Chapter 26 The Dark War
The scale of Chongzhen's hiking tour group increased to twelve people.
The new members of the company, Mr. Zhou and Miss Zhou, were the nephews and nephews of Zhou Yuji, the general of Ningwuguan. His father, Zhou Yuxiang, was Zhou Yuji's younger brother. Miss Zhou was seventeen years old and Mr. Zhou was fourteen years old. The family first heard that Zhou Yuji's efforts to block the bandits in Wuguan in Wuguan in the family and eventually died in their country. Not long after, he heard that the capital was captured, so he hurriedly decided to flee to Jiangnan.
Zhonglie was rescued later, and he was very consoling, but he was too burdened. Although Miss Zhou was born in a martial arts family, she also had small feet. She had to walk for several miles. Later, she had to tie a vine sedan chair for Zhou Chong and a Zhou family servant to carry it. The other servant was injured in the arm, which was not affected. However, in this way, the speed of traveling was much slower, and the goal was too big, so she had to send vanguards to explore the way, specializing in the remote and uninhabited mountains and cross the mountains and ridges, and the speed was getting slower and slower.
Chongzhen frowned. This situation would undoubtedly be dangerous at any time. He thought that taking three disciples would make a big profit, but he didn't expect that a big loss would come with a deal. He had to take his family and take his family to escape. This was not the case! Chongzhen felt a danger approaching based on his intuition.
The ten cavalry and large whistle detectives on the official road were killed. In less than an hour, three groups of people investigated the scene of the crime. The three groups of people, of course, were the cavalry of the Dashun Army, and the other was Wu Sangui's cavalry. The third group was the Ming Dynasty's power secretly controlled by Wang Chengen. Luo Yangxing, the leader of the Jinyiwei, was still chased for 30,000 taels of silver after surrendering Li Zicheng. This person was a little loyal, so some of the original Jinyiwei's power was also under the secret control of Wang Chengen. The three groups of people were extremely interested in the killing of ten rebels here, and they all doubted that they all came to Chongzhen's head.
The Dashun intelligence system led by Liu Tichun immediately ran at high speed. Adhering to the spirit of Prime Minister Niu and Prime Minister Niu tried to minimize the influence, he mobilized 800 capable personnel under his command to set up defenses at all levels and blocked them step by step.
A few days ago, Wu Sangui sent 5,000 troops to Tianjin to station on the grounds of supplementary reasons. Li Zicheng thought that Wu Sangui was about to surrender, so he acquiesced to this move and only asked the nearby Dashun troops to guard the matter. On the morning of the eighth day of the April 1st, Wu Sangui heard that Chongzhen had escaped in Beijing, his first instinct was that Chongzhen should come to find him, which was an opportunity no matter what. Although Gu Junen arrived in the camp with Chongzhen's decree for abdication and the "Ta Kung Pao" that came out on April 6th, Wu Sangui found a reason to stabilize Gu Junen, but behind his back he mobilized 300 confidants to arrange for him to meet him along the way.
As a result, eight hundred people from the Chuang system, three hundred confidants of Wu Sangui, and sixty people from the original Jinyiwei system of the Mingshi were launched at the scene of the crime of 150 miles.
After all, it was the Jinyiwei professional. A team of Jinyiwei hunters first discovered the buried place of Zhou Yuxiang and his wife, and soon followed Chongzhen and his party. However, what made them uneasy was that Dashun soldiers who were inspecting and alerting could be found everywhere along the way, as well as unidentified dressmakers. The leader in charge of this team of Jinyiwei was named Wen Tiecheng, who was very experienced and felt that the current situation was very difficult, so he decided to contact Chongzhen first.
Chongzhen and his group were really slow enough, and the Jinyiwei leaned forward in a short while.
When Wen Tiecheng was approaching, Zhao Yijun, who was in charge of the palace behind Chongzhen, responded and shouted loudly:
"Who is coming out!" The bow and arrow were drawn from afar, and he was about to shoot.
Wen Tiecheng hurriedly shouted: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
Zhao Yijun remembered the master's explanation and quickly replied: "There will be a Dongfengmill." He didn't know what the Dongfengmill is, but he only knew that when he heard the previous sentence, there must be a road before he arrived at the mountain, he would answer this way. Next, it seems that there is another sentence below, by the way! I remembered it. So he shouted:
"Essential closure, closure" I don't know what medicine this "ejaculation closure" is!
Wen Tiecheng immediately replied: "Released immediately, and release immediately and sealed immediately."
Zhao Yijun saw that he met the incision that his master said, so he bowed and asked:
"Who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who
Wen Tiecheng stood up and replied, "I am the one named Wen, who is under Manager Gong. Come and listen to Manager Gong's dispatch."
"So it's Brother Wen, please!"
Zhao Yijun thought that the master seemed to be an important figure in the Ming Dynasty, and he did not follow the wrong person. Then he took Wen Tiecheng to meet the two masters. Wen Tiecheng came to Chongzhen and gave a big gift, saying, "Shopkeeper Gong, Wen Tiecheng is here to serve you."
