Chapter 90: Suizhou
This is the real reason why Li Zicheng's army and Dashun's army are so desperate.
The Qing soldiers have already occupied the advantage of the whole field without the help of red-clothed cannons, and the Dashun army is defeated no matter what method it uses, and now Duoduo has been supported by dozens of red-clothed cannons, is there any surprising way for the Dashun army to win?
These were dozens of red-coated cannons, and although it would take a day or two for the Qing army to officially put these red-coated cannons into battle, Li Zicheng and his generals were in despair.
Smelling the faint smell of gunsmoke, Li Zicheng had already made up his mind: "Let the soldiers hurry up their time to rest, no matter how many red-coated cannons there are, we can't give up hope for victory!"
He was ready to smash all his capital to gamble with the Qing army, but he himself knew very well that this was just a very optimistic estimate.
Even a few months ago, he was still singing all the way, everyone thought that he was the Mandate of Heaven Allah, and now not only he and the Great Shun Army have fallen into a desperate situation, but even the entire land of Shenzhou will be completely sunk.
Who has the power to turn the tide and save all the people from fire and water?
Li Zicheng can't see through the fog of history.
Thousands of miles away, under the city of Suizhou, there was a jubilant atmosphere, and Yuan Shu and Hou Fangyu, the two natives of Guide Mansion beside Gao Jie, were introducing the situation of the mountains and rivers of Guide Mansion to everyone, but Gao Jie didn't care at all: "It's just a Xu Dingguo, don't be so nervous!"
This Northern Expedition can be said to be unusually easy, even easier than the march, although Gao Jie's action to Shuhaoge can be described as self-inflicted.
Haoge continued to recruit Shi Kefa and Gao Jie in his letters, and even said, "I know that there is a meaning of surrender, and I am the first to make meritorious contributions." If you can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, choose the master and do things, and decide to bow down, cross the river to meet, and the general's fame is not ordinary", he simply ignored the "joint army to suppress the invasion", but Haoge's bold words were completely just lip service, and he refused to send troops across the river at all.
And this time the Northern Expedition Gao Jie sent 20,000 soldiers, how dare the local chickens and dogs confront Gao Jie's field army head-on, so the road was like a bamboo, making Gao Jie feel that everything was under control, and Hou Fangyu couldn't help but say more when he heard Gao Jie say this: "It's true that you don't need to be so nervous, but Liu Zongzhen's horse team seems to have run too far?" ”
Although this Hou Gongzi has not had any contact with Liu Yongxi until now, he already knows that Li Xiangjun is in Liu Yongxi's camp and is very favored by Liu Yongxi, so Hou Fangyu hates Liu Yongxi.
This is his woman, Liu Yongxi dares to provoke his own woman, and his courage is too great!
But he is just an ordinary staff member in Gao Jie's army, and he can't even clean up a general, not to mention that Liu Yongxi is completely on his own in Gao Jie's army, and even Gao Jie himself can't help Liu Yongxi, not to mention that he is a scholar in Hou Fangyu, so Hou Fangyu can only choose this opportunity to say a word or two about Liu Yongxi.
But now Gao Jie is on the rise, and he didn't take Hou Fangyu's reminder to heart at all, and Mrs. Xing, who was on the side, helped Liu Yongxi explain what was going on with a smile: "General Liu is eager to fight, and now his vanguard horse team should have passed Suizhou, which is a good thing!"
Gao Jie also laughed: "Yes, it's indeed a good thing, I'm already very satisfied that Mr. Liu can send troops, not to mention that he is still the vanguard of the whole army!"
Although the previous few gatherings left Gao Jiejun with a very good impression of Liu Yongxi, this Northern Expedition really made everyone including Gao Jie look at Linhuai Town with admiration.
Linhuai Town is so belligerent that even a veteran like Li Benshen thinks that the new army in Linhuai Town has regarded this Northern Expedition as an exercise at all, and has not considered the possibility of being ambushed by the enemy, and Xing Shengping was dragged into the water by Liu Yongxi.
Of course, for Gao Jiejun, the advance of Linhuai Town is also a good thing, if you really want to encounter the Qing army going south, Linhuai Town must be the first to bear the brunt, and at this time the outpost has come to report the latest progress in Suizhou City: "The chief soldier Xu Dingguo is out of the city, he is willing to surrender to us and invite Xingping Bo to enter the city!" ”
There were bursts of cheers next to Gao Jie, Xu Dingguo's reaction was expected by them, after all, Xu Dingguo only had a few thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals, how could he be able to defeat Gao Jie's 20,000 army, and this did not include Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping's 3,700 partial divisions.
Gao Jie laughed: "I knew that Xu Dingguo, this kid was a wreck, and Adou couldn't help him at all, and he couldn't change it in this life!" ”
He and Xu Dingguo are old acquaintances, and he feels that he already knows Xu Dingguo well, but Mrs. Xing reminded him: "Husband, no matter what, Xu Dingguo has thousands of soldiers and horses, be sure to give him face!" ”
Gao Jie didn't take Xu Dingguo in his eyes at all: "Give him face?" I let him live, of course, if his performance is similar to General Liu Yongxi, I may say a few more words for him! ”
Gao Jie felt that no matter how Xu Dingguo tossed, he couldn't escape from the palm of the Buddha!
And Li Xiangjun is now more and more unable to understand Liu Yongxi's operation.
Liu Yongxi was too active in this Northern Expedition, if Gao Jie's army had just reached the city of Suizhou, then Liu Yongxi had blocked several roads for the defenders of Suicheng to escape.
At first, she thought that Liu Yongxi was so actively involved in the Northern Expedition because of Mrs. Xing, but now the more she looks at it, the more confused she becomes, Liu Yongxi obviously knows that this Northern Expedition will definitely fail, but he is so actively involved, and he is more active than these generals under Gao Jie.
Considering that Liu Yongxi started almost from scratch and laid the foundation of Linhuai Town in a few months, Li Xiangjun felt that this matter might not be as simple as she imagined, so she knew that the march was extremely hard, but she still kept up.
And today I heard that Suizhou had opened the city, Li Xiangjun finally couldn't help it, she jumped down from the carriage and found Liu Yongxi and several battalion officers around her, but found Xing Shengping complaining: "I heard that Xu Dingguo opened a big banquet in Suizhou City, we have no merit and hard work, why didn't anyone get the invitation!" ”
Liu Yongxi immediately laughed: "Xingping Bo only invited me to a banquet with him, but I refused!" ”
Zhao Zhijie asked more: "Why doesn't the little uncle go, I heard that everyone has two big beauties!" ”
This is also a question that Li Xiangjun wants to know, she was about to ask Zhao Zhijie to ask one more question after she finished asking, when she heard a commotion behind her, and then several sharp-eyed scouts shouted: "It's on fire!" ”
"It's a fire in Suizhou City!"
"There is a shout of killing!"
