Chapter 326: Rushing to Xingquan Mansion City

Ma Wei's call made a few people who thought that Li Xuan was just talking about natural beauty at first also reacted quickly, and hurriedly said something like His Majesty Shengming.

However, Wang Wenhua was depressed, because the sycophants he prepared were already unspeakable, and he had to pay attention to the timing of the sycophants, which was preempted by Ma Wei, and he naturally fell behind if he said something similar.

However, there is still a long way to go, he Wang Wenhua wants to pat himself on the back, who can stop it?

Sure enough, when they walked down the mountain, they happened to meet a group of Tang Army soldiers escorting a large group of bound prisoners forward, at this time Wang Wenhua did not hesitate to speak: "My Wang Shi crossed the river and captured many people in the first battle, thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, although this puppet Ming thief army has 10,000 people, but they dare not resist Your Majesty Longwei!" ”

He said this in an exclamatory tone, and his expression was like that of a literati exclamating at a beautiful landscape.

I don't see the smell of fireworks in the world!

When Li Xuan heard this, he looked at Wang Wenhua, and secretly said in his heart, this Wang Wenhua's speech is getting better and better, and such a piercing compliment can be said so well!

It's nice to listen to.

And he also felt that Wang Wenhua's words spoke to his heart, because Li Xuan had always believed that the Tang Dynasty could have today, and the Tang New Army was able to defeat the Ming Army many times, completely on his own.

Without the new army of the Tang Dynasty and the musket he made, the Datang Dynasty, a ravine dynasty, would have been destroyed a long time ago, how could it have developed to this day.

That's right, Li Xuan took all the credit to himself!

As for Liu Bagou, Fang Dongquan, Wang Danxu, and other bandit leaders, what are the credits? They've got a to them, they're here to be funny.

His thoughts at this moment are: Without me Li Xuan, there would be no Tang Dynasty, and without the Tang Dynasty, there would be no New China......

If someone saw Li Xuan's expression at this moment and understood his inner thoughts, they would probably give him an arrogant comment.

Someone will advise: Your Majesty must not be arrogant!

Looking at Li Xuan smiling, Wang Wenhua's face remained the same, but he was secretly happy in his heart, this horse was a good shot, and his majesty was overjoyed!

It's just that he inadvertently looked back at Liu Bagou, Ma Wei and the others, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, which was a smile full of confidence.

Hmph, in a huge Tang Dynasty, when it comes to sycophants, if he Wang Wenhua prides himself on being second, who dares to say first?

Who would dare?

Ma Wei, it's just a show talent who reads stupid brains, otherwise how could the family be ruined before, even if Fang just said something beautiful, but that is just to say that Datang has won the hegemony, it didn't talk about His Majesty's heart at all, and didn't grasp the core point of patting the horse's ass!

Liu Bagou, Qian Mengjiu and others are just clowns who jump off the beam, although they often compliment Your Majesty, but in Wang Wenhua's opinion, they don't have the talent for the great skill of patting sycophants at all, and they don't care what they say.

And Yang Xiucai, Old Man Xie and others are not to mention, he Wang Wenhua doesn't even bother to look at them.

At this moment, Wang Wenhua suddenly couldn't help but sigh lightly!

The rest of the people who watched it were inexplicable, and those who didn't know thought that he was still lamenting the victory or defeat of this battle, but who could know that he was sighing at this moment because he was looking for his opponent.

Count the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but there is no enemy!

He's lonely!

Li Xuan was naturally too lazy to pay attention to the inner thoughts of the civil and military ministers behind him, now he was indeed very complacent, how difficult it was to be able to lead a ravine dynasty to this day, what a great feat!

Since ancient times, countless people who have played rebellion in the ravines and ravines have not been able to do what they do!

Perhaps, it won't take long for him to lead his army to take several provinces, and then wave his troops east into the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River and drink the Qinhuai River!

When the time comes, do you want to hold an Oiran competition to select Qin Huai Bayan of this era?

After selecting them, they all line up and go up one by one!

Well, don't give money!

However, before sweeping the southwestern provinces and drinking the Qinhuai River, he had to take the city of Xingquanfu first, and I don't know if Hao Bonian would dare to arrive at Xingquanfu before the Ming army and stop the remnants of Song Zhiwen's army.

Song Zhiwen fled very simply, and the Tang army, which crossed the river head-on, did not dare to send a large number of troops to land for combat in order to control casualties at first.

So much so that when Song Zhiwen led the troops to retreat, the Tang army, which crossed the river head-on, could not catch up with them in time and entangled them, so that Song Zhiwen fled with two or three thousand people.

As for the remaining more than 1,000 people, they naturally became outcasts, either killed or wounded or captured by the Tang army.

After a short rest at the Lanjiang crossing, Li Xuan once again led the follow-up troops to catch up with the front-line troops and went to Xingquanfu City.

Before him, the 2nd Mixed Battalion and the 3rd Infantry Battalion had already chased after him, commanded by Wang Danxu.

The troops personally led by Li Xuan in the follow-up were only the Fourth Infantry Battalion, the garrison battalion, the artillery team, the baggage battalion, and a large number of young men who transported the baggage.

