Chapter 202: Pursuing the Fifth Battalion of the Left Side
In this battle, more than 10,000 rogues were killed, and in addition to the two days of defense of the 1st Brigade, the rogue army lost nearly 30,000 people and captured 35,000 people.
Although the results of this battle were great, Zhu Cihong did not dare to be careless, the losses of more than 10,000 elites of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution were not large, and it was always a scourge to keep them, maybe they could raise an army of 100,000 when they ran to Huguang.
Just as Zhu Cihong was sitting in the camp thinking about how to solve it completely, Xu Sheng walked in and sent a war report: "Your Highness, the thief army attacked Huoshan County last night. ”
Zhu Cihong took the battle report and glanced at it, and immediately said: "Chase!" ”
.........
When Zhu Cihong led the army to Huoshan County, he saw that the city was full of smoke, and most of the places had become rubble emitting heat, and many people had died in the fire, and as many as 1,000 people were burned and scalded in the fire, and many people were very seriously injured and died, and the sound of crying in the city was endless, and it was unbearable to see.
After Ma Shouying robbed Huoshan County, he set fire to the county seat in order to attract the attention of officers and soldiers and buy time for his escape.
Fortunately, the Tianwu Army did not find out early at night, and sent troops to extinguish the flames in time, and rescued a group of people who were besieged by the fire, but many places were still burned.
Zhu Cihong was shocked and angry, while letting people relieve the affected people, he ordered the army to go into the mountains to pursue, and he must completely cripple the fifth battalion of the left and destroy it!
In Huoshan County, some of the remaining Tianwu soldiers began to set up tents and simple shacks for those whose houses were burned down to live, but fortunately it is now September, the weather is neither hot nor cold, and the environment has little impact on survival.
Zhu Cihong also took out the military supplies of the Tianwu Army to relieve the people, and at the same time sent an order to the nearest Lu'an Prefecture to transport a batch of food and medicinal materials for the relief of the people.
The people are very grateful to the crown prince and the Tianwu army, they not only took the risk to extinguish the fire, but also distributed the military food to the people, and let the military doctors treat the wounded of the people, the Ming Dynasty had such an army, so the people have great respect for the Tianwu army, the crown prince is benevolent and loves the people, and the name of the benevolent and righteous division of the Tianwu army has gradually spread in the Jiangnan region.
After dealing with the affairs of Huoshan County, Zhu Cihong only left one regiment of Tuntian soldiers in Huoshan in case of contingencies, and he personally led the army into Huoshan to pursue the 5th Battalion of Gezuo.
After two days of rapid marching, Zhu Cihong finally caught up with Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan, who had entered the mountain first, in the area of Father and Son Ridge.
At present, nearly 50,000 officers and soldiers have entered Huoshan, 15,000 Tianwu troops are responsible for pursuing the old camp, 30,000 Tuntian soldiers are searching for the scattered rogues, and more than 10,000 heavy soldiers are responsible for transporting grain and logistics.
Some of the thieves who were originally going to join the old camp were chased and killed by the Tuntian soldiers everywhere in Huoshan Mountain, and the misery of hiding in Tibet was unspeakable, and within a few days, many people were hungry and chose to surrender.
With the route into the mountain provided by Long Xiang and the escape direction markers of the thieves, the Tianwu Army pursued the old battalion of the fifth battalion of the left side of the revolution, and when they caught up, they were slashed fiercely.
Most of the remaining soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution are old battalion soldiers, everyone rides horses, and their mobility is very strong, but fortunately, many of the mountain roads are rugged and inconvenient to run horses, so that the Tianwu Army can stick to the back and not open too much distance.
The Royal Cavalry Regiment of the Tianwu Army and the cavalry regiments directly under each brigade had encountered the old battalion soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Revolution Zuo several times in front, and they also fought several times, and the old battalion soldiers did not dare to fight, and each time they ran away again after leaving hundreds of corpses.
In Huoshan Mountain, which is several hundred miles in radius, a magnificent game of catching thieves by officers and soldiers was staged, and nearly 100,000 people either hid or chased after Huoshan Mountain.
Ma Shouying was depressed along the way, he thought that the officers and soldiers had arrived, and he was just going to repair it in the mountains, and by the way, he wanted to go where to develop in the future, but he didn't expect the emperor's son to personally lead the troops to chase him, which made him extremely angry, Lao Tzu lost several games along the way, and also left a lot of old battalion heads, it's interesting enough, why haven't you played yet, do you have to kill all the people?
The more Ma Shouying thought about it, the more angry he became, and decided to send someone to talk to the officers and soldiers.
In the temporary camp of the Tianwu Army, Zhu Cihong was discussing the military situation with Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, predicting the direction of Liukou's next escape, and preparing to send people to make a detour to block the road in advance.
Xu Sheng entered the account and reported: "Your Highness, there is a thief outside who wants to see Huang Lushuai!" ”
Huang Degong smiled: "Is that thief going to want to surrender?" ”
Zhu Cihong was also curious, and said, "Let him come in." ”
A thief-eyed thief general entered the tent and saw two generals and a young man inside, he was slightly surprised in his heart, and secretly said that this Huang Degong was still dragging his family in the war.
However, which of these two generals is Huang Degong? It's not good to be wrong for a while.
After thinking about it for a while, this thief general immediately made a choice with his super analytical ability, he hugged his fist at Sun Yingyuan, and said with a smile: "The villain is the general of the Chinese army who is in charge of the plate and sits down, see General Huang!" ”
Before Sun Yingyuan could speak, the thief general said: "In the first battle of Lu'an, the chief boss admires Huang Zongbing, and calls you the first general of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Huang Degong couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "Can you fucking look at people and praise them again?" ”
Zhu Cihong on the side didn't speak, just smiled, the mountains were rugged, Zhu Cihong didn't wear armor, just a dark clothes.
There are five chapters on the pattern of this dark color regular dress, the two shoulders are the dragon, the back is the mountain, and the two sleeves are tattooed with fire, Chinese insects, and Zong Yi, three in each sleeve.
If it was an official of the Ming Dynasty, you would know his identity if you looked closely, but the thief didn't understand, and no one knew what these things represented.
Speaking of the shape of clothes, the clothes of the crown prince and the prince and the prince of the county have strict differences in details such as color and pattern, such as the crown prince as the prince, he can use the same dark shirt as the emperor, while the prince, the prince of the county, the prince and so on can only use Tsing Yi.
The dark color is black, although Zhu Cihong's clothes show two dragons on his shoulders, but because of the color difference and position of the clothes, the thief general did not see what his identity was, but only regarded it as Huang Degong's family.
As soon as the thief heard Huang Degong's words, he immediately realized that he had recognized the wrong person, but he was quite thick-skinned, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating at Huang Degong and he hugged his fist and said: "The villain is the general of the Chinese army who is always in charge of the plate and sits down, see General Huang!" In the first battle of Lu'an, the general manager ....... to the general soldier of Huang"
Huang Degong interrupted him and said, "Come on!" You fucking get down to business, don't talk about those useless things! ”
The thief general laughed dryly and said, "Master Ma asked me to ask you, do you want to fight in literature or martial arts?" ”
Huang Degong frowned and said, "Wendou or martial arts?" Is the brain of the surname Ma abnormal? Lao Tzu is a military general, do you say Wendou or Wudou? ”
The thief general was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and said: "It turns out that the chief soldier doesn't know how to do it, Ma Ye means that after this battle, the merit of the chief soldier has been great, and it is not a problem to add officials and rewards, no matter how much you kill, it is still like this, it is better to make some benefits!" ”
Sun Yingyuan on the side said: "What do you mean?" ”
