As night fell, outside the north gate of Qingzhou, more than ten people including Zhou Yuji, Huang Degong and others waved and shouted. Two miles away, Chang Yu, carrying a helmet and riding a horse with his arms open, led his troops in triumph and marched slowly.
Not long after, Zhou Yuji and others rode up to greet him: "Congratulations to the Lord Governor on your triumphant return!"
Chang Yu grinned: "It's all thanks to all the brothers, our family is just taking advantage of it."
Everyone thought he was humble, but when they glanced at the soldiers, their expressions suddenly changed. Each one was covered in blood, and many wounded soldiers were supporting each other. The armors of Hao Yaoqi and others were now covered with knife marks. This battle was very tragic!
"I heard that the governor killed more than a thousand enemies, is it true?" Huang Degong came closer and asked quickly... Chang Yu said, "It's still false. The Tatars are not inferior to a thousand people when they confer heads." He pointed back and said, "I don't believe it.
Take a look."
Only then did everyone see clearly that the soldiers had human heads tied under their saddles. The money rat tail was so recognizable that it couldn't be faked, and the little eunuch would not be more disdainful of it.
I beg your darling, this is too exaggerated. Could it be that the factory supervisor encountered a soft-footed shrimp? Huang Degong and others looked horrified. They had heard that they killed more than a thousand enemies before, thinking that many of them were Qing army cannon fodder. No matter what they thought, it was all real.
Qing army soldiers.
"If it were really a soft-footed shrimp, our family wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to lose three hundred brothers." Chang Yu snorted coldly. Huang Degong realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly laughed: "That's, that's, it's the governor."
Today I am showing off my power."
Chang Yu rolled his eyes at him: "Stop flattering, thanks to them, Lao Jia and the others are carrying the banner today." He said to Hao Yaoqi and others: "Enter the city, we will celebrate our achievements tonight without stopping! Everyone is here!"
The soldiers cheered wildly as they marched into the city, and there were cheers both above and below the city! After defending the city and repelling the enemy, another great victory was achieved, which was indeed inspiring.
The celebration banquet was naturally held at Prince Heng's Mansion, and all the generals who participated in the battle were present at the banquet. Prince Heng, Zhu Youji, heard that his illness was mostly cured, and went to the palace to congratulate him personally.
As for the soldiers who participated in the war, King Heng did not treat them lightly. He set up a running banquet outside the palace, provided plenty of food and drinks, and rewarded each soldier with ten taels of silver. The soldiers cheered and praised King Heng for his great kindness.
The Tao is really the Tao! The generals in the Qinggong Palace mingled with each other and ate and drank. In the corner, Chang Yu and Li Yan were making a pot of tea and chatting: "This King Heng is really the Tao!"
Li Yan laughed and almost burst into tears: "The factory supervisor has designated that the celebration banquet be held in the palace. Anyone with any brains will know what your plan is."
Chang Yu shrugged: "This is what our family wants. Isn't it worth it for my soldiers to kill the enemy with blood in exchange for a meal of food and wine and a reward of silver?"
"It's worth it, it's worth it, of course it's worth it, but I'm a little confused. How much the Tatars hate you. They didn't retreat until they lost more than half of their money. And how did you manage to lose several times the Tatars with only three hundred losses?"
Damn it!" Li Yan smiled half-heartedly!
Chang Yu chuckled: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." He put down the teacup in his hand and told the story from beginning to end about persuading Kong Youde to surrender on the battlefield.
Li Yan was dumbfounded, this is okay: "Then Kong Youde agreed?"
Chang Yu coughed lightly and said sternly: "A traitor who forgets his ancestors is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The reason why he compromised is because of the current situation. If he was outside the customs and would not even care about our proposal,
But this place is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles away from the pass, and we threatened him that there would be many obstacles ahead, so this guy got scared..."
Li Yan suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh, otherwise such a veteran would not be able to compromise so easily. But... how did you sing this scene on the battlefield?
Chang Yu laughed, life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills... then he recounted the drama on the battlefield.
When the two armies were fighting, Kong Youde was forced by Chang Yu's coercion and inducement and the situation forced him to leave a way out for himself, at least to ensure his survival before leaving the border. What's more, he heard a huge secret that he was not the only one.
The person who cooperates with the little eunuch!
This strengthened his desire to cooperate, so...
Chang Yu cut off his horse with a sword, and his own soldiers fought to save him and brought him back to the formation. However, when they saw blood pouring from his shoulders, the Ming army shouted that the Tatar general was dead.
The Qing army, which was already at a disadvantage, was immediately frightened. As the situation gradually collapsed, it was about to flee. Unexpectedly, Kong Youde, who was seriously injured at this time, raised his arms and shouted: "Fight to the death with the enemy, and those who retreat will be killed!"