At noon, Li Xuan, who was leading the army on the way, once again got a report from the reconnaissance cavalry, saying that he had contacted Hao Bonian's troops, and now Hao Bonian's troops were rushing to Xingquanfu City, and from the perspective of the itinerary, it was much faster than the Ming army.

Li Xuan looked at the map, and then calculated the speed and distance of Hao Bonian's march, and finally drew a big cross outside the city of Xingquanfu, if nothing else, Hao Bonian will arrive outside the city of Xingquanfu in the evening today, and meet the retreating Ming army.

As long as Hao Bonian can block the retreating Ming army for half an hour, then the third infantry battalion and the second mixed battalion led by Wang Danxu will be able to catch up, and finally form an encirclement posture of flanking these Ming troops from front to back.

Song Zhiwen, even if it is only a few miles away from Xingquan Mansion City, he will not be able to enter Xingquan Mansion City.

After annihilating the remnants led by Song Zhiwen, unless there was a miracle in Xingquanfu City, it would be impossible to stop the Tang army's attack.

Because according to the reports of the spies of the Tang army ambushed inside and outside the city of Xingquan Mansion, the Ming troops in Xingquan Mansion have basically been taken to the Lanjiang Ferry by Song Zhiwen, and there are only hundreds of regular Ming troops left in the city, and there are more than 1,000 young people.

Even if the Ming army defending the city adds up the catch or something, it will also mobilize the young people in the city to defend the city.

But it is also unlikely that they will be able to withstand the attack of thousands of troops of the Don Army!

The Tang army defeated even tens of thousands of Ming troops at the Lanjiang ferry, and will they be afraid of hundreds of Ming troops plus a group of young people?

Impossible!

When Li Xuan led the army to catch up with the front-line troops, Hao Bonian and the others also rushed towards Xingquan Mansion City non-stop.

In order to hurry, they only rested for half an hour at noon, and after hastily eating dry food, they set off for the whole army again.

Although the soldiers were very tired along the way, but with the encouragement of the officers at all levels, and the soldiers also knew that the Ming army had been defeated, and they went to Xingquanfu City this time to intercept the enemy's rout, not to say that they wanted to gnaw on the fortified city of Xingquanfucheng, and after winning many battles with the Ming army, they were also full of confidence in the victory of this battle.

The morale of the army has not fallen, although the physical energy of the soldiers has been greatly consumed, but they gritted their teeth and continued to hurry, and there was no large-scale lagging behind.

However, fortunately, the troops led by Hao Bonian were the main forces of the 1st Infantry Battalion, the 1st Mixed Battalion and the 2nd Infantry Battalion, and most of the soldiers of these units had been trained for more than several months.

In the past few months of training, they have added a lot of influence, and their physical fitness is much better than that of the recruits, and although they are tired from the long journey, it is not to say that they cannot walk.

At this time, the high-intensity physical training that the Datang New Army has been performing can be regarded as playing its due role.

In order to strengthen the physical fitness of the soldiers, the Datang New Army paid a huge price, most of the newly recruited recruits were emaciated, and the first thing these recruits did after joining the army was to eat, a lot of food.

The food of the Datang New Army has always been of a high standard, although there is not much meat to eat due to the limited conditions, but the white rice is full, and you can eat as much as you can.

A high standard of food means adequate nutrition, and combined with high-intensity physical training, a few months is enough time to turn these soldiers into strong young men.

On the other hand, the Ming army is different, the adults on the side of the Ming army are reluctant to give those soldiers to eat white rice every day, most of the time it is coarse grain, only when the war will raise the standard of food, so that the soldiers can eat white rice and meat.

However, this kind of temporary food is better, and at most it can boost the morale of the soldiers, but it cannot fundamentally change the physical fitness of the soldiers.

At this critical moment, the physical fitness of the soldiers will become a huge flaw!

When Song Zhiwen led the army to retreat today, the retreating Ming soldiers were still running fast at first, but when it was noon, the speed inevitably slowed down.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still the pursuers of the Tang Army behind them, these Ming soldiers would have said that they would not continue to walk.

However, with the pursuers behind, they had to continue to hold on to the march, but even if they held on, they couldn't hold on.

By the time it was early afternoon, there were already many soldiers who couldn't walk at all.

There was no way, Song Zhiwen could only slow down the retreat of the troops!

However, looking at the slower and slower marching speed, Song Zhiwen's brows were getting tighter and tighter, but he knew that there was a main force of the pseudo-Tang thief army in the north that was also marching in Xingquan Mansion City.

Their purpose was self-evident, obviously to dare to arrive at Xingquan Mansion City before themselves, so as to cut off the possibility of their own return to Xingquan Mansion City.

However, there is no way to be in a hurry, and if the troops can't walk, they can't walk!

Looking at a group of guards and young men who were slowing down in the rear, Song Zhiwen was ruthless, and immediately called a general of the Ming army and asked him to command the follow-up troops to continue on the road.

As for himself, he led five hundred recruited soldiers and guards to continue to rush to Xingquan Mansion at a high speed.
