Not long after, the Qing army's light cavalry crossed the river under the leadership of Han Shangliang and killed at the bottom of the Sijiao Forest, just in time to meet Su Yan who came down the mountain.

"Phew—"

Stopping the war horse, Han Shangliang first vigilantly looked at the surrounding bushes, wanting to make sure that there was no ambush in the bushes, and then looked at Su Yan and his party who also stopped on the opposite side, raised the horsewhip, pointed at the young man at the head, and said:

"Are you Su Yan himself?"

"Exactly down there." Su Yan bowed his head and said, "On the other side, is Han Shangliang, the chief soldier of Quanzhou?" ”

"Why, you've heard of my name too?" Han Shangliang asked.

"Quanzhou general Han Shangliang who doesn't know, the Tartars invaded the south, Jingzhong Gong (Shi Kefa) and Yangzhou coexisted and died, Gao Fengliang Festival is admirable, although you are the general of Jingzhong Gong, but you kowtow to the Tartars and beg to surrender, help the Tartars suppress the Han people, it is really a shame for the Han people, and after entering the underground, you have the face to see Jingzhong Gong?" Su Yan said contemptuously, his words full of disdain.

"You!" Han Shangliang was furious when he heard this, pointed at Su Yan, and scolded: "Ben Jiang Nian is a Fujian person with Er, and he has the heart to give you a way to live, but you use your mantis arm as a car, disobey the heavenly army, and make a lot of nonsense, and do not think of repentance; The Ming family is corrupt, my Qing Emperor has entered the country, it is the destiny of heaven, if you dismount now and surrender, you will be able to spare the whole corpse, and be lenient to the foolish people who are bewitched by you! ”

Su Yan sneered and said: "It's ridiculous that you are dying, and you are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Period, let me tell you, I, Han Min, will never surrender, as long as his Tartar is still wreaking havoc in my Han country for a day, I will not lay down my arms for a day!" ”

After the words fell, Su Yan pulled out a flintlock pistol, pointed at Han Shangliang, and shouted: "Shoot, kill Qinggou!" ”

Bang –

The sound of flintlock pistols was like flare guns, and after the gunshots rang out, a row of line infantry suddenly stood up in the bushes on one side, they raised their rifles, and pulled the trigger on the Qing light cavalry standing in the open space with a cold face!

"Not good!"

The moment Han Shangliang raised the flintlock pistol and pointed it at him, his brain frantically warned him, and the hairs on his whole body also stood up, and he subconsciously tightened the reins fiercely, causing the war horse to stand up in pain, trying to block the oncoming bullets for himself.

However, his approach was futile after all, because Su Yan's flintlock pistol was not so accurate, and the bullet shot was directly deflected to the middle of nowhere, and the purpose of his shot was only to inform the line infantry in ambush that they could shoot.

Although Han Shangliang dodged the projectile shot by Su Yan, his luck was not so good in the face of the salvo of 240 line infantry who had been ambushed in advance, and he was immediately hit by several bullets and fell off his horse screaming.

The main general was shot, and the rest of the Qing army's light cavalry was in chaos in an instant, and they all knew that if they didn't bring Han Shangliang back and fled first, no matter whether Han Shangliang was alive or dead in the end, they would all be executed.

Therefore, they didn't care about the enemies who were in ambush, and hurriedly rushed forward, snatched Han Shangliang's body back, and hurriedly retreated while scolding Su Yan for being despicable and shameless.

Seeing this, Su Yan also knew the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he did not order the pursuit, but asked the line infantry who had been ambushed to quickly retreat to the valley road with him.

That's right, the reason why Han Shangliang didn't find the line infantry in red uniforms before was because Su Yan ordered them to take off their military uniforms in advance and ambush them in the bushes wearing only their underwear - no way, the red military uniforms were too conspicuous in the green bushes, and if they didn't take them off, they would be easily discovered.

Soon, Su Yan and the others evacuated here and returned to the camp in the valley road, and they also spread the good news of the killing of Han Shangliang throughout the army, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted when they heard it, and they put up lights to celebrate the ambush of another traitor.

In addition to celebrating, Su Yan was also thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to launch a counterattack against the Qing army, but he only thought about it for a while and dispelled this idea, although Han Shangliang was killed, which dealt a blow to the morale of the Qing army, but the number and combat effectiveness of the Qing army were still there, and rashly launching an attack would only steal chickens and rice.

Contrary to the joy on Su Yan's side, the Qing army camp on the south bank of the river was full of gloom, and the generals at all levels, deputy generals, staff generals and other generals gathered outside the big tent, looking at it anxiously, and the inside of the big tent was filled with a bloody atmosphere, and the military doctor was still trying to take out the projectile from Han Shangliang's body to heal him.

After a long time, the military doctor finally lifted the curtain and walked out, he saluted the generals outside with a somewhat tired expression, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the chief soldier is seriously injured, there is a lack of medicine in the battalion, and the conditions are not good, I am afraid that it will ......."

He didn't finish speaking, but everyone heard the omitted ones.

Seeing that the generals did not speak, the military doctor said again: "The villain retired first." ”

"Retreat."

The deputy commander-in-chief waved his hand, and said impatiently, the military doctor immediately left quickly, for fear that he would be angered by those generals, and after the military doctor left, the deputy commander-in-chief said: "Since the chief soldier is seriously injured, according to the rules, the affairs of the army will be handed over to me to deal with, do you have any opinions?" ”

"No, no." Everyone said.

"That's good, Ben will first repair a letter and send this matter to Quanzhou Mansion to inform the governor, so that the governor can make a decision and decide whether to continue the attack, and also send a herald to inform Wang Jiazhen, the general of Xianyou, and ask him to suspend the attack as well." Deputy General Soldier Sun Guanghan ordered in an orderly manner, "You should also go back and stabilize the morale of the army, block the news as much as possible, and don't let panic spread among the army." ”

"Yes!"

Everyone clenched their fists and took their lives.

……

The bad news of Han Shangliang's killing was quickly sent to Tong Guoqi with the footsteps of the herald, he read the letter in shock, understood the cause and effect of the matter, and sighed for a long time: "This Su rebellion is really insidious and cunning, if this fang is not killed as soon as possible, it is very likely to become a problem in my Qing Dynasty." ”

"Your Excellency, are you worried? This Su Wei only occupies two counties, and the soldiers are only 4,000, how can it become a problem for my Qing Dynasty? Shen Wei, the prefect of Quanzhou, wondered.

Tong Guoqi glanced at Shen Wei and shook his head, he had no intention of explaining for Shen Wei, he just stood up and said: "Shen Zhifu, this official will personally go to Yongchun to command the army to quell the rebellion, in the days when this official left, Quanzhou Mansion will be in charge of you, don't let that sea reverse (Zheng Chenggong) find a mistake and attack Quanzhou." ”

Seeing that Tong Guoqi was actually preparing to go out in person, Shen Wei also quickly stood up, followed the appearance of the man, patted his sleeves, knelt on his knees, and said to Tong Guoqi, the Manchurian boss: "Please rest assured that the governor will hold Quanzhou and wait for the governor to return victorious." ”
