Chapter 275: The Battle of Wushishan (IV)

When Yang Guodong saw that the Qing soldiers stopped attacking, the darkness of the city was full of Qing soldiers. Not far away, a Qing general rode on a horse, and a flag behind him was written with a big "Geng" on it.

Needless to say, this person is Geng Zhongming.

Yang Guodong turned around and looked behind him. It was a three-meter-high city wall. Outside the city wall was a five-meter-wide moat. When he looked at his soldiers, due to hunger, they were not physically strong and had fought for another half an hour. Most of them had already died in battle. The alive were already exhausted and were shaking. They were just relying on their blood and courage to hold on.

He understood that he was no longer immune, and there was only one way to die except surrender.

Reduction is definitely not to be reduced.

"Since ancient times, no one has died, but he will leave his loyalty to shine in history." Wen Tianxiang's poems crossed his mind, and Yang Guodong's ambition to live and die.

However, he still had a little concern in his heart, that is his two sons. The eldest son Yang Changjiang had just become a dying person, and the second son Yang Changhe was only ten years old, and they were both staying at the Guilin family. I wonder if the two sons could become good things after his death? Can they continue the glory of their fathers?

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly smiled and said to himself: "What's wrong with me? Why are you worried about my son coming? The emperor is most kind to the orphans of the dead. Isn't the literary quality an obvious example? As long as the city of Guilin is not broken, what else can I worry about in my son's future?"

Thinking of this, he put his heart down, tore off a battle robe, put the blood on his left arm, wrote a few lines, and then called Yang Chi, the captain of the personal soldiers, and handed him the blood robe: "Yang Chi, this is my last writing. You are very skilled in martial arts, so you can escape at night. Remember to hand this blood robe to the emperor. In addition, he told his wife, let her teach her two sons well, so that their sons will not forget their father's grudges, always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and always be loyal to the emperor."

"Master, please send someone else. I am willing to die with you!" Yang Chi knelt on the ground and cried with tears in her eyes. He was Yang Guodong's personal soldiers and the son of his servant. He has always been loyal and has a very good relationship with Yang Guodong's master and servant.

"Don't cry, others may not be able to escape without your ability. You can't die with me. Our father and father are dead here. Who can protect your young master and mistress?"

"Then... Master, I'm just obeying the order!" When Yang Chi heard this, he knew that the master had made up his mind and said more was useless. He quickly put the bloody clothes in his arms, kowtowed three times, sobbed and jumped down the city wall, moved a few times, and then hid into the darkness.

When Yang Guodong saw Yang Chi go, he completely let go of his worries. He turned around, looked at Geng Zhongming, and said loudly: "Is Geng Shen General opposite?"

Geng Zhongming was once a general of Dengzhou, the Ming Dynasty. Because he had a grudge against Huang Long, the general of Pidao, to kill his brother, and cooperated with Kong Youdeli, and killed Huang Long's family and rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

Yang Guodong used the old name, obviously did not recognize Geng Zhongming's current so-called identity as King Huaishun, and intended to remind Geng Zhongming: "You are a traitor to the Ming Dynasty!"

"General Yang, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Now that your life is in my hands, do you still have to show off your words?" Geng Zhongming understood what Yang Guodong meant as soon as he heard this. He wanted to stand on a moral high ground to accuse and humiliate himself, so he smiled disdainfully.

"People will humiliate themselves and their talents. Geng Zhongming, don't look at you being named King Huaishun by the Tartars today. In the future, you will be infamous in history books. Your descendants will definitely be shamed because of you." Yang Guodong said loudly.

"Yang Guodong! I think of you as brave and good at fighting. I wanted to take a tiger general for my master. Don't you want to survive if you insult me ​​like this?" Geng Zhongming was so angry that he was scolded by Yang Guodong.

"Bah! You, a person who sells your ancestors and seeks honor, will never understand the word "loyalty and righteousness", and will never understand the hearts of loyal ministers. Mr. Yang is defeated by you today, and death will die. Who will live like you? Once Mr. Yang dies today, he will be proud and upright in the world!"

Yang Guodong finished speaking passionately, with a long sword straddled and committed suicide!

When the Ming soldiers saw the commander committing suicide, they were all full of anger and screamed, waving their swords and guns toward the enemy. Of course, these soldiers who had been seriously overdrawn in the body rushed towards the strong Qing soldiers, which was like a stone thrown into the sea, and were swallowed without any waves arousing.

Geng Zhongming walked up to the city wall and came to Yang Guodong's body, thinking: "After fighting for so many years, there are not many Ming generals who refuse to surrender. Apart from Sun Chengzong and Shi Kefa, there are only Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng and others. Sun Chengzong, Shi Kefa, and Lu Xiangsheng are all literati, and the only real military general is Cao Wenzhao. The Ming Dynasty has been raising righteousness for more than 200 years, and only a few people have been born. Yongli has only been in the court for more than 200 years, and he has been raising such a loyal and righteous minister?! Yongli cannot be underestimated."

Thinking of this, Geng Zhongming bowed slightly to Yang Guodong's body three times, and then said to his subordinates: "This person is loyal and righteous, and it is admirable. Find a place to bury his body and erect a monument. Don't let the wild dogs harm his body."

...

"The encirclement of the army must be missing", this is the way of military strategy.

Monk Geng Zhongming knew the truth well. When Geng Zhongming besieged the East Gate, Shang Kexi had long ambushed his troops between Baimian Shishan and Dashishan.

Chen Kuangxia led 6,000 soldiers in front, and He Tengjiao's troops in the back (most of Hao Yaoqi's 20,000 troops were broken in Quanzhou City). According to the retreat route formulated by Yang Guodong, he fled southeastward. When he fled to Baimianshi Mountain, the Qing soldiers were ambushed.

The hillsides on both sides were full of Qing soldiers, and another soldier and horse general was blocked from the road, and arrows shot like locusts. The poor Ming army had no choice but to accept the fate of being shot helplessly.

The Ming army screamed one after another on the official road, and instantly, the corpses piled up like mountains and blood flowed into rivers. It was a terrible sight!

Seeing that it was not a problem, Chen Kuangxia would have wiped out the entire army without killing a bloody road. He was fierce and braved the rain of arrows and rushed forward hard, rushing towards the Qing army formation blocking the middle of the road. Seeing this, He Tengjiao commanded Li Guo, Hao Yaoqi, Gao Yigong, Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and other powerful generals followed closely. After a desperate bloody battle, he finally opened a hole to protect He Tengjiao and break out of the siege.

He Tengjiao ran eastward. When it was dawn, he came to the vicinity of Chengzhi Mountain. When he looked behind him, he saw that only the armor was crooked and a team of cavalrymen were trapped in the formation.

"Repair it, check it out to see how many people there are?" He Tengjiao said desperately, enduring his sadness.

"The commander-in-chief has 1,100 cavalry, General Chen's army has 300 cavalry, and our army has 800 cavalry." After a while, Li Guo returned.