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen and thought to himself that it was good. These guys were put on so quickly! But since they could put on it, it means that their lines of hidden things have been exposed, and it is difficult to ensure that other people will not put on it. He asked immediately:
"How did Brother Wen discover our appearance?"
"Report to the shopkeeper, the following ten people were the scene of the slaughtered bandits on the road of the surveyor, and then followed the clues. The situation is very unoptimistic. We found bandits and unidentified people along the way. According to the speculation below, these people are all here for you, so we must think of a way to escape."
Chongzhen naturally understood that the murder of people on the official road could not not attract the attention of the Dashun Army, but he did not expect that things would be so difficult. I wonder if these Dashun Army would engage in the "iron wall encirclement" and "comb and clear the punishment". In that case, it would be even more difficult to escape! Then he thought that Li Zicheng's team might not be able to develop such a technical trick for a while, and he felt a little lucky. He asked immediately:
"What are the opinions of Brother Wen?"
"According to the opinion of the younger brother, it may be inappropriate for the shopkeeper to be so slow now. From the following, we must quickly get out of danger. It is better for the shopkeeper Gong and Mr. Du to lead a few capable subordinates to get out of the situation first. As for the young master, even if someone interrogates, there is no big danger. You can do another way. Just slow down. When the shopkeeper and his party escape from danger, as long as they agree on the location, it will not be too late to get together at that time."
Of course, Chongzhen understood that only by the word "fast" could one find opportunities to get out of the many nets. Otherwise, if you have good opportunities, you will not be able to seize them. Then it will be the ending of all the things you have. But after just promised others to come, but after abandoning these two loyal and wise men, wouldn't it be a great shame to "not abandon, not give up"! I pondered repeatedly and hesitated for a moment.
Wen Tiecheng saw the situation and saw that the lady was as beautiful as a flower. He thought that Manager Gong couldn't bear to let this beautiful lady go. After thinking about it, he had an idea. So he whispered:
"Shopkeeper, as I observe, there are also traces of Wu Sangui's Liao soldiers along the way. I think it is also for the shopkeeper. The situation is urgent. I have some little insight. I ask the shopkeeper to consider it when I say it! I think I can use the hands of Wu Sangui's Liao soldiers to send the young lady out safely. I arrange brothers who are familiar with the terrain of this area and then join our strong players along the way. There is a top 40 or 50 players. With the help of the terrain, it should not be difficult to escape from the surround and blockade.
Wang Chengen asked from the side: "How is Tianjin arranged?"
"It should have been arranged. The order I received is: As long as the two people are sent safely to the designated location in Tianjin, it will be considered as completing the mission."
While he was speaking, a call came from a distance. An Jinyiwei hurried over and said anxiously:
"The chief of staff, it's not good. Later, I found out that Dashun bandits had about eighty or ninety people. I have to make an idea as soon as possible when I district the district."
When Chongzhen saw that what he should have come, he added ten Jinyiwei, and there were only 17 or 18 people who could fight. If he faced a well-trained army and fought head-on, the number of people would be very different, and it would be unlucky! Even if he ran away separately, it would be a lot of luck.
Wen Tiecheng didn't expect the bandit to catch up so quickly, and quickly said to Chongzhen:
"The shopkeeper goes first, let's resist for a while."
Chongzhen looked at the nearby terrain and made a decision. He looked around at everyone and said resolutely:
"Brother Wen, you send two brothers to contact Wu Sangui's people, and the others will follow my command. Come, let's go up the mountain together and try these Dashun Army to see that they can do this. First, destroy their arrogance, and then find a way."
When Wen Tiecheng saw that Manager Gong had made the decision, he knew that it would be useless to say too much, so he had to do so.
After the two Jinyiwei went separately, the group climbed up the mountainside. After climbing a steep slope, Chongzhen designated this place as the first line of defense. Three lines of defense were set up. Chongzhen only had hunting experience, Wen Tiecheng had never fought a war, and Zhao Yijun only had a fight with bandits, and his combat experience was far from being far behind. Chongzhen had a lot of research on football defense. He had a clear understanding of the tactical concept of handing over defense. Besides, he had watched a lot of war movies and TV series in later generations, so he had some insights on how to defend. Of course, the most stable mind was the foundation left by reading "Maoxuan" back then. When he read "Maoxuan" he himself, he did not feel that he knew that what he had read had been deeply rooted in the bones.
The slope has been cleared, which is called "clearing the shooting world". All the trees that can be cut down have been cut off, and the trees cut down are used to build simple fortifications. Wen Tiecheng saw that Manager Gong was confident, and then he saw that "clearing the shooting world" was indeed beneficial for shooting and killing the attackers, which made him even more impressed. It was just that there were many bandits in the trespass, and I really didn't know how long it could be blocked. If I couldn't wait for Wu Sangui's troops, wouldn't it be a disaster!
The cavalry of Dashun could not run between the mountains and fields. If they were walking around in circles, they would be better than walking. Later, most of the people simply dismounted and chased after them, and the people behind drove the horses over.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, a leader of Dashun shouted at the mountain:
"Chongzhen, no, Your Highness, Your Highness, who is Your Highness, Your Highness, You don't have to hide anymore. I am ordered by Prime Minister Niu, please ask Your Highness to go back to Beijing with me. Prime Minister Niu told me that he would treat Your Highness well. Your Highness will follow the Prime Minister now."
