Yue Le led the army to cut off its tail to survive. The tail that was cut off was the 6,008-banner Han army led by Zerun, the true ancestor of Gushan'e, and Zepei, the ancestor of Meilezhangjing.
Originally, he wanted to cut off the Green Battalion of General Cheng Fuliang, but he was very suspicious of the Green Battalion's loyalty and was afraid of leaving them in Yizhou to block the Ming army.
He became the guide of the Ming army. After much deliberation, he could only send the Eight Banners and Han troops to stay. The Eight Banners and Han troops were also Eight Banners and should have the consciousness to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty.
By the Yellow River, after the Battle of Sanyi Town, Zu Zerun's mood could not be calm. Li Mingzhong's loud shout: "The ancestors of Liaodong have been famous generals for generations. Do you really want to be buried as a sacrifice for Yi Di dogs and sheep?" It stayed in my heart for a long time.
Bang. Back then, the late emperor built a merit arch for my ancestors in Ningyuan to suppress Liao for four generations. Do you really want to work hard for the Tatars, even at the expense of your life?
Unwilling to be reconciled, he called in his brother Zu Zepei. Although his official position was higher than that of his brother, he lost most of his troops and horses, leaving only 1,500 remnants, while Zu Zepei had 4,500 men.
Without convincing Zu Zepei, it would be impossible to bring Yizhou back to the Ming Dynasty.
The character of a soldier is straightforward, "Brother, I want to lead the army back to the Ming Dynasty, what should I do?"
Zu Zepei remained calm, his face as calm as water, "Brother Run has been depressed recently. Did he finally say what was in his heart today?"
Zu Zerun stared at Zu Zepei, "My ancestors from Liaodong are Han Chinese, and have been favored by the country. I had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty that day. How can I really be a Hulu eagle and dog? How will I meet my ancestors a hundred years later?"

"If Brother Run returns to the Ming Dynasty, will he ever think about his clansmen in Beijing?"
"This~"
Zu Zerun was speechless for a moment, and after a long time he said: "Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides."
"Brother Run, you are a man, go ahead and do what you want to do, and I will never stop you."
"Brother, what about you? Aren't you going to return to the Ming Dynasty with me?"
Zu Zepei smiled bitterly and said: "There are so many people in the Zu family, and there are loyalties and traitors. If you are a loyal minister, you will be a traitor. I must die fighting for the Tatars in Yizhou, so that I can save the lives of my people in Beijing!"<
/p>
"Brother", Zu Zerun felt sad in his heart and shed tears in his eyes.
"Don't cry, we, the ancestors of Liaodong, will not shed tears if we bleed," Zu Zepei shouted.

Zhu Hengjia's army arrived, covering the sky and the sun, and came in overwhelming numbers. Veterans of hundreds of thousands of battles, there was a murderous atmosphere as they marched. The army formation was strict, and even the footsteps were extremely consistent.
At the top of the city of Yizhou, the sparrows were silent, and the soldiers guarding the city all showed fear in their eyes.
Zu Zepei nodded repeatedly and smiled at Zu Zerun: "It is said that the northerners are brave and the southerners are weak. I don't think the southerners can be so strong! This Emperor Guangwu has some tricks!"
"Walking in the wind and snow, we marched north to the Central Plains. The Huns were not exterminated, so they returned home in shame. The phoenix did not sing, and the Yellow River was not clear. When will there be peace? My heart is long. Life is so short, and the days ahead will be so bitter. Don't wait until you are old and let the sun hang over you.
.Civilization collapsed, what a pity Qilu. Waved in the wind, just dance for the king. A generous man, bloodshed to wash away the national humiliation. Waiting for the enemy, risking life and death. Above the Lin Pavilion, there are twelve jade towers. The heroic spirit is immortal, flying with wings. Winter goes and spring comes,
The trees are full of fragrance. The blood is like a tide and can't stop running. Why not play the harp? It's so magnificent to talk. The capital is near, and it's time to sing for joy??"
In the formation of the Ming army, military songs were heard one after another, and the roars shook the city of Yizhou.
