Chapter 653: The annihilation of glory and shame

Tianxiong Army was immediately surrounded and divided into several sections by the Qing army. Lu Xiangsheng and his personal soldiers also engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Qing army. Lu Xiangsheng was an anomaly among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty. He was proficient in battlefield skills, strong in body and martial arts. There were more than a dozen Qing army killed by him today. However, a single tiger could not fight against a group of wolves, and the troops around Lu Xiangsheng were fewer and fewer, and now there were only a hundred people left.

"Master! The Tartars are coming up again." The captain of the personal soldiers beside him reminded Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng withdrew his gaze, glanced at his personal captain, and looked around him. The personal soldiers were all yellow in their faces and were hungry for a few days. They all abandoned the heavy weapons they usually use and replaced them with lighter weapons such as swords and guns.

Lu Xiangsheng sighed in his heart and said calmly: "Guan Yu cut off his head and Ma Yuan wrapped his body, it's time!" Then he shouted and rushed over first.

Lu Xiangsheng rode a horse and charged forward with great enthusiasm, but he was a Ming Dynasty minister who governed the world! Now he had to fight with the Qing army soldiers with his sword and shield. That figure was so sad, so tragic, and so lonely!…

On December 11, 11th of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the Tianxiong army fought alone. The commander Lu Xiangsheng also rushed into the formation with his sword, killing more than ten enemies. Finally, he was shot and killed two arrows and fell off his horse. He was only 39 years old at the time. Lu Xiangsheng died generously and heroically, and was praised by the world, but his sacrifice did not have any impact on the entire situation of the war. Even in the original history, the Qing Dynasty's history books did not regard the Battle of Jiazhuang as an important battle. No record was made.

With the death of the Governor Lu Xiangsheng in battle, the tiger was powerful, and Yang Guozhu also led his personal soldiers to flee in panic. In the end, more than 5,000 soldiers gathered together less than 1,000. The Tianxiong Army, created by Lu Xiangsheng, was also wiped out in this battle. In comparison, the Qing army suffered less than 200 casualties in this battle. This shows the huge difference in strength between the two sides. Of course, Gao Qiqian's food cuts was also "indestructible". This was the first time that the author saw a strange thing about friendly troops cutting off friendly troops. It was really crazy in the late Ming Dynasty!

Lu Xiangsheng was a minister with outstanding character and ability in the late Ming Dynasty. However, due to the style of the Shilin and Lu Xiangsheng's own ideology at that time, he still committed a lot of stains in this battle of entry. However, in the end, Lu Xiangsheng also used his life and blood to clean up these stains.

However, Lu Xiangsheng, who had been sleeping in the ground for a long time, didn't know that there were still people who wanted him to die with his eyes open. I won't mention this for the time being, and this will be described in detail later in the article.

Just when Lu Xiangsheng died in his country, in Gaoqian's camp in Shunde Prefecture, Yang Tinglin was still begging Gao Qiqian: "Eunuch Gao! I hope you can lend a helping hand and mobilize troops to help Lu's army come here!"

After failing to seek help, Yang Tinglin had already put the conditions to the lowest level, hoping that Gao Qiqian would send some troops to rescue Lu Xiangsheng alone. Gao Qiqian was forced by Yang Tinglin and had no choice. His lips squirmed a few times. Just as he was about to agree, he heard a personal soldier hurriedly running in outside the tent. As soon as the personal soldier entered the tent, he knelt down and replied: "Mr. Supervisor! Recruiting the horse, the entire army of the Supervisor Lu was defeated, and the Tatars had gathered the entire army and siege him."

The people in the tent were shocked, and even Gao Qiqian stood up from the chair in shock. He shouted in the voice of the duck: "Get together quickly! Master Lu did not listen to the advice of the miscellaneous families, so this would be the case. Otherwise..."

As soon as he said this, Yang Tinglin, who was beside him, rushed up with red eyes and immediately entangled with Gao Qiqian. The general in the tent quickly stepped forward to separate the two people. Yang Tinglin still shouted hysterically: "Eunuch! This world is in your hands. You must die well! You have no son or grandson!"

Then Yang Tinglin broke free from the hand of the general and pointed at the general in the tent and cursed: "You all don't save me when you die! There are really no grand soldiers in the three armies, and the entire camp is full of eunuchs. I am ashamed to be with you."

"Hahaha--!" Yang Tinglin laughed to the sky like crazy, then said in a whole costume, "Mr. Lu, wait for the students, the students are here alone!" After that, Yang Tinglin walked out of the tent without looking back, and rushed to the battlefield with the guards arranged by Lu Xiangsheng to him.

With Yang Tinglin leaving, the tent was silent, and the generals felt a little ashamed. Many of them were blushing and speechless, and a feeling of sadness arising from the death of a rabbit and a fox.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the tent was quite dull, Gao Qiqian said hoarsely: "All the family..., the family...!" But he also felt that he could not explain anything. In the end, Gao Qiqian could only change the topic: "Come the troops and retreat overnight!"

