Xia Wanchun was not mentally prepared. Although Tanma had reported that the enemy had shown signs of redeploying troops, he just laughed it off disapprovingly.

Xia Wanchun thought that Wu Sangui was unfamiliar with the situation of the Ming army and did not dare to launch an attack rashly, and Ning Yuan's army traveled a long distance and needed to rest urgently.

However, the impossible happened unfortunately, and Xia Wanchun, as the supreme commander and decision-maker of the army, had an unshirkable responsibility.

It was one of the biggest mistakes in his highly decorated military career.

The Ming Dynasty army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, which was already a minimum loss. Fortunately, Xia Wanchun commanded properly and retreated to the hinterland in a hurry and order, and the main force of the Ming army still existed.

After Chen Feng was ordered to break off, he assassinated more than 30 enemy generals, blood-stained robes, and only Chen Feng and two lieutenants survived among the 5,000 soldiers.

The scenes of the battle were tragic and brutal.

Whether it was for the fierce and fierce Hurricane Army or the Ning Yuan Army who could fight well, this tragic battle was unforgettable, and they met each other with unprecedented fierce opponents.

Wu Sangui is known as a famous general with both wisdom and bravery, and he is not in vain. He will not miss the opportunity to give the enemy time to breathe.

He ordered his troops to adopt the method of separate attacks and joint attacks, and several teams simultaneously outflanked the strongholds of the Ming army, intending to annihilate the opponent.

In view of the lack of strength of the Ming army, Xia Wanchun decided to avoid the 1st and 4th Route Army of Ning Yuan and the 7th Route Army of Shang Shan, concentrate the superior strength of the Ming army, and ambush several other weak enemy forces, in order to reverse the comparative situation in the number of soldiers.

The Ming army was unnerving, and it was not flexible and mobile to strike at the enemy.

Ning Yuan's army was unfamiliar with the terrain when he first arrived, and he was extremely unaccustomed to fighting in the rugged lakes and hills and suffered a big loss.

Wu Sangui was keenly aware that the other party was adopting the tactic of luring the enemy into depth, and if Ning Yuan's army continued to penetrate deep into the hinterland, it was very likely to suffer a catastrophe.

He decisively ordered his troops to quickly retreat and assemble and adopt new tactics: attacking the two flanks with the main attack and the front attack. As a result, the situation has changed dramatically, and the coalition forces have turned from passive to active. Instead, the Ming army was compressed into a narrow and remote area, facing the danger of being divided and outflanked.

Wu Sangui adopted the strategy of disintegrating the Ming army from the inside, and sent people to capture the family members of the Ming army general Ma Bao, who was forced to lead nearly 5,000 soldiers to surrender to Wu Sangui.

General Ma Bao had a great position in the Ming army after a hundred battles and was second only to Wu Sangui and Xia Wanchun in fame.

When the news came, the Ming army was shaken. Most of the Ming generals were skeptical about this matter. Xia Wanchun sent a detective horse to determine the truth of the matter.

The officers and men of the Ming army discussed this matter a lot. General Ishimatsu was indignant and scolded the traitor.

Xia Wanchun sat down dejectedly, and it seemed that the whole person would collapse to the ground, if there was no chair back to lean on. This incident was a great blow to him. The spiritual edifice collapsed in an instant, and I felt infinite sadness in my heart. He waved weakly for the generals to leave.

General Ma Bao was loyal and repeatedly born and died for the Ming Dynasty.

He couldn't figure out how General Ma Bao could have rebelled without a single sign.

Many famous ministers and generals of the Ming Dynasty took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty Prime Minister Hong Chengchou, Shanhaiguan General Wu Sangui, and Quan Xiao General Zu Dashou.

Xia Wanchun felt lonely and lonely like never before.

The muscles on his face relaxed, and he could no longer see a trace of confidence and reserve. The eyes are no longer the kind of bright brilliance, revealing depression and melancholy. Xia Wanchun felt so tired physically and mentally.

A warm and powerful hand rests on his shoulder, giving courage and warmth. Xia Wanchun raised his head slowly, his gaze just met Chen Feng's encouraging and trusting gaze.

