Chapter 716: Heaven Falls Apart (9)
These generals of the Left Army are all old fritters who have been in the army for many years. I know very well the conventions in the army, where the army marches and retreats, those urgent and valuable materials are probably with the Chinese army, but like what kind of grain, grass, gunpowder, equipment, these bulky and inconvenient to move, can only walk slowly in the rear army.
At this time, if we take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Nanyue Army has already boarded the ship and go east, we will leave some soldiers and horses guarding the escort and rush over to grab a handful, not only can we make up for our combat losses, but we can also say loudly in front of the world that the Nanyue Army, which has never been defeated since its formation, was defeated by our left army!
With such a tyrant army as the Southern Yue Army, the cumbersome materials they left in the rear army should not be bad! Robbing the grain and supplies of the Nanyue Army is better than robbing several states and counties!
"Don't be hasty! Let's find out! Be sure to get close to see the movements of the Southern Army and find out their details! Zuo Mengeng forced himself to suppress his hot heart, tried to calm himself down, and ordered the scouts in the army to go and reconnoiter the movements of the Nanyue army.
The waiting time is always very slow. Everyone was bored in the lobby for a long time, and finally a scout reported the latest military information of the Nanyue Army.
"Enlightened handsome! In Jiujiang City, Liang Guogong's handsome flag was lowered. His old man's ship had already raised two-thirds of its sails, and the gunboats guarding around him and the sand boats transporting soldiers and horses had all raised their sails! Looks like it's about to leave the port! ”
"In Jiujiang City, who is and where right now?!" Zuo Menggeng's heart was about to jump out with excitement. He knew that the flag of the commander in the army must not be moved or raised at will. At the beginning, Li Huamei's achievements in Tashan fell short, and it was because her flag recognition was hit by a cannonball and the flagpole was broken, which led to the chaos of the Liaodong Army and finally the end of the whole army retreating. Therefore, Shuai Qi will never move and lift easily! Now that the Li Zishuai flag in Jiujiang City has been lowered, it shows that the retreat of the Nanyue Army is a sure fact!
Now, since Li Shouhan has left, then who is in charge of Jiujiang City, leaving the general behind the palace to guard, is the top priority that Zuo Mengeng cares about.
After listening to the latest situation of the scout's report, Zuo Mengeng and Jin Shengheng all laughed wildly?
At the head of Jiujiang City, the raised banner, "Governor Jiang Chu Yingwan and other places to suppress the affairs of the Kou", this position and official title was Yuan Jixian, who was detained in the army by Zuo Liangyu's army. Unexpectedly, the prisoners sent by the Left Army to the Nanyue Army to act as a negotiation bridge became the master of Jiujiang City in the blink of an eye. How can this not make Zuo Menggeng's hearts ecstatic? You must know that Zhang Shixun, the general of Yuan Jixian's subordinates, was above the lobby at this time. In the process of the left army's eastward movement, he also made great contributions. He colluded privately with the generals of the left department, set fire to the whole city at night, and suddenly became in chaos, and the generals of the Yuan department could not survive, so they broke the door and went out to camp with the left army; Zuo Liangyu's troops took advantage of the situation to enter the city to kill, kidnap and plunder.
Yuan Jixian's soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Zuo Mengeng, and he himself is also a prisoner of the left army. It's good not to open the city to greet you. At most, it is a person who looks at the emperor from afar, burns incense and bows, and then hangs the beam, throws water, and takes medicine to commit suicide.
Since Yuan Jixian is the master of Jiujiang City, and the man-eating tigers have retreated along the waterway, the arrogance of the hyenas and jackals has become arrogant.
"Battalions listen to orders!"
For the first time, Zuo Mengeng felt the majesty and power of being the commander of the First Army.
"The markers are here!"
"Check the soldiers and horses, select the elite and select the forward. Feast on war meals, tie up clothes and armor, and organize weapons. At dusk, the whole army took the inner battalion of 5,000 pro-troops as the lead and took Jiujiang City! ”
"Send someone to cross the river quickly, tell Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, and tell them that Lao Tzu is going to Jiujiang City to drink wine and eat meat, if you want to come, hurry up and prepare large and small boats to cross the river!"
At dusk, the pro-army in the left camp, led by 5,000 cavalry, proudly left the camp.
At the end of the line of sight is the city wall of Jiujiang City. Behind the big river, the flotilla sent by Huang Degong's subordinates, Tian Xiong and Ma Degong, who rushed from Jiangbei, could already be seen faintly on the river.
"Sons! Some of the people in Jiujiang City are fat and fine grains, some are good armor knives and guns, and some are gold and silver! Those who are not afraid of fat meat, who are not afraid of heavy silver dollars, go up to Ben Shuai! ”
Zuo Mengeng roared viciously, and the pro-soldiers of the inner camp whose eyes had been stimulated red by wealth and murder and adultery screamed strangely, and rode their horses towards Jiujiang City.
It was already possible to distinguish the outline of the battlements of the city wall in the twilight, when suddenly a cannon rang out, as if a thousand thunderbolts had exploded from the ground, and the originally dreary city was suddenly lit up.
"General Zuo, why did you arrive at this time? Tired of waiting for a long time! Shi Lang waited here for a long time! ”
At the head of the city, the original Yuan Zishuai flag was torn down, and what was raised was the banner of Shi Lang, the commander of the naval division of the Nanyue Army!
