After all, even he had never been loyal to Man Qing.

"Exactly, my Lord Hou has a letter, please read it to King Pingxi." Yao Yuecong took out a letter.

She continued to practice lightness kung fu and traveled for days, and finally arrived in Yunnan within half a month.

A guard took the letter in Yaoyue's hand, opened it, checked it, and handed it to Wu Sangui.

After all, there are people in this world who poison their letters, and Wu Sangui, who is in a high position, has to guard against them.

It would be a big loss if he struggled half his life and was poisoned to death in such a ignorant manner.

Wu Sangui took the letter and read it.

The content of the letter was to incite him to rebel. He didn't say anything about the righteousness of the family and the country, but directly talked about interests.

Because from the history of Wu Sangui switching to welcome the entry of the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that he has no righteousness for his family and country.

In the letter, Su Xun clarified the advantages and disadvantages. Wu Sangui is a Han Chinese, and he has a strong army in his own hands. Kangxi will never tolerate him after he gains a firm foothold.

Therefore, inciting Wu Sangui to cooperate with the outside world, Su Xun is willing to support him to replace Kangxi. In Su Xun's words, the world will eventually be ruled by Han'er.

Wu Sangui was very moved, because he also knew that the Manchu Qing would not tolerate him, especially since he not only ruled Yunnan separately, but also had old ministries in various places.

Sooner or later, he will rebel, and he has been preparing for it. As long as Kangxi attacks him, he will rebel.

But now is a good opportunity, the Manchus have internal and external troubles, and the Ming army responds to disperse the Manchus. If he raises troops now, he has a great chance of success.

At this moment, a soldier came in and whispered something in Wu Sangui's ear.

Wu Sangui narrowed his eyes slightly, the emperor married Princess Jianning to his son, and he was escorted by Wei Xiaobao, Duke of Lu Ding, a celebrity in the dynasty, on his way to Yunnan.

He immediately hesitated again. He knew that Kangxi doted on this sister very much, which meant that Kangxi would not turn against him at least now. If he rashly raises an army now, what if he fails?After all, the fighting power of the Ming army is not as good as that of the Qing army.

Wu Sangui in history is considered awesome, but Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong in The Deer and Ding Ji are both such indecisive and indecisive people.

So Wu Sangui put away the letter and said: "Miss Yaoyue goes down to rest first, it's a big matter, this king needs to think about it carefully, after all, this matter needs to be cautious."

He was still prepared to wait and see, if the Ming army blocked the Qing army, he would not be too late to respond.

If the Ming army was still crushed and defeated by the Qing army, then he would not raise troops now. The emperor needs time to develop, and he also needs to develop.

Yaoyue was taken away by servants, and she had to wait here until Wu Sangui wrote back to Su Xun to take her back.

Chapter 1386 Horn! Battle Drums! Great Victory! Counterattack!

One month later, the Liaodong front.

Su Xun is on his way leading the new army.

The [-] Qing army led by Nian Gengyao, [-] cavalry, and [-] infantry, known as [-] to the outside world, fought like a broken bamboo all the way. After crossing the Liao River, the soldiers surrounded Xiping Fort.

During the several wars in the past few years, the Ming Dynasty had already been captured by the Manchus and captured many passes and cities. Behind Xiping Fort was the last line of defense for Guangning City.

If the Qing soldiers break through Xiping Fort, then the army can directly surround Guangning City where Mao Wenlong is located.

After capturing Guangning City, the Ming army's line of defense had to completely abandon the outside of the pass and retreat to the inside of Shanhaiguan.

Therefore, Guangning City is the top priority.

There are [-] defenders in Xipingbao, and the defender Luo Yiguan.

In the history of the original time and space, Luo has always successfully predicted Nurhachi's offensive route, but was made things difficult by the treacherous minister Sun Degong. He was unable to mobilize the elite of the Liaodong Army and could only go to Xiping Fort alone.

Later, as he predicted, Nurhachi crossed the Liaohe River and attacked from Xiping Fort. He was outnumbered and all [-] defenders were killed in battle. Luo Yiguan slayed himself.

Sun Degong, Zu Dashou and others who came to support were ambushed halfway. Sun Degong's lieutenant, Bao Cheng, fled without a fight. Come and fight the Ming army.

It's just that in this time and space, the country has been established for many years, and the marshal of the Qing army has also become Nian Gengyao.

The battle was approaching, and all the Ming troops in Xiping Fort looked dignified. Facing the siege of [-] Qing soldiers, Xiping Fort looked so weak on the vast land.

"Has the request for help been sent out?"

