Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 568

There were women's terrified screams in the camp.

Zhang Dingguo, who was patrolling the camp with his helmet on, changed his expression greatly. The voice came from the imperial tent, and it seemed to be the queen's voice.

As soon as he heard that there were police at Lao Wansui, Zhang Dingguo rushed over with his troops.

He was still guessing what happened on the way, but he didn't suspect it was a Tartar assassin. After all, Dingjun Mountain was besieged, but there were still more than 3 Western Army soldiers on the mountain.

Could it be that the old man is killing the queen again?

Emperor Zhang Xianzhong didn't last long, but he had four queens, but the first three were killed by Lao Wansui not long after.As for the concubines and concubines who were robbed, there were countless of them, but few of them really liked him.

When he proclaimed himself emperor, he felt that the robbed concubines were not of high status, and wanted to find a noble and well-known daughter of a famous family to be the queen. Yan Ximing, the prime minister of the left who was demoted from an official position, offered advice to flatter Zhang Xianzhong, saying that folk women were not enough. She is worthy of holiness, and the Chen family has a woman who is both talented, virtuous and beautiful, and can be married as a queen.

The Chen family mentioned by this person is actually the daughter of Chen Yan, a scholar of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

After Chen Yan broke into the army and entered Beijing, he was tortured and forced to pay 300 taels of gold and 4 taels of silver to get his life back. However, Li Zicheng was still killed when he was defeated and left Beijing.

His hometown is Jingyan, Leshan, Sichuan, which is not far from Chengdu. In order to please Zhang Xianzhong, Yan Ximing sold his fellow villager Chen Yan's daughter.Yan Huan personally led the troops to Jingyan to take the Chen family to Chengdu. He suggested that Zhang Xianzhong hold a grand ceremony of conferring the queen.

In the end, Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully, why does the empress need to pay attention to it, as long as she is happy with my ball head, she is a queen, what's the use of asking for a lot of courtesy? "

In this way, the daughter of a university scholar was taken captive.If it weren't for the fact that the ministers felt that it would be a shame if the queen was not formally conferred, they reluctantly agreed to hold a beautiful ceremony. From five miles away from the south gate of Chengdu, a colorful road was built to the West Prince's Mansion. , blurred and dazzling.

He even made Chen's elder brother an uncle of the country and a bachelor of Hanlin.

But how could the Chen family accept the vulgar old Long live Zhang Xianzhong?No matter how beautiful the etiquette is, it can't please her, so Zhang Xianzhong has no choice but to fight hard.

On the ninth day after the wedding, when Mrs. Chen refused to serve the bed again, Zhang Xianzhong cursed directly, putting on airs of your mother's stinky daughter, like I owed you in my previous life.

Someone, drag this stinky woman out and strangle her to death, and kill all of Uncle Diao's family, who are awarded Hanlin bachelors.

Chen Yan's family was wiped out.

Afterwards Zhang Xianzhong married three more empresses, the first two were both killed after offending him not long after, but now this empress is very savvy, knows how to please Zhang Xianzhong, and is even quite satisfied with her status as an empress, acting like a domineering and blessing.

I didn't expect to scream again and again now. Could it be that the old man was in a bad mood, so he killed the queen?
When Zhang Dingguo arrived, he found that the imperial tent was filled with blood.

The somewhat pretty queen fell into a pool of blood and died a long time ago.

And the young Crown Prince, Old Long Live, also died tragically.

Long live Zhang Xianzhong was full of alcohol, his eyes were bare, and he was still chopping with a sword in his hand. Several concubines lay down on the ground.

"Long live the old man?"

Zhang Dingguo was also confused, why did he even kill the prince.

Zhang Xianzhong is just such a single seedling.

"Fuck it..." Zhang Xianzhong waved the sword, and Zhang Dingguo snatched it carefully.

"Long live the old man, calm down first, calm down."

Zhang Kewang and others also came after hearing the news.

Seeing the scene in this tent, they were also stunned.

Zhang Xianzhong's hair was disheveled, his body smelled of alcohol, his eyes were red, "Go to hell..."

"Long live the old man?"

It took a while for Zhang Xianzhong to regain his sanity. He looked at the four righteous sons and the two prime ministers, and then he looked at the prince and queen who were hacked to death by him.

"Fuck all his motherfuckers, bring me a white silk, I won't play anymore."

"After I die, you all burn me, and then go down the mountain and bring down the Tartars."

