Rebirth of the deer dragon, the leader of the dragon

Chapter 581 Shijiazhuang Great Victory

Because of the arrival of Hong Tianxiao and Zhang Ruqing, the battle situation between Henan and Shandong has undergone a complete change. The entire territory of Henan fell, Yao Qisheng surrendered to Dashun, and Shandong also fell. The coach Sun Sike also surrendered to Dashun, and even took away the Han army. Eighty thousand troops of the Eight Banners soldiers only had two banners, Zhengbai Banner and Zhenghong Banner. In this way, Hebei was completely surrounded by Shanxi, Henan and Shandong. At this time, Hong Tianxiao and Zhang Ruqing also came to Jinlongmen The main altar is preparing to launch an uprising here to cooperate with the actions of the three-way army.

In the past few months, Jiao Yiquan did not dare to slacken any slack, and secretly trained the disciples of the Golden Dragon Gate to form an army. Half a month before Hong Tianxiao came to the Golden Dragon Gate main altar, all the preparations had been completed, and all the food, grass and military equipment had been in place. , just wait for Hong Tianxiao's order to seize the city gates of various places in Hebei.

There are only about 5000 disciples from the Golden Dragon Gate and the disciples from the Hebei branch of the Devil's Cult. Compared with the [-] defenders in Hebei, it is like hitting a stone with an egg.However, under Hong Tianxiao's order, Jiao Yiquan secretly recruited some generals of the Han army in Hebei, and controlled some of the generals of the Han army with the Life and Death Pill. It can be said that half of the military power in Hebei has been controlled by Jinlongmen It's just that all of this was done in secret, and Cha Erzhu, the commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion in charge of guarding Hebei, didn't notice it at all.

At present, there are only two people under Kangxi who can fight the most. One is Prince Kang who was just released from the prison by Kangxi and is responsible for guarding the safety of the capital. The other is Chaerzhu, the commander of the Xiaoqi battalion. One place defense.Kangxi has a total of [-] red cannons in his hands, twelve of which were placed in the capital, and eight were handed over to Chaerzhu. It can be seen that Kangxi has already used Hebei and the capital as his final bases. Once Hebei and the capital are defeated, Kangxi He will lead the last army to retreat from Tianjin by water.

The reason for taking the water route was that Kangxi had already guessed that the Horqin Mongolian tribe in the north had surrendered to Hong Tianxiao, and this route of retreat had been cut off.Once Hebei falls, Kangxi will order Prince Kang to guard Beijing, and then quietly retreat from Tianjin Port, giving the Shun army the illusion that he is still in the imperial palace in the capital.

On the third day after Hong Tianxiao brought the three daughters to the Jinlongmen General Altar, the Jinlongmen began to hold an uprising in Baoding, and the Shun army captured most of the cities in northern Hebei with lightning speed. Leading the army to the east, Li Zicheng led the army to the northeast, Zhao Liangdong led the army to the north, and attacked Shijiazhuang, an important town in Hebei, in three ways.This is the base camp of Chaerzhu. Not only is the city of Shijiazhuang high and thick, but there is also sufficient food inside. Chaerzhu feared that the troops would be broken by the Shun army after division, so he led an army of [-] to guard here.

Soon, in just half a month, the four armies gathered at the four gates of Shijiazhuang City. Hu Yunzhi was at the west gate, Li Zicheng and Zhou Peigong were at the south gate, Zhao Liangdong was at the east gate, Hong Tianxiao and Jiao Yiquan were at the north gate, hundreds of thousands The army will make Shijiazhuang city full of water.

Standing alone in front of the north gate, Hong Tianxiao exercised his energy and shouted loudly at the city gate: "Cha Erzhu, if you surrender the city now, I will remember the old love, spare your life, and I will spare you in the future." The family members are not dead, otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel after breaking the city."

Ever since Cha Erzhu learned that Hong Tianxiao and Liu Feiying were the same person, she felt inexplicable fear in her heart, but this did not mean that Cha Erzhu would be greedy for life and afraid of death, on the contrary, it aroused Cha Erzhu's fierceness even more.After hearing Hong Tianxiao's words of persuasion, Cha Erzhu stood on the top of the north gate and laughed loudly: "Hong Tianxiao, I know that your martial arts are world-class, and that you have a good army, but if you dare to attack the city, I will fight you." It will kill all the Han people in the city, leaving no one behind, even if you break the city, you will only get an empty city and hundreds of thousands of corpses, hahahaha."

