The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 127 Chasing the Enemy
Especially the man rushing to the front of the Ming army, who looked like a god of war descending to earth, with a saber dancing so coldly that the surrounding Qing troops would be killed instantly if they got a little bit of it.

The soldiers who were still alive had already lost their fighting spirit under the oppression of this terrifying momentum, they all got off their horses and knelt down to beg for mercy, and the few who tried to escape were quickly cut down to the ground.

The hatred in Nu Shan's heart, he has been careful and cautious for half his life, but in the end he was still fooled by the Han people!He tightly clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, his blood-red eyes stared fixedly at the officer of the Ming army who was rushing to the front, roared furiously and rushed towards him, even if he died, he would have to hold his back!

There was a loud bang, and something hit his body from the side after he had just run about ten steps. The huge impact threw him more than ten feet away, and his internal organs suddenly gushed out from the opening under his ribs.

"Be careful, general!" A dragon guard hussar blew away the smoke from the gun muzzle, and put the short gun in his waist, completely unaware that he had added a rich and colorful stroke to his record of military exploits.

Zheng Chenggong, who was running side by side with him, nodded gratefully at him, and then pulled his horse to kill on the flank.

By dawn, the corpses and bloodstains on the street at the south gate of Changting City had been cleaned up. Except for the bullet marks on the walls of the residential houses, there were no traces of the fierce fighting that took place last night.

Speaking of which, this battle seemed easy to win, but in fact it was quite thrilling, just over an hour after the ambush was set up in the city, Chang Yongnian had already attracted the thieves.

The day before yesterday, Bai Daqi first went to look for Jiang Zhengxi, and sure enough, as Zheng Chenggong said, dozens of soldiers guarded the door and did not let him in at all.

In desperation, he had no choice but to go to Huang Daozhou, and told him that Zheng Chenggong suspected that Chang Yongnian had something different, and asked him to help inform Jiang Zhengxi.

At the beginning of Zodiac Zhou, he didn't believe it, but he was cautious, so he decided to discuss it with Zheng Chenggong.

As a result, Zheng Chenggong's analysis made him immediately understand that something was wrong.At that time, Lin Yanchao of the Longwei Army sent someone to report that according to Zheng Chenggong's order, people were secretly monitored at each gate of the city, and it was indeed found that someone sneaked into the city from outside the city last night.The man walked around the city a few times, and finally entered the courtyard where Chang Yongnian, the inspection department, lived.

Before leaving, King Chen strictly ordered the city to be closed and not allowed to enter or leave. There must be a problem with Chang Yongnian.Zheng Chenggong immediately suggested to control it first.

But after Huang Daozhou thought about it, he said that it is not appropriate to act rashly.First, arresting people rashly may force Chang Yongnian's remnant party to mobilize ahead of time, and the city has no precautionary measures yet.Second, if Chang Yongnian surrendered to the enemy, then the emperor's death must have been known to the captive army, and we should find a way to catch all these Jian captives before we can continue to block the news.

For this team of Jianlu, Zheng Chenggong had long wanted to use his tricks to lure the enemy into ambush, so he greatly agreed.It's just that I don't know which soldiers are also involved, so it's hard to mobilize troops.

Huang Daozhou also secretly contacted Jiang Zhengxi, and he selected 300 reliable soldiers, plus the [-] people stationed in Changting before, as the main force of the ambush.

Zheng Chenggong was still worried that the number of ambushes was not enough, so he planned to use fake cannons to disrupt the enemy's morale, and then use the most powerful dragon guards to go around outside the city, and enter the city from behind the Jianlu, making it impossible to take care of both the head and the tail.

The final results proved that this plan was extremely successful, and it took only half an hour to defeat the captive army, and not a single bandit was escaped.

"A total of 280 captives were captured in the battle last night, 210 were captured alive, and the vanguard of the captive army, Lazhang Jingnu Mountain, was killed, and two of his subordinates were killed. 71 of our troops were killed and 62 were injured." Chang Ting Ma Yuan, the general judge, glanced at the list in his hand, and continued, "More than 460 military horses, 510 hard bows, [-] sabers..."

