The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 559
Jiangyou was far away from Zengjiashan, and the news of the death of Emperor Daxi had just come in at this time, so the situation was not too chaotic.

Liu Wenxiu learned from the previous experience and lessons, first dispersed his own soldiers into the Jiangyou garrison, and strictly ordered those who escaped without mercy to be killed, and only then managed to control the more than 4000 soldiers.

When he led his army out of the city, unexpectedly, most of the people in Jiangyou heard that the Tartar army was about to kill them, and they all followed closely behind his soldiers with their families, wanting to "refuge with the three generals".

Many of these common people had family members of the Jiangyou garrison army, so the soldiers walked slowly deliberately for a while, waiting for their relatives to catch up.

Although Liu Wenxiu was extremely anxious, no matter how much he urged, the team couldn't move faster.

After waiting for a day and a half, he finally arrived more than ten miles away from Jianzhou City, and saw hundreds of refugees running like lost souls.

He pointed to the refugee general and signaled, "Zhou Yan, go and ask what's going on."

After a while, Zhou Yan brought a few refugees over and said anxiously: "Third General, these are the people in Jianzhou City. They said that the captives have already entered the city this morning..."

"What?!" Liu Wenxiu's mind suddenly buzzed when he heard this.Jianzhou City is to the south of Jianmen Pass, and now Jianzhou has fallen into the hands of the Qing army, which means that Jianmen Pass must also be lost... If even the second brother can't stop the captives, then there will be no one in Daxi. Ability to turn the tide...

While he was in a daze, several scouts galloped over and shouted hissingly from two hundred paces away: "Emergency police! The brigade of thieves is approaching!"

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly summoned the horse to ask: "How many enemy troops are there? Where are they now?"

"Back to the three generals, there are more than ten thousand thieves! It's only less than six miles away!"

Zhou Yan glanced at the frightened soldiers at his side, and cupped his hands to Liu Wenxiu, "General, our army's morale is low. I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight with the enemy outnumbered. Why don't you," he lowered his voice, "Why don't you surrender?" ..."

"Bastard!" Liu Wenxiu lashed him with a horsewhip, "How can I beg for surrender from the Tartars when I am a dignified son of China! If I dare to say such a thing, I will definitely be executed!"

Another officer said: "Three generals, the enemy army is powerful, we'd better go to Baoning and join Her Highness the Queen first, and then make plans."

Liu Wenxiu looked back at the more than [-] Jiangyou people behind him, and heaved a sigh of relief, "Let's go, these people will be slaughtered by captives..."

He then drew out his saber, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Form the formation, prepare to meet the enemy!" He also ordered Zhou Yan, "Take your troops and evacuate the people as much as possible."

"This... the last general, obey the order..."

When Liu Wenxiu's men and horses were able to set up their positions, they saw the black army of Jianlu rushing towards them.The Great Western Army was already small in number, and with low morale, hundreds of people lost their weapons and tried to escape.

With a saber in hand, Liu Wenxiu personally led people to kill dozens of deserters, and then stabilized the situation again, but she couldn't help but lament in her heart, this is probably where I, Zhang Wenxiu, was buried. There are no less than a hundred soldiers and soldiers, and this last battle is so useless...

The sound of drums on the opposite side showed that the Qing army was impatient to win the military exploits of the four thousand Western soldiers.

Liu Wenxiu stared at the blood-red eyes, and pointed forward with his saber, "Send the order, beat the drums! The whole army goes straight to the enemy's formation!"

He also declared his will to die, put on the saddle to urge the horse, and led his confidants to the front of the team, and the soldiers behind him were encouraged by him, and they all braved up to follow.

To say that Liu Wenxiu is worthy of being one of Zhang Xianzhong's four tiger generals, he faced twice as many enemy troops, with a sky full of bullets and arrows cutting into the middle of the Qing army's battle formation like a sharp knife.With the saber in his hand, he slashed left and right, and with [-] soldiers, he killed Jianlu's swordsman and spearman in the front row. into a river.

However, the Jiangyou soldiers he brought were far less brave than him.The two armies were separated by a hundred steps, and two rounds of firecrackers were fired in the Jianlu formation, and chaos began to appear in the Daxi army.Afterwards, Du Lei ordered Xiao Rao to charge several times from the side, and the left wing of the Western Army collapsed.

Affected by the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death, the morale of Liu Wenxiu's soldiers was already very low. The rout of the left wing immediately spread throughout the army, and everyone shouted, "Defeated!"

"The emperor is gone, why fight, run away..."

"Run, it's too late!"

These thousands of people hardly fought, and they turned and fled one after another.

Liu Wenxiu was on the verge of killing, but he heard the soldiers beside him yelling urgently: "General, our army can't stand it anymore! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

He hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw that his left wing had completely collapsed, and the Chinese army had begun to retreat, while the Qing army, which had no frontal pressure, was surrounding him.

"God doesn't help me..." He sighed, had no choice but to turn his horse's head, and led his men to charge outside the enemy's formation.

When he rushed out of the Dulei battle formation, his blood was already soaked through his heavy clothes, and there were only about thirty personal soldiers around him.

"General, look!" A soldier suddenly pointed to the south and shouted, "It seems that there is a large group of people coming from behind!"

"Could it be the second brother?!"

Liu Wenxiu just had a flame of hope ignited in his heart, but an officer brought a few horses and galloped towards him with the flag.

When the man came close, he cupped his hands with a pale face and said, "General, there are Ming troops who have outflanked you..."

Ming army?Liu Wenxiu felt ashamed all of a sudden, a wolf had entered the front door and a tiger had entered the back door, but now he couldn't even walk.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to the soldiers beside him: "Bring me the rope. Bind me and hand me over to the Ming army, and beg them to protect the people of Jiangyou from leaving because they are all Han Chinese..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard bursts of cheers coming from behind him, and he couldn't help being greatly surprised.Not long after, Zhou Yan rushed over and said happily, "Three generals, those Ming troops separated their formations and let us go there first, and they also said that they would block the captives!"

"The Ming army wants to save us?" Liu Wenxiu asked again, and when Zhou Yan answered in the affirmative, she couldn't help feeling very puzzled.

However, the Qing army shouted for killing soon came from behind him, and before he had time to think about it, he ordered Zhou Yan, "Send an order to retreat temporarily. By the way, we must gather the people and don't teach them to disturb the army formation."

"The end will obey orders!"

The Great Western Army was defeated extremely quickly, and when Liu Wenxiu saw the Ming army that was pruning their ranks and holding white spears, his troops had already run two miles to the south.

A burly general of the Ming army in silver armor saw his general flag, rode his horse and walked over, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "You are Zhang Wenxiu, right? Ah, I Qin Zuoming, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Because Liu Wenxiu was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, he also changed his surname to Zhang.

He looked at the person in front of him in surprise, cupped his hands, and said, "You are Qin Zuoming? Why did you come to Jianzhou? Why did you save me?"
