The painting hall is promoted and lowered by descendants and grandchildren,

The hair is white and the courage is still thick.

If you don’t save time, you will become old.

When I meet everyone, I still say that I will kill the Shanyu.

Seventy-two years old, at this age, he should stay at home, entertain his grandson, and show off his heroic feats to his little grandson. Pi Xiong didn't want to, he insisted on continuing to go to the battlefield, feeling that he was not old at all and could still kill Shanyu.

He led 15,000 Guizhou soldiers to camp north of Shuishan to block Qing reinforcements.

As soon as the old general arrived, he focused on one thing: digging fortifications. Unlike Ma Jinzhong who dug three trenches less than one foot wide, he only dug one trench, which was wide enough to be five feet wide, and the bottom of the trench was covered with sharpened trenches.

wooden sticks, bamboo.

Zhang Yong and Gao Di led 30,000 green soldiers to approach Pixiong's camp.

Zhang Yong ordered: "Nan Yikui, you lead five thousand soldiers and horses to go forward to test. The rest of the troops are hidden in the mountains."

Gao Di was puzzled: "Why didn't the commander directly attack the stronghold, but instead hid the main force in the mountains?"

Zhang Yong snorted coldly: "The Art of War says: what is true is false, and what is false is true."

Nan Yikui's five thousand soldiers and horses rushed to the trench. When they saw that the trench was too wide, they had to dig and fill it.

"Just so many people from the Tatars?"

Pi Xiong smiled disdainfully and ordered shooting. The Qing troops in front of the trench were shot down, and Nan Yikui had to retreat and camp.

"Commander, the general has tested the Ming army. The number of the Ming army is about 15,000, and the fortifications are complete. The trenches are five feet wide, the walls are two feet high, and the guns and artillery are densely packed. It is difficult to fight." Nan Yikui reported to Zhang Yong.

Zhang Yong said: "The Ming army sees that your troops are few and they have just won a victory in the morning, so they will not be careful. They will attack the camp at ugly time tomorrow morning (one o'clock in the morning). They can defeat it with one blow."

"But Commander, the trenches of the Ming army are very wide. The bamboo boards are so long and easy to crack. Filling the trenches is too time-consuming!"

Zhang Yong smiled: "You, you are not smart enough. Such long bamboo poles are easy to crack. Just use wooden boards. There are so many big trees on the mountain. If you cut the wood into boards, you can jump into the trenches in just a moment. If you build more bamboo ladders, you can attack the fortress."

I expect this village will be defeated."

"Kuang Guogong, the Qing army has arrived, we must prevent them from robbing the camp at night," the general Li Zhihua said to Pi Xiong.

"Hmph, there are only thousands of enemies, so why are we afraid of hijacking the camp?" Pi Xiong laughed loudly. He was deceived by Zhang Yong's trick of hiding troops in the mountains. He really thought that there were only a few thousand Qing troops on the opposite side.

After all, Pi Xiong was a veteran, so he used his troops cautiously. After some thought, he ordered the deployment of double sentries.

The next day when it was ugly, the sky was still dark. Team after team of Qing troops came out of the mountains, carrying wooden planks and bamboo ladders. They quietly lowered the big wooden planks and set them up on the ditch. The soldiers stepped on the planks to cross the ditch.

.

"Who?"

Pixiong set up double sentries. With so many Qing troops crossing the ditch, it was impossible that they could not detect them.

"Enemy attack", "enemy attack"??

Chou hour is the hour when people sleep most soundly. Most of the Ming army is still in their dreams. They won easily for a while in the morning. The Ming army was a little slack from top to bottom and slept very hard. The sentries kept sounding alarms, and the Ming army

Only in twos and threes did they leave the tent and go to the stronghold.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh??"

After crossing the trench, the Qing army's archers immediately fired rockets at the Ming army's camp.

Zhang Yong was a general. He discovered that the materials for the Ming army's camp were cut down pine trees. The pine trees themselves are relatively dry, and their branches and leaves also contain a lot of rosin, which is easy to burn when exposed to fire. Unfortunately, it is a warm winter these days and there is no snow.

, the fire suddenly started.

Pi Xiong ordered his men to put out the fire and defend the stronghold, and couldn't help but rush.

