Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 686

Zhang Xianzhong's troops stormed the Miao village with all their might, but Sun Kewang and the Miao man A Shanbao had already escaped with Zhu Youlang. Some of his generals were Zhang Xianzhong's former troops. They felt that Zhu Yousong was thousands of miles away and broke into the Miao Village people's house, and got two Miao girls onto the bamboo bed...

But these soldiers of the Ming army were caught before Zhang Xianzhong's eyes, and they were all tied up. These people quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying that they had followed Zhang Xianzhong through life and death for many years, and begged him to miss their old love and spare their lives.

Adviser Yan Ximing charged Zhang Xianzhong and shook his head, Zhang Xianzhong understood, stroked his beard and stared at him, "Guer, in the past, my old Zhang might have spared you, but not now, we are all Ming soldiers General, Emperor Hongguang's army is strictly disciplined, with repeated orders and repeated orders, no one is allowed to enter private houses, no one is allowed to kill without reason, no one is allowed to abuse captives, Lao Zhang wants to spare you, can His Majesty spare Lao Zhang, you can't think of yourself as unlucky, kill!"

"Marshal, spare me, spare me..." Several soldiers regretted it, and one of them was a commander, shouting like killing a pig, but soon all their heads fell to the ground.

This time, no one dared to violate military discipline anymore, and did nothing to the people in these villages. Zhang Xianzhong sent an order to comfort the people, and Yan Xi ordered to publicize Ming's policies. He also helped the refugees in the village, repaired houses, and gave them appropriate Clothes and food relief, there are tens of thousands of Miao people in the stockade, seeing that the Ming army is really different, and knowing that this is Zhu Yousong's army, and they even worshiped in the direction of the capital. From then on, this Miao village For the first time, he surrendered to the Ming court, and never rebelled against the Ming Dynasty.

After resting for a while on the stockade, Zhang Xianzhong continued to pursue Zhu Youlang's remnants with 50 Ming troops. In order to express his gratitude to this Miao village, the new patriarch also sent several Miao people who were familiar with the road to support Zhang Xianzhong's team. Zhang Xianzhong was very happy with the men and horses as guides, and immediately rewarded each of them with [-] taels of silver, and then asked Li Dingguo to take them with him.

With a local guide, the pursuit is much quicker.Within three days, Li Dingguo's Pioneer Battalion caught up.

After Sun Kewang left Wang Shangli with 5000 troops, he and Ashan continued to flee with 1 people (including several thousand Miao armed forces).

Wang Shangli knew that he could not defeat Li Dingguo, so he ambushed 3000 troops in a forest, including 2000 archers and several tripping locks, and then took the remaining [-] troops, pretending to be in a panic, and started pretending to be his grandson when he came out. "General Li, for the sake of the fact that we once served as ministers in the same palace, can you allow Wang to surrender?"

"Your Majesty has a decree that those who surrender will not die, and the prisoners will be given priority. But you must dismount your horses and abandon your weapons, and tie them up yourself. Naturally, I, Li Dingguo, will not make things difficult for Brother Wang, how about it?"

Li Dingguo is not easy to be fooled. Seeing that the forest is dense and the terrain is complicated, and Wang Shangli's eyes are rolling around, he is on guard.

"Okay, General Li is very interesting, brothers, get off your horse and surrender." Wang Shangli said, winking at the soldiers behind him, then threw his big stick on the ground, jumped off his horse and asked someone to tie him up. They also threw away their knives and guns, and they were caught without a fight, willing to be prisoners.

"Tie up!" Li Dingguo didn't get off his horse, and with a knife in his hand, he ordered around, and the soldiers of the Ming army passed by and began to tie people up.

But as soon as these people approached Wang Shangli, Wang Shangli suddenly turned against him, knocked down several Ming soldiers who were about to tie him up, bent down and picked up the big sticks, and laid down on these Ming soldiers.The soldiers under him who pretended to surrender also attacked, and the two sides started a melee, but the Ming army who went to kidnap people relaxed their vigilance and obviously suffered a disadvantage.

