Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Qin Erbao would not give Wu Xiang any chance.

When Lu Xiangsheng led the light armor soldiers to fight out from the back mountain of Dacang Ridge, Qin Erbao had already appeared in the Fengyang Mansion camp.

First, the bright rocket feathers were used to pave the way, the fire gun soldiers attacked from all sides, and finally the light armored soldiers came out from the front.

Wu Xiang stood in front of the Chinese army's tent, looking at the enemies on all sides.

For a time, it was unable to prevent an effective attack.

"How could this happen?" Wu Xiang held the hilt of the sword tightly, and his heart was filled with anger: "Why didn't the outer patrol report? Where are the scouts at the foot of the mountain? And where is the guard camp? How can the enemy come to kill like this?"

"Sir, this is the prime time. The army is resting and people are slack, and Qin Erbao and others are killing too fast. By this time, it is already too late for the young one who just wanted to report!"

"Where is the War Supervisor Camp?" Wu Xiang grabbed the collar of the personal guard: "Go and call the guards of the War Supervisor Camp. Everyone can only move forward to kill the enemy. Who dares to take a step back! Behead immediately!!!"

"The war supervisory battalion has already moved up. When the enemy came up just now, everyone was asleep and could not organize an effective attack in a short period of time. Sir, I will escort you to a safe place first!" The personal guard also wanted to cry. No tears, at this time, who would have thought that the Liaodong Army would directly attack?

"Damn it! Are you still running now? Are you going to Nanjing City? Kill me!" Wu Xiang threw away his bodyguards and then got on his horse. Many of his attendants also rushed over at this moment, riding the horse beside him. .

"This is a time of life and death. In Dacang Ridge, either the enemy dies or we live! Those who retreat will have no way to survive." Wu Xiang raised his long sword high and waved it towards the enemy.

Although it was late at night at this time, the entire Okura Ridge was illuminated by the firelight, and almost the entire mountain was reflected as if it were daytime.

After experiencing a brief panic, Wu Xiang's Fengyang Mansion army finally showed a trace of the quality of the Nanjing garrison and began to assemble their formations for a desperate battle with the enemy.

In particular, Wu Xiang took the lead in leading the soldiers and horses, which aroused everyone's fighting spirit.

"Kill me!!!" Wu Xiang, wearing bright armor, had already led his cavalry to kill three in and three out of the enemy army.

Bathed in blood, he looked like a god or demon.

L

The blood on the tip of the knife flowed along the groove to the ground, forming a bloody nest.

At this time, Qin Erbao, who was on the offensive side, had also been injured in many places.

Even though they were covered with chain mail on the outside and soft armor on the inside, they could not withstand the large number of opponents. Even though the Liaodong Army was powerful, they suffered heavy casualties.

After wiping away the blood on the blade, Qin Erbao lightly tightened the reins with his left hand, his eyebrows solemn.

"Send the order, the archer battalion and the shield soldiers will attack from the flanks. There is no need to rush to support them!" Qin Erbao planned to make a desperate move.

At this time, there is no need to hide your strength anymore.

Qin Erbao turned his head and looked into the distance, where the fire was looming - if Lu Xiangsheng's side ended the battle as soon as possible, then the frontal battlefield would be capable of fighting!

At this time, the back mountain of Okura Ridge.

The war has also entered a state of anxiety.

Zuo Liangyu almost fell into despair.

"Why hasn't Wu Xiang sent anyone to rescue him yet?" Zuo Liangyu had urged his subordinates twenty times, but none of the scouts sent for help came back.

Moreover, Zuo Liangyu's heart gradually sank into the valley as the killing cries and flames burst out in the distance.

"Wu Xiang will not send anyone to rescue him." Zuo Liangyu was covered in blood and was protected by his personal guards. He first looked up at Lu Xiangsheng, who was constantly rushing to kill his own camp, and then turned to look to the east, which is the direction of Nanjing City: " At this time, Nanjing City must have received the news that the army was blocked!"

"Sir, we can't resist anymore! If Wu Xiang's army doesn't come to help, our army will be completely wiped out!" The deputy general next to Zuo Liangyu wanted to persuade his commander.

"What do you want to say?" Zuo Liangyu asked knowingly.

"Evacuate first! Preserve our strength. We will still have the right to speak in the court. If we destroy all our men, no one will judge us. In the eyes of the emperor and the court, we will no longer be valuable. Come on!" The deputy general no longer wanted to waste time here.

It is not a wise move to lose all your belongings here!

Zuo Liangyu's eyes darkened when he heard this.

In fact, he had already thought of retreating.

When Wu Xiang sent Wu Sangui to take a detour from Huangfu Mountain to Chuzhou Prefecture, Zuo Liangyu knew that Wu Xiang had left a way out for him.

If the general is like this, how can he, the deputy general, not think of a way out?

