Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Abandoned Son

This way away not only stunned Chen Wen, but although the soldiers of the Guards Battalion still continued to move forward with the guidance of the banner, they were all stunned. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Co-author Yang Jie, this guy came to listen to the white book......"

In the tea house, the storyteller talked lively, and a few people who listened to the white book also squatted at the door and listened to the stains, but once they were seen by the shopkeeper and the guys, they had to be driven away, so as not to block the door, so that those who really came to spend money and drink tea could not enter the door.

In an instant, Chen Wen suddenly found that he had played the role of a buddy for a while, and Yang Jie's gang immediately lost the mind to continue watching as soon as he saw the Ming army attacking, and turned around and ran. But after all, it is life and death on the battlefield, this fight is not fought, but as soon as the Ming army moves, he will flee, is it so beautiful that the Ming army attacked the city garrisoned by the Qing army, and even to the point where he has to come and see it even if he risks his life?

In an instant, Chen Wen had many thoughts, such as whether to let the cavalry catch up and slow down the movement speed of the Qing army, and unreliable such as whether Yang Jie had any mental illness, but seeing that the Jiujiang Green Battalion was running faster than a rabbit, Chen Wen also knew that it was not much use for his cavalry to catch up, but if he didn't get it, he would be bitten by the Qing army.

Forget it, let them run, this time as long as the Governor Battalion is eliminated, it will be enough for Hong Chengchou to drink a pot.

The flag stopped pressing, the drums of war stopped beating, and the whole Guards battalion stopped. With the new round of military orders, the army began to turn and return to join the Nantang battalion, only the cavalry was still hanging far behind the Qing army to observe its next move.

With the monoculars in hand, Chen Wen quickly noticed that at this moment, more than a dozen Ming troops had rushed to the city, and they were lined up in two small formations blocking the city wall to cover more Ming troops landing on the city.

These old walls were always straight on one side and looked quite impressive, but once the besieging army climbed the wall as it is now, the defenders in other areas could not attack the enemy troops from other directions like the bastion, and could only push back little by little.

The fierce fighting at the head of the city continued, with more than a dozen Ming troops stubbornly defending that small area, while the Qing army struggled to pour in from both sides. Chen Wen looked from a distance, the warrior who had just ascended first was no longer among them, and he didn't know if he was killed in battle, or he was injured and rested behind the pheasant.

I couldn't see it clearly, but I could only see the sword light and blood splashing in that area, and occasionally I would see something that I couldn't see clearly with the splash of blood in the air.

The battle at the head of the city was very fierce, and from time to time the Ming army or the Qing army would fall, and the Ming army under the city also transferred another ladder, which was erected next to the ladder that was constantly pouring soldiers up the city.

As more Ming troops began to pour into the city, suddenly, the defenders seemed to notice the situation in the distance, and after a scream of consternation, the Qing soldiers who were still struggling to squeeze the Ming army off the city wall gave up the attack and fled with the people into the city.

Chen Wen couldn't see what was going on on the stairs of the city, but the gray-blue color on the city's head began to fade rapidly, and the range of fiery red became larger and larger, which was self-evident.

………………

In the city, the gate of the county government had long been closed, and Zhang Guoxun, whose left arm was wrapped in a blood-stained cloth, came to the open space in front of the county government hall surrounded by a team of personal soldiers.

"Soldiers, the thieves have already entered the city, and the two dog mongrels Wang Zhigang and Yang Jie have fled. We all have a lot of thieves and thieves in our hands, and there is only one way to die if we surrender, and if we defend here, the court will definitely set up sacrifices for us. ”

"Swear to follow the commander to the death!"

"Swear to follow the commander to the death!"

"Swear to follow the commander to the death!"

“……”

This group of nearly 200 Qing troops was originally brought by Wang Sheng from the Ningbo Green Camp, and it was the Qing army that had been training the Mandarin Duck Formation for the longest time. After Wang Sheng was imprisoned by Hong Chengchou, Zhang Guoxun took over this elite army, and during this time, he was quite obedient with silver, which was used at this critical time.

In the shouts that resounded in the sky, Zhang Guoxun retreated into the back house of the county government under the pretext that he needed to take care of his wounds. After emptying the idle people, Zhang Guoxun's two personal soldiers worked together to lift a cabinet open, leaking a small hole in the back that could be drilled in and out for one person.

The small hole was guarded by a pile of debris outside, and Zhang Guoxun's personal soldiers pushed it open in an uproar under Zhang Guoxun's "tap, tap", and then hugged Zhang Guoxun one by one and drilled out.

Behind the small hole is a path between the house and the outer wall of the county office, Zhang Guoxun got out of the small hole in the house, and without the slightest reason, he crawled to a dog hole on the side of the outer wall, and then even his own soldiers drilled out one by one, leaving only the armor, sword and blood-stained bandage that Zhang Guoxun had just worn to identify him, and he guarded the county government with Wang Sheng's old subordinates.

………………

After all, the Qing army guarding this city is the Supervisory Battalion, a rare elite unit in the Southeast Green Battalion, but according to the report of Hou Guoyuan, who has always been the commander of the siege, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this Supervisory Battalion has not only not been restored or improved in the truce of several months, but has declined, and there are quite a few.

In addition, Yang Jie's reaction is also a strange thing, coupled with Hong Chengchou behind them, Chen Wen always feels that the word weird is everywhere.

But in any case, the army has already entered the city, not only the north road, but also the Shentang camp and the Lishui camp on the south road have also rushed into the city, at this moment, in addition to sweeping the remnants of the Qing army everywhere, the two armies have surrounded the county government regiment guarded by the last formed Qing army.

"Dashuai, the Tartar inside said that Zhang Guoxun has run away, and they want to find a way to live."

If you want to live, wouldn't it be over if you just abandon your weapons and surrender?

"What's the Tartar in there?"

"They didn't answer, and the last general had already sent for the captives to identify them."

"Hmm."

After a while, an officer of the Qing army was brought to Chen Wen, who knew some things about the defense, and he also confirmed the number and belonging of the Qing army in the county office.

"It's an old acquaintance." After listening to what the Qing army officer said, Chen Wen sneered and said to Hou Guoyuan: "It's cheaper to be promoted, that is, let this group of guys go first, and it is just right for their old boss to fight the front station." ”

"The last will obey."

Hou Guoyuan knew very well that if it weren't for Wang Sheng, the fiasco on the shore of Siming Lake would probably not have happened; If it weren't for Wang Sheng, Wang Jiang would not have been captured, and naturally the dirty incident last year would not have happened; If it weren't for Wang Sheng, his old brother Niu Ping'an, the big brother who had always been very responsible in the team would not have died in battle.

Although there is no Wang Sheng in this, this Qing army is the basis for Wang Sheng's ability to do many sins. Moreover, over the years, they have been stained with the blood of the Ming army, and they have a blood feud with the Ming army he is in, and they are no longer within the scope of forgiveness.

Confucius said: "How can we repay virtue if we repay our grievances with virtue?" Repay virtue with virtue and repay grievances with straightforwardness! ”

Reading not only brought Hou Guoyuan a priority promotion of his official position, but also taught him a lot of truths that he had never thought of before. Today is the best opportunity to put these principles into practice.

"Pull the cannon up and blow up the outer wall. Rush in, but no one will be left behind who wears the skin of the green camp! (To be continued.) )
