Chapter 213 Taking advantage of the fire
In fact, Turg knew that it was basically impossible to escape whether to break through or not. The bandit army completely crushed the weapons, and its will and combat effectiveness were not inferior. The troops of less than 20,000 people on his side were compressed into an area of about twenty miles and could not move. With Li Xinmian's close plan, it was impossible to omission. His main purpose was to send a few flintlock guns he picked up on the battlefield to Dorgon's hands.
He witnessed the power of the flintlock rifle and tried it with his own hands. It was indeed much more convenient and sharper than the flintlock rifle. If the Qing Dynasty imitated the flintlock rifle, it might not have a chance to avenge the previous shame!
That night, the Qing army quietly tried to bypass Linqing from the left and right wings and headed south to Shandong. However, unexpectedly, they were ambushed and the battle started again. The sound of gunfires rang throughout the night sky. It was not until the early morning that the Qing army left behind thousands of corpses and retreated helplessly.
However, what surprised Turge was that the bandits did not lay landmines, and the few confidants he sent did not come back, and I wonder if they had escaped.
The newborn sun shone on the bloody ground, covered with a layer of blood. The soldiers were busy cleaning the battlefield. Zhang Nai came over and asked Li Xin: "Mr. Li, I thought last night that as long as I work harder, the Qing army could die at least two or three thousand more, or if they pursued it, they might be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop."
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Turge is of some use to me, I'm worried that I'll kill him."
"oh?"
Zhang Nai, Huimei Huiying and Gao Guiying all turned their puzzled eyes.
Li Xin didn't say anything.
Huiying couldn't help pinching the soft flesh on Li Xin's waist and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"Still it go slowly, until the morale of the Qing army is sluggish and the fighting spirit is exhausted, it is time to launch a general attack."
Li Xin smiled mysteriously.
...
Yangzhou!
When Sun Chuanting was waiting, Sun Chuanting led nearly 30,000 troops to gather outside Yangzhou, while Shi Kefa and Hongniangzi led 8,000 troops to fight against him.
"Shameless!"
Shi Kefa was full of anger.
The lady Hong advised from the side: "Mr. Xianzhi, my husband has long expected that Hou Xun will take advantage of the situation to attack. Don't worry, don't look at our few soldiers, but you are not unclear about the virtues of the soldiers in the court. If Mr. Li is here, maybe someone will dare to hold on to Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting to ask for me!"
“Haha~~”
Shi Kefa thought about the scene and couldn't help but stroke his beard and laugh.
Opposite, Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting were also observing the positions of the bandit army. Hou Xun didn't know much about the troops, but Sun Chuanting led the troops to fight for many years. He thought that Li Xin was a tricky guy, but unexpectedly, even if Li Xin left with his main force, there was still murderous aura in the bandit army. If he forced his attack, he might not be able to get it. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but take a look at Hou Xun.
Today, the soldiers in Nanjing are all brought out by Hou Xun, but Hou Xun himself does not know the soldiers and allows some deputy generals and generals to train randomly, get rich and get involved in Shangguan. Such soldiers, not to mention the Beijing camp, even Sun Chuanting trained in Nanjing earlier, was far inferior to those of the soldiers.
Hou Xun saw something wrong and turned around and said, "Brother Baigu, Shi Xianzhi is a loyal and righteous man. He must have been confused by Li Xin and went astray. Wait for me to persuade him."
"Father, you can't be in danger!"
Hou Fangyu looked at his father in amazement.
“Hey~~”
Hou Xun waved his hand disapprovingly: "Although my father has no contact with Shi Xianzhi, I know that he is not capable of success, and it will not be difficult for me. Don't worry!"
Sun Chuanting also had a good understanding of Shi Kefa. Since Hou Xun wanted to try, let’s give it a try. So he said: “How can I let my brother Dazhen (Hou Xunbiao) go to the danger alone? Students should advance and retreat with Brother Dazhen.”
"please!"
Hou Xun didn't say much, and rushed forward. Sun Chuanting followed closely, with only a dozen personal soldiers around him.
"Brother Xianzhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, okay don't come?"
A group of people rushed to the bandits and waited for Xun to bow.
Shi Kefa also took the formation several steps and replied with a bow: "It turns out that Brother Dazhen and Brother Baigu are going to the danger with their own life. What's the point?"
Hou Xun stroked his beard and said with a sad look: "Brother Xian, you are a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and Brother Yu is a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli. I entrusted you to call me brother. I want you to receive the emperor's kindness in the world and serve the country loyally. How can you pass the thief? Looking back now, it's not too late. The emperor will forgive you and allow you to make meritorious contributions. With your talent, if you enter the center, you will be able to turn the tide!"
