Under the vast moonlight, General Li Laiheng led the victorious soldiers to slowly retreat towards Xingshan. The master who was tied up by Wu Hua Da walked in the middle of the cavalry, and the soldiers escorting him from time to time cast disdainful glances at him. Today's master Yi has long lost the sparkle in his eyes, his face is ashen, and his legs are trembling. He knew that he was not far from death.
Suddenly, a young sentry commander (the lowest-ranking officer in the rebel army, with a dozen to dozens of soldiers under his command) urged his horse forward, gave him a whip, and urged, "Quickly!" When the soldiers nearby saw this scene, they were heartbroken. Be happy "You deserve it, you deserve it!"
…
The rebels were slowly returning to camp after their victory, but Azige's two Zhenbiao battalion pro-army troops were busy collecting and dispersing troops to appease the good people. Among the fleeing troops, there was a small colonel dressed in Qing uniforms. He led about twenty soldiers and looked towards Xingshan while he and the rest of the troops rushed towards Dangyang.
Suddenly, he waved his hand and rushed towards the dark shadow beside him. In the blink of an eye, this small group of people merged into the night.
…
It's almost five o'clock, Changping camp. The soldiers and generals who had just returned from withdrawing their troops were still immersed in the joy of victory. This battle has indeed yielded a lot of rewards. Horses, tents, weapons, etc. are piled up in many corners of the stronghold. But then a voice came, "Damn it, Wang Guangsheng, you old beast, I'm eighteen generations after you!"
Hearing this voice, the soldiers outside the door quickly winked and told everyone to disperse.
"Come here," Li Shouyu shouted toward the door.
"Here," a relative will come in immediately.
"Hurry up and send someone to report to the General. If the general knows it, tell the old bastard Wang Guangsheng that he has surrendered to the Qing army. Then send someone to inform Baiyangzhai, don't let his family run away too." Shouyu ordered.
"General, that old fox moved all his family out when he came out. Didn't you know?"
"Really?" Shouyu asked with eyes wide open. "No one told me that this old dog had planned it for a long time. Alas!" A slap hit the wall of the village, making a "rumbling" sound.
After a moment, Shouyu said:
"Go and ask the general, should we still be stationed here? Should we go to Baicheng or Xingshan to get accurate information?"
After all, this place is too close to the enemy, and Wang Guangsheng surrendered to the enemy again. It is very unsafe here! He thought to himself.
"Yes, I will obey the order!" the general agreed.
"Be careful when riding on the road!" Shouyu ordered again. After all, this is a mountain road, and if you don't pay attention while riding, you will lose your life. After saying that, he immediately called his soldiers to climb up the wall of the village to strengthen the defense.
Tonight, Li Shouyu was destined to have a sleepless night.
However, there are many people who cannot sleep peacefully. For example, the temporary Prince Ying's Palace in Dangyang City is brightly lit at the moment, with butter candles lighting up both sides, and "Jingxi General" Mulima kneeling in the middle. He was shivering a little, maybe because he had just sobered up, maybe because the cold wind blew, making him sneeze uncontrollably, and his face was covered with snot. He knew the consequences of being attacked by the enemy and losing his camp. He could only secretly pray to God for blessings, and Azigmo would cut off his meal.
"Mulima, do you know your guilt?" Prince Ying asked, with murderous intent in his majestic voice.
After hearing this, Mulima immediately fell to the ground, "I will admit my guilt, I will admit my guilt! Your Majesty, please be merciful and forgive me this time." Standing next to him were several generals of the Prince of England, looking at Mu with an expressionless expression. Rima, as long as Azig gives the order, the heads of everyone in front of him will fall to the ground.
But then the people present heard Azig's words in disbelief. "The king appreciates your merits and hard work, so I wanted to let you go, but I am afraid that the generals will not accept it, so you can take the eighty army stick."
After hearing this, Mulima breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard "eighty army sticks" she had no choice but to continue begging for mercy:
"Your Majesty, this, this old slave's bones will fall apart when the 80-year-old army baton comes down. It's really unbearable!"
"Stop talking nonsense, stand up for me and beat me hard!" Azig couldn't care less about his feelings at this time and thought to himself: "How can I lead the troops if we don't run the army strictly?" While thinking, The corners of his mouth twitched up and he said coldly.
Mulima was dragged outside the hall by several sergeants for execution. There was a "pop" sound. Mulima started shouting, and before the beating was even half over, the person fainted. Azig had no choice but to teach his men to call Mulima's generals to carry him back to the base camp.
