Chapter 579 can't be taken care of

Wang Jijun also discovered Cui One-eye's dilemma.

He found that the adjutant general was already faltering, looking like he was about to collapse, and he was still running ahead of him, and he fell behind him in a few steps, so as soon as he crossed the bridge, he turned back and shouted: "My lord, if you want to live, take off everything you can!" ”

Cui Duyan suddenly woke up.

He first pulled off the iron helmet on his head, then drew his saber, and as he ran, he cut the tether on his side so that he could take off his armor.

However, he never had another chance.

The next wave of cannonballs was extremely accurate, and two cannonballs smashed on the bridge deck in unison, and then one flew directly into the crowd.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Suddenly, blood and flesh flew on the long wooden bridge, and wood chips flew wantonly along with the stumps and severed arms, and the bridge deck was stained red with blood in a blink of an eye.

"Whoa!"

The bridge collapsed in the shaking, and some of the soldiers who were still crowded on the bridge deck were caught off guard and fell into the water with the violent shaking......

When the cannonball whistled and fell, Wang Jijun pounced, hugged his head tightly, and rolled into the weeds on the side of the road as soon as he turned over.

Cui Duyan behind him was not so lucky.

At this moment, he had just broken free half of the cotton armor, and in a hurry, he was suddenly pushed by a violent wave of air, and one of them shook into the paddy field on the side of the road.

He reflexively rolled over, trying to struggle to get up, but was horrified to find that he could no longer get up.

He struggled to rest his head on the ridge and gasped for air.

He had never gasped so much in his life, his chest involuntarily rose and fell violently, and he was already exhausted all the way down, his head was buzzing, and his mouth was filled with a strong smell of blood.

He began to suffocate, and even struggled more and more weakly, and then, slowly, hallucinations, and his life was constantly replaying in his mind......

When he was six years old, his father began to teach him martial arts; At the age of sixteen, he went to school for the first time to "point to school"; Marriage, children were born successively; Follow the horse into the treasure to suppress the bandits; Clearing; After that, all the way south......

His consciousness began to fade away, and consciousness became more and more blurred.

In a trance, it seemed that someone was desperately pulling him, but this feeling slowly disappeared, and then, as soon as his eyes went black, he didn't know anything......

After the explosion, Wang Jijun found that he was not injured, he quickly got up and looked around, but saw Vice General Cui lying motionless on the side of the road like a dead man, half of his body still soaked in the paddy field.

Without thinking about it, he threw the fire gun and ran over to save him, but, although he tried his best to finally drag him out of the paddy field, it seemed that he was lifeless, and he wanted to carry him up, but he found that he was also sore, and had no strength at all.

He wanted to call a few people to help—dead or alive, he had to bring him back to Yizhen.

However, the soldiers around him turned a deaf ear one by one and ignored them completely, Wang Jijun was dressed like a big-headed soldier at this time, where did anyone listen to his orders.

His heart was sad, and when he looked closely, he was surrounded by faces he didn't recognize.

He looked around and found that most of the people who had escaped from the river were Adjutant General Cui's, and that his new sergeant was no more than twenty or thirty men, and he was paralyzed on the side of the road to breathe.

After a while, a few of the personal soldiers of Vice General Cui, who had escaped death, came over, and they braved the artillery fire to search by the river and finally found the master.

Only then did Wang Jijun remember what General Meng had said to him: "You still have to have a few personal soldiers to be reliable when you go into battle." ”

He suddenly realized that there was no personal soldier by his side - he couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart, there were a few of them, but after a chaotic battle, he didn't know life and death for a long time.

Seeing that there was not one out of ten new troops that he brought out, he felt infinite sadness, who was this battle for? Why are so many people dying......

Although the wooden bridge was broken, most of the surviving remnants of the soldiers still escaped, and many of them finally braved the artillery fire to swim desperately across the river.

Suddenly, there was a burst of gunshots, not a gun "poofing" into the dry soil.

Seeing that the thief was really chasing after him, the soldiers who were originally paralyzed immediately jumped up and quickly fled forward with another smoke.

……

It was the reconnaissance company of the cavalry regiment that fired the artillery.

Hurry up, just when the east was about to turn white, the "Qinzhou" finally crossed Shao Bo Lake and came to a place called Wayao Village.

Here, there are still more than ten miles away from the north gate of Yangzhou, but Zhang Chenfeng can't wait, because the violent gunshots from the direction of Yangzhou can be heard clearly.

Such a fierce gunfire indicates that the guard company is engaged in a fierce battle with Ma Jinbao.

Zhang Chenfeng's heart tightened, he couldn't figure it out and didn't have time to think about what happened, his first reaction was to abandon the ship and go ashore and rush to help!

Rescue is like fighting fire!

Although all the horses were left behind, even if they advanced on foot, the footsteps of the infantry were still much faster than the speed of the ships.

Luckily, it's a kiln – the chimneys of several brick kilns on the shore are faintly recognizable, so there are a few small wharves on the shore.

Soon, the "Qinzhou" slowed down and landed, and the whole army landed.

The sailors moved quickly, and as soon as the ship came to a stop, they quickly put a few long gangplanks on the side of the ship, although the height difference between the side of the ship and the dock was a bit large, and the gangplanks were very inclined, but the well-trained warriors were still able to disembark quickly.

Once ashore, they immediately discovered that there were many dirt roads to the south, but none of them were easy to walk, and in this kind of river network, even the official roads were very narrow, and they often had to take a detour to find a bridge to cross the river.

In this regard, Zhang Chenfeng had already prepared, and he ordered the whole army to advance separately with the company as a unit, and fight separately.

Among them, the reconnaissance company had the most special task, they did not go straight to the north gate with the large army, but went to the west of the city to carry out the outflanking mission.

So, as soon as they came ashore, they first went all the way to the west, intending to go to the west gate after bypassing Xiaomao Mountain.

However, in the dark night before dawn, they were almost lost in this place full of river ponds.

They were winding along the dirt road, and somehow they noticed that there was suddenly no way out of the way ahead of them—it turned out that there was a pond in front of them.

The pond is quite large, and in the distance, next to the end of the pond, there is a small village.

At this time, the company commander also discovered a strange situation - the stragglers encountered in this vicinity gradually increased.

Originally, the reconnaissance company was in a hurry, and the soldiers did not have time to pay attention to these routs.

The disorganized rout was no threat to them, and at the sight of the troops, they either immediately turned and fled, and fled into the night again, or fell to their knees without resistance and surrendered.

Seeing that there were more and more defeated soldiers, the company commander felt the need to ask for clarification.

He immediately ordered a prisoner to be found, and after a few questions, he got a general idea of the situation—all of whom had just escaped from the North Gate.
