Wu Yingqi was sitting in his large tent of the Chinese army at this time, his face was ashen, and his eyes were coldly looking at a woman wearing white clothes and being tied up with a large hemp rope.
Of course, this woman was Kong Sizhen. Kong Sizhen's hair was a little messy, and his eyes were still stained with tears, but his mood was relatively stable. He was kneeling opposite Wu Yingqi, confessing the crimes of himself and Wu Yingxiong in detail.
"Second uncle... The emperor's goal has always been you. He has never thought about conquering the Qing Dynasty! As long as the Qing Dynasty exists, he can barely maintain a three-point world. If the Qing Dynasty disappears, what will he get? To resist Zhu Heji? His Zhou Dynasty looked prosperous on the surface, but in fact it was extremely weak. The feudal officials in Guangxi, Sichuan, and Guizhou all respected their troops and did not listen to orders at all. Even many state capitals in Hunan Not even listening to Xiangjing's orders, the emperor can only command a dozen state capitals in Hunan and Hubei and his hometown of Yunnan. Moreover, there are rumors in the country that the emperor killed the late emperor..."
Wu Yingqi snorted: "Didn't he do it?"
"No!" Kong Sizhen gritted his silver teeth, "He certainly didn't do this... Why did he do this?"
Wu Yingqi said: "He is afraid that the late emperor will pass the throne to me!"
Kong Sizhen smiled coldly: "If the king had killed Kangxi in Zhuxian Town, or at least defeated Kangxi, the late emperor would pass the throne to you. But the king only suffered a miserable victory. How could the late emperor abolish the eldest son and establish a young one?"
"Shut up!" Wu Yingqi shouted angrily, "If it's not my eldest brother, then who did it?"
Kong Sizhen puffed up her chest and said, "I don't know!"
"You are still protecting him!" Wu Yingqi seemed to be very happy with Kong Sizhen, "You are already on the verge of death!"
Kong Sizhen snorted: "Your eldest brother is indeed not a good person, but he is my husband, so of course I have to protect him... But it is true that he was not the one who killed the late emperor. Even if you cut me in pieces with a knife, so will I." This sentence!"
"Do you think this king won't chop you up?" Wu Yingqi's face was ashen.
Kong Sizhen suddenly laughed: "Then you have to arrange for a skilled executioner to serve me."
Wu Yingqi was stunned by Kong Sizhen's expression and words, "Why?"
Kong Sizhen smiled bitterly and said: "The cutting is too slow, it will delay your escape...Although Kangxi said that he will not attack your chariot today, can you really believe what he said? Look at me, because I believe him, now I Waiting to be slashed!"
When Wu Yingqi heard this, he thought it made sense, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. .
At this time, Kong Sizhen suddenly changed the subject and mentioned Wu Yingqi's plan again: "Your Majesty, don't run to Shaanxi either. It's more than two thousand miles to go to Guanzhong, and it will take more than twenty days to travel a hundred miles a day. The emperor must have captured it. The city of Xi'an has been destroyed, and he can no longer fight, but he still has some means.
Your Majesty, the families of your lieutenants and generals are all in Xi'an, and they will inevitably fall into the hands of the Emperor. Then you will die! "
This is also true! Wu Yingqi's brows knitted together. It's more than two thousand miles away, and the road is not easy to walk... You might not be able to get there even if you walk for a month.
Wu Yingxiong is not good at fighting, but he is first-rate at coaxing people! If Wu Yingqi's military family members are all captured by him, Wu Yingqi will be Guan Ye who walked away from Maicheng!
"You might as well hand over the army to Third Uncle and let him take it back to Xi'an, which will give them a way to live. You can lead the elite cavalry to the east... bypass Yanshan to Liaodong, and walk for a thousand and five years. You can reach Liaodong in a hundred miles."
"Going to Liaodong?" Wu Yingqi asked, "Why are you going to Liaodong?"
Kong Sizhen said: "Vote to the Ming Dynasty! Now the Ming Dynasty has landed in Liaodong. Although it is temporarily impossible to pull out a few nails planted by Kangxi and the army is difficult to advance, it cannot stop the king's thousands of fine cavalry.
Moreover, the main forces of the Qing army in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning were concentrated near a few large cities, and their numbers were not large. There are many Mongolian herdsmen in those sparsely populated open areas. You are not afraid of not being able to grab food and horses... But the Ming Dynasty is in dire need of horses and cavalry. You only need to take cavalry and horses to seek refuge. Are you still afraid of losing your glory and wealth? Even if he no longer has military power, the rich man can definitely do it. "
When Wu Yingqi heard this, half of the anger on his face disappeared. He looked at the woman he hated the most and said, "What you said makes sense, but why do you want to help me?"