After calling for a long time, no one answered the mountain. When the people on the mountain heard the shout "Chongzhen", some people naturally reacted. It turned out that this hero Gong was Emperor Chongzhen, and his reaction was different at the moment. Zhao Yijun thought to himself that he thought he was just a big man in the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't expect that his master was Emperor Chongzhen. He called "Emperor" and knelt down. Zhou Chong was even more stunned. When Chongzhen saw that everyone was about to kneel down, he shouted: "Stop! Don't move, everyone guarded their own location and defeated the enemy first."
When the shouting saw that there was no response on the mountain, he immediately called:
"The unrelated people on the mountain will leave quickly, otherwise the sword will be ruthless, don't blame us for being ruthless! Hello! I'll call you for the last time, listen, the unrelated people will get out of here! If you resist stubbornly, you will definitely be killed without a place to die!"
Seeing that the leader still had no reaction on the mountain, he shouted: "Brothers, rush up and catch Zhu Youjian, you will be rewarded!"
The leader of Dashun relied on the large number of people. When he saw that there were only twenty people on the mountain, he was too lazy to release arrows to catch the alive, so he charged directly. Fifty Dashun troops held shields and rushed to attack, fearing that the mastery of capturing Chongzhen would be snatched away by others.
Chongzhen held two pistols in his hand, and Mr. Zhou's Shutong became the bullet supplyer. Wang Chengen occupied one pistol and gave the other pistol to Ergang. In the past few days, Chongzhen observed Ergang's potential, so he taught Ergang how to aim, how to load and how to shoot one by one. Ergang picked up the pistol at this time, and was full of excitement. As for the "Brother Zhu" crossbow, one handed to Zhao Yijun and the other handed to Zhou Chong. Zhou Chong tried it and found that the crossbow was very clever and could not let go.
When the Dashun army rushed within 80 meters, Chongzhen fired the first shot, this time using a copper bullet. With a "ping-tablet", the bullet passed through a Dashun army's shield and hit the chest. The Dashun soldier raised his head and fell down. Before everyone could react, the second shot followed again, and the shield passed through the person. Wen Tiecheng saw it clearly on the mountain, thinking that the fire was powerful and the accurate shot of the emperor was even more powerful. If it were not for seeing it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe it!
The third shot was just fired. With a "ping-top", a Dashun soldier was knocked over and fell to the ground and screamed. Chongzhen saw that it was good, and he had such a meaning. After a little training, it was not difficult to be a shooter. Wang Chengen also pulled the trigger, but he was silent, which was very annoyed for a moment.
After three shots, the Dashun Army's charge paused, and the leader shouted:
"Run quickly! Rush quickly! Rush over, there are only a few of them, three muskets, afraid of a ball! Grab Zhu Youjian and get rewards!"
The so-called reward must be a brave man. The Dashun Army rushed forward again. After the second round of four gunshots, the four fell down, but the rest rushed over without hesitation. At this time, it was the range of bows and arrows. Zhao Yijun, Zhou Chong's crossbows and Jinyiwei bows and arrows were shot out one by one. A round of arrows flew down. Unfortunately, the Dashun Army all held shields. Most of the arrows shot directly were nailed to the shield, and only two or three were shot. Chongzhen saw that it was going to be bad, so he quickly took out a grenade and pulled the fire out. The grenade exploded among the Dashun Army's crowd. With a "boom", it exploded down three Dashun soldiers. They were blown up front, back and left and right. Many Dashun soldiers' shields suddenly appeared. A round of arrows flew down in time and shot down several more. Unfortunately, they only carried two "Du version" grenades, and used one, and the other one must be used at the critical moment.
After the third round of gunfire, other Dashun soldiers rushed up, and Wen Tiecheng shouted: "Brother Zhao, quickly pull the emperor to the second line of defense. Brothers of the Jinyiwei, let's hold on."
Zhao Yijun, Ergang, and Liu Jiyun saw that protecting the emperor was important and pulled Chongzhen and Wang Chengen to the second line of defense. Zhou Chong and another Zhou family servant, holding a knife and never retreated. Zhou Chong handed the crossbow to Master Zhou, turned around and joined the Jinyiwei to resist the Dashun army.
After the Dashun army rushed to the first line of defense, a fierce hand-to-hand battle began. The eight Jinyiwei were all masters, and Zhou Chong was even more skilled in martial arts. However, the Dashun army attacked was not restrained at night, and their skills were naturally good. With ten against thirty, at least one was against three. Except for Zhao Yijun who could shoot an arrow from time to time, he did not dare to put the pistol indiscriminately. At the end, Chongzhen shouted "Brother Wen, retreat quickly!" on the top, but only Wen Tiecheng and Zhou Chong retreated to the second line of defense with blood. After fighting for a while, there were only seventeen or eight left. These people were glad that they drifted a rain of arrows and bullets from the second line of defense. In the end, only eight people fled down the mountain in a panic.
