Chapter 696

Siming Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty included Xiamen Island, Gulangyu Island, Wuzhou (Great Kinmen), Lieyu (Little Kinmen) and other islands.

Zheng Zhiwan, the guard of Simingzhou, was from the clan of Zheng Zhilong. Zeng De was defeated and killed, and Zhangzhou fell. Zheng Zhiwan was shocked, and then he was helpless.

Such a powerful servant, Zeng De, was killed just like that?Zheng Zhiwan couldn't believe it.The fall of Zhangzhou was tantamount to removing the northern gate of Simingzhou. The sea battles were also repeatedly defeated, and several coastal defense lines were lost.How can Siming hold on like this?
At this time, the young general Liu Guoxuan asked to see him. He was the only general who had returned from defeat in Zhangzhou, and his position in the army was a guerrilla general.

Zheng Zhiwan saw that the young man was also very good-looking, with a heroic brow, a broad forehead, a tall head, and a slender waist and arms.

Liu Guoxuan saluted: "See you, Your Excellency."

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, the last general is not talented, and I would like to lead a team to fight again."

Having just returned from defeat in Zhangzhou, Zheng Zhiwan was a little disdainful when he wanted to ask for orders to lead troops into battle, "Are you sure you can win?"

"My lord, if you are invincible, you are willing to be a military order."

"Okay, how many troops do you want?" Zheng Zhiwan saw his swearing, and was moved by his spirit of not admitting defeat and daring to fight.

"5000 troops are enough."

"The headquarters will give you 5000 elite soldiers."

"Thank you, my lord."

Liu Guoxuan left Zheng Zhiwan's camp and ordered 5000 soldiers. The composition of these 5000 troops is quite special. The 4000 men and horses are elite soldiers, used to charge and fight, and [-] belong to the supply battalion, or logistics battalion.

When going out to fight, they have to eat and sleep. These 1000 people are responsible for the life, supplies, and logistics services of these 4000 people.

After ordering all the soldiers and horses, Liu Guoxuan took them out of Sizhou Prefecture in a mighty way, and met Zhu Yousong's forward after more than 50 li, which was Liu Zhaoji's men.

The two sides set up a battle in the wilderness, basically 5000 against 5.

Liu Guoxuan also used Zeng De's old fighting method to set up a formation, and then urged the horse to scold in front of the formation, preparing for a one-on-one challenge.

Liu Zhaoji saw that he could not be fooled this time, nor could he underestimate the enemy. He knew Liu Guoxuan was brave, so he did not challenge him one-on-one.

Liu Guoxuan had no choice but to order the archers to release arrows first. Among the 5000 soldiers with 500 archers, arrows rained down on the Ming army.

"Raise the shield!" Liu Zhaoji put the shield holders in front. After a crackling sound, the arrows flying over fell one after another, but the bows and arrows penetrated everywhere, and many soldiers of the Ming army were still shot down.

Liu Zhaoji waved his broadsword like flying, dodging the rain of arrows, and quickly rushed to the enemy camp, like chopping melons and vegetables.

Under his leadership, countless soldiers of the Ming army rushed into the enemy camp, and their bows and arrows lost their effect.

At this time, Liu Guoxuan ordered to adjust the formation and put the supply battalion at the front.This is a logistics battalion of 5000 people, mainly food, tents, gongs and drums, military stoves, etc.

Then he withdrew with the rest of the troops, saying that to withdraw was actually to run.

His supply battalion was only 1000 people, and even 5000 men and horses could not withstand the attack of Liu Zhaoji's tens of thousands of troops, let alone the [-] logistics battalion?

These soldiers are cart pushers, cattle drivers, cookers, mother feeders, and guarders of grain and grass.They were supposed to serve and fight, but now they are sent directly to the battlefield.

This President Qian scolded his mother straight away, scolding Liu Guoxuan for his lanugo hair, not knowing that the soldiers are still acting blindly, you all ran away, let us go to die?Fuck you, you still hit a dick, I run away too!

