Chapter Eighty-Three: Drifting Away to Wen Anzhi

Miao Jin died after all.

Died under the artillery fire of the Xia army.

However, this Shaanxi man played a majestic style of breaking into the camp.

Miao Jin was provoked by Gao's merits, and he could be said to be the first soldier, doing his best, braving the fierce artillery fire, breaking through the first fence, attacking the summer camp, and falling into hand-to-hand combat with the Nanyang camp.

This is a characteristic of this era, although firearms occupy an increasingly important position. But really a heart. Firearms can't do it yet, and they can't rush people up at all.

However, the Nanyang battalion is also a veteran, and what kind of war has not been experienced. In the face of Miao Jin's onslaught, the soldiers of the Nanyang battalion were also very resolute. The so-called can't last long, and the loyalty camp is not a camp after all. A year of defeat, retreat. It's already almost consumed by the spirit.

Even if the top soldiers attacked fiercely, it was just a breath of air, and when this breath was discharged, it was also the time for them to retreat.

It's just that Miao Jin fulfilled his promise.

And there was no retreat.

Cao Zongyu came to the front of the battle formation surrounded by dozens of personal soldiers.

Look at the outermost fence, a gap was forced by the axe, and then a wooden wall was torn down, but the gap was only a few feet wide, densely covered with corpses. Layered on top of each other, it's like a slaughterhouse.

There are loyal battalion soldiers and Xia soldiers.

Cao Zongyu looked at the past one by one, and many soldiers were firmly hugged together, and they seemed to be inseparable.

Although it was only a few feet wide, at least more than a thousand people fell, plus the corpses of the loyal battalion soldiers who were hit by fire along the way. Cao Zongyu estimated that the loyal battalion suffered heavy casualties in this attack. But even so, Cao Zongyu was amazed by the strength of the loyalty battalion.

"A high merit is not light." Cao Zongyu said secretly in his heart.

He estimated that if Gao Yigong attacked Zhang Xianbi or Huang Chaoxuan's military formation, or a flat duel, rather than an offensive and defensive battle, Cao Zongyu was not absolutely sure what the outcome would be.

An army is not the same as an army.

Even within the same army, the strength of the army under the command of different generals is different.

The high school department is the line of the lineage of the camp, and it is the elite of the thousands of miles to fight for the rest of the battle, and the party Shousu, and others are all defecting to the high school department, and the high school department is the backbone of his mother, don't look at the high school department, there are not many people. It doesn't seem like there's been a hard fight all along.

That was Gao Yigong's internal military heart wavering, and Gao Yigong was also hesitant. And not a high merit can not be played.

If Gao Yigong couldn't fight, it would be impossible to kill all the way from Yan'an to here.

Immediately, Cao Zongyu saw Miao Jin again.

Miao Jin's face was no longer clear, it seemed that he had been hit with a scattered bullet, his face was covered with blood, countless potholes, and there was almost no intact place on the entire front, and bones were visible in many places. Five visceral insights.

If it weren't for his armor and weapons showing his identity, Cao Zongyu wouldn't know who he was? Cao Zongyu held Miao Jin's long knife, looked at the word "Miao Jin" engraved on the hilt, and vaguely remembered Miao Jin's appearance in his heart, Cao Chuang has been one for many years, and each other's important generals, even if they don't know each other, they have heard of it, or they have seen one or two sides from afar.

The comrades-in-arms who used to depend on each other for life and death have become like this, which makes Cao Zongyu sigh in his heart.

"Newspaper. General," a scout knelt down and said: "The news from the general's side, the general has broken the Ming army, the Ming army has collapsed, Longwu fled into the city of Changsha, the Ming army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and there is no longer the strength to fight." ”

"Okay." Cao Zongyu said: "Someone." ”

"Yes." The two pro-soldiers said.

Cao Zongyu said: "Send this person's body back, and tell Gao Yigong by the way." Longwu has been defeated, let him do it himself. ”

"Yes."

A stretcher carried Miao Jin's corpse, and it was sent to Gao Yigong in front of him.

When Gao Yigong saw Miao Jin's death, he only felt a slight pain in his heart. For Cao Zongyu, Miao Jin is just a former comrade-in-arms in the depths of his memory, but in the eyes of Gao Yigong, he is an old brother who follows him.

