Chapter 9: The Battle of Matsuyama
After the Sancha River went west for 100 miles, it docked, abandoned the boat and went ashore, and then marched to Songshan in a hurry. This place is not far from Songshan, and the Qing army is going to attack Songshan, so there are not many Hou Qi in charge of reconnaissance, even if there is Hou Cai, Zhang Biwu can hunt them all, and when the Qing army finds out, it will be too late!
Zhang Biwu can do this, and he also thinks about whether Zhang Pan can go back safely in the future, there is only one way, that is, all the main forces of the Qing army are concentrated in Songjin, and the domestic troops are insufficient! They could not be killed, and heavy troops were deployed in the area from Gaizhou to Liaoyang and Shenyang, which dispersed the Qing forces.
The Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners, as well as the Han and Mongolians, all the combined forces were difficult to reach 200,000. Songjin gathered more than 100,000 Qing troops, plus the defenders of the defense line to Shenyang, as well as the defenders everywhere, the Qing army could use fewer troops! The battle of Songjin is at a critical moment, and Huang Taiji will not withdraw Songjin's troops if he says anything.
Therefore, Zhang Biwu went deep into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and as long as the Battle of Songjin was not over, he could move back and forth in the territory of the Qing Dynasty. There is a saying in the art of war, to control the enemy but not to control the enemy! Always keep the initiative firmly in your own hands, this is the most important thing!
Zhang Biwu rushed to the front first! The Qing army is all stupid! They felt that this Ming army was like falling from the sky, why did it appear in front of them all of a sudden?
When the response has not yet come, many Qing soldiers have been hit by arrows, but these arrows can not be underestimated, some arrows are soaked in the poisonous juice of the bloody throat, and the poisonous juice of the bloody throat is taken out from the poisonous wood called arrow, of course, because of the great toxicity, so the poisonous arrow wood is sometimes called the bloody throat.
After the Qing soldiers in the front row were hit by an arrow, they could continue to fight with injuries, but they didn't expect that this poison was too strong!
They wanted to pull the bow again, but they found that their muscles had become loose, and they couldn't exert much force when they tried to exert their strength. Ben is a muscular strong man, because of the relaxation of his muscles, he can't use his strength, so he can only wait for death slowly.
The arrows shot out also had poisonous juice, flying over the Qing soldiers, and the poisonous juice fell into the eyes of the Qing soldiers. "Uhh
"My eyes! I can't see! How so! The soldiers shouted! His comrades-in-arms couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, not understanding! It is said that he could see clearly just now, and he was still shooting arrows to attack the Ming army! Why can't you see it for a while?
The other Qing soldiers were also very confused, and there was also another Qing soldier who couldn't see anything, just like the Qing soldiers who shouted that they couldn't see anything.
A partial general of the Qing army understood, he saw that most of the Qing soldiers who were injured by the arrow could only wait quietly for death, and he was more sure of his guess, he shouted: "The arrow is poisonous!" Avoid the arrows! ”
He saw that an arrow was fired, and there was juice on the arrow, which must be poisonous juice! No, the poisoned Qing soldiers could only jump a few times, and then they fell to the ground, with their eyes wide open, and no matter how their comrades pulled, they couldn't act anymore.
There was a partial general who had been in the army for a long time, he had fought with the Guangxi wolf soldiers before, and he had seen this kind of poison, so he shouted: "Everyone be careful! This must be a bloody throat! ”
Seeing the blood sealing their throats, the Qing army had also heard it, and some of them had also fought with the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, and naturally they also knew that some of them were using this kind of poison! Of course, there are Guangxi wolf soldiers in this army!
But the Qing soldiers are brave, they are not afraid! They knew that they were coming from a strong enemy, but they were excited, and they did not see this Qing army retreating, but they had to face the difficulties.
As soon as Zhang Biwu saw it, his old opponent was like this, the stronger the enemy, the more it could stimulate its super combat power.
"Strong!" There's no doubt about it! The Ming army rushed forward quickly! The Qing army was unable to hold back, and the front retreated again and again.
The Ming army still shouted deliberately, because if they shouted, the Ming army in Songshan, Xingshan, and Jinzhou would know the arrival of reinforcements and work hard to save them, so that they could strengthen their belief in defending to the death! Especially Hong Chengchou's side in Songshan wants them to believe that they can be rescued.
No, the sound of fighting and shouting of killing made by Zhang Biwu and the others who led the army came to the ears of the Songshan Ming army.
Hong Chengchou heard that Songshan was opened by Xia Chengde, and the Qing army poured into the city in large numbers, he couldn't help but shake his head, he picked up the medicine and wanted to commit suicide.
