Chapter 401: Overseer

On the morning of the next day, Zhang Guang, Marquis of Wuwei, rushed to the Li Mansion with an expressionless face, accompanied by several nobles, with a gloomy face and a serious expression.

Zhang Guang thought that the bearded general would be able to capture the Li Mansion last night, but after waiting all night there was no news, but he received a request for help.

Therefore, Zhang Guang was angry and personally brought people to the Li Mansion to check, but he wanted to see if the Li Mansion was the Longtan Tiger's Den, which made the bearded general with superior forces unable to capture it so far.

If it weren't for the fear that there would be a sneak attack by the soldiers of the British public camp hiding on the street, Zhang Guang led his troops to rush over in the early morning when he received a request for help from the bearded general.

Although Zhang Guang is not afraid of death, he is now delicate and expensive, and he will become a heavy minister of Conglong who supports King Lifu to ascend the throne, so he doesn't want to capsize in the gutter, so he patiently waits until dawn before leaving.

At this time, the streets near the Li Mansion were already full of people watching the excitement, and they were blocked out by the soldiers of the Beijing army from a distance, and they gathered in groups to discuss the fighting in the Li Mansion, and since last night, the people in the vicinity have heard the shouts of killing during the battle.

"Why are they besieging Li Zhuangyuan's mansion?"

"I heard that it was hiding the rebels!"

"Rebels? Hmph, those people just want to rescue the British Duke who was detained by Wu Weihou, and everyone knows who the rebels are. ”

"Shhhh You can be quiet, it will be troublesome to be heard by Wu Weihou's people. ”

"Li Zhuangyuan's mansion can actually take in the British duke's people, it is really righteous, I am afraid that no one in the capital dares to do this!"

"This Li Zhuangyuan's mansion has been fighting all night, why haven't the people from the Beijing camp attacked it yet?"

"It seems that there are new troops inside, and the people of Jingying can't beat them."

"It seems that Li Zhuangyuan really lives up to his reputation, and no one can manage the military camp!"

……

The fierce battle that took place in the Li Mansion caused the people gathered at the scene to talk a lot, and many of them had already understood the cause and effect of the incident, so they were full of sympathy for the Li Mansion and realized the strength of the new army.

Zhang Guang naturally heard the discussions of the people on both sides of the road along the way, and his brows became more and more wrinkled, and it was obvious that the people in the capital regarded him as a bad person who usurped power, and they were full of reverence for the British Duke and Li Hongyu.

However, this is a helpless thing, Zhang Guang can't stop the mouths of the people, once he gives such an order, it will undoubtedly cause an uproar in the capital, and he doesn't want to make extraneous branches at such a critical moment.

Anyway, as long as King Fu ascends the throne, then he will go down in history like the exploits of the Battle of Jingjing, and the history books have always been written by the victors.

The bearded general had already been passed on, and he had already led his military attachés to greet him from afar, with an embarrassed look on his face, God knew that those new troops in the Li Mansion were so powerful.

"How's the battle going?"

Zhang Guang saw that he wanted to scold the bearded general, but seeing that almost all of the military attachés behind him were injured and stained with a lot of blood, as if he had experienced a cruel battle, he knew that Zhang Guang did his best, and the anger in his heart was extinguished a lot for some reason, and he asked while walking with a gloomy face.

"Back to the Hou Ye, they have been forced into the backyard by us, the arrows have been shot, as long as they give the lowly post a support army, the lowly post will definitely take it down."

The bearded general bowed to Zhang Guang and solemnly asked for battle, "If you don't succeed in this battle, you will become a benevolent!" ”

Zhang Guang's brows suddenly frowned when he heard this, and it took a whole night for the bearded general to capture the front yard of the Li Mansion, and even asked him for reinforcements in order to launch an attack on the backyard while the soldiers of the New Army were exhausted, could it be that his soldiers could no longer fight?

Therefore, Zhang Guang did not answer the bearded general's words, but quickened his pace to the scene to see the condition of the bearded soldiers.

The streets near the Li Mansion were filled with dejected soldiers, sitting or lying, many of them wounded, and some of the seriously injured were wailing and moaning in pain, and the atmosphere was low and miserable.

Some of the city's doctors had been requisitioned by the bearded generals, and were busy treating the wounded soldiers, whose hands and bodies were covered in blood because of the large number of wounded soldiers.

"Master Hou!" Seeing Zhang Guang and the others coming, the soldiers sitting on the ground stood up one after another.

Zhang Guang walked through the street in front of those soldiers expressionlessly, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he didn't expect the casualties to be so large, and most importantly, he found that the soldiers were demoralized and had no fighting spirit, as if they wanted to flee from here, which was the most terrible.

Several carriages pulling corpses came from the front, and when they saw Zhang Guang and others coming, the coachman hurriedly parked the carriage on the side of the road to avoid it, and there were a lot of corpses piled up on the carriage.

The weather in August is still a little hot, so the corpses on the battlefield must be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise it is easy to cause diseases and then form a plague.

"Did you catch a live mouth?" Zhang Guang stopped and looked at the corpses on the carriages, the body of the Beijing army was far more than the corpses of the new army, and then asked the bearded general with a cold expression, he wanted to know the current situation of the new army.

"Back to Master Hou, we caught a few live mouths." Hearing this, the bearded general hurriedly bowed, "But they are all seriously injured, I'm afraid they won't survive." ”

A look of surprise suddenly flashed on Zhang Guangyan's face, doesn't this mean that the soldiers of the new army will not surrender to the death, this kind of fighting will is something he dreams of but cannot obtain, and his heart has mixed feelings for a while.

