Chapter 396: Don't want to pull Lao Tzu on his back

"General Hu is willing to go with Ben Shuai to capture and kill Shang Zhixin's child?"

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I'm willing to go with Dashuai to capture and kill Shang Zhixin'er!"

When Hu Qili hesitated, his subordinate Qian Chaozong patted his chest and said that he was willing to go. In desperation, Hu Qili had no choice but to bite the bullet and say that he was willing to send troops to attack Sanjiangkou with the Taiping army.

On the same day, more than 10,000 people of the Xinhui Ming Army sailed into the river at the mouth of the three rivers under the command of Jinghai general Chen Qice and Zhenguo general Zhu Tong.

There was a naval division transferred from Chaozhou by Shang Kexi at the mouth of the Sanjiang River, but its scale was small, with only dozens of boat divisions, which could not compete with the Ming army's naval division, which had more than 100 large and small warships. Seeing that the Ming Army's naval division was out again this time, the Chaozhou Boat Division, as it had done twice, first wandered around the periphery of the Ming Army's naval division, and then sailed out of the Sanjiangkou at night, preparing to wait for the Ming Army's naval division to withdraw to Xinhui before driving back, but I didn't know that this time the Ming Army's naval division would not leave.

Hearing that the Chaozhou boat master had run away, Shang Zhixin angrily took a sword and cut off the desk, but there was nothing he could do.

The Ming naval division did not land, but only shelled the Qing defense line on the river, firing artillery from the boat to the shore every quarter of an hour or two. The cannon didn't hit much, and the hit rate was low, but it didn't stop, even at night. As a result, when the dawn came, the Qing troops on the shore were all tortured and depressed.

What frightened Shang Zhixin was not the shelling of the Ming army's naval divisions, but that they suddenly shouted at the same time after dawn, saying that Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, died, Geng Jimao, the king of Jingnan, and your Manchurian masters were all killed by the Taiping army, and Shunde was occupied by our Ming Taiping army. You are surrounded and have no way to escape, if you want to live. Leave the camp quickly, or kill the generals immediately, and the Ming soldiers can be spared and will not die. He even shouted that the person who came to offer the head of Shang Zhixin was an official who was promoted to the third level and was rewarded with a thousand taels of silver

In order to prevent the Qing army in Sanjiangkou from knowing what happened in Guangzhou, he even isolated the Han army and the Zhaoqing Green Battalion from the Qing army camp stationed in Sanjiangkou. The Qing generals stationed at the mouth of the three rivers knew these things. In order to calm people's hearts, they cooperated with Shang Zhixin to block the news, but now the Ming army is shouting like this. No one on the shore could hear it.

Suddenly hearing so many terrifying things, you can imagine how frightened those Qing soldiers stationed in the Qing Dynasty would be and what they would think.

Kong Guozhi and other guest generals spent most of their energy on appeasing their soldiers, saying that it was a trick of the Ming army. Rumor. In order to make your army unstable, they can take advantage of the situation to attack. This barely appeased his subordinates, but the soldiers were still suspicious, and rumors began to spread throughout the battalion.

The garrison Qing army was barely pacified, but the Han army under the domain brought by Shang Zhixin ran away with hundreds of people.

What made Shang Zhixin desperate was that the Han soldiers who fled ran in front of the soldiers he sent to monitor, but none of those soldiers prevented these Han soldiers from escaping the camp.

In this case, the remaining more than 1,000 Han troops who did not run could not be counted on. Even the soldiers of their own family are unreliable, who let their wives and children fall into the hands of the Taiping army. If their family is still in Liaodong. How could such a thing happen? Shang Zhixin complained a little about the regent Dolgon, and told his father to move his subordinates to Guangdong for something.

Zhaoqing Green Camp is also unreliable, Tang Sanshui's performance when he first marched into Xiangshan was quite remarkable, but as soon as he heard that Guangzhou was captured by the Taiping Army, he seemed to be a different person. Shang Zhixin asked him to lead the troops to attack Shunde City, but he dared to use the excuse that the soldiers could not eat enough to attack the city, and rejected His Royal Highness the Prince of Pingnan, which made Shang Zhixin very angry. But he couldn't help the other party, this bastard was also very cunning, and after running to Sanjiangkou, he stayed in his camp all day and didn't go anywhere.

Shang Zhixin sent someone to ask Tang Sanshui why he didn't go to his tent to discuss the army, and he said confidently that his subordinates were unstable, and his deputy general must not leave the camp, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the riots of his subordinates, and if his soldiers were in turmoil, he would have no face to go back to see the chief soldier Xu Erxian.

This move made Shang Ren's idea of getting rid of Tang Sanshui and controlling the Zhaoqing Green Battalion in his hands frustrated, and every time someone mentioned this bastard, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was so angry that his teeth itched. The only thing that made him feel at ease was that although Tang Sanshui did not dare to leave the camp, he did not lead the troops to surrender to the Taiping Army, thinking that he was also afraid that the Taiping Army would remember his hatred, after all, it was his Tang Deputy General who drove the Taiping Army away from the original Lao Wo Luoding.

Shang Zhixin heard that Tang Sanshui killed a lot of people from the Taiping Army in that battle, and one of their big leaders surnamed Hu was killed by Tang Sanshui himself. There is no reason why the Taiping Army should not take revenge for this revenge.

