Chapter 235 Night attack on the Qing camp

Li Xing and others sat in the Pojiashan Temple, ate some simple meals, and then discussed the future together. They all thought they wanted to avenge Li Zicheng.

Several generals discussed which soldiers to send to recruit the fleeing team. After the discussion, they lay down casually in the ruined temple.

Soon it was daylight.

According to the previous decision, the army dispatched several soldiers who were good at running and cautious to recruit troops in four groups and gathered at Jiashan Temple.

Li Xing and others also went around to inquire about the movements of the Qing soldiers.

The Qing soldiers defeated the Dashun army and stationed themselves at the foot of Jiugong Mountain, waiting for the arrival of the large army, and then went to Hunan together to continue to pursue the Dashun army and the Ming army.

There are about two thousand people in this Qing army.

Immediately afterwards, Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng's army stationed more than ten miles away from the Qing soldiers, waiting for the next move.

The surrendered left army numbered about seven to eight thousand people.

The escaped Dashun troops gradually stationed near Jiashan Temple and lurked in the dense forest.

About five days later, Dashun's army gathered a total of five to six thousand people.

A total of more than ten generals came to the main hall of Jiashan Temple and met Li Xing and others.

This Li Xing had been under Li Zicheng's command for many years and was also a well-known figure. He was resourceful, brave and good at fighting. These generals were willing to listen to Li Xing's command.

Li Xing also told everyone about the news about the Qing soldiers that he had found out in the past few days, and everyone discussed together to attack the Qing camp.

Five to six thousand people were more than enough to deal with more than 2,000 people. Although they were defeated by the Qing soldiers many times and retreated steadily, this time was different. Their emperor Li Zicheng was killed by the Qing soldiers. Everyone was sad and reported He was determined to fight the Qing soldiers and avenge Li Zicheng.

On this day, Bai Yuyao went to investigate outside Jiugong Mountain again. There was no change in the Qing camp. They won the battle and killed Li Zicheng. They thought they were invincible and relaxed their vigilance.

Bai Yuyao came back, reported the news, and decided to attack the Qing soldiers tonight.

It was already midnight, and the moon was big and round, illuminating the mountains and forests as if it were daytime. The wind was blowing fiercely and the woods were ringing. It was the time of fighting.

A team of five to six thousand people walked in the wild forest without making any sound. They kept silent and hurriedly walked towards the outside of Jiugong Mountain.

After walking for three hours, it was almost getting dark, and the wild chickens in the distance began to crow, sparsely. They were escaped domestic chickens hiding in the grass and crowing.

A team of five to six thousand people soon arrived outside the Qing army camp. Under the night, they saw tents one after another, and groups of patrols lined up.

It was quiet in the camp. Li Xing, Yang Shucheng and Bai Yuyao flew towards the military camp like three night birds.

Arriving at the military camp, the sound of snoring could be heard one after another in the military camp. Li Xing and the other three dispersed in three places, performed Qinggong, ran to various places, and set fire to the tent. The tent was made of cowhide, and it burned when it saw sparks.

After burning this tent, he went to burn another tent. After a while, everything was burning.

In the camp, the Qing soldiers' calls rang out, and there was chaos.

On the side of the mountain, more than 5,000 Dashun soldiers rushed down.

He quickly rushed to the military camp, where smoke was now billowing. People from both sides were killed together.

Although the Qing soldiers were usually very brave and not afraid of death, in the middle of the night, they suddenly got up and things happened in a hurry. They had no armor on their bodies and no knives in their hands. They were killed by Da Shun soldiers in a daze.

When other people saw it, they were so frightened that they wanted to run away.

At this time, the generals of the Qing army saw the situation clearly. This was the Dashun army that they had defeated. They hurriedly waved their flags and summoned their Qing troops.

These Qing soldiers were summoned by the generals and immediately calmed down. After all, they had experienced hundreds of battles, fighting from outside the pass to the capital, from the capital to Shaanxi, from Shaanxi to Henan, and from Henan to Hubei. There were numerous large and small battles along the way. Now under the command of the general, they immediately calmed down and started fighting against Dashun's army.

Li Xing and several other people with high martial arts skills specialized in killing Qing generals.

Although the Qing army fired arrows, Li Xing and others used Qinggong to rush left and right in the Qing army. The arrows could not hurt them, but they killed many of their own family members.

Li Xing looked at an opening and ran all the way, only to charge towards a general.

This general was so lucky that he didn't ask other soldiers to protect him. He did it himself, holding a long knife in his hand, and killed Li Xing.

After a few moves, Li Xing realized that the opponent was so powerful that he couldn't get close to him within a few moves.

Li Xing gritted his teeth and watched as the opponent's long knife struck him. Li Xing dodged and the knife hit his left shoulder, causing blood to flow immediately.

At this moment, Li Xing stepped in front of the general, stabbed him with his sword, hit him in the chest, and retreated quickly without even looking, looking for the next target.

The general looked at the blood flowing on his chest and was stunned for a moment, then fell to the ground with a "thud".

When his soldiers saw that their general was dead, they shouted and fled in all directions.

At this time, other Dashun troops surrounded and killed this group of Qing soldiers.

This was done repeatedly in advance.

In a short time, this group of Qing soldiers was wiped out.

Li Xing, Yang Shucheng, Bai Yuyao and others rushed left and right like bloody men, like several ferocious tigers.

The generals of the Qing army saw that these people were powerful and quickly mobilized Qing troops to surround and kill them.

Unfortunately, these people are so powerful in qinggong that they can't harass them.

Seeing these people running very fast, with arrows flying like locusts, they could not be shot.

Li Xing was also hit by two arrows on his back. He didn't bother to pull them out and rushed towards the Qing general with the feathered arrows.

Those Qing soldiers came after them, and the Dashun army came after them.

Li Xing and several others ran to the hill, raised their swords and assassinated several Qing generals.

Seeing that several generals of the Qing army were assassinated, these Qing soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies. Seeing that their side was about to win, the Dashun army became more confident and shouted forward to pursue them.

They had been chased and killed by this vanguard force of the Qing Dynasty along the way, and today they were finally going to be proud and hunted them down without ceremony.

The Qing troops were defeated and fled in all directions. They all fled towards the mountains, but the Dashun army did not want to take command at all, and they all followed behind and chased them into the mountains.

The fighting here soon ended, with rivers of blood everywhere. Nearly a thousand Qing soldiers remained at the scene. The dead and injured lay on the ground, screaming incessantly.

Li Xing and others did not care about these injured Qing soldiers, but kept sending people around to inquire about the pursuit in the mountains.

The sky was getting brighter, and the people who had gone to pursue him were coming back one after another.

It was reported that most of the Qing soldiers who had fled into the mountains had been wiped out.

This was the first victory for the Dashun Army, and their morale was very high. They were all clamoring to go north to meet the large Qing troops.

Li Xing and others calmly analyzed that this victory was a successful raid. If a large force of Qing troops came, the Dashun Army may not be their opponent.

In accordance with the prior agreement, the Dashun Army marched towards Hunan in an orderly manner.

Li Xing followed several generals to Jiashan Temple. He asked them for some pieces of clothing used by Li Zicheng, and he wanted to build a tomb for him at the place where Li Zicheng was martyred in Jiugong Mountain.

Li Xing collected several pieces of Li Zicheng's clothes, hats, and a seal.

Li Xing asked these generals to catch up with his team quickly. He asked Bai Yuyao and Yang Shucheng to stay, and they wanted to choose a good place near Jiashan Temple.
