Chapter 67: Defeat
The east gate of Luzhou City, located on the east side of Luzhou City, is the main attack of the Qing army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Great Western Army was responsible for guarding the east gate of the 8,000 Great Western Army under the command of Anxi General Li Dingguo.
At this time, the main tent of the barracks next to the east city gate was still brightly lit.
"Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing dared to suggest to their father-in-law that they should order all departments to break through on their own, what do they want to do? His heart can be punished, and he should be killed! ”
Looking at the military order in his hand, Li Dingguo, who was on the main seat, stood up and gritted his teeth.
"No, I have to advise my father-in-law to take back my fate, even if I want to break through, I have to concentrate the forces of all departments to break through, and scatter all departments to break through, it will only make the armies chaotic, how can I break through?"
Li Dingguo, who was furious, paced back and forth in the tent for a while, and then said, and wanted to go out after speaking.
The successive defeats have already made the remnants of the Great Western Army trapped in Luzhou City depressed, and now in this state, Zhang Xianzhong actually ordered each department to break through from all directions, which is equivalent to telling the generals that Zhang Xianzhong has given up on everyone.
As soon as this order comes out, I am afraid that all the generals in the army will have different intentions in their hearts, and Zhang Xianzhong will also lose control of the entire army, and it is estimated that the army will be in chaos before it breaks through.
This can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the generals who are now bowing their heads in the tent.
"General, the king only passed the general's order to our army at the end, obviously he already doesn't trust the general, and the general is afraid that going to persuade at this time will only lead to burning, and I'm afraid it's too late at this time."
Seeing this, Wang Fuchen, who was located at the bottom left of Li Dingguo, hurriedly stopped him and said with an indignant face.
Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing obviously also expected that letting the armies break through was likely to cause Luzhou City to mess up first, so the two deliberately shirked the time to issue the military order, and when the public general received the military order, it was too late to react, and Li Dingguo received the military order from the end.
"Heaven is dead, my big west!"
Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard this, and he was silent for a long time before he sighed.
Since he was a child, he has followed Zhang Xianzhong's side and naturally knows Zhang Xianzhong's character very well, Zhang Xianzhong's current behavior is obviously that he no longer trusts him, and just like Wang Fuchen said, at this time, the army has received orders, even if he wants to stop it, it is too late.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Sure enough, as soon as Li Dingguo's voice fell, there was already a shout of killing at the west gate of Luzhou City.
After receiving Zhang Xianzhong's military order, all the generals in the Daxi Army were panicked, and at the same time, there was a sense of anger in their hearts that they had been betrayed and abandoned.
Therefore, when it was only a quarter of an hour after receiving the military order, Zhang Xianzhong's great righteous son, Sun Kewang, the general of Pingdong of the Great Western Army, had already taken the lead in leading his troops out of Xicheng, preparing to escape to the hinterland of Daxi by bypassing Luzhou City.
Thousands of troops had just left the city before they were discovered by the besieging Great Western Army, and the two armies quickly engaged in a fierce battle.
Just when Sun Kewang's army was engaged in a battle with the Qing army, the generals of the Great Western Army from the west, south and north of Luzhou City began to break through.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
"Kill!"
Groups of Qing army iron cavalry quickly dispatched and began to rush to the three sides to strangle and break through the Great Western Army.
"Second brother, Sun Kewang has broken through the thief, and his father-in-law is gone, so let's break through from the other three gates."
Liu Wenxiu, the general of the Great Western Army in armor, opened the curtain and came to the tent, and looked anxiously towards Li Dingguo.
Among the four righteous sons under Zhang Xianzhong, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu are the closest, and the two have always advanced and retreated together.
And for Sun Kewang, who has always been jealous of Li Dingguo's talent, Liu Wenxiu is naturally very unaccustomed to it.
"No, the generals will listen to the order, immediately reorganize the army, and break through from the east gate"
At this time, Li Dingguo had already calmed down, and when he heard this, he waved his hand at Liu Wenxiu, stood up and calmly ordered Wang Fuchen.