Hong Tianxiao was furious when he heard the words, but he also knew that Cha Erzhu was a bloodthirsty person, and that this person already had the will to die, maybe he would really do such a thing.Hong Tianxiao originally planned to attack the city from all directions if he failed to persuade him to surrender, so he was a little bit wary, so he angrily shouted "Cha Erzhu, if you dare to touch only one of the people in the city, I will surely crush you to ashes", and then planned to attack the city. The horse returned and ordered the troops to be withdrawn temporarily, and there were bursts of wild laughter from Cha Erzhu behind him.

After returning to the camp, Hong Tianxiao was still furious, smashed the case into pieces with one palm, and said through gritted teeth: "I swore to kill Chaerzhu, Qing'er, what good plan do you have, since the city of Shijiazhuang can be destroyed, How can it prevent the people in the city from being harmed?" Over the past few days, the relationship between Hong Tianxiao and Zhang Ruqing has grown by leaps and bounds, except for Zhang Ruqing's thin skin, the two of them did not have the last layer of relationship, and Hong Tianxiao had already taken advantage of the rest. Naturally, the title has already been changed.

Zhang Ruqing understood Hong Tianxiao's feelings, but Cha Erzhu was threatening the people in the city, even though she was smart, it was difficult for her to think of a solution for both ends, so she shook her head slightly.

Hong Tianxiao also knew that this matter was extremely difficult, so Dang even sat in the coach's seat in silence.Seeing this, Jiao Yiquan didn't dare to speak too much, and the big tent fell into silence for a while.

Not long after, Li Zicheng, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong and Hu Yunzhi were also ordered to come. At this time, the atmosphere in the big tent became a little more active.

Seeing the confusion on the four people's faces, Hong Tianxiao knew that they must not understand his sudden order to withdraw troops back to the camp, so he told the four people what happened at the north gate today.As soon as Hong Tianxiao finished speaking, Li Zicheng, who had the most violent personality, began to curse angrily: "If this bastard is caught by me, he will definitely have cramps and skin, and his bones will be ashes."

Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, and Hu Yunzhi remained silent, each of them lost in thought, obviously already thinking about how to break through.

After a while, Li Zicheng was still cursing, and Zhou Peigong had already offered a plan: "I report to King Shun, I just came up with a plan, I wonder if it works?"

Hong Tianxiao was worried that he had nothing to do, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Pei Gong has a clever plan, let's talk about it quickly."

Zhou Peigong said: "The reason why Chaerzhu is like this must be that the little emperor ordered him to threaten the people in the city so that our army would not dare to act rashly. This is nothing more than buying time for the northern Raksha kingdom to go south. Therefore , our army cannot stand against him here. In the opinion of the subordinates, it is better to let Marshal Li and his subordinates continue to besiege Shijiazhuang City here, and King Shun leads the army to take the capital directly. In this way, if Chaerzhu leads the army to rescue Beijing, we will The army can wipe it out on the way. If Chaerzhu doesn't save Beijing, King Shun can attack Beijing with all his strength. Once Beijing is broken, Chaerzhu will naturally not stick to Shijiazhuang City. Design to destroy it."

Zhou Peigong's plan is to encircle Wei and save Zhao. This plan is definitely a clever plan, but Hong Tianxiao is still a little worried, and sighed: "Peigong's plan is very good, but I am only a little worried. I am worried that once Chaerzhu is desperate At that time, it will be detrimental to the people in the city."

This is the difference between the lord and the general. The lord focuses on the overall situation and the hearts of the people, while the general focuses on defeating the enemy and making meritorious deeds.

Hu Yunzhi asked: "Golden Dragon Envoy, are there any disciples of the Dragon Sect in Shijiazhuang City as internal support?"

Jiao Yiquan nodded and said: "Yes, there is, but the city of Chaerzhu is too tight right now, so I can't get in touch with it."

"This..." The siege failed, and the internal response could not be contacted, and everyone was speechless for a while.

