Chapter 438: Wuzhen Hachao

Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

On the bank of the Xitang River on the official road in Huilai County, Chaozhou, the blood stained the river red, because there were so many corpses of people and horses, that this section of the river no longer flowed, and became a dead river, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell.

Discarded weapons and armor were everywhere on the official roads and on the banks of the river, rotten flags were everywhere on the ground, wounded horses struggled to neigh, and barrels were torn off from the gun carriages, rolling to the ground one by one.

The battle is not over yet, the Han army that commands Wuzhen Hachao is the white flag Gushan Ezhen, and Shen Yongxing, the Duke of Xushun, has already bet all the last strength on hand, he has made a desperate bet, he has no choice, if he can't repel the attack of the Taiping army, he and his Wuzhen Hachao battalion will not see tomorrow's sunrise.

Shen Yongxing is the third successor of the Qing Dynasty, the first successor to Shun Gong Shen Zhixiang is his uncle, died in Shunzhi five years, because there is no child under the knee by his brother's son Shen Yongzhong to take the title, Shunzhi 12 years because of the dismissal, changed to Shen Yongxing to continue the Duke of Shun. This time, he went south to Guangdong with Prince Jian, and Shen Yongxing was personally appointed by Prince An Yue Le as the commander of the Wuzhen Hachao Battalion, hoping that he could work for the Qing Dynasty like Shen Zhixiang, the first successor of Shungong. Now, Shen Yongxing is really working hard.

"Grandpa, you can't fight, let's withdraw, if you don't withdraw, it's too late!"

Deputy Commander Lu Guangzu's face was covered in blood, and his leather armor was torn. Barely hanging on his body, the wound on his left arm was still oozing blood, despite the fact that the wound was still bleeding. He cried and knelt in front of Shen Yongxing, begging Shen Yongxing to withdraw this last bit of men and horses and flee back to Puning quickly, otherwise it would be all over.

Lu Guangzu is a native of Haizhou, Liaodong, and once went down to Sichuan from Prince Su Haoge to break Zhang Xianzhong, and was awarded the first-class Ada Haha Fan for meritorious service. In the ninth year of Shunzhi, Sun Kewang broke Xuzhou, and Li Guohan led his division to help. Lu Guangzu was ordered to be defeated by Sun Kewang's army after the palace, stripped of his first-class Ada Haha title, and in the eleventh year of Shunzhi, he ordered his Wuzhen Hachao camp to atone for his sin.

Lu Guangzu is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Back then, when he broke Zhang Xianzhong with Haoge and beat Sun Kewang with Li Guohan, he was brave enough to charge, and he was never afraid even if the queen of the palace fought a battle that was bound to be defeated. But today he was afraid. It was a terrible battle. There are more than 200 left in the three leading infantry troops under Lu Guangzu, and when he thinks of the unwilling and unbelieving eyes of those subordinates before he dies, Lu Guangzu's heart is like a knife. Before the war, the pride and ambition of pacifying the Taiping Kou in Guangdong have long been gone, and they just want to withdraw quickly, and if they don't withdraw, they may really be wiped out.

Lu Guangzu's plea made Shen Yongxing furious, because of his injury, he could no longer lift the whip to whip the deputy commander who wanted to escape, so he could only stare at this coward angrily. roared: "Whoever dares to withdraw again, this father will cut off his head!" ”

The battle is fought to this extent. For Shen Yongxing, it no longer made any sense, most of the Wuzhenha Chao battalion had been lost, and the Taiping cavalry's desperate attack made the artillery brought from Beijing useless. In the face of the Taiping army, which exceeded his strength by several times, Shen Yongxing had no hope of winning, but knowing that he was losing, knowing that if he rushed again, the whole army would be annihilated, Shen Yongxing still decided to charge without hesitation, because he could not lose and retreat, he could only hold on and wait for the arrival of reinforcements.

