Knowing that Yang Qiaoran, Li Dingguo and others led their troops to kill, Kong Youde, who did not know the height of the sky, led his army to Yanguan in Xing'an County, and refused to defend it, trying to eat this Ming army, but he did not know that his life would soon be lost in Guangxi. The June sun was fierce, scorching the earth, and the fighting spirit of the Ming army did not diminish in the slightest.

Kong Youde thought that Yang Qiaoran's army was vulnerable, so he went out of the pass to meet the battle. Under the command of Li Dingguo, the Southern Ming army set up an elephant formation with artillery, and the Qing army, which had never seen an elephant, was shocked and chaotic. The Ming army took advantage of the situation to kill the Qing army on their backs, and the corpses were all over the field. Kong Youde slashed and killed six or seven Qing soldiers in a row before he stabilized his position slightly.

Seeing that the soldiers were in full swing, the governor Yang Qiaoran was eager to try, gearing up, not caring that his martial arts were not exquisite, and he also went into battle, using the 180 moves of the Yang family's gun, pointing, picking, plucking, and stabbing in a good way, killing dozens of Qing soldiers, and shocking the guard Zhang Weijun in a cold sweat. The Ming army was deeply inspired and fought hard to kill the enemy, broke the Qing army, and won the victory in the Battle of Yanguan.

The Qing army lost their armor and most of them were beheaded, and the "Scud" Kong Youde, who saw that the situation was not good, was seriously injured, and he ran away, fortunately he ran fast, otherwise Li Dingguo would have cut off his dog's head on the spot. Ran to Jeonju, still trying to snipe the Ming army, and was defeated again.

Kong Youde fled back to Guilin alone in embarrassment, ordered the city gate to be closed, refused to fight, and was in a panic all day. Li Dingguo chased to Guilin by victory, surrounded the city in all directions, and this time Kong Youde couldn't run even if he had wings.

On the second day of the seventh month, Li Dingguo began to attack Guilin, and the fierce battle continued until the fourth day of the first month.

The Ming army began a general attack, and concentrated heavy artillery fire to drive the Qing army defending the city from the city. Under the cover of artillery fire and bows and arrows, the infantry army attacked under the city wall and erected ladders to attack the city, but the Qing army still resisted stubbornly.

"Oops-" Kong Youde, who was commanding in the city, screamed, an arrow in his forehead, and blood blurred his face.

Yang Qiaoran also wanted to win over Kong Youde, a traitor who had served the Ming Dynasty, and shouted in the distance: "Kong Youde, turn back to the shore!" As long as you surrender, everything is not to blame! ”

Like Kong Youde, who is a lost dog, where is he willing to follow, standing at the head of the city and roaring: "You go to die!" Yang Qiaoran - "Hitting Yang Qiaoran with a bow is an arrow, but fortunately, Li Dingguo is agile and catches the poisonous arrow that is flying with one hand.

Li Dingguo said: "Dogs can't change their nature of eating!" It's useless to talk to traitors about benevolence, righteousness and morality, only fists work, give me a hard deal with him-" ordered to continue the siege of the city, and the Ming army attacked the mountain city northwest of Guilin from the cloud ladder, broke the Wusheng Gate, and engaged in street battles with the defeated Qing army.

Kong Youde was hit by an arrow in the forehead, and he had already died in battle with the army, so he had to claw the arrow with one hand, swing his sword and cut off the arrow feathers, and ran down the city tower with severe pain, and returned to Fuzhong (Guiwang's Mansion) to look for gold sore medicine. The Southern Ming army had poured into the city of Guilin from all directions, and the arrogant Qing army lost its fierceness outside the pass at this time, and was defeated by the Ming army.

In fact, the reason why these Qing troops were able to enter the Central Plains was not how powerful they were, but that the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Youzhen was too suspicious, improperly employed people, and insufficient food and salary was not the most fatal. The military group that was placed in the hearts of the people in Jiangnan and was loyal and courageous did not need to be indecisive in dealing with the Manchus in the northeast, and how many people were there in the Eight Banners Army? If there was Zhu Di's martial arts and martial arts, the royal drive and personal conquest, the gathering of 300,000 elite divisions across the country, bringing the most advanced firearms, and leveling the Jurchen rebels in less than a year, the Qing army would be able to succeed, not how awesome Wu Sangui was, but the cannibalism of the Southern Ming army was too great!

