Chapter 407: Hong Chengchou's guilt
After Mao Wenlong knew that something had happened in Xi'an, he no longer doubted Li Zicheng at all, after all, in his opinion, the current Li Zicheng did not have the ability to harm Xi'an City. Now that it has been determined that Li Zicheng is not the mastermind behind the scourge of Shaanxi, there is no need for Mao Wenlong to stay here for a long time.
The battlefield was still fighting, and Xu Fuzuo led the cavalry battalion to use its mobility and guerrilla tactics to suppress Li Zicheng's 50,000 army very passively. It's a pity that Mao Wenlong's current strength is limited, otherwise this will take the opportunity to press the army again, and Li Zicheng's rebel army will inevitably be defeated.
However, Mao Wenlong's mind was no longer with Li Zicheng at the moment, and he couldn't wait to go back to Xi'an, so after some deep thought, he ordered Chen Jisheng: "After the whole army attacks and repels the enemy, we will immediately set off and return." ”
Chen Jisheng's spirit was shocked, and he immediately took the order to go!
Mao Wenlong took one last look at the battlefield on the city tower, and then resolutely turned around and went down the city tower. After breaking the city, Mao Wenlong was not polite, and all the things that belonged to the official family would never be left as long as they could be taken away.
Anyway, if you leave behind, you will still be hated by Li Zicheng in the future, and there seems to be no difference between being more ruthless and hating less. So you're welcome, you can take as much as you can.
Chen Jisheng soon led 3,000 infantry to attack, and with Xu Fuzuo's attack, the two armies converged and attacked the rebel army.
The rebel army was in chaos, and under the tremendous pressure of the Dongjiang Army, they began to retreat. And Li Zicheng in the Chinese army was also gloomy, his face was dull, and he didn't know what he was thinking?
A fine cold sweat broke out on Yingshanjian's forehead, and the strength of the Dongjiang Army once again refreshed his cognition. Mao Wenlong only dispatched less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then completely messed up the 50,000 troops on his side.
And now it is directly facing a great crisis, and the rebel army may flee in a hurry at any time. I know my own affairs, what the rebel army has always been, and Yingshanjian has always known it.
"King Chuang, why don't we retreat first for the time being, and when the reinforcements arrive, it's not too late for us to recapture Shuangzhou City." Yingshanjian is not without worries.
Li Zicheng was still silent, and he knew in his heart at this moment that if he didn't retreat, his subordinates wouldn't be able to last long. But the problem is that at present, the Dongjiang army has only dispatched a few thousand people, and there are 50,000 people on his side, but he is not willing to end up in such a situation.
Seeing that Li Zicheng had not yet made up his mind, Ying Shanjian had to persuade again: "King Chuang, we don't have many troops at present, and we really can't wait any longer." If we are scattered by the Dongjiang Army, we will not just lose face in the future. ”
Ying Shanjian has already spoken very excessively this time, and if it was in normal times, he would not dare to say it. But at this moment, there is no room for delay, and any further delay will inevitably lead to a catastrophe.
Li Zicheng also seemed to realize that he could not hesitate any longer, even if he ordered the withdrawal of troops.
After Mao Wenlong saw Li Zicheng's withdrawal from the city tower, he immediately ordered Xu Fuxuan to not pursue them, and he also withdrew his troops.
Soon the battlefield was left with a mess and many corpses, most of which were from the rebels, and the casualties of the Dongjiang army were only a very few.
After Mao Wenlong determined that Li Zicheng had withdrawn his troops, he immediately ordered the evacuation of the capital city of Shuangzhou, and the Dongjiang Army escorted the spoils of war and set off back to Xi'an in a mighty manner.
……
"Are you sure Mao Wenlong evacuated Shuangzhou City?" Li Zicheng shouted in surprise in his big tent of the Chinese army.
"King Chuang, this is indeed the case, I have sent hundreds of soldiers into the city to investigate the situation first, and I will be able to determine the authenticity after a while. Also, Xi'an's plan was very successful, and Mao Wenlong's evacuation so soon must have been due to an accident in Xi'an. Yingshanjian told Li Zicheng the latest news.
Li Zicheng quickly calmed down, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately ordered: "Shanjian, this king orders you to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to rush to Long'an Mansion immediately, and do everything in your power to meet those who have fled from Xi'an." ”
Yingshanjian's spirit was shocked, and he immediately clenched his fists and received the order: "The subordinates obey the order." ”
Li Zicheng showed a rare smile, and said: "Mao Wenlong has returned, we should also stop, after receiving those who escaped from Xi'an, you will recall all the people who attacked the village." ”
"King Chuang, don't worry, his subordinates will not let you down." Yingshanjian swore solemnly.
"Well, go ahead, you have to rush before Mao Wenlong returns to Xi'an, I will send troops here to ambush them halfway to buy you more time." Li Zicheng has already begun to dance with his eyebrows.
Yingshanjian immediately retreated, transferred 10,000 elite soldiers in the army, and then hurried to Long'an Mansion to act according to orders.
Li Zicheng was not idle, he led the remaining soldiers and horses, quickly chased after Mao Wenlong, and prepared to create some trouble for him on his way back, so that he could not quickly go back to Xi'an to preside over the overall situation.
Xi'an's East and West Cities are in chaos at the moment, and it is the first time since Mao Wenlong moved to Xi'an. Hong Chengchou, Chengzuo, and Liu Guangzuo were all so angry that they jumped to their feet, and many wealthy families in the city had gathered outside Mao's mansion at this moment, as well as those merchants who had been looted.
Since these people were ransacked, they have been deliberately guided by those who deserve to be in trouble to seek protection, which also caused Hong Chengchou and them to be unable to send troops in time to arrest those who were in trouble.
"Lord Hong, we're still a step slower, half of those people have already fled the city with a lot of wealth. At present, although the Dongjiang Army is chasing everywhere, it has had little effect, and has not caught anyone who escaped from the city so far. Cheng Zuo frowned.
Hong Chengchou sighed lightly and said: "Alas, it seems that these people have planned it a long time ago, but we only care about the safety of the official family, and ignore the wealth of the people. ”
Cheng Zuo also nodded in agreement after hearing this, and he spoke again: "Lord Hong, then do we immediately drive out those who are in distress now?" ”
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "It is absolutely impossible to drive away, presumably there are still hidden spies in the city now, and we can't give them any more chance to make waves." It would be better to gather all the asylum seekers outside the house, register their losses, and then calm them down, so that the city can be at peace as soon as possible. ”
Cheng Zuo nodded and said, "Then I'll do it immediately." ”
Hong Chengchou showed a wry smile: "There is General Lao Cheng." ”
Chengzuo then said goodbye, and then left quickly, Hong Chengchou was depressed. Today's carelessness in Jingzhou, let Xi'an under his control, such a thing actually happened, he has an unshirkable responsibility.
