Chapter 837: The army is like a mountain
Hong Chengchou escaped!
Hong Chengchou didn't choose to come to Licheng to meet him, but took the army and left all the baggage with the army and fled north! This made Li Benshen completely unexpected.
Even if they want to escape, they should follow the main road to Licheng, and then retreat north along the main road. Although Hong Chengchou went out of the Zhangqiu Mountains, there were no mountains to obstruct him, but there was no road suitable for marching. He abandoned his baggage and fled like this, where does the army still have combat effectiveness?
Can an army fight without baggage support? Crazy, crazy!
Gao Jinku's face turned green, and he scolded: "Bastard, what a bastard, we finally blocked the Ming army in Jinan for them, and they just fled in spite of it!" Big brother, we're done now! ”
Hong Chengchou has fled, and the more than 10,000 people in Licheng will face the attack of the 100,000 Ming army in Jinan, how can they still resist? I'm afraid I don't even have much chance of escaping! The 20,000 troops of the Ming army were not far from Licheng, and the main army even went around to the north. I'm afraid that as soon as this side leaves the city, it will be embellished by the Ming army, and how can the morale-free side compete with the Ming army? I'm afraid that as long as I get out of the city, it will be a rout in an instant.
Keep going? Hong Chengchou has escaped, how can he keep it, and what's the point?
"Big brother, let's surrender!" Gao Jinku was also desperate, and hesitated to suggest.
"Surrender, have you forgotten your uncle's great feud? He was forced to death by Chen Yue! Li Benshen said angrily.
"My uncle is dead, but we still have to live, do we still have a way out if we don't surrender?" Gao Jinku was also angry, "It's all your fault, I said a long time ago that I wanted to escape, but you had to wait for Hong Chengchou, now that people have left you to walk, stupid!" You refuse to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, you have to be loyal to the Qing Dynasty, the Manchurians are your ancestors! ”
When people reach a dead end, when they are extremely afraid, they can say anything, and they don't care about anything, in the eyes of Gao Jinku at this time, what relatives and friendships are not as important as their own lives!
"You!" Li Benshen was furious, pointing at Gao Jinku's angry lips and trembling.
"What are you? Anyway, I've decided, surrender to Daming! We are originally Ming people, why should we take refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty and be slaves to others to disgrace our ancestors. You always talk about my uncle, and my uncle will definitely not let you be a traitor if he is alive! I found an excuse, and I found a reason to convince myself, Gao Jinku scolded and walked straight out.
"I've decided, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, if you have brothers who want to live, follow me!"
"Who dare!" Li Benshen shouted angrily, and drew his sword. However, Gao Jinku only glanced at him contemptuously, and walked out without looking back.
When Li Benshen wanted to make a move, he saw one after another of his subordinates, put down his weapons and followed Gao Jinku.
"Boom long ......" was full of the sound of laying down their weapons, and one after another the soldiers of the Green Battalion put down their swords in their hands, and followed behind Gao Jinku, the number of people was getting bigger and bigger, and the line was getting longer and longer.
The west gate of Licheng was opened, and the soldiers on duty on the city wall also laid down their weapons, came down from the city wall, and followed Gao Jinku towards the outside of the city.
Li Benshen's body trembled, and he barely stood up straight by leaning on the sword in his hand.
The two guards behind him glanced at each other, and instead of helping him, they knelt down and kowtowed to him, put down their waist knives, and chased after the brigade in the distance.
......
On the field twenty miles east of Licheng, the mountains are full of soldiers, and they have long been unable to distinguish where they belong to the queue, and they are going north one by one with their heads down.
The commander of the Green Battalion, the Manchu Inspector and University Scholar Hong Chengchou, with the support of two staff, also walked on the frozen hard ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
It's not that he wants to run away like this, it's that there's no way.
Early this morning, a rout chased after him from Qingzhou and joined the queue, but it was the remnants of the army led by Guo Hu who were defeated.
Hong Chengchou immediately summoned Guo Hu and asked about the situation in Qingzhou and the situation of the Ming army in Jiaodong.
"Supervisor, it's over, Jiaodong is finished!" Guo Hu cried and said: "Tang Tong colluded with the Ming army and killed Chen Yue, who led Bai Guangen to surrender. released Wu Pingbu of Dengzhou.
Now Chen Yue has joined Wu Ping's army of more than 100,000, plus the surrendered Tang Tong and other green battalion soldiers, the strength is more than 200,000.
The last general couldn't hold Jiaozhou at all, and had to retreat to Qingzhou, who knew that Chen Yue was in hot pursuit, and led the troops to chase Qingzhou, and the last general fought with him several times, and he really couldn't resist his large number of troops, so he had to retreat to Jinan.
Inspector, shouldn't you go back to Jinan? How to get here? ”
Hong Chengchou's face was ashen, knowing that Guo Hu's words were flawed, with his strength, I am afraid that he would flee without seeing Chen Yue's shadow, what did he say about several battles in a row? However, Hong Chengchou is powerless to blame, because he himself is the same bag.
After leading the troops to fight for more than ten years, Hong Chengchou thought that he was well versed in military strategy, so he made the decision to lure the Ming army on the Western Road to attack Jinan and take the opportunity to annihilate him. Who knew that he was blinded by the geese pecked by the geese all the year round, and he was defeated in the hands of Li Yi, an unknown person! How does this make Hong Chengchou have the face to mention it?
With a wave of his hand, Guo Hu went down and placed his rout behind the army.
However, Guo Hu was not idle, and when the army stopped to rest and eat, he and some of his routs scurried in the middle of the army. The army was already demoralized because of the unpredictable future, and the military discipline was naturally not as good as in the past, and no one cared too much about the behavior of Guo Hu and others, but many generals pulled him to ask about the situation in Jiaodong.
Slowly, Hong Chengchou found that something was wrong, and when he set off after dinner, several generals were struggling, and his army just refused to get up.
When Hong Chengchou sent people to inquire and ordered those generals to come and talk back, Wu Shengzhao, Wang Guangtai and other generals refused to come to the Chinese army.
Hong Chengchou, who saw some signs, decisively asked Zhun Ta to take the Eight Banners to deter, and in the face of the obscenity of the Eight Banners, Wu Shengzhao and others did not dare to fight, but chose to lead the troops to escape. Each fled east with hundreds of his own soldiers, ignoring the ordinary army under his command.
The main general and the most elite personal soldiers fled, and the Eight Banners soldiers killed them viciously, and the ordinary soldiers under Wu Shengzhao, Wang Guangtai and others didn't know what was going on, so they were so frightened that they threw down their weapons one by one and fled.
In an instant, the twenty or thirty thousand troops in the rear were scattered!
Hong Chengchou didn't know that something was wrong, if it went on like this, he wouldn't be able to reach Licheng, and I was afraid that this army would have to escape. He immediately broke off and ordered the whole army to abandon their baggage and go north, heading straight for the Daqing River. As long as they can cross the Daqing River and stay away from the Ming army, these soldiers under their command will gradually feel at ease, and they will calmly clean up the army's heart in the future.