Xia Wanchun's soul seemed to sail into a peaceful harbor to find peace and support. He just muttered softly, "I really feel tired. ”

Chen Feng showed a look of wanting to say and stopped, and stared at Wan Chun silently.

There was a little pity in my heart, a little sadness. Xia Wanchun is only 16 years old, which is a beautiful cardamom year. It is indeed difficult for Xia Wanchun, and the responsibility he bears is completely beyond the capacity of his age.

Chen Feng patted Chun's shoulder, pretending to be full of confidence, smiled encouragingly, and said slowly: "Anyone can be decadent, but you can't, tens of thousands of soldiers are still watching you. ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and Xia Wanchun's spirit was greatly lifted: Isn't the original intention of abandoning the pen and joining Rong to make a difference?

Xia Wanchun quickly and decisively adjusted the deployment, ordered all troops to assemble in the Hefei area, and ordered General Shi Song to lead 15,000 elite troops to hold Dushan and contain the offensive of Ningyuan's army.

He then sent a letter to Feihong, asking Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Zhengzhou, to send a small sentry force to harass the rear of Ning Yuan's army.

Everything was arranged in order, and Xia Wanchun strictly trained soldiers and horses in Hefei. Commanding operations according to the principle of water, he demanded that the army be as fast as still water when in battle, and rush as turbulent water when charging.

He carefully studied the characteristics of the soldiers on both sides, and believed that the northern army was fierce, strong, and uninhibited, while the southern army was shrewd, flexible, and disciplined. He came to the conclusion that one northern soldier was worth three southern soldiers, and three southern soldiers were assigned to six northern soldiers, creating a star position formation based on collective combat, with every group of four soldiers cooperating with each other to coordinate the battle, and twenty groups combining into one star position. In this way, the front and back respond, interlocking, can be divided and combined, can be attacked and defended. Condescending and looking down, it is just like a dot of stars, each living in an orderly manner.

The Hurricane Army is well-trained and extremely high-quality in peacetime, and after a short period of drills, it has been able to use the star formation freely.

The Ming army was full of ambition and decided to attack hard.

Xia Wanchun used his own way to control his own body to use a discordant strategy against the enemy, imitating Wu Sangui's handwriting to write a letter of deception to destroy the Qing Dynasty, and sent the dead soldiers into the Shangshan military camp to deliberately expose themselves, creating the illusion of suicide in fear of crime.

Shang Shan found the letter from the dead man, and the cunning and suspicious Shang Shan hesitated, secretly restrained Ning Yuan's army, and at the same time sent someone to send the secret letter to Dolgon.

It's no wonder that Shang Shan is so suspicious, and there is a little-known secret hidden in it. The danger was imminent, and Wu Sangui had no choice but to ask the Manchus for help. Wu Sangui and the commander of the Qing army, Dolgon, said that they were first in alliance, not in the Qing Dynasty. The condition was that the Qing army assisted Wu in claiming the throne in Guanzhong, and Wu ceded the land north of Weishui.

After the Qing troops entered the customs, Dolgon rebelled and acted as a battalion step by step, forcing Wu Sangui and Ning Yuanjun to fight for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Wu Sangui had words of suffering, but he never surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The commander of the Qing army, Dolgon, was 34 years old. He saw through Xia Wanchun's counter-plot and personally delivered the fraudulent letter to Wu Sangui to tear it up.

Wu Sangui was grateful and expressed his allegiance to the Manchus.

The time was ripe, and Xia Wanchun agreed with Wu Sangui on a decisive date.

It was a cloudless day, and the wind was beautiful.

The two armies set up positions on the Huaihe Plain, with a sea of people and boundless. Thousands of blades glowed blindingly in the sunlight, majestic, majestic, and slaughtering.

Wu Sangui took the lead in waving the knife and called a majestic formation, with a golden helmet and golden armor, an oolong horse with handsome eyes and bones in his crotch, and the tail exploded indiscriminately, and the Xuantie Yanyue knife in his palm was 150 catties, swinging freely.

Not to be outdone, Xia Wanchun urged the horse to fight, holding the cold and shining thunder knife in his hand, and the heart-wrenching white light was like lightning in the sky above the heads of thousands of troops, but it was terrifying. The bright red robe flew in the wind, just like a red cloud, light and elegant.

