Chapter 94 Destiny

Although Zhang Wenhuan chose to suppress the enemy at the first time, if the camp roar could be suppressed, the generals of all dynasties would not be as tempted by the camp roar as if they were talking about it. They could not distinguish things in the darkness. Once the dissatisfaction accumulated by the soldiers was vented, it would be like a flood and a beast. Although Zhang Wenhuan's personal soldiers shouted desperately and conveyed the order that everyone was not allowed to move, no one paid any attention. Some rioters found the target and attacked Zhang Wenhuan's personal soldiers. Fortunately, Zhang Wenhuan's personal soldiers immediately retreated after they found something wrong, otherwise they would be very likely to be trapped in it and could not get out.

The torch of the general Zhang Wenhuan's tent was illuminated as daytime. His personal soldiers held the weapons tightly. All the riots that attacked the tent of the general were killed. Hundreds of riots had fallen around them, but the fight in the middle of the camp did not stop, but instead became increasingly fierce.

The fire shone on Zhang Wenhuan's face, his face as white as paper. He knew that the army was over, and there would not be many people who could stay after dawn.

After the midnight battle, the sky finally dawned, and the entire camp was silent, with corpses everywhere. Some living Qing soldiers also looked dull and looked like walking corpses. Only then did Zhang Wenhuan's personal soldiers dare to go out and start to clean up the mess. Under the command of Zhang Wenhuan's personal soldiers, the entire camp regained a little angry. The soldiers began to clean up the bodies. There were too many people and they could only cover them on the spot. There were figures of digging pits everywhere in the camp.

"General, there are only more than 1,500 people left in the camp, and more than 3,000 people died last night." After more than an hour of busyness, the captain of the personal soldiers reported to Zhang Wenhuan sadly.

Zhang Wenhuan felt a trace of fishy sweetness gushing out of his throat. He couldn't help but open his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

"General! General!" Several personal soldiers quickly supported Zhang Wenhuan's body and shouted.

Half an hour later, the Qing army buried the body, and the team ignored the camp and left it. The direction was opposite to that of Qixia County. When the team came, it was fierce and loud, but when it left, it was a little miserable and miserable. Even the chief general had to be carried by several people.

It was not until the Qing army's team went far away. Zheng Sen and others rode their horses to the abandoned camp of the Qing army. It was densely packed with new tombs, which made everyone secretly shocked.

Liu Guoxuan kicked the Qing army without removing the ground gate. A loud thud came from the door post. Liu Guoxuan hugged his legs and shouted in pain, and everyone else laughed.

"Sir. Is this Qing dog just leaving?" One person asked in disbelief. Twenty of them blocked an army of 5,000 people, and at least half of the enemy was killed or injured. The result of this battle was too amazing.

"What else can you do if you don't leave? If you go to Qixia County with the remaining land, the rebels can deal with them now. Besides, they think that our landlords are still in Qixia."

"The adults are right. What should we do next? If we follow us, the dog will definitely hate us. If we find us, we will definitely pursue us desperately. Now we don't mess with this hornet's nest."

Although there were five thousand enemies in the past, they were eager to march towards Qixia County. When they encountered obstacles, they could only send a team to drive them away. They would not spend too much energy. But now they marched towards Qixia County to completely go bankrupt. There were more than a thousand people in the Qing army. If these more than a thousand people pursued them desperately, everyone was shivering by the scene depicted by Zheng Sen.

"What should we do?"

"Let's go. Let's find a safe place to rest. Let's wait until the next team of Qingdogs arrives before taking action."

"Yes, sir." Everyone answered extremely loudly. There was a gust of wind in this place. Even in broad daylight, they didn't want to stay. Everyone stepped on their horses and disappeared in front of them soon.

The vanguard troops roared, and 70% of their troops were injured and killed. When they heard the news, Kong Youde's eyes were dull and could not speak for a long time. After awakening, Kong Youde was extremely furious. These five thousand people were half of Kong Youde's current military force. His position was already in danger, and he was about to be suppressed by Geng Zhongming. He ignored Zhang Wenhuan who had followed him for more than 20 years and immediately ordered his personal soldiers to kill Zhang Wenhuan with his sword. After everyone tried hard to persuade him, he changed to a fine of fifty military sticks.

Three days later, Kong Youde's army appeared outside Qixia County. Kong Youde learned his lesson this time and sent hundreds of the most elite cavalry to open the way in front. When he met Zheng Sen and others, he would bite him up regardless of the downs. He went into the mountains and into the forests. This was indeed effective. Although Zheng Sen and others caused a large number of casualties to the Qing army in the pursuit, they had to stay away from the main road and could not threaten Kong Youde's army.

Kong Youde's army successfully arrived in Qixia County, but his 10,000 troops were reduced to more than 6,000, which delayed for another three or four days. The rebel army had already been strictly prepared. Kong Youde thought that he would surround the main force of the rebel army and was reluctant to consume his troops anymore, so he adopted the tactic of siege.

