"What! Since the Ming army has captured Lin County, Lu'an Prefecture must have been lost, but why was there no news before?"
Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda were shocked and looked at each other.
"Reporting to the deputy general, the cavalry of the Ming Army seized Linlu Mountain and Tianping Mountain in the west of Lin County in advance, blocking the transportation between Lu'an and Lin County, so no news came."
Chen Yuan was excited and said with a sad face: "Brother Zhang, what should we do?"
However, Zhang Enda had an idea, "Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy. We must quickly lead the army across the Huan River and withdraw towards Liaozhou."
The two generals did not dare to delay for a moment and led their troops to the south bank of Huan River. They only cried out in pain and saw that Ming troops were stationed on the north bank of Huan River.
Li Zhanchun, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and Yang Bingyin's 10,000 troops had been waiting for a long time. Since Fan Youxian had made up his mind to kill the Qing army Chen Yuan and Zhang Enda's troops, how could he not fortify Huanshui?
The two of them felt cold. In desperation, the trapped beast continued to fight, so they ordered their men to build more rafts and fight to the death to cross the river.
"Kill~kill~kill~"
Smoke and dust billowed, but it was Qian Qianyi in Anyang City who discovered that the Qing army besieging the city wanted to escape, so he sent ten thousand troops and horses including Wang Zhigang, Yan Xiaoyong, Luo Lun, Zhao Qian and Lu Wenye to pursue them.
Zhang Enda gritted his teeth and said, "My dear brother, it's urgent! I'm here to stop the Ming army. You can quickly cross the river and fight for a way out for the whole army!"
Huanshui River is stained red with blood.
On the south bank, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were fighting each other, and Zhang Enda tried his best to block the Ming army.
In the river, thousands of rafts braved artillery and arrows to rush to the shore. Chen Yuan tried his best. He knew that if he could not cross the river, the whole army would be destroyed.
He was also inspired to fight and fought without fear of his own life.
Rows of bamboo rafts docked.
There were iron caltrops everywhere on the shore, and soldiers were pricked in the feet from time to time.
After finally rushing to the Ming army, there was a wide trench.
Chen Yuan had no choice but to order his men to fill the trenches while firing at each other across the trenches with the Ming army.
"“, "," 呯 呯 呯 ", the person in the middle, the unlucky ghost was shot into the ditch, and became part of the trench.
"Commander, the Qing army is crossing the river," the scout reported to Fan Youxian. At this time, more than 30,000 of his troops had arrived at the south bank of Huan River.
"Instruct all troops to immediately destroy the enemies on the south bank, and then attack the Tatars on the north bank."
"Kill", "kill", "kill"??
More than 30,000 Ming troops roared towards the Qing army, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger.
The Qing army Zhang Enda's troops fought fiercely with the Anyang Ming army for a long time, but they were already at the end of their crossbows. They could no longer resist more than 30,000 tigers and wolves, and were killed in pieces.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill to avenge the brothers who died in Lin County." Lu Wen roared like a wild tiger and rushed towards Zhang Enda's flag.
Thinking of so many old Luo Jiao brothers who died in the battle in Lin County, Liu Zheng and Pan Hu's eyes turned red, and they followed Lu Wenye closely, like three killing gods.
"Go to hell!"
Zhang Enda roared and killed a Ming soldier with his big gun. "Push!" The horse snorted and gasped for breath. The man was really tired and the horse was exhausted.
"Bang", gun to gun, Lu Wenye's big gun pressed against Zhang Enda's gun.
Zhang Enda was able to block it, but Liu Zheng's sword slashed down, and he dodged, but Pan Hu's spear came again.
With a "poof" stab, blood seeped out of the spear body.
The Ming army annihilated Zhang Enda's tribe and took bamboo rafts to the north bank of Huan River.
Chen Yuan was still unable to break through the defense lines of Li Zhanchun and Yang Bingyin, and the entire army was annihilated by the Huan River.
In the Battle of Huanshui, the Ming army annihilated nearly 20,000 Qing troops with less than 3,000 casualties, which was considered a great victory.
The victory of this battle lies not in resolving the siege of Anyang, but in annihilating a large number of the effective forces of the Qing army in Shanxi. The time is ripe to take all of Shanxi!
??
Fan Youxian discussed with Li Dingguo and decided to continue heading north to attack Liaozhou and Taiyuan.
