Wu Sangui's troops slowly entered the mountain path, arranged into a long snake, and walked in a bustling manner. After walking for a while, the Qing army began to climb the mountain, and it continued, and it didn't take long for more than 12,000 people to cross the top of the mountain, and the surroundings were still quiet.

Wu Sangui stopped his war horse and looked up to the sky and laughed: "Sun Monkey (Sun Kewang) refuses to come, this king is not rare!" As long as this king passes here, Li Dingguo has nowhere to escape! ”

As soon as the words fell, a man wearing the uniform of a Ming Dynasty general ran out of the grass, his eyes were purring, his expression was nervous, he looked around, and hit his head on the belly of a Qing cavalryman.

Wu Sangui waved his horsewhip and shouted: "Where did you come from, take it down for me-"

This person is Lu Guisheng, who saw countless Manchu and Han coalition troops coming up the mountain in black, for fear that his life would be in danger, he wanted to escape, and he panicked, but as soon as he came out, he bumped into Wu Sangui. The Qing army tied him up and escorted him to Wu Sangui.

When Lu Guisheng saw the fierce and vicious Wu Sangui, his soul was almost gone, and his whole body trembled. Wu Sangui slashed at him and slashed his head with two horse whips: "Who is coming?" Why are you wearing Ming army clothes? ”

Lu Guisheng is a soft-boned, thin skin and tender meat, and suddenly the skin and flesh are open, and he screams in pain, and immediately kneels on the ground: "The general spares his life, I am here to surrender, I will say everything-"

Wu Sangui motioned to loosen his tie, Lu Guisheng touched his hot face, and rubbed his numb hands, shy, like a girl. Wu Sangui glared: "Don't hurry up and recruit from the truth!" ”

"Yes. Checkmate. Lu Guisheng immediately leaked to Sangui the ambush plan of Dingguo, pointing out that the Qing soldiers had strayed into the ambush circle of the Ming army.

Gao Wengui, who was hiding in the bushes, was so angry that his teeth rattled, and he really wanted to kill this traitor with an arrow, but the first ambush circle did not fire, so he had to give up.

After hearing this, Wu Sangui was shocked and said: "Li Dingguo is really vicious, and he wants to kill this king!" Thanks to Mr. who sacrificed his life to save him, this king will be grateful in the future! ”

So Wu Sangui hurriedly issued an order to let the Qing army, which had entered the second road, retreat, and ordered the cavalry to dismount, ride on foot, and search and kill the ambush soldiers in the grass and trees on the side of the road. At the same time, the artillery was ordered to fire at the ravines and ravines, and the archers fired fiercely with arrows, and the artillery fire detonated, and many Ming troops were blown to pieces.

The soldiers in ambush did not see the signal of attack, and did not dare to go out to fight without authorization, so they listened to the roar of guns and cannons, and arrows flew indiscriminately, and they fell to death in the forest ditch one after another, and the Ming army was seriously damaged for a while.

"The enemy has already seen through the ambush, and he can't let his brother die in vain, open fire-" Dou Minwang, who was hidden in the first ambush line, had no choice but to launch artillery to fight.

Dou Fame fought desperately. When the two sides fought fiercely, he swung his sword and fought hard, stabbing more than 100 people. Suddenly, a bullet flew and passed under his flank, bleeding profusely, still wielding a knife to the death. I couldn't support it, so I broke through, walked for miles, and fell to the ground because of excessive bleeding, and never got up again......

The Ming soldiers of the second and third ambush lines also fired artillery and sent troops to the rescue, rushed into the enemy's army, and launched a thrilling and vicious battle with the enemy. The two sides are in close contact on the mountain, swords and swords, flesh and blood flying, war horses collide randomly, shouting to kill the body and shaking the sky, immediately the sky is dark, the Qing army was hacked to death countless, although the Ming army is brave and good at fighting, but also suffered heavy losses.

The battle began, and Li Dingguo was sitting on the top of the mountain, and when he heard that the horn was out of order, he was very surprised, and what he was most worried about finally happened. Suddenly, a cannonball landed in front of him, exploding violently, and the dust that stirred up flew all over his face.

A traitor's whistleblower disrupted Li Dingguo's overall battle plan, and the ambush battle was forced to turn into a blocking battle, so he had to lead the rear army into the position to reinforce the ambush troops, and Li Dingguo calmly supervised the battle according to the danger.

The resistance battle was very hard, and the Qing army's Zhuo Butai and Doni troops also rushed over to rescue Wu Sangui. The fierce fighting lasted from midnight until noon, and the mountains were littered with corpses everywhere, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. The Ming army lost more than 4,000 horses, and the general Wang Xi and others were killed in battle, while Wu Sangui's subordinates were below the capital, and 18 generals such as Gushan Ezhen Shalibu and Zu Zerun and auxiliary state officials and Zakana were killed, and the Qing army that had gone up the mountain did not survive, and lost nearly 10,000 elites.

Li Dingguo set up an ambush and hit the Qing army hard, so there is a poem to praise: Rin is lonely and loyal, and he wants to hold up the sky with a wood in his hand. The mill battlefield people still know that phosphorus fire is often used in the sun.

In view of the heavy losses of the Southern Ming army and the inability to counterattack the Qing army, Li Dingguo decided to leave Tengyue Prefecture, ordered the Dingshuo general Wu San Province to break off and collect the defeated soldiers, and led the main force to Mengding, and got in touch with Yang Qiaoran's troops in the car.

After hearing this, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but leave sad tears, and cried bitterly: "I am a sinner for thousands of years, I know that Lu Guisheng's origin is unknown, but I want to take it with me, which hurts the King of Jin and kills the soldiers." I am the number one fool in the world...... The Ming Dynasty was destroyed in my hands......"

