Outside the south gate of the iron factory, under the light of torches for several miles, there are cavalrymen with strict appearance, and a large banner with clear characters is held high at the head of the team.

"Reinforcements, it's the reinforcements from the imperial court that are coming." The defenders of the south gate shouted excitedly, and the news of the arrival of reinforcements quickly spread throughout the city. The morale was aroused at once, and the cheers shook the sky, startling the Qing army inexplicably, thinking that some weapon of great destruction had come out, and for a while actually slowed down the pace of the attack.

Sandwiched between two mountains, the castle of the ironworks is a difficult mountain to climb on the east and west sides, and it is separated by a moat, so it is not easy to attack, and it takes a long time to attack around the south gate.

The reinforcements are stationed in the forbidden army of Xuzhou Mansion, leading the team of staff general Niu Yong, the officers and soldiers who fled back in a hurry spread the news of the Qing army's southern expedition, Niu Yong was shocked, is the border army on the front line annihilated, the news was quickly confirmed, the Qing army has arrived at the city of Liguo Iron Factory, Niu Yong picked up 5,000 cavalry to set off first, 50,000 infantry of the Xuzhou battalion took the train, reinforced the iron plant in two ways, the iron factory was lost, the weapons and equipment of the Qing army will be greatly improved, and Xuzhou Mansion can not be saved.

The train tracks were destroyed several sections by the Qing military aircraft on the way, and the rails behind could only be dismantled and laid in front, and the time was delayed back and forth, and the train capacity was limited, and all the wagons could be forcibly requisitioned or most of the soldiers could only run along the roadbed of the railway, and the cavalry also found that the iron thistle was sprinkled along the way, and finally cleared all the obstacles, and it was already night when they came to the iron factory.

The south gate was wide open, the cavalry of the forbidden army rushed in, the second south gate was also opened, the train slowly slid along the railroad tracks into the city, and the infantry got off en masse, and went straight to the north gate under the leadership of the officer without resting.

Suddenly, countless flags were erected on the city wall. Countless men wearing iron helmets of the forbidden army showed their heads from behind the battlements.

"The barbarians of the Ming Dynasty have come to reinforcements." The Qing soldiers knew the reason for the cheers of the ironworks, and their morale was greatly reduced. The sound of gold sounded in the rear of the Qing army, and the soldiers retreated with relief. Once they knew that they could retreat, they rushed to run backwards, fearing that they would be killed by the iron javelins that were being tracked and shooting, and the formation gradually became chaotic in the frantic retreat.

The commander of the Xuzhou battalion, the commander of the Northern Jiangsu Metropolitan Command, commanded the envoy Yuan Chonghuan, and the soft box of the train drove directly into the iron factory railway station, and the owner of the Peng factory came to greet him in person, and he didn't talk nonsense twice.

Yuan Chonghuan really had the demeanor of a general, picked up the clairvoyant mirror and observed, and said confidently: "The Tartar rear camp is on fire, most of the siege equipment is damaged, the infantry has suffered heavy casualties, and the chain of horses is unfavorable, and the morale has been greatly damaged, and there will be no more attacks tonight." "The official dialect with a Fujian accent is also pure.

"Dashuai Gaojian, what should the current strategy be?" The owner of the Peng factory asked.

"Send troops to cover up! When the Tartars have recovered their strength, tomorrow they will cut down the trees and make engineering equipment. Now, taking advantage of their new defeat, the formation is in disarray, and the surprise army pursues, causing them even greater chaos, and in the dark night, they trample on each other enough for them to suffer. ”

"The last will go." Niu Yong took the initiative to ask for battle.

"Okay, I order you to lead the people of the headquarters to attack the Qing army and retreat, and go quickly." Yuan Chonghuan stroked his beard with satisfaction.

"Our factory also produced two ironclad cars and a thousand cavalry." The owner of the Peng factory can't be a shrunken turtle at this time, but people are here to save the iron factory.

Liu Ziguang relied on his good kung fu, and the ghost made a god to give his hand, "A certain wish." ”

Liu Ziguang went out as the vanguard of the ironworks cavalry, quickly put on new armor with the help of several guards, picked up a long-handled broadsword, jumped on the war horse, and led the iron guard cavalry to rush out of the city first.

