After tossing until the fifth drum, Li Chixin finally understood why the overlord of Chu, who was trying to pull out the mountains and conquer the world, would be annihilated in the vast sea of the people's war, and it was a joke to turn things around by himself, no matter how strong the strength of the individual is, how the weapon in your hand is ahead of the entire era, it is already a blessing to be able to save your life because of this.

Not long after leaving Jiazhuang in discouragement, the Qing army Zhenglan Banner came from the west before dawn with more than 10,000 cavalry, together with the number of people who came last night There were already 30,000 people, and surrounded Lu Xiangsheng's camp inside and outside. At the same time, Zilharang personally led a thousand Baturu cavalry, who were not afraid of death, and pursued closely in the direction of Li Chixin's escape, which made Chairman Li completely out of luck.

If people are generous to death, why should you fear death? According to the historical records of the 17th century, there was a great drought in the south of the Gyeonggi River for many years, but there are few records of the river drying up, as for the land cracked due to lack of water, because the irrigation methods of farmland at that time were relatively backward, and when the water level of the river was too low, people could only meet the needs of their own families on their shoulders, and it was difficult to meet the drinking water of large livestock.

At this time, although there was no wind in the Gaoshui River, the rubber boat purchased on the Jingxi Express was still going downstream, and the three war horses should be the slender men in the Gaoshui River, plus the three of them rowed hard, and the boat rowed farther and farther in the loud curses of the soldiers of the Blue Flag.

After a while, it was getting brighter, but it was still drowsy, and the sun was bleak and a cold wind was blowing in the face. Suddenly, there was a loud sound of nonsense and cannons between heaven and earth, and the sound of the Jurchen version of the rude and coarse Jurchen version of the slaughter, the blue sea began to be surrounded in Jiazhuang from all directions, and the dying Ming army launched a fierce attack.

According to the deployment of Lu Tuo's division, the 2,000 men and horses of Hu Dawei, the chief officer of the Shaanxi army, were guarded to the west of Jiazhuang; the 3,000 soldiers of Yang Guozhu, the general soldier of Xuanfu, guarded the east; and the south and north sides of Jiazhuang were defended by the standard battalion of Lu Xiangsheng, two deputy generals. According to the topography, the Ming army set up cannons in key places on all sides of Jiazhuang.

Lu Xiangsheng carried a big knife and commanded back and forth in the places where the artillery was erected on the front line, and the artillery was not fired indiscriminately. The prestige of the superintendent and Lu Xiangsheng's command were determined, and whoever he called would set off artillery. Once, while he was directing the firing of the cannons, one of the gunners in charge of firing the guns was killed by a mid-range arrow, and the arquebus in his hand ignited the stacked gunpowder, which not only blew up the cannons, but also tore the other two guns to the ground.

Seeing an opportunity, the enemy in this direction rushed to the front like a tidal wave. Seeing this, he immediately jumped off his horse, and carried two guns weighing more than 500 pounds one by one to the gun carriage, grabbed the arquebuses in the hands of the dead corpses, and fired two cannons in a row, killing a group of enemies in an instant.

When the other gunners arrived, he took the arquebus from his hand, cleaned the chamber, and loaded the gunpowder cannons, and only then did he remount his horse and rush to another most critical place to supervise the battle.

From the end of the battle to the end, the Qing army had left more than 1,000 corpses in front of the position, and it still attacked and did not retreat. Lu Xiangsheng's camp had run out of gunpowder and lead bullets, and his guns and arrows had been exhausted, his face was blackened by gunsmoke, his face was difficult to distinguish, and his cotton armor like that of a soldier was burned in several places, and the stray arrows pierced several holes.

The enemy in the southwest corner heard the sound of cannons in the Xiangsheng camp, and the leading blue flag leader, Du Si and others personally carried the blue flag and rushed into Lu Xiangsheng's camp.

Lu Xiangsheng roared like a tiger to kill thieves, rushing left and right in the tide of Qing soldiers, as if entering a no-man's land. Suddenly, he saw that the Shaanxi general soldier Hu Dawei was caught in the heavy encirclement of the Qing army, and he could no longer support it, so he rushed forward on horseback, knocked down a leader with a blue flag, and shouted loudly: "General Hu! Today is the day when my generation is loyal to the country, don't be afraid of death! Everyone will kill with me!"

He saw that Lu Xiangsheng's whole person was like a blood gourd, and he could hardly see his face, so he stepped forward and held the reins of Xiangsheng's horse to persuade him to break through.

Lu Xiangsheng was determined to die and was willing to break through, he waved his knife at Hu Dawei, and said loudly: "Let go!"

At this time, a large group of Qing troops pounced under the leadership of a member Baya Lazhangjing, and immediately scattered them, and the tide of the blue flag generals wrapped the two of them in the east and west, and they never had a chance to converge after that.

After half a day of offensive and defensive battles, and after the Qing soldiers broke the formation, it was a fierce battle for most of the hour, Lu Xiangsheng's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many soldiers left who could fight, and the non-combatants who stayed in Jiazhuang were even more killed and wounded, and most of Zhuangzi had been lost.

Not far from the periphery of Jiazhuang, there is a river that meanders through and is called Gaoshui, and there is a Gaoshui bridge on it. At this time, the battlefield has gradually moved from Jiazhuang to Gaoshui Bridge, in fact, the overall situation of the Qing army has been decided, and the rest is only some sporadic battles. The stubborn Ming soldiers were a bunch in the east and a regiment in the west, and the soldiers and horses of King Qin, who refused to surrender, were divided and surrounded by the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, desperately resisting and insisting on the final battle to the death.

In fact, this stubborn resistance of theirs is neither for victory nor for breaking through, but is governed by a very simple desire to kill one or more enemies when they fall before they are dying, and never surrender to the alien invaders who brought them the disaster of returning home and destroying the country.

Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu were both wounded in the battle, and they broke out of the battlefield at some point. Lu Xiangsheng's old family Gu Xian, who had been following the master's saddle before the horse, had already suffered more than a dozen injuries on his body, and at this time he couldn't support the horse and lost consciousness.

The horse's hooves trampled over the earth, like a war drum shaking the eardrums of old Gu Xian, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head as if he had been awakened, and tried to open his blood-red eyes to look around, but he no longer had the five Mingji that his master was familiar with. At this moment, Krug urged the cavalry of the Blue Banner to gallop in front of him.

Gu Xiannu vigorously raised the short sword from the ground, and threw it at the enemy with the last trace of strength, the sharp blade happened to stab the head of the galloping war horse, and the horse Kuluge screamed and fell from the horse, and then the galloping war horse stepped on the bodies of Gu Xian and Kuluge at the same time......

"Lao Tzu earned another one!" Gu Xian fell into darkness forever after this thought flashed in his heart.