Seeing that everyone couldn't think of any solution, Hong Tianxiao waved his hands and said: "Everyone should disperse, take strict precautions against the camp, and beware of Cha Erzhu leading the army to rob the camp." Only Hong Tianxiao and Zhang Ruqing were left.

After everyone left, Zhang Ruqing stood up and said softly, "Master, do you still want to break through the barrier alone?"

Hong Tianxiao smiled and said: "I didn't expect Gu's thoughts to be hidden from you. Yes, hundreds of thousands of troops are currently besieging the city, and they cannot attack or retreat. It is a waste of money and food. Moreover, if it takes a long time, once the Raksha Kingdom Therefore, Gu decided to enter the city at night, kill Cha Erzhu, and then disguise himself into his appearance, open the city gate, and enlarge the army to enter the city. Only in this way can the fastest Conquer Shijiazhuang City quickly."

Zhang Ruqing was not without worry and said: "My lord, my lord has single-handedly broken through in both the capital city and Zhengzhou, Henan, and his reputation has been spread all over the world. How can Cha Erzhu not guard against it? He will definitely be on guard just like General Sun Sike. If you go, you may not be able to succeed, but you will be in danger."

Hong Tianxiao sighed: "How could this solitary person not know that the anti-Qing victory is imminent, if we delay here, not only will the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in the city be in danger, but it will also cause the army of the Raksha Kingdom in the north to go south and make us The army is under the enemy. Moreover, today is cloudy, there will be no stars and moons tonight, and God will also help Gu, which is very different from that day under the city of Jinan, and the enemy may be defeated tonight."

After this period of contact, Zhang Ruqing also understood Hong Tianxiao's character, and knew that he had made up his mind, and it would be futile to persuade him, so he sighed and said, "In this case, I will not persuade you any more, and I hope the prince can be careful." The concubine then mobilized part of the troops from the other three sects to assist the north gate, and ordered the other three generals to guard the city with archers to prevent the Qing soldiers from rushing out of the city.

Hong Tianxiao nodded, took out the Tiger Talisman from his bosom, handed it to Zhang Ruqing, and said with a solemn face, "Qing'er, I can only tell my adoptive father, Zhou Peigong, Zhao Liangdong, Hu Yunzhi, and Jiao Yiquan about going alone. If you succeed alone, you still need to shoot a rocket as a signal, and then you order the army to go straight to the north gate."

Zhang Ruqing looked at the resolute Hong Tianxiao, couldn't help the tears filled his eyes, leaned his delicate body gently on Hong Tianxiao's body, and said softly: "My lord, concubine... I will hand over my innocent body to the prince. "

Hong Tianxiao smiled slightly, patted Zhang Ruqing's fragrant shoulder lightly and said: "Silly Qing'er, Gu's going here is not a parting of life and death, why cry. Don't worry, Gu will be fine until I pick my Qing'er Yes, if this battle can break the strong city of Shijiazhuang, Gu will definitely want you."

After a while, the sky was completely dark, and Hong Tianxiao was ready. Except for a pair of eyes, the rest of his body was wrapped in the night clothes.Today is really heaven's help, there are no stars and no moon, except for the camp of the Shun army, it is pitch black.Although the sergeants at the top of the city had been ordered by Cha Erzhu long ago, there were a few with good eyesight who took turns to look out, but after all, it was too dark outside, and Hong Tianxiao's lightness skills were top-notch at the time, and those Qing soldiers couldn't see anything at all. Abnormally, Hong Tianxiao had already arrived in front of the moat.

The story of this night was almost exactly the same as that of Zhengzhou, Henan not long ago, except that the resistance was more intense. The main general Cha Erzhu also refused to surrender, and was beheaded by Hong Tianxiao.After three hours of bloody fighting, the banner of the Shun Army was finally planted on the top of Shijiazhuang City. The entire Qing army was wiped out and no one escaped. However, because of the melee in the city, the Shun Army also paid a painful price of [-] casualties.

However, the significance of the great victory in Shijiazhuang was unprecedented for the soon-to-be-established Dashun Empire. It formed a siege of the capital before the Luocha Kingdom's army had assembled, which greatly shortened the time to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
