They quickly passed the information to Hatai, who got the information and immediately gathered the army, the main force of the Qing army was in Nanyang Province, and there were only more than 10,000 people in Runing Province, and the troops were insufficient.

Hatai let the troops rush to Nanyang Mansion, so that Liu Liangzuo led part of the troops and horses back to aid Runing Mansion, Liu Liangzuo is a Ming man, inferior in front of Manha Tai, received the order of Hatai, he led 15,000 green battalion soldiers, 2,000 eight banner soldiers back to help Runing Mansion.

The art of war pays attention to the speed of the soldiers, Ling Jingyang in Xuzhou City to reorganize the army in these two days, Liu Liangzuo led the troops to arrive at Runing Mansion, and quickly supported Shangcai County, and so on Ling Jingyang set off again, Liu Liangzuo and Hatai have launched an attack on the Ming army in Xiping City.

Hatai led more than 10,000 Qing troops to attack Xiping City, and Liu Liangzuo led 9,000 soldiers and horses to lurk on the north side of Xiping City last night, blocking the retreat road of the Ming army here, and achieving the strategy of annihilating the Ming army.

The speed of the Qing army was not fast, and the movement of Hatai's soldiers and horses was discovered by the soldiers of the Special Bureau, who immediately transmitted the information back to Fang Xiaoyan.

Fang Xiaoyan gave up entering Shangcai County, hurried back to Xiping City, and told He Zhen the news of the Qing army's large-scale attack, and He Zhen got the information and immediately made preparations for retreat.

Most of He Zhen's troops were infantry troops, and the speed was even slower, Fang Xiaoyan suggested that he advance lightly, abandon his baggage and grain and grass, and advance with all his might, so that he could withdraw to Runing Mansion in two days at most and join the large army of the Lingdu Governor.

He Zhen was a little sorry for the heavy baggage in the army, and along the way they picked up a lot of abandoned trophies, especially dozens of artillery pieces that could still be used.

He wants to give these cannons to the old steamed buns, and the old steamed buns are the descendants of Ling Jingyang, and when the time comes, let the old steamed buns say a lot of good words in front of Ling Jingyang, won't he be among the descendants of Ling Jingyang?

For this reason, he insisted on bringing supplies to retreat, Fang Xiao saw that he was obsessed with artillery, so he didn't say anything, said to He Zhen to take care, and led the officers of the Special Bureau to retreat to the large army.

The Qing army is still ten miles away from Xiping City, He Zhen retreated to the north with his troops, and there are still four days of grain and grass in the army, which can fully support the convergence with the large army, but He Zhen did not expect that the Qing army would ambush in advance on the road from Xiping City to Runing Mansion.

Nine thousand Qing troops lay on both sides of the road, waiting for the Ming army to enter the encirclement, Liu Liangzuo stood on a hillside in the distance, and said to his generals: "Don't kill today,

If you can persuade to surrender, try to persuade you to surrender, and the more green battalion soldiers who build the door, the greater the right to speak in the Manchurians. ”

Because there were not many soldiers and horses in the Eight Banners Headquarters of the Qing Army, they needed to rely on the strength of the Green Battalion in the battles between the Guannai and the Ming Army, the Dashun Army, and the Great Western Army.

Liu Liangzuo is a human spirit, he doesn't want to be hidden by the full of birds so soon, the generals understand, take the soldiers to the front line to command the battle, and tell the soldiers of the green battalion to start persuading them to surrender after killing part of the Ming army.

The Ming army entered the encirclement, Liu Liangzuo ordered the whole army to attack, and the 9,000 Qing army suddenly killed and wiped out the Ming army in the outermost part in one fell swoop.

The Ming army was suddenly attacked, the formation was chaotic, and the Qing army harvested their lives one after another, and there was no need for the Qing army to persuade them to surrender, and many Ming soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered.

He Zhen was unwilling to surrender to the Qing army, and led his own soldiers to break through the siege in blood, the Qing army was numerous, but it did not cover the battlefield.

