Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

The 14th year of Wucheng in Huaxia (the 51st year of Qing Emperor Kangxi) at [-]:[-] on August [-]th?? Xia Jun Jockey Camp outside the city of Hejianfu

"What?" He Shuzhi couldn't believe it and asked the half-kneeling Tanma again. "Are you sure that Qinglu's brigade is heading towards Jinzhou?" Tanma also gave an affirmative answer again, so He Shuzhi waved his hand, and the Tanma who reported the letter stepped back. He Shuzhi then said to Kujin who had an equally ugly face. "Master Gu, it seems that you and I guessed wrong, the Yinti Department is going to enter Shanxi."

"We must not allow the Yinti troops to enter Shanxi." Gu Jin gritted his teeth and said, you know, although the Shanxi Xia Army already has 10,000+ troops, most of them are auxiliary troops with extremely poor equipment and combat power. It is more scattered throughout Shanxi. Once the Yinti tribe enters Shanxi through Niangziguan, which is still under the control of the Qing army, the battle situation may be reversed. "Order all the divisions to dispatch immediately, and be sure to stop the Qing army before they enter Shimen."

He Shuzhi didn't object, so Kujin's order was quickly carried out. At this time, He Shuzhi suddenly chuckled: "Brother Gu, the situation is not as bad as you and I imagined. Even if Yinti entered Shanxi, the first thing he should do is not After defeating Shanxi, our army segregated Jin Province, but raised food and grass, and continued to flee north to Datong."

Gu Jin nodded: "Master He is right. Although Shanxi is a beautiful place, there is Taihang in the east, Luliang in the west, and the Yellow River in the south. It is actually a pocket. Yinti will never wait for our troops to come and take it He was trapped and died in Shanxi. However, if he fled to Shanxi because of this, I am afraid that our army who besieged Taiyuan will suffer a big loss. Second, the war will be delayed for a long time, which will not benefit the people of the country, let alone the Holy Majesty. side"

He Shuzhi's heart trembled, and he hastily echoed: "Yes, Yinti must not be allowed to enter Shanxi."

Half an hour later, the officers and soldiers of the eight divisions of the Xia Army's iron cavalry, hussars, and flying cavalry, who had been waiting for a long time, turned into a torrent and rushed to the southwest to the Jinzhou and Gaocheng lines.

At the beginning of the unitary hour, He Shuzhi and Kujin, who were already close to the northeast of Anping, suddenly received a report that the Qing army turned back after thirty miles out of Shenzhou.This discovery surprised and delighted He and Gu.Hi, of course, needless to say, Yinti obviously won't enter Jin directly; surprised, then there is a doubt, the Qing army will go to Dingzhou, Quyang and Laiyuan to enter Shanxi by flying fox path next?Are you still withdrawing to Baoding?

On the surface, after arriving in Baoding, the Yinti tribe can take the Laiyuan Flying Fox Path to enter Jin, and can go to Puyinxing, Yixian County, pass Zijingguan and enter Lingqiu to Datong, which is far more beneficial to the Qing army than the direction of Dingzhou, which only has one choice. However, things are not absolute. Judging from Yinti's cunning in the north retreat, it does not rule out that he may choose the Dingzhou plan.

"Master Gu, it's getting late now. If we can't determine the path of the Ming and Qing army, if you and I chase the wrong direction and let them escape into the mountains, it will really cause disaster." He Shuzhi suggested. "Should we divide up our troops and each pursue their way?"

"No!" Ku Jin shook his head and denied. "Our army is already weaker than the Qing captives. If we divide our forces again, I'm afraid we may not be able to stop Yinti, who is still fighting." Even so, it is no longer possible to enter Anguo before the Qing army, and the original blocking plan has also expired. Impossible. "Master He, why did you say that Qinglu stayed in Shenzhou for a long time?"