Shi Kefa's expression was a little complicated and he sighed: "Why do you want to turn the tide? Brother Dazhen praised me. When it comes to today, what is the situation? Brother Dazhen is not ignorant. It is not that I, Shi Kefa, do not know how to serve the country, but that the Ming Dynasty is no longer able to make a living. I am worthy of being the plan for the people of the world. Don't mention this matter again, my intention has been decided!"
As he spoke, Shi Kefa changed his voice and sneered: "Brother Dazhen, Brother Baigu, the commander-in-chief led the army to Linqing to fight the Tartars. They are both Han people. It would be fine if you two don't wave the flag and shout, but instead take advantage of the situation to rob. Are you not afraid of being slandered and colluding with the Eastern Cap in secret, or are you afraid of being criticized and being criticized for being invincible for eternal infamous?"
Hou Xun felt a little ashamed and lowered his head awkwardly.
"snort!"
Sun Chuanting snorted: "The army is ordered by the emperor to fight against the thief. What does it have to do with the Eastern Barbarians? Brother Xian, don't swear by others. Instead, you, you are probably going to bear the title of thief for the rest of your life."
Hou Xun quickly advised: "Brother Baigu, Commander Li led his troops to fight against the Donglu, and what he did was a righteous act. Although he was an enemy of the court, one was one, two was two, so don't confuse it!"
Sun Chuanting sneered secretly. He felt that Hou Xun wanted to withdraw his troops, which he definitely did not allow. He also hoped that Hou Xun would suffer a defeat and lose fame, so he would take the opportunity to regain military power.
After Chen Xinjia was killed, Sun Chuanting saw the current situation clearly. When Chongzhen was messing around, no one would work hard for the court again. Most of the governors and generals in various places had their own troops. The situation at the end of the Han Dynasty and the late Tang Dynasty was about to repeat itself. At the time of chaos in the sky, having soldiers and power was the way to protect himself. He needed Hou Xun to suffer a defeat and could not come to Yangzhou and let Hou Xun escape unscathed.
"Brother Dazhen, Shi Xianzhi is determined to betray the emperor. It is useless to say more about it. It is better to return to the camp earlier and settle the troops for battle."
Sun Chuanting bowed to Hou Xun again.
Hou Xun looked at Shi Kefa in front of him, and saw that his face was cold and solemn, without any wavering, and shook his head helplessly: "It's so sad to be fucked in the same room. Since Brother Xian has made up his mind, don't blame me for saying goodbye!"
Shi Kefa bowed and said, "I'm waiting for you all!"
Hou Xun and Sun Chuanting returned to the camp. After a moment, the Ming army pressed on the entire line and launched an attack on the bandits.
...
The streets of Jiankang, on the Qinhuai River, and the Gongyuan area are the most prosperous places in Nanjing. Originally, Bian Yujing and Kou Baimen were both arrogant, but they had the same position in supporting Li Xin. They often joined hands to fight with Hou Fangyu, Chen Zhenhui, Li Xiangjun and Gu Hengbo. After a few times, they became good sisters who could talk about everything. Today, the two girls stood hand in hand and started to walk around the streets.
Both women are in their prime, beautiful, with a light makeup and a well-matched outfit. They have grown up in the Jiaofangsi since childhood, and have cultivated a temperament that is inverted by all living beings. No matter where they go, they are the focus of attention.
Many women snorted secretly: Slutty hoofs, fox charming, full of disdain and jealousy.
Many men can't take their eyes off their eyes and their faces are full of greed, but they basically have self-knowledge. Such women have long been decided by the princes of some powerful families, and they are not able to touch them at all.
"A Mei, Mr. Li is fighting against the Tartars outside, but a villain stabbed the knife from the back. Why do you think some people don't know how to write the word "shy"?"
Bian Yujing held Kou Baimen's arm and said angrily.
"yes!"
Kou Baimen nodded and said, "I really didn't expect that the waiter army would do such a thing when they are famous."
"Hmph, there must be a son like his father!"
Bian Yujing snorted: "Look at Hou Fangyu's virtue, his father is not a good person either!"
Kou Baimen sighed: "The Hou Zhengjun... After all, it is the official in the court. I don't need to give this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm afraid the emperor will not explain it. Alas, these are all things that men are worried about. We are just a brothel woman. I hope Mr. Li can defeat the Donglu in Linqing, and hope that Yangzhou will not have an accident."
Bian Yujing sighed with her pretty face, full of worries.
The two girls walked silently along the bustling streets, as if they were no longer interested, but suddenly they found that the door of a shop in front was full of people.
"Let's go and take a look!"