Zu Zepei suddenly changed his color, "What's the name of this song?"
"Brother, it is said that this is "Song of Waves in the Wind" written by Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty after he was drunk."
"The capital city is near, and we can sing for joy," Zu Zepei murmured to himself, "This Emperor Guangwu is so courageous! He actually wanted to capture the city of Beijing in one fell swoop. He is truly a great leader! Well, well, I will die by His Majesty.
Hand, I am also lucky!"
"Brother Run, I will entrust my family to you." After saying this, Zu Zepei stopped looking at Zu Zerun and ordered a thousand cavalry to leave the city.
These thousand people are all elites who have been with him for many years. There is no choice but to sacrifice the lives of these people in order to save the lives of the clan.
"Zepei, the ancestor of the Han army in the Han army with a yellow flag, Meile Zhangjing, is loyal to this for the Qing Dynasty!"
Zu Zepei shouted and galloped away.
In the imperial car, Zhu Hengjia held a telescope and saw something incomprehensible. How could such a small number of people want to defeat my army of 100,000? What kind of bird war was the Qing Dynasty fighting?
There were too few enemies, and Emperor Guangwu was too lazy to deal with them, so he had his own front-line generals to deal with them.
"Strong gun!"
"Set off the fire!"
"Gunshou, shoot!"
"Archer, throw!"
As Yue Guo Gong Yuan Zongdi issued military orders one after another, artillery shells, muskets, and arrows were fired at the Qing army like a torrential rain. Before the Qing cavalry could rush to the front of the military formation, most of them were shot down, and the rest were shot down one after another.
Lin's spear was struck by thorns and fell from the horse.
Zu Zepei's horse was stabbed to death. He dismounted and fought on foot. As soon as he cut off several spear heads in the first row, the spears in the second and third rows stabbed him.
"Puff~puff~puff~"
One spear after another penetrated his flesh, and Zu Zepei fell to the ground.
A thousand soldiers were killed in a blink of an eye, and the Ming army's military formation was silent as it slowly advanced towards Yizhou City.
"Cut your hair, change your flag, and open the city gates." Zu Zerun issued a military order and led five thousand soldiers to surrender.
"Falling?"
In the imperial car, Zhu Hengjia became increasingly puzzled. Since he wanted to surrender, why did he fight again just now?
Unable to think clearly, he mounted the Mongolian horse "Lightning" and entered the city majestically.
"The sinner Zu Zerun led five thousand men and surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. Long live our emperor!" Zu Zerun knelt down and worshiped by the roadside.
"Are you from the Liaodong ancestral clan? Who was the one who just rushed into battle?"
"The sinner is Zu Zerun, the son of Zu Dashou, the former vanguard general of the Ming Dynasty who conquered Liao Dynasty. The one who rushed into the battle was Zu Zepei, the sinner's elder brother."
"If you are willing to surrender, why do you want to rush into battle?"
"All members of the Zu clan are in Beijing. Brother Cong wants to save the lives of his clan members, so he has to offend His Majesty the Majesty of Heaven."
After hearing this, Zhu Hengjia couldn't help but feel pity and said slowly: "Brother Ru Cong is also a man, you should be buried well!"
??
Yue Le's army arrived at the foot of Feixian County. It was so sudden that Sun Yanling was completely unprepared. Shouldn't the Qing army flee north at this time? Why did they fight back to Feixian County instead?
Xu Shangyuan resisted desperately at the top of the city, but was killed with an ax by the Qing army's second-class general Ashani Hapangunchuk.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Gunchuk laughed loudly, thinking that he was the first to succeed, but when he took a closer look, he found that Shi Tingzhu and Shi Lin had entered the city before him.
How can we not avenge the murder of our son and the hatred of our dead brother? Shi Tingzhu and Shi Lin rushed into the city, killed Liu Yanming and Xu Hongzhen generals, and captured Sun Yanling alive.
"Traitor, you have harmed my son's life, and I will pay with your life today." Shi Tingzhu was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred.