Zhang Dingguo felt sad, "Long live the old man!"

"Don't talk about it, the matter has come to this point, there is no cure. I think I, Zhang Xianzhong, can be regarded as a hero for a lifetime. I have ruled the world, and now I am absolutely unwilling to fall into the hands of the Tartars. Let's settle it myself."

"If I had known today, I might as well have agreed to Wen Anzhi and returned to Long'an to rest, at least you would still have a way out."

"Your Majesty, it's not enough yet." Everyone persuaded.

But Zhang Xianzhong couldn't listen anymore, he was crazy.

Although everyone said that the situation was not at its worst yet, everyone was already desperate. Lao Wansui even killed his son, which shows that he has completely given up.

"Long live the old man, the Ming army is around and will come to rescue at any time, we still have hope!" Zhang Kewang persuaded.

"Ming army? I have rebelled against the imperial court for more than ten years, and the officers and soldiers will help us? They are eager to see the Tartars kill us, so as to avoid future troubles, and they don't even need to dirty their hands. Why should they save us? Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger Wouldn't it be better to fight?" Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully.

"They won't understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and they will definitely come to the rescue, and they also borrowed food and roads for us before."

"Hmph, that's just for us to fight the Tartars."

Zhang Dingguo became impatient when he couldn't be persuaded. He shouted directly, "Since the left and right are nothing but death, why bother to commit suicide? Let's fight with the tartars. Killing one is enough money, killing two and earning one is considered dead." Here, it is always better than suicide.

I ask the old man to issue an order to take out all the food in the camp and let the brothers have a full meal. Then tonight, the south and east sides will be set on fire at the same time. The dead brothers attacked Nanwei.If the thieves don't save us, we will change the feint attack into a strong attack. If we can kill a bloody path, we will go downstream along the Han River. Hanyin and Xing'an are clearly there, or we will retreat to the northwest. There is Zhang Dapeng there. I have been sworn brothers, and I am a very nice person, so I can take a break here temporarily. "

Zhang Kewang, Zhang Nengqi, and Zhang Wenxiu's sons also knelt down and begged to fight the Tartars to the death.

"Long live the old man, let the brothers fight the Tartars to the death!"

"Fight!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xianzhong actually cheered up a little bit, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's fight with them, and according to Dingguo's instructions, Dingguo led 1 people to lie in the south, hopeful, Nengqi, Wenxiu The three of us will lead 1 people to attack the Eastern Siege, and I will lead [-] people on the mountain, so I will lead my army to attack wherever there is a chance."

This tyrannical hero in troubled times arouses a fierce fighting spirit, which is also very terrifying.

And the [-] trapped soldiers were also aroused to be ferocious at this time.

The last bit of food stored in the army was taken out.

Even the corpses that were killed and snatched back from the battle with the Tartars during the day were directly slaughtered and stewed in a cauldron.

The battle of trapped beasts is very powerful.

These desperate Western soldiers gnashed their teeth and ate what might be their last meal, sharpening their knives before the battle, with the determination to die.

Night falls.

Xi Jun, who had slept for half a day during the day, was full of energy. It was rare for these people to eat a full meal today, and they even added some 'meat', so they were extra energetic and their eyes shined.

Zhang Xianzhong also put on his armor and took charge of the Chinese army himself.

"Go ahead!"

With an order, Zhang Nengqi and Zhang Dingguo each led 5000 men to launch an attack on the two camps in the southeast at the same time. There was no temptation, and they rushed with all their strength from the beginning.

Facing the antlers of the relatively weak camps, it is a full-scale attack.

Things that can ignite and support combustion are also collected, and they are constantly thrown to set fire.

A shrill horn sounded.

At the same time, the Qing army sounded the alarm and began to intercept.

It's just that today, the West Thief's breakout is obviously more fierce.

In less than a moment, I felt very strenuous. The Qing army generals on duty had to wake up the coach Li Guohan urgently. Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Xu Yong, Zhang Yong, Aobai, Tun Qi, Han Dai and other Manchu and Han generals also all went to sleep. be awakened.

"It seems that the western thieves are going to do their best. Send all the soldiers up to block them. Since they don't want to live anymore, let's solve it together tonight. Let them charge and kill them all." Xiangbai Banner Han Banner Gu Shan Ezhen Li Guohan said viciously.

This battle has been fought for too long, and he is already tired of it.