Luo Yitong sat at the top wearing armor, with a short beard on his lips, a burly figure and a vicissitudes of face.

He had already suggested to Marshal Mao Wenlong that the Qing army would definitely attack from Xiping Fort, but he did not expect that Sun Degong, the guerrilla general of Guangning, would make things difficult and mock him everywhere.

Mao Wenlong was also instigated by Sun Degong, and did not dare to send heavy troops to Xiping Fort. In the end, he insisted that his speculation was correct and came alone.

Now it turns out that his speculation was not wrong, but he was not happy at all.

Because with his [-] defenders, he couldn't stop the [-] Qing soldiers. He had already thought of this result before he came, but he still came.

Because if he didn't do anything, he would be sorry to the man of the Han family and Daming.

So knowing that he must die, he also came.

There is no shortage of Han men who are not afraid of death.

"General, it has already been dispatched, and the Qing soldiers are already preparing to attack the city." A lieutenant general said.

Luo Yiguan got up, looked around at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "A good man should fight for the country, shrouded in horse leather, and a hundred thousand Qing soldiers outside the city, but there is no man in my Ming Dynasty who is not iron-blooded, pass on my order, fight to the death, and never retreat!"

"The last will obey!"

Several generals stood up and cupped their hands, and the armor on their bodies made a crisp sound when they collided, just like knives and guns colliding.

"The general has an order to fight to the death without retreating!"

"The general has an order to fight to the death without retreating!"

"The general has an order to fight to the death without retreating!"

The messengers, with flags planted behind their backs, galloped across the city wall to pass on Luo Yitong's military orders.

Behind the city wall, a veteran in his 30s rubbed his dry face, looked up at the sun in the sky, and clenched the knife in his hand.

A recruit was trembling while holding a firecracker.

"Son, don't be afraid, a tartar also has one head and two hands, and he will die if he is stabbed." The veteran comforted the recruit, grinning and showing his big yellow teeth.

The recruit nodded, but was still trembling because he couldn't control his body, but he didn't cry out loud, let alone run away.

Outside the fort, banners of various colors were fluttering, and at a glance, the densely packed Qing soldiers were boundless.

"Boom boom boom... boom..."

Accompanied by thunderous drums.

More than a dozen cannons were launched by the Qing soldiers.

"Boom boom boom..."

At this time, solid bullets were still used. The shells fell into the city and smashed houses and soldiers to death. The cries of the people, the screams and curses of the soldiers, and the loud noise of the collapse of the houses were intertwined in Xiping Fort.

Let the shells fall, the Ming soldiers on the walls of Xiping Fort remained motionless in their respective positions, even if comrades around them were smashed to death from time to time.

They are all veterans who have experienced many battles. If they panic like this, the city will be destroyed faster.

"Woooooo-"

The dull sound of the horn resounded through the vast land.

The Qing soldiers moved, and an infantry force of more than 3000 rushed up carrying ladders and other siege tools.

"Fire the arrow!" Luo Yiguan roared, he grabbed the longbow and pulled it to the full moon, let go of his fingers, and the arrow flew out of the string, shooting and killing a Qing soldier with the sound of piercing through the air.

"Shhhhhhhhhhh..."

The arrows rained like rain, but most of them missed. They were rarely blocked by the shields of the Qing soldiers. Only a very small part of the arrows hit people. After a Qing soldier fell, someone quickly picked up the shield and put it in place. .

"Hang Kang Kang Kang..."

The blunderbuss gun kept firing ammunition, and every time it was fired, it had to be reloaded from the front, which was very troublesome.

When more than 3000 Qing soldiers rushed to the bottom of the city wall, hundreds of people had died, but the ladder was built on the city wall, and the Ming army carried stones and other things on it and smashed it down.

Soon another Qing army of more than 2000 soldiers rushed to help from the army formation. One after another, the fearless Qing soldiers climbed up the city wall stepping on the ladder.

On the top of the city, an old soldier brandished a knife that has been passed down for two generations and killed three Qing soldiers in a row. When he was about to swing the knife down, he was caught by the Qing soldiers and dragged down from the top of the city. Hacked to death.

The trembling recruit yelled and pulled the trigger to kill a man head-on, before being stabbed through the chest with a machete.

If there is no protagonist on the battlefield, everyone may die.

Roaring, screaming, cursing, roaring, all kinds of hysterical voices filled the city.

The Qing soldiers launched three consecutive advances but were all repulsed by the defenders. Finally, in the evening, the Qing soldiers stopped attacking the city, and the Ming army in the city was able to breathe.

Two days later, the soldier who delivered the letter exhausted a fast horse, and the letter for help finally reached Guangning City.

