The rise of the Jianzhou people depends not only on the decline of the surrounding Mongols, nor only on the decline of the Ming Dynasty, it includes luck, including brains, bravery, and incomparable ruthlessness and brutality.

Azig was as fierce and brainy as Lao Tzu was, and he decided quickly, and the discipline of the Eight Banners played a crucial role at this time. With Azig's order, the Eight Banners began to organize in front of the pontoon bridge, and the slaughter came quickly, as long as they did not obey the order and continued to approach the pontoon bridge, they would be killed behind without exception.

Blood stained this path of life, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners lined up on both sides of the entrance of the pontoon bridge in a very orderly manner, and the remaining Xinhan troops were driven far away on both sides.

At this time, the cavalry led by Liu Qi and Huang Degong's general soldiers and horses was about to arrive, and Zhou Yuji's terrifying infantry was estimated to be not far away.

Standing on the pontoon, the loss was inevitable, Azig's eyes turned red, and he looked at Shang Kexi: "Please Zhishun King Break Queen." Then Azig looked at another Mongolian leader with braided hair: "Please ask the cavalry of Uliangha to cooperate with King Zhishun to stop the Ming army." ”

Azig didn't dare to use Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses to break off now, he was afraid that Wu Sangui would turn against the water again, and he didn't dare to use the cavalry of the Kormi Mongols as a substitute for the dead ghosts, because the relationship between the Kormi Mongols and Jianzhou was too close, and letting the Kormi Mongol cavalry be the substitutes for the dead ghosts was equivalent to cutting off an arm. As for the new Han army that did not cross the river, it was even more useless, and after the cavalry crossed the river, it was the Eight Banners infantry and Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses, and the new Han army was left to fend for itself.

Shang Kexi didn't have the right to refuse, and he didn't dare, he didn't hesitate to take the order: "Obey the order of the prince!" ”

And the Mongolian leader of Uliangha (Duoyan Mongolia) has a relatively straight personality, and he immediately said: "Lord, how can these few people under me be enough!" ”

"And the army of King Zhishun, let's execute it!" Azig didn't have the heart or time to deal with this Mongolian fool who loves you and took care of the dead ghost, and after saying that, he went directly to the bridge.

The cavalry of the Qing army roared onto the pontoon bridge. Shang Kexi didn't pay attention to this substitute ghost with the same fate as himself, he rode out: "The whole team, the cavalry is in front, the foot soldiers are behind, meet up!" ”

The other soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Army are equivalent to supervising the battle, Shang Kexi has no choice, death is not terrible, as for how to die, there is still a saying, when he turned his head, Shang Kexi's angry eyes have explained everything.

The cavalry of the Ming army was already approaching. The trembling of the ground and the rolling yellow dust were so exciting, and the cavalry that was still happy slowly began to accelerate against the Ming army.

“xiangyou~”

Shang Kexi gave the order, and he led his more than 2,000 cavalry to get out of the way, and then the foot soldiers also began to move. Avoiding the edge is equivalent to withdrawing from the battle, Shang Kexi's right side is water, it is the same boundless Hongze Lake, Shang Kexi made his own choice.

Liu Qi and the cavalry led by Ma De ignored the Shang Kexi army on the side, and they rushed towards the thousands of Mongolian cavalry like fools.

The sound of the fire bell sounded first. Quite simply, these Mongol substitutes collapsed immediately

On the south side of the outlet of Hongze Lake is a huge sandy beach, on which Shang Kexi led his army to gather.

"It's okay to let me die! But I won't let the brothers who have followed me for many years die like this with me, we have sold enough for Jiannu! All for me to remember today! I'm still a traitor! is a big traitor who was abandoned by Jiannu! But you still have a chance. Back to Daming, Daming is our home, even if we are humiliated, we are still Han after all. Remember them all! Jiannu can never be trusted! ”

Shang Kexi had already burst into tears, he and these subordinates who had been fighting with Jiannu for many years had been abandoned like this, and how many battles he had experienced. Haven't you done enough for Jiannu all these years? This humiliation made his heart ache.