Kong Guozhi, the general soldier of Southern Jiangxi, Song Rui, the general of Yingde, Sun Yi, the deputy general of Nanxiong, and other generals of the Qing army stationed in the Sanjiangkou defense line, and the commander of the monk Zhixin, the commander of Ban Zhifu, had a fierce quarrel over whether to defend the battle.

Ban Zhifu advocated holding the Sanjiangkou and waiting for the Qing troops in Zhaoqing and Chaozhou to attack Guangzhou, so that the Taiping army could be forced to withdraw to Guangzhou and thus relieve the siege of Sanjiangkou. Kong Guozhi and others, on the other hand, believed that they should immediately evacuate the Sanjiang estuary and break through from Shunde Jiujiang to Sanshui to Zhaoqing, rather than placing their hopes on the uncertain Zhaoqing and Chaozhou troops sent to Guangzhou.

Ban Zhifu's proposition was based on the consideration of the overall situation of Guangdong, and Shang Zhixin had sent letters to Zhaoqing and Chaozhou, asking Xu Erxian, the chief soldier of Zhaoqing, and Wu Liuqi, the chief soldier of Chaozhou, to immediately send troops to Guangzhou in order to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

Ban Zhifu and Shang Zhixin agreed that although the morale of the Han army and the Zhaoqing Green Battalion was low and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, the soldiers and horses of Kong Guozhi and Sun Yi and others still had the strength to fight a battle and had a lot of troops, so they could not easily give up Sanjiangkou. As long as Sanjiangkou is still in the hands of the Qing army, the Taiping army will not be able to act arbitrarily even if it occupies Guangzhou.

It is foreseeable that once Zhaoqing Xu Erxian and Chaozhou Wu Liuqi send troops to Guangzhou, the thief Xiucai will definitely lead his troops to come back to help, and when he arrives at the letter of fashion, he can command Kong Guozhi to seize Shunde and attack Guangzhou from the southwest.

But if Kong Guozhi and their opinions were adopted, abandoning Sanjiangkou and going to Shunde Jiucun in the direction of Sanshui, it would undoubtedly be the way to self-destruction. First, it is easy to be attacked by the Shunde Taiping Army, and secondly, this road is not easy to walk, it is a sheep's intestine path, and the heavy carts cannot go at all, so they can only travel lightly.

Tens of thousands of people marched lightly on the sheep intestine path, once blocked by the Taiping army, what the consequences would be, Shang Zhixin didn't need to think about it. The Taiping army in Shunde is not stupid, how can they be allowed to run from under their noses.

Kong Guozhi insisted on withdrawing, unwilling to stay in Sanjiangkou for one more day, and the most thing they repeatedly mentioned was grain and grass.

The grain and grass supply of the Qing army in Sanjiangkou was transferred from Shunde, and now Shunde was captured by the Taiping army, and all the grain and grass that should have been supplied to Sanjiangkou became the Taiping army.

Song Rui, the general of the British and German army, shouted that the top priority must be withdrawn immediately, even if only part of it is worth withdrawing.

Kong Guozhi actually wanted to say that he would sacrifice those ordinary battalion soldiers and only take their own soldiers to withdraw. As long as there are pro-soldiers, they can immediately pull up another team when they go back, and they will still be their chief soldiers and deputy generals. If you continue to stay at the mouth of the three rivers, you will not only face the threat of running out of food, but also face the threat of the Ming army's land and water encirclement, and smart people should not stay in this Jedi any longer. The ghost knows whether Wu Liuqi and Xu Erxian will send troops to Guangzhou, and when they will leave. In this stupid waiting, the wise man does not do it.

Anyway, Guangzhou has been lost, the two princes died and surrendered, the head of the Manchu general was also cut off by the Taiping army, the war in Guangdong has completely collapsed, and the Qing court will not be able to cure them as guest soldiers.

The performance of the Han army and the Zhaoqing Green Battalion under the Pingnan Domain, Kong Guozhi and others did not fail to see it, and they had a thorough understanding of Shang Zhixin's efforts to win them over, it was nothing more than that this prince of Pingnan now had no soldiers available and wanted to rely on them.

Kong Guozhi and others don't want to be Shang Zhixin's cannon fodder, they are just guest soldiers, not to mention that when they followed Shang Kexi to fight Chaozhou, they didn't even drink a cup of soup, and they were driven to the ghost place of Sanjiangkou in the sun and rain, why should they die for Shang Zhixin!

After talking too much, naturally there will be anger blurted out, they are all leading soldiers, and they can still have good words when they are in a hurry?

Sun Yi said, "You have the ability, you Pingnan Domain fights with the Taiping Army by yourself, don't fucking want to pull Lao Tzu on your back!" "Ban Zhifu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Shang Zhixin's face turned green, Kong Guozhi and they were really going to run away, and he, the prince of Pingnan, really didn't have a single soldier available. The prince of Pingnan, who has no soldiers, will the Qing court still recognize him?

During the quarrel, the sentry came to report that there was a Taiping army coming from the direction of Shunde to Sanjiangkou.

Shang Zhixin was shocked and asked the sentinel to investigate again, but the news was confirmed that the Taiping army in Shunde City really killed Sanjiangkou. The one who led the troops as the vanguard of the Taiping Army was still his cousin Shang Keyuan. (To be continued.) )
