Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 168 The Battle of Jiaoshui, Welcome the Duke of Jin

Five days later, Li Dingguo led troops to intercept Sun Kewang's army at the border of Zhanyi in Qujing.

On the banks of the Jiaoshui River, the two armies confronted each other.The two sides opened their posture, and the battle was imminent.

The sky was covered with red clouds, the cold wind was howling, and there was another heavy snowfall.

Li Dingguo stood on the hillside on a white horse, and the big banner kept turning and hunting.

Looking up, the Jiaoshui River is flowing quietly, and the snow on the bank has been trampled into mud, which is dirty and muddy.

Sun Kewang's army is divided into three camps. The front army is cavalry, commanded by Feng Shuangli; the middle army is infantry, and Sun Kewang personally sits in charge;

Looking at the flying flags of the Great Western Army, the familiar uniforms, and the brothers who fought side by side, Li Dingguo's eyes were moist and his heart was ups and downs.

He raised his horsewhip and shouted with a choked voice: "Brothers of the Daxi Army, I am Li Dingguo! This general has lived and died with you for many years. I never thought that one day I would become an enemy. It breaks my heart!"

"Why did it become like this? It's all because of his Sun Kewang's perverse actions and his willful will!"

"Brothers, when Lao Wansui passed away, there was a decree for us to submit to the Ming Dynasty. Do you still remember? Fleeing around, but also able to kill the Tartars with peace of mind, and avenge the old man! Why don't you just surrender?"

Sun Kewang hid in the carriage and frowned when he heard Li Dingguo's shout.

He knew very well that Li Dingguo had great prestige in the Daxi Army, and the soldiers loved him very much. He was afraid of shaking the army's morale, so he hastily ordered: "Send the order to the soldiers, and send the Gu's order quickly, let Feng Shuangli command the front army to charge and kill!"

After receiving the military order, Feng Shuangli yelled and cursed: "Li Dingguo, you betrayed the Daxi Army, why do you have the face to bark? Others are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. I will kill you in front of the battle today!"

The cavalry of the former army rushed out, and thousands of horses galloped.

Li Dingguo sighed: "This battle is inevitable, so let's fight!"

The Ming army had been prepared for a long time, and the car battalion was deployed, and they took the defensive position first.For a while, the cannons roared, the fire chariots fired sharp arrows, and the musketeers kept firing.

The cavalry of the Great Western Army couldn't get close to the car camp at all, and they couldn't make a breakthrough for a long time.In desperation, Feng Shuangli dispatched [-] cavalry to attack the left wing of the Cheying, trying to tear open a hole.

Two thousand cavalrymen were placed on each side of the Ming army's chariot battalion. The left-wing cavalry saw the flag dancing on the hillside and immediately rushed out to fight with Feng Shuangli's cavalry.

Feng Shuangli laughed contemptuously and said, "Hmph, the cavalry of our Daxi Army are brave and good at fighting, and the Ming army is purely courting death!"

However, the loud roar was heard, and more than fifty war elephants ran out of the Ming army's formation, rampaging and crushing them unstoppably.The Daxi army was thrown into disarray immediately, and many people were killed on the spot, and were trampled to bloody flesh by the war elephants.

The front army of the Great Western Army retreated and fled, and the Ming army took advantage of the victory to pursue. The surprise soldiers on the chariot formed a formation of mandarin ducks, hacking and killing the cavalry;

The Jiaoshui River became a mess, and Feng Shuangli's army retreated again and again, unable to counterattack.In order to save their lives, many cavalry jumped into the river on their horses and rushed to the opposite bank.

Seeing this situation, the generals of the Great Western Army knew that they would be defeated.When I was trembling with fear, I saw Li Dingguo galloping down the hillside on horseback, his shirt fluttering, and he was still so brave.

Li Dingguo roared while driving his horse, "surrender at this time, you can still save your life!"

The roar was like thunder, and the soldiers of the Daxi Army were frightened.

Ma Bao, the general of the rear army, thought to himself: "The morale of the army is not stable, this battle cannot be fought, and the defeat is already settled! Is it necessary to accompany Sun Kewang to die?"

At this thought, Ma Bao suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Welcome Duke Jin!"

The surrounding soldiers immediately gathered in response, shouting like a tsunami: "Welcome the Duke of Jin, welcome the Duke of Jin!"

