Chapter 23 Surrounding the Enemy

The next day, Zhu Cixuan met Yuan Zongdi again. After leaving some supplies, he set off for Hao Yaoqi's place in Fang County. The distribution of the thirteen families in Kuidong was quite messy, and it would take a long time to visit them all. Zhu Cixuan thought for a long time and decided

We only proceed along the Yangtze River until we reach Li Laiheng. On the way back, we go to Wan County to see Santan, and then it is time to leave for Chengdu.

In Zhenyuan, Halabaersi was in a very unhappy mood. He received an order from Ji Xiha in the rear. Ji Xiha had no praise for his quick capture of Zhenyuan City, but instead scolded him for exchanging prisoners for maps.

"The Qing Dynasty was destined to become the lord of the Central Plains, not because of its kindness to the Han people, but because of the force of the Manchu-Mongolian alliance to suppress it. You indulged the rebels and failed to kill the Western thieves with a thunderous massacre. This is a big mistake. I thought you had merit in seizing the city.

This will not be the case next time. You must move west quickly and be the vanguard of the army. You must not be merciful as a woman. Also, why don't you report the number of casualties? There are no casualties in your department? You have been fighting for several years, and you have become so confused..."

"Damn Jiannu." Harabaersi cursed secretly. He did not dare to curse out loud. The Manchus tried their best to win over the upper class Mongolia, but they were not polite to lower-level Mongolians like him. Harabaersi was

Mele Zhangjing is equivalent to the deputy flag leader. He was originally not satisfied with Jixiha who fell from the sky as the leader of the Mongolian Zhenghong Banner, and now he is even more secretly resentful. "No one under me has died, could it be that I was created by him?"

.I used my troops like a god and captured Zhenyuan without any bloodshed. What's wrong with that? If I make some small mistakes and use them as excuses, I'll take all the credit for my achievements."

Hate returns to hate, Halabaersi has to act according to Ji Xiha's request. "It can be seen from the battle of Zhenyuan that the Western bandits are weak, the generals have no fighting spirit, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit. It seems that Sun Kewang defected, which made all the Western bandits lose their souls.

, we will no longer have the fighting power to maintain a stalemate with our Qing Dynasty for thousands of miles!" Harabaersi said to his generals, "Master Ji has an order, our troops will continue to advance westward in the future. Batu, take your subordinate Niu Lu to guard it.

Zhenyuan, be on guard against the unwilling Western thieves, and wait until Master Ji arrives before making arrangements."

At Leigong Mountain, Deng Ze and Master Ding met Liu Wenxiu who was setting up an ambush here.

After listening to Deng Ze and Master Ding's suggestions, Liu Wenxiu couldn't help but laugh. He felt that his whims were extremely whimsical. After thinking about it some more, it seemed that there was something feasible. "Eat Halabaersi. If he cooperates, Yinji Xi

Ha is more certain to take the bait. If he doesn't cooperate, Ji Xiha will be afraid and won't dare to do it again. Zhenyuan City has already made arrangements, and retaking it can only happen in a matter of seconds, why not give it a try?"

Looking at Deng and Ding who looked nervous and expectant, Liu Wenxiu said: "Luo Dashun really made a good start. His good plan was ruined by you." Seeing the disappointment on their faces, Liu Wenxiu said

Liu Wenxiu said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to try. As long as Harabaersi takes the bait, even if Jixiha's army is finally wiped out, I will let him go. The Mongols are better off than the Han people on the Tatar side. This

Harabaersi will be of great use in the future."

The two were overjoyed. Liu Wenxiu turned to Qi Sansheng and said: "Sansheng, go give this Mongolian Tatar a hard blow. Scatter them and capture more prisoners. I will also become a human trafficker, haha." After thinking about it.

After thinking about it, he warned again, "Catch them and don't let the old Jiannu Jixiha hear the news. Not a single Tatar can be released to Zhenyuan."

Qi Sansheng was in charge of Sichuan military affairs when Liu Wenxiu attacked Baoning. He was a good general with both wisdom and courage. Sun Kewang rebelled, and Qi Sansheng unwaveringly supported Yongli. He led his army to serve the king, attracting a large number of Sun Kewang's troops, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Xianning.

.Historically, Qi Sansheng surrendered to Wu Sangui after Yongli fled Burma, and eventually became the second minister. However, his benefactor Liu Wenxiu was dead at that time, and Li Dingguo was quite harsh on Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu's old troops. Qi Sansheng was dissatisfied with this, so

He never fought to the end. Now that there is no dispute between the two kings of Jin and Shu, and the situation in Nanming has not deteriorated beyond control, Qi Sansheng was eager to perform his service, ordered his troops and horses, and headed east.