The sound of artillery fire was getting closer and closer, and Kong Youde said to his wife: "Hurry up and change the children into the clothes of the common people, and before the Ming army breaks through the inner city, you can take the children and run for your life!" ”

His wife was a martyr, and she was dissatisfied with Kong Youde's traitorous behavior of seeking glory, but she did not show it, so she ordered an old servant to take the child to flee for her life, and before leaving, you said to the children: "You are the descendants of the white-clothed emperor Confucius, and your father recognized the thief as his father, so he ended up like this." The Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these traitors, and the biggest traitor Wu Sangui. After you escape safely, don't follow your father's example, and then work for the Qing court, hide your name, and escape into Buddhism, then you will be safe. ”

The children didn't seem to understand, nodded their heads, cried and said, "Mother, we remember." Come with us. ”

His wife knew very well that if she fled together, it would definitely not work, Princess Dingnan was too conspicuous in Guilin City, and it would affect the children, so she said: "Okay." Let's go separately and meet in the grove outside the city, and you go first, and if your mother and mother don't arrive in half an hour, don't wait. Come on! ”

The children pulled the corners of the princess's clothes and insisted on going together: "Mother, we don't worry about you, let's go together." ”

The princess was a little annoyed, and struggled to knock off the children's hands: "Listen to my mother's words!" If we don't leave, we'll all die. He pushed the children out of the house and let them out of the back garden.

The princess changed into civilian clothes when she entered the house, and the swords and guns outside the mansion rang out, and the Ming soldiers and horses of the brigade had surrounded the palace, and more than 200 Qing soldiers were still desperately resisting.

"I can't get out today, my poor children, my mother has let you down." The princess returned to the house, hung Bai Lian on the beam, stepped on it by herself, stretched her neck into it, and then kicked off the stool, her whole body was suspended, she grabbed Bai Lian with both hands, and after a while, she lost her breath, and Kong Youde's concubines also committed suicide one by one.

Kong Youde carried a sword, slashed and killed several little wives, like a headless fly jumping around, running everywhere there were Ming troops, this traitor had no way to retreat. He had no choice but to climb into the hall of the guests, pretending to be calm, sitting on the Taishi chair, and quietly waiting for Yang Qiaoran's arrival.

Time passed minute by minute, and Yang Qiaoran and Li Dingguo finally appeared at the gate with the Ming army. Yang Qiaoran smiled and said: "Kong Youde, you traitor, you admit a thief as your father, and become the descendant of Sage Kong in vain!" ”

Kong Youde is addicted to being a traitor, and sneered: "What is a traitor? What is a loyal servant? If you have milk, you are a mother, whoever recognizes me, who gives me glory and wealth, I will work for whom. ”

Li Dingguo disdained it and took a sip: "Da Ming treats you well, the milk of Manchurian ladies is delicious, right?" Your Excellency the Governor, don't reason with this traitor, send him to the West! ”

"Yes, then I'll go and end up with this dog thief now!" Yang Qiaoran raised the bright Miao knife and shouted.

"No, don't get your hands dirty. Brothers, archers prepare! Li Dingguo ordered the soldiers to set up bows and crossbows.

"Wait! I want him to taste life worse than death. Yang Qiaoran suddenly took out the flintlock pistol on his waist and fired three shots at Kong Youde.

A puff of black smoke came out of the barrel, and Kong Youde was hit in both legs and belly, and almost fell to the ground. This guy didn't die immediately, he struggled in pain to do a good job, and said to Yang Qiaoran: "I know that you are a descendant of Yang Hong, the Marquis of Changping, a sixth-generation official who relies on his ancestors to eat If you want to come to your martial arts, what do you want to do with firearms?" ”

Yang Qiaoran smiled: "Martial arts can be practiced hard the day after tomorrow, it doesn't matter how many generations my official is, what matters is my character." No matter how good your martial arts are, no matter how strong your ability is, if you betray your ancestors, God is not blind, and evil will be rewarded! You're not qualified to speak of me! What about the descendants of Confucius, they are not a big traitor! ”

Yang Qiaoran took out another musket and shot it at Kong Youde's left chest: "No matter how good your martial arts are, you're afraid of this!" ”

Yang Qiaoran deliberately didn't hit the vital point, he wanted to slowly torture this traitor. The bullets of this shot were matched with porcelain tile fragments, and Kong Youde screamed in pain like killing a pig.

Yang Qiaoran wiped the barrel of the gun and blew lightly: "Brothers, give me a bird gun, I want Kong Youde to feel the taste of being shot by a bird gun before he dies." ”

"Yang Qiaoran, you might as well kill me directly!" Kong Youde prayed.

“NO，NO，NO！ It's too cheap for you! Yang Qiaoran said in the English words he had just learned.

