"thump..."

Wu Sangui knelt down and looked at Wu Xiang who looked haggard. He had too many feelings in his heart.

Wu Sangui had no idea about the arrangement of Wu Zongrui and Liao Wenru. Tang Tong was originally the commander-in-chief of Miyun in the Ming Dynasty. After joining Li Zicheng, he became a brave general in the Dashun Army. He performed bravely in the battle to capture the capital and was reused by Li Zicheng. This

This time he alone led 50,000 Dashun Army sergeants to attack a stone pass. It should be said that facing such a person, Wu Zongrui would not show mercy, and Liao Wenru would not show mercy either. However, in order to save Wu Xiang, Wu Zongrui and Liao Wenru let Tang Tong go.

"General Wu, this place is too close to the Dashun Army's camp..."

Before the scout finished speaking, Wu Sangui stood up.

"Father, I have a heavy responsibility for you. Please forgive me. I will send a sergeant immediately to take you to a safe place..."

Before Wu Sangui could finish speaking, Wu Xiang bulged his eyes and spoke forcefully.

"Uncle Chang, after all, I was once the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan. How could I miss such an important battle? Well, you can command the army to fight. I won't cause any trouble for you."

Tang Tong stood aside, looking a little embarrassed. Although he rescued Wu Xiang as required, he betrayed the Ming Dynasty and helped the Dashun army capture the capital, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to hang himself. The Ming Dynasty also ceased to exist.

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, one's sins must be cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.

Wu Sangui looked at Tang Tong, who was quite embarrassed.

"Tang Tong, you rescued my father and are my benefactor, but that is a matter between you and me. I am the deputy general of the Denglai New Army and I am leading the army in battle. If you obey my orders, you will

Join the team and pick up weapons to kill the bandits. If you are not willing to participate in the fighting, I will send sergeants to take you to Shanhaiguan..."

After Tang Tong waved his hands repeatedly, he cupped his fists and saluted Wu Sangui.

"Don't you dare, General Wu, I will obey your command and be willing to participate in the battle."

Wu Sangui nodded indifferently.

"Well, Tang Tong, you used to be the commander-in-chief of Miyun in the Ming Dynasty, but that is all in the past. Since you are willing to obey my command, then you will be an ordinary sergeant in Denglai's new army. Fight well.

It doesn’t matter, you follow me.”

After saying these words, Wu Sangui stopped talking and looked at the messenger beside him and spoke.

"Order all the sergeants to evacuate south quickly, take with them the Dashun Army sergeants who are following, and tell them that they must act quickly. If they hesitate, don't blame me for being rude."

...

When the rumbling sound of cannons appeared again, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin were both a little numb.

For two consecutive days, he was unable to take a good rest. The bombardment of artillery shells caused a certain amount of casualties, but the most fatal thing was not the casualties of the sergeants, but the continuous flow of fleeing sergeants, as well as the inability to have a good rest, and the spirit was on the verge of collapse.

The sergeants, the soldiers just came to report that many sergeants were killed in the bombing in their sleep, and some sergeants have become nervous.

Tang Tong kidnapped Wu Xiang, and Liu Zongmin originally planned to send sergeants to pursue him, but just as the sergeants gathered to prepare for action, artillery shells roared in again, and the gathered sergeants had to disperse, and the planned pursuit came to nothing.

Both Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin's eyes were red.

A quarter of an hour passed and the surroundings became quiet again.

"Zong Min, what time is it now..."

Li Zicheng's voice became hoarse.

After Liu Zongmin asked the messenger beside him in a low voice, he answered.

"Report to the Emperor, it's almost time to be ugly."

Li Zicheng let out a long sigh. From the time he set up camp to now, he couldn't remember how many times he had been bombed. Each bombing didn't last long, but the interval was very short. Sometimes the interval was a quarter of an hour, and sometimes

Sometimes it was only a few minutes apart. The casualties caused by such bombings were not very large, but they were enough to prevent people from having a good rest.

Liu Zongmin proposed to move the camp, but Li Zicheng vetoed it. After dark, most of the Dashun Army's sergeants became blind. If they want to change camps, they must hold torches, so that in the dark night, they become blind.

The best target is that the Denglai New Army may bomb even more severely.

"Understood, let all the sergeants hold on for an hour. The Yinshi army sets off. It must rush to Yutian County before Shenshi. Yesterday, we received a report from the scouts. The army led by Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance has arrived in Jizhou. I want to come tomorrow.

The Lu army can meet up in Yutian County. At that time, I will strike back hard..."

Li Zicheng's words were very strong, but if you listen carefully, he didn't seem to have much confidence.

...

After four rounds of bombing, Yinshi finally arrived.

All the sergeants of Dashun Army set out again.

