"Report! An Eight Banners Army was spotted ten miles ahead!" The scout immediately reported the news to Sony who was on the march.
What is Sony's mission?
Pursue Li Dingguo.
Why pursue Li Dingguo?
Because Li Dingguo had people pretend to be Eight Banners soldiers and come to the capital of their Qing Dynasty.
Not only did he display the national flag of the Ming Dynasty in front of Fulin, he also shouted slogans such as "The Ming army is mighty, kill the Jiannu and recover Liaodong!"
This great humiliation made everyone lose face.
Sony must kill Li Dingguo to save face.
But the problem is...
Kong Youde and his generals were unaware of Sony's expedition.
Sony didn't know that Kong Youde had been defeated, and he didn't know that the Quanjie who defeated him were led by real Eight Banners soldiers.
so...
After hearing the traces of the Eight Banners Army ahead, Sony's first reaction was anger.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You think impersonating once is not enough, but you want to impersonate again. This is simply too much!"
"Everyone," Sony drew his sword and raised it high in the air, "We found a fake Eight Banners Army ahead. They were the ones who slapped us in the face under Shengjing City yesterday. Tell me, can we swallow this?"
"No, no!" The Eight Banners soldiers stared with their eyes wide open and their faces flushed as they shouted.
"Okay!" Sony paused and said, "Next, divide the troops into three groups! Block the front and encircle the two wings. We must annihilate this fake Eight Banners Ming army!"
"Go!" Sony said and rushed out first.
The remaining Eight Banners soldiers were divided into three military formations under the leadership of their respective generals.
General Quan Jie, a general under Kong Youde, was retreating northward.
It is well known that it is difficult to send scouts to explore the way when escaping.
Most of the time I am in a panic.
So when Quanjie discovered Sony, the two armies were less than two or three miles apart.
He was about to send someone to inquire and verify the other party's identity, but saw the other party charging towards him.
Quan Jie showed an expression of disbelief: "What the hell is going on? Why are there fake Eight Banner soldiers everywhere? Where are the real Eight Banner soldiers?"
The people around him looked ashen...
The continuous fighting and fleeing not only made the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted, but even the horses under their crotch were out of breath.
Not to mention continuing to fight, I can't even run fast.
"Surrender!" Everyone in the whole section decided to give up.
It is better to surrender early than to be killed.
At this time, the two armies were less than a mile apart.
Quanjie first ordered his men to take down the central army flag, then laid down their weapons and chose to surrender.
Sony and his soldiers were already overwhelmed with anger.
They need to vent their anger, not accept surrender.
Amid the sound of horse hooves, Quan Jie and the remnants of his defeated troops were overwhelmed by countless Eight Banners soldiers.
By the time Sony learned the truth, all the soldiers under his command had been killed, and most of them were also killed.
Sony, determined to kill everyone under his command, issued an order to kill them all.
As long as he leaves no one alive, no one will know that he killed the wrong person.
......
Fifteen miles north of Liaoyang City, Kong Youde was as anxious as a dog that had lost its home, and as busy as a fish that had escaped the net.
He couldn't understand why the main force of the Ming army did not chase Quanjie who was fleeing northward, but instead focused on chasing him?
Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the Ming army again, the guards beside him shouted: "We will find a way to delay the Ming army, Your Majesty, please leave quickly!"
Kong Youde looked around.
Now there are only about a thousand people around him.
The other soldiers either ran away in the chaos, were killed by the Ming army, or surrendered.
It is no longer realistic to bring everyone back.
He nodded and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for your help!"
Then he rode forward and fled alone at full speed.
Led by hundreds of personal soldiers, more than a thousand cavalrymen formed a horizontal formation to block the Ming army's way.
There were nearly 10,000 Ming troops pursuing them, and just over a thousand people could not stop them at all.
This makeshift human wall was quickly crushed by the iron hooves of the Ming army.
Although they did not stop the Ming army, they slowed down the Ming army's pursuit.
Kong Youde took the opportunity to run forward for several miles.
Just when he thought he could escape the Ming army's pursuit, trouble arose.
He...is lost.
In order to escape, he didn't dare to take the official road.
We walked on small paths and even in the wilderness.
Looking at the river appearing in front of him, Kong Youde had no choice but to rein in his horse.
If you take the official road, there will be a bridge at the intersection of the official road and the river.
But he was lost.
Although the sun in the sky can help him point the direction, it cannot tell him whether the bridge is on the left or right.
After a period of hesitation, Kong Youde decided to go right.
Keep walking.
After walking for a long time, I didn't see any bridge, let alone a boatman ferrying people across the river.
"Did I go the wrong way?" Kong Youde began to doubt himself.
If you really go the wrong way, you will have to keep walking for a long way before you see the bridge again.
If I didn't go the wrong way, why can't I see the bridge?
Kong Youde thought for a while while riding on the horse, then dismounted.
He found a nearby wooden stick and probed the bottom of the river, intending to force his way across the river.
Unfortunately...the river is very deep and the current is strong.
In desperation, he could only let the horse drink some water and then continue to move to the right.
After walking a few steps, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.
Kong Youde was shocked and immediately lay on the horse's back and looked around for a place to hide.
But there was nothing but wasteland nearby, and there was no place to hide.
As the noisy sound of horse hooves got closer, Kong Youde became more and more anxious.
In desperation, he could only dismount and hide in a small ditch, and drive the warhorse away.