Fortunately, Li Dingguo was prepared and ordered the archers to release arrows. The arrows were like migratory locusts and shot down Wang Shangli's men and horses on the spot.

"Hmph, let's do the same with this general. Brothers, kill and leave no one behind!" Li Dingguo pointed his sword in his hand, gave the order to charge, and rushed over immediately, aiming at Wang Shangli.

"Wang Shangli, you actually pretended to surrender. This general will catch you and smash you to pieces!" Li Dingguo shouted while chasing you.

"Hey, Li Dingguo, willing to be the imperial court's eagle dog, Wang Shangli failed to kill you this time, even if he is a ghost, he will not let you go..." Wang Shangli ran, cursing back while deliberately slowing down, deliberately luring Li Dingguo to chase him.He used tricks, this guy is really cunning, otherwise he wouldn't be the chief general of Zhang Xianzhong's army, in fact, his natural scud, if he really ran, he would be faster than his horse.

Sure enough, Li Dingguo caught up, led his men and horses to shoot arrows, while beheading Wang Shangli's remnants and defeated generals, and soon chased into the oak forest in front of him.

Suddenly the target was gone, Li Dingguo looked at the forest, murderous intent was everywhere, and he had a premonition that something was wrong, so he immediately stopped the horse, swung the knife back in his hand, "Stop chasing!"

The soldiers under him also reined in the silk reins, and the infantry stopped their steps.

But at this time, behind the tree, in the chaotic grass, ambushes suddenly appeared everywhere, and thousands of arrows were fired, shooting at Li Dingguo's men and horses like raindrops.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" Li Dingguo gave the order to retreat while drawing out the arrows with a big sword, but the people who were hit by the arrows had already fallen, and it was difficult to count.

Li Dingguo turned his horse's head and ran back, but after running a few steps, three tripping ropes bounced from the grass, each more than one meter high.His horse was not good either, he jumped over two lanes when he was caught off guard, and the horse stumbled in the third lane, and Li Dingguo cut off his horse head first.

Wang Shangli, who was hiding behind the tree, saw this scene clearly, and couldn't help being elated, ordered to stop shooting arrows, and led thousands of troops to fight out, encircling the remnants of Li Dingguo's troops.

Li Dingguo's Pioneer Battalion originally had 3000 people, and with the casualties just now, there are now less than [-] people left.Wang Shangli's troops were more than twice as many as theirs. In this scuffle, the Ming army was getting smaller and smaller.

Wang Shangli didn't care about others, and came to Li Dingguo with a big stick. This guy was short and thick, and he made a lot of effort immediately.

Li Dingguo lay there motionless, there was a puddle of blood under his body, which stained the grass red, and how far his sword fell, it was obvious that Li Dingguo was either dead or injured.

Overjoyed, Wang Shangli picked up a knife from the ground and came to cut off Li Dingguo's head.

But he never expected that just as Wang Shangli raised the knife, Li Dingguo's body suddenly hung up. It turned out that after Li Dingguo cut off his horse, there happened to be bloodstains here. Because he knew that he had been duped by Wang Shangli this time, and that he was outnumbered, so he came and used his tricks.

At this time, when he saw Wang Shangli approaching his eyes, he suddenly jumped up, and there was a series of swinging feet in the air. Wang Shangli didn't expect that Li Dingguo could pretend to be dead, so he couldn't dodge. The knife in his hand was kicked away, and the other kick It was time again, Wang Shangli was kicked out and rolled away, and the stick in his hand was also dropped.

After Li Dingguo landed, he picked up his big knife and slashed at Wang Shangli. Wang Shangli was not vulgar, so he picked up a gun in a hurry and fought Li Dingguo.But his skills are no match for Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo has no horse, he has no big stick, after counting, Li Dingguo yelled and knocked Wang Shangli to the ground, and cut off his head again.

Li Dingguo held Wang Shangli's head in one hand, and the other screamed to kill Wang Shangli's remnants. Although Wang Shangli's troops were large, but because the general was killed, Li Dingguo's troops turned defeat into victory, and finally wiped out Wang Shangli's troops in this oak forest. , the blood stained oak forest.