By the chance of history, the two famous generals finally met on the battlefield in central Anhui. They used to just look up to each other for a long time, and they didn't meet each other until today.

Xia Wanchun looked at Wu Sangui silently, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a copper-colored face, sharp edges and corners, looking resolute and calm, tiger eyes fierce and arrogant, and sometimes revealing a trace of cunning.

After the polite dialogue, the verbal conflict between the two became more and more acute.

"I was born a Ming person, and I died a Ming ghost. ”

"The one who knows the times is Junjie, the Ming Dynasty's qi is exhausted, Zhu Yousong is mediocre and cowardly, eats, drinks and has fun all day long, and does not want to forge ahead, what is the use of such an emperor to protect him?"

The words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the two immediately fought in one place and were inseparable. Wu Sangui's big knife is like a dragon going out to sea, churning and hovering. Xia Wanchun's thunder knife is like a windmill spinning, and the phantom is fluttering, only the sword light is gone, and no one is seen.

The soldiers on both sides held their breath and watched the transient changes in the battlefield with full attention, secretly cheering for the commander's concern.

The scene is shocking, and the fertile plain is as silent as death, looking depressing and depressed.

In the distance, several small, lonely trees could be seen trembling in the wind, as if they were nervously afraid.

The surrounding hills appear reckless and ancient, revealing a solemn and mysterious meaning, as if an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life, indifferently and sarcastically watching the world's struggle.

After more than 60 rounds, the two did not win or lose, and the more courageous they became.

I don't know if it's a coincidence of history or a providential accident. Strange to say, a dark cloud drifted into the northern sky, swallowing up the entire sun. In an instant, the sky was dark, the wind howled, and then lightning and thunder roared, and the lightning twisted like a snake, and the thunderbolt was thrilling. Then, the wind blew away, and everything went on as usual.

Everyone was terrified and overwhelmed.

Xia Wanchun and Wu Sangui had stopped fighting and looked at each other.

Wu Qing's allied army was in the camp and flew out of the fast horse and went straight to Wu Sangui, and the military academy on the horse looked frightened. Wu Sangui suspiciously took the horse back to the army, and learned that there was a Ming army that went straight to Xuzhou, and Xuzhou was the granary of Ning Yuan's army. (The army sent by Zuo Liangyu to confuse the enemy worked.) ）

Wu Sangui's eyebrows were furrowed, and he was silent. Huo Ran, he seemed to have made up his mind, his face showed firmness, and he said calmly and calmly: "Don't pay attention to the plan to lure the soldiers." ”

Shang Shan was so anxious that he shouted: "Wu Shuai, Xuzhou is the lifeblood of our army, why not save it?"

Wu Sangui patiently stated the interests and disadvantages, it was clear that the tiger was diverted from the mountain, if the troops were divided to rescue, the troops would be dispersed, if the decisive battle could be won, why worry about no food?

What's more, Xuzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, defeat the main force of the Ming army first, and it is not too late to return to Xuzhou.

Shang Shan is also a commander, and he understands the truth of "dividing into ten and integrating ten into one", so he wants to pretend to be confused, and secretly think: It's good that Ning Yuan's army is destroyed, I am hoping that the snipe and the clam will fight each other, and the fisherman will benefit. He insisted on leading the Qing army to save Xuzhou.

Wu Sangui understood Shang Shan's sinister intentions, and was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he was helpless.

Shang Shan is one of the eight great beylers of the orthodox royal family, and he Wu Sangui is just a mourning dog under the fence.

Shang Shan still led 40,000 Qing troops and left.

The situation of the enemy's superiority and inferiority on the battlefield suddenly changed, with the Ning Yuan army about 40,000 and the Hurricane army more than 50,000 people.

The army sent by Zuo Liangyu to feint the attack on Xuzhou and mobilized 40,000 Qing soldiers was crucial to the final victory of the Huai River War.

Wu Sangui had nowhere to vent his anger, and called the Ming army viciously again. He said that the Ningyuan army could not retreat when the big war was imminent, otherwise, the position would waver, and the Ming army would then cover up and kill, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Tatsukaze asks for the order to fight.

