Chapter 181: Battle of the Blue Hoof Pavilion IV

To be honest, although Zheng Chenggong feels that this situation is a bit of a crisis, he can still bear it.

First of all, although he didn't know how many Qing troops there were, he understood that most of his soldiers were elite soldiers of Zhang Xuan's lineage, and they were by no means ordinary soldiers. When 30,000 people gather together, it is not something that the Qing army can easily shake until the ammunition and food are exhausted.

As long as the army is there, then there is only one day's food, and Zheng Chenggong feels that he can hold out until tomorrow night, which is the least.

As for persevering, how many casualties will be required, but it is not within Zheng Chenggong's mind.

But what he was worried about was Liang Huafeng.

In this pursuit, Zheng Chenggong mobilized a small army of 100,000, 3,000 of Ma Sanbao's troops, more than 10,000 of Tian Xiong's troops, more than 10,000 of the Korean army, 30,000 of Zheng Chenggong's Chinese army, and 30,000 of Liang Huafeng's rear army and Japanese army. There are more than 80,000 in total, which is already all the troops that Zheng Chenggong can mobilize.

After all, Zheng Chenggong occupies half of North Korea, how can he not garrison troops.

Now that Zheng Chenggong is besieged, Liang Huafeng is a subordinate, how can there be any reason not to rescue.

But just as the Qing army hoped that Zheng Chenggong would retreat, he also hoped that Liang Huafeng would come to the rescue. After all, as long as they move, there will be more opportunities for the Qing army. And Zheng Chenggong was also worried that Liang Huafeng was afraid of punishment, so he didn't dare to defend it. In particular, there were also Japanese in Liang Huafeng's army.

The reason why Zheng Chenggong put the Japanese army under Liang Huafeng was that he was worried about the military discipline of the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army was brave, it was not afraid of death. But he couldn't see any money and goods, and he seemed to be poor. Once you see the money woman, you can't walk, and there are too many belongings left along the way. In addition, the military formation of the Japanese army and the Xia army could not be compared at all.

If it doesn't move, it can still hold on, but if Liang Huafeng comes to help, the Japanese army will be flawed.

Once Liang Huafeng came to help and broke through the Qing army halfway, Zheng Chenggong's side would be in danger.

Although Zheng Chenggong did not know how many cavalry the Qing army had, the defeat of Qingzhou greatly damaged the vitality of Azig's troops. The strength of Azig's troops will never be able to besiege Zheng Chenggong's army, and the two troops of Liang Huafeng's rear army are not far apart, like horns. Even if the Qing army attacked, it also felt that the opposite side was like a sharp edge, once Chen Yonghua collected the soldiers of Hancheng, Jiangnan, and Ganghwa Island, and came to help with baggage, the war would be protracted, and the Qing army would definitely not be able to eat it.

But if the Qing army breaks through Liang Huafeng first, and then encircles Zheng Chenggong, he will have enough confidence to surround it.

Even if the two sides are reduced to cannibalism, Azig has the determination to fight. Even if at that time, Zheng Chenggong has been desperately stalemate for more than ten days, I am afraid there is no hope.

The deafening shouting of killing, under the galloping of thousands of horses of the Qing army, a large number of people could only rush over, and for a while, before the Xia army's formation, the fire guns roared, the shells whistled, and the nitrate

Smoke fills the air. A large number of Koreans were driven to death by the Qing army, so that the corpses accumulated and the blood flowed like rivers.

And the Qing army didn't just drive away Korean soldiers.

There are often Qing soldiers hiding in the crowd, and when they get closer, they suddenly rush out. Breaking the formation of hand-to-hand combat, fortunately there are spearmen to resist, and many times the firecrackers have drawn their waists and swords to fight. Only then did they resist the offensive of the Qing army.

Zheng Chenggong just swept his eyes around, and it fell on Ma Sanbao, the situation on the battlefield, he didn't need to look at it, he knew that no matter how difficult it was, he could still support it for a while. Zheng Chenggong said: "Ma Sanbao. ”

Ma Sanbao said loudly: "The last will be." ”

Zheng Chenggong said: "Since you want to make meritorious contributions, I will give you a chance, you go to Liang Huafeng now to give an order, let him stay on the spot and wait for reinforcements." Send someone over to me tonight to exchange news with me. ”

Ma Sanbao said: "The last general will obey the order. ”

Zheng Chenggong threw a token from his waist, threw it to Ma Sanbao, and said, "Take this as a certificate and go quickly." ”

Ma Sanbao immediately got up and prepared to set off.

