Dolgon snorted coldly: "Longtan still has more than 20,000 troops from me, and the Yangtze River may not be able to become the support of the Yixing Dynasty. ”

Wu Zheng slowly calmed down, and even smiled: "The regent seems to have forgotten that there are more than 20,000 Qing troops in Longtan, surrounded by my Jinshanwei and Jingwei. As soon as the war began, these more than 20,000 Qing troops would be the first to be annihilated by our army. ”

"If it can be easily annihilated, why do you and I need to talk about it here?" Dorgon scoffed.

Wu Zheng replied: "If the regent can easily cross the river and go south, why do you need to negotiate with this prince here? ”

"This king is merciful in his heart, so as to save the misery of life!"

"The wolf said that he would change to a vegetarian diet, even if the public believed it, I am afraid that the officials behind the regent would not believe it."

The two of them exchanged words, back and forth, and froze.

However, this time, without waiting for the persuasion of the officials on both sides, Dolgon suddenly smiled and said, "Zhenguo Gong might as well make a bet with this king, how about it?" ”

Wu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "How to bet?" ”

"This king wants to see with his own eyes the power of the new musket...... In this way, you and I will each send thirty men to fight, and the one who is wiped out first will lose, how about it? ”

Wu Zheng's heart was shocked, what did Dolgon want to do, but he asked rhetorically, "How about losing?" ”

"Take Taixing as a bet, and the winner gets Taixing."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Taixing is already in the hands of our army, why gamble again?" ”

Dolgon smiled and said: "Then the king will increase the stakes a little more, if you win, Taixing will be yours, and this king will return Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong to you, how about it?" ”

The officials of the Yixing Dynasty over there couldn't judge whether this gamble was beneficial or unfavorable for themselves, and they all looked at Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng's heart was tight again, although he couldn't figure out Dolgon's intentions, but Dolgon obviously grasped his weakness, that is, the lives of Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong.

Wu Zheng hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and responded: "My father has no different intentions!" ”

As a result, an inexplicable duel began to be arranged and deployed.

Wu Zheng ordered Song An to send thirty musketeers to come.

Dorgon gestured behind him, and he picked up a pennant and waved it a few times.

Suddenly, the sound of "rumbling" came, and it became more and more urgent.

Wu Zheng's face changed greatly, and he pointed at Dolgon and said angrily: "You are cheating? This is cavalry, and it will never be thirty horsemen. ”

Dolgon smiled slightly, "It's true that it's cavalry, but it's definitely only thirty cavalry. ”

Wu Zheng took the monocular from Song An's hand and climbed high to look behind Dolgon.

The officials of the Yixing Dynasty also rushed to the sides and looked behind Dolgon.

At this hope, they were all shocked, and shouted in a lost voice: "Iron armor heavy horse?!" ”。

Qian Sule, Wang Yi, and Chen Zilong rushed to Wu Zheng, "Zhen Guogong, this is unfair, the gambling contract cannot be executed!" ”

Wu Zhenghuo looked back at Dolgon and said contemptuously: "The dignified regent of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is that such a fool? ”

Dolgon didn't mind, and flicked his sleeves casually and said, "This king doesn't deceive people, if you don't want to, the gambling contract can be invalidated." ”

Speaking of this, Dolgon turned his head and laughed at the Qing officials, "The Southern Barbarians are timid! ”

The Qing court officials laughed in unison, and Bai Yintu even shouted: "Why do you need peace talks, with only three hundred iron armor under the command of the prince, you can set foot on the Ying Tianfu, these southern barbarians are afraid that they have already knelt on the ground and begged for mercy." ”

In a sneer, Dolgon looked back at Wu Zheng and said, "To fight or not to fight, this king will not be reluctant. ”

Wu Zheng's blood rose for a while, and he took a step forward, just about to speak.

Qian Sule and Chen Zilong grabbed Wu Zheng's arm left and right, "Wu Zheng, this is deliberately done by the other party, and you must not fall for the agitation." ”

At this time, the Qing army's thirty ironclad cavalry had approached the front of the high platform, and the natural sense of oppression of tall people and horses came to the face.

Wu Zheng knew that this would never be won, and the surrounding of the high platform, a flat river, was the terrain where the iron cavalry could give full play to its best combat power.

Even with several times the light cavalry, it could not withstand such a heavy cavalry onslaught.

The point is, there are no cavalry themselves.

"The regent is really good at taking advantage." Wu Zheng criticized in a deep voice, "How can you make a bet if you have different arms?" ”

Dolgon said with pity: "This king has not taken advantage of you, and there are no musketeers under this king's command, how can you say that you are taking advantage?" Wu Zheng, if the two armies are fighting, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to accuse this king of taking advantage, right? It's useless to talk more, if you want to fight, you will fight, if you don't fight, admit defeat, this king is not for himself, he can let you go. But this king promises that you will never see Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong alive again in this life. ”

Wu Zheng gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he said sharply: "Order, gather!" ”

"Whoa." Song An turned around and waved the flag.

Qian Sule hurriedly shouted: "Wu Zheng, don't be rash. ”

Wang Yi shouted: "Zhenguo Gong Mo fell for the trick. ”

Chen Zilong rushed to Wu Zheng, stomped his feet and said, "You...... You...... There are few life and death matters for soldiers, and the survival of the land is ...... a big matter. ”

Wu Zheng looked at these people, but his heart calmed down, and he shouted awe: "More than two million troops of the Ming Dynasty have been defeated, and there is no if there is no country." Wu Zheng dared to ask the princes, if the morale and morale of the army are lost, what is the use of having empty territory? ”

This shocked everyone, including the Qing officials, and even Dolgon couldn't help frowning.

Qian Sule sighed: "Knowing that you are defeated, you have to die in vain, this is ...... What's the pain? ”

Wu Zheng said: "I know that I am defeated, but I want to die." I want to tell the world that the soldiers of our army still have the blood of Han and Tang Dynasty men! ”

Chen Zilong stopped stomping his feet, and he muttered in a daze: "Crazy...... You're a madman. ”

Wang Yi looked at Wu Zheng in a daze, and he suddenly said loudly: "What Zhenguo Gong said, it is magnificent." Today, Wang is willing to live and die with Zhenguo Gong! ”

Qian Sule took a long breath and smiled, he shook his head and said, "I don't value most of the parts myself, why should the old man be reluctant to keep only half of the small ones?" Well, let's fight! ”

The officials of the Yixing Dynasty all stood on both sides of Wu Zheng's back one by one.

Even Chen Zilong sighed, "I don't agree with your approach...... But since you are talking about men's blood, I, Chen Zilong, a seven-foot man, naturally take the lead, count me in! ”

Dolgon's face grew gloomy.

Wu Zheng stepped forward a few steps, looked at the thirty musketeers who were already lined up in front of the high platform, and said solemnly: "See, right?" It was thirty heavy armored cavalry. The enemy said to me, admit defeat, and I'll let you live. I hesitated to live on my knees or die standing up. ”

The soldiers of the musket battalion were silent, and they trusted Wu Zheng more than their own father.

"Fight, you will die!" Wu Zheng's tone was calm and unfazed, "I find it difficult for me to make a choice, your life is your own." So, I give you back that choice. It's up to you to fight, to fight or not to fight. It's not a fight, it's just a gamble. Therefore if you choose not to fight, I will not blame you if you choose not to fight. ”
