How the imperial court organized a large army to resist the Eastern Prisoners, Li Xingzhi naturally had no way of knowing, he only knew that a large number of cavalry troops in the Eastern Territories had invaded the territory of Xin'an.

According to the report from the sentinel deployed by Wang Zhong on the horse shed, this group of pigtailed soldiers all waved the white flag, and then the flag was written with a big Sun character.

According to Li Xingzhi's estimation, the leader of this group of braids was in the battle of Shaling, escaped from the battle and then sold Sun Degong of Guangning.

However, it is said that Sun De's power of 2,000 is the white flag Han army since leaving Tongzhou is a rapid advance, the states and counties that pass through do not dare to be arbitrary, Bazhou, Xiongxian, Anzhou and other places The Ming Dynasty garrisons either abandoned the city and fled, or surrendered without a fight.

After seeing that the Ming army was so unbearable, Sun Degong divided his men and horses into several teams, and led a Niu Lu with his cronies Lang Shaozhen, Wang Jin, Lu Guozhi and others, and the Han army entered the territory of Xin'an separately.

On September 13, after slaughtering thousands of civilians in Dawang Town and Santai Town, Sun Degong's troops arrived at Xin'an City in turn.

Lu Liangzhi of Xin'an Zhi County has been strengthening the Xin'an city defense after the retreat of Lijiashan, so in the face of the menacing pigtail soldiers, he was not afraid at all, and tore up Sun Degong's arrow book at the head of Xin'an City, and drew his sword to point directly at the Manchurian soldiers under the city, and issued a declaration that life is a Ming person, and death is a Ming ghost.

Sun Degong was furious, that is, the overseer army attacked the city, Sun sent troops from Chenshi, stormed the east gate of Xin'an, Lu Liang worked hard regardless of himself, and insisted on resisting with Liu Zhongwu and others in Xin'an, and Sun Degong's Han army was not allowed to advance from Chen to noon.

Seeing that he could not break through the Ming army's defense line, Sun Degong adopted the strategy of attacking the east and the west, and continued to storm the east gate, but ordered Wang Jin to lead the Han army of two Niu Lu to take the opportunity to sneak attack the west gate of Xin'an.

Clinker Lu Liangzhi has already prepared, when Wang Jinbu ascended the city, the people who defended the city threw down countless stones, and some people poured down the burning hot gold juice along the wall battlements, and the Ming army defending the city also lit two tiger squat cannons erected at the west gate in a timely manner.

The traitor army that landed in the city suffered dozens of casualties under the dense firepower, and the remaining traitor army retreated in a hurry under this passive situation.

Sun Degong's Han army is its Guangning guerrilla belonging, after taking refuge in the east, the old slave then organized them as the left wing of the Han army, to the slave chief Hong Tai succeeded to the throne, wantonly surrendered and rebelled, and set up the Han army four banners, Sun Degong because of the contribution to Guangning, was awarded by Hong Tai as the Han army is the white flag of the Han army Melle Zhangjing, the soldiers and horses under his command have also expanded to 2,000 people, of which the cavalry has two full of Niu Lu, and the rest follow the Manchurian army and adapt to the heavy infantry.

This army and horse is not only Sun Degong's powerful arm to attack the city, but also his capital to live in troubled times, storming for a day, Sun Degong's casualties were nearly one percent but he didn't even touch the edge of Xin'an, how not to make Sun Degong depressed.

Seeing that Xin'an was in a hurry, his descendants Youguang suggested: "Father, the thieves are defending the city, and our army lacks the equipment to attack the fortifications. ”

Sun Degong was overjoyed when he heard this, so he summoned the generals to discuss the strategy of driving the people to attack the city.

Lang Shaozhen, Lu Guozhi and others also think that driving the people to attack the city is the best policy, so that there is no need to lose the troops of the party, and the materials of the Ming thieves can be consumed.

