Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The wilderness is littered with corpses, buzzing flies are flying, and the banner camp artillery that was once ravaged is abandoned in front of the Qing army's camp like scrap copper and iron.In addition, those Green Banner soldiers who had no time to escape were escorted over in groups of three or four, squatting on the ground with their hands tied, and looked at the victor in front of them with terrified eyes.

At this time, surrounded by the guards and cheered by the officers and soldiers of the Zheng army cleaning the battlefield, Zheng Kezang slowly walked through the messy battlefield and entered the abandoned Qing army camp.Shanahai's body was already placed at the entrance, Zheng Kezang nodded indifferently looking at the short body of the Manchurian veteran, and his attendants carried him away for burial.

"Run faster." Zheng Kezang said lightly after inspecting the mountainous warehouse. "It's cheap and lonely." After saying this joke that wasn't funny, Zheng Kezang pointed to Jingzhou City in the distance. "Go, don't keep your parents waiting"

Zheng Kezang and his entourage slowly approached the Yinbin Gate in the east city of Jingzhou. Hundreds of Jingzhou officials and gentry had been waiting there for a long time under Binyang Tower. Gao Deyi, the prefect, raised the tray in his hand above his head, and on the tray was the seal of the prefect of Jingzhou, to show his devotion to the city.

"Gaofutai!" Zheng Kezang ordered people to confiscate the great seal, and at the same time looked at the Qing soldiers who were detained outside the city wall and were captured by the pursuing Zheng army after they failed to escape into Jingzhou. "Preserving the city of Jingzhou from being slaughtered by war is not a bad job. In the past few days, we will temporarily maintain the capital city and cooperate with military supplies, so as to make up for our mistakes."

Gao Deyi breathed a sigh of relief, his body softened, then straightened up, and respectfully kowtowed: "Sinners kowtow to thank King Xia for not killing Hong En, and sinners will definitely make atonement to keep Jingzhou's capital stable. One should be enshrined."

"Remember not to exploit the common people." After leaving this sentence, Zheng Kezang drove his horse, and under the guidance of the guards, passed through the Jingzhou gentry kneeling on the ground, and headed into the city. As soon as he entered the city, Zheng Kezang Seeing the partition wall dividing the city, he frowned and ordered. [New] "The whole city was demolished by the orphans"

Two hours after Zheng Kezang entered Jingzhou, on the wilderness on the north bank of the Man River, two oncoming teams were already fighting.One of them was Kazhu and Guo Shijie, who had rushed to the north to aid nearly ten thousand Qing troops, and the other was [-] new affiliated troops led by Yue Shenglong who descended from Zheng Qing troops in De'an, Suizhou, Xiangfan and other places.One side is to return to the teacher and not to be stopped, and the other side has just taken refuge in a new master and is trying to show its strength, so the battle situation was very tragic from the very beginning.

"Let go!" With an order, hundreds of blunderbusses were fired one after another. In the smoke, countless soldiers who rushed forward were hit by flying lead and iron sand.Although the lethality of the bird gun is too small, it is still fatal enough to hit vital points such as the face and the door.Even if the key parts are not hit, but the hands and feet are hit, the opponent can lose combat effectiveness.However, the bird gun is the standard equipment of the Green Camp, so after one side fires, the other side also responds with color as a matter of course.

Seeing that the opponent had more bird guns, Guo Shijie immediately released the artillery he brought.The artillery of the green battalion is naturally Dafagong, Dafolangji and the like, with a limited range and a small number. Therefore, although an artificial hole is created in the opponent's dense camp, it cannot break the opponent's will to fight at all.Soon, the hand-to-hand soldiers of the two sides collided, and the newly opened artillery immediately became a useless burden.

"Kill!" In the sound of killing, you pierced my stomach with a single shot, and I chopped your head with a single knife. The two sides, mainly armored soldiers, exchanged casualties at a ratio of one to one. It should have been The rice fields irrigated by the river were covered with stinky human blood, and the corpses gathered on the pillow told the most unfortunate scene in the world.

"These dead traitors who work for tigers are really capable of fighting." Looking at the fierce fighting scene in front of him, Yuan Boxiong, the battalion guard of Wuchang City, spat and begged the coach Yue Shenglong beside him. [ ] "Military Gate, let the subordinates attack." Although Yuan Boxiong has contributed to Fancheng, it is far behind Hu Naili's beheading of Gartu Diding Xiangyang, so he naturally wants to show it. "Humble job will definitely take Guo Shijie's head for you."

"Wuchang Battalion can fight, but General Yuan, how are you going to fight?"

Yue Shenglong asked Yuan Boxiong what he said. How to fight, of course, is to join the key front and become the last straw to crush the opponent, but such a view was not recognized by Yue Shenglong.

"Laizhou Town is not weak, how do you know that you are the last push?"

Yuan Boxiong didn't know how to respond, so he bowed his head and said, "Please enlighten me from the military sect!"

"See, the left wing is the banner camp." Yue Shenglong pointed with the whip in his hand. "You fight against the banner camp!"

Yuan Boxiong also fought on the battlefield to pacify the San Francisco. Although he was only a small general at the time, he still knew the old background of Qiying, so when he heard Yue Shenglong's instructions, he immediately understood and responded. After a cry, he rushed over with more than 1000 people.

