Chapter 9: Victory in the First Battle

Drums beat! The horn sounds! "Kill!" As soon as a low voice roared, Xie Shangzheng had already rushed out of the way with his men and horses, and the hundred people under his command saw the new Bai Zong Chong so fast, they naturally couldn't slack off, and they also rushed out of the gang after him.

Xie Shangzheng rushed in front of the soldiers, his eyes were like torches, and he only had one thought to wash away his shame!

The Qing soldiers also rushed over, first of all, more than a dozen Qing soldiers were around him first, and they wanted to attack together and kill this Ming general first.

"Drink!" But hearing Xie Shangzheng shout, the sword in his hand seemed to suddenly become longer! "Porphyry" hit the enemy soldier's chest and pierced a bloody hole.

With a "whew", the spear that stabbed was grabbed by Xie Shangzheng with his left hand, and he grabbed it steadily, "Drop!" With a single sound, he single-handedly dragged the enemy horse off his horse.

"Kill!" His eyes were spewing fire, and all he could see was the enemy! He didn't care about his own safety at all, and among the swords and guns of more than a dozen Qing soldiers, he forcibly rushed out of the city and rushed towards the enemy's brigade! You have to destroy all the enemies!

"Whoosh" with a hundred arrows! did not force Xie Shangzheng, who was fiercely warn, to retreat! "Porphyry!" He was hit by an arrow in his left shoulder, and his upper body swung back, and his eyes saw the arrow. But he gritted his teeth, "Ah! "Pointing his sword in front and clamping the horse's belly with both feet, he did not stop the pace of the charge, but the pace of the charge was even faster!

The Qing cavalry was facing Xie Shangzheng horizontally, they quickly set up their bows and arrows on their horses, and shot at each arrow, not only that, but the Qing cavalry was still moving.

Another "whoosh" arrow flew over his head, and "whoosh" also flew past his right hand.

"Die!" A Qing cavalry quickly set up an arrow, ready to shoot Xie Shangzheng. Xie Shangzheng arrived as soon as he said it, shuttling through the rain of arrows.

"Yikes!" But seeing that he was holding his left hand in front and his right hand holding the sword in his back, the sword slashed forward with great force! At the same time, his body sank.

Qing Cai was so frightened that the arrow that was about to be released also fell to the ground, and he instinctively wanted to use his bow to block forward, but it was too late, the other party's speed was extremely fast! As soon as the sword fell, it split his head in two.

Xie Shangzheng's 100 soldiers saw Xie Shangzheng so heroic, and they broke into the Qing army formation alone, they were greatly encouraged, and they also rushed forward bravely.

Zhang Biwu saw that Xie Shangzheng did not live up to his expectations, he was even more energetic, he couldn't be left behind, he also shouted, deliberately let the whole army hear, and he also rushed to the front.

Lin Xiangfeng and Cai Jiuyi hate Xie Shangzheng the most, and now that Xie Shangzheng has made meritorious contributions in front, they are even more unstable, they are also rushing forward, and they can't wait to immediately give birth to a pair of wings and fly to the Qing army to chop and kill indiscriminately, so as to overshadow Xie Shangzheng's limelight.

Zhu Kezhen: Naturally, they are not far behind. These generals have rushed forward bravely, imagine how the soldiers are not inspired, so they bravely kill the enemy?

Xie Shangzheng's current style of play is really terrible, with a "bang", a shot grazed his feet, and he still killed the Qing soldiers in front of him. There was a large turn of Qing soldiers behind them, and one of the Qing soldiers jumped up when they saw this, wanting to shoot Xie Shangzheng down Ma Lai.

It's too late, it's too soon. An arrow came at the enemy, and the enemy soldier jumped in the middle, and the enemy soldier immediately fell to the ground.

It was Lin Xiangfeng who shot this arrow, and Lin Xiangfeng shouted: "Xie Shangzheng! You don't want to die at the hands of the Tartars! I'm the one who wants to take your head! ”

But Xie Shangzheng didn't listen to him at all, he still shouted: "Die!" Die! "He's fighting.

Zhang Biwu doesn't want to be left behind, he also wants to show his talent as the chief general of the three armies! He rushed first, and when the Qing soldiers saw Zhang Biwu's helmet, they were stunned. Because the image on Zhang Biwu's helmet is half as kind as a god, and half as terrible as a demon.

Zhang Biwu rushed over, as soon as he met, Qingqi was startled, his whole body trembled violently, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, especially Zhang Biwu's eyes, which made him feel even more distracted, and he was so frightened that he fell off the horse.

Zhang Biwu rushed forward and shouted: "Those who stand in my way will be killed!" The spear in his hand kept stabbing forward, and the three enemy horsemen in front of him opened their eyes wide, and before they could see how the spear came from, they all fell off their horses.

And the Qing soldiers surrounded by Zhang Biwu's horse were also uncomfortable. Zhang Biwu's spear squeezed from side to side, and blood splattered under the sweep on both sides. The man fell down like a cut grass. Like, no one can stop it!

Zhang Biwu came to Xie Shangzheng and said, "Xie Shangzheng, you are so fierce!" I like this kind of play that is not afraid of death! ”

Xie Shangzheng praised: "Your marksmanship is so handsome!" If I hadn't looked away, this marksmanship should have been taught to you by Han Runchang! ”

Zhang Biwu bowed his head: "No ......" and "wrong" words did not come out, and before the words were finished, an enemy soldier below came up with a gun, and Zhang Biwu had to turn on one side and let go of the gun from the bottom up. And an arrow also shot at Zhang Biwu.