"Heal them!" After a deep groan, Zhang Guang gave an expression of an order, and then strode towards the Li Mansion, he didn't want to be without a single prisoner of the new army after a battle of labor and mobilization, wouldn't that make outsiders see his joke.

"Obedience." When the bearded general heard this, he hurriedly asked people to inform him and instructed the doctors to treat the seriously wounded of the new army who had lost their combat effectiveness.

In ancient times, people did not take the initiative to treat the enemy's prisoners, and usually left the wounded to fend for themselves, so the wounded of the new army were not treated.

Since the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion has been torn down, only one gate is left standing alone, and although the corpses in the courtyard have been pulled away, the blood left on the ground to gather into a stream shows the cruelty of the previous battle.

On the ground in front of the courtyard gate were two large piles of New Army soldiers' tools, which had been ripped from the bodies of the New Army soldiers who had died in battle, one pile of armor and the other pile of weapons, all stained with a lot of blood.

"What fine armor and weapons!" Zhang Guang checked the armor and weapons of the new army, there were many knife marks on those armors that were difficult to penetrate, and although the blades of the weapons were rolled, the remaining blades were still very sharp, which made him secretly praise in his heart.

If the weapons of the Ming army are the most sophisticated, then Zhang Guang will not hesitate to choose the new army, Li Hongyu's requirements for ordnance are completely higher than Zhang Guang's imagination, you must know that these are piled up with money, and the Ming military circle except Li Hongyu may not have any general who will make such a cost.

It's no wonder that the bearded general has not been able to control the Li Mansion after a night of fighting, the military quality of the soldiers of the new army is already higher than that of the soldiers of the Beijing army, plus they have excellent ordnance, how can the soldiers under the bearded general be the opponent of the soldiers of the Beijing army?

"Ben Hou gives you a team, you personally lead the army to take the backyard to Ben Hou, if you fail, come and see you!"

At this point, Zhang Guang no longer had any choice, and after a deep groan, he said to the bearded general with a stern expression, if he didn't capture the Li Mansion, then he would become a joke in the capital, and he would lose face.

"The lowly will definitely take it down." The bearded general knew that this was his last chance, so he replied that he also wanted to win this battle, otherwise what face would he have in the future?

Zhang Guang looked coldly at the devastated Li Mansion, his fists couldn't help but clench, he mobilized a large number of soldiers from the Beijing army this time, preparing to take advantage of the exhaustion of the soldiers of the new army after a night of fierce fighting to use crowd tactics to capture the backyard and end this farce in his eyes.

Following Zhang Guang's order, the soldiers of the Jing army who followed him began to gather in the front yard of the Li Mansion, ready to launch the final blow.

Perhaps touched by the strong smell of blood at the scene and the wounded of many Beijing soldiers, the atmosphere at the scene was very tense and depressing.

At the same time, the backyard of the Lee Mansion.

Qin Yue sat in the living room with her eyes closed, her face looked extremely cold, and there was a short knife on the table in front of her.

The women in the family have been taken away by Naren Tuoya and Rou'er, Qin Yue has already thought about it, she would rather die than be a prisoner, once the Li Mansion is breached, she can only choose to commit suicide to save her reputation.

"Miss Qin, it seems that Wuwei Hou is here and has mobilized a large number of soldiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop them this time."

The door creaked open, and a new military attaché covered in blood and bandages on his arms and chest walked in, and said in a loud voice after bowing his hand to Qin Yue, "Miss Qin, you can't have an accident, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the training envoy, you better evacuate here, and we will fight a bloody way through the back door." ”

"Madame, you better leave, if you have any accidents, I will become a sinner."

The general with a national character face who was evading the pursuit also led the other three generals to follow, and bowed his hand to Qin Yueyi, and said with an excited expression.

Prior to this, the national-faced generals did not realize that the situation would reach this point, let alone that the soldiers of the new army would resist all night, making it difficult for the pursuing troops of the Beijing army led by the bearded general to move an inch, and their combat effectiveness was far stronger than they imagined.

The national-faced general once tried to pull the longbow used by the soldiers of the new army, and was surprised to find that the bowstrings that the soldiers of the new army easily pulled out actually looked a little difficult when he pulled them out, which shows that the physical fitness of the Beijing army alone is a big difference in the new army.

Now that Marquis Wu Wei has personally rushed to supervise the battle, the general with the face of the national character does not want Qin Yue to have an accident, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Li Hongyu, nor would he have the face to meet the British duke.

The national-faced generals wanted to go out and surrender, but they had already implicated the Li Mansion, even if he surrendered, the bearded generals would not stop attacking, it was obvious that Zhang Guang's goal of attacking the Li Mansion this time was to go to Li Hongyu, so he had to escort Qin Yue to leave.

"You don't need to persuade again, this girl is Li Hanlin's fiancée, and now she is also the mistress of the Li Mansion, how can she run away, what is Li Hanlin's reputation at that time?"

Qin Yue opened her eyes, glanced around at the national-faced general in front of her, and said with a resolute expression, "This girl has already decided to live and die with the Li Mansion!" ”

The Guozi-faced generals and others couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, their faces were full of helplessness, what they were most worried about was that Qin Yue and Wu Weihou's people would fight to the death, and now it seems that the situation is developing in the most serious direction, once Qin Yue has an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable.