On the way, Deng Ze took the time to introduce the situation of Halabaersi to Qi Sansheng. "Harabaersi has about ten cattle records, all of which are Mongolian Tatars. Jinyi reported secretly that Halabaersi left a cattle record in Zhenyuan.

, those who can attack our army should be between 2,500 and 3,000."

Qi Sansheng nodded and said: "Guizhou is very mountainous, which is not conducive to the performance of the Tatar cavalry. The Mongolian Tatars do not have the ability to build slaves and fight on foot. It is easy to defeat them, but the king requires that not one person escape. Our cavalry is limited, so this

It’s difficult.”

Next to him, Master Ding interjected: "If the Tatars are defeated, their defeated troops will definitely flee eastward to Zhenyuan. My Dong Weng is between Zhenyuan and Yuqing. He can go around behind the Tatars at any time to cover the battlefield and block their eastward escape."

Qi Sansheng's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "In this way, the king's plan will be feasible."

Halabaersi's westward march went smoothly. He had captured a county town and three forts in succession, but still had zero heads or captures. The Ming troops he encountered all fled as soon as they touched the ground, without even giving him a chance to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

Only a barren camp and an empty warehouse for rats were left. At first, the Ming army fled, and he felt that he was invincible and intimidated Xiao Xiao. Gradually, he felt that something was wrong, and even felt a sense of humiliation.

. By luring the enemy so obviously, are you underestimating my IQ, Harabaersi?

"The Western thieves fled when they saw me. There must be an ambush ahead." In a newly occupied fort, Harabaersi said to several Niulu Erzhen, "Not a single battle was fought, not a single person was killed, and the warriors were all slack.

What if the Western thieves suddenly come out at this time? We can't go any further. As the Han people say, a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. I have decided to temporarily station here and report back to Lord Ji Xiha for his decision."

Niu Lu Ezhen, who was below, said: "Sir, since there is a scam ahead, why not go back to Shihe and make another plan? If the Western thieves attack in large numbers, this fortress cannot stop the cannons."

Before he finished speaking, someone already objected: "The descendants of Genghis Khan never give away the land they have already acquired. So what if there is an ambush ahead? The Han people are weak, how can they be the opponent of our Mongolian warriors?"

Harabaersi looked at this stupid young man as if he were a fool, and sneered at his second-rate remarks. How could the Han people hold down the Mongols for more than two hundred years if they were weak? That meant civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the Mongols would want to drink again.

Ma Huanghe, what are you dreaming about? If such a stupid young man really meets the elite of Xiying, he is afraid that he will not survive for a day.

Harabaersi waved his hand to stop the quarrel. "I have made up my mind, that's it."

On the third day, Halabaersi, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up. The messenger he sent came back. "Why so fast? Could it be that Mr. Ji has already arrived in Zhenyuan?" Without enough time to think about it, Halabaersi hurriedly got up and summoned him.

"Why are you alone? Where are the two people who went with you?"

"Sir, our back road was blocked. Han dog Luo Dashun was not trustworthy and blocked the front of Zhenyuan. We did not rush forward and thought about turning over from the small road. But the mountain road in Guizhou was too difficult to walk, and Ang Qin fell to death.

.When Zhuo Chi and I were about to go out, we encountered an ambush of Han dogs, and Zhuo Chi was caught. I ran fast so that I could get back..."

It was a bolt from the blue. Halabaersi no longer cared about what happened next. He had fallen into the trap. Luo Dashun had blocked his way back. There must have been Ming troops in front of him. Halabaersi stood up like crazy and boarded the

The Walled City looked to the west. Should he go or stay? Before he could make up his mind, a red flag had appeared in his field of vision. Following the red flag was the mighty Xiying army with no end in sight.

The hidden sentry did not warn, and was directly touched by the Ming army. Harabaersi looked at the Ming army's whole team, which was leisurely and leisurely, and slowly surrounded the fortress, but he still did not have the courage to give the order to fight.

"They have artillery!" The Ming army launched artillery one after another. The artillery was not big, mainly the squatting tiger cannon, which was enough to suppress the bows and arrows of the Meng Eight Banners. Before the sound of the cannons, the relaxed Meng Eight Banners were already in chaos in the fort.

There was a chaos, running around like headless flies. Harabaersi and his soldiers tried their best to suppress it, and finally managed to control the situation. More than two thousand Mongolian Eight Banners suppressed their panic, stood on the fortress, and decided to fight to the death.