"Snap", the arrow was cut in two, this time it was done by Xie Shangzheng. The guns cleared the troops and retreated quickly, but no matter how much he retreated, he could not avoid his death.

"Whew" the spear that came back, and stabbed him to death with one shot. Zhang Biwu spoke at the same time: "Han Runchang is my master!" Xie Shangzheng smiled, he suddenly went crazy, and shouted: "Your grandfather Xie is here!" It seems that he doesn't want to be compared to his juniors.

Zhang Biwu also smiled, and he also showed his skills. When the soldiers saw that the main general was brave, they were also more energetic, and they originally thought that they would rely on Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu's men and horses to come, but now they don't need it at all.

The Qing army couldn't resist it, so they had to quickly break through the encirclement, but when the Qing army broke through, it also passed through the impact of Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu who came, and most of the dead and wounded, and only half of the people could escape alive.

The defeated soldiers went back and reported to their commander Dorgon. When Dorgon heard this, he waved his hand and motioned for them to go down.

Dolgon said, "Attention! From now on, we can't see our people near Beijing again! Not even a ranger! The whole army is heading north! ”

Duoduo asked incomprehensibly, "Brother, what are you doing here?" Why did you just have an innocuous small defeat, and you immediately withdrew from Beijing? I'm not convinced! When did you become so cowardly? Didn't you say you were going to kill Zhang Biwu? He's in front, why do you want to retreat? ”

Dorgon laughed and said, "Of course I'm going to kill him!" But to kill him effortlessly! What a priest! You'll just have to wait and see! This is also what our emperor meant! Duoduo frowned: "Huang Taiji? ”

After Dolgon nodded, he pointed north: "Target Gaoyang City!" Duoduo frowned: "Gaoyang City? ”

Dorgon nodded and said, "Yes! If we persuade Sun Chengzong to surrender, it will be a great thing! Even if Sun Chengzong can't be persuaded to surrender, as long as he can be killed, it can greatly damage the morale of the Ming army, and second, it can make Lu Xiangsheng crazy! It made Lu Xiangsheng's heart even more determined to fight to the death with us! The emperor's plan to dig the tiger is done! ”

Duoduo gritted his teeth when he heard Sun Chengzong, because Sun Chengzong had twice been in charge of Liaodong, and like Yuan Chonghuan, he had built the Ningjin defense line, which made the Liaoxi Corridor safe for 20 years.

Duoduo looked in the direction of Gaoyang and said, "I heard that after Sun Chengzong returned to his hometown, he buried himself in books and learned from Lu Shanji and Sun Qifeng. And Gaoyang City also mobilized his son in Dangzhi County, Shandong Province to donate money to buy bricks because of the attack of our army, thus turning Gaoyang into a brick city. Even so, it can't stop our army from breaking through Gaoyang! ”

In the past 20 years, the Qing army was helpless against the Ningjin defense line, so they hated and respected Sun Chengzong. Now he was going to attack Gaoyang County, Sun Chengzong's hometown, and Sun Chengzong was there again, and Duoduo was excited.

The Qing army retreated quickly, and they were no longer near Beijing, which meant that the pressure on Beijing was greatly reduced.

Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief after learning about it, he didn't know whether it was a war or a peace, although he heard that Lu Xiangsheng won a small battle and killed two hundred Qing troops.

The two hundred Qing troops were just a small victory and did not have much effect, and the retreat of the Qing army, sending envoys to say that they wanted to negotiate peace, if they did not negotiate peace, the Qing army would be burned.

Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian kept talking about the benefits of negotiation in front of him, of course, they didn't dare to talk about peace, and talking about peace can take care of Chongzhen's face. He also said that since ancient times, he must first settle down in the outside, and if he is uneasy inside, he will be outside, and he has never heard of it.

This hit Chongzhen's heart. Chongzhen has always wanted to be a saint and has always dreamed of Zhongxing. He is diligent and conscientious, but it is a pity that he is too face-saving and suspicious. In addition, he trusts the people he loves too much, and the people he loves say that the wind is the wind, and the rain is the rain.

Chongzhen listened to the words of Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian, and Lu Xiangsheng's catastrophe came.

Gao Qiqian used a trick to split Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses, Lu Xiangsheng's 30,000 elite 20,000 horses were taken away by Gao Qiqian and handed over to Chen Xinjia to command, Lu Xiangsheng only had 10,000 horses left, and Wang Pu was greedy for life and afraid of death, he was despised by the Qing army, once there was a big war, Wang Pu would give Lu Xiangsheng a fatal blow. However, Wang Pu's 5,000 Datong Town officials and troops are now half of Lu Xiangsheng's people. Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng can directly lead only 5,000 old, weak and disabled people.

Originally, there were few soldiers, and if they were demolished, wouldn't this force Lu Xiangsheng to death?

What's worse is that Yang Sichang, who was responsible for raising grain and grass, did not provide enough food and grass supply to Lu Xiangsheng's army, so that Lu Xiangsheng's army was often out of cooking. Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, directly refused to pay military salaries.

Lu Xiangsheng was even more eager to search for the main force of the Qing army, even if he had few soldiers, he also wanted Tai Sui to break ground. The Qing army knew Lu Xiangsheng's predicament, and they said that they would not go head-to-head with Lu Xiangsheng, and when Lu Xiangsheng's men and horses were tired, they would annihilate Lu Xiangsheng in one fell swoop.