Nothing matters, what could be more infuriating than being treated as a substitute for the dead, the family can not do it, everything is not wanted, Shang Kexi wants these subordinates to live, wants them to continue to fight, and let these battle-hardened warriors take revenge on Jiannu and avenge their families.

"Dismount! All cut off their braids and throw away their weapons! ”

Shang Kexi took off the war knife on his waist and threw it on the beach, then pulled off his helmet and fell to the ground

At this time, there was a bigger yellow dust in the southwest direction, and soon after, a striking Zhouzi banner was waving in the wind, getting closer and closer, and Zhou Huchen arrived.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhou Huchen gave an order, and tens of thousands of foot soldiers rushed to the pontoon bridge, which had been messed up into a pot of porridge. Soon, a drum sound of "dong" sounded.

Liu Qi was leading the cavalry to gallop and kill desperately outside the huge Jiannu infantry, and when the first drum beat sounded, Liu Qi smiled.

When Ma Degong's cavalry saw that Liu Qi's cavalry began to withdraw from the chaotic battlefield, they also understood that the foot soldiers were coming up, and there was no need to fight hard, so Ma Degong immediately led the team to flash to the right flank.

"Quick! Hurry up! It's our show time, blast these Jiannu cannon fodder to minced meat for me! ”

Running with all his might in the summer, the sweat had soaked through the military uniform of Meng Yun, the commander of the artillery team, but Meng Yun had forgotten everything, the sea of people in front of him was too tempting, and Meng Yun's excited cold hair stood up when he thought of the rain-like cannonballs falling into the crowd.

The gunners acted too efficiently, one soldier put the base, one soldier immediately put the barrel, and the third soldier had already prepared the gun mount, and in just a few dozen minutes, the gun was set up, and these small guns formed a forest of artillery.

"Uninterrupted shelling ~Begin~"

In addition to the pontoon bridge, there are Shang Kexi's troops who are ready to surrender and some new Han troops who are far away, and the Jiannu infantry army that has not crossed the river is all concentrated in front of the pontoon bridge and becomes the target, when the sound of hundreds of mortars sounds, when the uninterrupted projectiles continue to rise, fall, and explode, the entire pontoon bridge has completely become a hell on earth

The distance was too far for Shang Kexi to see the situation in front of the pontoon, but the projectiles that kept rising into the air and the endless explosions made him feel lucky, and maybe this luck would bring him hope for life.

Amid the sound of artillery and explosions, nearly a thousand cavalry approached the beach where Shang Kexi's army was located, and a knight rode out after seeing the condition of Shang Kexi's army.

"General Ben, Fucheng Hou's guerrilla general Zhang Dengke, are you sure you want to surrender?"

Zhang Dengke held his head proudly, he saw the situation in front of him, these people seemed to be preparing to surrender, Zhang Dengke came to Shang Kexi and the others with a cold and shining sword. Then he opened his mouth and asked.

"The criminal officer is still happy to meet the general, and the criminal officer is sure to be demoted." Shang Kexi no longer has any illusions, and surrender is the only way to survive.

"Shang Kexi come with me and go to meet the prince Shaobao, Dongchang Bo Zhou Dashuai!" Zhang Dengke's face was expressionless, and he looked at Shang Kexi as if he were looking at a dead man.

Zhou Huchen is sitting in the back road, he is recuperating, and he is also estimating the time, estimating that the shelling will be over and solving these obstacles. The all-out pursuit will begin again.

Zhang Dengke ran over, and he ran over with a smile.

"It's still gratifying! Bring it here! Zhou Huchen also smiled, this is the Qing court's zuihou a Sanshun king, from now on, let the Sanshun king become a historical term in the future.