But this western thief is very strong, and he has not been defeated for so long, which makes the Qing army almost unable to hold on.

Especially when the Ming army also began to oppress him, he was even more secretly startled. A Ming army marched out of the Jinniu Road, crossed the Yinping Trail, detoured to Wuzhou, then took the Qishan Road, and then arrived at Chengcheng County and Lueyang. Enter Chencang Road.

After going around seven times and eight times, they finally got behind them, not only cutting off the two main roads connecting Qishan and Chencang to Guanzhong and Hanzhong, but they might even kill them behind them at any time.

In the lower reaches of the Han River, the Ming army defeated generals Wang Guangen and Bai Guangen in the Battle of Xing'an last year, captured Xing'an, and continued to advance upstream, accumulating small victories into big victories, successively capturing Ziyang, Hanyin, and Shiquan, and fighting until Ziwu Town, approaching Hanzhong Prefecture.

Now the Qing army in Hanzhong is insufficient, and it is very difficult to fight Zhang Xianzhong. If the Ming army kills them again, they may be dumped.

So actually Li Guohan was also in a hurry, but he was not in a hurry.

The western thieves in Dingjun Mountain were besieged, but they had defended for so long and built many fortifications. It was not easy to storm the mountain.

After Wu Sangui and others left, the Qing army was short of troops. If the casualties were too large, the net would be broken.

He can only hope that the western thieves will run out of food soon, or that they will take the initiative to go down the mountain to break through, so that they can occupy the camp and have the advantage to kill the western thieves and end the siege sooner.

Li Guohan assigned Ma Ke, Bai Guangen, Zhao Guangrui, Liu Fangming, and Ma Ning to guard the southern encirclement, Xu Yong, Zhang Yong and himself guarded the eastern encirclement.

From the beginning of the battle, it was extremely fierce.

After Zhang Nengqi took the lead in charging Dongwei with 5000 troops, he followed suit regardless of the casualties. It didn't take long for hundreds of casualties, but he didn't seem to stop at all.

Soon Zhang Wenxiu led another 5000 people to follow up.

Soon, Zhang Kewang led 5000 people out.

In the east encircled camp, the western army broke through several antlers and penetrated like a sharp sword.

Those thieves were extraordinarily fierce today, and many of them were desperate for their lives regardless of casualties.

In a short period of time, several antlers of the Qing army were broken.

The two generals Xu Yong and Zhang Yong, who were known as being brave and capable of fighting, couldn't hold back the wave-like offensive, and hurriedly pressed all the soldiers behind them, but they still couldn't suppress the Western Army's offensive.

"This damn thing is going to kill you. With this time, the thief will be dead for two to three thousand dollars. Why are you still rushing forward?"

"I guess it's a last-ditch effort. I saw that the sons of the bandits were all raising their flags and rushing to the front. They used to supervise the formation from the rear, but now they are leading the most elite servants and the old battalion to the front. It seems true You have to work hard, and you have to be careful, but don't let them rush out and escape!"

Li Guohan kept his eyes on the battlefield, sending orders to and fro like flying, gathering intelligence from everywhere.

In the dark night, there are shouts of killing everywhere, but it is not as real as during the day.

This made Li Guohan think that the western thieves were going to break out from the east, especially when another messenger came and said that Zhang Xianzhong's flag had appeared in front of Zhang Yong's position, Li Guohan couldn't sit still.

"The thief is going to run, stop it."

"The western thieves are attacking too fiercely. They have already broken through many camp antlers. If they are unable to hold back, please ask for reinforcements."

Li Guohan asked about the situation in Nanwei.

"There are also western thieves rushing to the south, but not as fierce as the east."

Li Guohan judged that the south is a feint attack, and the east is the main attack.

"Hurry up and send an order to Bai Guangen to lead five thousand troops to reinforce Dongwei. We must not let them run away. After so long, we must not fail!"

"be quick!"

The Tartars had more than 2 horsemen, and the southeast and southeast circles had [-] men each, and Oboi's motorized cavalry had several thousand more.

At this time, the 1 horses in the east were already a bit overwhelmed, especially when it was dark, and they couldn't see clearly. They saw the flames soaring into the sky, shouting to kill, and even saw Zhang Xianzhong's banner in the flames, as well as the golden swordsman wearing gold. When Zhang Xianzhong from A appeared, they all thought they were going to flee from the east.