Zheng Chenggong looked at Ma Sanbao's figure and sighed lightly, he knew that on the road to find Liang Huafeng, there must be ambushes. But I don't know if Ma Sanbao can come back alive.

Ma Sanbao took his own soldiers, and there were only more than 100 people left, just a little rest, eat some dry food, drink a little water, and rushed out again without hesitation, heading to the southeast.

Sure enough, as Zheng Chenggong expected, Zheng Chenggong's department and Liang Huafeng's department were not more than a few miles apart, if it weren't for some ups and downs in the middle, the two sides could probably look at each other from afar. It seems to be a smooth road, but there are heavy ambushes of the Qing army, and more than 1,000 Qing troops are divided into several teams to intercept and kill messengers on both sides.

Several batches of manpower have already been closed.

Seeing Ma Sanbao appear at this moment, he naturally came out to intercept and kill. For a while, Ma Sanbao only felt that life and death were out of his own hands.

There is no other reason, that is, Ma Sanbao was able to kill smoothly before, but it was because the attention of the Qing army at that time was not on Ma Sanbao, and at this moment he was ordered to intercept and kill, the Qing army's military law is strict, once Ma Sanbao is released, I am afraid that the life of the Qing army's commander may not be able to be saved.

In addition, the soldiers sent to intercept and kill were the elite of the Qing army, and there were many white-armored soldiers among them, which were not inferior to Ma Sanbao's personal soldiers, and even better than a lot.

So this short journey of a few miles is a cruel test for Ma Sanbao.

For Liang Huafeng, this test has begun.

When there were Qing cavalry nearby, Liang Huafeng had already ordered to be stationed on the spot. Someone was sent to contact Zheng Chenggong, but no matter how many were sent, it was as if it had sunk into the sea, and there was no news at all. For a while, the generals around Liang Huafeng were a little flustered.

It doesn't matter if it's that or that

The military law of the generation and the loss of the main general are all major crimes. Even if it is serious, it is not only to sin yourself, but also to your family. What is better than the death in battle.

Even if you have the life to go back, sometimes you can't escape death.

These generals may not be unaware, and now the enemy's situation is unknown, the best way is to stand still, but weigh the pros and cons, for the sake of themselves and their families, they would rather suffer a defeated battle, the sin is just the unfavorable rescue, and the unmoved soldiers are to sit back and watch the success or failure, this sin is greater than defeat.

The former is a matter of competence and the latter is a matter of attitude.

Many times, success or failure is important, but the mind behind the matter, is more important to the people above, the so-called original heart condemnation, if it is a good intention to do something wrong, there is still the possibility of forgiveness, but with bad intentions, but it is not necessarily a blessing.

"General, King Yue is in danger, and it is urgent. Please also ask the general to send troops quickly. A general said.

Liang Huafeng knew at a glance that this person was Zheng Chenggong's person, he was Zheng Chenggong installed in the army, as the commander of the army, he had the right to cut first and then play, and it was very easy to place people in the army.

After all, once Zheng Chenggong has a case, it will be a catastrophe for the Zheng family, and without Zheng Chenggong, it is impossible for the Zheng family to maintain a relatively independent position in the Xia Dynasty. This affects the interests of many people.

"General." Someone drove it, and immediately most of the people came out and said: "If King Yue has a case, the fate of our people." ”

Liang Huafeng sighed lightly, of course he knew that something really happened to Zheng Chenggong, the one in Nanjing would never let him go, not only military discipline, just to give the Zheng family an explanation, it would take his life, some things, knowing that there was little hope, but he had to gamble.

Liang Huafeng was about to agree, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, and looked over, but saw countless Qing cavalry surrounded by a group, and it seemed that someone was rushing towards them. ”

Immediately, the Xia army fired from a distance, and most of the artillery fire failed, after all, the Xia army came over this time, lightly armed, and did not bring many cannons. However, in this way, the Qing cavalry was also surprised, and several horsemen were suddenly killed from the siege.

The head is worn with red tassels, and the armor is mostly decorated with red. When Liang Huafeng saw it, he knew that it was his own person.

Because Xia Jun is still red.

Sure enough, after a while, Ma Sanbao rushed to the front of the formation, turned over and dismounted, and at this moment there were only three or five riders around him. The rest of the soldiers were lost, Ma Sanbao held the token high in one hand, and said loudly: "By the order of King Yue, Liang Huafeng will not move." ”

When Liang Huafeng saw that the order was true, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "The last general will listen to the order." ”