Wang Jin said hesitantly: "General, although we defect to the Qing Dynasty, but in the end we are also Han people, if we are on the battle array, we will be our own masters, and it is not a matter to kill the Ming thief, if we attack the unarmed people, I am afraid that the end will hurt the heavens and peace." ”

Lang Shaozhen sneered: "Wang Jin, aren't you crazy, His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty has lifted us into the Zhengbai Banner, our brothers are now authentic flag people, those lowly Han people are born to be pigs and dogs for us, they can be cannon fodder for us, that is to lift them." ”

Sun Degong waved his hand and said: "What Wu'er said is right, there are only 2,000 soldiers in this chapter, if the loss is too much, it is not easy for Prince Rui to explain, I mean that my son Sun Youguang and Brother Lang will lead a Niulu cavalry to the south, and drive all the people south of Xin'an to Xin'an." ”

"The last general will obey!"

Lang Shaozhen, Sun Youguang, Lu Guozhi and others suddenly received the order, and Wang Jin also surrendered his hand in desperation.

At this time, it was getting late, so Sun Degong ordered all the troops to return to the camp and do this plan again tomorrow.

When Sun Degong was planning to drive the people to attack the city, Lu Liangzhi of Xin'an Zhi County was also discussing with Liu Zhongwu, Guo Shao and others about the strategy of breaking the slaves.

Guo Shao suggested that it was better to follow Chongzhen's tactics of defeating the Donglu in the ninth year, dig the Chedian Lake, and flood the camp of the braided soldiers, and the Donglu will retreat!

Liu Zhongwu believed that the eastern captives came with light troops, and they did not bring much grain and straw, and they all relied on the plundering of the columns, and since the other army entered the Kou, the prefectures and counties they passed through were invincible, and they would inevitably be arrogant and not prepared, and if our army attacked the camp at night and burned the grain and grass of the eastern captives, its army would retreat.

Lu Liangzhi agreed, so he ordered Liu Zhongwu to select more than 100 elite soldiers and prepare to attack the camp at night.

Sure enough, as Liu Zhongwu expected, the pigtailed soldiers under Xin'an City did not expect that the Ming army would dare to sneak out of the city to attack, and they had no defense at all.

After the third watch that night, Liu Zhongwu took more than 100 soldiers and soldiers to quietly go down Xin'an City along the rope.

Sun Degong's army only had 2,000 soldiers, which was not enough to besiege the city, so he had to set up a large camp in Xin'an Dongcheng.

The East Captives were fierce, Liu Zhongwu did not dare to attack head-on, but took his men around to the rear camp of the East Captives, by the moonlight, Liu Zhongwu found that there were only more than ten people on duty in the back camp of the East Captives, and this group of pigtailed soldiers were either leaning on the wall of the wall and pretending to sleep, or holding the fire to roast the fire.

Seeing that Donglu was defenseless, Liu Zhongwu was overjoyed, Li Jiashan fought a battle, he was captured alive by Li Xingzhi, and it was Lu Liangzhi who ransomed him with artillery, so he kept holding his breath in his heart, thinking that he wanted to make war merits, so as to redeem his merits.

Now that the opportunity has come, how not to stir his heart, so he ordered in a low voice: "Now let's raid the camp of the Tartars, brothers must not fall in love with war, we just need to burn the Tartar grain and grass is a great achievement." ”

All the Ming troops understood it, and took advantage of the night to remove the antlers and rushed straight to Sun Degong's rear camp, and the traitor army who stayed in the rear camp was defenseless, and was broken in by Liu Zhongwu in one fell swoop, and the Qing army was in chaos.

Liu Zhongwu hurried forward with a sword, and at the same time shouted for his soldiers to set fire.

After the fire was lit, the fire flew in the wind, covering the sky and the ground, burning the back village through the ground.

After the Qing army under Sun Degong's command was suddenly attacked, they were in chaos, running around like headless flies in the camp.

In the chaos, Sun Degong beheaded several rebel troops, gathered hundreds of men and horses and rushed straight to the back village, but at this time, Liu Zhongwu had already fled with his people.

Looking at the back camp like daylight, Sun Degong looked up to the sky and sighed, without food and grass, it would be a problem for his military horses to eat, where could he attack Xin'an again.

His descendant Youguang said: "Father, for today's plan, we can only go to Gaoyang to get food, and when we have enough food, it is not too late to take revenge." ”
