Chapter 535: A Miserable End
The enemy army and the Yejiabao army, the two armies confronted each other but did not fight again, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding to choose to wait. The enemy did not fight because they were waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
Ye Shaolong also got the exact news the day after Wang Qingwei's meeting, and the news sent back by the spies clearly pointed out that the four forces of the enemy army were gathering nearly 200,000 troops and preparing to fight him to the death.
After getting such news, Ye Shaolong was very glad that the alliance would have come in time, otherwise the Yejiabao army would really be in trouble this time. It is possible for one to be wiped out by accident.
Ye Shaolong is not nervous now, he is waiting for the news of the alliance, as long as the alliance will send troops to make trouble in the rear of Shandong when the enemy army leaves.
The enemy army in front of him will inevitably be nervous, and then it will depend on whether the three forces in Shandong will continue to cooperate with Feng Guozhang. If they continue to fight, Shandong will inevitably fall.
As soon as Shandong's forces left, Ye Shaolong could take the opportunity to clean up Feng Guozhang and take Hebei by the way. After that, it can form a confrontation with Shandong.
If the League wants to take Shandong, he can also form an encirclement with it in Hebei. Then if the two sides start a war, they will be able to easily break through the defense of the Shandong forces and completely solve this great threat around them.
On the fourth day since the last meeting, Wang Qingwei once again came to the camp of the Yejiabao Army to meet Ye Shaolong on behalf of the Alliance.
The latter did not show his dislike for him anymore, but always entertained him hypocritically, and Ye Shaolong also showed full courtesy to him.
Wang Qingwei told Ye Shaolong in high spirits: "Marshal, our alliance has begun to assemble in the rear of Shandong under the call of Mr. Yixian, and now as soon as their army leaves, we will immediately send troops to attack Shandong." ”
Ye Shaolong laughed, nodded his head frequently, and at the same time told Wang Qingwei that he would also keep his promise, as long as the enemy's Shandong forces retreated, he would immediately take the Yejiabao army to attack Feng Guozhang.
The two sides talked very happily, and Wang Qingwei also stayed, ostensibly to facilitate the contact between the Alliance and Ye Shaolong. In fact, it is to supervise Ye Shaolong, not to release pigeons at critical moments.
Ye Shaolong also knew about this, and he didn't say anything. On the contrary, he hoped that Wang Qingwei could stay, so that he could find an opportunity to kill him.
When the enemy's Shandong forces retreated, if he fought with Feng Guozhang, Ye Shaolong would have a chance to secretly kill Wang Qingwei.
After another two days, the spies of the Yejiabao army finally came with the news that the enemy's reinforcements had been assembled and would set off today.
It took two days to send the news from Shandong to Ye Shaolong. It also means that when Ye Shaolong received the news, the enemy's reinforcements had already set off for two days.
It is preliminarily estimated that its reinforcements should arrive at the junction of Hebei and Tianjin, which means that Shandong should be in flames at this moment, and the alliance is already attacking Shandong.
Ye Shaolong began to pay close attention to the movements of the enemy army, and dozens of spies took turns to fight, ensuring that they were watching every moment, and he could know any disturbances at the first time.
Inside the enemy camp, it still looked calm outside, not much different from usual.
It's just that in the big tent of its boss, there has been a lot of noise!
Zhang Zuosheng's face was dark, his whole body trembled slightly with anger, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood. Not long ago, he received a message from Shandong that their lair was being attacked by unknown forces.
In just one day, four cities have been lost in a row. The rear was already in a complete emergency, and they all begged Zhang Zuosheng to immediately transfer back the reinforcements that had just set off for a few days.
In this way, it means that the battle with the Yejiabao army must come to an end. And those men and horses that were lost before can only be sacrificed in vain.
But these losses in front of them are nothing compared to their old nest. In short, there is no need for Zhang Zuosheng to stay here anymore, and it is the most important thing to rush back immediately to stabilize the nest.
"We have to come back immediately, we can't stay here any longer." Zhang Zuosheng finally gritted his teeth and made such a decision.
Feng Guozhang also had a gloomy face, seeing that the reinforcements were about to arrive, he didn't expect to kill a Cheng biting gold halfway, which directly ruined all their previous plans.
The most fatal thing is that in addition to the Zhang brothers withdrawing their troops, even Yan Xisan, who has always been angry with him, finally decided to withdraw his troops and go back to protect his lair.
In this way, he Feng Guozhang was the only one to face the Yejiabao army alone. Even if there are 30,000 troops who come to support behind, it can add up to about 50,000, and the 200,000 army is not necessarily the opponent of Yejiabao's army, let alone him.
Thinking of this, Feng Guozhang tensed his face and tried his best to persuade Zhang Zuosheng and them: "Three marshals, we are now ready to send arrows, and reinforcements will arrive in two days." But if you give up the attack on the Yejiabao army like this, it will inevitably cause you to lose one thing and lose the other, and in the end, your hometown will not be able to be saved, and in the end, you will even miss a good opportunity to defeat the Yejiabao army. ”
After Zhang Jiachang heard this, he snorted coldly and said with a sneer: "Feng Guozhang, don't stand and talk without backache." It's not that you're attacked in Hebei now, but if you're attacked in Hebei, I don't think you'll talk like that. ”
Yan Xisan hesitated for a moment, and then spoke: "Brother Feng, this time is indeed different from the past, and we are in a hurry to go back, not just because we are afraid of the territory. The main thing is that we are worried about the safety of our families, and once the city is broken, they will inevitably be the first to be harmed. ”
Feng Guozhang was still very anxious and angry, but after listening to Yan Xisan's explanation, he suddenly shrank and paused.
"That's it, that's it, the sky is going to kill me Feng Guozhang, what can I do! Let's disperse, let's all disperse like this. In an instant, Feng Guozhang seemed to be more than ten years old, and his waist had always been straight, which would also collapse directly.
Zhang Zuosheng didn't know what to say at the moment, after all, this time it was indeed their dishonesty in Feng Guozhang, which also led to his direct demise.
No matter how bastard Zhang Zuosheng is, he can't turn a blind eye to Feng Guozhang's situation at this time. In the end, Zhang Zuosheng, who didn't know what to say, sighed softly: "Brother Feng, I'm sorry!" ”
Everyone here was very surprised, Zhang Zuosheng would actually say the three words sorry?
Feng Guozhang was obviously disheartened, waved his hand, and did not respond to anything, turned around alone and left the big tent, disappearing into the vast night.
Soon after, the enemy's camp began to be lively, Zhang Zuosheng and Zhang Jiachang took the lead in leading the troops to leave, and then, Yan Xisan followed closely with the troops.
