For several days, the Qing army did not attack, but only sent a small group of men and horses to patrol the surroundings every day, and the Ming army was deadlocked.

"My lord, the camps did not collect at night and reported one after another, the thieves began to loot everywhere, and the surrounding areas of Jinan Mansion were suffered, and many villages were slaughtered by the thieves!"

Miao Shao said with anger on his face, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Xu Ming, Chen Xun, Wang Bo, Wang Yue, Zhang Yi, Shen Tuo, and Xun Jingyun were all angry, and Shen Tuo and Chen Xun were even more direct, proposing to lead their troops to attack the Qing army camp and force the plundering Qing army to withdraw.

Liu Yan frowned, and asked Xun Jingyun, "What do Lu Duchen and Yan Futai say?" ”

Xun Jingyun had to go into the city almost every day to keep in touch with Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Jizu.

"Lu Duchen and Yan Futai also got the news that they didn't collect at night and knew the movements of the Qing army. However, the two of them did not seem to have a good way, and Lu Duchen believed that the purpose of the slave thief's move was to force our army to take the initiative to abandon the city and defense line, and lure our army to the field, so as to give full play to the advantages of the slave thief cavalry. ”

Liu Yan also thought so, when he got to the field, even if he could repel the Qing army again, his own losses would be very large. Moreover, the Qing army is strong, and the soldiers of the new army in Liu Yan's hands are all baby bumps and cannot withstand consumption.

So Liu Yan thought for a moment, and then said to Xu Ming: "Tonight, you will bring the elite of the cavalry battalion and bring me back the prisoners!" ”

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yan sneered and said: "The slave thief killed my people and kidnapped my population, and this official arrested the slave thief's soldiers, and then cut them all one by one in front of them!" ”

Xun Jingyun frowned slightly, and said, "My lord's move is intended to undermine the morale of the slaves, but it seems to hurt the peace of the heavens." ”

"Tenwa?"

Liu Yan said categorically: "Killing the Tartars is to maintain the way of heaven, how can it hurt the peace of heaven!" ”

That night, Xu Ming selected a total of 150 people from the cavalry battalion, including Ye Buhui, personal guards and capable soldiers, and everyone took advantage of the night to set off from the new army camp and soon disappeared into the night.

Ever since Dorgon ordered the banners to plunder the territory, small groups of men and horses of the Qing army have been roaming outside the camp, either escorting the captive people, transporting various booty, or going out to search for targets that can be plundered.

Xu Ming led his troops to soon find a small group of Manchurian Zhenghongqi soldiers and horses, after the first few night inquiring, this Qing army of more than 30 people, all gathered in a forest more than 30 miles west of the city of Jinan. This group of Tartars not only captured hundreds of people, but also a lot of gold, silver, and grain. m.

At this time, it was already dawn, Xu Ming and one hundred and fifty soldiers quietly blocked the east and north of this forest, and then everyone dismounted, leaving ten soldiers to guard the horses, and the remaining one hundred and forty soldiers followed behind Xu Ming and slowly entered the woods.

Soon, Xu Ming heard a burst of screams, and also heard many people crying and begging for mercy, men, women, and children.

In addition, there are many Tatar soldiers who speak ugly Manchu language are roaring loudly, Xu Ming is prostrate in the grass, and sees a few bonfires in front of him, under the light of the fire, more than 30 Zhenghongqi Tatar soldiers are distributed throughout the camp, and more than 10 are deployed on the periphery, which can be regarded as a guard post, but most of these Tatar soldiers have fallen asleep.

Most of the remaining Tartars were asleep, and only a few energetic Tartars were still having fun, searching for young women among the captured civilians, causing the crowd to let out a burst of exclamations.

Xu Ming frowned, and whispered to the two flag commanders beside him: "After a while, you will each bring thirty people, outflank them from both wings, deal with the enemies on the periphery first, and then escort the people to retreat outside the woods." ”

"The rest of the brothers are ...... with me"

Xu Ming pointed to the center of the camp, where there was a burly Paishku who was sleeping soundly: "Be sure to annihilate the rest of the slaves and thieves, and kill that Pashku!" ”

The plan was decided, and one hundred and fifty soldiers began to move.