The ironclad chariot strafed the machine gun in front of the road, the cavalry of the forbidden army and the iron guard were tied with two crossed white cloths on their bodies for identification, and some people were armed with torches, a total of 6,000 cavalry rushed out of the city gate, the retreating Qing soldiers saw that there were cavalry pursuits, and ran faster, these infantry were cannon fodder, only received a short period of training, courage and discipline were not high, the defeat was like a mountain, and even the supervising team was trampled by the defeated soldiers, and many people were trampled to death.

The speed of the ironclad chariot is not as good as the cavalry, and it was soon caught up by the cavalry, Liu Ziguang took the lead, chasing the Qing soldiers, they did not deliberately kill and injure these infantry, but did their best to create chaos and create panic, the steam cannon on the city was also repaired, and they began to fire artillery again.

The Qing army camp did not build a complete defense facilities, because I didn't expect the Ming army to launch a counterattack, I wanted to spend the night in the city, the trenches, the rejection of horses did not have it, seeing the rout to impact the camp, the emperor hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot, the arrows were shot, the rout was shot down a large area, there were bows and arrows in front, there were pursuers in the back, seven thousand rout soldiers were sandwiched twice, and the casualties were heavy.

Liu Ziguang galloped wildly, there was a rout in front of the rout directly stepped on, he had no experience in leading the troops to fight, he knew that he kept rushing forward, and he was about to rush to the Qing army camp, and the iron guards and forbidden troops behind him drew their bows and arrows on the horse, looked up to the sky and released arrows, and shot across the Qing army in the camp.

Liu Ziguang was the first to approach the camp in the chaos, the Qing soldiers saw that there was an enemy coming, and hurriedly shot him with arrows, and the arrows made Liu Ziguang's war horse like a hedgehog, he drilled out from under the horse's belly, and rushed into the camp like lightning, and slashed wildly, and the archers scattered and fled, and the routs took the opportunity to rush into the camp, and the Qing emperor's anger jumped like thunder, "The Royal Forest Army gave me a top." What about the chain horse, give me a counter-impact.

The Imperial Forest Army beside the emperor was ordered to go up, chopping melons and vegetables to kill the rout, immediately stopped the rout, the rout stopped fleeing, and began to turn around and prepare to resist, but the cavalry was already very close, the simple fence was easily crossed by the war horses, and the elite emperor's army could not block the impact of the cavalry, the battle line gradually moved north, Liu Ziguang chased the archers, ran and ran, and found that he was already alone, he turned over and got into the tent next to him.

There was no one in the tent, Liu Ziguang tore off the two strips of white cloth on his body, and secretly looked out, the royal forest army of the brigade was running, he pulled in a royal forest army, easily broke the soldier's neck, and then took off the bright yellow cotton cloth and copper nail armor on his body, and hurriedly put it on.

Behind enemy lines, I will also play.

Peeking outside again, the Imperial Forest Army had almost run, Liu Ziguang took out a match, wiped the tent and lit a corner, and then swaggered out, and of course the weapon was replaced by the Iron Wrong Silver Yellow Flag Saber of the Imperial Forest Army.

Got out of the tent, while dodging the stray arrows, while pretending to be a herald and running towards the front of the handsome flag, Liu Ziguang was wearing the armor of a hundred households, and he pretended to shout "report" in an elongated voice, and no one stopped him for a while.

It wasn't until a hundred paces away from the emperor that Lan Ling's guards came to stop him, and the two guards held swords to block Liu Ziguang's way. "What's the matter?"

"There is an important military situation to tell the emperor in person." Liu Ziguang said nonsense.

A guard standing next to him glanced at Liu Ziguang, and suddenly stabbed him with a sword, "Bold assassin, look at the sword." "It turned out that the careful guards found that there were no braids behind this hundred households.

The other guards also followed with swords and stabbed directly, these are all masters of the Great Interior, martial arts are extraordinary, several long swords are cooperated, Rao is Liu Ziguang is sensitive reaction, and he only has the power to parry.

The Ming army has hit under their noses, this is worth it! The emperor ignored the persuasion of the ministers next to him, but he was unwilling to move the nest, everyone was persuading, a cannonball flew in, and the streamlined long-range bullet actually shot four miles away from the city wall, the Huangluo umbrella cover was blown away, and the scattered shrapnel hit around the emperor, fortunately, the strength was insufficient, but it also scared the ministers, and couldn't help but say, lift the young emperor, stuffed into the carriage next to him and left, at this time, the royal forest army was also forced to retreat by the cavalry, the guards did not dare to fight, and fought and retreated, In the end, Liu Ziguang went straight to chase the emperor's car, Liu Ziguang ran under the Huangluo umbrella cover, and found a bright yellow suede dragon combat boots, and copied it easily, haha, the Qing emperor even ran away with his shoes.