The Tianxiong Army led by Lu Xiangsheng was defeated, which first caused Gao Qiqian's fear and anxiety. As it turned out, he might be a PR expert, a military theorist and a lucky general, but he was definitely not a qualified commander. And at this time, Gao Qiqian had been relying on was also used up.

The eunuch Gao Qi, the military supervisor, was in the camp he commanded, and without hesitation, refused the request for help from the counselor Yang Tinglin, under Lu Xiangsheng. Even the general Zu Kuan's rescue suggestion was severely rejected by him. When he received the news that Lu Xiangsheng had died in battle, he immediately pulled the camp and retreated.

Eunuch Gao was not afraid of Lu Xiangsheng's death, but was panicked that the Qing army was so close to him, fearing that he would suffer the same fate as Lu Xiangsheng's troops. So tens of thousands of troops rushed to withdraw. This was already in chaos and prone to chaos. On the way to withdraw, small groups of troops continued to collapse. However, at this time, our Eunuch Gao was no longer caring about anything.

This army of 40,000 people had only walked less than fifteen miles. On the way, suddenly a Tartar ambush suddenly rose. Gao Qiqian first avoided the war, and then retreated in panic. The morale of the army was no longer up to the point, and the whole army was in a panic. Suddenly, an ambush suddenly broke down, and the total 40,000 people immediately dispersed like a pile of sand.

Gao Qiqian fled to Zhending Mansion by himself, and these 40,000 soldiers were all border soldiers from Guanning and Xuanda, and they can also be called the most elite of the Ming army. From the Battle of Lugou Bridge to Shunde Mansion, the entire army had never fought, and had not been fired, and it was defeated when it encountered the enemy. In disguise, the entire army was wiped out. In fact, the so-called ambush was just two thousand partial divisions of the Qing army.

The most unlucky one was General Wang Pu. When he led his army to Gao Qiqian's camp, he thought it would be safe. In the future, he would be able to achieve success by relying on the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Minister of War Yang Sichang and the Eunuch Gao Qiqian. Unexpectedly, he had just left the wolf's nest and entered the tiger's den again!

Anyway, Lu Xiangsheng and Gaoqian's troops disappeared in either glorious or shameful ways. Now, except for the Beijing camp and the king-supporting troops around the capital, except for Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army and the Runing army that had just arrived in Cangzhou, there is no more Ming army in the northern Zhili that can fight in the field.

After the Qing army destroyed these two Ming troops, they immediately joined forces to encircle and suppress the last nearby Ming army, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army. However, when Dorgon led his army to the Ruzhou Army's camp, he was stunned. In just a few days, the Ruzhou army had built its own camp into a city. Yu Zilian was really meticulous in imitating Wu Shigong! Even the Turtle Liu was learned by him.

However, when Yu Zilian saw the siege of the Qing army, he was also panicked. He sent messengers to all directions overnight to ask for help from the nearby Ming army.

Although the Qing army had exceeded 20,000 at this time, and the number was twice that of the Ruzhou army, they came to the pass to grab property and population, not to destroy the Ming army, so Dorgon would never attack the Ruzhou army's camp with the loss of the troops.

So the Qing army first used red cannons, trying to break the Ruzhou army's earthen city by breaking the city. However, the Qing army had artillery and the Ruzhou army also had artillery. Anyway, who was afraid of whom, they were just bombarding each other. But this pair of bombings made Dorgon retreat again. The Qing army's artillery was of great use, and it would be used to attack the Ming Dynasty's cities in the future! I was reluctant to lose it in the artillery battle in vain!

Then use the trick of driving the Han people to attack the city! But when Dorgon sent troops to capture the people of the Ming Dynasty nearby, the harvest was also very small. These days, the Qing army and the three Ming armies of Lu, Gao and Yu fought here, and the people nearby had already escaped.

But Dorgon could not have besieged the Ruzhou army for a long time! So the Qing army could only leave regrets. After gathering all the small groups of Qing troops, they took the initiative to retreat and began the next stage of military operations.

The Ruzhou Army, an army that was almost forgotten by the court, fought with the Qing army in the process of serving the king and did not suffer any losses. Although the Qing army did not pay attention to the good luck of the Ruzhou Army, the result was not easy to obtain. Of course, after the Qing army retreated, the messenger sent by Yu Zilian could not recover it.

On December 16th, the army camp of Ruzhou in Hejian Prefecture.

"The Ming Dynasty is about to perish! The sky is about to collapse! The country is not a country!" Zhou Junwu went crazy in Wu Shigong's tent with tears in his nose. He sometimes hit the head against the big case, and sometimes threw things on the big case around.

Wu Shigong and Li Lu held their hands in their chests and smiled as they watched Zhou Junwu making trouble. They didn't come forward to persuade him, but just waited for Zhou Junwu to vent.

"Brother-in-law! Why is this person like this?" Li Lu asked strangely.

"How do I know? This man has a relationship with me. He was brought back by a boy who went out to explore, but he looked like this after he came back. I only asked after he was calm." Wu Shigong replied, "But Brother Li, what are you doing to deal with madmen?" (To be continued.