Mao Wenlong gathered for the first time to discuss matters.

"Generals, this is a request for help from Xiping Fort. It is exactly what Luo Yiguan expected. Nian Gengyao attacked from Xiping Fort. Luo Yiguan said that he can only block it for seven days at most. Let's discuss which one to go to rescue."

Holding the letter paper, Mao Wenlong felt very regretful that he did not follow Luo Yitong's analysis that day, otherwise how could the front line be in such a situation now.

"Hmph! Sun Guerrilla, didn't you swear that it was impossible for Qing soldiers to attack from Xiping Fort?"

A general looked at Sun Degong and said.

Sun Degong stroked his beard: "This military situation changes in an instant, and this general is not a god. At that time, he only analyzed it based on reasonable circumstances."

"Guangning guerrilla Sun Degong, general Qi Bingzhong, general Zu Dashou, and Zhenwubao general Liu Qu led 3 troops to help." Mao Wenlong directly agreed.

Sun Degong's face changed, and he was about to speak, but Mao Wenlong gave him a cold look, and in the end he could only choke out a sentence: "The last general... Follow orders."

"Generals, the Marquis of Huai'an has already led the reinforcements on the way. No matter what, Xiping Fort cannot be lost before the Marquis arrives. Let's go down and prepare."

After Mao Wenlong finished speaking, the meeting was adjourned.

Sun Degong, Zu Dashou, Qi Bingzhong, and Liu Qu rushed to Xiping Fort with [-] reinforcements immediately.

The military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed for a moment.

"General, are we really going to rescue Xipingbao?"

Lieutenant General Bao Cheng approached Sun Degong and asked.

"Otherwise, what should we do? Commander Mao's military order has been issued, how can we not listen?" Sun Degong said.

Bao Cheng rolled his eyes: "General, with all due respect, a full cavalry is less than [-], and a full [-] is invincible. Now there are [-] Qing soldiers. Can we win?"

"What do you want to say?" Sun Degong asked.

Bao Cheng looked left and right, then lowered his voice and said: "It's better for us to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. I think the Ming Dynasty took jujube pills and went to the Qing Dynasty. We can still enjoy the glory and wealth. Turning around and fighting the Ming army is worse than going to Xiping." It is much easier to defeat the Qing army."

"What's your plan?" Sun Degong was moved. He is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. He knows that Xiping Fort will be destroyed, so why is he willing to seek death?

Bao Cheng said: "We told the Qing soldiers the route of the reinforcements, let the Qing soldiers lay an ambush in advance, we made a great contribution, and then led the troops to flee back to Guangning to hide in the chaos, and waited for the opportunity to capture Mao Wenlong after the Xiping Fort was broken. Offering the city to surrender is a great achievement!"

"Just as you said, the ambush location is Pingyang Bridge, which is more suitable." Sun Degong also thought it was a good idea, and immediately agreed.

Then Zu Dashou, Liu Qu, Qi Bingzhong and others didn't notice that one person slipped away from the team.

Two days later, [-] reinforcements were ambushed by Qing soldiers at Pingyang Bridge, and were caught off guard. Just as Zu Dashou wanted to organize a counterattack, Sun Degong shouted that the former army was defeated.

Zu Dashou escaped, Liu Qu and Qi Bingzhong died in battle, only Sun Degong and Bao Cheng were left alive, their troops had long been restrained by him and did not fight back.

The ambushed Qing soldiers swept the battlefield, and a Manchu general came towards Sun Degong and Bao Cheng.

"Slave Sun Degong, see your lord."

Sun Degong and Bao Cheng knelt down with obsequious expressions on their faces, and kowtowed to General Qing.

"Hahaha, General Sun please hurry up, those who know the current affairs are outstanding, and the Qing Dynasty will not treat you badly."

The Qing general stepped forward to help Sun Degong and Bao Cheng.

After exchanging pleasantries, Sun Degong and Bao Cheng left the troops, and they ran back to Guangning pretending to be embarrassed.

...............

Three days later, the front line of Xipingbao.

"General, I just got the news that the reinforcements were ambushed at Pingyang Bridge, and 3 people were either killed or captured. We have no reinforcements!" the lieutenant said sadly.

They have been fighting with the Qing soldiers for seven days. The soldiers have suffered heavy losses, the arrows are short, and the gunpowder is almost exhausted. Now that the reinforcements are ambushed, they are really dead.

At this time, in the council hall, four of the original seven chairs were now vacant, and four people had already been killed in battle.

Luo Yiguan rubbed his eyebrows wearily: "How many people can be beaten in the castle?"