He Shuzhi really didn't think much about the issue of Kuching. Now that he heard Kujin mentioning it, he couldn't help but think deeply. Gradually, his eyes lit up: "Master Gu means that the Qing army ran for their lives all the way, with physical strength and energy. He couldn't hold on any longer, so Yinti had to rest in Shenzhou for half a day."

Ku Jin nodded: "This is the only possibility, but I think Yinti's troops are already a frightened bird."

He Shuzhi said knowingly: "Our teacher can completely hide behind the Qing army's buttocks."

Under the light of a few torches, the Qing army could already vaguely see the outline of Anguo County, but the order from the officer to stop and rest was never issued, and the front team continued to walk in file, their legs followed The lead-filled Qing soldiers couldn't help cursing secretly, especially some banner soldiers cursed loudly.It's just that what was waiting for them was a whip that covered their heads and faces. As a last resort, the extremely tired Qing soldiers could only keep up with the team in a daze but mechanically.

I don't know how far we went, but the order to rest on the spot finally came down, and the Qing soldiers didn't even care about taking out dry food, so they lay down on the ground and fell asleep, but they slept for less than half an hour, and were again Pushing and shoving, he got up and continued to march.Some Qing soldiers were so tired that they fell to the ground while walking, only to wake up suddenly after being stepped on by seventeen or eight feet.Yinti was already extremely tired at the moment, so he could only lie down on the horse and take a nap, only relying on the support of the guards to prevent him from falling off the horse.

Suddenly, the war horse under Yinti's seat staggered, and Yinti, who was half asleep and half awake, was awakened.

Yinti glanced around blankly, and asked the guards whose eyes were also red, "Here, where are you?"

The conscientious guard immediately reported: "Prince, the forward has just reported and will arrive in Dingzhou in twenty miles."

"Twenty miles." Yinti ordered someone to bring cold water, wiped his face with a sweat towel, and then he said after being refreshed. "Notify the front team to build a camp outside Dingzhou City, and then ask the prefect of Dingzhou to prepare firewood, ginger juice, and hot water for the soldiers to drink and burn their feet. Hot food must also be prepared." The guards immediately jumped on the horses and hurried Let's go, Yinti said again. "Tell the back team that they can rest when they arrive in Dingzhou, and let them step up their pace, and their vigilance cannot be relaxed."

Before Yinti finished speaking, a huge commotion passed from the back team like a wave. Yinti was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on, what happened to the back team?"

Before the guards rushed out to inquire, Tong Baoming, the Mongolian vice capital of Xianglan Banner, rushed over with a terrified expression: "Prince, it's not good, Haini, Haini's cavalry is attacking the rear team, and Xuanhua Town of the palace army has already arrived!" collapsed"

Yinti drew out his sword and stabbed Baoming hard in the chest. Under Baoming's bewildered eyes, Yinti shouted, "Baoming fled before the battle and disturbed the morale of the army. I have already dealt with the law by myself!"

"I don't have any." Baoming was wronged to the extreme, but his life had gradually left his body. Before the moment, he was still defending himself. "Prince, prince, no slaves"

Yinti didn't take a second look at Baoming, who died in vain, but listened to his angry order: "Let Su Keluotu, Baoshan, and Sasu immediately lead their headquarters to help the rear team, and Yingqi, Fushun, Tang Huafen, and Luo Longfang will follow the instructions." Gu blocked the cavalry of the Xia army, who dared to take a step back, and Gu would kill him himself!"

Yinti's arrangement was timely, but facing the tens of thousands of cavalry of the Xia army emerging from the darkness with torches in hand, the Qing army, which was already on the verge of collapse, could not stop their thunderous impact.Soon, the blocking force was dispersed, the reinforcements were crushed, and the rout of the rear spread to the entire army. The rout of a few people completely turned into a complete collapse.Thousands of Qing soldiers fled in all directions shouting slogans such as "defeated" and "it's over" without looking back. The weapons and armor on their bodies were discarded everywhere as if they were cumbersome, let alone the artillery. Such a bulky thing.

