Tianxiong's army was immediately surrounded and divided into several sections by the Qing army. Lu Xiangsheng also participated in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army together with his soldiers. Lu Xiangsheng was an anomaly among the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. He was proficient in battlefield skills and physically strong.
, is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are already more than a dozen Qing soldiers killed by him today. However, it is difficult for a single tiger to fight against a group of wolves, and the troops around Lu Xiangsheng are getting fewer and fewer, and now there are only about a hundred people left.
"Master! The Tatars are coming again." The captain of the soldiers beside him reminded Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at his servant captain, and then looked around at the soldiers around him. These soldiers all had sallow faces and had been hungry for several days.
They all abandoned their usual heavy weapons and replaced them with lighter weapons such as swords and guns.
Lu Xiangsheng sighed deeply in his heart and said calmly: "Guan Yu has beheaded and Ma Yuan has wrapped his body, now!" Then he shouted and rushed over first.
Lu Xiangsheng's figure of charging on horseback is quite impassioned, but he is a minister of the Ming Dynasty who oversees the world's troops! Now he has to fight with the Qing soldiers with a sword and shield. That figure is also so pathetic,
How tragic and lonely!...
On December 11, the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Tianxiong army fought alone. Commander Lu Xiangsheng also rushed into the formation with his sword, killing more than ten enemies. In the end, he was hit by two arrows and two knives, and fell off his horse and died. At that time, he was only 10 years old.
Thirty-nine years old. Lu Xiangsheng died generously and heroically, and was praised by the world, but his sacrifice did not have any impact on the entire war situation. Even in the original history, the Qing Dynasty’s history books did not regard the Battle of Jiazhuang as a
An important battle was fought. No records were made.
With the death of Governor Lu Xiangsheng in the battle, Yang Guozhu led his soldiers to flee in panic. In the end, less than a thousand soldiers were gathered together. The Tianxiong Army founded by Lu Xiangsheng was also completely wiped out in this battle.
Comparatively speaking, the Qing army suffered less than 200 casualties in this battle. This shows the huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Of course, the food shortage of Gao Qiqian also played an "indispensable" role. This is the first time the author has seen this.
The strange thing about friendly troops cutting off their rations. This late Ming Dynasty is really crazy!
Lu Xiangsheng was a minister with outstanding character and ability in the late Ming Dynasty. However, due to the scholarly atmosphere at the time and Lu Xiangsheng's own ideology, he still had a lot of stains in this entrance battle.
But in the end, Lu Xiangsheng used his own life and blood to wash away all these stains.
However, Lu Xiangsheng, who was already sleeping underground, did not know that there were still people who wanted him to die in peace. This point will not be mentioned for the time being, as it will be discussed in detail later in the article.
Just when Lu Xiangsheng died for his country, Yang Tinglin was still pleading with Gao Qiqian in Gao Qiqian's camp in Shunde Prefecture: "Eunuch Gao! I hope you will lend a helping hand and mobilize troops to support Governor Lu here!"
After asking for help in every possible way to no avail, Yang Tinglin had lowered his conditions to the lowest level. He only hoped that Gao Qiqian would send some troops to rescue Lu Xiangsheng personally. Gao Qiqian was also forced to do nothing by Yang Tinglin, and his lips wriggled a few times.
Just when he was about to agree, he heard a soldier hurriedly running in from outside the tent. As soon as the soldier entered the tent, he knelt down and reported: "Master Supervisor! The scouting horse reported that the entire army of Inspector Lu was defeated and the Tatars had gathered their entire army."
.The siege is coming.”
Everyone in the tent was shocked. Even Gao Qiqian stood up from his chair in shock. He yelled at the top of his voice: "Gather quickly! Governor Lu didn't listen to the advice of the Za family, that's why he did this."
otherwise……"
As soon as he said this, Yang Tinglin on the side rushed up with red eyes. He immediately got entangled with Gao Qiqian. The general in the tent quickly stepped forward to separate the two, but Yang Tinglin was still shouting hysterically.
: "Eunuch! This whole world will die in your hands. You will not have a good death! You will have no descendants!"
Then Yang Tinglin broke free from the general's hand. He pointed at the generals in the tent and yelled: "You are all willing to die without saving me! It's true that there are no strong men in the three armies, and the whole camp is full of eunuchs. I am ashamed to be in the same group as you."
"
"Hahaha——!" Yang Tinglin looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy, then dressed up and said: "Lu Gong, wait for the students, the students are riding alone to accompany you!" After saying that, Yang Tinglin didn't even look up.
He walked out of the big tent, took the guards assigned to him by Lu Xiangsheng, and rushed to the battlefield without looking back.
As Yang Tinglin left, there was silence in the big tent. The generals felt a little ashamed in their hearts. Many of them were red-faced and speechless, and a feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit and a fox also emerged spontaneously.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was quite dull, Gao Qiqian said hoarsely: "Miscellaneous family..., Zajia...!" But he also felt that he couldn't give any explanation. In the end, Gao Qiqian could only change the topic: "
Gather your troops and retreat overnight!"
The defeat of the Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng first caused panic in Gao Qiqian. Facts have proved that he may be a public relations expert, a military theorist and a good general, but he is definitely not a qualified commander.
