Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 473 Two Moves Li Chengdong

The spearmen of the Qing army killed Du Biao through, and the two generals around Li Yuanyin immediately rushed forward and grabbed Li Chengdong, shouting: "The Ming army is powerful, Du Town, go!"

Li Chengdong didn't have time to answer, the Ming army swarmed in again, he saw that there were still a large number of Li's soldiers surrounded in the formation, he broke free from the two of them, and forced the Ming army again with the Guan knife, the two generals had to rush forward too, but There were too many Ming troops, and the two of them were suddenly stabbed to death by several spears.

Seeing that Li Chengdong was in danger again, Chen Yuanyin on the side roared wildly, swept the spear in his hand, and forced the Ming army to retreat. He ran to Li Chengdong's back to back with him, and shouted again: "Father, let's go, my son is here!" ~" Before the words fell, Yi Mingqi stabbed in front of him with a spear, Li Chengdong quickly dodged, and the gun directly hit his iron helmet, making his head buzzing, and the helmet flew out directly, Mingqi was about to take advantage of the victory to pursue , but Li Yuanyin grabbed the barrel of the gun and dragged it fiercely. Ming Qi couldn't hold it, and was dragged off the horse. He kicked his foot, Ming Qi flew out, and knocked down several Ming soldiers.

Taking the free time, he saw Li Chengdong's forehead was cut and his face was covered with blood, and he immediately shouted: "The Ming army is so powerful, we can't let the brothers die in vain. If you don't leave, it will be too late. The three armies must be without commanders. After this general, you Take my father and commander to break through." Several Qing soldiers got the order, and without any explanation, they held Li Chengdong from left to right, and dragged him away with his back facing forward, so that he could see the encirclement of the Ming army shrinking and shrinking. The soldiers were overwhelmed by the crowd of the Ming army...

Under the banner of the Ming army, Wang Shixiu hung one arm, knelt down on one knee in frustration, and pleaded guilty to Wang Yan: "The last general is incompetent and failed to kill Li Chengdong. Please punish him!"

Wang Yan helped him up, looked at his arm, and hurriedly comforted him: "Zhangzhou is a turtle in a urn, and Li Chengdong will be captured by this pavilion sooner or later. It's okay to keep him for a while. This time, the supervisor stopped most of Li's troops. Capturing Li Yuanyin is a great achievement, Shixiu is not responsible, and there are rewards. Let's go to heal your wounds first, this pavilion will be of great use in the future."

"Master, thank you, Duke!" Wang Shixiu thanked him, and was stroked down by his own soldiers.

At present, the generals of various ministries also came to report one after another, and the secretaries of the shogunate registered one by one. Finally, they learned that in this battle, more than 900 people from the Qing army were annihilated. , Zhongzheng killed and injured a total of 700 people.

Hearing the result, Wang Yan couldn't help frowning for a while. He was a little shocked that the Ming army suffered so many casualties when they had all the advantages.

Chen Bangyan checked the statistics and saw that Wang Yan's face was not good, so he said, "Gebu, this is mainly because the recruiting of [-] new soldiers has not yet formed a combat force, and most of the troops surnamed Zheng Guo are new trainees." Bing, facing a long-fighting division like Li Bu, there will naturally be some gaps."

Wang Yan nodded, "What I'm worried about is to lure Li Chengdong out. Our army has the upper hand, and we still have to pay such casualties. Now that the Qing army is guarding the city, wouldn't the casualties be even worse for my subordinates?"

The morale of the army was unstoppable. After seeing Li Bu's toughness, Wang Yan didn't mention this kind of depression to his generals, but he could say something to his advisers.

Chen Bangyan said with a smile: "Didn't the cabinet already decide on a strategy? Our army doesn't need to take Zhangzhou by force."

Wang Yan raised his eyes and said: "The real method of bombing the city has already begun to be excavated, and the strategy of recruiting and surrendering has not yet been figured out by this cabinet. Sir, you can teach me how to do it!"

"I do have some ideas that I want to share with the cabinet." Chen Bangyan cupped his hands, and then said: "Li Chengdong experienced today's defeat, and the Qing soldiers in the city must be unstable. It is indeed the best time to recruit and surrender. In practice, the humble I think there is a lot to do in it. First of all, the cabinet can order people to shoot letters in the city. This is for ordinary soldiers, especially Zheng’s surrender, which can further shake the morale of the Qing soldiers. Second, the Duke can Put Li Yuanyin back into the city, and entrust him with a message to Li Chengdong, asking him to surrender. In this way, if Li Chengdong offered the city, the cabinet troops could win Zhangzhou without bloodshed, and it didn't matter if Li Chengdong didn't surrender. Showing kindness to Li Chengdong will inevitably create doubts in my heart, and it will also create a gap between the two thieves."

Wang Yan's eyes turned, Li Yuanyin was only a general of the Qing army, he could be captured again, "Mr. is very good at planning."

In history, Li Yuanyin was more respectable than his adoptive father Li Chengdong. After Li Chengdong died, if the Yongli court had not had selfish intentions, Guangdong would not have fallen into the hands of the Qing soldiers so soon, and Li Yuanyin would not have fallen into After the siege, in desperation, he put on the Ming Dynasty uniform and went to the city to worship four times, crying and sighing, "Your Majesty has failed my ministers, and my ministers have not failed your Majesty!" Then he slayed himself and died.

Wang Yan decided to adopt Chen Bangyan's suggestion, and immediately asked his personal guard to bring Li Yuanyin over with a token.

During the waiting time, Wang Yan and Chen Bangyan talked about other strategies, including bombing the city and storming.

Not long after, Li Yuanyin was brought into the tent by the Ming army. Wang Yan looked at him and saw that he was in his 20s, his hands were tied behind his back, and his armor was stained with blood. General, now that I have captured you, you may wish to surrender."

"Those who are traitors are disloyal! My father is the commander-in-chief of the Qing army. If I betray my father again, it will be considered unfilial. For those who are unfaithful and unfilial, what is the use of the cabinet to keep me? I just want to die now." Li Yuanyin replied, After finishing speaking, close your eyes and wait to die.

Hearing this, Wang Yan was secretly amazed. Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, he sighed a little in his heart. The Shige Department was actually responsible for the Xuzhou Town surrendering without a fight. He glanced at Chen Bangyan and saw him nodding slightly, so he said again He said: "You don't have to be single-minded about death. You and your father cherish the fact that you are a good general. This court sees the old relationship. Now let you go back to the city. You can tell your father that if he opens the city and surrenders, there is still a way out. , if you are stubborn, and the day the city is destroyed, this pavilion will definitely destroy the three clans, and it will not be too late to kill you at that time."

Recruiting and surrendering usually requires generous conditions, but Wang Yan only said that he would not die, which is obviously not attractive to Li Chengdong. But he ignored it, and now Zhangzhou has become a turtle in the urn, so naturally there are no good conditions.

Follow the rules in everything, Wang Yan has already set a good example for those rebels, Jin Shengheng surrendered at the first move, admiral of a province's military affairs, and worshiped the Marquis, with this as the standard, Li Chengdong repeatedly failed to surrender, blocking the heavenly soldiers, It is already a very good condition to let him live.

After hearing Wang Yan's words, Li Yuanyin couldn't help looking at him, and asked in doubt: "The cabinet department wants to let me go back to the city and persuade my father to surrender?"

Wang Yan nodded, "You can tell Li Chengdong that if he surrenders, this pavilion will let him live and let him take his followers to the Fuzhou Mine and mine for three years to atone for his past crimes!"