"Sir, make a decision as soon as possible!" the deputy general urged again.

Whoosh! ! !

When Zuo Liangyu was still struggling.

A sharp arrow passed directly through Zuo Liangyu's hair, and then shot straight past.

There was only one inch left, and this famous general in the Nanjing imperial court would suffer the consequences.

Gudu

With his Adam's apple rolling, Zuo Liangyu subconsciously raised his hand and touched his neck.

"withdraw!"

The voice was almost a whisper, so the left and right could not be heard clearly.

"Sir, what did you say?"

"I said withdraw!!!"

Zuo Liangyu roared, then turned his horse's head and galloped away toward the east where the enemy's attack was weaker.

“Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw!!!”

As soon as the coach left, the morale of the army immediately collapsed.

Almost at the same time, everyone followed Zuo Liangyu and broke out towards the east.

Seeing the enemy retreating like a tide, Lu Xiangsheng's offensive also weakened slightly.

"Sir, are you still chasing me?" Beside Lu Xiangsheng, two deputy commander-in-chiefs, one on the left and one on the right, came to take orders.

There were corpses and broken tents all over the ground, and sporadic mountain fires were spreading in the distance.

Lu Xiangsheng observed the direction Zuo Guangdou left for a long time before giving the order: "Send a group of scouts at the back and report immediately if there is any situation."

After saying this, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Left Route held a long sword and pointed towards the southern foothills: "The entire army immediately set off, encircled the main army, and launched a general attack on the last Ming army!"

"Sir, we are out of troops and horses, why don't we take a rest and make plans again?" The deputy commander hesitated.

After all, in this raid, more than 30% of the more than 5,000 people have been lost so far, and the rest have been more or less injured. If the fight continues like this, more than half will be killed. Even if it is a victory, it will be a tragic victory.

"The military order is like a mountain. Let us inform you that all those who participated in this battle, from the general to the soldiers, will be promoted to one level and will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. Those who are beheaded will be counted separately! I will let everyone People know that in this battle, even if all the Liaodong Left Route Army is wiped out, as long as Fengyangdu’s army in Dacang Ridge is captured, the war will stop in the next ten years!”

Will the war stop in the next ten years?

These words were not what Lu Xiangsheng said casually, but were the combat goals set by Wang Qi when he convened a general-level meeting in Suzhou.

As long as this Nanjing court army is completely wiped out, the overall situation between the north and the south can be determined.

Ten years of no war is a conservative estimate.

----

There was a loud boom, as if the entire Okura Ridge had been cut off.

Wu Xiang felt something in his heart and turned back to look in the direction of Zuo Liangyu's army.

All you can see is the sky full of firelight, reflecting the rising sun at dawn and thousands of clouds, just like a fairyland.

There were faint sounds of horse hooves and killing cries.

"That's..." A flicker of hope suddenly rose in Wu Xiang's eyes.

He was looking forward to it, and in the blink of an eye, Zuo Liangyu's army arrived in front of him!

“Big things can happen!!!”

For a moment, Wu Xiang's heart seemed to jump out of his chest.

With a crash, the flags were fluttering, and the big flag with the word "Lu" flying in the air, suddenly kicked Wu Xiang directly from the clouds to hell.

Zuo Liangyu! ! !

Shuzi is not enough to make plans! ! !

Wu Xiang almost vomited blood.

Zuo Liangyu had an army of more than 30,000 people. Even if the enemy attacked at night, they couldn't hold out for even an hour?

"Pass the Duke of Qi's order!"

Qin Erbao took the opportunity to roar out, brandishing a knife in his hand to confuse people's hearts:

"Those who put down their weapons will live! Those who resist stubbornly will die immediately!!!" In fact, nowadays, the common people, or most people, still have the impression of Wang Qi as the Duke of Qi who covers the sky with one hand.

Not some chief lord.

Therefore, when Qin Erbao sent the order, he subconsciously used the title of Qi Guogong.

Almost instantly, a deafening sound came from the entire Dacangling Mountain:

The Duke of Qi decrees: Those who surrender will live, those who resist will die!

The Duke of Qi decrees: Those who surrender will live, those who resist will die!

The Duke of Qi decrees: Those who surrender will live, those who resist will die!

For the common people, ordinary soldiers, even the world's scholars, officials and princes,

The three words "Qi Guogong",

The energy and power it contains are far beyond what ordinary people can compare to.

No matter the original Emperor Tianqi or the current Emperor Chongzhen, it is impossible to compare with Wang Qi's momentum.

Therefore, the sound waves all over the mountains and plains are like surges, hitting people's hearts.

Countless people, in the midst of these waves, released their hands and the weapons in their hands suddenly fell.

"You bunch of pigs and dogs who are greedy for life and afraid of death!" Wu Xiang was furious. He rode his horse back and forth in his camp, whipping the soldiers with whips and the backs of swords!