When he saw Miao Jin die so miserably, he suddenly burst out in his heart and wanted to avenge Miao Jin, but this emotion came quickly, but it was also fast.

Soon, Gao Yigong's heart was filled with a deep sense of loneliness.

"Revenge, who to take revenge?" Gao Yigong meditated in his heart: "I'm afraid it's me who forced him to death." ”

For a while, many of Gao Yigong's thoughts were indifferent.

"General Gao, General Cao asked me to tell you that the victory or defeat under Changsha City has been decided, Longwu fled back to Changsha City, the Ming army collapsed, where to go, and I hope General Gao will think about it very much." The envoy of the Xia army spoke.

"I see." Gao Yigong said.

Gao Yigong turned his eyes and looked at the people below, but saw hesitant eyes, he sighed in his heart, and said secretly: "Let's go, what do I have to say now?" Your Majesty, it's not that I'm sorry for you, but the situation is like this, what can I do? ”

Gao Yigong made up his mind and said, "Send someone to report and bring back the bodies of the brothers." ”

Gao Yigong's words are of course just an exchange of corpses. Since ancient times, the dead have been the greatest, so even if they are enemies, they will not forbid them to collect their bodies. But with the current situation of the Loyal Battalion, as long as there is a gap in contact with the Xia Army, what will happen to the following situation, Gao Yigong is not unforeseen in his heart.

Also in Wen An's eyes, he can see what is clear.

Immediately ask for a high achievement.

Gao Yigong saw Wen Anzhi, and without waiting for Wen Anzhi to speak, he said himself: "Mr. Wen, you don't have to say it, the matter is now, the form is pressing, what you say is useless, even if I think about myself, I have to think more about my brothers." ”

"I broke into the camp, not because I was afraid of death, but it was clear that I was wrong before."

"What I promised you, I will still do it, Your Majesty is in one day, I am a minister of Your Majesty one day, but in the face of Xiangjiang, I can't do anything, if Mr. Wen and Mr. Block, want to go, just leave the baggage, you can return to Changde by yourself."

"I'm not going to make it difficult."

"If you don't want to go, when the dust settles in Changsha, you can also surrender to the Xia Dynasty with me, Zhang Xuan, I also know, is not a jealous person, with the ability of the two gentlemen, it will be reused."

Wen Anzhi wanted to say something, but was signaled by Gao Yigong, and his soldiers immediately came to see off the guests.

Wen Anzhi saw that Gao Yigong didn't give him a chance to speak at all, as if he was afraid of Wen Anzhi's tongue.

After Wen Anzhi came out, he didn't know what to say for a while.

He didn't want to defect to Changsha, because he was not very optimistic about the future of the Ming Dynasty. It's just that he never thought that by mistake, he would become one of the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and was trusted by Emperor Longwu, just when he wanted to show his strength, he encountered such a thing.

Suddenly, I felt like a disillusionment in my life.

At this moment, he can't go back if he wants to go home.

It's very simple, in the original battle of Yiling, he used the relationship of the Wen family to earn Yiling City, even if he thought with his toes, the Xia Dynasty would definitely take revenge on the Wen family. If he goes back, if the Ming Dynasty is still alive, he can still be valued, but now that the Ming Dynasty has become like this, after he goes back, he can only cause trouble to people.

If the villagers don't remember the old feelings, he doesn't want to be looked down upon, and if the villagers remember the old feelings and hide his whereabouts, I'm afraid that he will cause trouble for others.

"Let's go." Wen An secretly said in his heart: "It's better to go back, it's better to go back." ”

He looked to the south with his hands down, in this place he could only see the camp of the Xia army, and he could not see further away, but he knew that not far from the south, there was a Yuelu Mountain. There is the famous Yuelu Academy on Yuelu Mountain, which has been passed down from the Northern Song Dynasty to the present day.

Wen Anzhi said secretly: "Maybe this Yuelu Mountain is the destination of the back half of my body." ”

Wen Anzhi saw that he couldn't do anything, so he didn't say anything more, and immediately went to see Gu Yinxi, and after telling him the situation, he took two servants and floated away. went up to Yuelu Mountain, assumed the name of Mr. An, and became a gentleman of Yuelu Academy.

The eldest husband then took fame and did not continue to do learning, which is probably what the ancients thought in their hearts, but the situation in the world has not reached the day when you can do learning with peace of mind.
