Chapter 405: I'm afraid he will abandon the city and flee

Chen Guotai was built for four years, on the eighth day of the lunar month, at nine o'clock in the morning, outside Xiao County, west of Xuzhou City, a fierce battle, which should be a bloody massacre to be precise, has now ended successfully!

On the artillery position of the Qi army where Xiao Yao was standing, the stench of blood was now permeating, there were mutilated corpses everywhere, there were broken human organs everywhere, the blood melted the ice and snow, and the blood seeped into the soft soil of the shells and bombs.

Xiao Yao looked at the three battalion commanders under his command with a satisfied face: Huang Wenyuan, the commander of the cavalry battalion who had been leading his subordinates to slash and kill the enemy, was the most high-spirited, full of arrogance, and was smiling proudly at Xiao Yao! I saw that he was splashed with the blood of the enemy, and there was a strong smell of blood from all over his body, and the saber on his waist was really deformed by him, and now he couldn't completely insert it back into the sheath, and could only expose half of it indecently, which showed how many Qi troops he had just slashed!

And the commander of the musket battalion, He Fu, was also full of excitement, and his face was even blackened by the gunpowder smoke emitted when the flintlock was fired, which showed how many shots he had fired at the enemy just now!

So among the three people, the cleanest one is Li Nong, the battalion commander of the artillery battalion! And Li Nong is now also full of smiles, and the whole person looks very relaxed, after all, now Zhang Dabao has been captured alive, and Gao Changgong has also been defeated by the Forward Brigade, he was very self-blaming because of the defeat of Linying County, hatred and regret have been pressing on his chest for a year, and he is finally relieved today!

"Excellent! I'm very satisfied with your performance! Today, we not only defeated Gao Changgong and shamed before the snow, but also captured Zhang Dabao, a traitor, alive! It seems that in the past year, you have not given up on yourself, but turned your grief into motivation and trained hard, not only did none of the veterans lose confidence, but also made those new soldiers like veterans, very proficient in all kinds of operations of our forward brigade! ”

"Thank you, Commander, for the compliment!" The three of them immediately stepped up vigorously, raised their hands to salute Xiao Yao and said, and there was a lot of stinky blood splashed!

Dodging the splashing blood, Xiao Yao said with a disgusted face: "Okay, it stinks here, and there are disgusting things everywhere!" Let's quickly pack up, and then immediately set off for Xiapi County! ”

"We're going to leave so soon? The brothers have just finished a beautiful battle, and this Xiao County is also the first city recovered by our forward brigade in Huaibei, doesn't the commander hold a ceremony to enter the city, so that the brothers can all enter the city to be happy, so as to strengthen our great Chen Guowei? Huang Wenyuan suggested with a dirty face.

Killing so many people just now made Huang Wenyuan and many of the soldiers of the forward brigade very excited, and Zhang Dabao was not immediately executed by Xiao Yao, resulting in many people still having an unswallowable grievance in their hearts, and they all need to vent it! Therefore, if the winner enters the city, then not only can he find a woman to vent, but also he can make a windfall of all kinds of tricks and robberies against those rich people in the city! After all, if they won the battle before, Xiao Yao would allow Huang Wenyuan and his subordinates to go crazy to grab the spoils of war, money, food, and women!

"Entrance ceremony? A small Xiao County, I don't care about it yet! And now, although we have defeated Gao Changgong, we have not yet achieved complete victory! Gao Changgong fled to Xiapi County with one of his cavalry, nearly 5,000 cavalry, which is not a small threat! Xiao Yao shook his head and said.

"Although Gao Changgong now fled to Xiapi County with these remnants of the defeated army, as long as Xuzhou City is captured by General Lu, then Xiapi County will become a lonely city of the Qi army in Huaibei, even if there are many defenders in Xiapi County, no matter how they are ready to defend the city, our forward brigade will definitely be able to break through Xiapi County and capture Gao Changgong alive!" Huang Wenyuan said domineeringly, he just won an overwhelming victory, so he is now very confident in the strength of the forward brigade, so now he can be said to be completely ignorant of any opponents!

"I'm not afraid that Gao Changgong will stick to Xiapi County, and even hope that Gao Changgong will stay in Xiapi County, so that we don't have to look for him everywhere, I'm just afraid that he will be frightened by our attack just now, after arriving in Xiapi County, he doesn't dare to defend the city and fight with us, and flee back to Qi with all the soldiers! In this way, our expedition to Huaibei this time will not be a complete victory! Xiao Yao shook his head and said with a wry smile.

Because he knows that Gao Changgong is definitely not a reckless man, and he will not send all his soldiers to a dead end because of his impulsiveness and willfulness! Therefore, it is very likely that Gao Changgong will not suffer the immediate loss, and abandon the city and flee in order to preserve his strength!

Sometimes, the strength is too strong, which will also bring a kind of invincibility and the loneliest distress! Xiao Yao suddenly had a lonely feeling of having no opponent in his heart!

"If Gao Changgong is really scared by us and doesn't dare to fight, then will it be too late for us to rush to Xiapi County now? The artillery battalion has to drag four such heavy guns, as well as so many supplies and ammunition, plus there is snow everywhere now, and the road is difficult to walk, I am afraid that it will take us at least two days to reach Xiapi County! Li Nong said worriedly.

"That's no way around it! I won't make the big mistake of dividing my troops to fight like last time, sending a cavalry battalion and an artillery battalion to intercept Gao Changgong in order to stop Gao Changgong, but leaving the artillery battalion behind! But now even if Gao Changgong wants to abandon the city and flee to Xiapi County, then the direction of his escape can only be to flee in the direction of Xuzhou in the north! Because there is our forward brigade chasing all the way to the west, and I believe that now Lu Guangda has also broken through Xuzhou City and blocked the direction of Gao Changgong's flight to the north, so he can only escape to North Xuzhou in the northeast! Xiao Yao analyzed.

"If Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, really escapes back to his fiefdom Lanling County, then it will be easy to do, and we will directly capture Northern Xuzhou together, and then the entire area south of the Yellow River will belong to our Chen State!" And isn't the commander the descendant of the Lanling Xiao family, so the master of Lanling County should be the commander, when will it be his turn to be the king of Lanling! Huang Wenyuan said with a laugh.

Xiao Yao suddenly showed a very meaningful look, looked at Huang Wenyuan intently, and saw that Huang Wenyuan suddenly had a panicked feeling in his heart, and immediately stopped smiling, and said with a look of confusion: "Why is the commander looking at me like this, is it because I said something wrong?" Shouldn't we go to attack North Xuzhou? ”

Xiao Yao looked at Huang Wenyuan expressionlessly, and then suddenly laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you reminded me that Lanling County is indeed a more meaningful place for me Xiao Yao!" The Lanling Xiao clan defeated the King of Lanling in Lanling County, haha, it does sound like a very interesting thing! ”

"I'll just say, the commander is a descendant of the Xiao clan of Lanling, and he is deeply rooted and has a long history in Lanling County, how can he compare to the commander of Lanling! But that kind of look in your eyes just now really scared me to death, I thought I said something wrong again, and then the commander you want to punish me for feeding the horses and picking up dung! ”

"Today you have made a great contribution, I can't reward you too late, how can I punish you! But now is not the time to relax, when we take Xiapi County, then the whole Xuzhou is defeated, then we will celebrate well! Xiao Yao comforted the frightened Huang Wenyuan and laughed loudly.