"Don't stop, kill all the way," Wang Ying, the commander of the second division of the Hussars, shouted to his subordinates who were trying to gather the troops. "Until the Qing captives are all washed away"

"It's over, it's over." Yinti watched in dismay as countless Qing soldiers ran past him, no one, no one looked back at their crown prince and their commander-in-chief, this kind of defeat made Yinti feel despaired. "The Qing Dynasty is over, and the Manchu people are over." The sword in Yinti's hand had already rested on his neck. "You can't kill the fleeing soldiers and defeated generals, but you can always kill yourself."

"Prince, you can't!" The loyal guard pressed Yinti's sword hand. "The Qing Dynasty is not dead yet. As long as the Crown Prince can escape outside the customs, the Qing Dynasty will still have a chance to make a comeback. The Crown Prince, you must not be confused. You cannot destroy the last hope of the Qing Dynasty with your own hands, the Crown Prince."

"Yes, there is still hope. The Manchus are still outside the gate." Yinti put the sword back into its sheath as if he had come alive. "Go, get out of here"

The disappearance of Yinti means the disappearance of the last command of the Qing army, and also means the end of the Qing army.

It was getting brighter, and the cavalrymen of the Xia Army who had been rushing to kill in the middle of the night finally stopped their horses that had lost their strength. It was just that the attack of the Hussars and Iron Cavalry was over, and the cavalry and infantrymen of the Xia Army scattered around the battlefield The battle has only just begun.Of course, this may not be called fighting, but just cleaning the battlefield.

"Look, over there." Spotting several guards dressed in Qing army trying to escape from the battlefield with a fat man on horseback, Tao Guihua, the squad leader of Squad B, Squad B, Squad C, Squad B, Third Brigade, Second Regiment, Third Division, Third Brigade, and Second Regiment, of the Flying Cavalry Army had a serious expression on his face. There was a hint of joy, this is a big fish, and it must not slip away from his hands. "Catch up."

The sound of gunfire rang out, and the two fleeing Qing soldiers were immediately knocked down to the ground. The shivering fat man fell off his horse. Before the guards had time to help him, ten Xia soldiers approached on horseback.

Looking at the black muzzle, the remaining guards gave up their resistance knowingly. Seeing them being tied up one by one by Xia soldiers who dismounted from their horses, Tao Guihua drove his horse to Fatty's side: "Here, pass the name report!" surname"

"Prince Heshuokang Chong'an has been caught." Hearing this news, cheers instantly spread throughout the battlefield, but what surprised Xia Jun's soldiers even more was. "The general has an order, catch Yinti, and the merit will be first-class."

"I'm alone, I can't escape alone." Looking at the Xia army all over the mountains and plains, Yinti, who found that he had nowhere to escape, slumped down from the back of a guard. While fleeing, he broke his thigh while galloping the horse, and couldn't even ride the horse, so he couldn't escape Xia Jun's net. "You take the lonely prince's seal to find the grandson, and find a way to support the grandson to ascend the throne, and protect the continuation of my Qing Dynasty." Looking at the crying guard kneeling beside him, Yinti yelled angrily. "Let's go quickly, is it possible that the last bit of hope is not left to Gu?"

The guards escaped separately, Yinti fell face up on the muddy ground, looked at the sky and murmured: "It's really blue."

After saying that, he threw away the useless long sword, took out a dagger from his pocket, put it on his neck, and pulled it hard, blood spurted out, slowly turning the blue sky into a tinge of blood

"Yinti's body has been found." He Shuzhi reported to Kuching Tong. "I have had Chong'an and other captured nobles of the Eight Banners check it out, and it has been confirmed that it is Yinti himself. We can report victory to the Holy One."

"Yeah, it's over." Ku Jin was a little disappointed. "I'm afraid there will be no chance for you and me to act in the future."

He Shuzhi laughed: "Don't worry, the city of Beijing hasn't been taken yet, even if Beijing is taken, wouldn't there still be Datong and Fengtian, Mr. Gu, isn't it too early to say this?"
