"Especially the person who rushed to the front of the Ming army, like a god of war descending to earth, a saber danced coldly, and the surrounding Qing troops were instantly killed as long as they were touched a little.

The captives who were still alive had already lost their fighting spirit under the pressure of this terrifying momentum, and they dismounted and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, and a few who tried to escape in vain were quickly cut down to the ground.

The hatred in Nushan's heart, he has been cautious for half his life, but in the end he still fell for the Han people! He clenched the handle of the knife in his hand hard, his blood-red eyes stared at the Ming army officer who rushed to the front, and ran away with a roar, even if he died, he would have to pull a cushion.

There was a loud bang, and his body, which had just run out of ten steps, was slammed from the side by something, and the huge impact lifted him more than a foot away, and the internal organs continued to gush out from the hole under the ribs.

"General beware!" One of the dragon guard hussars blew away the smoke from the mouth of the gun and put the short gun away.

Zheng Chenggong, who was galloping side by side, nodded gratefully at him, and then turned his horse to the flank.

By the time the sky was slightly bright, the corpses and blood stains on the streets of the south gate of Changting City had been cleaned up, and there were no traces of the fierce battle that had occurred last night except for the bullet marks on the walls of the houses.

In fact, this battle seems to be easy, but in fact it is very thrilling, the ambush in the city has just been arranged for more than an hour, and Chang Yongnian has already attracted thieves.

The day before yesterday, Bai Daqi first went to look for Jiang Zhengxi, and sure enough, as Zheng Chenggong said, dozens of sergeants outside the door guarded him and did not let him in at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Huang Daozhou and tell him that Zheng Chenggong suspected that Chang Yongnian was wrong, and asked him to help inform Jiang Zhengxi.

Huang Daozhou didn't believe it at the beginning, but he was cautious and decided to discuss it with Zheng Chenggong.

As a result, Zheng Chenggong's analysis made him also find that something was wrong with the situation. At that time, Lin Yanchao of the Dragon Guard Army sent someone to report, saying that according to Zheng Chenggong's instructions, people were sent to each city gate to secretly monitor, and last night he really found that someone had sneaked into the city from outside the city. The man walked around the city a few times, and finally entered the courtyard where Chang Yongnian, the inspection department, lived.

Before leaving, King Chen strictly ordered the city to be closed, and no entry or exit was allowed, and there must be problems in Chang Yongnian. Zheng Chenggong immediately suggested that it should be controlled first.

But after thinking about it, Huang Daozhou said that it was not appropriate to move. First, the rash arrest of people may force the Chang Yongnian Yu Party to launch in advance, and there are no precautions in the city. Second, if Chang Yongnian surrenders to the enemy, then the emperor's death must have been known to the captive army, and they should find a way to wipe out all these captives in order to continue to block the news.

For this team of captives, Zheng Chenggong had long wanted to lure the enemy into an ambush with his plan, and he greatly agreed. It's just that I don't know which soldiers are also involved, so the mobilization of troops is overstretched.

Huang Daozhou secretly contacted Jiang Zhengxi again, and he selected 300 reliable soldiers, plus 300 people who were previously stationed in Changting, as the main force of the ambush.

Zheng Chenggong was still worried that the number of ambush soldiers was not enough, so he designed to confuse the enemy's hearts with fake cannons, and then use the dragon guard with the strongest combat effectiveness to go around the city and enter the city from behind the captives, so that it could not take care of the end of the day.

The final result proved to be a great success, and it took only half an hour to defeat the captives, and not a single thief was escaped.

"In last night's battle, a total of 280 thieves were captured, 210 were captured alive, and the battalion of the captive army's vanguard battalion Jialazhang Jingnu Mountain was killed, and two of his men were Niu Lu. Seventy-one of our soldiers were killed and sixty-two wounded. Chang Tingtong sentenced Ma Yuan to look at the list in his hand, and continued, "In addition, more than 460 military horses, 510 hard bows, and 4......00 sabers were obtained."

Huang Daozhou just nodded expressionlessly, although this was a great victory, with many enemies killed and many captures, but he was not happy in any way. If it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's keen mind and sensing that Chang Yongnian was different, I am afraid that the one who counted the exploits and spoils of war at this time would probably be the captive army.

In addition, after last night's tossing, the seriously injured Jiang Zongbing fainted again, and the queen and the crown prince were also a little frightened.

At the same time, at Ma Tongju's house, Empress Zeng listened to Bai Daqi's report on last night's battle in horror.

“…… The thief army resisted stubbornly, and the ambush soldiers were fired, and the bow was strong and the precision shot, and our army suffered a lot of casualties at the beginning......

"The general surnamed Houguo led two hundred dragon guards to fight behind the enemy, and the thief army suffered from the enemy on the back, and there was chaos when the time came......"

Empress Zeng frowned and nodded, "The general surnamed the country has a good plan." If it weren't for him, with the fierceness of the captives, Changting would be difficult to resist. She sighed and said, "But I am confused, and I have listened to the rumors of traitors, and imprisoned loyal ministers...... If it weren't for Huang Ge Lao's timely mediation, I am afraid that it would have been a big mistake at this time. ”

She then instructed Bai Daqi: "Go and invite the general with the surname of the country to come, I should comfort and praise him as a pillar of the country." ”

Father-in-law Bai hurriedly bowed down to receive the order, "The slave obeys the order." ”

When Empress Zeng saw him go out, she suddenly remembered that King Chen had earlier believed that Zheng Sen was a loyal minister and that he was different from his father. If it weren't for him to leave Zheng Sen and 200 elite horsemen to help guard Changting, not only would the city fall at this time, but I am afraid that even she and the prince would have been killed!

She looked at the sleeping baby, and was afraid for a while, if the only bloodline of the Holy One had three long and two short because of her fault, how would she face the Holy One under the Nine Springs......

After Zhu Linmiao led the team to leave Changting City, under the guidance of the little eunuch who escorted Jiang Zhengxi back to Changting, he arrived at the place where Longwu was killed in the afternoon of the same day.

There were only six corpses on the ground, and it was clear from the clothing that there were two eunuchs and three guards, and the only one without a head was probably Longwu.

The feathered arrows on the corpses had been removed, but it could still be seen that several people had been hit by multiple arrows, and they were all ragged, and they should have been searched.

The soldiers gathered several corpses, and suddenly one of them shouted: "He's still angry!" ”

Zhu Linmiao hurriedly jumped off the horse, and when the soldier wiped the blood on the man's face, he was immediately stunned for a moment, and then attached himself and called: "Grandpa Pang! "It is Pang Tianshou, Longwu's personal eunuch.

The soldiers were busy wrapping Pang Tianshou's wounds and pouring water, and after a while, he opened his eyes leisurely, and when he saw King Chen, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and his lips closed slightly.

Zhu Linmian attached his ear to his mouth, only to hear the eunuch tremble and say, "Holy ...... Killed by thieves...... The old slave heard the thief's words and said...... Thieves, thieves want to ......"

Pang Tianshou raised his finger to the northeast with all his strength, took a deep breath and said, "Jianning Mansion is going to ......"

Zhu Linmiao left ten soldiers and the little eunuch and asked them to bring the remains of Pang Tianshou and the Holy Superior back to Changting City.

Then he flew on his horse and said in a loud voice: "All gallop north to chase the captives!" He also instructed the commander of the fourth company of the second battalion, "Turn your part into a reconnaissance team, carefully explore all the roads to the north, and make sure to find the traces of the thieves!" ”

"Yes!" ”
