Chapter 611 Battle of Songshan 17

Lu Xiangsheng gathered the soldiers of the ancestral army in Jinzhou City and obtained nearly 6,000 soldiers. Among them, more than 1,200 cavalrymen were divided into three teams of basically the same number by Lu Xiangsheng.

Four hundred of them were commanded by Zu Kuan and were in charge of the rear of the palace. Four hundred people were led by Yang Zhen to explore the way forward. The rest were scattered on both wings and slowly walked to help maintain the formation. There were more than a hundred whistle riders who had been scattered, and they swam far away, allowing all the movements and stills of dozens of miles in their eyes.

The remaining five thousand soldiers were infantry, but nearly a thousand mules and horses were handed over by Lu Xiangsheng to the injured and weak for transportation. He divided the remaining infantry into four teams, each with one thousand people, and one of them was intercepted by him in the central army. The remaining three teams moved forward in turn, constantly changing positions, and the front team attacked the fort.

Ajige deployed many people along the way, but the largest group was the Guangning Zhongtun site located on the main road. Even if he transferred 6,000 cavalry, there were still 3,000 infantry there. If he had been strictly guarded, it would be impossible for the Ming army to pass.

But the stupidity of the general in the fort helped the big gang. After Ajige left, all the Qing army thought that the threat had been resolved. Although they did not go back to sleep directly, they no longer had the urgency that was about to be war-in-combat.

When the Qing army saw a large number of troops coming, the first feeling that the Qing army generals had returned or that soldiers from other places had been transferred. Most of the soldiers under Lu Xiangsheng were wearing the Qing army's armor. After a false speech that had been made up, the leader opened the fort gate without any precaution.

The Ming army rushed forward and chased the Qing army everywhere.

As the saying goes, the defeat of the Qing army was as bad as a mountain of defeat, and the unprepared Qing army was killed and defeated for a moment.

Although some Qing soldiers tried their best to resist, the number was too small to change the defeat. As more and more Ming troops rushed into the fort, the Qing troops fled, trampled on each other, and corpses were buried. Except for some who jumped down from the fort wall, most of them were killed by the Ming army.

Lu Xiangsheng easily captured this must-pass place on the way to retreat west, making the soldiers of the ancestors admire him and admire him. This undoubtedly increased his personal prestige and control over this temporary pieced-up army, and greatly enhanced the cohesion of his soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng only let his soldiers rest for one stick of incense and burned the fortress with fire and continued to evacuate westward. The fire soared into the sky and could be seen within dozens of miles. A large amount of baggage piled up like a hill, and they all turned into ashes in the fire.

Afterwards, the Ming army even broke nearly ten battalions. There were not many Qing troops there, and many people saw the Ming army coming, and they suddenly scattered birds and beasts.

Although there were some sporadic resistance, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly passed by.

Morale is like a rainbow and full of fighting spirit, without the rush that should have when he is in the heart of the enemy.

The sky is brighter and the sun is rising, and beams of light are passing through the mountains and forests.

The place where Lu Xiangsheng is located is a small hill north of Songshan. The soldiers who ran and fought for a night were exhausted and leaned against each other and sat on the ground.

Countless fires lit up around, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat. Although the soldiers who were drinking cold water, eating pancakes, and gnawing on barbecue had a sore legs, the taste was really comfortable.

Zu Keyong came from a distance and handed Lu Xiangsheng a piece of meat that had been roasted and wrapped in leaves, saying, "Master Lu, eat some! I ran all night and was already hungry and I was touching my back."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded with a smile, took the piece of meat, and asked, "How are the emotions of brothers?"

Zu Keyong laughed and said, "It's very good. Killing the Qing army all the way, this is really comfortable. Supervisor, you don't know how much they were angry with them in Jinzhou. This time I beat them up so hard, even if I die directly." As he said that, he picked up the sheepskin bag on his waist and fed it.

Lu Xiangsheng smelled a scent of wine, "Is it wine in it?"

"Why, the supervisor wants to drink?"

Lu Xiangsheng took it, drank a small sip, and said with a smile: "The wine in Liaodong is too strong. When I return to Daming this time, I will give you a few cans of wine from my hometown. It is soft and slender, worth a drink."

Zukeyong waved his hand and said, "That kind of wine is tasteless! It's not like this. A fire rises in his heart after a sip. This is really a good wine!"

Lu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment and smiled softly, "You said so."

Zu Keyong was straightforward and blurted out his words. After he spoke it out, he realized that the person in front of him was the Ming Dynasty. But what he didn't expect was that Lu Xiangsheng would respond like this, with his relaxed words and no concern for his straightforward answer. He touched the back of his head and felt a little embarrassed. In order to break the embarrassment, he asked: "Mr. Lu, do you think we can successfully withdraw from the Ming realm this time?"

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head gently and said, "To be honest, I don't know either. But we have no way out now, we can only try our best to move forward, right?"

Zu Keyong was stunned for a moment, then said loudly: "The Supervisor is right. Since there is no way out, we will keep moving forward and tear apart a way out. Even if we die here in the end, the direction we head should be my Ming Dynasty."

Lu Xiangsheng smiled, generous and generous, and he was like this at the beginning.

Zu Kuan and Yang Zhen walked away from a distance and saw Lu Xiangsheng, and hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Zu Kuan first said: "The commander, the grandson of Ajige, who is chasing him, has nearly 5,000 people, all of whom are cavalrymen, and there are about ten miles away."

Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "Since Ajige came here so soon, it means that General Cao should have evacuated safely. Deputy General Yang, where are you!"

Yang Zhen bowed and said, "A Qing army came from the west side, with about 4,000 people, infantry and cavalry numbers." It was about fifteen miles away. The name of Beizishuotou, Gushan."

Lu Xiangsheng pondered for a moment and said, "The two Qing troops were only twenty-five miles apart, and I think they had a connection with each other. Although Ajige arrived first, he would definitely wait until he met Shuotou before attacking. Although our army seized hundreds of horses in the Qing army fort, the cavalry is still less than 1,500. We must not confront the Qing army in the plains. We can only stick to this place first and then find the momentum to defeat the enemy.

"Zu Kuan, Deputy General Yang, have you seen the two jungles on the south side? It is about four or five miles away from here. You each lead a cavalry to hide it in it. If I raise the Ming army flag on this mountain, you will launch an attack. Remember, you must not order me, and no matter how urgent the matter is, you must not attack at will."

Yang Zhen received the order, but Zu Kuan quit. "Governor Lu, the enemy's troops are twice as powerful as me. It's too dangerous for you to stay here, so your subordinates will be responsible for commanding the soldiers to stand firm!"
