned to the barracks, he didn't say much, he immediately pulled up a thousand men and horses and rushed to the front line, he knew that the Qing army came and went without a trace, if they rushed to the vicinity of Changping, then the Qing army would move, and this Qing army must eat it! In this way, the morale of the whole army was boosted.

It was found that the enemy army had left Changping and headed for Yanqing Prefecture. Yanqing Prefecture was originally called Longqing Prefecture, because in the first year of Longqing, it was changed to Yanqing Prefecture in order to avoid the name of Ming Muzong.

Zhang Biwu really met this Qing army in Yanqing Prefecture, although this Qing army only had more than 300 people, Zhang Biwu led a thousand people and sent a message to Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu, asking them to send troops to help quickly.

This Qing army was not at all afraid of the Ming army, which was outnumbered, because since they had penetrated deep into the Ming Realm, no one dared to resist, only Lu Xiangsheng's army was actively looking for them.

They had also been ordered to avoid the war, but now they can't avoid it, and this battle is inevitable. All they had to do was to break through and inflict a heavy blow on the Ming army before breaking through.

Zhang Biwu looked at the Qing army, which was a mixture of infantry and cavalry, of which there were 200 cavalry and 100 infantry. And on this side is 400 cavalry, more than 600 infantry. Although it has an absolute advantage, the morale of the two sides is slightly better than the Qing army, and if it is a single soldier's combat ability, the Ming army is completely incomparable.

Lin Xiangfeng said to Zhang Biwu sadly: "Biwu, it's okay for you to replace Xie Shangzheng now!" If it's too late, it's going to be a big mistake! ”

Zhang Biwu was stunned, he looked at Xie Shangzheng in front of the battle, and his heart moved: "Xie Shangzheng is also a shameless person who once betrayed his friends and the main general!" Can I trust him? Although I had heard that he was remorseful and bitter after betrayal, I also saw that his eyes were the same as what I meant before, and I couldn't bear to give him a chance for a while! ”

"But in case, if he becomes a traitor, if he loses this battle, it will seriously affect his morale! Originally, Lu Xiangsheng relied on me with a heavy responsibility, thinking that I would win the first battle of this war in order to boost the morale of the three armies. If it is defeated, it will have a great impact on the three armies! The history of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle cannot be changed! If you win, at least there will be a glimmer of hope! ”

"Should I replace Xie Shangzheng? Change another person to be the vanguard to shock the Qing soldiers? Should this be the case? But changing the battle is a taboo in the art of war! Maybe I'll lose because of my stupidity! What the hell am I going to do it? ”

Lin Xiangfeng saw Zhang Biwu hesitating, so he continued to persuade: "Biwu! Look no further! Change me to be a pioneer! I will definitely do better than Xie Shangzheng! ”

Zhang Biwu could only think of one thing: "Don't use the suspect!" Employing people without suspicion! Since I have decided to give Xie Shangzheng a chance before! Then I can't break my word and get fat! I have to be firm! Even if he's really sorry for me, I'm going to rush up and take his head off first! ”

"If he really changes his past and wants to kill the Tartar to atone for his sins, it will be a great wealth for me! What's more, when I want to reverse history, my strength alone is a mantis arm as a car, but I have gathered a lot of people's strength, which is very promising! ”

Zhang Biwu thought that Xie Shangzheng was a martial artist in the forty-sixth year of Wanli, and Chongzhen was promoted to general in the second year. Xie Shangzheng changed his position four times within half a year after killing Yuan Chonghuan, and he was transferred back and forth, although he was promoted, he couldn't adapt to it, and later developed to the point where he refused to take office, and finally ended up being dismissed. In April of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Wuyin was dismissed. This is all because he regretted killing Yuan Chonghuan, so he gave up on himself.

Xie Shangzheng's remorseful and battle-spirited eyes kept flickering in front of him. Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth, he decided to take a gamble - Xie Shangzheng can be trusted!

Zhang Biwu gritted his teeth and showed that he was very firm: "I have already selected Xie Shangzheng, then let him continue to lead the troops to fight in front!" Beat the drums! Shock each other for me! ”

As soon as Zhang Biwu finished speaking, he immediately put on his helmet! Draw your sword and charge at any time. Since then, Lin Xiangfeng can't say anything anymore, he can only charge desperately.

Xie Shangzheng pulled out his sword, he pricked up his ears and listened all the time, what shot in his eyes was the desire to fight, he couldn't wait. Drums beat! The horn sounds!

Zhang Biwu's eyes glared at Xie Shangzheng's side, will Xie Shangzheng charge? Or is it an escape? Zhang Biwu's heart rose to his throat. Not only Zhang Biwu, but even Lin Xiangfeng and they also prepared for the worst!