Sun Yanling was a bachelor, so she closed her eyes and said nothing.
"It's too cheap to kill this guy directly. Come on, take off this guy's clothes, give me a real knife on his forehead, and slowly chop him up."
Sun Yanling finally showed a look of fear and struggled desperately, but it was useless. After a while, she was stripped naked.
"Da~da~da~, hoo!"
Yue Le arrived, "Uh-huh, what are you doing?"
"This man killed my son, I will chop him into pieces with one knife."
"It's too late. The Ming army will arrive soon. Kill him quickly and evacuate to Jinan."
"Well, let's give this thief a good time." Shi Tingzhu laughed ferociously, holding the knife to cut off the left foot first, then the right foot, then the left hand, and chopped Sun Yanling into eight pieces like chopping wood.
On Yanzi Mountain near Feixian County, three thousand subordinates of Ming Dynasty General Yang Yandi were stationed. He and Sun Yanling defended the surrounding areas of Feixian County, but they did not expect that Sun Yanling would lose the city without a fight.
"In the main town, there are tens of thousands of Qing troops, and our army only has three thousand. Let's defend it according to the mountains." They advised him from left to right.
"This town is stationed in Fei County. How can we allow the Qing rebels to pass through the defense zone without fighting?"
Yang Yandi shouted to his subordinates: "It belongs to a man, so just go down the mountain with me and kill the captives!"
This fierce general is from Leizhou, Guangdong. His nickname is Yang Er. He was once a famous pirate in western Guangdong and was known as King Yang. After joining the Ming Dynasty, he was loyal and made many military exploits.
The current Ming army is very motivated from top to bottom because of the continuous battles and victories. A few thousand people dare to chase tens of thousands of Qing troops. This is different from when the Qing army first entered the pass, when a few hundred people dared to attack tens of thousands.
The human military formation of the Ming Dynasty is the same principle.
Ma Zhixian, the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty, led the 5,000 Green Battalion to break off the attack. He interrogated the prisoners of Sun Yanling's tribe and found out that there were only 3,000 Ming troops on the mountain, so he didn't care.
Yang Yandi came down the mountain and shouted: "Leizhou Yang Er is here". This was an old habit he had developed when he was a pirate. He would sign up for a number in every battle. However, he used to call himself "King Yang". After surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, he guarded the As a rule, I dare not call myself "Yang Wang", so I changed my name to "Yang Er".
After reporting their names, Yang Yandi and his younger brother Yang San led the Ming army to attack the Qing army's rear. Ma Zhixian was stunned. With such a small number of people, instead of guarding the mountain, they took the initiative to attack us?
Caught off guard, the formation was in chaos.
Yang Yandi rushed into Ma Zhixian's army without fear of death, and cut Ma Zhixian in half who was about to escape. The Qing army was defeated, and countless people died.
Yue Le is really angry. A mere partial army dares to offend the might of our army. Do we really think that the soldiers of the Eight Banners are incompetent?
"Send orders to all armies to return and destroy this Ming army first, then go to Jinan."
More than 40,000 Qing troops surrounded 3,000 Ming troops like a tide. Yang Yandi killed dozens of them with his hands, and Yang San fought his way out of the siege.
"Feixian County Chronicle": "On May 16, the fourth year of Guangwu, Yang Yandi, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, attacked and captured Yuele, the king of Anjun, and beheaded Ma Zhixian, the Minister of War, and died for his country."
When the news reached the Ming army camp, Zhu Hengjia was very sad. Yang Yandi had followed him in the north and south for so many years and was so loyal! This man fought bravely and took the lead in every battle. He crossed the Yangtze River and the Yellow River and made many military exploits. When Tancheng was dancing , I even offered him a glass of wine, but I didn’t expect to die for my country today!
He cried sadly: "The flower of heroes withered beside Yanzi Mountain!"
It was decreed that Yang Yandi be posthumously named the uncle of Suixi (Yang Yandi's hometown), and his son Yin was named Zhongxian Colonel; his younger brother Yang San was also promoted to the rank of commander-in-chief and given the name "Zhong".
