Chapter 143, Irikawa (5)

There are not many people who are Hu Yidao, but the fog has not completely dispersed at this time, and it is still not clear to see a little farther away. Hu Yidao's 300 people suddenly came out, killing people and setting fires, while shouting and screaming to create momentum. In the fog, Zhang Kewang and his sergeants couldn't figure out how many enemies were coming from behind, and they didn't even know what the state of their army was at this time, because under the fog, their vision was only more than ten steps.

Therefore, with this shouting and killing, Zhang Kewang almost immediately lost control of his army. The soldiers who were fighting with the revolutionary army in front of them were immediately distracted and deflated after hearing the shouts of killing coming from behind them, and they immediately couldn't resist and were rushed by the revolutionary army.

Zhang Kewang is also a veteran general, and as soon as he looks at the situation in front of him, he knows that a big defeat is inevitable. However, he still decided to take the risk of staying here for a while before running, not because Zhang Kewang felt that he still had the possibility of reversing the defeat, but because he also wanted to escape with as many elites as possible.

Zhang Kewang and several personal soldiers around him shouted loudly while fighting, asking the soldiers to concentrate on him. The shout had some effect, and it wasn't long before more than a hundred people gathered around him, and many more soldiers approached him. But at the same time, more revolutionary troops rushed forward. At this time, the fog dispersed a little, which made everyone's vision clearer, and Zhang Kewang's group immediately became the primary target of the revolutionary army that rushed up. The revolutionary army, which had been in chaos in the thick fog, quickly regrouped and slowly surrounded them. Zhang Kewang knew that if he didn't leave, he might not be able to leave.

"Brothers, rush out from here! I'll cut you off! Zhang Kewang shouted, he was going to let the soldiers break out in the northwest direction, at least for now, it seemed that there were not many enemy troops there.

The revolutionary army over there has already formed a strict mandarin duck formation and is pressing forward step by step. Zhang Kewang took his own soldiers, as well as some soldiers who had just gathered, brandishing the spears in his hands, trying to temporarily block these revolutionary troops who were pressing up.

"Block them, block him......" Zhang Kewang was shouting, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, which made the muscles of his body tense in an instant, he trembled all over, and wanted to shout, but he couldn't shout, only some "lotus" sound from his throat, and then, his eyes were dark, and he fell down. Just as he fell, he faintly heard a voice shouting: "General Zhang is dead!" We're defeated, run! ”

Zhang Kewang's death in battle made his army collapse suddenly, and the soldiers couldn't care about the battle anymore, so they turned around and ran away. The revolutionary army did not care to continue to maintain a strict formation, and also accelerated to catch up......

After Zhang Kewang was killed in battle, the revolutionary army continued to move forward and took Kuizhou on the same day. After Zhang Yunzhi got the news, he immediately abandoned his infantry and turned north with 2,000 cavalry. Qin Zhensu's strength in his hands was limited, so he didn't dare to pursue it on a large scale. Even, after receiving the news that Huang Zide's troops had entered Sichuan on a large scale, she immediately shrank her forces and retreated to the stone pillar.

Since Zhang Kewang was killed in battle and Zhang Yunzhi retreated without a fight, the revolutionary army advanced rapidly with little hindrance, and on the seventh day after the Battle of Baidi City, it easily occupied the first important target of this operation, Chongqing.

As far as the threat to Jingxiang is removed, more than half of this goal has been achieved by taking control of Chongqing. Next, the revolutionary army will repair in Chongqing for a period of time, first, to recover from the fatigue of continuous combat, and second, to wait for more supplies to be brought in from the downstream Shuojiang River.

……

Just when Xuan Yi and He Zhangqi were repairing in Chongqing, Luo Mengde and his men had just left Nanyang and headed towards Xinyang. Nanyang is also a big city in Henan, which was originally the fief of the Tang king. A few years ago, the King of Tang was suspected by Emperor Chongde of "having other plans" because he raised troops without authorization when the Tartar soldiers were in the city of Beijing, so the whole family was sent to Fengyang and confined. Therefore, there is no Tang King in the Tang Palace in Nanyang today. When King Tang was King Qin, he turned a lot of property in the palace into ordnance and military salaries, and his family was imprisoned after that, so in the Tang Palace, Luo Mengde did not get much of it. However, although the Tang Wang's family has not been in the mansion for several years, the maintenance of the Tang Wangfu has not fallen, and the palace is still magnificent. Luo Mengde lived in it for a few days, so comfortable that he didn't want to leave Nanyang. Luo Mengde spent a total of five days in Nanyang, and by recruiting displaced people and coercing citizens, he quickly expanded his army to nearly 50,000 men. At the same time, the people he sent to contact the 5th Battalion of the Revolution also brought back new information.

"What does Grim say?" Romond asked.

"King Geliyan said that as long as your army arrives near Lu'an, he will immediately kill it, work together with the king to kill Liu Liangzuo, and then go east together to live happily in the south of the Yangtze River." The messenger replied.

"King Zuojin, King of Troubled Times, what do they say?" Romant asked again.

"King Zuo Jin said that he had long wanted to do a big job. It's a pity that Huang Zide refused to come, if the king killed him, he would naturally be willing to fight side by side with the king. As for the King of Troubled Times, he also wants to do a big job. It's just that he hopes that the king will slow down a little, because according to the agreement between him and the court, in a few days, the court should send him a batch of grain. He wanted to get the grain first, and then turn against the court. ”

"Grain? At this time, the court still has food for him? Romond was surprised, "How much grain?" ”

"The King of Troubled Times didn't say it, but his subordinates inquired, and it seems that it is two hundred stones or how much." The messenger replied.

"Two hundred stones?" Luo Mengde couldn't help laughing, "The king of troubled times in dog days, his eyelids are still so shallow!" Two hundred stone of grain, is it also worth this? But that's it, that's the real King of Troubled Times that I recognize! Then again, will the imperial court really give him two hundred stone of grain? As far as the momentum of the imperial court is concerned, if it drifts a little, I am afraid that it may not even have a hundred stones. Lao Tzu was recruited by the imperial court, this set, Lao Tzu knows! ”

"What should we do, the king?" Wang Lung asked on the side.

"What to do? Ignore him. Luo Mengde said, "Let's continue to Anhui according to our plan." Can we really give our army a few more days of food on the road for the sake of food that he doesn't necessarily have for a hundred stones? NND, Lao Tzu is not his mother. ”

In the palace, a man was being summoned and questioned by the emperor. This person is Sun Baigu, who was previously imprisoned by Emperor Chongde because of "attitude problems".