And at this time, the good luck that Gao Qiqi had always relied on also ran out.
Gao Qiqi, the eunuch of the supervisory army, entered the camp under his command and unceremoniously rejected Lu Xiangsheng's request for help from Yang Tinglin, the counselor in charge. Even the rescue suggestion from the commander-in-chief Zu Kuan was sternly rejected by him. When he got Lu Xiangsheng's request, he
After hearing the news of his death, he immediately broke camp and retreated.
Eunuch Gao's panic was not because of Lu Xiangsheng's death in battle, but because he was panicked because the Manchu army was so close to his side. He was afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Lu Xiangsheng's troops. So tens of thousands of troops hurriedly broke camp and returned.
Withdrawal is already chaotic and prone to chaos, and on the way to withdraw, small groups of troops continue to break up. But at this time, our senior eunuch can no longer care about anything.
This 40,000-strong army had only traveled less than fifteen miles when a Tatar ambush suddenly appeared on the way. They first avoided the battle and then retreated in panic. The morale of the army had long since been lost.
, the whole army was in panic. Suddenly an ambush suddenly appeared, and the whole army was immediately defeated. A total of 40,000 people were immediately dispersed like a plate of loose sand.
Gao Qiqian escaped to Zhending Mansion on horseback alone, and these 40,000 soldiers and horses were all border soldiers of Guan Ning and Xuanda. They can also be regarded as the most elite of the Ming army. From the battle of Marco Polo Bridge to Shunde
Mansion, the entire army had not fought a single battle, had not fired an arrow, and was completely defeated when it encountered the enemy. In disguise, the entire army was annihilated. In fact, the so-called ambush was nothing more than two thousand partial divisions of the Qing army.
The most unlucky among them was the commander-in-chief Wang Pu. When he led his troops to the camp of Gao Qiqian, he thought they would be safe. From now on, he relied on the cabinet bachelor, the Minister of War Yang Sichang and the eunuch Gao
You can rise to great heights just from diving, but you never imagined that you would just come out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den again!
Anyway, Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian's troops have all disappeared with either glory or shame. Now, except for the Jingying and Qinwang troops around the capital, except for Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army and the Runing Army that just arrived in Cangzhou,
There are no more Ming troops in Northern Zhili who can fight in the field.
After the Qing army destroyed the two Ming armies, they immediately joined forces and prepared to encircle and destroy the last Ming army nearby - Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army. However, when Dorgon led his army to the Ruzhou Army, they
During the camp, he was dumbfounded. In just a few days, the Ruzhou Army had built its camp into an earthen city. Yu Zilian was so meticulous in imitating Wu Shigong! He even imitated Wugui Liu.
The whole thing is inseparable.
However, seeing the siege of the Qing army, Yu Zilian also panicked. He sent messengers to all directions overnight to ask for help from the nearby Ming army.
Although the Qing army at this time had exceeded 20,000, and its number was twice that of the Ruzhou army, they came to seize property and population, not to wipe out the Ming army, so Dorgon would never fight for the troops.
With great losses, he stormed the camp of the Ruzhou Army.
So the Qing army first used red cannons, hoping to break the Ruzhou army's earthen city by attacking the city. But the Qing army had artillery, and the Ruzhou army also had artillery. Anyway, who was afraid of the other, they were just bombarding each other. But this
The bombardment made Dorgon flinch again. The artillery of the Qing army was still of great use, and it would be used to attack the Ming Dynasty's cities in the future! I didn't want to lose it in vain in the artillery battle!
Then use the trick of driving the Han people to attack the city! But when Dorgon sent troops to capture the Ming Dynasty people nearby, the harvest was very small. These days, the Qing army is fighting here with the three Ming armies of Lu, Gao and Yu.
, the nearby people had long since fled without a trace.
But Dorgon couldn't besiege the Ruzhou Army for a long time! So the Qing army could only regret it. After gathering all the small groups of Qing troops, they took the initiative to retreat and began the next stage of military operations.
The Ruzhou Army, an army that was almost forgotten by the court, fought on a par with the Qing Army in the process of serving the king, and did not suffer any losses. Although the Qing Army did not pay attention to the good luck of the Ruzhou Army,
But it was not easy to obtain the result. Of course, after the Qing army retreated, the messenger Yu Zilian sent for help could not be chased back.
December 16th, in the Ruzhou Army camp in Hejian Prefecture.
"The Ming Dynasty is going to perish! The sky is going to collapse! The country will not be a country!..." Zhou Junwu went crazy in Wu Shigong's big tent with snot and tears, talking about big cases at one moment, and then bringing up the big cases at the other.
Things were thrown everywhere.
Wu Shigong and Li Lu crossed their arms and watched Zhou Junwu messing around with smiles. They did not step forward to persuade him, but waited for Zhou Junwu to finish venting.
"Brother-in-law! Why is this man like this?" Li Lu asked strangely.
"How do I know? This person has a relationship with me. He was brought back by Erlang who went out to explore, but he looked like this after he came back. We can only ask after he calms down." Wu Shigong replied, "But Li
Brother, what can you do to deal with a madman?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m.