Liaozhou is named after Jishan Mountain on the border of Liaoshan County. It is not big and there is Liaoyang Water beside the city.
"Report! The Ming army is less than thirty miles away from Liaozhou City."
After hearing this information, Yang Tianxi, the magistrate of Liaozhou, asked the garrison Hou Weitai: "Does Hou Weitai think that the military strength of the garrison battalion can stop the Ming army?"
All fools know that they can't hold on, but Yang Tianxi passed the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty. It's a bit embarrassing to take the initiative to surrender. I hope Hou Weitai will do it.
Unexpectedly, Hou Weitai was so cunning that he did not say the word "surrender" and only said lightly: "All generals will obey Yang Gong's orders."
Yang Tianxi had no choice but to sigh repeatedly. Just as he was preparing to surrender, Bo Yanzhen, a scholar from Liaozhou, barged in and said, "Zhizhou, the Ming army is approaching. What are your plans?"
Yang Tianxi rolled his eyes, "I am a disciple of the Emperor, so naturally I must defend Liaozhou and be loyal to the Emperor."
"Oh, Brother Yang is mistaken. Although you passed the imperial examination of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is a barbarian. Confucius said, 'It is better for the barbarians and barbarians to have kings than to perish.' You are a dignified Chinese people, but you are a barbarian and barbarian.
You must be loyal to the king, but this is foolish loyalty. You not only bear the teachings of the saints, but also receive the scorn of future generations. This is extremely stupid!"
Yang Tianxi pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "Oh, fortunately Bo Xuezheng gave me some advice, otherwise I would have almost forgotten China's defense and done something that would have shamed my ancestors because of the petty righteousness of the monarch and his ministers."
He said righteously: "When someone comes, I order the whole state to cut off their braids and change their flags to welcome Master Wang."
Naturally, the surrender must be thorough. Not only Liaozhou, the state capital, but also Heshun and Yushun counties under its jurisdiction have changed their banners, and a large amount of grain, grass and baggage have also been prepared.
Fan Yongxian was very satisfied with Yang Tianxi and praised him for his loyalty and sincerity. Then he continued to Taiyuan.
The Qing troops in Taiyuan were all on guard against Fenzhou, but they did not expect the Ming army to come from Liaozhou, causing great chaos and even losing Qi County and other six counties in southern Taiyuan.
Fan Youxian and his deputy general Shi Lin, who had previously been ordered to monitor Taiyuan, reunited with three thousand soldiers and horses and approached Taiyuan.
??
Taiyuan Prefecture, "controls the mountains and rivers, sits on the back of the world, is the foundation of Hedong, and is a battleground between ancient and modern times." It has a long history of more than 4,700 years.
In Yangqu County under the prefecture, Liu Wu, the general of the Qing Dynasty, and Wu Dan, the general of the Qing Dynasty, stared with big eyes and sighed.
Liu Wu shouted, "Brother Wu Xian, the hypocritical Fan Youxian, and Li Dingguo are all famous generals in the world, and they have many soldiers and horses. There are only nine thousand defenders in Taiyuan City, how can we hold it? It seems that the day for you and me to die for our country is coming."
Wu Dan sighed, "Brother Liu, it's easy to die. What about my concubine? Why don't we abandon Taiyuan and retreat northward!"
When he heard Wu Dan say, "What's the concubine at home?" Liu Wu thought of the dozen or so beautiful wives and concubines in his home, and immediately changed his mind, "Brother, you are right, let's prepare to evacuate north as soon as possible." The ancient Yangqu City opened the north gate. Liu Wu and Wu Dan were the first to leave the city, followed by a group of subordinates.
"It's bad, Headquarters, there are Ming troops ahead," the confidant suddenly shouted.
Liu Wu was shocked and saw smoke and dust billowing in front of him, "Huh? Why did the Ming army come from the north?"
When the smoke and dust dispersed, I took a closer look and saw that it was wrong. The other party was flying the green flag and it was one of our own.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
The Qing troops in the front team shouted in surprise.
"Da~da~da~"
A horse galloped in front of Liu Wu and Wu Dan. The knight on the horse was in his fifties, with a face like a crown jewel, eyes like lightning, and he was not angry but powerful.
"Shilang Jia, why are you here?" Generals Liu and Wu asked in surprise.