"Yes, General!"
Looking at Li Dingguo's confident demeanor, Wang Fuchen and other generals suddenly boosted their morale and bowed down to receive the order.
Li Dingguo's prestige in the Great Western Army is extremely high, and all the generals under his command are convinced.
"Second brother, outside this east gate is where the Qing army camp is located, wouldn't it be our own net to break through from the east gate!" Liu Wenxiu's expression changed when he heard this, and he asked with slightly squinted eyes.
"Third brother, now that someone has begun to break through in the other three directions, the attention of the Qing army has been attracted to the other three gates, and we definitely will not expect that our army will still have the main force to break through from the east gate, we must take advantage of the Qing army's reaction before the rapid breakthrough and arrive at Niutan Town first, where I have secretly prepared some walkers, we can return quickly by boat"
Li Dingguo glanced back at Liu Wenxiu with a slightly complicated expression when he heard this, and said, regardless of Liu Wenxiu's reaction after speaking, he strode out first.
"Second brother, I hope we can live!"
Looking at Li Dingguo's departing back, Liu Wenxiu's expression was complicated, and he muttered in a voice that only he could hear, and followed Li Dingguo after speaking.
"Crunch squeak~"
"Kill!"
With the sound of the city gate opening, Li Dingguo glanced at Liu Wenxiu, who was following him closely, and then took the lead, galloping out with a spear in hand, leading him and Liu Wenxiu's 14,000 people to quickly go out from the east gate to the Qing army camp to kill.
In front of the tent of the Qing army, the commander of the Qing army, Hao Ge, who was wearing armor, stood in front of the formation surrounded by many Eight Banner Iron Cavalry, observing the situation of the entire battlefield.
"What a boldness, this is the Great Western Army, which way dares to break through from the east gate!"
Looking at Li Dingguo's army leading the army out of the east gate, Haoge couldn't help but say with a hint of appreciation on his face.
At this time, although most of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and Slave Army in the Qing army camp had gone to pursue the Great Western Army and attack Luzhou City, there were still nearly 6,000 iron cavalry and tens of thousands of slave troops in the camp.
"Lord Wang, this is Li Dingguo's men, he chose to break through here I am afraid that he has other plans," Aixin Jueluo Nikan, who was next to Haoge, heard this.
Aixin Jueluo Nikan, the minister of the Qing Dynasty, the grandson of the Qing Emperor Nurhachi, and the third son of Guangluo Belle Chu Ying, entered Dorobelle with his military exploits, and was the second highest status in the Qing army to Haoge in the expedition to Daxi.
"Li Dingguo? He is a rare member of Zhang Xianzhong's command."
Hauge's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his face showed a little interest.
In the months-long battle, they were very familiar with the fierce generals of the Qing army under Zhang Xianzhong, and the 1,000 cavalry under Li Dingguo had caused trouble for them before.
"However, no matter how brave he is, he still can't stop my Qing Dynasty Iron Horse."
After speaking, Hauge's voice changed, and he said proudly.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates are willing to take off Li Dingguo's head and offer it to the prince," Ao Bai on the right side of Haoge immediately bowed down and asked for his life when he heard this.
"Okay, then we'll wait here for the triumphant return of Aodutong," Hauge said happily when he heard this.
"Obey!"
"Woo woo woo~"
A whimpering horn sounded.
"Drive!"
"Pedal Pedal ~"
A group of blue flag cavalry quickly dispatched, accompanied by the sound of earth-shattering iron hooves, Ao Bai led thousands of iron cavalry to quickly kill Li Dingguo and others.
"Array!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Seeing this, Li Dingguo ordered loudly, and a group of soldiers of the Great Western Army armed with spears quickly dispatched and formed a gun formation in front of the formation.
"Kill!"
