Chapter 469: Let's Go to Yellow Springs!
On the side of the Ming army, half of the troops of Ying Tianfu were sent to Yizhen, which was an army that had no return, and the remaining Liao Zhongping could not move, and the sailors in the hands of Wang Zhiren cooperated with the Qian family's uncle and nephew to forcibly land on the north shore and forcibly attacked Jiangxin Island.
Xia Wanchun's department lost most of it, and Wu Zheng's department lost seventy percent, which was in one place, which was less than a part of the people before the war.
In this case, if you want to cross the river to rescue the siege of Yizhen, then some fools are dreaming, and it is already good to be able to defend the Dantu and the fruits in hand.
In other words, the instrument is true...... There is no help.
Regardless of whether Wu Zheng is really ruthless or not, this ending is already doomed.
……。
Looking at the dark night sky in the direction of Yizhen on the other side of the river, Wu Zheng had been standing straight for nearly an hour.
The generals stood far away, not daring to come forward to persuade.
Only Xia Wanchun beside him was relieved: "Although Yizhen has fallen into the encirclement, the Qing army has not surrounded the south, and there is a Xingguo Gongshui Division on the river to respond, the two generals want to break through, and ......it is still okay to come." ”
Can it really be?
It really can!
When the battle comes to this, I am afraid that even the Qing army hopes that the Yizhen Ming army will take the initiative to retreat, and Wu Sangui thinks so.
If the Ming army is really desperate to gather all the troops to fight a battle across the river, then Jiangbei may not be able to hold it, and then the situation will be erosive, and he will be the one who bears the blame, which is also Wu Sangui's tactical deployment of "encircling three and one" without cutting off the retreat of the Ming army.
There is no point in fighting a completely unnecessary war of attrition with a mortal army.
What Wu Sangui wants is to recover Yizhen.
At this time, revenge for Li Guohan has become secondary.
Wu Sangui sent people to shoot letters at the head of the city, hoping that the Ming army would retreat and stop making senseless resistance, Wu Sangui even promised that he would never send the Qing army to pursue, and also threatened that if the Ming army did not retreat when the sun rose tomorrow, then he would strike with all his strength and never die.
……。
In Yizhen City, the Qian family's uncle and nephew were drinking.
It's been ten days, and this is their first drink in Yizhen, and what they think is their last.
The uncle and nephew of the Qian family who were besieged could not get any information about the battle situation outside the city at all.
They only know that the lone army has been guarding Yizhen for ten days.
Regardless of the situation of the battle, after ten days of defense, the task should be completed.
But whether the Ming army has recovered Zhenjiang or not, they don't know, it's always good to keep it for one more day.
It can always increase the success of the Ming army to recover Zhenjiang.
The uncle and nephew drank quietly, but there were tears in their eyes.
These tears have bitterness and indignation, but there is no lack of ...... There are no regrets.
Seek benevolence and be benevolent, and the husband should be like a servant.
Their bitterness is that the Ming army did not reinforce Yizhen after all, and they were indignant that Wu Zheng's words caused more than 20,000 Ming troops to die here.
The wine is not good, light in color and turbid, it is not authentic Shaoxing rice wine at all, but an inferior wine produced in Jiashan.
Qian Sudian suddenly spoke: "One of the Qian family has died here, it's enough!" Whether it is to the court or to your father, you can give an account...... You break through overnight. ”
Qian Qiaogong smiled, smiling casually, "Uncle is right, one more person will not help, you and I have one person here." can talk about seniority, you are an uncle, in terms of official position, you are the main general, how can there be a reason that an uncle dies and a nephew lives, and the main general dies and the deputy general survives...... Uncle breakthrough is the right thing. ”
"Ridiculous!" Qian Sudian said angrily, "Since you know that I am an uncle, I am the chief general, the order of the elder, and the military order of the official, do you dare to disobey?" Listen to me, break out tonight! ”
"Drink." Qian Qiaogong responded to his uncle's anger lightly, "Before the expedition, I had kowtowed to my father three times, my filial piety has been exhausted, and what I have not finished is my loyalty, if I leave my uncle and go back alone, how to face my father, how to face the uncles and brothers of the Qian family?" The uncle doesn't have to persuade him anymore, and the nephew will never leave alone. ”
Qian Sudian's anger gradually dissipated, and he persuaded bitterly: "But you are still a child after all, even a parent, your father is your only son, you have to be the heir of your father and son, right?" Listen to my uncle, let's go back. ”
"My uncle is only three years older than me, and he is not married, so I can tell him that."
"Nonsense! I am dead, and your father and Su Fan, Su Xun and other brothers are here, but when you die, your father will cut off the incense under his knees. ”
"Life and death are fate, uncle doesn't have to persuade me anymore, unless you kill me, otherwise you and my uncle and nephew die together, which is also a good story."
Qian Sudian looked at Qian Qiaogong in a daze, knowing that he couldn't persuade this nephew who was gentle on the surface but stubborn in his heart, he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's always like this, you haven't heard my words since you were a child...... Well, in that case, you and my uncle and nephew will go to Huangquan together! ”
As he spoke, he and Qian Qiaogong exchanged cups and drank them.
After drinking a few bowls, Qian Qiaogong excused himself and said, "Uncle, tomorrow's decisive battle, you can't drink anymore." ”
Qian Sudian was drunk, shook his hand and said: "There are only less than 4,000 people left in the city, tomorrow's battle is the last battle, no matter how you and I resist, the loss of Yizhen is a foregone conclusion, you and I just want to drag the main force of the Qing army and fight for one more day for our army to recover Zhenjiang." In this case, whether you are drunk today or not has nothing to do with the overall situation...... Come, since you and my uncle and nephew will go to Huangquan together tomorrow, it is better to have a good drink today, and this life will not be in vain. ”
Looking at his uncle's slightly drunk face, Qian Qiaogong gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle is right...... Anyway, today I will accompany my uncle to get drunk and rest! ”
I don't know when, Qian Qiaogong was already drunk and lay on the table.
Qian Sudian, who was already drunk, raised his head and pushed the drunk Qian Qiaogong, Qian Qiaogong unconsciously waved his hand, smacked his mouth and fell asleep.
"Come out!" Qian Sudian shouted lightly, how could there be a trace of drunkenness like that.
The two figures flashed out, and they were the other two younger brothers Qian Sufan and Qian Suxuan who followed Qian Sule's righteousness.
"Fifth brother, seventh brother, please!"
The two of them replied: "Ninth brother, take care!" ”
……。
A team of 100 people quietly came out of the south gate of Yizhen.
Wu Sangui, who got the reward, smiled, since there is a first, there will naturally be a second and third.
He waved his hand and did not give the order to intercept.
In his opinion, this is the best outcome.
But Wu Sangui thought so, but the Qing army on Jiangxin Island would not think so.
Seeing that the Ming army is retreating, and there is only one team, how can you let it go?
When the three ships of the Ming army sailed to Jiangxin, the Qing army on Jiangxin Island heard the news and dispatched ships to launch an attack.
Rockets like locusts are flying all over the sky, although the accuracy of the rockets at night is not high, but it is only a matter of time before the three ships of the Ming army are intercepted or even sunk by the crowd.
Coincidentally, Wu Zheng was standing by the river at this time and looking at the direction of Yizhen.
And Xia Wanchun comforted Wu Zheng on the side.
