Chapter 52: The Siege of Blackwater Camp Ends
"Good!" , Chen Jialuo folded the fan and patted his left hand, his face was happy, "How many people did Fude bring?" How many days are you expected to get here? ”
"Fu De led the deputy commander Obosh and the guards Ma Yu, Erden, Lao Ge, etc., on November 11, day and night, the leading minister Doubin, the minister of the scattered rank Yongqing, the deputy commander Huerqi, Fu Lu, the chief manager Duan Jibu and other leading troops, with a total of 3,500 soldiers from the interior and Sauron and the original garrison. Aligon, the minister of Balikun, led 800 troops, carrying 3,000 horses and 700 camels, and Fude accompanied him, with a total of 4,300 troops on both sides! Judging from the current marching speed of Fude, it will be possible to reach the city of Leining in three days. Shi Shuangying inquired about the information of the Qing army clearly, and obviously put a lot of effort into it.
He seems to be more suitable than Luo Bing to be in charge of the intelligence department? Chen Jialuo had an idea in his heart, but he gave up after thinking about it, obedient, strict-mouthed, and strong execution, it was too wasteful for such a useful person to just use it for intelligence; "So Zhaohui must be extinguished within these three days!" , Chen Jialuo muttered to himself, and after asking some detailed questions, he sent Shi Shuangying out of the door, "Brother Twelve, the matter is urgent, I won't keep you, you rush back to Laining City overnight, and report it at any time if there is a change in the Qing army!" ”
"Yes!" , Shi Shuangying clasped his fists and saluted and quietly disappeared into the night.
Looking at the direction of the Heishui Camp from a distance, Chen Jialuo whispered, "Zhaohui, Zhaohui, when you were in Huiyuan City before, you were able to lead 1,500 people to break out of the encirclement, I'm afraid you won't have such good luck this time, right?" ”
At the same time, in the Zhaohui camp, in the past month or so, Zhaohui and the soldiers have eaten and lived together, and they have obviously lost a lot of weight, except for the indispensable war horses in the camp, other livestock have been killed cleanly, even the horse skins and saddles have been gnawed to the ground, and the remaining food is less than three days' needs, it is time to break through! Seeing that there was no news from the reinforcements for a long time, Zhaohui made a decision, "Pass the order, have a full meal tomorrow, Gao Tianxi will lead people to break through from the north, and the old man will personally lead people to break the rear." ”
"General! I'd better stay and break the queen! Gao Tianxi, the chief soldier of Xining Town, immediately stood up and said.
"Needless to say, the old man is ashamed of the emperor's grace, the light army has rushed forward and caused thousands of good sons and daughters to die, and he really has no shame to return to the Central Plains, this battle is only death, and the rest of the soldiers will please ask General Gao!" After speaking, Zhaohui bowed in the direction of the imperial capital, "Your Majesty, the only way for a slave to repay the king's kindness in the next life is to repay the king's kindness!" ”
Gao Tianxi didn't dare to fight anymore and took the order to go; Early in the morning of the second day, after breakfast, Zhaohui led 800 soldiers out of the south gate of the Heishui camp and rushed straight to the camp of the Muzhuolun tribe. Huo Ayi laughed and said, "General Zhaohui, my sister found out that there were a lot more smoke columns for cooking in your camp in the morning than usual, and she knew that you were going to break through, and we had already arranged an ambush, so you should surrender obediently!" ”
"Phew, the traitor is going to be rampant! Even if you get lucky today, there will be more people to exterminate you and so on in the future! After speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and slashed at Hoayi. After all, Zhaohui is fifty years old, and he can't compare to Huo Aiyi, who is in the prime of life, and was knocked off his horse by Huo Aiyi in a few rounds, and was stopped by Zhaohui's personal soldiers when he was about to chase and kill; Zhao Hui took the opportunity to change a horse and continued to kill; Moments later, Zhao Hui was shot in the face and fell again. A tribal cavalryman raised his spear and stabbed it into the ground, but he dragged him off his horse and killed him, and the horse he was riding was also cheaper by the way.
At the same time, Gao Tianxi rushed out of the north gate with Mingrui and the rest of the soldiers, and the arrows rained down not far away, and a woman in a yellow shirt with a small hat and an emerald green feather on her head led the team to block the way; Huo Qingtong didn't entangle with Gao Tianxi too much, intercepted and killed them for a while, then let them go, and followed behind the team to chase and kill; The horses in the Qing army were long enough for one person to ride, and many foot soldiers fell behind, and the screams were endless.
After running for two or three miles, a team of men and horses came out on both sides of the road to cut Gao Tianxi's department into three, and by the time he broke out of the encirclement, the soldiers he led were already one-third less. Huo Qingtong knew the truth of returning to the master and not intercepting him, and never stopped the Qing army directly on the opposite side, and every few miles, a team of men and horses would rush out from the side to cut Gao Tianxi's team a few points thinner; There was no one in front of them, and the Qing army had no intention of fighting the trapped beasts, and desperately beat their horses and ran in the direction of Lai Ning City.
"It's been so difficult to fight with the Qing army this month, why is it so easy today?" , The dustless Taoist chief looked at the soldiers who fell behind the team one by one and were easily hacked to death by the Qing army led by Huo Qingtong and asked.
"They no longer have the courage to turn back and fight, and now they only think about running for their lives, which is naturally easy to deal with." , Chen Jialuo sighed, "The Ming army of hundreds of people in Liaodong was chased by more than a dozen Tartars at least and did not dare to turn back and resist, and finally died of exhaustion, this is the same as today!" ”
The battle on the Blackwater Battalion's side continued until nightfall, and Zhao Hui was guarding a hill with the last few of his own soldiers, and Hoayi led hundreds of men to surround him tightly, trying to persuade him to surrender again. Zhao Hui didn't pay any attention to it, dismounted and bowed three times in the direction of the capital, and then killed himself with a horizontal sword, and none of the soldiers around him surrendered, or scolded or laughed and then killed themselves; Seeing the scene in front of him, Hoayi had no joy after the victory, and his heart was full of bitterness.
Huo Qingtong's pursuit lasted for two days, Gao Tianxi was cut off his horse, and most of the soldiers he led were killed, only Mingrui escaped with dozens of people.
When Huo Qingtong returned to Yarkand City, a bunch of bonfires were lit in the city again, the herdsmen peeled and washed the whole lamb, sprinkled precious spices and roasted it on the fire, and the young men and girls sang and danced around the bonfire, and Yarkand City was rarely restored to peace temporarily.
"Come on, come on, my good daughter, come to me!" Seeing Huo Qingtong, Mu Zhuolun shouted happily, if it weren't for his baby daughter this time, it is estimated that the subordinates would have been defeated by Zhaohui a long time ago.
In the middle of the moon, after three rounds of drinking, Mu Zhuolun, who was drunk, once again saw Huo Qingtong looking at Chen Jialuo who was under him, and couldn't help touching his beard and laughing, then stood up and said loudly, "After defeating the cunning enemy, the young lads can herd horses and sheep with their beloved girls again, and it's time for my daughter to get married!" ”
Just as Mu Zhuolun was about to announce the wedding of Chen Jialuo and Huo Qingtong, the sound of a cow's horn suddenly came to mind outside, and a moment later, a man covered in blood rushed in front of him, "Old Hero Mu!" Reinforcements from the Qing court are coming! ”。 PS: Thank you for the reward of Mourning Wu Huaxia and Malu in the lower part of the day, what do you have to say in the group or book review area, ask for collection, click for recommendation, ask for reward**.