In the camp, each of the four Tartars grabbed a young woman, and one of the beautiful women was already disheveled, and the whole person was already in a trance, and was dragged by an arm by a Tartar soldier on the ground.

The surrounding people looked at the four women in despair, but they didn't dare to stop them, and the people who had stopped the Tartar soldiers before were not far away, and they were already in a different place.

At that moment, several crossbow arrows passed through the woods, and the four Tartar soldiers who were about to give vent to their beastly desires were hit one after another, and fell to the ground in disbelief.

The three conscious women were stunned for a moment, then screamed, and hurriedly dragged the trance woman back to run, and the rest of the captured people saw this, and their hearts were full of hope: Is this the official army coming?

"Kill the Tartars!"

Xu Ming roared and led ninety cavalry battalion soldiers to rush forward, and the other two flag commanders also led thirty people each to outflank from both flanks.

Sixty men on both wings, armed with crossbows or holding bird guns, opened fire one after another, and shot a dozen Tartars on the periphery with only one shot. And Xu Ming had already led his troops into the camp and started a melee with the twenty Tartar soldiers who reacted.

"Kill!"

Xu Ming's waist knife in his hand was powerful, and he slashed a vest to death, and then faced the Pashku. The two of them fought against each other more than ten times in a row, and finally the waist knife in Xu Ming's hand was broken, and the battle axe in the hand of Paishku was also curled, but it was still slashed at Xu Ming.

At this moment, the two cavalry battalion soldiers next to him stabbed with spears, Pashiku was shocked, hurriedly changed his moves, blocked a shot with a horizontal tomahawk, and another spear pierced directly into Pashku's lower abdomen, and blood flowed immediately.

Xu Ming took the opportunity to step forward, knocked Pashku down with an elbow blow, and then ordered someone to tie him up.

By this time the fierce battle had ended, and twenty or so Tartar soldiers were annihilated on the spot by the elite of ninety cavalry battalions, eleven were beheaded, nine were captured, and exactly ten were taken prisoner by Napashiku. The soldiers of the cavalry battalion who raided did not suffer any casualties, and the battle was completely won.

Xu Ming hurriedly ordered a clean-up, took all the captured with him, and then went over to visit the captured people.

When everyone saw that the officers and soldiers were killed like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they killed more than 30 Tartar soldiers, and they immediately cried with joy, and knelt down to kowtow to Xu Ming.

Xu Ming said kind words to everyone, and was about to take everyone back to Jinan Mansion City, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a dull-eyed woman standing up, and then suddenly laughed, and slammed into an old tree next to him, and suddenly blood splattered, and Bai Huahua's brain flowed to the ground!

Those people have covered their faces and wept, this war, these people have relatives who have been poisoned by the Qing army, at this time to see the woman commit suicide, immediately sad from it.

Xu Ming clenched his hands and almost went crazy with hatred, and then strode up to the captive and smashed it with his scabbard, instantly breaking the head of a captive and bleeding.

"Tie them all up for me and bring them home!"

When the first rays of morning light spilled onto the earth, Xu Ming returned to the camp of the Lingshan Wei New Army with one hundred and fifty soldiers, along with a group of civilians and prisoners.

Later, Liu Yan inquired about the experience, and was also embarrassed to learn about the woman who committed suicide.

"The subordinates buried the woman and a dozen of the murdered people, in that wood."

Liu Yan sighed, then stared ahead with his eyes, and said: "The cavalry battalion, the front battalion, and the rear battalion will immediately assemble and line up in the south of the main battalion, and this officer will take prisoners alive in front of the formation!" ”

"Order!"

Soon, with the sound of trumpets and war drums from the camp of the new army of Lingshanwei, a large number of soldiers of the new army left the camp and began to line up outside the camp, which immediately alarmed the Qing army several miles away.