Xia Wanchun stared at him quietly for a moment, and said in a serious low voice: "Be careful!"

Chen Feng's heart was hot, and he suddenly felt full of warmth. Usually faced with indifference and ruthlessness, but any little human warmth, the soul is also very easy to move. He bit his lower lip, nodded firmly and gratefully, turned around and walked calmly towards the battlefield, his steps strong and determined.

didn't expect that there would be a member of the general, Wu Sangui couldn't help but tighten the reins of the horse for a moment, and looked at the person indifferently and reservedly.

The man looked chic and leisurely, deep and steady, with a sauce-colored face, a faint boredom and fallenness written on his face, dark eyes, sometimes revealing pitiful sorrow, and an indescribable charm on his body, which was eye-catching.

Name sharing.

The Ruthless Swordsman said lightly: "The Ruthless Swordsman is just a mere one. ”

The ruthless swordsman Xie Chenfeng is famous all over the world, and his shocking swordsmanship is all enviable and fascinating.

The two armies were in turmoil, talking to each other and whispering. The morale of the Ming army was excited, and the soldiers of Ningyuan were in danger.

Wu Sangui's heart muscle contracted, and on the surface, he looked careless, and said coldly and teasingly: "It turned out to be a junior brother, but I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion, the Aurora Sword, the sword is ruthless, a sword is out, a meteor is dead, it is said that no one has been able to avoid your sword so far." ”

The ruthless swordsman's face was expressionless, and his pupils were silent.

"Maybe. Tatsukaze's answer was simple.

Wu Sangui has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is proud of his strong martial arts, and his sword skills cover the Central Plains, and he is not afraid of Chenfeng at all. He is known as the "No. 1 fierce general in the Kanto region", galloping on the battlefield, such as stepping on the ground, he has never encountered a real opponent, and many famous generals are either dead or injured under his knife.

Wu Sangui is indeed superb in martial arts and extremely brave. At the beginning, he used the trick "Golden Dragon to the Moon", and under this move, many generals became unjust souls. He wanted to give the other party a dismount to strengthen the army.

The big knife went straight to the opponent's Tianling cover, this is a bluff to confuse the other party, it seems that when the head is approaching, the blade is slightly deflected to the ear and the shoulder, the elbow is bent and the knife is retreated, and the big knife seems to be back but only at the front end of the circuit, and then the big knife is like a lion suddenly shaking his head and roaring, the knife arc, and the blade is like lightning to the waist of Chenfeng.

When it was too late, Wu Sangui's big knife was like a fleeting lightning arc, and it was like a spiritual nine-tailed spirit fox, which suddenly appeared and disappeared, leaving a phantom like clouds and mist in people's eyes.

The ruthless swordsman has reached the point where the human sword is one, and his mind is in the same vein as the sword, and his sword has life and soul. He waved his sword as if inadvertently and casually, and the person floated to the other party like a light hong. This scene is fascinating: the vast blue sea and the sky, the clouds are floating, light and elegant, and the chic nature.

Try to look at the world, who can have such a demeanor? Only a ruthless swordsman who is free and uninhibited, affectionate and righteous.

Something even more magnificent and magical has happened!

Still in the air, the tip of the sword seemed to tremble, and a bright spot changed into countless bright spots, as many as stars shining brightly.

Like a net from heaven to earth, Wu Sangui didn't know how to resolve it, with years of rich experience, he indiscriminately slashed the big knife and danced impermeable, focusing on protecting his head and chest.

He suddenly felt unbearable pain in his left shoulder, and he knew that something was wrong and dragged the knife away.

The two armies were watching the battlefield intently, and both sides saw the scene clearly.

The generals of Ning Yuan's army rushed forward to rescue Wu Sangui. Wu Sangui's shoulder was full of blood, and the left half of his body was soaked.

Wu Sangui was the only survivor of the Aurora Sword so far, and Xie Chenfeng couldn't bear to take his life when he thought of his friendship with his fellow disciples.

Xia Wanchun immediately waved his thunder sword and charged into battle first. The Hurricane followed the flood that thundered like a flat ground and burst a levee.

Thousands of soldiers on both sides fought together as if a hundred rivers had returned to the sea.