Huang Daozhou just nodded his head expressionlessly. Although this was a great victory, many enemies were killed and many were captured, he couldn't be happy anyway.If it weren't for Zheng Chenggong's keen mind to notice that Chang Yongnian was different, the ones who counted the military exploits and trophies at this time would probably be the captives.

In addition, after last night's toss, Jiang Zongbing, who was seriously injured, passed out again, and the queen and prince were also a little frightened.

At Ma Tongpan's home in the west of the city, Empress Zeng listened to Bai Daqi's report of last night's battle in horror.

"...The bandit army fought stubbornly in a corner, and fired at our ambush soldiers. The captive bow shot hard, and our army suffered a lot of casualties at the beginning...

"The general surnamed Hou Guo led two hundred dragon guards to enter behind the enemy. The bandit army was attacked by the enemy, and there was chaos..."

Empress Zeng frowned and nodded, "The general of the country is a good planner. If it weren't for him, it would be difficult for Changting to resist with the strength of the captive soldiers." She sighed and said, "But I am confused. The confinement... If it hadn't been for Mr. Huang Ge's mediation in time, it may have been a big mistake at this time."

She then ordered Bai Daqi: "Go and invite the general with the surname of the country to come. I will comfort and praise him as a pillar of the country."

Eunuch Bai hurriedly bowed to accept the order, "Your slave obeys Yi's order."

When Empress Zeng saw him go out, she suddenly remembered that King Chen had asserted earlier that Zheng Sen was a loyal minister, not the same as his father.Now that I think about it, I know that he has extraordinary insight and foresight, if he hadn't left Zheng Sen and two hundred fine riders to help guard Changting, not only the city fell, but even she and the crown prince would have been killed!
She looked at the sleeping baby, and felt a bit of fear in her heart. If the only blood of the Holy Majesty had something wrong with her, how would she face the Holy Majesty under the nine springs...

three days ago.

After Zhu Linmi led the team to leave Changting City, she first divided a company of hussars into more than a dozen scout squads, and searched carefully along all the roads that could go northward at the fastest speed, and reported back immediately if she found any traces of Jianlu.

If you can't find them, you will rush to the junction of Tingzhou and Yanping. There are Jiulong River and Tieshi Mountain, so there are only a few roads for passing. If you stay here, you will be able to wait until Longwu's captive army is killed.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch who escorted Jiang Zhengxi back to Changting, he rushed to the place where Long Wu was killed dozens of miles away.

This is a river beach full of weeds, and two damaged carriages can be seen from a long distance away. When they get closer, they find that there are still several corpses scattered nearby.

The soldiers quickly collected the corpses. From the costumes, it could be seen that there were two eunuchs and three guards, all of whom were killed by dozens of arrows, but they could not find Longwu's remains.

Suddenly a soldier shouted in the distance: "Come help, this man is still angry!"

Zhu Linmi hurriedly jumped off the horse when she heard the words, and saw a few soldiers dragging a man out of the river. The man's hand was caught by the rubble on the bank, and fortunately he did not sink to the bottom of the river.

When the soldier wiped off the mud and blood on the man's face, Zhu Linmi was taken aback for a moment, and then she leaned over and called, "Eunuch Pang!" It turned out to be Pang Tianshou, Longwu's personal eunuch.

The soldiers hurriedly bandaged Pang Tianshou's wound and poured water again. After a while, he slowly opened his eyes. When he saw King Chen, he couldn't help crying and his lips closed slightly.

Zhu Lin kept her ear close to his mouth, only to hear the eunuch tremblingly saying: "The emperor... was murdered by a thief... This old slave must hear the thief's words..." He took a deep breath, "He went to Jianning... "

Zhu Linmi left behind ten soldiers and the young eunuch, and asked them to bring the remains of Pang Tianshou and Sheng Shang back to Changting City.

The Jianlu cavalry was basically in line with his expectations, and they indeed went north to Jianning.He flew on his horse and said in a loud voice, "Go northward at gallop and chase the captives!"

"Yes!"