But the slave who was guarding immediately stepped forward and snatched the poison from Hong Chengchou's hand, saying, "Master, you can't! It's not time to run out of waters! ”
"Alas!" Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "Don't say it again!" I can only die to repay the emperor's kindness! I led eight general troops, but the 130,000 army was defeated! Lost all the country's capital! Alas! The Qing army has broken the city again, how can I live? ”
The servant hurriedly said, "Master, listen to this shout! Hong Chengchou heard the shouting and killing, and he said: "This must be the Qing army entering the city and starting a fierce battle with our army!" ”
The slave shook his head and said, "No! It looks like it came out of the city! Our army is trapped in the city! And listen again! It's as if we heard a shout that the court sent to save us! ”
Hong Chengchou couldn't hear clearly in the room, and he had to go outside to hear clearly. He listened intently, and he heard it clearly, and he was very happy, and said, "Yes! That's right! It's the voice of reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming! Ha Lu Ha! The emperor did not abandon us! The emperor still wants to save us! ”
When Hong Chengchou thought of this, he hurriedly straightened his clothes, and then knelt in the direction of Beijing and bowed.
He was about to go to his war horse, Hong Chengchou not only loves beauties, but also loves handsome manservants like women, which is the prevalent male fetish in Jiangnan.
Due to the long-term lack of food, his majestic war horse was so thin that only skin and bones remained, and many war horses were slaughtered and eaten, but the reason why Hong Chengchou's war horse was not slaughtered and eaten was that people wanted to keep this war horse, and when the time came, Hong Chengchou could ride this war horse and escape quickly.
Hong Chengchou jumped on the war horse, and the war horse couldn't run fast because it was extremely hungry and had no strength! And Hong Chengchou's line was attacked by the Qing army, and the Qing army obviously knew where his line was. yes! The betrayal of Xia Chengde and Jiang Fei revealed the whereabouts of Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou saw that Xingyuan was already surrounded by the Qing army, and his standard battalion soldiers had to desperately protect Hong Chengchou to escape. Of course, Hong Chengchou also knew that Cao Bianjiao and they would also come to save him.
Wang Tingchen said: "My lord, go quickly!" The end will desperately protect the adults to escape! The royal courtier then said to his own soldiers: "We swear to the death to protect the Lord out of the army!" "Good!" Wang Tingchen's subordinates were all loyal, and of course they responded to every call.
The Qing army came like a tide, and although Wang Tingchen could still protect Hong Chengchou at first, he was scattered not far after. He could only look at Hong Chengchou from afar, but he still tried his best to rush over desperately, and he had to save Hong Chengchou.
As Hong Chengchou said, although Cao Bianjiao, a fierce general, had a serious fever, he still wanted to save Hong Chengchou, and despite his serious illness, he led his soldiers and Liaodong Governor Qiu Minyang and others to rush over with his troops.
"Ahem!" Cao Bianjiao coughed, he was very dizzy, because he had a terrible fever! As soon as he looked over, Hong Chengchou's line was completely surrounded by the Qing army.
Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Brothers, don't be afraid! Come with me to save Tai-sama! As he spoke, he stepped forward, and he heard the call of the Qing soldiers: "This is the Cao Bianjiao rebel who dared to break into the imperial camp some time ago!" Everyone! Capture him quickly! Don't let him escape! Sacrifice a thousand knives in front of the emperor to relieve the emperor's hatred! "These Qing soldiers also deliberately shouted in Chinese, which is obviously a kind of demonstration!
Cao Bianjiao saw a Qing cavalry rushing over, and stabbed him with a shot, if it was usual, Cao Bianjiao would have flashed very easily, but this time he had a fever, and he flashed very embarrassed.
Fortunately, his personal general came over and cleared the cavalry, saying: "Lord Zhentai, there are too many enemy troops!" What to do? ”
At this moment, they heard shouts one after another: "Catch Hong Chengchou!" We've caught Hong Chengchou! In fact, the Qing soldiers did not be able to catch Hong Chengchou, and the reason why they shouted to catch Hong Chengchou was to break the fighting spirit of the Ming army and let the Ming army be captured.
"What? Hong Chengchou was caught? "When Cao Bianjiao looked at Xingyuan, his eyes were full of tears! Hong Chengchou has been the governor of the trilateral for many years, and he has always been Hong Chengchou's old subordinate, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't keep Hong Chengchou and let Hong Chengchou be caught by the Qing soldiers!
As soon as Cao Bianjiao's soldiers heard that Hong Chengchou had been arrested, they lost their fighting spirit and didn't want to stay any longer, and even many of them were desperate.
Qiu Minyang saw that there were still battles happening in Xingyuan, the fighting did not stop, and the shouts of the soldiers started, and he seemed to hear that Hong Chengchou was still there, of course, he couldn't confirm it. So Qiu Minyang said: "Maybe this is the Qing soldiers' trick to disintegrate their fighting spirit!" Lord Hong wasn't caught by the East Captives! ”
But even if Hong Chengchou is not caught, they will not have the ability to move forward! And Cao Bianjiao's soldiers all believed that Hong Chengchou was captured, and they came to Cao Bianjiao's side and pleaded: "General Cao, let's get out of here quickly!" Anyway, the master has already been captured by the enemy! We're going to die here! ”
"Bastard!" Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Can't go!" If the master dies, I would rather die with the master of the platform! You and I have been following the Taiwan Master for a long time, and we have received a lot of favor from the Taiwan Lord! How can you not save the people of Taiwan today? ”
