Chapter 538: Defeat is decided
More than 200,000 green battalions, more than 20 general soldiers, 50 or 60 deputy generals, staff generals, guerrilla generals, and less than half of the tents arrived at this time, and more than 30 people came to the tents!
What does this mean? This means that more than half of the generals of the Green Battalion are afraid to come.
Why don't you dare to come, it must be in collusion with the Ming army!
Azig's face was as ugly as iron, and his heart was turbulent. originally planned to take the opportunity of gathering generals to take down Zhang Yingxiang, Chang Deng, Lu Guangzu and others who colluded with the Ming army, and then control their troops. Who knew that so many generals did not dare to come, could it be said that more than half of the more than 200,000 green battalion soldiers colluded with the Ming army?
What now? Azig's sharp eyes swept over the faces of Li Guoying and the other Green Battalion generals, and he could see that they were all panicked.
The fact that so many people didn't show up means anything anyone who isn't a fool can see.
The dozens of Green Battalion generals were all panicked, but the heavily armed Eight Banners standing around them made them dare not move.
Li Guoying was also panicked on his face, but he showed a sneer in his heart.
Azig pondered for a moment, beckoned a goshha to him, whispered a few words, and the goshha turned and walked out of the tent.
"Generals!" Azig suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence in the tent, and everyone looked at him.
"This king is glad that you can come in time, which shows that you are all loyal and brave ministers of my Great Qing Dynasty.
In the past few days, a large number of Ming troops have secretly infiltrated our army's camp, and many people have been bewitched by the Ming army and have different intentions.
Hmph, just a few defeats have made many people uncertain, thinking that I am poor and short-sighted!
This king tells you that the army led by Ao Bai and Wu Sangui is like a bamboo, and has successively broken through Ningguofu and Guangdezhou, and now has entered the territory of Yingtianfu, and is about to attack the city of Nanjing.
At present, most of the Ming army's army is pinned down on the front line of Wuhu, including the Pingnan Army, which has the strongest combat power, and Fujian reinforcements. At present, the troops in Nanjing City are very empty, and the Ming army defending the city is weak and vulnerable, Ao Bai carried more than 100 red-clothed cannons with the army, and it will take a few days to break through Nanjing City and capture Ming Emperor Chongzhen alive.
When Nanjing is broken, the Ming army in Wuhu will collapse without a fight. But there are many people who don't know the art of war and are short-sighted, thinking that our army is hindered and has two hearts, which is really pitiful and ridiculous!
In fact, the king is very clear about what these people have done, and in the past few days, the soldiers patrolling the camp have seized countless details of the Ming army, and confiscated hundreds of letters that colluded with the Ming army. ”
With Azig's words, several goshkha walked into the tent, each holding a large stack of envelopes, and piled them on the ground with a clatter.
Looking at the large pile of letters, the faces of the Green Battalion generals present were shocked, and cold sweat flowed down the faces of several people.
"See, each of these letters was copied by the soldiers patrolling the camp and written to the Ming army or the Ming army to carry it. If you take them apart and follow the map, you will have to cut off at least dozens of heads!
However, this king is merciful, and Nian Er and others have just surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, and they don't want to worry too much, so they want to give Er and others a chance. ”
As he spoke, Azig waved his hand, and Goshha stepped forward to pour oil on the letter, then took out the torch and ignited it, and the letter quickly burned.
"What is written in the letter, whether it is in collusion with the Ming army, this king does not want to read it and does not want to know. This is what the king wants to tell you. My Eight Banners are invincible, the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are in response to the general trend of the people, and they are willing to follow my Qing Dynasty. The mantis arm will be crushed into powder! ”
The flames of Tongtong were accompanied by Azig's harsh words, and the faces of many people in the tent changed rapidly.
First took out a large pile of letter paper that claimed to have been confiscated and burned it to comfort the hearts of the generals, and then tempted the officials of the feudal territory with knighthood, and finally threatened with the Eight Banners. Hearing this, Li Guoying sighed secretly.
"Prince Ying rest assured, we will be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and unswervingly to the death!"
Li Guoying rolled his eyes, came out of the crowd, and knelt on the ground to show his loyalty.
"Prince Ying rest assured, we will be loyal to the Qing Dynasty and unswervingly to the death!"
The other generals of the Green Battalion also followed behind Li Guoying, knelt on the ground, and said in unison.
The original plan was to immediately seize them and control his army if Chang Deng Zhang Yingxiang came, and if he did not come, he would immediately send troops to attack. But now more than half of the green battalion generals will lead the future, how can they send troops to attack? It must lead to chaos in the camp.
Azig comforted the generals a few more words, promising to play to the imperial court, and when Nanjing was captured, they would all be given the title of marquis and uncle, and then let everyone go back, but Li Guoying was left.
In the envious eyes of the generals of the green camp, Li Guoying stood indifferently, but he was faintly complacent in his calmness, and he had a villain face that was valued by his master.
"Amma, why did you let them go? How good it would be to stay and be a hostage. As soon as the Green Camp was gone, Fourle asked hurriedly.
"Confused, do you want to force the rest of these Green Battalion generals to rebel too?" Azig reprimanded.
"The prince's kneading, although he temporarily stabilized these green camp generals who came, what about the other half? Those people openly refused to come to discuss the matter, if they were not punished, it would inevitably make the army lose their morale, and the green battalion soldiers would no longer be able to control it in the future! ”
Tan Tai, the commander of the Protector Army, asked worriedly. More than half of the generals of the Green Battalion openly refused to come, and in fact they had already separated from the Qing Dynasty, why did such a thing happen!
"Li Guoying, what do you think?" Azig asked Li Guoying, the only green battalion general in the tent.
"Lord Wang, please say bluntly, now that our army's defeat is decided, we should immediately consider withdrawing our troops." Li Guoying made an astonishing speech.
"Fart! What defeat has been decided, you dare to say nonsense that Lao Tzu killed you! Fu Lehe was furious and scolded.
"Li Guoying, don't be alarmist, although Wuhu was blocked and Jiujiang fell, but the main force of my Eight Banners was there, and I didn't suffer much loss, what do you say that the defeat is decided?"
Tan Tai was also dissatisfied.
When the troops were sent from Xi'an to attack the thieves, Azig commanded more than 40,000 Manchu and Han Eight Banner soldiers, experienced a series of major battles, broke the main force of the Shun army, captured Jiujiang soldiers to Wuhu, and now there are still 40,000 Eight Banner soldiers, although 20,000 of them were divided under the leadership of Ao Bai and Wu Sangui to attack Nanjing.
Since the main force is still there, big things can still be done, what is the defeat decided? As a result, even Azig showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, but out of trust in Li Guoying, he did not speak, but waited to see what Li Guoying said.