"It's so fucking unbeatable, I still haven't calmed down." After all, tonight's battle caused him a lot of losses, and he also lost the master Yi. He was originally going to be made the commander-in-chief, but he didn't expect him to be so cowardly. After thinking about it in my mind, I picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said to myself:
"No, I have to ask my second brother (Dorgon, the younger brother of Azig's mother) to send me more soldiers and horses for good deeds!"
…
At dawn, Li Yong and others, disguised as Qing soldiers, walked out of a house two miles away from the city. They changed into Qing soldier clothes, pretended to be merchants, and planned to enter the city to inquire about the military situation. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, everyone removed their long knives and swords and walked separately with only wrist-breaking knives on their bodies.
After a while, I arrived near the city gate and saw a tea picker. Everyone walked over one after another and sat down to drink tea.
After yesterday's battle, soldiers and horses were stationed everywhere in and outside the city, but there were still many people doing business. "It seems that this Qing soldier officer is quite good at winning people's hearts." Li Yong and the others were thinking in their hearts.
It was getting brighter. There was a lot of excitement at the city gate, and Li Yong and the others were about to get up when they heard a voice.
"All civil and military officials, military and civilians, etc., whether they were originally bandits or were forced to surrender, if they can submit to us, the Qing Dynasty will still allow them to be hired. If they resist, they will be severely punished and their wives will be made slaves. Kaicheng surrender will be promoted First level, benevolence to descendants...etc., etc." But it was a revealing article written by a poor scholar shaking his head at the notice board outside the city gate.
Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view—Wang Guangsheng. "He! Why is he here?" Looking again, he took a breath and saw that Wang Guangsheng was followed by a large number of his own soldiers and generals. A big, bald Qing soldier official was limping. He was being supported by someone while chatting with Wang Guangsheng, and a large number of soldiers and generals followed behind him. "Wang Guangsheng surrendered!" Li Yong gritted his teeth with hatred and clenched his fists with both hands, wishing to punch this old man to death.
"No, I have to go back and report the news!" Li Yong thought anxiously, and looked at the people around him who were as angry as him. Fortunately, their location was blocked by the flow of people, otherwise they would have been discovered. Fortunately, after Wang Guangsheng exchanged a few pleasantries, he led his men and horses towards a place where many tents were pitched two miles outside the city.
"Leave immediately." Li Yong nodded to the others, and then ran towards the place where they hid their horses.
The place where the horses are hidden is located at the northern foot of Huanglong Mountain, where Pi Xingyong ambushed yesterday. It is about four or five miles away from the official road. There are lowlands and hills in the middle, and there are no homes. After Li Yong and the others were out of sight of the officers and soldiers, they sped up and ran, hoping to report the news to Laiheng as soon as possible.
…
Not long after Mao Shi, Laiheng had already seen the northern slope of Wanchao Mountain, with flags all over the slope. Laiheng took a look at Tian Zhongshun, and saw Zhongshun coming over with a knowing smile. He was very happy in his heart. After winning the battle, his rebellion was eliminated, so he deserved it. Happiness is.
Looking back at the following team, I saw the flags flying and the troops marching neatly, and I felt very pleased. Thinking that yesterday, thanks to the participation of Pi Xingyong, Wang Guangsheng and Li Shouyu, they were able to escape unscathed. In a few days, when the Changping soldiers and horses are transferred back, Wang Guangsheng and the others will be rewarded greatly.
Not long after walking, they arrived in front of Mucha. The soldiers guarding the pass had already opened the gate to greet them, shouting "General!" The long cavalry following behind also stopped marching, and they all shouted "General!" "
Laiheng was so excited at this moment that he immediately rode his horse to a high place, raised his arms and shouted, "Protect my territory and return my rivers and mountains!"
Following Laiheng's eight-character exit, the soldiers' even more passionate calls filled the entire Wanchao Mountains.
"Protect my territory and return my rivers and mountains!"
Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged, and the color of the heaven and earth changed.
"What outstanding sons and daughters of China. What outstanding descendants of Yan and Huang, what magnificent splendid mountains and rivers! We can't tolerate the barbarians trampling on our rivers and mountains anymore, and we can't let the barbarians enslave our people anymore!" At this moment, Li Laiheng's heart was extremely excited and surging. .
I couldn't calm down for a long time.
