"General Li, your people are unreasonable, they actually beat our generals, I can't swallow this breath."

The two groups of people suddenly fought each other, Wang Hong also came with people, saw Jiang Xuan, and said: "Jiang Zongbing, you are embarrassed, it was your people who beat our sentries first, why did the thief shout to catch the thief and beat a rake?" ”

Jiang Xuan glanced at the soldier who spoke just now, and several soldiers immediately retreated a little, Jiang Xuan immediately knew that these soldiers were fooling him, and he was about to talk to Li Rufeng before the sentry outside the city suddenly shouted loudly.

"The Qing soldiers are coming, the Qing soldiers are coming."

The Qing army suddenly attacked, so that Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan put down their hostility and quickly led the troops to set up defenses outside the city.

Li Rufeng has grown up very quickly after this period of fighting, he obviously put the scouts ten kilometers away from Shuo County, and he didn't find the shadow of the Qing army, why is it only so long, and there is a sudden Qing army raid?

He suddenly remembered that the group of young adults he saw in the afternoon, although they looked skinny, but when he thought about it, how could so many young people not be pulled by the Qing army and the green battalion?

It must be those young and strong, either the Qing army is meticulous or the Qing army is disguised, Li Rufeng can't wait to pump himself a second pipe, and Wang Hong said: "It is inconvenient to use cavalry charges in the city, you take people to rush out, report to General Ling, and the others and I resist." ”

Outside the city, more than 1,000 Qing troops stormed Shuo County, Li Rufeng led the troops to fight to the death in the west of the city, and at the other end of the city, Jiang Xuan led more than 100 personal soldiers to fight to the death with the Qing army in the east of the city.

The Qing army attacking Shuo County was the reinforcement of Ningwuwei in Taiyuan Prefecture, and the young and strong in the city were their scout cavalry, and they had already seen that there was a Dashun army to Taiyuan County, so under the leadership of Niu Lu Hayi, three hundred and eight banner soldiers, seven or eight green battalion soldiers, rushed to Shuo County one step in advance, so that a small number of green battalion soldiers who looked thin were disguised in the city, and he led others to lurk outside the city.

When he saw that the Dashun army and another green battalion soldier in the city seemed to be fighting, he immediately led the troops to attack Shuo County, and wiped out the Dashun army with the troops in the city, but Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan did not break out into battle, but shook hands and made peace under his attack.

There are more than 500 cavalry battalions and Jiang Xuan's soldiers and horses, the cavalry can not be used in the city, and can only fight with the Qing army on foot, the Qing army enters the city, the Dashun army can not be stopped, Jiang Xuan's troops are a plate of sand, and they are taken away by a wave in an instant.

Jiang Xuan saw that he couldn't beat him, so he had to bring more than a dozen personal soldiers to Li Rufeng's army and ask Li Rufeng for protection, Li Rufeng said to him: "Why are your people gone?" ”

"How do I know how those straw bales have become so inaccessible?"

Seeing that the Qing army had surrounded Shuoxian, the two had no choice but to fight to the death with their troops and wait for the main force to come to the rescue.

Jiang Jiangxuan saw that Li Rufeng's subordinates were all cavalry, but they fought on foot, and couldn't help but scold Li Rufeng for being stupid, didn't he have a war horse, why didn't he rush out?

"How to rush,? You see that the Qing army is blocked with horse rejection piles at the end of the road, and before they can rush through, they will be beaten into a sieve by the Qing army. ”

The Qing army really placed a large number of horse-rejecting piles in Shuo County a long time ago, and was familiar with the terrain of Shuo County, after surrounding the Dashun army, in a short period of time, hundreds of horse-rejecting stakes were placed before the various roads in the city were put down, forcing the Dashun army to give up being good at cavalry warfare and fight them with the least good at foot combat.

The Dashun army resisted hard in the city, and finally the Qing army attacked twice, the Qing army could not attack for a long time, and began to attack with fire, a large number of burning torches were thrown at the Dashun army, Li Rufeng watched the torches thrown in, many soldiers could not open their eyes under the smoke, and the outermost soldiers were burned or killed long ago.

felt that he couldn't die here, and said to Jiang Xuan: "I'll cover you, you rush out and bring the troops back to avenge Lao Tzu." ”

Li Rucheng said this because he used to be the border army of the Ming Dynasty, and in the battle with Jiang Hao and other Datong soldiers, he woke up the glory that he once had, Jiang Xuan was a little distracted, how did Li Rufeng let him rush out, he and Li Rufeng said: "It's not time to die, resist, my brother Jiang Rang has been behind our army, and he can arrive in two hours at most." ”

Because the fire was too big, the Qing army had to wait for the fire to be smaller before attacking, in this gap, Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan said: "Jiang Zongbing, I used to be a border soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and like you, surrendered to the Dashun army, oh, by the way, it was called the Chuang army at that time." ”

Jiang Xuan shrugged his shoulders and showed him an indifferent expression, Li Rufeng continued to argue with him: "My small soldier surrendered to the Dashun army, from a sentry to the current captain, if he is still in the border army, he will either be transferred by the emperor to Jiannu and beheaded, or he will die under the sword of the army, do you say?" ”

Jiang Xuan looked at Li Rufeng, who was a head taller than him, and scolded: "Li Rufeng, are you confused, what are you doing talking to Lao Tzu, fight back the Qing army for Lao Tzu, and I will invite you to dinner when I turn back." ”

"Okay, if we survive, we'll have a good time."

Li Rufeng's heart still admires Jiang Xuan's brothers, they are all general-level generals, when he was a small soldier, he once looked up to those high-ranking generals more than once, and now he fights with those he once admired, even if it is death, it can be regarded as a disgrace in this life.

The Qing army's fire attack continued to play a role, the Dashun army lost more than half, and his subordinates began to ask to escort Li Rufeng to break through and keep seeds for the cavalry battalion. ”

The subordinates did not agree to him, and forcibly pulled together to retreat, but the Qing army was numerous, the Eight Banners had rushed to the front, and the Dashun army was defeated several times in the breakout, leaving Li Rufeng and other more than 100 people, surrounded by the Qing army in an alley, Li Rufeng and Jiang Xuan laughed miserably, to: "General Jiang, I can't help it, let you die with us." ”

Jiang Xuan also held the big knife in his hand tightly, and said to Li Rufeng: "Don't talk about that, kill it." ”

The Qing army came up with weapons, the two armies killed together, the Dashun army was able to resist at first, and after a battle, the Dashun army gradually fell into disadvantage, but the Qing army's stamina did not keep up.

There was an army behind the Qing army, it was Jiang Rang who brought two thousand reinforcements, he was still five miles away from Shuo County, and met Wang Hong and others who rushed out of the city, Wang Hong didn't care whether Jiang Rang was a Dashun army or not, and he told him that there was a Qing army besieging Shuo County, and asked Jiang Rang to rescue quickly.

Jiang Rang was too lazy to deal with it at first, but immediately thought that his younger brother Jiang Xuan was also in the city, and hurriedly rushed to Shuo County with his troops, and finally arrived at the battlefield.

Jiang Rang led the troops into Shuo County, and when he saw Jiang Xuan mixed with the Dashun Army again, his face was very unhappy, and he came to Li Rufeng and others, and angrily reprimanded Jiang Xuan: "Jiang Xuan, don't you come here?" ”