"The criminal officer is still happy to visit Uncle Dongchang, and he has admired the name of Uncle Chang for a long time! The criminal knows that he deserves to die, but he asks the uncle to take in these warriors under the criminal officer, and the criminal warlord assures the uncle that these warriors will always be loyal! also asked the uncle to take them in, and the sinner was willing to be cut by a thousand knives. ”

Shang Kexi, who was kneeling in front of Zhou Huchen's eyes, was not amazing. It's a bald head, and he knows how to cut off his braids, he's very smart, and his mouth is good. It's kind of talkative.

Zhou Huchen quietly looked at Shang Kexi, who was kneeling in front of him, and at this time, the sound of the cannon stopped.

The drums sounded again, and this was the drumming of the infantry sorties. The time has come for Zuihou near the pontoon.

"Shang Kexi, since you want to surrender, you must have the appearance of surrender and be the vanguard of Benbo. If Ben Bo is satisfied, he guarantees that you will not be spared, and all your subordinates will not be discriminated against by anyone. They will be my men, and they will be treated equally! ”

"If there are two ends of the end, if I betray the court and the marquis, I will still be happy to cut off my children and grandchildren, and I will never be able to be a human being!" This has exceeded Shang Kexi's expectations, and he knelt on the ground excitedly and kept kowtowing, banging.

That's not all, Zhou Huchen threw the bait again: "If you can do it, Uncle Ben guarantees that the traitor will tick off your name and let you be a dignified person again!" ”

These soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Army are too useful for Zhou Huchen, and they will go out of the customs by themselves in the future, these soldiers who are familiar with the northern land are undoubtedly the most haode leaders, and they are also the absolute liliang who regain the hearts of the people outside the customs, Zhou Huchen can not use it. This Shang Kexi is actually completely usable, Zhou Huchen regretted it after killing Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who had surrendered, and the traitors also had some difficulties for the traitors, and they betrayed the Ming Dynasty out of a kind of helplessness. The reason why Zhou Huchen killed Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming was completely because of a kind of anger that suffered heavy losses at that time, out of lack of consideration, he must now keep Shang Kexi as a benchmark, this kind of thing of buying horse bones is definitely worth using.

The bait was big enough, which made Shang Kexi cry, and he began to choke:

"Hou Ye's great kindness and great virtue are still gratifying, eternal and unforgettable, if there is a different heart, he will be a man in vain, please rest assured that Hou Ye, his subordinates will do it for you!"

Zuo Mengeng's army in the river had withdrawn, and Zhou Huchen's gunners were very professional, and they didn't blow up the pontoon bridge.

Unfortunately, the Qing army that ran across the pontoon bridge still cut the rope, and in order to allow their army to cross the river as quickly as possible, Yu Dahu and Xu Ziqiang's troops immediately began to reconnect the pontoon bridge. The army behind him was very large, and it was urgent to rebuild the pontoon bridge, and at the same time as the cavalry crossed the bridge, Yu Dahu and Xu Ziqiang's men immediately began to build the pontoon bridge.

There were corpses strewn all over the field, countless stumps mixed with corpses scattered all over the river, and blood seeped into the sand in front of the pontoon bridge, turning the sand red. Their losses were minimal, the corpses of the enemy were quickly thrown to the sides, and as the cavalry stepped onto the pontoon bridge, the foot soldiers began to follow up across the river.

Almost half a day later, Huang Degong finally led the foot soldiers to the river exhausted, and at this time, Zhou Huchen's foot soldiers had already arrived at the edge of Hongze County, which was close to Hongze Lake.

Liu Qi and Huang Degong's cavalry ignored the small group of Jiannu routers along the way, and at this time, they were entangled with Azig in the north of Hongze County. Not far behind Azig was the hundreds of thousands of foot soldiers who crossed the river, and in order to keep these living liliang, Azig had to let the cavalry turn back again to block the cavalry of the Ming army.

The arrival of night helped Azig, and at sunset, Zhou Huchen's foot soldiers caught up and were no longer able to fight, and the cavalry under Liu Qi and Huang Degong had to stop attacking. (To be continued......)