In fact, Yue Shenglong's guess was correct, the Beijing Banner that was stuck was indeed the weakest link of the Qing army.Speaking of it, the Kazhu Department can be regarded as the elite of the Beijing Banner, and all of them are equipped with high-quality cotton armor.However, due to the hot weather, these flag soldiers did not all wear armor, let alone imitate their predecessors and wear double or triple cotton armor.Since most people did not wear armor, they naturally couldn't give full play to the advantages of wearing armor. Naturally, there were also many casualties in the bloody casualty exchange.How can this kind of tragic scene be endured by the Eight Banners soldiers who are used to enjoying it in the city of Beijing? The previous stubborn resistance was just a rebound after being cornered. It melted away like an arctic iceberg that met tropical eyes.

Guo Shijie actually saw the movement of the banner battalion very clearly, but his strength was far inferior to that of his opponent, so he could only allocate the last few hundred reserve troops to reinforce the left wing. I think Yue Shenglong also saw the advantage, and sent the new force of Wuchang Battalion over.

"Kill!" Yuan Boxiong, wielding a red-tasseled gun, rode into the left wing of the Qing army at the head of the horse, and an armored leader in front of him tried to stop him, but was stabbed to death under the horse.Yuan Boxiong shook the gun body immediately, and the gun head was pulled out from the opponent's throat immediately, and then swept away, forcing back the forward school and the vest who were besieged in front of him. Shiku.

Since the main general was so brave, the thousands of soldiers and even ordinary soldiers behind him were naturally high in morale, and roared towards the banner soldiers who had little fighting spirit.After receiving such a fierce blow from the enemy's new force, the frightened banner soldiers immediately collapsed, leaving behind their opponents and fleeing.It didn't matter if the flag soldiers escaped like this, Guo Shijie's reinforcements were exposed at that time, and they were besieged and killed by the swarming new attached troops.

Hearing the screams of the Laizhou town soldiers, the distraught banner soldiers fled faster. Because people have a herd mentality, the banner soldiers who only wanted to escape to the rear of their own people led the chasing new army to crush their own side first. The Chinese army, and then even the final reserve team that regarded Guo Shijie as the supervisor of the battle team was also dispersed.

"It's over, it's over!" Guo Shijie beat his chest and stamped his feet. At this time, the soldiers around him didn't care about saying anything, they just surrounded him and fled into the distance.

The escape of the general flag caused an avalanche on the front line. The soldiers of Laizhou Town who could no longer hold on fled one after another. Killed, the tragedy cannot be repeated.

"Lord Yue, there is no law in this domain to cut off the head to judge meritorious deeds." Hao Jianjun behind Yue Shenglong said with twinkling eyes. "And the lower officials think it's right to continue the pursuit now, so that Guo and Ka won't have a chance to breathe."

"If Mr. Hao hadn't reminded me, I would almost have made a mistake." Yue Shenglong raised his palm pretentiously, and then ordered: "Come here, pass on the order of my general, and those who surrender will not die, and then send someone to notify the battalion commanders to transfer immediately." Be smart, keep chasing, don't let the Qing captives have a chance to reorganize, catch Guo Shijie and the residents and get promoted to the third rank!"

"Master Guo," Guo Shijie, who finally escaped from the chaos, happened to meet Ka Zhu who was in the same embarrassment, and asked for advice as if he had seen his relatives, crying bitterly and uneasily. "Now what shall we do!"

"Take off!" Guo Shijie said while taking off his armor. "Never go south. Going south is a dead end. The only plan for now is to go west, cross the Wudang Mountains, and go to Shaanxi."

While taking off his armor, Ka Zhu lamented, "I don't know what the imperial court will do to us!"

Guo Shijie looked at Ka Zhu bitterly. If it weren't for the incompetence of the banner soldiers, he might have lost the battle, but it is useless to say this now. Keeping Ka Zhu, the deputy capital commander, is equivalent to saving his own life, so he perfunctory Said: "It doesn't matter what the court's treatment is now, it's a fluke to survive."

Because they were not prepared to escape at all, the two of them had no change of clothes, so they had no choice but to get back on their horses in their white underwear, and led the remaining ten or so guards of the two to flee westward, and soon disappeared. Out of the sight of the crowd, the remaining thousands of remnants who lost their command were allowed to die or be captured.

"Send a good news to Xiangyang." Yue Shenglong ordered triumphantly. Although Ka Zhu and Guo Shijie were not captured, killing two thousand enemies and capturing five thousand was considered a great victory. The Ministry added another stroke, thinking that the Earl is safe, and the Marquis may also have hope.

Fortunately, Yue Shenglong was still quite sober. After a moment of complacency, he remembered the task Lin Sheng had given him, so he asked Supervisor Hao next to him, "By the way, Mr. Hao, shall we continue going south?"

"Accounting for it, the Zhennan camp should already know that we have captured Xiangfan." Supervisor Hao shook his head. "We still have thousands of burdens in our hands, and we are naturally unable to resist the tens of thousands of enemies. Why not return to Yicheng to the north and stick to it, so as to respond to our army in Xiangyang."

Yue Shenglong also wanted to accept it, and when he heard what the superintendent said, he immediately responded: "Then follow Master Hao's words."