After Zhu Youlang finished crying, the messenger said: "Your Excellency the Governor still has something for me to tell the emperor, the new army in the car is almost ready, and it is ready to enter Ava City to rescue the driver at any time in conjunction with Bai Wenxuan." ”

"What new army, how many people? Let's hear it. ”

Although the interior of Yunnan was occupied by the Qing army, there were still many troops scattered in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan who insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty. The Governor hopes that the Emperor will return to China as soon as possible......"

"To the point, I don't want to hear the rest."

"The new army is equipped with all firearms and equipment, equipped with tiger squat cannons, red-coated cannons, and muskets, and the soldiers practice day and night, and the new army has about 5,000 people......"

As soon as Zhu Youlang heard that there were so few new soldiers, his face sank: "There are only 5,000 people, and the strength of the Qing army in Yunnan is more than 100,000 or 200,000, how can we fight them?" ”

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, listen to the minister's words-"

"The Governor has agreed with the King of Jin to enter Burma together. If the recklessness dares to stop us from saving us, they will take advantage of the situation to occupy the whole of Burma. ”

"This ...... Rong Zhen think about it. Zhu Youlang remembered that not long ago, the size of his jade seal was inconsistent with the jade seal of the country, but fortunately, Mu Tianbo's Qianguo Gong Da was there, and Mangda refused to meet, so he sent someone to take in the soldiers and officials who entered Burma. If you attack the city of Ava, you will have a slight mistake, and you will not even have a place to stay.

"Your Majesty, how's it going?"

"No! Before I see the envoy of the King of Jin, I must not act recklessly. ”......

From then on, Zhu Youlang no longer told the soldiers around him about returning to China, and he got by, and willingly endured the reckless bullying and white eyes.

On the twenty-ninth day of the first month of the leap month in the fourteenth year of Yongli (1660), Bai Wenxuan, the king of Gongchang, led his troops from the snow mountain to climb the cliff and attach the trees to Longchuan. On 15 February, he and Li Dingguo's army met in Mubang as agreed, and the two discussed that the top priority at the moment was to bring Emperor Yongli back to Yunnan, stabilize the morale of the army, and re-raise the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty.

Subsequently, Bai Wenxuan led the troops into the grinding and Yonghui in Burma. The weather was hot, Bai Wenxuan ordered his subordinates to unload their armor and unsaddle on the spot, rest in the shade of a tree, and sent two envoys to find the local officials of Burma, informing them that the Ming army had no other intention to enter Burma this time, but only to bring back the Yongli Emperor.

Unexpectedly, the envoy who went to Burma was robbed and killed by the Burmese on the way, and ten more cavalry were sent to explain the reason for entering Burma, but they were still killed by the Burmese soldiers.

"It seems that it is not possible to look at Manda without giving it some color." Bai Wenxiu, the king of Jin, pulled out his sword and said angrily......

The first two times the Ming army entered Burma to rescue the driver, because of his cowardice and ignorance, he failed. Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, Yang Qiaoran and others were still active in the Yunnan-Burma border area, and still maintained secret contacts with Zheng Chenggong, Zhang Huangyan and other anti-Qing forces who were guarding Fujian islands.

The loyal Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan repeatedly sent people into Burma to rescue Zhu Youlang, but Zhu Youlang blocked the rescuers in a daze on the grounds of damaging diplomatic relations.

In the face of such a muddy exiled emperor, many people in the Nanming army were disheartened, and some people persuaded Li Dingguo: "If the saint doesn't want to return to China, don't force him anymore, let him die in Ava City!" It's better to stand on your own......"

Li Dingguo still insisted on serving Zhu Youlang of the Southern Ming Dynasty as Zhengshuo: "This king is the Jin king of the Ming Dynasty, and the saint is a banner of resistance to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yang Qiaoran said: "The top priority at the moment is to try our best to bring the saint back from Myanmar, not to argue about who will be the boss." ”

Yang Xuegao said: "Now that the plateau of northern Myanmar has become a new anti-Qing base, it is not safe for the saint to return to Yunnan, so it is better to welcome him to northern Myanmar." ”

Yang Qiaoran said: "This is a good idea, it can not only resist the Qing Dynasty, but also warn the king of Burma not to make friends with the Qing court at both ends." Kill two birds with one stone, why not? ”

Li Dingguo nodded: "Mangda took the saint as a hostage, and forced the saint to retreat our army several times. I also want to lead the army directly into Ava City, and I am afraid that the emperor's life will not be guaranteed. ”

Yang Qiaoran said: "I was afraid of wolves and tigers, and I was so arrogant because I grasped our weakness." Without considering the emperor's safety, he directly entered Ava City, captured Mangda alive, and everything was solved. ”

Yang Xuegao said worriedly: "The main force of the Burmese army has fought with our army many times, and there is not much left, so it is the best policy for us to take advantage of the situation to occupy Burma and open up new territory." Moreover, Mangda has long been suspicious of the emperor's identity and has an indifferent attitude towards me. I'm afraid that he will join forces with the Qing court and betray the saint, and then we will have no chance to save the emperor! ”

Li Dingguo said: "This king thinks it is impossible, Mangda took in the emperor at the beginning, and now he is raising troops to attack Burma, which is unjust." ”

Yang Qiaoran sighed and said: "When I first entered Burma, Mangda did not visit the emperor according to the etiquette of the vassal country, and deliberately insulted the Duke of Qianguo, which was obviously despising my Daming. Mangda is a capricious villain, and he no longer regards my Daming as a suzerain. ”
