Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 504 The Elegy of the Little Court of Zhangwu (Part )
He Chaishan, the guard of Magang Fort, was nicknamed "Crazy He". He was crazy about fighting and drinking, and even more crazy after seeing beautiful women. In the last Battle of Guyuan, he still dared to fight against the enemy's cavalry even though his two troops, Duoyun and Mafei, were defeated by the Qing cavalry. He was highly appreciated by King Zhu Shizhong of Zhangwu and was awarded the title after the war. The position of commander-in-chief.

Thinking that he had done a great job, when he was ordered to station at Magang Fort, he drank and had fun all day long. He also allowed his subordinates to disturb the people and caused untold harm to the local people. On this day, some sensible subordinates got a beautiful woman to pay filial piety to the general town. Seeing the beautiful woman with a slender waist and fair skin, Madman He immediately went crazy. He summoned the generals to drink wine in broad daylight, planning to drink until night. Be happy through wine.

Esai and Sunsike led five thousand pioneers to sneak quietly around Magang Fort. They found that the fort gate was open, and vendors came in and out of the fort gate from time to time to sell goods to the defenders. Whether they were ordinary people or traders, as long as they were willing to respect the guards at the fort gate, You can come and go as you please.

"They say Madman He is good at fighting, but I didn't expect him to be so careless." Sun Sike was so shocked by the sight in front of him that he couldn't believe it.

"That guy from Hechaishan is a famous bandit in Luonan. He relies on bravery to fight. How can he understand military discipline? He must have not heard the news of our army's arrival, and he felt that Magang Fort was far away from Liupan Mountain, so he didn't make preparations. Sun Guard, you will lead two thousand soldiers and horses to surround Magang Fort later, and I will lead three thousand soldiers and horses to rush into the city." Esai gave the order to Sun Sike. Although he only has a thousand and eight banner soldiers, he is a true Manchu general. Naturally, he is the leader of the vanguard. Sun Sike has to listen to him.

"嗻", Sun Sike, who was born in the Zhengbai Banner of the Han Army, respectfully shouted "嗻" and deployed according to the order.

In the large tent of the Ming Army in Magangbao, He Chaishan and other generals were in a state of drunkenness. Suddenly they heard the sound of killing, and some of his subordinates came running in panic, "General~General~", their voices were filled with panic, but they could not say anything. whole.

"Why are you panicking? Speak slowly." He Chaishan stared.

Strangely enough, after being glared at by him, the man spoke eloquently, "The Qing army has entered the fort, about thousands of them."

"Bah, I thought it was a big deal. It's just thousands of Qing soldiers. Don't panic, follow me and kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds." He Chaishan shouted and ordered someone to find his big sword, which weighed more than seventy kilograms. .

Being handsome is the courage of a general. If a lunatic dares to fight to the death, then naturally a group of ruthless bandits under his command will dare to fight to the death. Because they were having a banquet, only more than 800 subordinates gathered in a hurry to attack the Qing army.

He Chaishan, riding a horse, rushed to the front, carrying a sword weighing more than 70 kilograms and chopping melons and vegetables, cutting down several Eight Banners soldiers off their horses.

"Hey, you crazy man, you're going to die!" Esai recognized him, and his enemy was extremely jealous when he saw him, so he took out the big ax he had with him.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~" The battle was like lightning and thunder for more than ten rounds. After all, he drank too much and his reaction ability was weakened. He Chaishan was unprepared and received an axe, and a cloud of blood arrows suddenly splashed on his chest. The long-famous sword fell to the ground.

As soon as he died, the bravery of the Ming army suddenly failed, and all his men became like birds and beasts.

"Secretary, our army has captured Magang Fort, killed one thousand enemies and captured three thousand prisoners. What should we do with these prisoners?" Sun Sike asked for instructions.

"Kill these prisoners and the people in the city."

"What!" Sun Sike was startled.

"When I came, the generals Qian Dingzhu and Wan told me to prevent the news from leaking and not to kill them all. What should I do if the news is leaked? Besides, the warriors fought hard, so we have to let them taste some sweetness." Esai smiled grimly.