Kong Youde knew very well at this moment that Yang Qiaoran would not let him go, this was forcing him to commit suicide: "Yang Qiaoran, as long as you let me go back, I will promise you anything, how about it?" ”

"No! Kong Youde, it's not the first time you have betrayed the court, why should we believe you? I want to hang you at the gate of the city, so that the people of the world can see what the big traitor looks like, and I want the people to decide whether you live or die. ”

Yang Qiaoran pulled the trigger, raised the shotgun, and aimed at Kong Youde. Kong Youde was sweating profusely in fright.

"Bang bang-" Yang Qiaoran fired two shots in a row, Kong Youde actually blocked one bullet with his sword, and the other hit his right chest, making a bloody hole.

Kong Youde couldn't bear the pain, and he pushed the sword to his neck, cutting his throat and major carotid artery, blood gushing out, and within a few days, Kong Youde was killed.

"Shameful traitor! Don't leave a whole corpse for him when he dies, come and drag him out, put dry wood on the open space outside, and burn him with fire! Li Dingguo Road.

Outside the house, the fire ignited, and it didn't take long for Kong Youde, the big lackey of the Qing court, to be extinguished......

Aixin Jueluo Fulin, who was in Beijing, was surprised for a long time when he heard that Kong Youde had committed suicide in defeat, and ordered Prince Nikan to lead a group of men and horses to kill Hunan in anger. According to Yang Qiaoran's predetermined deployment, Ma Jinzhong and others of the Southern Ming Dynasty guarded the troops, hid their troops, and adopted the method of luring the enemy deep into bringing Nikan into the ambush area. Of course, if you want to get your hands on Nikan, a big fish, you have to give him a taste of sweetness first.

Nikan is one of the three auxiliary kings, is a murderous Jurchen warrior, and Jiangbei Ming army, Dashun army has fought, because of the disunity of these armed forces, he picked up a lot of falling fruit, everywhere, burning, killing, robbing, adultery, all evil.

Yang Qiaoran said: "This person is even more arrogant than Kong Youde, if he is killed, my Ming Dynasty's anti-Qing cause will blossom everywhere!" Li Dingguo said, "Your Excellency, what plan do you have to destroy Nikan?" ”

Yang Qiaoran smiled and said, "General, don't worry. Let's wait for Ma Jinzhong's good news! ”

Nikan, who entered Hengzhou from Xiangtan, won a small victory, captured four elephants and more than 800 war horses of the Ming army, and was overjoyed, thinking that the Southern Ming army was also as greedy for life and afraid of death as the Dashun army, which was not worth mentioning, and rashly entered Guibei, and his death time came.

The Qing army has been chasing for more than 20 miles, and there is no shadow of the Ming army, and several Qing army leaders are inevitably a little discouraged: "Lord Wang, the Ming army is as timid as a mouse, and it has long been frightened, and it does not dare to come out to fight, so we might as well go back to Hunan, right?" ”

Nikan laughed wildly: "The Southern Ming army that was ordered to conquer Yang Qiaoran and Li Dingguo returned in vain, doesn't it make the people of the world laugh at the cowardice of this king?" Pass my orders and go full speed! So the Qing army accelerated and continued the pursuit.

The elephant, perhaps smelling the scent of its nearby owner, became restless and began to roar as it walked, thus revealing the approximate location of Nikan, and was quietly closing in. The outflanked Ming army quickly assembled towards the elephant's voice.

Suddenly, with a few whistles, the elephant galloped wildly, rampage against the Qing army of the brigade, trampling to death a lot of infantry, and the whole formation was in chaos. I don't know when nearly 100,000 Ming troops came overwhelmingly, and Nikan was wrapped in dumplings.

The tiger squat cannon continued to sound, the sound of muskets and bowstrings was dense, the Ming army launched a long-distance attack on the Qing army, most of the Qing army were backward spears and broadswords, and within a stick of incense, these tens of thousands of Qing troops were all wiped out.

Surrounded by a heavy siege, Nikan commanded the remaining hundreds of Manchu troops to desperately rush to kill, and Nikan's war horse jumped and fell into the quagmire. Nikan, the executioner, shot all the bows and arrows he carried, so he had to draw his sword and charge the Ming army. Under the command of Ma Jinzhong, Nikan was short of breath and was hacked to death by the Ming army in the array.

Liu Wenxiu's army, which entered Sichuan on the other hand, also won a victory, seized a lot of territory, and was defeated by Wu Sangui in Baoning, and the Qing army such as Wu Sangui, who had a miserable victory, did not dare to pursue because of their scruples.