After hearing the order, the Qing army had no choice but to turn around and return to fight. Partly because they had no choice but to fear being beheaded if they retreated, and partly because they were inspired by Kong Youde's bloody nature.
However, the strength of the Ming army was as strong as a huge wave crashing on the shore. How could these defeated soldiers turn around and block this huge wave? In the blink of an eye, the people who were killed were turned upside down, with little power to parry. In this case, no matter how hard they counterattack, it would be impossible.
It's all in vain, the best way is to take action!
However, the commander-in-chief Kong Youde seemed to have gone crazy. He killed several deserters with his own hands and strictly ordered all the troops not to retreat. They must fight to the death with the Ming army, display the momentum of the Qing cavalry, and regain their dignity!
Under strict orders, the Qing army fought bravely, but the Ming army rolled in like a torrent, scattering countless flesh and blood bodies under the huge waves.
In addition to the high morale of the Ming army, heavy armor once again played a key role in winning the battle. If there was a large-scale killing of tens of thousands of people, hundreds of heavy armor might not have much effect, but a mere few thousand
In a small scene, hundreds of heavy armors rushed forward and quickly scattered the Qing army into pieces. The Ming army was surrounded and attacked in pieces. Although the Qing army was strong in individual combat, a good man could not win with two fists, let alone two fists.
When he heard that his master was about to die, he had no intention of fighting anymore.
This fight was evenly matched at the beginning, then the Ming army gradually gained the upper hand, and in the end the Qing army was only able to protect itself, and then when Kong Youde was unable to pay the price and wanted to fight to the death, the Qing army just put up a fight and the situation turned into a massacre!
However, the funny thing is that Nikan, as one of the generals, did not feel that Kong was virtuous. Instead, he was inspired by his bloody nature. He raised his arms and shouted to kill the enemy and avenge him. He was brutally tortured by Hao Yaoqi, and he had already lost it in his rage.
Without reason, how can a majestic Qing Dynasty cavalry be beaten so cruelly? I don’t accept it! We must avenge our shame and wash away our shame with blood!
So he was determined to fight the Ming army to the death at all costs, and let's see who stood in the end!
It is undeniable that there are many soldiers in the Qing army who have the same thoughts as him, but most of the soldiers have been shattered and have no intention of fighting anymore. They just want to escape quickly.
When Kong Youde was cut off from his horse by Chang Yu again, Nikan was also shot off by Hao Yaoqi. He was so frightened that he saw the reality clearly. If the fight continued, the whole army would be annihilated, so the two of them shouted in unison.
Phew, retreat!
If the Qing army encountered a general amnesty, they would run away with their heads in their hands.
After chasing for two miles, the Ming army returned to the battlefield and returned in triumph without leaving any survivors alive!
"Cruel! This Kong Youde is so cruel!" After hearing this, everyone changed their expressions. In order to save their own lives, they actually gave away the lives of more than a thousand soldiers! "This is not a fucking thing" Huang Degong cursed!
"If he was just a toy, he wouldn't have defected and become a dog for the Tatars." Zhou Yuji snorted.
Everyone started shouting and yelled that Kong Youde was not a human being.
"The game of chess played by the governor is huge. Once the two scourges sprout and the Manchu and Qing Dynasties fall into internal fighting, our Ming Dynasty can also take a breath! If those two buds grow strong and bloom, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will be afraid
Even if it collapses without attacking, our Ming Dynasty will also lose a powerful enemy. Once it recovers, we can take care of him!"
At this time, Li Yan admired the little eunuch so much that he was in awe, but only a few people could understand his words, such as Tu Yuan, Hao Yaoqi and others. They were all confused as to what they were talking about.
Huang Degong didn't understand either, but he didn't care either. He was still yelling at Kong Youde: "This guy is cruel and ruthless, but he suffered heavy losses in this battle. Dorgon will not spare him! Maybe he will be killed directly..."
"But not necessarily." Chang Yu smiled slightly, and Li Yan and Li Muxian also nodded: "Maybe it will be a great achievement..."
"Remember him for his great merits?" Huang Degong shouted: "Is Dorgon stupid to still remember his great merits even after giving away more than a thousand lives?"
"I can't say for sure, maybe Dorgon is just a fool." Li Muxian chuckled, and everyone agreed. Huang Degong rolled his eyes and stamped his feet: "I think you are all stupid." He turned around and walked to the wine table carrying a bottle of wine.
Hujiu: "I'm going out to admire the moon, can we go together?"
"I, I, I, I..." Tu Yuan, Jia Waixiong and others stood up and looked at Chang Yu.
"Look at what our family does. If you want to go, you can go."
