August 20th, Xinqiao Town.

"Report! The men and horses of the Wangshi have reached five miles north of the town. They look very embarrassed. Behind them is a large group of our army and horses chasing them. Judging from the banner, it should be General Zhang Guozhu and Zhang's men!"

Li Chengxian and Xia Guo received a report from the scout.

"How many people are there among the kings?"

"Not less than two thousand!"

"Hahaha, General Xia, I really let you talk. This time we will give him a front and back attack, and eat Wang Shizhong first." Li Chengxian turned around and said to Prime Minister Xia with a smile.

"Kill Wang Shizhong, and then go back and make money from Jingmen City. General Li, this is a great achievement." Xia Guoxiang responded with a smile.

"Transfer the order, the entire army is ready to attack!" Li Chengxian ordered.

"Zhe!" The messenger went down to pass the command.

After a while, the horns sounded, the knife was unsheathed, the arrow was rolled into the strings, and the whole army was ready.

"Let's go, meet Wang Shizhong first." After Li Chengxian finished speaking, he turned over and stood up with Prime Minister Xia, and came to the formation to establish a firm decision.

"General Li, save me!" From afar, Wang Shizhong rushed towards Li Chengxian on his horse, shouting while running. After the horse, the Ming army was all disguised, in a mess, and ran desperately, and it was obvious that they were being chased by the Qing soldiers behind him.

"Hahaha..." Li Chengxian saw this and laughed to the sky.

Wang Shizhong ran and saw that Li Chengxian's army did not make way, but was ready. Li Chengxian's crazy laughter revealed his pride. He quickly stopped the reins and stopped at a place more than twenty feet away from Li Chengxian. He asked loudly in confusion: "General Li, what do you mean?"

"Wang Shizhong, haven't you always suspected that I was a false surrender? Well, Li will tell you clearly today, you guessed it right! Come on, kill me!" After Li Chengxian answered Wang Shizhong's words, he waved his hand and fired thousands of arrows from the Qing soldiers at the Ming army.

Wang Shizhong was prepared for a long time. While blocking the arrow with a shield, he drove away while driving the horse. The soldiers ran back.

"Kill!"

Li Chengxian ordered loudly again, and the Qing infantry rushed forward shouting.

Seeing that Wang Shizhong's team had faced the Qing soldiers behind him, Li Chengxian was overjoyed.

Suddenly, he found something was wrong.

Wang Shizhong's troops flashed to the side and gave way. The Qing army and horses in the north did not chase them, but rushed towards them.

"What's going on?" Li Chengxian couldn't help but wonder.

In fact, these horses dressed as Qing soldiers were Chen Yang's soldiers.

The so-called front and back attacks are just wishful imaginations of Li Chengxian and Prime Minister Xia.

This was exactly what Wang Shizhong had set up his plan.

If this plan is not used, how can you tell whether Li Chengxian is true or false in a short time?

Before the Qing soldiers could react, Chen Yang's cavalry rushed into the formation and instantly rushed the Qing soldiers' formation into pieces.

In addition to the horse team's attack and slashing sabers, the knights also threw grenades while rushing, specifically to crowded places.

"Boom boom boom"...

Explosions kept coming, and a large number of Qing soldiers were blown away without time to resist, crying for their father and mother!

The horse team was raging here, and Wang Shizhong reorganized his troops, holding grenades in his hands, shouting and repulsing.

"What's going on? Is this a trick played by Wang Shizhong?" Li Chengxian was still thinking stupidly about what was going on.

"Not good, I'm fooled! General Li, hurry up, retreat to the mountain, guard the danger, and wait for reinforcements." Xia Guoqian understood the situation and quickly suggested to Li Chengxian, who was already stupid.

"Quick, retreat to the mountain!" Li Chengxian reacted and hurriedly gave an order. At the same time, he turned his horse's head, left the main road, and fled to the Holy Land Mountain to the east.

When the Qing soldiers saw that the lord general had fled, they all followed his horse and fled to the mountain.

The Shengjing Mountain is not too high, only a hundred feet high. There is a gentle slope just westward, leading directly to the mountain.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

As soon as he climbed to the halfway point of the Holy Realm Mountain, Li Chengxian heard the deadly drum sounds coming from the mountain in horror, as if hitting his heart. When he looked up, a flag flashed from the top of the mountain with the big "Guo" embroidered on it.

It turned out that Guo Peidong had been ambushing here for a long time, waiting to fall into the trap.

When Li Chengxian saw this, his heart suddenly felt cold: "I have already planned it, and I am waiting for him to reveal my flaws. Now, I have not revenged my father's revenge and I have no way to escape!"

"General Li, retreat quickly!" Xia State Prime Minister shouted one after another.

The two of them turned around and ran down the mountain again, how could they have time? They saw countless wooden rocks rolling down the hillside like a torrent, and the two were instantly submerged in this torrent!

"Made, I can't even use a grenade!" Before Li Chengxian died, such a strange thought flashed through his mind...

All two thousand Qing soldiers were wiped out, and Zhang Tingqiang and Guo Peidong followed Wang Shizhong and others into Jingmen.

When Wang Shizhong arrived at the garrison palace, he had no time to rest, so he told Zhang Tingqiang and Guo Peidong about the detailed process of the defeat in Xiangyang. When talking about the tragic sacrifices of Gaojiling and Lu Chang, Zhang Tingqiang and Guo Peidong both had tears in their eyes and sighed.

"General Gao used his tragic death to save the grenades and mines from falling into the enemy. He was conveying a spirit, that is, 'will rather die than lose national integrity', especially in front of the national sinner Wu Sangui, this spirit is even more precious. We are all soldiers he brought out, and we cannot let his spirit be destroyed. We should use this spirit to educate and arm our army and shape our army into an invincible iron army. Only in this way can we be worthy of General Gao's spirit in the sky." Wang Shizhong said in the end.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Scholars, it seems that you have been thinking about this matter a lot these days. You are right. Ideological education is the strength of our army. In the future, this is the first new recruit to join the army, and the veterans will tell them about the deeds of General Gao. Our army led by General Gao must not be a coward. I believe that the soldiers will be inspired by General Gao's deeds, and a firm-willed iron army will be born as a result." Zhang Tingqiang said.

"General Zhang, is it that Jingmen is guarding or abandoning? Is there any trust in the Grand General?" Wang Shizhong asked.

"The Grand Marshal has received our report and he ordered us to withdraw back to Jingzhou." Zhang Tingqiang replied.

"Retreat? Why should we withdraw? We still have more than 5,000 soldiers, and we can fight, and the last general will avenge General Gao." Chen Yang asked dissatisfiedly.

"The future is long, and there are opportunities to take revenge. After receiving the information from the general, Luo Luohun's main force has arrived in Xiangyang and will arrive soon. Jingmen City is small, and Xiangyang is lost and there is no northern barrier, so it is difficult to hold on for a long time. Therefore, we quickly mobilize and organize the people to withdraw back to Jingzhou to make plans for the future." Zhang Tingqiang explained.
