Chapter 148: Capturing Li Chengdong Alive

"Hundreds of cavalrymen sprinting at full speed slammed into each other like two huge iron fists in mid-air, making a dull loud noise.

Even Zhu Linmiao, who was separated by Zhao Shichao at the back of the queue, could hear the clear sound of bones shattering and sharp blades piercing into the human body.

The cavalry swords of the hundreds of dragon guards set off a flood of blood, and the entire cavalry line was suddenly shrouded in dust stirred with dark red blood, like the fingers of death caressing over the intersection of the two armies.

In the blink of an eye, more than 100 Qing soldiers died under the sword, and for a while, people roared and neighed, and the screams and wails made a mess.

When the Dragon Guards raised their steel swords in unison again, the captives suddenly lost the will to resist - although they had also slashed and killed forty or fifty Ming soldiers just now, their opponents did not show the slightest fear, and there was only the anger that consumed them in those eyes! This makes them subconsciously feel that these enemies are like demons and cannot be defeated at all.

Almost at the same time, the Qing troops who were still alive turned their horses' heads with the fastest movements, and some dismounted and fled, in short, no one dared to continue the battle.

In just one duel, the Dragon Guard completely defeated the enemy with their excellent training and tenacious will.

They have proven that they are not afraid of any opponent, even without the help of advanced weapons!

Li Chengdong was also shocked by the violent collision just now, and his heart trembled.

He saw that his men and horses had begun to rout, and remembered that the glory and wealth that was about to be obtained were so inexplicably gone, and he was extremely unwilling in his heart, and was about to gather the rout to find a gap and escape, when he heard the sound of dense horse hooves behind him, and then remembered that the Ming army had divided men and horses from the beginning to outflank from both wings.

He was suddenly discouraged, and let several henchmen be caught in the middle, dragging him to turn around and run wildly in a panic.

On both sides of the battlefield, two rows of cavalrymen dressed in black "Dragon Guard uniforms" armed with seven-foot spears formed a V-shaped formation to encircle the Qing army.

Before the captives could see what was going on, they were stabbed from their horses head-on.

Zhen Zhen held a five-foot steel spear—the limit of her arm strength—and commanded calmly, leading a platoon of lancers on his side to attack the Qing army.

In front of him, he saw several captives armed with sabers protecting a middle-aged man in the middle and galloping towards him.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and with her keen intuition, this must be a great officer of the captive army.

She immediately beckoned to the servants beside her, and when the men came closer, she rode ahead, and the steel gun in her hand was like an arrow from the string, instantly piercing the throat of the person on the left side of the officer, and then changed to a sweep, and the body of the gun slapped straight at the officer's left shoulder.

Li Chengdong was taken aback, he didn't expect that the seemingly weak little girl in front of him had such ruthless marksmanship, and hurriedly turned over to avoid a "iron plate bridge".

At the same time, several other henchmen at his side had been knocked off their horses by the spears stabbed from either side of the woman.

Li Chengdong sat up and sat up, glanced at the spear that the woman in black had waved to the side, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer, such a big gun was very heavy, and the inertia was extremely great, and it was difficult to withdraw it immediately with a woman's wrist strength, that is to say, there were flaws in front of her at this moment.

He raised his hand and swung his knife and slashed it straight at her left shoulder, secretly glad that if he cut down this woman, he would be able to cut through the gap she left behind, and he might be able to find a glimmer of life.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his saber swung into the air, he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and he immediately couldn't hold the handle of the knife, and the saber fell to the ground in response.

Looking at the woman again, she threw the steel spear out of her hand and pulled out a strange long sword that was extremely thin. He didn't even know how she moved, and the sword stabbed him in the shoulder with lightning speed.

Li Chengdong hurriedly pressed the wound, and when he looked back, there were already several spears pinching him in the center.

Zhu Linmiao saw that the captives had been surrounded, so he breathed a sigh of relief, he was already physically exhausted at this time, and it was very difficult to even sit on horseback.

It didn't take long for the shouting and killing on the battlefield to gradually stop, and nearly two hundred Qing soldiers were kneeling in a row with the sharp swords of the Dragon Guard. In addition, more than 200 enemy troops have been slaughtered by them.

Soon, someone found Longwu's body from the place where Li Chengdong was resting just now, wrapped in a felt roll at will, and all the valuable things on his body were snatched away, looking extremely miserable.

Zhu Linmiao sighed, remembering the scene of offering a gun to Zhu Yujian in the palace when he first arrived in Fujing, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, only a few months later, the first Ming monarch in the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty left gloomily, far from seeing the Ming Zhongxing that he had been thinking about all his life.

Zhu Linmiao instructed the soldiers to carefully put away the remains of Longwu, and secretly swore in his heart that even for the sake of this emperor who knew and trusted him, he would definitely complete the feat of reviving the Ming Dynasty!

At that time, go to the Longwu Spirit Throne and put a stick of incense in front of the Longwu Spirit Throne and tell him, I have fulfilled your wish for you!

After a while, Zhen Zhen ordered several soldiers to escort a middle-aged man with a wound on the shoulder to Zhu Linmiao and kneel down in front of him, and kicked him in the waist, "Say, what's your name?" ”

Before Li Chengdong could reply, a Qing soldier who looked like an officer not far away shouted: "He is Li Chengdong, the Qing Dynasty...... Commander of the Army. Oh, the little one is Luo Chengyao, his lieutenant. The villain is willing to wear the guilt and make meritorious service! ”

"Li Chengdong?" Zhu Linmiao looked at the middle-aged man. A face with a Chinese character looks quite kind, but he knows that it is this seemingly harmless face that hides a devil full of evil!

Another soldier groped for Li Chengdong for a while, and first found a hard object wrapped in brocade cloth under the cotton armor. After Zhu Linmiao opened it, he saw that it was a square jade seal, flipped it to the back, and saw the eight big characters on it: "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity".

It's the jade seal.

Although there are many jade seals of the Ming Dynasty, the national seal used by Longwu is still very important, at least it represents the dignity of the Longwu Dynasty. Zhu Linmiao then ordered Shi Lin to put it away properly.

Soon, the soldier found a small cloth bag in the inner pocket of Li Chengdong's clothes and handed it to Zhu Linmiao.

He opened the cloth bag, and inside was a note, and when he unfolded it, he was shocked.

This is a secret letter written by Fang Guoan to Li Chengdong, which reads: Guoan worships...... He crossed the cave court first, and he was sick for more days and nights, wanting to be martyred and ashamed. However, when Sheji fell, he should think about recovering the country and endure humiliation to surrender under false ...... Sigong is also an expedient measure, when the captives enter Fujian, thousands of miles, it is not easy to back, it is an opportunity to get up and do things...... If you want to get married, anyway, I will be enlightened...... If you accept it, you will not feel the load, and you will show your revenge......

Zhu Linmiao recalled carefully, remembering that there was indeed a case in history where Fang Guoan wanted to unite with the Fujian Ming Army to launch an attack in the hinterland of the Qing army. However, his secret letter was obtained by Bolo, and he was eventually executed by Jianju.

He folded the secret letter and asked Li Chengdong, "What are you going to do with this letter?" ”

Li Chengdong said disdainfully: "Fang Guoan has no talent to command the army, and his subordinates are all weak soldiers who are unbearable to fight, and they will definitely be defeated if they do anything." Since it was handed over to the Qing court for a reward. ””