The Huangluo umbrella cover was broken, the emperor retreated, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted, and the remaining Imperial Forest Army resisted desperately while retreating for the sake of Duanhou.

At this time, the reorganized chain of horse troops rushed from the rear of the Qing army, but did not form a battle group, but fought separately, the cavalry melee to one place, the Qing army recuperated, the people were strong and strong, the morale of the Ming army was high, the heart was eager to grab merit, the iron guard was well-trained, hateful, everyone was in a melee, knives and guns were exchanged, but they were evenly matched, but the ironclad chariot that arrived later immediately broke this balance, and the machine guns sprang in circles and fired lead bullets, although they were not as effective as hitting the heavy cavalry, but the psychological pressure caused is also huge, many cavalry were hit by the key and fell off the horse, or directly overturned by the chariot, another chariot from time to time spewed fire dragons, everywhere they went, the Qing cavalry was full of fire.

Sometimes a lot of people is not necessarily a good thing, the Qing army of 100,000 horses, in the dark night orders and returns are difficult to convey, coupled with the emperor's sudden retreat, the barracks are on fire everywhere, some of the Han soldiers who have been forcibly conscripted have begun to take advantage of the chaos to escape, Liu Ziguang pinned the emperor's boots to his belt, followed the chaotic army to the north, ran while setting fire, and shouted from time to time two voices, "Run, the Qing army is defeated, the emperor has fled." ”

After running for some distance, he was blocked by troops in white armor like an iron wall. "Those who retreat, cut off" an order, the rout of the frantically fleeing was cut over, the rout in front of the rout was crowded by the people behind and continued to rush forward, like a wave hitting the reef, Liu Ziguang rushed to the front, he is not like the Han army rout to be slaughtered, the soldiers of the white flag were surprised to see a yellow flag of the Royal Forest Army actually slashing their compatriots, "there are spies" The soldiers shouted, but the formation was opened by Liu Ziguang, and the roar and strafing of the ironclad chariot behind were also approaching, The panicked rout widened the gap and continued to flee.

Suddenly, a pile of tall objects next to him attracted Liu Ziguang's attention, it was hay, the forage field of the army had arrived, the forage field was surrounded by grain trucks, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the H Han Army who were in charge of guarding it were waiting for them.

Liu Ziguang's old trick was repeated, but this time he learned to be smarter, cut off a dead man's long braid, stuffed one end in his helmet, and drooped on his shoulders as if the other was sloppy.

"The emperor said, quickly ask your lord to come out to receive the decree!" Liu Ziguang swaggered to the door composed of two erected chariots, and shouted in a matter-of-fact manner, the little soldiers guarding the door are not as bullish as the imperial guards, and when they saw the hundreds of households of the Royal Forest Army coming to deliver the decree, they hurriedly reported to the forage field to manage the camp, and a thousand households hurriedly ran over.

"The emperor said that the Ming army is strong, and he ordered you to withdraw fifty miles after pulling out the camp as soon as possible. The military rations were loaded and taken away, and the forage was burned on the spot to stop the Ming army. Afraid that they wouldn't believe it, Liu Ziguang also took out the suede dragon combat boots behind his back and showed it off, "This is a token handed over by the emperor to the lower officials in a hurry, and the emperor confessed: Seeing this thing is like me coming in person." ”

Guan Ying saw that the emperor's boots were taken out as tokens, and he couldn't help but believe it, plus he had witnessed the retreat of the imperial car just now, this order was also very appropriate, and the forage field must not fall into the hands of the Ming army.

Immediately the order was given to pull out the camp, the grain was loaded and taken away, the forage was burned on the spot, the hay as high as a mountain was ignited, and the fiery red flames lit up half of the night sky. The Qing soldiers, who didn't know why, were even more panicked and retreated. There are countless people who trample on each other and die.

The Qing Emperor, who saw all this from the window of the imperial car, spit out a mouthful of blood angrily and fainted, and the little eunuch who accompanied him was so frightened that he shouted, "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" "Where to go to find the imperial doctor in a hurry, everyone is busy running for their lives.

The Qing army was defeated.