"Pick up your weapons! Fight towards the enemy! You have been in vain for decades!" Wu Xiang almost broke the whip in his hand.

But they still couldn't stop everyone, they kept throwing away their weapons and accepted the incorporation of the Liaodong Army.

"I wish I could kill the thief and die!" Wu Xiang pulled the reins and looked at Qin Erbao and Lu Xiangsheng who had joined an army in the distance.

"General Wu, you can commit suicide and die. I will keep your body intact and send it to Nanjing City as a mark of respect!"

Qin Erbao shook the black whip in his hand with respect in his tone.

"I don't know how to commit suicide!" Wu Xiang was still sitting on the horse, with dozens of personal guards behind him, all of them holding weapons and showing no fear.

"pity."

Qin Erbao nodded, then raised his hand slightly.

Wu Xiang frowned, and saw a group of archers behind Qin Erbao on the opposite side, all with full strings and bows, aiming at him.

The squeaking of the bowstring, which was like a full moon, seemed to reach Wu Xiang's ears.

Is this the sound of death?

Finally, Wu Xiang felt a hint of fear at the last moment.

but

Wu Xiang also felt a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, he had sent his son Wu Sangui to Chuzhou Prefecture yesterday.

Then sacrifice your own life in exchange for your son's future.

"put!!!"

Qin Erbao waved his hand, and more than a hundred cavalrymen behind him moved their bowstrings, and arrows rained out from the sky.

The bow string moved slightly and the arrow feathers trembled, all heading towards Wu Xiang.

The black sword tip in his eyes grew bigger and bigger, Wu Xiang closed his eyes slightly.

"Son, from now on, it's up to you to avenge your father!"

Pfft.

Arrow clusters enter the body.

All the strength in his body was drained almost instantly.

Not only Wu Xiang, but also dozens of personal guards behind him were also hit by arrows.

Wu Xiang's hand that was tightening the reins slowly loosened.

With a thud, he fell from his horse.

Except for the dust splashing all over the ground, there was no sound.

"Go, find a place to bury General Wu and his bodyguard camp, and set up a monument!" Qin Erbao saw the scene of Wu Xiang's death, and finally felt something. On the battlefield, everyone is their master, but the death of Wu Xiang A general is always admirable.

"Sir, what is written on the monument?" the deputy general asked.

"The tomb of General Wu Xiang of the Southern Dynasty," Qin Erbao thought for a while and always wanted to give him some dignity.

"I obey my orders."

----

The battle at Okura Ridge is over.

To be honest, Wang Qi was a little surprised when he received the news.

After all, his original plan was to have Xiong Tingbi lead more than a thousand troops to support him again, and the two sides surrounded him and fought to the death.

But whether Qin Erbao was decisive in killing, Wu Xiang, Zuo Liangyu and his like were too mediocre.

It's finally over.

Wu Xiang died and half of his 100,000 troops were captured.

Zuo Liangyu led more than 20,000 people to flee in panic, while Wu Sangui led more than 5,000 people to Nanjing.

"Sir, we found a group of people coming from Nanjing to bring an imperial edict to Wu Xiang!" The guard stepped forward and reported the discovery to Wang Qi.

"The imperial edict of Nanjing City?"

Wang Qi raised his eyebrows: "Bring the people up!"

Not long after, an officer and soldier who looked like a commander was brought up. All his weapons had been removed. He stood in front of Wang Qi fearfully, not daring to speak.

"Sir, this is it," the guard held the imperial edict and handed it to Wang Qi.

Sitting on the chair, Wang Qi unfolded it and then looked down.

After a while, the chief executive of Beijing City raised his lips and said, "This edict is a bit late."

"Where do you work?" Wang Qi raised his head and looked at Pu Bing who brought the letter.

With a plop, Pu Bing knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "I am a small official in Tongzheng Yamen. I have an eighty-year-old mother at home and a child who is waiting to be fed. Please spare my life! Spare my life!!!"

"I won't kill you," Wang Qi said warmly, "I want you to bring me a letter and give it to Zhu Youjian."

Zhu Youjian?

Pu Bing was stunned when he heard this, who is Zhu Youjian?

"That's your Emperor," Wang Qi grinned: "It won't be long before you call him by his name."

Guru,

Pu Bing swallowed his saliva and looked at the heroic and powerful man in front of him.

A name and this figure gradually overlapped.

"Are you the Duke of Qi?"

Pu Bing asked tentatively.

"It used to be," Wang Qi nodded.

"My lord!" The moment Wang Qi admitted, Napu Bing's eyes immediately lit up, and he kowtowed to the ground again: "I am willing to serve you as a filial piety!! Please do as you please!!!"

"The work of the dogs and horses will be made up for," Wang Qi waved his hand and picked up a letter from the table: "Just give this to Chongzhen!" (End of Chapter)
