In fact, Chang Yu had no intention of recruiting Kong Youde at the beginning. Because of his bravery, he wanted to provoke him with words and kill him, but unexpectedly he saw that he was interested, so he also had the intention to surrender. To be precise, Chang Yu had no intention of recruiting Kong Youde.
Recruit first and then kill.
But Kong Youde could see clearly that no matter how big-hearted the Ming court was, they would not tolerate him and the other two Shun Wangs. After all, they had dealt a huge blow to the Ming Dynasty when they rebelled, and their losses were unprecedented. They had been willing to serve as Manchus for so many years.
The executioner has made great contributions, and the Ming Dynasty is eager to eat his flesh, how can he accept his surrender?
Seeing that Kong Youde's attempt was foiled, Chang Yu also became violent and slashed at him with his knife. With his youthful strength, he even made Kong Youde gasp for breath.
Many people will ask, why can't Chang Yu defeat Kong Youde even though he is considered a battle-hardened person?
That's really underestimating Kong Youde. This guy started out as a tough soldier and got to where he is today step by step. Although he is not as good as Chang Yu in terms of physical strength, he is really rich in battlefield fighting experience. Chang Yu wants to win it in a short time.
It's very difficult, unless you have the magical power of Tu Yuan or Hao Yaoqi, you can smash it hard!
Kong Youde was extremely shocked at this moment. He didn't expect that the fanged face in front of him could be so powerful. He had used all his decades of fighting skills in turn but failed to hurt a single hair on his body. This eunuch turned out to be the real deal.
This guy, and his physical strength is surprisingly good, he could fight for a long time without losing his breath, and then he shouted to persuade him to surrender.
How could the Ming Dynasty have such a character? Not only he can use his troops like a god, but he is also a fierce general who rushes into battle. Ordinary military generals are no match for him. How terrible!
As a result, I gradually felt fear in my heart, and also had the intention to retreat, but now I was tightly entangled by the little eunuch and wanted to leave, but it was not that easy.
"Kong Youde, even if you don't surrender, won't you leave yourself a way out?" Chang Yu shouted as he forced Kong Youde back with several cuts.
Kong Youde was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"
"You've been living in vain for so many years, haven't you?" Chang Yu raised his knife and cursed: "You have to think about how sure you are that Dorgon can come out of seclusion safely this time!"
Kong Youde's face turned dark immediately. If the Ming army did not care about the cost, the Qing army would be in danger. Even if they could force their way through with their invincible cavalry, they would still suffer a lot of damage, and they would not be able to take away the baggage!
Is it just that the Ming army will intercept them at all costs? You must know that the Ming court does not have much capital now. If they are all disabled at once, the consequences will be disastrous!
"The governor has set up a line of defense on the Shandong border, the second line in Tianjin, and the third line in the capital. He has already informed Ningyuan Wu Sangui to send troops to block your retreat. This is the fourth line. Ask yourself whether Dorgon can break through the four lines with this army.
How many are left behind the defense line?" Chang Yu roared in earnest.
Sure enough, these words made Kong Youde's face change drastically: "You..." The knife in his hand also stopped. At that moment, Chang Yu really wanted to take the opportunity to chop it, but he held it back. He suddenly thought that if Kong Youde had a child...
Abacus, it might be useful to keep him.
"How do I know the truth and lies in your words? If you lie to me..." Kong Youde hesitated a little, but Chang Yu interrupted him with a sneer: "I am not trying to persuade you to surrender at this time, or to lie to you. I am just asking you to do it."
Leave a way out for yourself, it may save your life at the critical moment!"
"Tell me, what are the conditions!" Kong Youde was still moved. Since this was the case, he asked directly for the price without any pretense!
Showing some sincerity before making a deal, Chang Yu sneered and glanced around, his eyes stopped at Hao Yaoqi, and saw that he was chasing and killing a Qing general, so he raised his hand and pointed: "Leave the Qing general and the governor!
"
"Impossible" Kong Youde snorted: "If I lose this battle, I will at most be reprimanded, but if that man is captured, Dorgon will never spare me!"
Chang Yu could hear two key points in one sentence. First, the status of the Qing general was not low, and second, Kong Youde was guilty of a crime.
"In that case, I won't make it difficult for you, Governor." Chang Yu chuckled and said, "Leave half of your troops with me!"
"No," Kong Youde gritted his teeth: "How could Dorgon let me go after losing more than a thousand dollars and going back? Dog eunuch, are you trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
Damn it, Chang Yu was furious: "You are not sincere in your repeated excuses. Why should I talk nonsense with you? If you don't give me half of your troops and horses, let me take it for myself." As he said this, he slashed at Kong Youde with his long knife.
.
"The dog eunuch is so hard-pressed that he still has the nerve to talk about sincerity. Why don't you give me sincerity?" Kong Youde hurriedly parried and scolded him.
While the two were talking, the battle situation was changing. However, no matter how it changed, the Ming army maintained high morale from beginning to end and maintained a steady pressure on the Qing army. The important reason for this was the contribution of hundreds of heavy armored soldiers.