"Help you?" Kong Sizhen snorted, "I won't help you!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "I was killed by Kangxi! Second uncle, even if you cut me to pieces, I still won't hate you, because I was killed by Kangxi!"
I can see clearly that the only one who can avenge me is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is currently short of cavalry and war horses... Okay, I have finished my words, hurry up and get someone to take action! "
Wu Yingqi sighed, "Sister-in-law, you have said so, can I still kill you with a thousand swords? But this father's hatred..."
When Kong Sizhen heard this, she knew that she was doomed. However, she was also a ruthless person. She said to Wu Yingqi without changing her expression: "Second uncle, I'll solve it myself... Our uncle and sister-in-law don't want to end up in a fight." Just like Wu Song and Pan Jinlian in "Water Margin", I should respect myself!"
Wu Yingqi nodded, stood up and walked to Kong Sizhen, took out a dagger and cut the hemp rope around Kong Sizhen's body, then threw the dagger on the ground and left the camp without looking back. Then two warriors wearing armor and holding blades came in from outside. They watched Kong Sizhen, who had broken free from the rope, pick up the knife and cut his slender neck...
...
"Kill Burney! Kill Burney!"
When Wu Yingqi came out of the camp and returned to the front, the cheers of the Eight Banners soldiers were like waves of the sea, coming in waves from Naobao Mountain not far away.
Wu Yingqi quickly climbed up to the watchtower, raised his telescope and looked in the direction of Naobao Mountain.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, you will be shocked when you see it!
How old is this? The Qing army has gained an overwhelming advantage. The fusiliers lined up in rows and hundreds of people are rushing towards Naobao Mountain!
Almost all the camel formations laid out by Burni have been lost. Every camel formation is surrounded by bloodstains and corpses are strewn on the ground...Looking at the clothes of those corpses, almost all of them are Mongolians!
The Qing fusiliers who were at the forefront had already rushed to the main Mongolian position halfway up Naobao Mountain with arrowheads and lead bullets raining down.
Although they must have paid a certain price...but today's enemy is Burni!
The Eight Banners soldiers fighting against Burni is equivalent to the Chaozhou soldiers and Guangfu soldiers. It is gratifying. There is no need to mobilize, no rewards, no supervision of the battle team... Burni is all that is needed. All the old Eight Banners hate him!
With the old Eight Banners watching, the new Eight Banners below were also full of fighting spirit. Therefore, the fusiliers who rushed halfway up the mountain did not consider retreating no matter how much they suffered. They just lined up to fire and blasted out bullets in waves.
Some grenadiers of the Qing army even held up the ignited sky thunders and screamed as they rushed forward. They were knocked down by Mongolian bullets and arrows. Immediately, someone behind them picked up the sky thunders that fell on the ground and continued to charge. !
As more and more Qing troops began to join in the shooting on Naobao Mountain, the Mongols began to be unable to withstand it.
How could their bows and arrows and matchlocks compete with flintlock muskets? The fire rate of the matchlock gun is slow, the firepower of the bow and arrow is poor, and the lethality is also low. Moreover, the firepower density of both was inferior to that of flintlock guns. For a time, the Mongolian archers and musketeers suffered heavy losses.
Seeing that the battle line was about to collapse, Burni finally sent out his ace iron cavalry and the more than ten thousand Chahar Mongolian elite cavalry hidden behind Naobao Mountain.
A burst of smoke and dust rose from the battlefield on the right side of Naobao Mountain, and the sound of horse hooves was densely connected. In the distance, only the sound of "boom, boom, boom" could be heard. After a while, Wu Yingqi saw ten thousand cavalry rushing in like a tide under the moving smoke.
The ones charging in front were the Iron Cavalry. Each of them was holding a spear and wearing iron armor or leather armor. They roared and screamed when charging, showing high morale.
But their formation was too messy and their charge started too early. Before they could hit the enemy, their horses were already a little tired...
The Qing army's infantry formations on the battlefield all stopped advancing and transformed into hollow square formations on the spot.
At the same time, groups of armored cavalry from the Qing army began to appear on the battlefield at a relatively slow speed...
Wu Yingqi put down the telescope in his hand and just shook his head.
"Your Majesty, shall we attack?"
"Your Majesty, Burni has been launching rockets to ask for help..."
"Your Majesty, the Mongols seem to be unable to withstand this!"
"Father, Kong Sizhen..."
Wu Yingqi's son Wu Shicong and his confidants Ma Bao, Wu Guogui, and Liu Xuanchu all came together at this time.
Wu Yingxiong shook his head and lowered his voice: "Withdraw... Something happened over there in Shaanxi. Third brother, you lead the infantry brigade and leave immediately! Sanbao, military advisor, Shi Cong, let's lead together Cut off the rear with the cavalry."
