Chapter 184: Changes in Henan (3)
In a clearing among the trees, Ren Zhu, the leader of the Twisted Army, did not know whether he should be happy or sad. In the battle against Monk Lingqin two days earlier, the fierce general of the Twist Army attacked the left flank of the Mongol Eight Banners, and two charges routed the enemy in front of him. He immediately led his troops to outflank the back road of Seng Lingqin, and made the greatest contribution to the annihilation of the Mongolian Eight Banners. However, the Hunan army defeated the infantry of the Twist Army, and the large camp of the Twist Army fell, and the Twist Army had to retreat south.
After this battle, the strength of the Twist Army was only about 10,000, and if there was anything to be gained, 10,000 people had more than 10,000 war horses, plus mules and horses and other animals that could ride but could not charge, the total number was close to 18,000. It can barely be called one man and two horses. Those who have been on the battlefield for a long time have their own perception of death, and their heavy hearts are quickly put aside. The warriors who have been bound by the past at all times have long since died on the battlefield.
"Gotta gather forage." Ren Zhu discussed the matter with the other cavalry leaders. It takes a while for the captured horses to be put to use, and if they are horses from the same cavalry unit, it would be better to say something, after all, everyone has similar accents and similar habits. The orders and techniques of the Mongolian Eight Banners Trend War Horse are very different from those of the Twisting Army, which takes time for the Mongolian horses to get used to the Twisting Army.
While discussing, Wen Yuewei led a dark and thin man into the clearing. Although the man was dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, his extremely shaved hair and the way he walked could be seen to be a marching man. Wen Yuewei introduced: "This is Hei Chenggang of the Liberation Army. ”
Everyone was stunned, and everyone in the Twist Army also had the intention of defecting to the Guangfu Army, and the consensus reached within the Twist Army after the last contact was to wait for the Guangfu Army to solve the Huai Army. Now that the Twist Army has solved the problem of Monk Greenqin but lost to the Hunan Army, the Twist Army suddenly appeared on behalf of the Liberation Army, and the Twist Army felt not so much embarrassed as a kind of surprise.
Hei Chenggang calmly walked up to the leaders of the Twist Army, greeted each other first, and Hei Chenggang said: "I am ordered to come this time, and I want to tell you one thing first, we have annihilated the Huai Army, and the three brothers Jiang Zhongyuan and Jiang Zhongjun have been killed. Vortex has also been liberated, and if you are willing to return to Vortex, our new government welcomes you. ”
The news was so intense that the generals of the Twist Army didn't expect things to have developed to such a point. Ren Zhu's face changed greatly, he stood up suddenly, first stared at Hei Chenggang, and then turned his head and whispered to the guards beside him: "Hurry up and ask Leader Zhang to come over!" ”
After personally inquiring about Hei Chenggang, Zhang Zongyu and the generals of the Twist Army convened a meeting by themselves. "Do I want to go back to Vortex Yang?" Zhang Zongyu asked everyone, he couldn't help but look in the direction of placing Hei Chenggang and the others, and there was malice in his eyes.
The loss of one's hometown and the killing of one's relatives were painful experiences. Now that my hometown has been taken away again, I still need to get the consent of outsiders if I want to go back to my hometown, and this feeling will definitely not lead to positive feelings. Zhang Zongyu has been licking blood for more than ten years, and in the face of the advantages of the Liberation Army, his first thought is how to drive the Liberation Army out of Wuyang.
Ren Zhu said: "I listened to them, and now they have sent troops to Shangqiu and are fighting westward. The Liberation Army is to the north of us, and there are also their soldiers to the south, and if we don't make a decision at this time, I'm afraid that it won't even be easy to make a decision in the future. ”
This is really the feeling of not waiting for me sometimes, and after the army arrives in a place by itself, it collects food on its own, and it is in a relationship with the local ruler. It is impossible for the Restoration Army to treat the Twist Army as an uncle, and the Twist Army fought with the Manchu Qing Dynasty on the territory of the Manchu Dynasty, and naturally fought with the Liberation Army on the territory of the Liberation Army. This contradiction is unlikely to change. The leaders of all the families looked at each other, all thinking about how to position their relationship with the Liberation Army.
The malice in Zhang Zongyu's eyes finally subsided a lot, and rational sentiment prevailed. The Huai army is not easy to fight at all, and the Twist Army is deeply touched by this. The Guangfu Army is probably not bragging, they have already annihilated the Huai Army at this time. The Twist Army and the Restoration Army really fought against each other, no matter how you look at it, the Twist Army has no chance of winning.
"The Liberation Army invites us to turn back and fight the Hunan Army together, will there be any tricks?" Ren Zhu regained his reason earlier, and he asked about the question that concerned him the most.
Zhang Zongyu said calmly: "Let us follow the Hunan army first, and after the battle, we will be allowed to surrender." I'm afraid that the Liberation Army is holding such a plan. ”
Ren Zhu nodded slightly, he didn't want to surrender to any force. It's better to do it for yourself than to do it with anyone!
Just when the two leaders were feeling lonely and self-appreciating in their hearts, a cold female voice sounded among the participants, "Two masters! We're just going to wait until we can't turn the other cheeks with the Liberation Army? ”
Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Yuewei's face who spoke, and there were not many twisted troops who dared to be so polite in the tone of Zhang Zongyu and Ren Zhu, as for the rather mocking meaning in the tone, that kind of guy was even rarer. But Wen Yuewei undoubtedly has this qualification, she really made a name for herself fifteen years ago, leading the Twist Army to follow Wei Ze's Northern Expedition, and the people who made the most money were those commanded by Wen Yuewei. What's more, Wen Yuewei's seniority is the same as that of the leaders of the previous wave, which invisibly increases her right to speak.
Wen Yuewei is not the type of person who is silent after saying a word casually, she doesn't care how much she is stunned or malicious in the eyes of others, she said with a very calm attitude: "You want to fight the world yourself, or follow others to fight the world." I came out to fight with everyone this time, just because the Qing Demon hit our Vortex Yang. Now that the Huai army has been killed by the Guangfu army, I don't want to fight the Hunan army again. Zhang's family, I just want to take our brothers over there to go back to my hometown to live in peace, but I don't know if you agree. ”
Zhang Zongyu was choked enough by this, Wen Yuewei said it well, and took her brother back to her hometown to live in peace, with her taking the lead, how many brothers would follow Wen Yuewei to the side of the Liberation Army. Wen Yuewei is not talking about going home at all, but openly defecting to the Guangfu Army.
Ren Zhu and Zhang Zongyu figured out Wen Yuewei's thoughts, as a powerful hero, able to defeat the cavalry master who eliminated the Eight Banners of the Mongols of Monk Lingqin head-on, Ren Zhu naturally had his own ideas. He originally opened his mouth to oppose Wen Yuewei's suggestion, but when he saw that many of the leaders of the Twist Army around him heard the words "go home and live in peace", there were all kinds of longings on their faces. It's been too long since everyone left home, and after so long fighting, how can people not yearn for the opportunity to go home when they are really in front of them.
Seeing that no one openly opposed her, Wen Yuewei stood up and said to the leaders: "Brothers, I am worried about the children in the family, and I will leave now." ”
After speaking, Wen Yuewei strode away from the leader's circle, and everyone looked at her farther away, without even looking back.