The Qing army's three thousand soldiers and horses had been divided into three blocks at this time. Jia Waixiong led his troops to fight with hundreds of Qing troops in the dry river. Hao Yaoqi led the main force to attack Lao Jiu on the east flank and attacked from the east flank.
Your general is entangled, but Song Luoshu led more than 300 soldiers and horses to block him from behind, and he is fighting hard. He is very skilled in martial arts, but not enough in horse fighting. Fortunately, he is also wearing heavy armor, which greatly increases his defense. He wields a long knife in his hand and knocks him down.
He also killed a lot of enemies.
Nikan's hands and feet were cold at this time. When he saw Hao Waiqi, he was defeated by a move. He fled in a hurry, but was stared at by the murderer, who followed him and chased him. Even though his soldiers resisted him without fear of life and death, they could not stop him.
But with the help of his own soldiers, Hao Yaoqi couldn't do anything to him for a while.
But even this was enough to chill him. He looked around and saw that the Qing army was gradually weakening, so he wanted to retreat. Unknowingly, he moved closer to Kong Youde's banner, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of Kong Youde fighting with a ghost-faced fang.
The two soldiers also killed each other so brutally that I couldn't help but take a breath of air in my heart. Could it be that eunuch!
Besides, Chang Yu became ruthless and slashed more than ten times with his sword. Kong Youde was too exhausted to resist, so he quickly shouted for help. The savior of the soldiers around him rushed towards him risking his life, but he was resisted by Chang Yu's soldiers.
, this was also the scene that shocked Kong Youde the most.
He originally had the confidence to dare to approach the battle because he had hundreds of powerful soldiers. However, the young eunuch's soldiers were only a few hundred, but each of them was one of the best in a hundred. Facing hundreds of enemy troops, he had nothing to do.
He was so frightened that he slashed with his sword. When he raised the sword in his hand, he dropped the sword with overwhelming momentum. He actually forced hundreds of Kong Youde's soldiers to death and had no time to rush to help.
"I've given you a way to survive but you have to go all the way to the dark side, so I will help you." Chang Yu shouted with all his strength. Taking advantage of Kong Youde's opportunity, he slashed his armor open with a diagonal slash. Blood spattered everywhere and Kong Youde screamed.
He almost fell off his horse. The soldiers around him rushed at him desperately, but Chang Yu cut him down with several knives. He tried to kill Kong Youde again, but he had already hid in the middle of the soldiers. With his face ashen and gritted teeth, he gasped and glared at Chang Yu: "Dog eunuch,...
This is your sincerity!"
Chang Yu sneered: "I told you not to listen to what nonsense you are talking about. Today, I will take your sacrificial knife first..." Before he could finish his words, Kong Youde sneered and intercepted him: "With your few soldiers and horses, you want to kill me. I dream."
Go for it!”
Hahaha, Chang Yu raised his knife and pointed it: "Why do you need a knife if your words are useful? Today, I will kill you at any cost. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, the road out of the border is a thousand miles away.
I've seen how many times you've been able to hide."
Kong Youde's face darkened, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and swung his sword to fight with the horse. Chang Yu was a little surprised, but he got what he wanted. He swung his sword forward and was about to kill him, but when he was embarrassed, Kong Youde suddenly whispered.
He said, "If I agree, what will you promise me?"
"I can guarantee that you won't die before you leave the seclusion!" Chang Yu sneered, making a few false blows to him: "But whenever you go out to fight, you can only lose, not win!"
Kong Youde smiled bitterly: "You are trying to force me to death!"
"That will happen in the future. If you don't respond, you will die today!"
Kong Youde snorted coldly: "Don't scare me. I won't fall for your tricks. If we continue to fight hard today, I don't know who will die!"
Chang Yu Jiejie sneered: "You will know after you try it. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Kong Youde's beard was about to become bristle. How could a young man with such an angry temper threaten to face life and death if he disagreed? Aren't negotiations like this all done with words? Why don't you give him some general knowledge? So he snorted: "I'll do it today."
Well, if you dare to go back on your word, you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"A man's words are hard to follow. I am a time-honored and trustworthy brand with a golden brand, so you are not the only one doing business with me. Don't worry." Chang Yu seemed to say something carelessly, and Kong Youde suddenly became excited when he heard it: "You mean...
"
Hey hey hey, Chang Yu narrowed his eyes: "If not, how do you think the governor could so easily defeat your army of more than 100,000 people in Ningyuan! How do you think you guys rushed over like that in Xianghe..."
The truth and lies made Kong Youde look stunned, and then he broke into cold sweat... It was so scary, who was this person? Could it be... The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and the more frightened I became when I looked at the little eunuch's grimace.
Observing his words and emotions, Chang Yu knew that a good show was about to take place.
Kong Youde is Dorgon's man, and Hauge is Dorgon's mortal enemy. Although I don't know if Kong Youde suspects Hauge, he will suspect it sooner or later. Once he collects some clues, the two forces will fight and let him
By wasting energy internally and having no time for external affairs, Ming Dynasty can take a breather and organize the housework.
The best way to break up an opponent is to let them fight among themselves. Killing Kong Youde is not a big loss for the Manchus, but keeping him will have an unpredictable effect.