The thousand soldiers and horses saw that the high-ranking officials ran away first, and even fought a begging battle, so let's all run away, our lives were also given by our parents, not by the strong wind.

Therefore, all the 1000 men and horses became deserters, and in order to escape for their lives, they lost all the grain and grass carts, armors, knives and guns, gongs and drums, tents, livestock, pots, pans and spoons, etc.

Liu Zhaoji commanded the Ming army to pursue and pick up spoils at the same time. This time, the pace of the Ming army's pursuit became slow and chaotic. Some even shouted and shouted in order to grab the spoils. They killed each other.

When Liu Zhaoji saw this, how decent was it?If the thieves set up an ambush here, our army will undoubtedly be defeated, so he immediately issued an order to prohibit picking up the spoils of war, and to chase and wipe out the thieves with all their strength.

However, it was too late, just as Liu Zhaoji said, a cannon rang, ambushes broke out everywhere, and countless soldiers and horses came from both sides. The leader was a young general with silver helmets and silver armor, a white horse and a long halberd. It was like Lu Bu was reborn.

It turned out that Liu Guoxuan didn't run away, he ran a few miles with his men and horses, and lay in ambush on both sides of the road.

This was his tactic to lure the enemy. He predicted that the supply battalion would be defeated, and the defeat was very embarrassing, and that the Ming army would inevitably chase them and grab the spoils, which would inevitably cause chaos. Sure enough, everything was within his expectations.

What he grasped was this opportunity. Seeing that the Ming army was picking up his spoils, some of them even had disputes.So he came out with his men and horses.

Instead, the Ming army was caught off guard, and some were cut down before they dropped the spoils in their hands.

Liu Guoxuan's Fang Tian painted a halberd in his hand, dancing like flying, the swords and guns of the Ming soldiers who were killed flew around, and the corpses rolled.

When Liu Guoxuan was showing his prestige, he met Liu Zhaoji. Liu Zhaoji was very skilled in martial arts, but no matter who he was compared with, he was no match for the bloody Liu Guoxuan in terms of military strength, and he was still injured. It was during the Zhangzhou battle. After receiving Zeng De's sword, he has not fully recovered.Therefore, he was no match for Liu Guoxuan.

Before going out of Wuhe, Liu Guoxuan dropped his helmet with a halberd, and his hair was messed up. Liu Zhaoji was so frightened that he jumped out of his body and ran away.

Liu Guoxuan urged his horse to shake his halberd, and chased after him.In this battle, 4000 troops defeated the Ming army, which was ten times larger than the enemy.

After Zhu Yousong got the report, Liu Guoxuan, who is so powerful, was able to completely turn over the Minister of War of the Ministry of War at a young age. It seems that the history is not wrong. He is indeed a talent. I want to capture him alive.

Of course Zhu Yousong knew who this Liu Guoxuan was.Historically, he was a subordinate of Zheng Chenggong. He joined the army at the age of 15 and was brave and resourceful.Follow Zheng Chenggong to fight against the Qing army and recover Taiwan.He has made outstanding achievements and has a great reputation.Later, he was captured alive by Shi Lang and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

In this defeat, the Ming army lost tens of thousands of horses, and the Ming army had only more than 4 soldiers capable of fighting. Zhu Yousong still did not blame Liu Zhaoji, and already had a strategy in mind to surrender Liu Guoxuan.

He asked Liu Zhaoji's soldiers to retreat 15 miles, set up camp and set up the imperial camp there, and did not go out to fight. He also sent people to raise food everywhere, creating the illusion that the army was short of food.

Then an order was sent to Liu Zhaoji, that the camp was not well defended, and they should show them a loophole for the thieves to attack.

"Your Majesty, can Liu Guoxuan come to be fooled?" Xiao Liu asked.

Zhu Yousong said with a smile: "The army is short of food, and its morale is not stable. He Liu Guoxuan is a man who knows how to fight. He will definitely come to steal the camp and rob the village. When the time comes, he will definitely come to rob my imperial camp. Just wait and see. !"