Fengrun County is only eighty miles away from Yutian County. Li Zicheng gave six hours of time, and each hour was less than fifteen miles of marching. Presumably, such a marching speed was nothing in Li Zicheng's opinion.

It's a pity that neither Li Zicheng nor Liu Zongmin noticed that most of the sergeants' movements were a bit slow. Their movements were either stiff or their bodies seemed to be disobedient. Most of them had no expression on their faces and could not see anything.

Blood color, what's more, many people's eyes are cloudy.

Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin had no intention of counting the number of people. They knew very well that the Dashun Army was at its most difficult moment, and there must be many sergeants who had deserted the team and fled. After years of fighting, they were used to it. The sergeants who could persist in this battle were

He will definitely become the most elite sergeant in the Dashun Army.

More than half an hour passed, and it was almost completely bright.

When the sound of the whistling shells came, Li Zicheng finally became furious. He pulled out the steel knife from his waist, turned his horse's head and was about to rush towards the rear, when he was tightly held by the soldiers around him.

"Son of a bitch, I will fight with you..."

The marching sergeants of Dashun Army turned into puppets. They no longer knew how to avoid the bombardment of artillery shells and walked forward numbly. Even if the sergeants beside them fell in a pool of blood, they would not turn around to take a look.

They seemed to have no consciousness and just kept walking forward in a daze.

...

"General Wu, this is the order from Governor Liao."

Wu Sangui nodded to the scout, took the letter, and quickly opened it.

As he watched, Wu Sangui's expression changed slightly. He had already made all the arrangements. He would launch a small-scale attack after Mao Shi to disrupt the marching speed and formation of the Dashun Army. It should be said that this was also the battle determined yesterday.

planning.

Seeing Wu Sangui's expression change, Wu Xiang spoke.

"Uncle, what's wrong? What's the order from Governor Liao?"

Wu Sangui put down the letter in his hand and sighed slightly.

"Captain Liao ordered me not to pay attention to the marching Dashun Army, and then arrive at Yutian County as quickly as possible, meet with General Qiao, and jointly launch an attack on the Dashun Army."

Wu Xiang nodded and spoke.

"Uncle, this is a good order."

"Father, you don't know that the sergeants of the Dashun Army are already in extreme fatigue. If I lead the troops to launch a small-scale attack on them at this time, their formation will be thrown into chaos and they will not be able to continue to hold on...

"

Wu Xiang shook his head and looked at Wu Sangui to speak.

"Uncle Chang, I have been in the ranks of the Dashun Army these days. This Hongyi cannon is so powerful that the bandits cannot rest at all. Their endurance has reached the limit. I think the bombing last night will make them

There was no way to sleep. Li Zicheng ordered the army to set off at the same time. Many bandits had collapsed and could not hold on. At this time, if you suddenly launched an attack, the bandits would definitely scatter and not head towards Yutian County. If Li Zicheng discovered

If the sergeant completely collapses, he may not choose to go to Yutian County, or even return to Fengrun County. If that happens, how should you deal with it."

Wu Sangui's eyes lit up and he quickly understood the reason.

"Father, you are right. Why didn't I think of this?"

Wu Xiang sighed slightly.

"Uncle Chang, actually I didn't think of this before. I have been detained in the capital these years. When I was bored, I read more books. In the past, I always felt that reading was of little use. We are generals and we only need to go into battle to fight. Now

It seems that it is beneficial to read more military books."

"When I was in the capital, I often heard comments about Lord Wu Zongrui, both good and bad. However, all the comments I heard were people who admired Lord Wu's ability. When Lord Wu was the governor of Denglai, he built a strong

The new army in Denglai made the Jin Tatars dare not enter Dengzhou and Laizhou at all. When Lord Wu served as the governor of the five provinces, he wiped out several bandits. The imperial court appointed Lord Wu as the governor of Jiliao, and Liaodong was completely stabilized.

No one can do well by being anyone else.”

"I'm not worried about you following Mr. Wu in doing things. I'm still secretly glad that my Wu family in Liaodong has finally found the best supporter."

"Before the rogues captured the capital, I specifically analyzed the situation in the world. I felt that the person who could completely defeat Li Zicheng would be able to control the world. Now it seems that only Master Wu can completely defeat Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong."

"Chang Bo, please remember that you must be loyal to Mr. Wu and never have any second thoughts. In today's world, there is no future for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. I think Li Zicheng will be completely destroyed by Denglai's new army soon."

After annihilation, the north will soon be stabilized. Next, Mr. Wu will definitely do his best to stabilize the situation in the south. When the situation in the south and the north is completely stabilized, Mr. Wu will completely solve the problem in Liaodong."

"If you follow Mr. Wu, do things well, and achieve enough military exploits, you will be guaranteed a lifetime of glory and wealth. You must seize such an opportunity."

"I am already old and I will have to rely on you in the future..."