In order to save his life, and also to grab the top score, Ma Bao went all out, calling his subordinates to attack the Chinese army.

As a result, a chain reaction was formed, and the Daxi army completely lost their fighting spirit. Many people had already dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender.

Feng Shuangli's complexion changed a few times, his eyeballs rolled around a few times, and he also shouted: "Welcome Duke Jin!"

Regardless of shame, he turned his horse's head and rushed towards Sun Kewang's car, yelling to capture Sun Kewang alive.

Sun Kewang was shocked and shouted: "Why did all the generals rebel? Forget it, forget it, everyone betrayed their relatives, and I have to admit defeat!"

Immediately issued an order, the whole army put down their weapons and surrendered.Sun Kewang also got out of the carriage. He was afraid of the light, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and covered his face with one arm.

The soldiers of the Ming army were fighting vigorously, when they suddenly saw such absurd scene, they were pleasantly surprised, but couldn't help but sigh.

Li Dingguo was overjoyed, within half an hour, the Daxi army surrendered, he didn't need to kill them all, he could be regarded as worthy of Zhang Xianzhong.

After the soldiers of the Ming army surrounded the enemy and handed over their weapons, Li Dingguo came to Sun Kewang on horseback, shook his head and sighed, "Why bother?"

Sun Kewang was ashamed and said with tears streaming down his face: "General Li, I'm sorry for my brother! Don't miss it, don't miss it, and hope that brother will read it for the sake of the old man. Please forgive me. Brother, you are very sorry. I joined the army at the age of [-], and I was still a child, I took care of you in every possible way, do you remember?"

Li Dingguo said: "Remember! Once in Hubei, the Ming army chased me too closely. I fell off my horse and broke my leg. It was you who carried me onto your horse and protected me all the way. Another time, it was probably Chongzhen. In 13 years, there was a shortage of food in the army, and you gave me the rations, but you yourself ate bark and grass roots..."

Speaking of this, tears rolled down Li Dingguo's eyes.

"Duke Jin, since you still remember the kindness from before, you have nothing to ask for, but please let me go!" Sun Kewang wailed, tugging on Li Dingguo's sleeve.

Li Dingguo's heart was overwhelmed, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Go, run far away!"

"Thank you, General Li, for your great kindness, I will never forget it in this life!" Sun Kewang was ecstatic, climbed into the carriage hurriedly, and asked, "Which of you would like to leave with Gu?"

Dozens of scattered people stood in front of the car, while the rest bowed their heads and remained silent.

"If you fall into such a field alone, you will be to blame. Take care of yourself, and go alone!" Sun Kewang smiled wryly, feeling extremely desolate.

The carriage started to drive, and the Ming army dispersed in a single way.After walking tens of meters away, Sun Kewang stopped the carriage suddenly, poked his head out of the window, and shouted, "Feng Shuangli, didn't you say you wanted to be an orphan dog? Why didn't you follow the orphan?"

Feng Shuangli was extremely embarrassed, and said with a straight neck: "He who understands current affairs is a hero..."

Before he could finish speaking, Sun Kewang laughed out loud. Having laughed enough, he said coldly: "General Li, be careful of vicious dogs biting people!"

Sun Kewang's carriage finally went away, and there were snowflakes in the sky.

Li Dingguo's eyes followed the carriage and murmured to himself: "From now on, let's make a clean break. Sun Kewang, I don't owe you anything!"

Turning around, he shouted sharply: "Come on, tie up Feng Shuangli and behead him for public display!"

"General Li, you can't treat me like this, you can't treat me like this! Feng Shuangli climbed in front of Li Dingguo's horse, hugged Li Dingguo's leg and howled, "I am willing to be the general's dog, just begging the general to spare my life... "

Li Dingguo leaned down, glared at Feng Shuangli and said, "Are you worthy of being a dog? Feng Shuangli, you are a sinner of the Daxi Army. Go to the Underworld to see Lao Longsui, and see how he treats you!"

Mentioning Zhang Xianzhong, Feng Shuangli jumped up and ran away, shouting like crazy: "I don't want to die, I don't want to see Lao Wansui..."

Feng Shuangli seemed to be really frightened, he jumped into the Jiaoshui River without thinking, struggling desperately.

Li Dingguo bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot him dead with one arrow.The corpse spun several times in the river and sank into the rolling waves.