Dolgon immediately summoned all the banner masters, led tens of thousands of Qing troops to line up, and stopped three miles away from Liu Yan's headquarters.

The formations of the two armies were very tight, and in the middle of summer, even in the morning, it was very hot, but the soldiers of the new army and the Qing army were motionless, quietly waiting for the orders of their respective superiors.

In front of the horse formation, Liu Yance looked at a few big poles in the distance, and knew that several slave chiefs such as Dolgon, Duoduo, Yue Tuo, and Du Du were in the distance, so he ordered the captured Paishku and other ten people to be escorted to the front of the formation.

Moments later, ten captives were brought up, all stripped of their clothes and nailed to a wooden frame in the shape of a cross, with a four-wheeled cart underneath.

These ten naked captives lined up in front of the two armies, and thousands of soldiers of the three battalions of the Lingshan Wei New Army suddenly thundered with joy, and all the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, and the sound alarmed the officers and men of the Supervisory Battalion and the Fubiao Battalion in the city of Jinan.

Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Jizu hurriedly went to the city to watch when they heard the news, and when they saw this scene, their faces suddenly became a little ugly, what did Liu Yan want to do? Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Jizu have already seen it, just doing this, how will the Qing army react?

At this time, Dolgon, Duoduo, Yuetuo, and Dudu were extremely angry, while Ibai, Buyandai, and Engetu were terrified, and Liu Yan's ruthlessness made these Mongol Tartars already afraid.

Of course, what is more afraid is Shang Kexi, a firearm shooting has made this traitor lose the courage to face off against the Lingshanwei New Army on the battlefield.

"Prince Rui, that's my warrior who is the red flag!"

Yue Tuo shouted loudly, and saw that next to the ten captives, there were several soldiers of the new army waving the captured Qing army flag, which was a red battle flag with white edges, and it was the banner of the Manchurian Zheng Red Flag.

And when Duoduo saw that ten soldiers of the new army armed with steel swords were already in place, he immediately shouted: "Ordered general!" Let me lead the army to storm for a while and save those warriors, or the morale of our army will be over!" ”

Yue Tuo and Du Du also asked for battle, but Dolgon pointed to the new military formation that was waiting in the distance and said, "Which of you can break through Liu Yan's military formation?" ”

Everyone looked, only to see that Chen Xun and Wang Yue had already spread out the front camp and the rear camp, thousands of birds and gunners formed a large horizontal formation, pikemen, sword and shield hands were all in place, and the general artillery of the accompanying army Huzun cannon was also waved in front of the formation, waiting for the Qing army to rush over.

The cavalry battalion led by Xu Ming was on standby in the rear, and the banner was also shaking in the large battalion, and the rest of the new military battalions could form a formation at any time to take over the battle.

Seeing this, Du Du and Duoduo were silent, only Yue Tuo roared loudly in vain at the Lingshan Wei New Army in the distance, and he had already lost his former calmness.

Then, under the gaze of tens of thousands of Qing troops, Napashiku and his nine companions were cut alive by a thousand knives in front of the two armies, and finally only ten bloody skeletons remained, still hanging on the wooden frame.

This kind of cruel and bloody scene, so that the Qing army these robbers who do bad things on weekdays also shudder, the morale of the army fell to the bottom in an instant, Dolgon sighed, ordered the whole army to return to the camp, Yue Tuo unwillingly looked back, only to see the Lingshan Wei new army outside the city, the city of the supervision battalion, Fubiao battalion soldiers are cheering.

Yue Tuo suddenly realized something: "With Liu Yan's existence, those Ming troops who were originally weak and bullying seem to have become more bloody, which makes people feel a little afraid!" ”

At the head of the city, Lu Xiangsheng was also shocked by this scene, and Yan Jizu next to him retched directly.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the Lingshan Wei New Army who had withdrawn to the camp one after another, and sighed in his heart: "Liu Yan, Liu Yan, Daming has you, is it a blessing or a curse?" ”

Some people died, but not completely......