"Ah~"
The high-speed horse rode the iron cavalry and quickly entered the formation of the Great Western Army, and Ao Bai took the lead, jumped into the Great Western Army, and constantly waved the big knife in his hand to reap the lives of the soldiers of the Great Western Army.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, Li Dingguo jumped on the horse with a gun, shouted loudly and went to kill first.
"Bell Bell Bell ~"
The weapons in the hands of the two people continued to exchange blows, and there was a violent impact sound, Ao Bai and Li Dingguo, one of them was the first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the other was a fierce general of the Great Western Army.
The Great Western Army and the Qing Army have already stood together fiercely, although the Qing Army is brave, but the number is not dominant, and the scene is stalemate for a while.
"Lord Wang, Zhang Xianzhong is here!"
Just when Li Dingguo and Ao Bai led the army to fight the battlefield, hundreds of Eight Banners Iron Cavalry outside the camp escorted Zhang Xianzhong, Wang Zhaolan, Yan Ximing and others to the front of the battle.
"General, general, save us!"
Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing, who were being escorted, saw Nikan beside Haoge and hurriedly shouted for help.
"Lord Wang, the two of them are Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing, the left and right prime ministers of Daxi, and next to them is Zhang Xianzhong"
The actions of the two immediately attracted the attention of Hauge and the others, and Nikan hurriedly reported to Hauge when he saw this.
Behind the two of them, Zhang Xianzhong, who was escorted by two cavalrymen with the Blue Banner, looked dead, he never thought that he would be betrayed by the two ministers of the humerus he trusted the most.
"Let them go, escort Zhang Xianzhong up, and ask them all to surrender!"
Turning a deaf ear to Wang Zhaolan and Yan Ximing, Haoge just looked at Zhang Xianzhongdao.
"Ning Yu! (Lee Jeong-kook)"
Zhang Xianzhong was escorted to the front of the battle by several Zhenglan Banner cavalry, and looked at Li Dingguo, who was leading the army and the Qing army, and shouted sadly, and tears of remorse also flowed in his eyes.
Zhang Xianzhong, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, saw at a glance the purpose of Li Dingguo's breakthrough from the east gate, and he probably wanted to buy himself more time.
"Zhang Xianzhong is here, you will surrender quickly!"
"Zhang Xianzhong is here, you will surrender quickly!"
Pushing Zhang Xianzhong to the front of the battlefield, many soldiers with blue flags shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
The soldiers of the Great Western Army, who were fighting, exclaimed in surprise when they saw this.
"Father-in-law! All the generals will be killed with me! ”
Seeing this, Li Dingguo's face finally lost color, and after desperately firing a few shots to retreat, he hurriedly led the soldiers under his command to rush in the direction where Zhang Xianzhong was.
However, it is a pity that in front of the brave Zhenglan Banner cavalry, the soldiers of the Great Western Army around Li Dingguo kept falling, and he was also entangled by the Ao Bai who was killed again, and the situation of the Great Western Army was extremely critical for a while.
"Haha, I, Zhang Xianzhong, have such a son, this life is in vain! Ning Yu, it's for your father who has lost you! ”
Looking at Li Dingguo, who was disregarding his life on the field, Zhang Xianzhong looked up to the sky and laughed, and after speaking, he put the big knife on his neck and killed him immediately.
"Father-in-law!"
Li Dingguo exclaimed sadly when he saw this.
"Second brother, let's go!"
At this time, Liu Wenxiu led people to kill Li Dingguo's side, and grabbed Li Dingguo, who wanted to step forward to snatch the corpse.
"Brothers who want to go home, kill me!"
Being pulled by Liu Wenxiu like this, Li Dingguo also came back to his senses, and had to barely hold back the grief in his heart, raising his arms and shouting.
"Go home! Kill! ”
Seeing this, the morale of the Great Western Army, whose morale plummeted because of Zhang Xianzhong's death, cheered up again and followed Li Dingguo to kill.
This night, the sound of killing outside the entire Luzhou city shook the sky, and it lasted until nearly dawn before it gradually subsided.