Shen Yongxing's co-leader Zuo Yuan was also wounded, this person was the grandson of Zuo Liangyu, the former Ming general, and his father was Zuo Mengeng, who led hundreds of thousands of troops to surrender without a fight. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, the Qing court Xuzuo Mengeng led the troops to reduce the merit and awarded him the first-class essence Qi Nihafan. Later, Zuo Mengeng begged the rebel general Jiang Huang from the British prince Azig, attacked Zuo Weike, and raised the white flag to solidify the mountain. In the eleventh year of Shunzhi, Zuo Mengeng died of illness, and Zuo Yuan, who was only 12 years old, attacked his first-class Jingqi Niha title, and served as an assistant leader in the Han army with a white flag. Zuo Yuan, who was only 16 years old and had no experience in battle formations, went to Prince Jian's mansion to ask for his own life, which made Zuo Yuan famous in Beijing Normal University, and even the queen mother in the palace also knew that Zuo Mengeng's son was a young hero.

Xu is newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Zuo Yuan has not had any fear of the Taiping army until now, so he looked down on Lu Guangzu who said to retreat, looking at the Taiping army in the distance who was slowly pressing towards this side, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of flames of revenge and meritorious service.

"All the commanders are dead, the leaders are dead, the co-leaders are dead, the co-leaders are dead, and all of them are dead! Those who dare to retreat will be killed! ”

Shen Yongxing's face was hideous, and the generals of the Wuzhen Hachao battalion, Li Tianshui, Shi Qing, Bao Jing and others continued to fight. It's not that they don't know that this battle can't be won, but they must obey military orders, because the military law of the Qing Dynasty is not a decoration, they can die here, but they must not disobey the commander's order to retreat, let alone lose the commander, otherwise even if they can go back alive, the head on their necks will not be saved.

Shen Yongxing's heart is actually dripping blood, there are more than 1,000 people left in the Wuzhenha Super Artillery Battalion and the 4 Niu Lu of the guards, it is impossible not to feel distressed, looking at the corpses all over the ground, looking at the cannon barrels that are rolling everywhere, Shen Yongxing is in pain. But he can't let his subordinates perceive his pain, let alone let his subordinates have a glimmer of hope of retreating, he must insist, the fast horse has broken through, reinforcements will arrive at any time, if he retreats now, no one can escape back to Puning under the pursuit of those Taiping cavalry.

"Bao Jing!"

Shen Yongxing's essence flashed, and he suddenly shouted, because he drank too hard, the injury in his chest moved, and he couldn't help but "hiss".

"The last general!"

Co-leader Bao Jing was covered in armor and jumped out of front of the formation. His father, Bao Chengxian, was a strange man, originally a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty, but after the surrender of the Mandate of Heaven in the sixth year, the Empress Jin entered the Wenguan as a bachelor. In the second year of Chongzhen, when Bao Chengxian accompanied Huang Taiji to attack the Ming Dynasty's Jingshi Shuntianfu, it is said that he had a counterplot to kill the Ming Dynasty Governor Yuan Chonghuan. In the first year of Chongde, Bao Chengxian was awarded the title of Scholar of the Inner Secretary Academy by Huang Taiji, and died in the second year of Shunzhi, and his son Bao Jing succeeded him as a second-class lieutenant of the light car.

Shen Yongxing glanced at Bao Jing, who had a hesitant look on his face, nodded heavily at him, his eyes fell on the Taiping army that had rushed up in front of him, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Take your people up!" ”

"Grandpa!"

"Don't go yet!"

Bao Jing seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Shen Yongxing mercilessly.

Lu Guangzu, Li Tianshui, Shi Qing and others all showed painful expressions when they heard this order, Bao Jing stared at Shen Yongxing for a moment, and finally responded: "Tsk! He pulled the horse's head, waved his hand at his subordinates and shouted, "Come with me!" ”

"Grandpa, the last general can also kill the enemy!"

Zuo Yuan rushed ahead of Bao Jing and rushed towards the Taiping Army, Bao Jing was stunned, his lips moved slightly, and he gritted his teeth and beat the horse to follow.

"Fire, fire!"

Shen Yongxing distorted his face, endured the great pain of the wound and roared loudly, and the remaining Wuzhen Hachao gunners adjusted the remaining cannons with their hands and feet, trembling and igniting the fire rope.