Liu Liangzuo ordered the troops to continue to pursue and kill the Ming army, and at the same time forced the surrendered Ming army to shave their hair on the spot and reorganize into the green battalion to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the green battalion.

More than 4,000 Ming troops were almost completely annihilated by the Qing army, and only more than 200 people broke out of the encirclement with He Zhen, and the rest of the Ming troops either died in battle or surrendered.

This time the battle failed, resulting in He Zhen losing most of the troops, there were hundreds of Qing troops in pursuit, He Zhen was unwilling, several times wanted to go back to duel with the Qing army, but were forcibly dragged back by the generals.

The remnants of the Ming army fled with their lives, all the way back to Yuncheng, and when they arrived here, He Zhen and other remnants of the defeated generals no longer had the strength, and there were Qing cavalry chasing after them.

He Zhen didn't want to be captured, held a big knife, and yelled with his subordinates: "It's a master, follow Lao Tzu." ”

and his subordinates who retreated to Yuncheng were all hardcore anti-Qing soldiers, and they also held weapons and were determined to fight with the Qing army.

More than a hundred cavalry cavalry arrived, and when the distance was still hundreds of meters, a Ming cavalry suddenly came out from both sides.

This Ming cavalry is a unit led by Li Rufeng, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the Qing army, but they have a large number of people, and the Qing cavalry started a melee battle, so that the Qing cavalry advantage can not be brought into full play.

He Zhen finally saw the rescuers, he used his last strength, led his subordinates to rush into the army, and cooperated with the cavalry to eliminate the Qing army.

Li Rufeng looked at He Zhen and more than 200 subordinates, he was very angry, but he couldn't bear to scold He Zhen, and said to He Zhen: "General He, you are resting in Yuncheng, the governor and the army are coming." ”

He Zhen felt very aggrieved, but still said: "General Xie Li, and the grace of all brothers to save their lives. ”

He was very painful in his heart, but he was more unconvinced, he led the troops to Runing Mansion as a vanguard, this is his duty, but why did Ling Jingyang not lead a large army to keep up, resulting in his lone army not responding, and was almost wiped out by the Qing army.

Li Rufeng led the troops to the front line, He Zhen took the troops in the city to wait for the arrival of the large army, Yuncheng was also a ruin, and at noon, Ling Jingyang finally led the large army to arrive in Yuncheng, in Yuncheng he saw He Zhen and his subordinates full of resentment.

Fang Xiaoyan sent him urgent information last night, if the Qing army attacked Xiping City, He Zhen's troops were afraid that they would be defeated by the Qing army.

After getting the news, Ling Jingyang took the three divisions of the military camp directly under him, Li Rufeng's department, and the Iron Fist Army to support He Zhen overnight, but he was still one step late, and He Zhen was ambushed by Liu Liangzuo when he withdrew to Runing Mansion and lost most of his troops.

The forward troops were completely annihilated by the Qing army, which dealt a great blow to the Ming soldiers, Ling Jingyang was very remorseful, he was delayed for two days in Xuzhou City, if he set off according to the previously agreed date, He Zhen may not be completely annihilated by the Qing army.

Before Ling Jingyang had time to apologize to He Zhen, Liu Liangzuo had already led the main force of the Qing army into Runing Mansion, and Li Rufeng's army had more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, who were not opponents of the Qing army, and led the troops to withdraw to Yuncheng.

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

There are more than 4,000 people in the Ming army in Yuncheng, Ling Jingyang wants to lead the troops to fight with the Qing army in Yuncheng, but Wan Liyun, Wei Lan and Shi Tie and other generals have persuaded him not to spend time here with the Qing army, and should retreat in stride, dilute the strength of the Qing army, the general's suggestion is very reasonable, and it is also very suitable for fighting with the Qing army, Ling Jingyang wants to avenge He Zhen's subordinates, but in the end he still agrees with the general's suggestion to withdraw from Yuncheng with the troops, and at the same time let Fang Xiaoyan go to Nanyang Mansion next door to get in touch with the Nanyang Mansion Daxi Army, and the two armies work together to expel the Qing army from Henan.