Laizhou, after several days of fierce attack by the rebel army, it was already in danger. Laizhou is also a mansion. The city is high and thick, and the walls are brought to sea water as a moat. Xie Qian and others have made arduous preparations. Unexpectedly, the Qing army at the top of the city was as soft as a flower. The rebel army was under the city for four days, and most of the first three days spent filling the moat. The real attack began today, and the Qing army was already unable to resist.

The prefect of Laizhou was Zhang Sizhi. Zhang Sizhi was once a Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty. He claimed to be a dissenter. He was appreciated by Chongzhen and was also a prince's army. Unfortunately, he was stupid in his studies and was extremely pedantic. Chongzhen, who had only been a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet for five months, could not stand it. In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he was dismissed and returned home.

Although Zhang Sizhi was pedantic, his official addiction was extremely great. As soon as the Qing army entered the capital, he immediately surrendered. Unfortunately, the Qing relatives and nobles also looked down on his old remarks. They only gave him the title of Laizhou magistrate because he had been a Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Sizhi was not too young and took office happily.

When he arrived in Laizhou, Zhang Sizhi showed his expertise as an official, as if he was a clay carving and wooden sculpture. He didn't care about everything. Every day, he just searched for a few sages who were the same as him to drink and have fun, write poems and lyrics. He was panicked when he heard the rebel army surrounded Laizhou. No matter how pedantic he knew that the Qing officials who had fallen into the hands of the rebel army had no good end. Finally, he stopped drinking and singing peace with several sour literati, and issued a reward pattern to inspire officers and soldiers at all levels to defend the city.

However, this temporary cramming action only briefly aroused the defenders' will to resist. Once they discovered that the rebels' attack was fierce, many Qing troops' will immediately retreat. The morale in the city was depressed and they began to escape. It was useless to let Zhang Si know how to cheer him up, and the fall was in the evening.

"Attack, attack." The rebels under the city shouted, but the butcher Zheng climbed up to the top of the city, and the wooden stick in his hand swept a large area. The Qing army was frightened and retreated repeatedly. The butcher Zheng quickly opened an empty city at the top of the city, and the rebels behind him were constantly climbing up.

"The city is broken, the city is broken." The rebels who were on the wall shouted.

The Qing army had no intention of resisting, and saw that the shouts were full of rebels. Many people immediately threw away their weapons and ran down the city. The Qing army was suddenly defeated on the entire city wall. The rebels crossed the plane to grab the city gate. The Qing army at the city gate saw that something was wrong and fled quickly without waiting for the rebels to arrive. Anyway, most of them were locals, and as long as they took off their clothes, they became common people. There was no need to work hard for the Tartars and a confused official.

The gate was opened with a creaking sound, and the suspension bridge fell. A team of rebels below rushed into the city. Xie Qian, who was behind, saw it carefully and laughed: "Haha, please feel free!"

No wonder Xie Qian was decent. The rebels spent four days in such a city and spent most of their time filling the moat. Only a hundred people were killed or injured, which was very different from the original idea.

"Give me your life, spare me your life. I am the Grand Secretary of the Ming Dynasty. I am in Cao's camp and in the Han Dynasty. In the lobby of the prefect, Zhang Sizhi was taken to Xie Qian by two rebels. He shook his gray beard and shouted loudly.

"Bah, shameless." Butcher Zheng spitted on Zhang Sizhi's face with a strong sip. At this time, butcher Zheng Gang came down from the city, with blood still remaining on his body, and a fierce look on his face. Zhang Sizhi looked at butcher Zheng and was so scared that he didn't dare to speak again.

Xie Qian looked at Zhang Sizhi and said, "You are the prefect of Laizhou Prefecture. It's interesting and interesting. If the Tartars find someone like you to be an official, it will save us our efforts and let him go."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Zhang Sizhi also laughed dryly. Xie Qian waited for everyone to laugh before saying, "Well, Japan will be kind now. Let you go back. Go and tell Kong Youde and others that Xie Qian will wait for him in Laizhou. If he dares to come, I will take off his head."

"Thank you all the leaders, thank you all the leaders." Zhang Sizhi was overjoyed, knowing that his life was finally saved.

He gave Zhang Sizhi a donkey, and the rebel army released the captured Qing officials for the first time. A few days later, Kong Youde learned that Laizhou was captured by the rebel army and realized that he had been trapped. He hurriedly withdrew the troops from Qixia County and came to Laizhou. At the same time, he did not care about bowing to Geng Zhongming and wrote a letter asking Geng Zhongming to encircle and suppress Laizhou with him.

Zheng Sen and others completed the task successfully, and the rebels in Qixia County were unscathed. Just when Zheng Sen wanted to go to Laizhou to help Xie Qian and others defend the city, Zheng Sen received an imperial edict issued by the emperor, asking Zheng Sen to return to Nanjing immediately.

Zheng Sen was confused and did not understand why the emperor ordered him to go back alone. He had to hand over the command of this special forces to his deputy and boarded the sea ship that once again transported arms to Xie Qian's troops.

Nanjing, after ten days of rapid journey, Zheng Zhilong had arrived. Looking at the towering city gate of Nanjing, Zheng Zhilong stepped into the gate with a tough bullet and accepted an unpredictable fate.
