Follow me to break out and rush to Songshan's aid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding personal guards immediately began transmitting Lan Yu's orders to every camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that single thunderous shout from Lan Yu,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire Ming army seemed, in an instant, to suddenly find its backbone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone gradually found what they ought to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lan Yu gripped his long spear, his gaze locked tightly onto the forward army camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorgon, locked in fierce combat within the forward army camp, suddenly shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he could not help but feel a killing intent soaring to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Dorgon wondered at this,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he suddenly heard the rapid pounding of hooves approaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was followed by a thunderous shout laced with a Huaixi accent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dog Tartar, yield your life to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after came the whistling rush of the long spear cleaving through the cold wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp \"Crack!\" rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The horseman's saber in Dorgon's hand was smashed clean in two at the waist by the long spear in Lan Yu's grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, the spear shaft slammed into the heart-guarding mirror on Dorgon's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A deafening \"Bang!\" exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dorgon felt his body go light, and his entire person flew off the warhorse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he crashed heavily onto the ground, already frozen hard by ice and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Protect the Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, are you unharmed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, your slave is

out,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a sudden fear arose in Dorgon's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the fear of death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having grown up in the army since childhood, Dorgon felt for the first time that death was so close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu's long spear fought through the chaotic ranks again and again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet under the desperate protection of several dozen Bannermen from the Plain White Banner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he simply could not get close to Dorgon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Lan Yu was locked in fierce battle with the Bannermen,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Shenxuan, inside the tent, had already climbed onto a warhorse and, pointing at the Bannermen in the distance, shouted himself hoarse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lads, avenge us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhu Zhu Shenxuan, tears and snot streaming down his face, led several dozen Fengguo Commandants from the Jin Prince's Manor and charged out on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In camps everywhere,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these \"spoiled scions,\" who usually lived in luxury, mostly cried as they grabbed weapons and threw themselves into slaughter against the Bannermen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If their blades were knocked away, they would bite with their teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When flesh-and-blood kin fell dead one after another before their eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>death itself ceased to inspire fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bannermen, whose momentum had been so fierce, were gradually beaten into a decline by these Ming troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, their strength began to fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was precisely at this moment\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that several warhorses galloped out from Hong Taiji's dragon tent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found Dorgon, still fighting on the front lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Beile, His Majesty has issued an edict ordering us to withdraw at once!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stunned by Lan Yu's assault, Dorgon cast a cold glance at Lan Yu, who was still cutting a path through the camp,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then gritted his teeth and issued his own command:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Withdraw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Withdraw!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the protection of several bond servants, the wounded Dorgon was lifted onto a horse and fled in disarray toward Songshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Qing army began its retreat,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the morale throughout the entire Ming camp shifted abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Yujian and Zhu Zhu Shenxuan vaulted onto their horses, pointed into the distance, and roared themselves hoarse:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lads, today we of the Zhu clan will fight these dog Tartars to the death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who fear death are no kin of the Zhu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, bursts of battle cries erupted from the tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those who fear death are no kin of the Zhu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the battle cries of these imperial clansmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of relief finally arose in Lan Yu's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are indeed Old Zhu's offspring!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving behind more than twenty thousand corpses at Xingshan, the 250,000 Ming soldiers continued killing their way toward Songshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it was clearly far from going as smoothly as Lan Yu had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this great battle, quite a few soldiers in the Ming camp had already contracted wind-cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those suffering from unrelenting high fevers were countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly every day, someone died of illness within the tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu's brows knitted tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At such a critical juncture, the march absolutely could not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they stopped, nothing but total disaster awaited the entire army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before being cut down by the Tartars, at least half the army would perish from wind-cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lan Yu was forcing a high-intensity march to quickly close the distance to Songshan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A canyon never marked on any map suddenly appeared before their eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu's heart immediately gave a heavy thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after the vanguard entered the canyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waves of battle cries immediately erupted from the hills on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless Eight Banners soldiers shouted from the valley slopes in clumsy Han speech:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kill the Han dogs, slaughter the Zhu kings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless rolling stones and flaming oil tumbled down the hillsides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire canyon became a sea of fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene, Lan Yu's originally taut nerves finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as troops from various camps poured into the canyon and charged up the foothills on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu, with a grave expression, looked at two personal guards beside him and ordered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From here north to Jinzhou is no more than a hundred li; run fast, and you can reach Jinzhou before noon tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang froze upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"General, what do you mean by these words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu cast a cold glance at Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang and gritted his teeth as he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A child of a thousand gold pieces does not sit beneath an eaves; for Your Highness to have followed us this far is already enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I beg Your Highness to proceed to Jinzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will not go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang's expression darkened; gripping his sword, he stepped forward to engage the Qing troops in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang had taken more than a few steps,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he heard a somewhat weary voice from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crown Prince, do you wish for us to die in vain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang's body instantly froze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For no other reason\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>than that this statement carried too heavy a weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the people of the realm,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>those who fell in battle were all imperial clansmen of the Great Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these men were all his elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang struggled to turn his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he realize\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that the one standing behind him was none other than the Prince of Tang, Zhu Zhu Yujian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great-Uncle...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Yujian looked coldly at Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang and rebuked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We are of no use to the state; if we die, we die.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Crown Prince is the foundation of the state.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you were to die, and disputes over the state's foundation were to arise again at court,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"could Your Highness truly find peace in your conscience?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang immediately opened his mouth to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No 'buts'!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, immediately, proceed to Jinzhou!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Zhu Yujian stared fixedly at Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang, brooking no dissent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment ago, Zhu Zhu Yujian was the Prince of Tang and Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang the Crown Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in this moment, Zhu Zhu Yujian was the great-uncle, and Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang merely the grandnephew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhu Zhu Zhu Cilang could offer any explanation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two Personal Guards dragged him directly onto a carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, they vanished into the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lan Yu scrutinized Zhu Zhu Yujian carefully; the two exchanged no words, then immediately charged toward the distant canyon, one following the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the entire canyon was already ablaze, flames piercing the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the hillside, Hong Taiji stared fixedly at Jirgalang, Ajige, and others behind him, shouting harshly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is the oil I ordered you to transfer from Shengjing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your Majesty, Shengjing has no oil left; let alone fire oil, even the petroleum from the fire oil workshop has been shipped here directly!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firelight flickered continuously across Hong Taiji's face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hong Taiji's features appeared increasingly grotesque.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then transfer more! Bean oil, lard—anything that can burn, send it all here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>these Ming troops outnumbered the Qing forces several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a fire attack, it was nearly impossible for the Qing army to annihilate this group of Ming soldiers completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Kong Youde's Deng-Lai New Army completed reloading their ammunition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the rumbling sound of cannon fire,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the entire canyon transformed into a sea of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as all Eight Banners troops were successively committed to the battlefield,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Fan Wencheng, who stood atop the canyon overlooking the battle, gradually turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were simply too many unusual aspects about this Ming army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were clearly all new recruits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet their fighting spirit far exceeded that of any other Ming force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the elite troops of the Nine Borders, once a battle had reached this stage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they should have been routed by now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it truly just because these men were all relatives by blood or marriage?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were truly the case,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a massive family this must be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Fan Fan Wencheng's heart suddenly gave a thump.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: Petroleum was named by Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty in \"Dream Pool Essays\".)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>79, Fan Fan Wencheng: Where on earth did this army come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where in the world could such a huge family come from?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ominous premonition instantly arose in Fan Fan Wencheng's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately waved his hand, summoning several Personal Guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Fan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With an ugly expression, Fan Fan Wencheng looked at the few men before him and whispered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have the Ming troops at Xingshan collected the corpses yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet. With the battle raging like this, who would have time to collect corpses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fan Fan Wencheng clenched his teeth tightly and ordered in a low voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immediately send people to Xingshan to find the waist tablets of those slain Ming soldiers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In short, anything that can prove their identity—the more, the better.