The rainy season is here, and it starts to rain in Guyuan Prefecture. The king of Zhangwu, Zhu Shijue Fusheng, had half a day to play with his eldest son Zhu Liebin. The little boy was five years old, and he was fat and cute. Unfortunately, he had been wandering for many years and only had this little flesh and blood! I had sons before, but unfortunately they all died on the way to escape. "Your Highness," Li Shiying, a close confidant and academician, approached quickly, "In urgent military situation, the puppet Qing Dynasty appointed Tunqi as Pingxi General, and led 50,000 troops to Liupan Mountain."

Zhu Shidong frowned. News came a few days ago that Dorgon, the imperial father and regent of the puppet Qing Dynasty, died. I thought it would take some time for the young emperor who had just taken charge to take charge of Shaanxi, but unexpectedly it came so quickly! "Instruct Zhao Guangrui, Li Mingyi, He Keliang, He Chaishan, and Sun Shouquan to be on guard; Ji Jiao and Wang are in charge of the department to strengthen the city defense; and Xu Buhuo is ordered to strengthen the defense."

"Yes".

Looking at Li Shiying who had been ordered to leave, Zhu Shizhong sighed, "It seems that Guyuan Prefecture will usher in another war!" The last battle in Guyuan greatly increased his prestige, and heroes continued to come to join him. The number of the army exceeds 60,000, and they feel that they are strong enough to fight.

When Tunqi's army arrived at Magang Fort, they turned a blind eye to Esai and Sun Sike's massacre of the city. Instead, they praised their bravery and made them smile. Then they led the army to kill Guyuan Prefecture City.

The two generals Ji Jiao and General Wang who guarded the city were the first generals to follow Zhu Shizhong. They were not very skilled in fighting, but they were more loyal than others. After receiving Zhu Shizhong's general order to strengthen the city's defense, they faithfully carried out the military order and increased the number of sergeants guarding the city. It's just that the Qing army came so fast and came from the direction of Magangbao in the east, which still greatly exceeded the defenders' expectations. All the cannons in the city are concentrated at the south gate and west gate. There is no one in the east gate. The number of equipment and sergeants defending the city is far less than in other directions.

"Attack the city", Tunqi did not waste a moment, and issued the siege order as soon as they arrived at Guyuan City. More than 50,000 troops were divided into parts to monitor other city gates, and the main force roared towards the east gate. The General of Pingxi did not forget the instructions of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor before setting off for the expedition, and deliberately put the Green Camp troops and the Eight Banners Han Army in the front, and the Eight Banners disciples in the back.

Although Ji Jiao and Manager Wang had more than 20,000 subordinates, their loyalty was far greater than their ability. Before they defected to Zhu Shizhong, one was a bandit and the other was an accountant for the bandit. Their combat power was far inferior to that of Zhao. Guangrui and Li Mingyi's subordinates compared.

Hearing that Dongcheng was in danger, the loyal manager Wang rushed to the city with five hundred personal guards, where he met Sun Sike who was eager to make a contribution. Being chosen as a bodyguard by Dorgon, he naturally has a lot of talent under his command. After a short battle, he found a flaw and killed Manager Wang with a single blow.

Sun Sike jumped down the city wall, like a murderous god, and chopped open the city gate.

"Kill~kill~kill~" Seeing the city gate open, the Qing army rushed into the city.

"Come here, give me armor." After hearing the news that the Qing army was approaching the city, Zhu Shizhong was surprised but did not panic. Instead, he put on armor and prepared to fight. Xu Buhuo, who was in charge of the palace guards, followed with three thousand guards. behind him.

Just as they formed their formation, academicians Li Shiying and Mi Guozhen arrived. Seeing that they were dressed as civil servants, but holding swords and trying to fight with their lives, Zhu Shizhong was very moved and raised his hands to them, "Two gentlemen, there is no need to follow me. If Ruocheng cannot defend it later, we will look for an opportunity to retreat from Beicheng." , Guhui will send someone to escort."

"Does your Highness think that the old minister is too weak to be killed and made a slave?" Li Shiying waved his sword angrily.

"While the city is alive and people are alive, if the city dies, people will die. I am willing to follow His Highness and defend Guyuan to the end." Mi Guozhen is also very ambitious.

With tears in his eyes, Zhu Shizhu ordered someone to bring Zhu Liebin to the two of them and said: "It's not like I can't trust these two gentlemen. I've been wandering for half my life and only have this little bit of flesh and blood. Now I hand it over to you. Please be sure to save this young boy's life."

"Your Highness, don't worry. I will risk my life to protect my son," Li Shiying and Mi Guozhen swore in tears.