What a thrilling sight it was! magnificent, majestic, majestic. It is like a magnificent sea, with waves and roaring waves. It seems that the vigorous evil dragon is fighting, turning over the river and smashing the sea, and the momentum is violent. Shocking ghosts and gods.

The fierce fighting from morning to dusk finally subsided. The empty and desolate field was dead and cold. Thousands of strange corpses are mutilated, leaving the hands, feet, and intestines of the body...... The wind blew, and the filthy and foul-smelling wind wafted in the air of the entire battlefield, and flags and instruments were everywhere. Every corner and every corner of the sky is filled with ghosts, terrifying and miserable, reminiscent of a gruesome slaughterhouse.

The remnant sun is like blood, red and poignant, like the red circles under the eyes of a beauty crying. The sunset was dyed blood-red, very much like a wild wolf covered in wounds and dripping blood. The twilight is getting thicker, and gray-purple clouds and smoke clouds and clouds envelop the universe. Wan Lai looked heavy, quiet and indifferent. The blush shines through the twilight like a gray-purple veil that softly draped over the wilderness. The slaughterhouse turned into a gentle, dreamy one.

Looking at every picture scroll of history, how can it not be the cruel and magnificent beauty of corpses everywhere? The picture scroll of history is cold to the people and beautiful to the heroes. One will be a success!

Death is everywhere! The wilderness is a cold and desperate death, the whole universe is death, and the ghosts of grief float leisurely around every corner.

There were still people alive, Xia Wanchun and Xie Chenfeng got up from the thousands of corpses one after another, and walked towards each other surprisingly calmly and mechanically. There are no surprises for the rest of their lives, no dangerous panic, they all have a feeling of being separated from each other.

The short distance seemed long and difficult, as if it had spanned centuries. Finally they could hear each other's breaths. Silent intertwined with each other's complex eyes in the air, tears shining, excited, bitter and sad. What a thrilling and tragic battle!

Xia Wanchun's face was covered with blood, his hair was disheveled, his helmet was lost in the battle, his arm was wounded, blood soaked his clothes, and the dried blood turned black and purple and adhered to his skin.

Chenfeng's robe was stained with mottled bloodstains, the sleeves were torn, there were a few openings at the hem, and the strips of cloth were swaying, and the thighs were showing from time to time.

Xia Wanchun's clear pupils revealed deep silence and sadness, and his voice contained a trembling sob, and he muttered to himself: "We won?"

The two looked at each other wordlessly, and saw the loneliness and sadness of each other's hearts through their eyes. ]

How many people dream of victory, but what can they do after victory? When the enemy dies and lives for life, the motive force that used to depend for survival disappears in an instant, and there is no time to taste the taste of victory, and all that follows is loneliness and loneliness, and the future is blank.

They all cast a slightly melancholy gaze into the distance. The scarred sunset had receded wearily, and the remnants of blood stained the clouds of scales gray and purple, like the blood rust of a thin blade. Especially the clouds where light and dark meet, blue and purple, like the eyes of a fireworks woman who is sleepless, how much sadness is revealed under the low voice.

The twilight is getting heavier, and the black and purple distant mountains are solemn and solemn. The mountains are majestic, and the mountains stretch out, making people fly with pleasure.

The hearts of the two teenagers were depressed, and their faces were sad.

Xia Wanchun sighed faintly, and said sadly and affectionately: "Say goodbye today, I don't know when I will see you again?"

Chenfeng's heart was sour, but he pretended to be calm. "If you are fated, you can meet, why bother with children. ”

After some words of concern, the two said goodbye to each other.

The wind is bleak, and the grass is swaying.

Chen Feng resolutely turned around and walked dozens of steps, and couldn't help but look back at Xia Wanchun again, and a feeling of inseparability suddenly surged in his heart. He hugged Wanchun for a long time, and then left decisively. The sad and silent figure gradually faded into the rich twilight.

Xia Wanchun stood alone in the lonely wilderness, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Since then, the rivers and lakes have added a proverb that has been popular for a long time:

The first village of Huating in the world, occupying all the romance, lightning meteor aurora sword, and the young hero Xia Wanchun.