Zhang Yong smiled as he watched his men attack the stronghold. Among the hundreds of thousands of green battalion troops of the Qing Dynasty, Gansu and Shaanxi green battalions were known to dare to fight. Nan Yikui, Zhao Guangrui, Tong Tou, and Wang Jinbao all shouted "Aoao" and personally

Attack the stronghold.

Not wanting to be outdone by the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps, Gao Di also led 10,000 Henan Green Camps to attack the stronghold. In fact, he was also from Shaanxi, and fundamentally speaking, he was also from the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps. He was just sent to pacify the Central Plains, and he was good at recruiting surrenders.

In one fell swoop, fifty-one state capitals including Kaifeng and Nanyang were surrendered.

"Fell into the trap of the Tatars!"

Pi Xiong secretly hates that these Tatars are so cunning. There are not only thousands but tens of thousands of them. They must have been hiding in the mountains to confuse me.

"Kill!"

He cut down a Qing general and met Gao Di ascending the stronghold.

"The Ming army is over, why don't the old generals surrender to the Qing Dynasty? I guarantee that your title and official position will not be demoted." Gao Di was an official who relied on recruitment to surrender and accepted rebels for promotion, but he wanted to repeat his old plan and persuade Pi Xiong to surrender.

"Oh, can you guarantee it? Who are you?"

Pixiong looked surprised, secretly took a few steps forward, and asked with a smile.

"I am the Prince's Shaobao, and I am the commander-in-chief of Henan Province. Ah!"

With a scream, "swish, swish, swish", the cold light of six o'clock penetrated his throat and chin.

Pixiong is old, but he still dares to fight in battle. Naturally, he has his unique skill, which is: "Sleeve Arrow". When he was the deputy general of Guizhou, he saw that the mountain people often used this item for self-defense. The arrow was seven inches long and the arrowhead was one inch long.

, hidden in a special quiver in his sleeve, which is tied to his arm. When using it, he only needs to press it to trigger the mechanism, spring up, and the arrow can be shot. His sleeve arrows are more advanced than those used by the mountain people, so they are called "

"Plum Blossom Sleeve Arrow" can fire six arrows in a row.

Although this kind of small arrow could only shoot thirty steps, it was hidden in the shirt and was extremely difficult to detect. Pi Xiong fired six arrows in a row again. How could Gao Di avoid it? He lost his life in a daze.

"You are not a good man if you hurt someone with an arrow in the back??"

Gaudi murmured something and fell silent.

Wang Jinbao was furious and swung his knife to kill Pi Xiong. He was Zhang Yong's most powerful general and had excellent martial arts skills.

If Pi Xiong were thirty or forty years younger, he would not be afraid of Wang Jinbao. After all, time is not forgiving, and his hands and feet gradually became soft and he was chopped down by Wang Jinbao.

"It's a pity that you, who are so good at martial arts, turned out to be a traitor," Pi Xiong sighed.

"Hmph", Wang Jinbao laughed ferociously and cut off the bear's head.

The North Village was captured, and the Qing army took advantage of the situation to attack the South Village.

??

"Uncle Wuchang, Duke Kuang Guo died in the battle." Li Zhihua led the defeated troops and cried to Ma Jinzhong.

Ma Jinzhong couldn't care less about his sorrow, and while he organized his troops to defend the stronghold, he flew to Zhu Hengjia for help.

Hearing that the Qing army was coming to the rescue was Zhang Yong, a fierce general from the Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps. Zhu Hengjia knew that his Hexi soldiers were very tough and difficult to fight, so he asked the generals: "Which general is going to help General Ma Jinzhong?"

"I will go there in the end," two voices said in unison.

Zhu Hengjia was delighted when he saw it. The ones who spoke were two young generals, both named Li, Li Yuanyin and Li Laiheng.

These two generals are both young, only in their twenties, and Zhang Yong is a veteran.

Zhu Hengjia felt that young people are energetic and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so he could let them try. But he said angrily: "No, no, you two are too young, no match for Zhang Yong!"

Upon hearing this, the two young generals were so angry that their handsome faces turned red. They knelt down and asked for a fight: "The two of us are willing to issue a military order. If Zhang Yong is not defeated, we will not survive!"

"Okay! Gu will give you two 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend Nanzhai for Gu. No Qing reinforcements will be allowed to enter Shuishan!"

"The last general takes command!"
